POLICY SUMMARY

This summary highlights the features and benefits of the policy, the risks that you should consider before purchasing a policy and the fees and charges associated with the policy and its benefits. More detailed information is included in the other sections of this prospectus which should be read carefully before you purchase the policy.

The Policy's Features and Benefits

The Policy

  • This prospectus describes our standard Asset Accumulator variable universal life insurance policy. The policy provides death benefits, policy values and other features of traditional life insurance contracts. There may be variations in policy features, benefits and charges because of requirements of the state where we issue your policy. We describe all such differences in your policy.

  • If you would like to know about state variations, please ask your agent/registered representative. We can provide him/her with the list of variations that will apply to your policy.

Premium Payments

See Premium Payments, page 22.

  • You choose when to pay and how much to pay.

  • You will need to pay sufficient premiums to keep the policy in force. Failure to pay sufficient premiums may cause your policy to lapse.

  • You cannot pay additional premiums after age 100.

  • We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.

  • We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment and credit the remaining premium (the "net premium") to the variable account or the fixed account according to your instructions.

Free Look Period

See Free Look Period, page 24.

  • During the free look period, you have the right to examine your policy and return it for a refund if you are not satisfied for any reason.

  • The free look period is generally ten days from your receipt of the policy, although certain states may allow more than ten days. The length of the free look period that applies in your state will be stated in your policy.

  • Generally, there are two types of free look refunds:

 

  • Some states require a return of all premium we have received; and

  • Other states require that we return your policy value plus a refund of all fees and charges deducted.

The free look refund that applies in your state will be stated in your policy.

  • During the free look period, your net premium will be allocated among the investment options you have selected unless your state requires a return of premium as the free look refund. In these states your net premium directed to the subaccounts will be allocated to the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio until after the free look period ends.

Death Benefits

See Death Benefits, page 31.

  • Death benefits are paid if your policy is in force when the insured person dies.

  • Until age 100, the amount of the death benefit will depend on which death benefit option is in effect when the insured person dies.

  • There are three death benefit options available under your policy:

 

  • Option 1 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of base insurance coverage you have selected or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A;

  • Option 2 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of base insurance coverage you have selected plus your policy value or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A; or

  • Option 3 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of base insurance coverage you have selected plus premiums paid minus withdrawals taken or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

 

3 - Asset Accumulator

 

Death Benefits
(Continued)

  • After age 100, death benefit Option 1 will apply to all policies and the amount of base insurance coverage selected will equal the amount of base insurance coverage in effect on the policy anniversary nearest the insured person's 100th birthday plus the amount of coverage, if any, under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider on that date.

  • We will reduce the death benefit proceeds payable under any death benefit option by any outstanding loans, accrued loan interest and unpaid fees and charges.

  • The death benefit is generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.

Death Benefit Guarantees

See Death Benefit Guarantees, page 36.

  • Your policy will not lapse as long as your policy value minus any loan account value and accrued loan interest (the "net policy value") is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due.

  • Even if your net policy value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges, when due, the policy has two optional death benefit guarantees which can keep your policy from lapsing:

 

  • For issue ages 25-75, the 20-Year/Age 65 death benefit guarantee is an optional benefit that may be available, but only when you apply for the policy. If you select this guarantee, your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage is guaranteed not to lapse for the greater of 20 years or to age 65 provided:
 

 

  • Your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of the 20-Year/Age 65 death benefit guarantee premium payments to the next monthly processing date; and

  • Your net policy value meets certain diversification requirements.

There is a separate monthly charge for this guarantee.

 

  • For issue ages 25-75, the lifetime death benefit guarantee is an optional benefit that may be available, but only when you apply for the policy. If you select this guarantee, your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage is guaranteed not to lapse for the lifetime of the insured person provided:
   

  • Your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of the lifetime death benefit guarantee premium payments to the next monthly processing date; and

  • Your net policy value meets certain diversification requirements.

There is a separate monthly charge for this guarantee.

  • The death benefit guarantees are subject to state approval and may not be available in some states.

Temporary Insurance

See Temporary Insurance, page 24.

  • If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance equal to the total amount of insurance coverage for which you applied.

  • The maximum amount of temporary insurance is $4.5 million, which includes other in-force coverage you have with us.

  • Temporary insurance may not be available in all states.

Rider Benefits

See Additional Insurance Benefits, page 36.

  • Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of rider benefits:

 

  • Optional rider benefits that you must select before they are effective; and

  • Rider benefits that automatically come with your policy.

  • In many cases, we deduct an additional monthly charge for these benefits.

  • Not all riders may be available under your policy or in your state.

Investment Options

See The Investment Options, page 18.

  • You may allocate your net premiums to the Security Life Separate Account L1 (the "variable account") and to our fixed account.

  • The variable account is one of our separate accounts and consists of subaccounts which invest in corresponding funds. When you allocate premiums to a subaccount, we invest any net premiums in shares of the corresponding fund.

  • Your variable account value will vary with the investment performance of the funds and the charges we deduct from your variable account value.

4 - Asset Accumulator

 

Investment Options
(Continued)

  • The fixed account is part of our general account and consists of all of our assets other than those in our separate accounts (including the variable account) and loan account.

  • We credit interest of at least 3.00% per year on amounts allocated to the fixed account, and we may, in our sole discretion, credit interest in excess of this amount.

Transfers


See Transfers, page 45.

  • You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers between the subaccounts and to the fixed account each policy year. Transfers are, however, subject to any limits, conditions and restrictions that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose.

  • There are certain restrictions on transfers from the fixed account.

  • We do not charge for transfers.

Asset Allocation Programs


See Dollar Cost Averaging, page 46.


See Automatic Rebalancing,
page 46.

  • Dollar cost averaging is a systematic program of transferring policy values to selected subaccounts of the variable account. It is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund's shares is high. It also helps to reduce the risk of investing too little when the price of a fund's shares is low.

  • Automatic rebalancing is a systematic program through which your variable and fixed account values are periodically reallocated among your selected investment options to maintain the allocation percentages you have chosen.

  • There is no charge to participate in these asset allocation programs. There are, however, certain conditions on participation in these asset allocation programs.

  • Neither of these asset allocation programs assures a profit nor do they protect you against a loss in a declining market.

Loans

See Loans, page 44.

  • After the first policy month, you may take loans against your policy's surrender value.

  • A loan must be at least $100 and is generally limited to your surrender value less the periodic fees and charges to your next policy anniversary (or periodic fees and charges for the next 13 months if you take a loan within the 30-day period before your next policy anniversary).

  • When you take a loan from your policy we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the loan account as collateral for your loan. The loan account is part of our general account.

  • We credit amounts held in the loan account with interest at an annual rate no less than 3.00%.

  • We also charge interest on loans. Interest is due in arrears on each policy anniversary and accrues daily at a current annual rate of 3.75% in policy years one through five and at a current rate of 3.00% (guaranteed not to exceed 3.15%) in all years thereafter.

  • Loans reduce your policy's death benefit and may cause your policy to lapse.

  • Loans may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before taking a loan from your policy.

Partial Withdrawals

See Partial Withdrawals,
page 48.

  • After the first policy year, you may take up to 12 partial withdrawals each policy year. In certain circumstances you may take partial withdrawals during the first policy year.

  • A partial withdrawal must be at least $100 and may not exceed the amount which leaves your surrender value less than $500.

  • We charge a fee of $10 for each partial withdrawal.

  • Partial withdrawals may reduce the amount of base and total insurance coverage under your policy and will reduce your policy value.

  • Partial withdrawals may also have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before taking a partial withdrawal from your policy.

Surrenders

See Surrender,
page 50.

  • You may surrender your policy for its surrender value at any time after the free look period while the insured person is alive.

  • Your surrender value is your policy value minus any surrender charge and your outstanding loan amount and accrued loan interest.

  • Surrender charges apply for the first nine years of each segment of base insurance coverage. Surrender charge rates increase after the first segment year, remain level during segment years two through five and then decrease uniformly each segment year thereafter to zero at the beginning of the tenth segment year. Surrender charge rates vary by the insured person's age at the time each base insurance coverage segment is established.

Surrenders

(continued)

  • All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive your surrender request.

  • If you surrender your policy it cannot be reinstated.

  • Surrendering the policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before surrendering your policy.

Reinstatement

See Reinstatement, page 51.

  • You may reinstate your policy (other than the death benefit guarantee) and riders within five years of lapse if you still own the policy and did not surrender it and the insured person is still insurable.

  • You will need to pay the required reinstatement premium.

  • If you had an outstanding loan when coverage lapsed, we will reinstate it with accrued loan interest to the date of the lapse.

  • When we reinstate your policy, we reinstate the surrender charges for the amount and time remaining when your policy lapsed.

  • A policy that is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing may be considered a modified endowment contract for tax purposes.

  • Reinstating your policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before reinstating your policy.

Factors You Should Consider Before Purchasing a Policy

The decision to purchase a policy should be discussed with your agent/registered representative. Make sure you understand the policy's investment options, its other features and benefits, its risks and the fees and charges you will incur. Consider, among others, the following matters.

Life Insurance Coverage

  • The policy is not a short-term savings vehicle and should be purchased only if you need life insurance coverage. Evaluate your need for life insurance coverage before purchasing a policy.

  • You should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

Fees and Charges

See Fees and Charges, page 25.

  • In the early policy years the surrender charge may exceed the policy value because the surrender charge may be more than the cumulative premiums minus policy fees and charges. Therefore, you should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

  • The policy's fees and charges reflect the costs associated with its features and benefits, the services we render, the expenses we expect to incur and the risks we assume under the policy.

  • We believe that the policy's fees and charges, in the aggregate, are reasonable, but before purchasing a policy you should compare the value that these various features, benefits and services have to you, given your particular circumstances, with the fees and charges associated with those features, benefits and services.

Lapse


See Lapse, page 50.

  • Your policy may lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy may terminate if on any monthly processing date:

 

  • A death benefit guarantee is not in effect; and

  • Your net policy value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due.

  • If you meet these conditions, we will send you notice and give you a 61 day grace period to make a sufficient premium payment.

  • If you do not make a sufficient premium payment by the end of the 61 day grace period, your life insurance coverage will terminate and your policy will lapse without value.

  • Partial withdrawals and loans have an adverse impact on your net policy value. Before taking a partial withdrawal or loan consider its effect on your ability to keep your policy from lapsing.


6 - Asset Accumulator

 

Investment Risk

See The Variable Account, page 19.

  • You should evaluate the policy's long-term investment potential and risks before purchasing a policy.

  • For amounts you allocate to the subaccounts of the variable account:

 

  • Your values will fluctuate with the markets, interest rates and the performance of the underlying funds;

  • You assume the risk that your values may decline or may not perform to your expectations;

  • Your policy could lapse without value or you may be required to pay additional premium because of poor fund performance;

  • Each fund has various investment risks, and some funds are riskier than others;

  • You should read each fund's prospectus and understand the risks associated with the fund before allocating your premiums to its corresponding subaccount; and

  • There is no assurance that any fund will achieve its stated investment objective.

  • For amounts you allocate to the fixed account:
 

  • Interest rates we declare will change over time; and

  • You assume the risk that interest rates may decline, although never below the guaranteed minimum annual rate of 3.00%.

Exchanges

See Purchasing a Policy, page 21.

  • Replacing your existing life insurance policy(ies) with the policy described in this prospectus may not be beneficial to you.

  • Before purchasing a policy, determine whether your existing policy(ies) will be subject to fees or penalties upon surrender or cancellation.

  • Also compare the fees, charges, coverage provisions and limitations, if any, of your existing policy(ies) with those of the policy described in this prospectus.

Taxation

See TAX CONSIDERATIONS, page 52.

  • Under current federal income tax law, death benefits of life insurance policies generally are not subject to income tax. In order for this treatment to apply, the policy must qualify as a life insurance contract. We believe it is reasonable to conclude that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract.

  • Assuming the policy qualifies as a life insurance contract under current federal income tax law, your policy earnings are generally not subject to income tax as long as they remain within your policy. Depending on your circumstances, however, the following events may have tax consequences for you:

 

  • Reduction in the amount of your insurance coverage;

  • Partial withdrawals;

  • Loans;

  • Surrender;

  • Lapse; and

  • Reinstatement.

  • In addition, if your policy is a modified endowment contract, a partial withdrawal, surrender or a loan against or secured by the policy will cause income taxation to the extent of any gain in the policy. A penalty tax may be imposed on a distribution from a modified endowment contract as well.

  • There is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or otherwise. You should consult a qualified tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

  • Consult with a qualified legal or tax adviser before you purchase a policy.

Sales Compensation

See Distribution of the Policies, page 64.

  • We pay compensation to broker/dealers who sell the policy.

  • Broker/dealers may be able to choose to receive compensation under various payment options, but their choice will not affect the fees and charges you will pay for the policy.

  • We generally pay more compensation to your agent on premiums paid for base insurance coverage than we do on premiums paid for coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. Talk to your agent/representative about the right blend of base and Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage for you.

Other Products

  • We and our affiliates offer other insurance products which may have different features, benefits, fees and charges. These other products may better match your needs.

  • Contact your agent/registered representative if you would like information about these other products.

The minimum and maximum rates shown are for an insured person in the standard risk class. The cost of insurance rates shown are for the first policy year. The rates have been rounded to the nearest penny. Consequently, the actual rates are either more or less than these rounded rates. The rates that apply to you depend on the amount of your base insurance coverage and the insured person's age, gender, policy duration and risk class and generally increase each year after the first segment year. Different cost of insurance rates will apply to each segment of base insurance coverage. A segment or coverage segment is a block of insurance coverage. The rates for the representative insured person listed above may be more or less than you will pay, and you should contact your agent/registered representative for information about the rates that apply to you. The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for an insured person in the substandard risk class is $83.33 per $1,000 of base insurance coverage.

4

The monthly mortality and expense risk charge rate has been rounded to the nearest one hundredth of one percent. Consequently, the actual rates are either more or less than these rounded rates. See Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, page 26, for the monthly rate without rounding.

5

The charge shown is for policies issued on a guaranteed issue basis. For fully underwritten policies the Policy Charge is $15 per month during the first ten policy years and lower thereafter. After the tenth policy year the Policy Charge is $7.50 per month for both guaranteed issue policies and fully underwritten policies.

6

The administrative charge applies to the first $10 million of coverage and decreases after the tenth policy year. The rates shown have been rounded to the nearest penny. Consequently, the actual rates are either more or less than these rounded rates. The rates vary depending on the issue age of the insured person and the rates for the representative insured person listed above may be more or less than you will pay. You should contact your agent/registered representative for information about the rates that apply to you.

Neuberger Berman Management Inc. ("NBMI") has undertaken through December 31, 2008 to waive fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses, including the compensation of NBMI (except with respect to Growth and Limited Maturity Bond Portfolios) and excluding taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions and transaction costs, that exceed, in the aggregate, 1% of the Growth and Limited Bond Portfolio's average daily net asset value; and 1.50% of the average daily net asset value of the Socially Responsive Portfolio. The expense limitation arrangements for the Portfolios are contractual and any excess expenses can be repaid to NBMI within three years of the year incurred, provided such recoupment would not cause a Portfolio to exceed its respective limitation.

   

26

NBMI has voluntarily committed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses for an additional 0.20% of the average daily net asset value of the Socially Responsive Portfolio to maintain the Portfolio's net operating expense ratio at 1.30%. NBMI can, at its sole discretion, on at least 30 days' notice terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement commitment.

THE COMPANY, THE FIXED ACCOUNT
AND THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1929 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado. We are admitted to do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York. Our headquarters is at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.

We are a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. ING is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The Investment Options

You may allocate your premium payments to any of the available investment options. These options include the fixed account and subaccounts of the variable account. The investment performance of a policy depends on the performance of the investment options you choose.

The Fixed Account

In the policy the "fixed account" is referred to as the "Guaranteed Interest Division."

 

You may allocate all or a part of your net premium and transfer your net policy value into the fixed account. We declare the interest rate that applies to all amounts in the fixed account. Although the interest rate will change over time, the interest rate will never be less than 3.00%. Additionally, we guarantee that the interest rate will not change more frequently than every policy anniversary. Interest compounds daily at an effective annual rate that equals the declared rate. We credit interest to the fixed account on a daily basis. We pay interest regardless of the actual investment performance of our general account. We bear all of the investment risk for the fixed account.

Your fixed account value equals the net premium you allocate to the fixed account, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your policy value.

The fixed account guarantees principal and is part of our general account. The general account supports our non-variable insurance and annuity obligations. We have not registered interests in the fixed account under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"). Also, we have not registered the fixed account or the general account as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act") (because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions). This means that the general account, the fixed account and interests in it are generally not subject to regulation under these Acts.

The SEC staff has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the general account and the fixed account. These disclosures, however, may be subject to certain requirements of the federal securities law regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made.


18 - Asset Accumulator


 

The Variable Account

 

We established Security Life Separate Account L1 on November 3, 1993, as one of our separate accounts under the laws of the State of Colorado. It is a unit investment trust, registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act.

 

In the policy the "variable account" is referred to as the "Separate Account."

We own all of the assets of the variable account and are obligated to pay all amounts due under a policy according to the terms of the policy. Income, gains and losses credited to, or charged against, the variable account reflect the investment experience of the variable account and not the investment experience of our other assets. Additionally, Colorado law provides that we cannot charge the variable account with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. This means that if we ever became insolvent, the variable account assets will be used first to pay variable account policy claims. Only if variable account assets remain after these claims have been satisfied can these assets be used to pay owners of other policies and creditors.

The variable account is divided into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests in a corresponding fund. When you allocate premium payments to a subaccount, you acquire accumulation units of that subaccount. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds when you allocate premium payments to the subaccounts of the variable account. See Appendix B for a list of the funds available through the variable account along with information about each fund's investment adviser/subadviser and investment objective. See the Fund Expense Table which begins on page 15 for fund expense information.

More detailed information about a fund, including information about the risks associated with investing in the fund, is located in the fund's prospectus. Read the fund prospectuses in conjunction with this prospectus, and retain the prospectuses for future reference.

A fund available through the variable account is not the same as a retail mutual fund with the same or similar name. Accordingly, the management, expenses and performance of a fund available through the variable account is likely to differ from a similarly named retail mutual fund.

Voting Privileges. We invest each subaccount's assets in shares of a corresponding fund. We are the legal owner of the fund shares held in the variable account, and we have the right to vote on certain issues. Among other things, we may vote on issues described in the fund's current prospectus or issues requiring a vote by shareholders under the 1940 Act.

Even though we own the shares, we give you the opportunity to tell us how to vote the number of shares attributable to your policy. We count fractional shares. If you have a voting interest, we send you proxy material and a form on which to give us your voting instructions.

Each fund share has the right to one vote. The votes of all fund shares are cast together on a collective basis, except on issues for which the interests of the funds differ. In these cases, voting is on a fund-by-fund basis.

Examples of issues that require a fund-by-fund vote are changes in the fundamental investment policy of a particular fund or approval of an investment advisory agreement.

We vote the shares in accordance with your instructions at meetings of the fund's shareholders. We vote any fund shares that are not attributable to policies and any fund shares for which the owner does not give us instructions in the same proportion as we vote the shares for which we did receive voting instructions.

We reserve the right to vote fund shares without getting instructions from policy owners if the federal securities laws, regulations or their interpretations change to allow this.

 

19 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

You may instruct us only on matters relating to the funds corresponding to the subaccounts in which you have invested assets as of the record date set by the fund's Board for the shareholders meeting. We determine the number of fund shares in each subaccount of your policy by dividing your variable account value in that subaccount by the net asset value of one share of the matching fund.

Right to Change the Variable Account. Subject to state and federal law and the rules and regulations thereunder, we may, from time to time, make any of the following changes to our variable account with respect to some or all classes of policies:

  • Change the investment objective;

  • Offer additional subaccounts which will invest in funds we find appropriate for policies we issue;

  • Eliminate subaccounts;

  • Combine two or more subaccounts;

  • Substitute a new fund for a fund in which a subaccount currently invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in our judgment:

 

  • A fund no longer suits the purposes of your policy;

  • There is a change in laws or regulations;

  • There is a change in the fund's investment objectives or restrictions;

  • The fund is no longer available for investment; or

  • Another reason we deem a substitution is appropriate.

  • In the case of a substitution, the new fund may have different fees and charges than the fund it replaced;

  • Transfer assets related to your policy class to another separate account;

  • Withdraw the variable account from registration under the 1940 Act;

  • Operate the variable account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act;

  • Cause one or more subaccounts to invest in a fund other than, or in addition to, the funds currently available;

  • Stop selling the policy;

  • End any employer or plan trustee agreement with us under the agreement's terms;

  • Limit or eliminate any voting rights for the variable account;

  • Make any changes required by the 1940 Act or its rules or regulations; or

  • Close a subaccount to new investments.

We will not make a change until it is effective with the SEC and approved by the appropriate state insurance departments, if necessary. We will notify you of changes. If you wish to transfer the amount you have in the affected subaccount to another subaccount or to the fixed account, you may do so free of charge. Just notify us at our customer service center.

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY

This prospectus describes our standard Asset Accumulator variable universal life insurance policy. The policy provides death benefits, policy values and other features of traditional life insurance contracts. There may be variations in policy features, benefits and charges because of requirements of the state where we issue your policy. We describe all such differences in your policy.

If you would like to know about state variations, please ask your agent/registered representative. We can provide him/her with the list of variations that will apply to your policy.

We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than the policies, and that may offer some or all of the same funds. These products have different benefits, fees and charges, and may or may not better match your needs. Please note that some of the company's management personnel and certain other employees may receive a portion of their employment compensation based on the amount of policy values allocated to funds affiliated with ING. You should be aware that there are alternative options available, and, if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact our Customer Service Center or your agent/registered representative.

20 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Purchasing a Policy

 

To purchase a policy you must submit an application to us. On that application you will, among other things, select:

  • The amount of your total insurance coverage (which generally must be at least $100,000 for fully underwritten policies and $50,000 for guaranteed issue policies;

  • Your initial death benefit option;

  • The death benefit qualification test to apply to your policy; and

  • Any riders or optional benefits.

Additionally, on the application you will provide us with certain health and other necessary information.

On the date coverage under the policy begins (the "policy date"), the person on whose life we issue the policy (the "insured person") generally can be no more than age 85 (70 for guaranteed issue policies). "Age" under the policy means the insured person's age on the birthday nearest to the policy date. From time to time, we may accept an insured person who exceeds our normal maximum age limit. We will not unfairly discriminate in determining the maximum age at issue. All exceptions to our normal limits are dependent upon our ability to obtain acceptable reinsurance coverage for our risk with an older insured. We may also set a minimum age to issue a policy.

You may request that we back-date the policy up to six months to allow the insured person to give proof of a younger age for the purposes of your policy.

Important Information About the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider

It may be to your economic advantage to include all or part of your insurance coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. Working with your agent, consider the following factors when deciding whether to include coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider and in what proportion to the total amount of coverage under your policy.

  • Cost of Insurance and Other Fees and Charges. The cost of insurance rates and other fees and charges affect the value of your policy. The lower the cost of insurance and other fees and charges, the greater the policy value. Accordingly, please be aware that:

 

  • The current cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider are generally less than the current cost of insurance rates for coverage under the base policy;
 

  • The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider are generally more than the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for coverage under the base policy; and
 

  • Some policy fees and charges that apply to coverage under the base policy may not apply to coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider.

  • Compensation. We generally pay more compensation on premiums paid for coverage under the base policy than we do on premiums paid for coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. See Distribution of the Policies, page 64.

21 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

With these factors in mind, you should discuss with your agent how the use of the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider will affect the costs, benefits, features and performance of your policy. You should also review illustrations based on different combinations of base policy and Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage so that you can decide what combination best meets your needs. The foregoing discussion does not contain all of the terms and conditions or limitations of coverage under the policy or the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, and you should read them carefully to fully understand their benefits and limitations. See also, Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, page 37.

Premium Payments

Premium payments are flexible and you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments, within limits, including:

  • We may refuse to accept any premium less than $25;

  • You cannot pay additional premiums after age 100;

  • We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code;

  • We may refuse any premium that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code without your prior written acknowledgement accepting your policy as a modified endowment contract; and

  • We may refuse to accept any premium that does not comply with our anti-money laundering program. See Anti-Money Laundering, page 60.

After we deduct the premium expense charge from your premium payments, we apply the net premium to your policy as described below.

A premium payment is received by us when it is received at our offices. After you have paid your initial premium, we suggest you send payments directly to us, rather than through your agent/registered representative, to assure the earliest crediting date.

Your initial premium must be at least equal to the sum of the scheduled premium from the policy date through the investment date. The investment date is the date we apply the net premium to your policy.

Scheduled Premium. You may select your scheduled (planned) premium (within our limits) when you apply for your policy. The scheduled premium, shown in your policy and schedule, is the amount you choose to pay over a stated time period. This amount may or may not be enough to keep your policy in force. You may receive premium reminder notices for the scheduled premium on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. You are not required to pay the scheduled premium.

You can change the amount of your scheduled premium within our minimum and maximum limits at any time. If you fail to pay your scheduled premium or if you change the amount of your scheduled premium, your policy performance will be affected.

If you have an optional death benefit guarantee, your scheduled premium should not be less than the guarantee period annual premium shown in your policy. See Death Benefit Guarantees, page 36.

22 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Unscheduled Premium Payments. Generally speaking, you may make unscheduled premium payments at any time, however:

 

  • We may refuse to accept any premium less than $25;

  • You cannot pay additional premiums after age 100;

  • We may limit the amount of an unscheduled premium payment if it would result in an increase in the amount of the base death benefit required by the federal income tax law definition of life insurance. We may require satisfactory evidence that the insured person is insurable at the time that you make the unscheduled premium payment if the base death benefit is increased due to an unscheduled premium payment;

  • We may require proof that the insured person is insurable if an unscheduled premium payment will cause the net amount at risk to increase; and

  • We will return premium payments which would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract, unless you have acknowledged in writing the new modified endowment contract status for your policy.

Target Premium. Target premium is not based on your scheduled premium. Target premium is actuarially determined based on the age and gender of the insured person. The target premium is used to determine your premium expense charge and the sales compensation we pay. It may or may not be enough to keep your policy in force. You are not required to pay the target premium and there is no penalty for paying more or less. The target premium for your policy and additional segments is listed in your policy schedule pages.

Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage. Unless you have an optional death benefit guarantee, your coverage lasts only as long as you have a positive net policy value which is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges due each month. If you do not meet this requirement, your policy will enter a 61-day grace period and you must make a sufficient premium payment to keep your policy from lapsing. See Lapse, page 50.

If you have an optional death benefit guarantee, we guarantee that your policy will not lapse during the guarantee period provided your cumulative premium payments minus any partial withdrawals and any outstanding loan amount and accrued loan interest are at least equal to the guarantee period annual premium and your net policy value meets certain diversification requirements. See Death Benefit Guarantees, page 36.

Allocation of Net Premium. We apply the initial net premium to your policy after all of the following conditions have been met:

  • We receive the required initial premium;

  • All issue requirements have been received by our customer service center; and

  • We approve your policy for issue.

Amounts you designate for the fixed account will be allocated to that account on the investment date. If your state requires return of your premium during the free look period, we initially invest amounts you have designated for the subaccounts of the variable account in the subaccount which invests in the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio. We later transfer these amounts from this subaccount to your selected subaccounts, based on your most recent premium allocation instructions, at the earlier of the following dates:

  • Five days after the date we mailed your policy to you plus the length of your state free look period; or

  • The date we receive your delivery receipt plus the length of your state free look period.

If your state provides for return of your policy value during the free look period (or provides no free look period), we allocate amounts you designated for the subaccounts of the variable account directly into those subaccounts.

23 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

All net premium we receive after the applicable period are allocated to your policy on the valuation date of receipt. We will use your most recent premium allocation instructions specified in percentages stated to the nearest tenth and totaling 100%.

Free Look Period

You have the right to examine your policy and return it to us (for any reason) within the period shown in the policy. The period during which you have this right is called the free look period and starts on the date you receive your policy. If you return your policy to us within the free look period, we cancel it as of your policy date.

If you cancel your policy during the free look period, you will receive a refund as determined by state law. Generally, there are two types of free look refunds:

  • Refund of all premium we have received from you; or

  • Refund of your policy value plus a refund of all charges deducted.

The type of refund that applies in your state will be specified in your policy. The type of free look refund will affect when premium received before the end of the free look period is allocated to the subaccounts. See Allocation of Net Premium, page 23.

Temporary Insurance

If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance in an amount equal to the amount of insurance coverage for which you applied, up to $4.5 million, which includes other in-force coverage you have with us.

Temporary insurance coverage begins when all of the following events have occurred:

  • You have completed and signed our temporary insurance coverage form;

  • We have received and accepted a premium payment of at least your scheduled premium (selected on your application); and

  • The necessary parts of the application are complete.

Unless otherwise provided by state law, temporary insurance coverage ends on the earliest of:

  • Five days after we mail the premium refund to the address on your application;

  • Five days after we mail notice of termination to the address on your application;

  • Your policy date;

  • The date we refuse to issue a policy based on your application; or

  • 90 days after you sign our temporary life insurance coverage form.

There is no death benefit under the temporary insurance coverage if any of the following events occur:

  • There is a material misrepresentation in your answers on the temporary insurance coverage form;

  • There is a material misrepresentation in statements on your application;

  • The person or persons intended to be insured die by suicide or self-inflicted injury; or

  • The bank does not honor your premium check or authorized withdrawal.

During the period of temporary insurance coverage your premium payments are held by us in a general suspense account until underwriting is completed and the policy is issued or the temporary insurance coverage otherwise ends. Premiums held in this suspense account do not earn interest and they are not allocated to the investment options available under the policy until a policy is issued. See Allocation of Net Premium, page 23.

24 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Fees and Charges

 

We deduct fees and charges under the policy to compensate us for:

  • Providing the insurance benefits of the policy (including any rider benefits);

  • Administering the policy;

  • Assuming certain risks in connection with the policy; and

  • Incurring expenses in distributing the policy.

The amount of a fee or charge may be more or less than the cost associated with the service or benefit. Accordingly, excess proceeds from one fee or charge may be used to make up a shortfall on another fee or charge, and we may earn a profit on one or more of these fees and charges. We may use any such profits for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, payment of sales expenses.

Transaction Fees and Charges

We deduct the following transaction fees and charges from your policy value each time you make certain transactions.

Premium Expense Charge. We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment we receive.

Segment Year

Premium Expense Charge for Amounts up to Target Premium

Premium Expense Charge for Amounts in Excess of
Target Premium

1

9.50%

8.50%

2+

8.50%

5.50%

For policies issued in Pennsylvania, the guaranteed maximum premium expense charge is 9.50% of all premium in all years.

This charge helps offset:

  • The expenses we incur in selling the policy;

  • The costs of various state and local taxes. We pay state and local taxes in almost all states. These taxes vary in amount from state to state and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction within a state; and

  • The cost associated with the federal income tax treatment of our deferred acquisition costs. This cost is determined solely by the amount of life insurance premium we receive.

Partial Withdrawal Fee. We deduct a partial withdrawal fee each time you take a partial withdrawal from your policy. The amount of this fee is $10. We deduct the partial withdrawal fee proportionately from your remaining fixed and variable account values.

This fee helps offset the expenses we incur when processing a partial withdrawal.

Surrender Charge. We deduct a surrender charge during the first nine segment years when you:

  • Surrender your policy;

  • Allow your policy to lapse;

  • Decrease your base insurance coverage; or

  • Take a partial withdrawal which decreases the amount of your base insurance coverage.

The amount of the surrender charge depends on the amount of base insurance coverage surrendered or decreased and the surrender charge rates.

25 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

When you purchase a policy or increase your base insurance coverage, we set surrender charge rates based on the gender and age of the insured person. Surrender charges apply for the first nine years of each segment of base insurance coverage. The surrender charge rates increase after the first segment year, remain level during segment years two through five and then decrease uniformly each year to zero at the beginning of the tenth segment year. Each coverage segment will have its own set of surrender charge rates which will apply only to that segment. See Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage, page 31. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Transaction Fees and Charges table on page 8 for the minimum and maximum surrender charge rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

For full surrenders, you will receive the surrender value of your policy. For decreases in the amount of base insurance coverage, the surrender charge will reduce your policy value. If there are multiple segments of base insurance coverage, the coverage decreases and surrender charges assessed will be processed on a pro rata basis.

In the early policy years the surrender charge may exceed the policy value because the surrender charge may be more than the cumulative premiums minus policy fees and charges. Therefore, you should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

The surrender charge helps offset the expenses we incur in issuing and distributing the policy.

Excess Illustration Fee. We currently do not assess this fee, but we reserve the right to assess a fee of up to $25 for each illustration of your policy values you request after the first each policy year.

This fee helps offset the costs we incur when processing requests for excess illustrations.

Redemption Fees. If applicable, we may deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by the underlying mutual funds as a result of withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions you initiate. Redemption fees, if any, are separate and distinct from any transaction charges or other charges deducted from your policy value.

Periodic Fees and Charges

We deduct the following periodic fees and charges from your policy value on the monthly processing date. The monthly processing date is the same date each month as your policy date. If that date is not a valuation date, then the monthly processing date is the next valuation date.

At any time you may choose one investment option from which we will deduct your periodic fees and charges. If you do not choose the investment option or the amount in your chosen investment option is not enough to cover the periodic fees and charges, then your periodic fees and charges are taken from the subaccounts and fixed account in the same proportion that your value in each has to your net policy value.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. Each month we deduct from your policy value a mortality and expense risk charge based on the amount invested in the subaccounts according to the following rates:


Policy Years

Percentage of the Amount Invested
in the Variable Account

1 - 5

0.0375% (0.45% on an annual basis)

6 - 10

0.025% (0.30% on an annual basis)

11+

0.00%

 

26 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

This charge helps compensate us for the mortality and expense risks we assume when we issue a policy. The mortality risk is the risk that insured people, as a group, may live less time than we estimated. The expense risk is the risk that the costs of issuing and administering the policies and operating the subaccounts of the variable account are greater than we estimated.

 

Policy Charge. Each month we deduct a policy charge. For policies issued on a guaranteed issue basis this charge is $20 per month during the first ten policy years and $7.50 per month thereafter. For fully underwritten policies this charge is $15 per month during the first ten policy years and $7.50 per month thereafter.

This charge helps compensate us for the costs associated with:

  • Processing applications;

  • Conducting medical examinations;

  • Establishing policy records; and

  • Underwriting.

Administrative Charge. Each month we deduct an administrative charge equal to our current monthly administrative charge rates multiplied by the amount of your base insurance coverage (or total insurance coverage, if greater) divided by 1,000. The rates apply to the first $10 million of coverage and vary based on the insured person's age at issue. The rates decrease after the tenth policy year. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Periodic Fees and Charges table on page 9 for the minimum and maximum administrative charge rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

This charge helps offset the costs we incur in administering the policy, including costs associated with:

  • Billing and collecting premiums;

  • Processing claims and policy transactions;

  • Keeping records;

  • Reporting and communicating with policy owners; and

  • Our overhead and other expenses.

Cost of Insurance. Each month we deduct a cost of insurance charge equal to our current monthly cost of insurance rates multiplied by the net amount at risk for each segment of your base insurance coverage. The net amount at risk as calculated on each monthly processing date equals the difference between:

  • Your current base death benefit, discounted to take into account one month's interest earnings at an assumed 3.00% annual interest rate; and

  • Your policy value minus the periodic fees and charges due on that date, other than cost of insurance charges.

Monthly cost of insurance rates are based on the insured person's age at issue, gender, risk class and amount of insurance coverage on the policy date and each date you increase your insurance coverage (a "segment date") and the segment year. They will not, however, be greater than the guaranteed cost of insurance rates shown in the policy, which are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Sex Distinct Mortality Tables. We will apply unisex rates where appropriate under the law. This currently includes policies issued in the state of Montana and policies issued to employers or employee organizations in connection with employment related insurance or benefit programs. For fully underwritten policies, we make lower current cost of insurance rates available for total death benefit amounts of $250,000 or more. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Periodic Fees and Charges table on page 9 for the minimum and maximum cost of insurance r ates and the rates for a representative insured person.

27 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

Separate cost of insurance rates apply to each segment of your insurance coverage and your riders. The maximum rates for the initial segment and each new segment of your insurance coverage will be printed in your policy schedule pages.

The cost of insurance charge varies from month to month because of changes in your net amount at risk, changes in your death benefit and the increasing age of the insured person. The net amount at risk is affected by the same factors that affect your policy value, namely:

  • The net premium applied to your policy;

  • The fees and charges we deduct;

  • Any partial withdrawals you take;

  • Interest earnings on the amounts allocated to the fixed account;

  • Interest earned on amounts held in the loan account; and

  • The investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account.

We calculate the net amount at risk separately for each segment of your insurance coverage. We allocate the net amount at risk to segments of the base death benefit in the same proportion that each segment has to the total base death benefit for all insurance coverage as of the monthly processing date.

There are no cost of insurance charges during the continuation of coverage period.

The cost of insurance charge compensates us for the ongoing costs of providing insurance coverage, including the expected cost of paying death benefit proceeds that may be more than your policy value.

Optional Rider Fees and Charges

There may be separate fees and charges for optional rider benefits. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table on page 10, and the Optional Rider Benefits section on page 36 for more information about the optional rider benefits and the applicable fees and charges.

Waiver and Reduction of Fees and Charges

We may waive or reduce any of the fees and charges under the policy, as well as the minimum amount of insurance coverage set forth in this prospectus. Any waiver or reduction will be based on expected economies that result in lower sales, administrative or mortality expenses. For example, we may expect lower expenses in connection with sales to:

  • Certain groups or sponsored arrangements (including our employees, employees of our affiliates, our appointed sales agents and certain family members of each of these groups of individuals);

  • Corporate purchasers;

  • Our policyholders or the policyholders of our affiliated companies, or

  • Certain groups or individuals who purchase the policy through investment professionals who charge a fee for their services.

Any variation in fees and charges will be based on differences in costs or services and our rules in effect at the time. We may change our rules from time to time, but we will not unfairly discriminate in any waiver or reduction.

Fund Fees and Expenses

 

As shown in the Fund Expense Table which begins on page 15 of this prospectus, each fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to the funds. In addition, each fund deducts other expenses which may include service fees which are used to compensate service providers, including the company and its affiliates, for administrative and policy owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Furthermore, certain funds deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares. For a more complete description of the funds' fees and expenses, review each fund's prospectus.

The company, or its U.S. affiliates, receives from each of the funds or the funds' affiliates varying levels and types of revenue with respect to each of the funds available through the policy. In terms of the total dollar amounts received, the greatest amount of revenue comes from assets allocated to funds managed by ING Investments, LLC or other company affiliates, which funds are either not subadvised or are subadvised by another company affiliate. Assets allocated to funds managed by a company affiliate, Directed Services, Inc., for example, but which are subadvised by unaffiliated third parties generate the next greatest amount of revenue. Finally, assets allocated to unaffiliated funds generate the least amount of revenue.

Types of Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds

Affiliated funds are (a) funds managed by ING Investments, LLC or other company affiliates, which funds are either not subadvised or are subadvised by another company affiliate; and (b) funds managed by a company affiliate but which are subadvised by unaffiliated third parties.

Revenues received by the company from affiliated funds and/or their affiliates may include:

  • Service fees that are deducted from fund assets and included within the "Other Expenses" column of the Fund Expense Table which begins on page 15 of this prospectus; and

  • Revenues which may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the company or a percentage of the management fees shown in the Fund Expense Table. These revenues may be received as cash payments or according to a variety of financial accounting techniques which are used to allocate revenue and profits across ING businesses. For funds subadvised by unaffiliated third parties, once the subadviser has been paid, the adviser may share a portion of the remaining management fee with the company. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying amounts of revenue are retained by the affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the company.

29 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

Types of Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds

Revenue received from each of the unaffiliated funds or their affiliates is based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the company. Some unaffiliated funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant.

Revenues received by the company from unaffiliated funds and/or their affiliates may include:

  • For certain funds, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the Fund Expense Table which begins on page 15 of this prospectus; and

  • Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services which we provide to the funds or their affiliates or as an incentive for us to make the funds available through the policy. These additional payments are not disclosed in the Fund Expense Table. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the policy.

The three unaffiliated fund families which currently have funds offered through the policy, ranked according to total dollar amounts they paid to the company or its affiliates in 2004, are as follows:

  • Fidelity Variable Insurance Product Portfolios;

  • Neuberger Berman AMT Portfolios; and

  • American Funds Insurance Series.

If the revenues received from affiliated funds were included in this list, payments to the company or its affiliates by ING Investments, LLC and other company affiliates would be at the top of the list.

Management personnel of the company and of its affiliated broker-dealers may receive additional compensation if the overall amount of investments in funds advised by company affiliates meets certain target levels or increases over time. Compensation for certain management personnel, including sales management personnel, may be enhanced if the overall amount of investments in the policies and other products issued by the company or its affiliates increases over time. Certain sales management personnel may also receive compensation that is a specific percentage of the commissions paid to distributors or of purchase payments received under the policies.

Death Benefits

 

You decide the amount of life insurance protection you need, now and in the future. Generally, we require a minimum of $100,000 ($50,000 for guaranteed issue policies) of total insurance coverage to issue your policy. We may lower this minimum for certain group, sponsored or corporate purchasers. The amount of insurance coverage in effect on your policy date is your initial coverage segment.

 

In the policy the amount of insurance coverage you select is referred to as the "Face Amount."

It may be to your economic advantage to include part of your insurance coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. See Important Information About the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, page 21.

 

Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage

Subject to certain limitations, generally you may change the amount of your insurance coverage after the first policy year (first monthly processing date for an increase). The change will be effective on the next monthly processing date after we receive your written request.

There may be underwriting or other requirements that must be met before we will approve a change. After we approve your request to change the amount of insurance coverage under the policy, we will send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our customer service center so that we can make this change for you.

Changes in the amount of your insurance coverage must be for at least $1,000.

A coverage segment or segment is a block of insurance coverage. A requested increase in base insurance coverage will cause a new coverage segment to be created. Once we create a new segment, it is permanent unless law requires differently.


31 - Asset Accumulator

 

Each new segment will have:

  • A new premium expense charge;

  • New cost of insurance charges, guaranteed and current;

  • A new incontestability period;

  • A new suicide exclusion period;

  • A new target premium; and

  • A new surrender charge.

If a death benefit option change causes the amount of base insurance coverage to increase, no new segment is created. Instead, the size of each existing segment(s) is (are) changed. If it causes the amount of base insurance coverage to decrease, each segment is decreased.

In determining the net amount at risk for each coverage segment we allocate the net amount at risk among the base coverage segments in the same proportion that each segment bears to the total amount of base insurance coverage.

You may not decrease the amount of your insurance coverage below the minimum we require to issue you a policy. Decreases in insurance coverage may result in:

  • Surrender charges on the amount of the decrease;

  • Reduced target premium amounts; and

  • Reduced cost of insurance charges.

Requested reductions in the amount of insurance coverage will first decrease your total insurance coverage amount. We decrease your base insurance coverage amount only after your Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage is reduced to zero. If you have more than one segment, we divide decreases in base coverage among your coverage segments pro rata unless law requires differently.

We reserve the right not to approve a requested change in your insurance coverage that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, we may refuse to approve a requested change in your insurance coverage that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code without your prior written acknowledgment accepting your policy as a modified endowment contract. Decreasing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy could cause your policy to be considered a modified endowment contract. If this happens, prior and subsequent distributions from the policy (including loans) may be subject to adverse tax treatment. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before changing your amount of insurance coverage. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 54

Continuation of Coverage

The continuation of coverage feature automatically continues your insurance coverage in force beyond the policy anniversary nearest the insured person's 100th birthday (the "continuation of coverage period"), unless prohibited by state law. If you do not surrender your policy before this date, on this date:

  • The amount of your total insurance coverage becomes your base insurance coverage amount;

  • Death benefit Options 2 and 3 are converted to death benefit Option 1, if applicable;

  • All riders are terminated;

  • Your net policy value is transferred into the fixed account and subsequent transfers into the subaccounts are not allowed; and

  • Dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing programs are terminated.

32 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Your insurance coverage continues in force until the death of the insured person, unless the policy lapses or is surrendered. However:

 

  • We accept no further premium payments; and

  • We deduct no further fees and charges except transaction fees and charges, if applicable.

Partial withdrawals and loans are allowed during the continuation of coverage period. If you have an outstanding loan, interest continues to accrue. If you fail to make sufficient loan or loan interest payments, it is possible that the outstanding loan amount plus accrued loan interest may become greater than your policy value and cause your policy to lapse. To avoid lapse, you may repay the loan and loan interest during the continuation of coverage period.

If you wish to stop coverage during the continuation of coverage period, you may surrender your policy and receive the net policy value. There is no surrender charge during this period. All other normal consequences of surrender apply. See Surrender, page 50.

The continuation of coverage feature is not available in all states. If a state has approved this feature, it is automatic under your policy. In certain states the death benefit during the continuation of coverage period is the net policy value. Contact your agent/registered representative or our customer service center to find out if this feature is available in your state and which type of death benefit applies in your state.

The tax consequences of coverage continuing beyond the insured person's 100th birthday are uncertain. You should consult a qualified tax adviser as to those consequences. See Continuation of a Policy, page 56.

Death Benefit Qualification Tests

The death benefit proceeds are generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance. Your policy will meet this definition of life insurance provided that it meets the requirements of either the guideline premium test or the cash value accumulation test.

When you apply for a policy you must choose either the guideline premium test or the cash value accumulation test to make sure your policy complies with the Internal Revenue Code's definition of "life insurance." You cannot change this choice once the policy is issued.

Guideline Premium Test. The guideline premium test requires that premium payments do not exceed certain statutory limits and your death benefit is at least equal to your policy value multiplied by a factor defined by law. The guideline premium test provides for a maximum amount of premium in relation to the death benefit and a minimum amount of death benefit in relation to policy value. The factors for the guideline premium test can be found in Appendix A to this prospectus.

 

In the policy the "guideline premium test" is referred to as the "Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test."

Certain changes to a policy which uses the guideline premium test may allow the payment of premium in excess of the statutory limits in order to keep the policy from lapsing. In this circumstance, any such excess premium will be allocated to the fixed account in order for the policy to continue to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.

Cash Value Accumulation Test. The cash value accumulation test requires a policy's surrender value not to exceed the net single premium necessary to fund the policy's future benefits. Under the cash value accumulation test, there is generally no limit to the amount that may be paid in premiums as long as there is enough death benefit in relation to policy value at all times. The death benefit at all times must be at least equal to an actuarially determined factor, depending on the insured person's age and gender at any point in time, multiplied by the policy value. A description of how the cash value accumulation test factors are determined can be found in Appendix A to this prospectus.

33 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

Which Death Benefit Qualification Test to Choose. The guideline premium test limits the amount of premium that may be paid into a policy. If you do not desire to pay premiums in excess of the guideline premium test limitations, you should consider the guideline premium test.

The cash value accumulation test does not limit the amount of premium that may be paid into a policy. If you desire to pay premiums in excess of the guideline premium test limitations you should elect the cash value accumulation test. However, any premium that would increase the net amount at risk is subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Required increases in the death benefit due to growth in policy value will generally be greater under the cash value accumulation test than under the guideline premium test. Required increases in the death benefit will increase the cost of insurance under the policy, thereby reducing the policy value.

Death Benefit Options

There are three death benefit options available under the policy. You choose the option you want when you apply for the policy. You may change that choice after your first monthly processing date and before age 100.

Option 1. Under death benefit Option 1, the base death benefit is the greater of:

  • The amount of base insurance coverage in effect on the date of the insured person's death; or

  • Your policy value on the date of the insured person's death multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

Under this option your base death benefit will remain level unless your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A exceeds the amount of base insurance coverage. In this case, your death benefit will vary as the policy value varies.

With Option 1, positive investment performance generally reduces your net amount at risk, which lowers your policy's cost of insurance charge. Option 1 also offers insurance coverage at a set amount with potentially lower cost of insurance charges over time.

Option 2. Under death benefit Option 2, the base death benefit is the greater of:

  • The amount of base insurance coverage in effect on the date of the insured person's death plus your policy value; or

  • Your policy value on the date of the insured person's death multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

Under this option your base death benefit will vary as the policy value varies and investment performance is reflected in your insurance coverage.

Option 2 is not available after age 100. If Option 2 is in effect at age 100, it automatically converts to death benefit Option 1. See Continuation of Coverage, page 32.

Option 3. Under death benefit Option 3, the base death benefit is the greater of:

  • The amount of base insurance coverage in effect on the date of the insured person's death plus premiums paid minus withdrawals taken; or

  • Your policy value on the date of the insured person's death multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

Under this option your base death benefit will vary as you pay premiums and take withdrawals or if your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A exceeds the amount of base insurance coverage plus premiums paid minus withdrawals taken.

Option 3 is not available after age 100. If Option 3 is in effect at age 100, it automatically converts to death benefit Option 1. See Continuation of Coverage, page 32.

34 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Which Death Benefit Option to Choose. If you are satisfied with the amount of your base insurance coverage and prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in the policy value and lower cost of insurance charges, you should choose death benefit Option 1. If you prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected partly in the form of an increasing death benefit, you should choose death benefit Option 2. If you require a specific death benefit which would include a return of the premium paid, death benefit Option 3 may best meet your needs.

 

Changing Death Benefit Options. On or after the first monthly processing date and before age 100 you may change death benefit options as described below. We may require evidence of insurability under our normal rules of underwriting for some death benefit option changes.

Changing your death benefit option may reduce or increase your base and total insurance coverage amounts but it will not change the amount of your base and total death benefits. We may not approve a death benefit option change if it reduces the amount of insurance coverage below the minimum we require to issue your policy. The following death benefit option changes are allowed, and on the effective date of the change the amount of your base insurance coverage will change as follows:

Change From:

Change To:

Base Insurance Coverage Following the Change:

Option 1

Option 2

  • Your base insurance coverage before the change minus your policy value as of the effective date of the change.

Option 2

Option 1

  • Your base insurance coverage before the change plus your policy value as of the effective date of the change.

Option 3

Option 1

  • Your base insurance coverage before the change plus the sum of all premium payments we have received minus all partial withdrawals you have taken as of the effective date of the change.

Your death benefit option change is effective on your next monthly processing date after we approve it.

After we approve your request, we send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our customer service center so that we can make this change for you.

If a death benefit option change causes the amount of insurance coverage to change, no new coverage segment(s) is (are) created. Instead, the size of each existing segment(s) is (are) changed. If you change death benefit options, there is no change to the amount of term insurance if you have the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. See Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, page 37.

We do not impose a surrender charge if a death benefit option change results in a decrease in the amount of your base insurance coverage. Additionally, we do not adjust the target premium when you change your death benefit option. See Surrender Charge, page 25.

Changing your death benefit option may have tax consequences. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before making changes.

Death Benefit Proceeds

After the insured person's death, if your policy is in force we pay the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are the people you name to receive the death benefit proceeds from your policy. The death benefit proceeds are equal to:

  • Your base death benefit; plus

  • The amount of any rider benefits; minus

  • Any outstanding loan amount plus accrued loan interest; minus

  • Any outstanding fees and charges incurred before the insured person's death.

The death benefit is calculated as of the date of the insured person's death and will vary depending on the death benefit option you have chosen.

Death Benefit Guarantees

The following optional Death Benefit Guarantee Riders may be available and provide that the policy will not lapse even if the net policy value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges each month:

  • 20-Year/Age 65 Death Benefit Guarantee Rider; and

  • Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider.

If available, these optional rider benefits may be selected only when you apply for the policy. There may be a separate monthly charge for these rider guarantees. See 20-Year/Age 65 Benefit Guarantee Rider, page 38 and Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider, page 39.

Additional Insurance Benefits

Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of riders:

  • Those that provide optional benefits that you must select before they are effective; and

  • Those that automatically come with the policy.

The following information does not include all of the terms and conditions of each rider, and you should refer to the rider to fully understand its benefits and limitations. We may offer riders not listed here. Not all riders may be available under your policy. Contact your agent/registered representative for a list of riders and their availability.

Optional Rider Benefits

The following riders may have an additional cost, but you may cancel optional riders at any time. Adding or canceling riders may have tax consequences. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 54.

36 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. You may increase the amount of your total insurance coverage under the policy by adding coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. This rider allows you to schedule the pattern of insurance coverage appropriate for your anticipated needs. As the name suggests, the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider adjusts over time to maintain your desired level of total coverage.

 

In the policy "base insurance coverage" or "base coverage" is referred to as the "Stated Death Benefit"; the "total insurance coverage" or "total coverage" is referred to as the "Target Death Benefit."

You specify your amount of total insurance coverage when you apply for this rider. The amount of total insurance coverage can be level for the life of your policy or can be scheduled to change at the beginning of a selected policy year(s).

Generally, the minimum amount of total insurance coverage under a policy is $100,000 ($50,000 for guaranteed issue policies).

The Adjustable Term Insurance Rider benefit is the difference between the amount of your total death benefit and your base death benefit, but not less than zero. The rider's benefit automatically adjusts daily as the amount of your base death benefit changes. Your death benefit proceeds depend on which death benefit option is in effect.

 

Under death benefit Option 1, the total death benefit is the greater of:

  • The amount of total insurance coverage you have selected; or

  • Your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

Under death benefit Option 2, the total death benefit is the greater of:

  • The amount of total insurance coverage you have selected plus your policy value; or

  • Your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

Under death benefit Option 3, the total death benefit is the greater of:

  • The amount of total insurance coverage you have selected plus the sum of the premium payments we have received minus partial withdrawals you have taken; or

  • Your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

For example, under death benefit Option 1, assume your base death benefit changes as a result of a change in your policy value. The Adjustable Term Insurance Rider adjusts to provide death benefit proceeds equal to your total insurance coverage in each year:

Base Death Benefit

Amount of
Total Insurance Coverage

Adjustable Term
Insurance Benefit

$201,500

$250,000

$48,500

$202,500

$250,000

$47,500

$202,250

$250,000

$47,750

It is possible that the amount of your adjustable term insurance may be zero if your base death benefit increases enough. Using the same example, if the base death benefit under your policy grew to $250,000 or more, the adjustable term insurance benefit would be zero.

Even when the adjustable term insurance benefit is reduced to zero, your rider remains in effect until you remove it from your policy. Therefore, if later the base death benefit drops below the amount of your total insurance coverage, the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage reappears to maintain the amount of your total insurance coverage.

You may change the amount of your total insurance coverage, according to our rules. See Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage, page 31.

37 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

We may deny future, scheduled increases to the amount of your total insurance coverage if you cancel a scheduled change or if you ask for an unscheduled decrease in your total insurance coverage.

Partial withdrawals, changes from death benefit Option 1 to Option 2, and decreases in the amount of your base insurance coverage may reduce the amount of your total insurance coverage. See Partial Withdrawals, page 48; and Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage, page 31.

There is no defined premium for a given amount of adjustable term insurance benefit. Instead, we deduct a separate monthly cost of insurance charge from your policy value. The cost of insurance for this rider is calculated as the monthly cost of insurance rate for the rider benefit multiplied by the amount of adjustable term insurance benefit in effect at the monthly processing date. The cost of insurance rates are determined by us from time to time. They are based on the issue age, gender and risk class of the insured person, as well as the length of time since your policy date. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table on page 10 for the minimum rates, maximum rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

The only charge for this rider is the cost of insurance charge. The total charges that you pay may be more or less if you have some coverage under an Adjustable Term Insurance Rider rather than just base insurance coverage. There are no premium expense charges or surrender charges for this coverage.

If the total insurance coverage is increased by you after the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider is issued, we use the same cost of insurance rate schedule for the entire coverage for this rider. These rates are based on the original risk class even though satisfactory new evidence of insurability is required for the increased schedule. Although the maximum cost of insurance rates for this rider are greater than the maximum cost of insurance rates for the base insurance coverage, the current rates for this rider are generally lower than current cost of insurance rates for the base insurance coverage. See Cost of Insurance, page 27.

Not all policy features may apply to the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider.

This rider will terminate on the earliest of the following dates:

  • The expiration date of the policy grace period;

  • The date the policy is terminated or surrendered;

  • The next monthly processing date after we receive your written notice to cancel the rider; or

  • The policy anniversary nearest the insured's 100th birthday.

If this rider terminates, it cannot be reinstated.

See also, Important Information About the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, page 21.

20-Year/Age 65 Death Benefit Guarantee Rider. The 20-Year/Age 65 Death Benefit Guarantee Rider provides a guarantee that your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage will not lapse for the greater of 20 years or to age 65 provided:

  • Your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of the 20 year death benefit guarantee premium payments to the next monthly processing date; and

  • Your net policy value meets one of the following diversification requirements:

  • Your net policy value is allocated to at least five investment options with no more than 35% invested in any one investment option; or

  • At least 65% of your net policy value is allocated to one or more of the ING VP Strategic Allocation portfolios.

38 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Each month during the guarantee period we deduct a charge for this rider based on a rate that varies depending on the issue age of the insured person. See Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, page 10. The amount of this charge will be determined by dividing the amount of guaranteed coverage by 1,000 and multiplying the result by the rate set forth in your policy. The amount of guaranteed coverage equals the amount of your total insurance coverage minus your policy value.

 

You should consider the following factors when deciding whether to add the 20-Year/Age 65 Death Benefit Guarantee Rider to your policy:

  • This rider is available for issue ages 25-75;

  • You may add this rider only when you apply for the base policy;

  • The 20-Year/Age 65 death benefit guarantee period begins on the policy date;

  • The minimum premium required to keep this rider in effect will be set forth in your policy and will be based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person's gender, risk class and age;

  • If your policy benefits change, the minimum premium for this rider will also change;

  • Transfers between investment options which are made in response to our notice to you that your policy is not sufficiently diversified will not count as transfers for purposes of any limits or restrictions on transfers which we may impose (see Transfers, page 45).

  • This rider covers only your base policy and Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, if any. If your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider are kept in force because of the guarantee under this rider, coverage under all other riders will terminate;

  • This rider may not be available for certain risk classes;

  • This rider cannot be added to a policy with death benefit Option 3 or the Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider;

  • You may terminate this rider at any time during the guarantee period upon written notice to us;

  • A loan may cause the termination of this guarantee because we deduct your loan amount plus accrued interest from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the guarantee in effect; and

  • Even if this rider terminates, your policy will not necessarily lapse (see Lapse, page 50).

We will notify you if on any monthly processing date you have not paid enough premium to keep this rider in force or your policy is not sufficiently diversified. This notice will show the amount of premium required to maintain this rider benefit and, if applicable, explain the diversification requirement. If we do not receive the required premium payment or you do not adequately diversify your policy within 61 days from the date of our notice, this rider will terminate. If this rider terminates, it cannot be reinstated.

Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider. The Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider provides a guarantee that your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider will not lapse during your lifetime:

  • Your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of the lifetime death benefit guarantee premium payments to the next monthly processing date; and

  • Your net policy value meets one of the following diversification requirements:
 

  • Your net policy value is allocated to at least five investment options with no more than 35% invested in any one investment option; or
 

  • At least 65% of your net policy value is allocated to one or more of the ING VP Strategic Allocation portfolios.

 

39 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

Each month during the guarantee period we deduct a charge for this rider based on a rate that varies depending on the issue age of the insured person. See Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, page 10. The amount of this charge will be determined by dividing the amount of guaranteed coverage by 1,000 and multiplying the result by the rate set forth in your policy. The amount of guaranteed coverage equals the amount of your total insurance coverage minus your policy value.

You should consider the following factors when deciding whether to add the Lifetime Death Benefit Guarantee Rider to your policy:

  • This rider is available for issue ages 25-75;

  • You may add this rider only when you apply for the base policy;

  • The lifetime death benefit guarantee period begins on the policy date;

  • The minimum premium required to keep this rider in effect will be set forth in your policy and will be based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person's gender, risk class and age;

  • If your policy benefits change, minimum premium for this rider will also change;

  • Transfers between investment options which are made in response to our notice to you that your policy is not sufficiently diversified will not count as transfers for purposes of any limits or restrictions on transfers which we may impose (see Transfers, page 45);

  • This rider covers only your base policy and Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, if any. If your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider are kept in force because of this rider, coverage under all other riders will terminate;

  • This rider cannot be added to a policy with death benefit Option 3 or the 20-year Death Benefit Guarantee Rider;

  • You may terminate this rider at any time during the guarantee period upon written notice to us;

  • A loan may cause the termination of this guarantee because we deduct your loan amount plus accrued interest from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the guarantee in effect; and

  • Even if this rider terminates, your policy will not necessarily lapse (see Lapse, page 50).

We will notify you if on any monthly processing date you have not paid enough premium to keep this rider in force or your policy is not sufficiently diversified. This notice will show the amount of premium required to maintain this rider guarantee and, if applicable, explain the diversification requirement. If we do not receive the required premium payment or you do not adequately diversify your policy by the second monthly processing date following the notice, this rider will terminate. If this rider terminates, it cannot be reinstated.

Waiver of Cost of Insurance Rider. If the insured person becomes totally disabled while your policy is in force, this rider provides that we waive the periodic fees and charges and rider charges during the disability period. The insured person must be no less than age 10 and no more than age 55. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table on page 10 for the minimum rates, maximum rates and the rates for a representative insured person. The cost of this rider is included as part of the monthly cost of insurance charge.

If you add this rider to your policy, you may not add the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. This rider is not available if your policy is issued based on guaranteed issue underwriting.

40 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. If the insured person becomes totally disabled while your policy is in force, this rider provides that after a waiting period, we credit a specified premium amount monthly to your policy during the disability period. Subject to our underwriting, you specify this amount on the application for the policy. The insured person must be no less than age 10 and no more than age 55. The minimum coverage under this rider is $25 per month. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table on page 10 for the minimum rates, maximum rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

 

A policy may contain either the Waiver of Cost of Insurance Rider or the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider, but not both.

Automatic Rider Benefit

The following rider benefit may come with your policy automatically. Exercising this benefit may have tax consequences. See Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, page 55.

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. Under certain circumstances, the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider allows you to accelerate payment of the death benefit that we otherwise would pay upon the insured person's death. Generally, we will provide an accelerated benefit under this rider if the insured person has a terminal illness that will result in his or her death within 12 months, as certified by a physician. The accelerated benefit will be the lesser of 75% of the amount that would be payable at the death of the insured person or $1 million. The accelerated benefit will first be used to pay off any outstanding loans and interest due. The remainder of the accelerated benefit will be paid to you in a lump sum. There is no charge for this rider.

Consider the following factors when deciding whether to accelerate the death benefit under this rider:

  • Receipt of an accelerated payment under this rider reduces the policy's death benefit, surrender value and rider benefits by the percentage of eligible coverage that is accelerated. For example, if the accelerated payment is 75% of the eligible coverage, the new death benefit will be 25% of the death benefit proceeds just prior to acceleration;

  • Accelerating the death benefit will not affect the amount of premium payable on the policy;

  • No loans are permitted after this rider is exercised; and

  • There may be tax consequences to requesting payment under this rider, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser for further information.

Certain limitations and restrictions are described in the rider. Additionally, the benefit may vary by state. You should consult your agent/registered representative as to whether and to what extent the rider is available in your particular state and on any particular policy.

In the policy the "policy value" is referred to as the "Account Value"; the "fixed account value" is referred to as the "Account Value of the Guaranteed Interest Division"; the "variable account value" is referred to as the "Account Value of the Investment Options of the Separate Account"; and the "loan account value" is referred to as the "Account Value of the Loan Division."

 

Policy Value

Your policy value equals the sum of your fixed account, variable account and loan account values. Your policy value reflects:

  • The net premium applied to your policy;

  • The fees and charges that we deduct;

  • Any partial withdrawals you take;

  • Interest earned on amounts allocated to the fixed account;

  • The investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account; and

  • Interest earned on amounts held in the loan account.

Fixed Account Value

Your fixed account value equals the net premium you allocate to the fixed account, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your policy value. See The Fixed Account, page 18.

Variable Account Value

Your variable account value equals your policy value attributable to amounts invested in the subaccounts of the variable account.

Determining Values in the Subaccounts. The value of the amount invested in each subaccount is measured by accumulation units and accumulation unit values. The value of each subaccount is the accumulation unit value for that subaccount multiplied by the number of accumulation units you own in that subaccount. Each subaccount has a different accumulation unit value.

The accumulation unit value is the value determined on each valuation date. The accumulation unit value of each subaccount varies with the investment performance of its underlying fund. It reflects:

  • Investment income;

  • Realized and unrealized gains and losses;

  • Fund expenses; and

  • Taxes, if any.

A valuation date is a date on which a fund values its shares and the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, except for days on which valuations are suspended by the SEC. Each valuation date ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. We reserve the right to revise the definition of valuation date as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

You purchase accumulation units when you allocate premium or make transfers to a subaccount, including transfers from the loan account.



42 - Asset Accumulator




 

We redeem accumulation units:

 

  • When amounts are transferred from a subaccount (including transfers to the loan account);

  • For the monthly deduction of the periodic fees and charges from your policy value;

  • For policy transaction fees (including fund redemption fees, if any);

  • When you take a partial withdrawal;

  • If you surrender your policy; and

  • To pay the death benefit proceeds.

To calculate the number of accumulation units purchased or sold we divide the dollar amount of your transaction by the accumulation unit value for the subaccount calculated at the close of business on the valuation date of the transaction.

The date of a transaction is the date we receive your premium or transaction request at our customer service center, so long as the date of receipt is a valuation date. We use the accumulation unit value which is next calculated after we receive your premium or transaction request and we use the number of accumulation units attributable to your policy on the date of receipt.

We deduct the periodic fees and charges each month from your policy value on the monthly processing date. If your monthly processing date is not a valuation date, the monthly deduction is processed on the next valuation date.

The value of amounts allocated to the subaccounts goes up or down depending on investment performance of the corresponding funds. There is no guaranteed minimum value of amounts invested in the subaccounts of the variable account.

How We Calculate Accumulation Unit Values. We determine the accumulation unit value for each subaccount on each valuation date.

We generally set the accumulation unit value for a subaccount at $10 when the subaccount is first opened. After that, the accumulation unit value on any valuation date is:

  • The accumulation unit value for the preceding valuation date, multiplied by

  • The subaccount's accumulation experience factor for the valuation period.

Every valuation period begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on a valuation date and ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next valuation date. We reserve the right to revise the definition of valuation period as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

We calculate an accumulation experience factor for each subaccount every valuation date as follows:

  • We take the net asset value of the underlying fund shares as reported to us by the fund managers as of the close of business on that valuation date;

  • We add dividends or capital gain distributions declared and reinvested by the fund during the current valuation period;

  • We subtract a charge for taxes, if applicable; and

  • We divide the resulting amount by the net asset value of the shares of the underlying fund at the close of business on the previous valuation date.

Loan Account Value

In the policy the "loan account" is referred to as the "Loan Division."

 

When you take a loan from your policy we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the loan account as collateral for your loan. The loan account is part of our general account and we credit interest to the amount held in the loan account. Your loan account value is equal to your outstanding loan amount plus accrued interest in the loan account. See Loans, page 44.

 

Special Features and Benefits

Loans

You may borrow money from us at any time after the first policy month, by using your policy as collateral for the loan. Unless state law requires otherwise, a new loan amount must be at least $100 and the maximum amount you may borrow is limited to the surrender value of your policy minus the monthly periodic fees and charges to your next policy anniversary or the monthly periodic fees and charges for the next thirteen months if you take a loan within thirty days before your next policy anniversary.

Your loan request must be directed to our customer service center. When you request a loan you may specify the investment options from which the loan collateral will be taken. If you do not specify the investment options, the loan collateral will be taken proportionately from each active investment option you have, including the fixed account.

If you request an additional loan, we add the new loan amount to your existing loan. This way, there is only one loan outstanding on your policy at any time.

Loan Interest. We credit amounts held in the loan account with interest at an annual rate of 3.00%. Interest which we credit to the loan account becomes part of your loan account value until the next policy anniversary when it is transferred to the investment options according to your most recent allocation instructions.

We also charge interest on loans you take. The annual interest rate charged is 3.75% in policy years one through five and currently 3.00% in all years thereafter. Loans with this reduced interest rate are called preferred loans. Interest accrues daily but is due in arrears on each policy anniversary. If you do not pay the interest when it is due, we add it to your loan amount.

Loan Repayment. You may repay your loan at any time. We assume that payments you make, other than scheduled premium payments, are loan repayments. You must tell us if you want unscheduled payments to be premium payments.

When you make a loan repayment, we transfer an amount equal to your payment from the loan account to the subaccounts and fixed account in the same proportion as your current premium allocation, unless you tell us otherwise.




44 - Asset Accumulator




 

Effects of a Loan. Using your policy as collateral for a loan will affect your policy in various ways. You should carefully consider the following before taking a loan:

 

  • If you do not make loan repayments your policy could lapse if your loan amount plus accrued interest is greater than your policy value, less any surrender charges;

  • A loan may cause the termination of the death benefit guarantees because we deduct your loan amount plus accrued loan interest from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the death benefit guarantees in effect;

  • Taking a loan reduces your opportunity to participate in the investment performance of the subaccounts and the interest guarantees of the fixed account;

  • Accruing loan interest will change your policy value as compared to what it would have been if you did not take a loan;

  • Even if you repay your loan, it will have a permanent effect on your policy value;

  • If you use the continuation of coverage feature and you have a loan, loan interest continues to accrue and could cause your policy to lapse;

  • If you do not repay your loan we will deduct any outstanding loan amount plus accrued loan interest from amounts payable under the policy; and

  • Loans may have tax consequences and if your policy lapses with a loan outstanding, you may have further tax consequences. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 53.

Transfers

You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers of your variable account value between the subaccounts and to the fixed account. Transfers are subject to any conditions, limits or charges (including redemption fees) that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose, including:

  • If your state requires a refund of premium during the free look period, you may not make transfers until after your free look period ends;

  • The minimum amount you may transfer is $100;

  • If the amount remaining in the investment option after a transfer will be less than $100, we will transfer the entire amount; and

  • We may limit the number of transfers or restrict or refuse transfers because of frequent or disruptive transfers, as described below.

Any conditions or limits we impose on transfers between the subaccounts or to the fixed account will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different conditions or limits on third parties acting on behalf of policy owners, such as market timing services.

Transfers from the fixed account to the subaccounts of the variable account may be made only during the first 30 days of each policy year and are limited to the greater of:

  • 25% of your fixed account value at the time of the first such transfer in a policy year;

  • The sum of the amounts transferred and withdrawn from the fixed account during the prior policy year; or

  • $100.

We reserve the right to liberalize these restrictions on transfers from the fixed account, depending on market conditions. Any such liberalization will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different restrictions on third parties acting on behalf of policy owners, such as market timing services.

We process all transfers and determine all values in connection with transfers on the valuation date we receive your request, except as described below for the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs.

45 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

Dollar Cost Averaging. Anytime you have at least $10,000 invested in a subaccount which invests in the ING Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio or the Neuberger Berman AMT Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio (the "source subaccount"), you may elect dollar cost averaging. There is no charge for this feature.

Dollar cost averaging is a long-term investment program through which you direct us to automatically transfer at regular intervals a specific dollar amount or percentage of subaccount value from the source subaccount to one or more of the other subaccounts. We do not permit transfers to the fixed account or the loan account under this program. You may request that the dollar cost averaging transfers occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

This systematic plan of transferring policy values is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund's shares is high. It also helps reduce the risk of investing too little when the price of a fund's shares is low. Because you transfer the same dollar amount to the subaccounts each period, you purchase more units when the unit value is low and you purchase fewer units when the unit value is high.

You may add dollar cost averaging to your policy at any time. The first dollar cost averaging date must be at least one day after we receive your dollar cost averaging request. If your state requires a refund of all premium received during the free look period, dollar cost averaging begins after the end of your free look period.

You may have both dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing at the same time. However, your dollar cost averaging source subaccount cannot be included in your automatic rebalancing program.

Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

You may discontinue your dollar cost averaging program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and dollar cost averaging will automatically terminate on:

  • The date you specify;

  • The date your balance in the source subaccount reaches a dollar amount you set;

  • The date your balance in the source subaccount is equal to or less than the amount to be transferred. In this situation we will transfer the entire balance of the source subaccount to the other subaccounts you have selected; or

  • Any date when dollar cost averaging transfers are scheduled and the policy is in the grace period.

Automatic Rebalancing. Automatic rebalancing is a program for simplifying the process of asset allocation and maintaining a consistent allocation of your variable and fixed account values among your chosen investment options. There is no charge for this feature.

If you elect automatic rebalancing, we periodically transfer amounts among the investment options to match the asset allocation percentages you have chosen. This action rebalances the amounts in the investment options that do not match your set allocation percentages. This mismatch can happen if an investment option outperforms another investment option over the time period between automatic rebalancing transfers.

Automatic rebalancing may occur on the same day of the month on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. If you do not specify a frequency, automatic rebalancing will occur quarterly.

46 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

The first transfer occurs on the date you select (after your free look period if your state requires return of premium during the free look period). If you do not request a date, processing is on the last valuation date of the calendar quarter in which we receive your request.

 

You may have both automatic rebalancing and dollar cost averaging at the same time. However, the source subaccount for your dollar cost averaging program cannot be included in your automatic rebalancing program. You may not include the loan account.

Automatic rebalancing does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

You may change your allocation percentages for automatic rebalancing at any time. Your allocation change is effective on the valuation date that we receive it at our customer service center. If you reduce the amount allocated to the fixed account, it is considered a transfer from that account. You must meet the requirements for the maximum transfer amount and time limitations on transfers from the fixed account.

If you have a death benefit guarantee and you ask for an automatic rebalancing allocation which does not meet the death benefit guarantee diversification requirements, we will notify you and ask you for revised instructions. If you have a death benefit guarantee and you terminate automatic rebalancing, you still must meet the diversification requirements for the guarantee period to continue. See Death Benefit Guarantees, page 36.

You may discontinue your automatic rebalancing program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and automatic rebalancing will automatically terminate if the policy is in the grace period on any date when automatic rebalancing transfers are scheduled.

Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers. The policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt management of a fund and raise its expenses through:

  • Increased trading and transaction costs;

  • Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;

  • Lost opportunity costs; and

  • Large asset swings that decrease the fund's ability to provide maximum investment return to all policy owners.

This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase the policy.

We monitor transfer activity. If an individual's or organization's transfer activity (1) exceeds our then-current monitoring standard for excessive trading, (2) is identified as problematic by an underlying fund (even if the activity does not exceed our monitoring standard for excessive trading), or (3) is determined, in our sole discretion, to be not in the best interests of other policy owners we will take the following actions to deter such transfer activity. Upon the first violation, we will send a one time warning letter. A second violation will result in the suspension of transfer privileges via facsimile, telephone, email and internet, and transfer privileges will be limited to submission by regular U.S. mail for a period of six months. At the end of that period, electronic transfer privileges will be reinstated. If there is another violation after electronic transfer privileges have been reinstated, we will suspend such privileges permanently. We will notify you in wri ting if we take any of these actions.


47 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Additionally, if such transfer activity is initiated by a market-timing organization or an individual or other party authorized to give transfer instructions on behalf of multiple policy owners, we will also take the following actions, without prior notice:

  • Not accept transfer instructions from an agent acting on behalf of more than one policy owner; and

  • Not accept preauthorized transfer forms from market timers or other entities acting on behalf of more than one policy owner at a time.

Our current definition of excessive trading is more than one purchase and sale of the same underlying fund within a 30-day period. We do not count transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs (including reoccurring rebalancing transactions under corporate owned policies) and transfers involving certain de minimis amounts when determining whether transfer activity is excessive. We reserve the right to modify our excessive trading policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of policy owners and fund investors and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all policy owners or, as applicable, to all policy owners investing in the underlying fund.

In addition, if an individual's or organization's transfer activity is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive due to the excessive dollar amounts involved, even though the transfer activity may not fall within our then current definition of excessive trading, we will take the same actions as are described above to limit frequent transfers.

The company does not allow exceptions to our excessive trading policy. Our excessive trading policy may not be completely successful in preventing market timing or excessive trading activity. If it is not completely successful, fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted above.

Limits Imposed by the Funds. Orders for the purchase of fund shares may be subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right to reject, without prior notice, any allocation of a premium payment to a subaccount if the subaccount's investment in its corresponding fund is not accepted by the fund for any reason.

Conversion to a Guaranteed Policy. During the first two policy years you may permanently convert your policy to a guaranteed policy, unless state law requires differently. If you elect to make this change, unless state law requires that we issue to you a new guaranteed policy, we will permanently transfer the amounts you have invested in the subaccounts of the variable account to the fixed account and allocate all future net premium to the fixed account. After you exercise this right you may not allocate future premium payments or make transfers to the subaccounts of the variable account. We do not charge for this change. Contact our customer service center or your agent/registered representative for information about the conversion rights available in your state.

Partial Withdrawals

Beginning in the second policy year (or the first policy year for "in corridor" policies) you may withdraw part of your policy's surrender value. Twelve partial withdrawals are currently allowed each policy year, and a partial withdrawal must be at least $100. The maximum partial withdrawal you may take is the amount which leaves $500 as your surrender value (or for in corridor policies during the first policy year, the amount that would cause your policy to no longer qualify as "in corridor"). If your withdrawal request is for more than the maximum, we will require you to surrender your policy or reduce the amount of the withdrawal.

48 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

A policy is "in corridor" if:

 

  • Under death benefit Option 1, your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A is greater than the amount of your base insurance coverage;

  • Under death benefit Option 2, your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A is greater than your base insurance coverage plus your policy value; or

  • Under death benefit Option 3, your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A is greater than your base insurance coverage plus the sum of your premium payments minus partial withdrawals.

We charge a partial withdrawal fee of $10 for each partial withdrawal. See Partial Withdrawal Fee, page 25.

Unless you specify a different allocation, we will take partial withdrawals from the fixed account and the subaccounts of the variable account in the same proportion that your value in each has to your net policy value immediately before the withdrawal. We will determine these proportions at the end of the valuation period during which we receive your partial withdrawal request. However, amounts withdrawn from the fixed account may not exceed the amount of the total withdrawal multiplied by the ratio of your policy value in the fixed account to your net policy value immediately before the partial withdrawal.

Effects of a Partial Withdrawal. We will reduce your policy value by the amount of the partial withdrawal plus the partial withdrawal fee. Your policy value may also be reduced by the amount of a surrender charge if you take a partial withdrawal which decreases your base insurance coverage.

A partial withdrawal may also cause the termination of the death benefit guarantee because we deduct the amount of the partial withdrawal from the total premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums in order to maintain the death benefit guarantee.

The amount of your base insurance coverage is not reduced by the amount of a partial withdrawal when the base death benefit has been increased to qualify your policy as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code and the amount withdrawn is not greater than that which reduces your policy value to the level which no longer requires that the base death benefit be increased for Internal Revenue Code purposes. Otherwise, depending upon the death benefit option in effect, a partial withdrawal may reduce the amount of your base insurance coverage.

Under death benefit Option 1, a partial withdrawal will reduce the amount of your base insurance coverage by the amount of the partial withdrawal.

Under death benefit Option 2, a partial withdrawal will not reduce the amount of your base insurance coverage.

Under death benefit Option 3, a partial withdrawal will reduce the amount of your base insurance coverage by the amount of a partial withdrawal in excess of the total premium we have received from you minus the sum of all your prior partial withdrawals.



49 - Asset Accumulator


 

 

If a partial withdrawal reduces the amount of base insurance coverage, the total amount of insurance coverage will also be reduced for the current year and all future years by an equal amount. Therefore, a partial withdrawal can affect the amount of pure insurance protection under the policy.

We will not allow a partial withdrawal if the amount of total insurance coverage after the withdrawal would be less than $100,000 ($50,000 for guaranteed issue policies).

A reduction in the amount of base insurance coverage as a result of a partial withdrawal will be pro-rated among the existing coverage segments, unless state law requires otherwise.

A partial withdrawal may have adverse tax consequences depending on the circumstances. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 52.

Termination of Coverage

Your insurance coverage will continue under the policy until you surrender your policy or it lapses.

Surrender

In the policy the "surrender value" is referred to as the "Net Cash Surrender Value."

 

You may surrender your policy for its surrender value at any time after the free look period while the insured person is alive. Your surrender value is your policy value minus any surrender charge and any outstanding loan amount and accrued loan interest.

You may take your surrender value in other than one payment.

 

We compute your surrender value as of the valuation date we receive your written surrender request and policy (or lost policy form) at our customer service center. All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive your surrender request and policy.

If you surrender your policy we may deduct a surrender charge. See Surrender Charge, page 25. Surrender of your policy may have adverse tax consequences. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 53.

Lapse

Your policy will not lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy will continue if on any monthly processing date:

  • A death benefit guarantee is in effect;

  • Your net policy value is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due; or

  • During the continuation of coverage period, your policy value exceeds your outstanding loan amount plus accrued loan interest.


50 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Grace Period. If on a monthly processing date you do not meet any of these conditions, your policy will enter the 61-day grace period during which you must make a sufficient premium payment to avoid having your policy lapse and insurance coverage terminate.

 

We will notify you that your policy is in a grace period at least 30 days before it ends. We will send this notice to you (or a person to whom you have assigned your policy) at your last known address in our records. We will notify you of the premium payment necessary to prevent your policy from lapsing. This amount generally equals the past due charges, plus the estimated periodic fees and charges and charges of any optional rider benefits for the next two months. If we receive payment of the required amount before the end of the grace period, we apply it to your policy in the same manner as your other premium payments, then we deduct the overdue amounts from your policy value.

If you do not pay the full amount within the 61-day grace period, your policy and its riders lapse without value. We withdraw your remaining variable and fixed account values, deduct amounts you owe us and inform you that your coverage has ended.

If the insured person dies during the grace period we pay death benefit proceeds to your beneficiaries with reductions for your outstanding loan amount, accrued loan interest and periodic fees and charges owed.

During the early policy years your net policy value may not be enough to cover the periodic fees and charges due each month, and you may need to pay sufficient premium to keep the death benefit guarantee in force. See Premium Payments, page 22.

If your policy lapses, any distribution of policy value may be subject to current taxation. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 53.

Reinstatement

Reinstatement means putting a lapsed policy back in force. You may reinstate a lapsed policy and its riders (other than a death benefit guarantee) by written request any time within five years after it has lapsed. A policy that was surrendered may not be reinstated.

To reinstate the policy and any riders, you must submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and pay a premium large enough to keep the policy and any rider benefits in force during the grace period and for at least two months after reinstatement. When we reinstate your policy, we reinstate the surrender charges for the amount and time remaining when your coverage lapsed. If you had a loan existing when coverage lapsed, we will reinstate it with accrued loan interest to the date of the lapse.

A policy that lapses during a seven pay testing period and is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing will be classified as a modified endowment contract for tax purposes. In general, a seven pay testing period is the first seven policy years and the first seven years after certain changes to your policy. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser to determine whether reinstating a lapsed policy will cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 54.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary provides a general description of the federal income tax considerations associated with the policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover federal estate, gift and generation-skipping tax implications, state and local taxes or other tax situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice. Counsel or other qualified tax advisers should be consulted for more complete information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present federal income tax laws. No representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of the present federal income tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").

The following discussion generally assumes that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.

Tax Status of the Company

We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. The variable account is not a separate entity from us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a "regulated investment company," but is taxed as part of the company. We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the separate account to increase reserves under the policy. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will not be taxed to us. In addition, any foreign tax credits attributable to the separate account will first be used to reduce any income taxes imposed on the variable account before being used by the company.

In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the variable account and we do not intend to make provisions for any such taxes. However, if changes in the federal tax laws or their interpretation result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the variable account, then we may impose a charge against the variable account (with respect to some or all of the policies) to set aside provisions to pay such taxes.

Tax Status of the Policy

This policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code. All terms and provisions of the policy shall be construed in a manner which is consistent with that design. In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a policy must satisfy certain requirements which are set forth in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, the policy must meet the requirements of either the cash value accumulation test or the guideline premium test. See Death Benefit Qualification Tests, page 33. If your variable life policy does not satisfy one of these two alternate tests, it will not be treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. While there is very little guidance as to how these requirements are applie d, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that our policies satisfy the applicable requirements. If it is subsequently determined that a policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring the policy into compliance with such requirements and we reserve the right to restrict policy transactions or modify your policy in order to do so. See Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits, page 53.

52 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Diversification and Investor Control Requirements

 

In addition to meeting the Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 tests, Internal Revenue Code Section 817(h) requires separate account investments, such as our variable account, to be adequately diversified. The Treasury has issued regulations which set the standards for measuring the adequacy of any diversification. To be adequately diversified, each subaccount must meet certain tests. If your variable life policy is not adequately diversified under these regulations, it is not treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. Each subaccount's corresponding fund has represented that it will meet the diversification standards that apply to your policy. Accordingly, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that the diversification requirements have been satisfied. If it is determined that your variable life policy does not satisfy the applicable diversification regulations, we w ill take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring your policy into compliance with such regulations and we reserve the right to modify your policy as necessary in order to do so.

In certain circumstances, owners of a variable life insurance policy have been considered, for federal income tax purposes, to be the owners of the assets of the separate account supporting their policies, due to their ability to exercise investment control over such assets. When this is the case, the policy owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the separate account assets. Your ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in some ways from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it determined that policy owners are not owners of separate account assets. For example, you have additional flexibility in allocating your premium payments and your policy values. These differences could result in the IRS treating you as the owner of a pro rata share of the variable account assets. We do not know what standards will be set forth in the future, if any, in Treasury regulations or rulings. We reserve the right to modify your poli cy, as necessary, to try to prevent you from being considered the owner of a pro rata share of the variable account assets, or to otherwise qualify your policy for favorable tax treatment.

Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits

The death benefit, or an accelerated death benefit, under a policy is generally excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary(ies) under Section 101(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, there are exceptions to this general rule. Additionally, federal and local transfer, estate, inheritance and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary(ies). A qualified tax adviser should be consulted about these consequences.

Distributions Other than Death Benefits

Generally, the policy owner will not be taxed on any of the policy value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a policy occur, or when loan amounts are taken from or secured by a policy, the tax consequences depend on whether or not the policy is a "modified endowment contract."

53 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

Modified Endowment Contracts

Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified as "modified endowment contracts" and are given less favorable tax treatment than other life insurance contracts. Due to the flexibility of the policies as to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each policy will determine whether or not it is classified as a modified endowment contract. The rules are too complex to be summarized here, but generally depend on the amount of premiums we receive during the first seven policy years. Certain changes in a policy after it is issued, such as reduction or increase in benefits or policy reinstatement, could also cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract. A current or prospective policy owner should consult with a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not a policy transaction will cause the policy to be classified as a modified endowment contract.

If a policy becomes a modified endowment contract, distributions that occur during the policy year will be taxed as distributions from a modified endowment contract. In addition, distributions from a policy within two years before it becomes a modified endowment contract will be taxed in this manner. This means that a distribution made from a policy that is not a modified endowment contract could later become taxable as a distribution from a modified endowment contract.

Additionally, all modified endowment contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same policy owner during any calendar year are treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in the policy owner's income when a taxable distribution occurs.

Once a policy is classified as a modified endowment contract, the following tax rules apply both prospectively and to any distributions made in the prior two years:

  • All distributions other than death benefits, including distributions upon surrender and withdrawals, from a modified endowment contract will be treated first as distributions of gain, if any, taxable as ordinary income. Amounts will be treated as tax-free recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed. The amount of gain in the policy will be equal to the difference between the policy's value and the investment in the policy;

  • Loan amounts taken from or secured by a policy classified as a modified endowment contract, and also assignments or pledges of such a policy (or agreements to assign or pledge such a policy), are treated as distributions and taxed first as distributions of gain, if any, taxable as ordinary income and as tax-free recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed; and

  • A 10% additional income tax penalty may be imposed on the distribution amount subject to income tax. This tax penalty generally does not apply to distributions (a) made on or after the date on which the taxpayer attains age 59 ½; (b) which are attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code); or (c) which are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary. Consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not you may be subject to this penalty tax.

Policies That Are Not Modified Endowment Contracts

 

Distributions other than death benefits from a policy that is not classified as a modified endowment contract are generally treated first as a recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy. Only after the recovery of all investment in the policy is there taxable income. However, certain distributions made in connection with policy benefit reductions during the first 15 policy years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax. Consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not any distributions made in connection with a reduction in policy benefits will be subject to tax.

Loan amounts from or secured by a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are generally not taxed as distributions. However, the tax consequences of such a loan that is outstanding after policy year five are uncertain and a qualified tax adviser should be consulted about such loans. Finally, neither distributions from, nor loan amounts from or secured by, a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are subject to the 10% additional income tax.

Investment in the Policy

Your investment in the policy is generally the total of your aggregate premiums. When a distribution is taken from the policy, your investment in the policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax free.

Other Tax Matters

Policy Loans

In general, interest on a policy loan will not be deductible. A limited exception to this rule exists for certain interest paid in connection with certain "key person" insurance. You should consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether you qualify under this exception.

Moreover, the tax consequences associated with a preferred loan (loans where the interest rate charged is less than or equal to the interest rate credited) available in the policy are uncertain. Before taking out a policy loan, you should consult a qualified tax adviser as to the tax consequences.

If a loan from a policy is outstanding when the policy is surrendered or lapses, then the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be added to the amount treated as a distribution from the policy and will be taxed accordingly.

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider

We believe that payments under the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider should be fully excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary if the beneficiary is the insured under the policy, or is an individual who has no business or financial connection with the insured. (See Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, page 41, for more information about this rider.) However, you should consult a qualified tax adviser about the consequences of adding this rider to a policy or requesting payment under this rider.



55 - Asset Accumulator



 

 

Continuation of a Policy

The tax consequences of continuing the policy after the insured person reaches age 100 are unclear. For example, in certain situations it is possible that after the insured person reaches age 100 the IRS could treat you as being in constructive receipt of the policy value if the policy value becomes equal to the death benefit. If this happens, an amount equal to the excess of the policy value over the investment in the policy would be includible in your income at that time. Because we believe the policy will continue to constitute life insurance at that time and the IRS has not issued any guidance on this issue, we do not intend to tax report any earnings due to the possibility of constructive receipt in this circumstance. You should consult a qualified tax adviser if you intend to keep the policy in force after the insured person reaches age 100.

Section 1035 Exchanges

Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 provides, in certain circumstances, that no gain or loss will be recognized on the exchange of one life insurance policy solely for another life insurance policy or an endowment or annuity contract. We accept 1035 exchanges with outstanding loans. Special rules and procedures apply to 1035 exchanges. These rules can be complex, and if you wish to take advantage of Section 1035, you should consult your qualified tax adviser.

Tax-exempt Policy Owners

Special rules may apply to a policy that is owned by a tax-exempt entity. Tax-exempt entities should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the consequences of purchasing and owning a policy. These consequences could include an effect on the tax-exempt status of the entity and the possibility of the unrelated business income tax.

Tax Law Changes

Although the likelihood of legislative action is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or otherwise. You should consult a qualified tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

Policy Changes to Comply with the Law

So that your policy continues to qualify as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code, we reserve the right to refuse to accept all or part of your premium payments or to change your death benefit. We may refuse to allow you to make partial withdrawals that would cause your policy to fail to qualify as life insurance. We also may make changes to your policy or its riders or make distributions from your policy to the degree that we deem necessary to qualify your policy as life insurance for tax purposes.

If we make any change of this type, it applies the same way to all affected policies.

Any increase in your death benefit will cause an increase in your cost of insurance charges.

Policy Availability and Qualified Plans

 

Policy owners may use the policy in various other arrangements, including:

  • Certain qualified plans;

  • Non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans;

  • Split dollar insurance plans;

  • Executive bonus plans;

  • Retiree medical benefit plans; and

  • Other plans.

The tax consequences of these plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each arrangement. If you want to use your policy with any of these various arrangements, you should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the tax issues of your particular arrangement.

Life Insurance Owned by Businesses

In recent years, Congress has adopted new rules relating to life insurance owned by businesses. For example, in the case of a policy issued to a nonnatural taxpayer, or held for the benefit of such an entity, a portion of the taxpayer's otherwise deductible interest expenses may not be deductible as a result of ownership of a policy even if no loans are taken under the policy. (An exception to this rule is provided for certain life insurance contracts which cover the life of an individual who is a 20% owner, or an officer, director, or employee of a trade or business.) As another example, special rules apply if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new policy or a change in an existing policy should consult a qualified tax adviser.

Income Tax Withholding

The IRS requires us to withhold income taxes from any portion of the amounts individuals receive in a taxable transaction. We generally do not withhold income taxes if you elect in writing not to have withholding apply. If the amount withheld for you is insufficient to cover income taxes, you will have to pay income taxes and possibly penalties later.

Policy Transfers

The transfer of the policy or designation of a beneficiary may have federal, state and/or local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes. The individual situation of each policy owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which federal, state and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes.

You should consult qualified legal or tax advisers for complete information on federal, state, local and other tax considerations.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

General Policy Provisions

Your Policy

The policy is a contract between you and us and is the combination of:

  • Your policy;

  • A copy of your original application and applications for benefit increases or decreases;

  • Your riders;

  • Your endorsements;

  • Your policy schedule pages; and

  • Your reinstatement applications.

If you make a change to your coverage, we give you a copy of your changed application and new policy schedules. If you send your policy to us, we attach these items to your policy and return it to you. Otherwise, you need to attach them to your policy.

Unless there is fraud, we consider all statements made in an application to be representations and not guarantees. We use no statement to deny a claim, unless it is in an application.

A president or other officer of our company and our secretary or assistant secretary must sign all changes or amendments to your policy. No other person may change its terms or conditions.

Guaranteed Issue

We may offer policies on a guaranteed issue basis for certain individuals, groups or sponsored arrangements. We issue these policies up to a preset face amount with reduced evidence of insurability. Guaranteed issue policies carry a different mortality risk compared with policies that are fully underwritten, and we may charge different cost of insurance rates for guaranteed issue policies. The cost of insurance rates under these circumstances may depend on the:

  • Issue age of the insured person; and

  • Risk class of the insured person.

Generally, most guaranteed issue policies have higher overall charges for insurance than similar underwritten policies issued in the standard rate classes. This means that an insured person in a group or sponsored arrangement could get individual or fully underwritten insurance coverage at a lower overall cost.

Age

We issue your policy at the insured person's age (stated in your policy schedule) based on the nearest birthday to the policy date. On the policy date, the insured person can generally be no more than age 85 (age 70 for guaranteed issue policies).

We often use age to calculate rates, charges and values. We determine the insured person's age at a given time by adding the number of completed policy years to the age calculated at issue and shown in the schedule.

58 - Asset Accumulator


 

Ownership

 

The original owner is the person named as the owner in the policy application. The owner can exercise all rights and receive benefits during the life of the insured person. These rights include the right to change the owner, beneficiaries or the method designated to pay death benefit proceeds.

As a matter of law, all rights of ownership are limited by the rights of any person who has been assigned rights under the policy and any irrevocable beneficiaries.

You may name a new owner by giving us written notice. The effective date of the change to the new owner is the date the prior owner signs the notice. However, we will not be liable for any action we take before a change is recorded at our customer service center. A change in ownership may cause the prior owner to recognize taxable income on gain under the policy.

Beneficiaries

You, as owner, name the beneficiaries when you apply for your policy. The primary beneficiaries who survive the insured person receive the death benefit proceeds. Other surviving beneficiaries receive death benefit proceeds only if there are no surviving primary beneficiaries. If more than one beneficiary survives the insured person, they share the death benefit proceeds equally, unless you specify otherwise. If none of your policy beneficiaries has survived the insured person, we pay the death benefit proceeds to you or to your estate, as owner.

You may name new beneficiaries during the insured person's lifetime. We pay death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries whom you have most recently named according to our records. We do not make payments to multiple sets of beneficiaries. The designation of certain beneficiaries may have tax consequences. See Other Tax Matters, page 55.

Collateral Assignment

You may assign your policy by sending written notice to us. After we record the assignment, your rights as owner and the beneficiaries' rights (unless the beneficiaries were made irrevocable beneficiaries under an earlier assignment) are subject to the assignment. It is your responsibility to make sure the assignment is valid. The transfer or assignment of a policy may have tax consequences. See Other Tax Matters, page 55.

Incontestability

After your policy has been in force and the insured person is alive for two years from the policy date and from the effective date of any new coverage segment, an increase in any other benefit or reinstatement, we will not question the validity of statements in your applicable application.

Misstatements of Age or Gender

Notwithstanding the Incontestability provision above, if the insured person's age or gender has been misstated, we adjust the death benefit to the amount which would have been purchased for the insured person's correct age and gender. We base the adjusted death benefit on the cost of insurance charges deducted from your policy value on the last monthly processing date before the insured person's death, or as otherwise required by law.

If unisex cost of insurance rates apply, we do not make any adjustments for a misstatement of gender.

59 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

Suicide

If the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane), within two years of your policy date, unless otherwise required by law, we limit death benefit proceeds to:

  • The total premium we receive to the time of death; minus

  • Outstanding loan account value plus accrued loan interest; minus

  • Partial withdrawals taken.

We make a limited payment to the beneficiaries for a new coverage segment or other increase if the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane), within two years of the effective date of a new coverage segment or within two years of an increase in any other benefit, unless otherwise required by law. The limited payment is equal to the cost of insurance and periodic fees and charges which were deducted for the increase.

Anti-Money Laundering

In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with certain procedures and standards that serve to assure that our customers' identities are properly verified and that premiums are not derived from improper sources.

Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require policy owners, insured persons and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing information databases maintained internally or by outside firms.

We may also refuse to accept certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (traveler's cheques, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (money orders totaling more than $5,000, for example). In addition, we may require information as to why a particular form of payment was used (third party checks, for example) and the source of the funds of such payment in order to determine whether or not we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may result in us returning the payment to you and your policy either entering the 61-day grace period or lapsing. See Lapse, page 50. See also Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage, page 23.

Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes applicable in laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity.

Transaction Processing

Generally, within seven days of when we receive all information required to process a payment, we pay:

  • Death benefit proceeds;

  • Surrender value;

  • Partial withdrawals; and

  • Loan proceeds.


60 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

We may delay processing these transactions if:

 

  • The New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading;

  • Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted by the SEC;

  • There is an emergency so that it is not reasonably possible to sell securities in the subaccounts or to determine the value of a subaccount's assets; and

  • A governmental body with jurisdiction over the variable account allows suspension by its order.

SEC rules and regulations generally determine whether or not these conditions exist.

We execute transfers among the subaccounts as of the valuation date of our receipt of your request at our customer service center.

We determine the death benefit as of the date of the insured person's death. The death benefit proceeds are not affected by subsequent changes in the value of the subaccounts.

We may delay payment from our fixed account for up to six months, unless law requires otherwise, of surrender proceeds, withdrawal amounts or loan amounts. If we delay payment more than 30 days, we pay interest at our declared rate (or at a higher rate if required by law) from the date we receive your complete request.

Notification and Claims Procedures

Except for certain authorized telephone requests, we must receive in writing any election, designation, change, assignment or request made by the owner.

You must use a form acceptable to us. We are not liable for actions taken before we receive and record the written notice. We may require you to return your policy for changes to your policy or if you surrender it.

If the insured person dies while your policy is in force, please let us know as soon as possible. We will send you instructions on how to make a claim. As proof of the insured person's death, we may require proof of the deceased insured person's age and a certified copy of the death certificate.

The beneficiaries and the deceased insured person's next of kin may need to sign authorization forms. These forms allow us to get information such as medical records of doctors and hospitals used by the deceased insured person.

Telephone Privileges

Telephone privileges are automatically provided to you and your agent/registered representative, unless you decline it on the application or contact our customer service center. Telephone privileges allow you or your agent/registered representative to call our customer service center to:

  • Make transfers;

  • Change premium allocations;

  • Change your dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing programs;

  • Request partial withdrawals; and

  • Request a loan.

Our customer service center uses reasonable procedures to make sure that instructions received by telephone are genuine. These procedures may include:

  • Requiring some form of personal identification;

  • Providing written confirmation of any transactions; and

  • Tape recording telephone calls.

61 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

By accepting telephone privileges, you authorize us to record your telephone calls with us. If we use reasonable procedures to confirm instructions, we are not liable for losses from unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We may discontinue this privilege at any time. See Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers, page 47.

Telephone and facsimile privileges may not always be available. Telephone or fax systems, whether yours, your service provider's or your agent's, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may prevent or delay our receipt of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your transfer request by written request.

Non-participation

Your policy does not participate in the surplus earnings of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company.

Advertising Practices and Sales Literature

We may use advertisements and sales literature to promote this product, including:

  • Articles on variable life insurance and other information published in business or financial publications;

  • Indices or rankings of investment securities; and

  • Comparisons with other investment vehicles, including tax considerations.

We may use information regarding the past performance of the subaccounts and funds. Past performance is not indicative of future performance of the subaccounts or funds and is not reflective of the actual investment experience of policy owners.

We may feature certain subaccounts, the underlying funds and their managers, as well as describe asset levels and sales volumes. We may refer to past, current, or prospective economic trends, and, investment performance or other information we believe may be of interest to our customers.

Settlement Options

You may elect to take the surrender value in other than one lump-sum payment. Likewise, you may elect to have the beneficiaries receive the death benefit proceeds other than in one lump-sum payment, if you make this election during the insured person's lifetime. If you have not made this election, the beneficiaries may do so within 60 days after we receive proof of the insured person's death.

The investment performance of the subaccounts does not affect payments under these settlement options. Instead, interest accrues at a fixed rate based on the option you choose. Payment options are subject to our rules at the time you make your selection. Currently, a periodic payment must be at least $20 and the total proceeds must be at least $2,000.

62 - Asset Accumulator

 

 

 

The following settlement options are available:

 

  • Option 1 - The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments for a specified period until the proceeds and interest are all paid;

  • Option 2 - The proceeds provide an annuity payment with a specified number of months. The payments are continued for the life of the primary payee. If the primary payee dies before the certain period is over, the remaining payments are paid to a contingent payee;

  • Option 3 - The proceeds are left with us to earn interest. Withdrawals and any changes are subject to our approval;

  • Option 4 - The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments of a specified amount until the proceeds and interest are all paid; and

  • Option 5 - Other options we offer at the time we pay the benefit.

If none of these settlement options have been elected, your surrender value or the death benefit proceeds will be paid in one lump-sum payment.

Unless you request otherwise, death benefit proceeds generally will be paid into an interest bearing account which is backed by our general account and can be accessed by the beneficiary through a checkbook feature. The beneficiary may access the death benefit proceeds at any time without penalty. Interest earned on this account may be less than interest paid on other settlement options. We may also pay your surrender value using this checkbook feature.

Reports

Annual Statement. We will send you an annual statement once each policy year showing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy as well as your policy's death benefit, policy and surrender values, the amount of premiums you have paid, the amounts you have withdrawn, borrowed or transferred and the fees and charges we have imposed since the last statement.

We send semi-annual reports with financial information on the funds, including a list of investment holdings of each fund.

We send confirmation notices to you throughout the year for certain policy transactions such as transfers between investment options, partial withdrawals and loans. You are responsible for reviewing the confirmation notices to verify that the transactions are being made as requested.

Illustrations. To help you better understand how your policy values will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you with a personalized illustration projecting future results based on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, planned premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. We may assess a charge not to exceed $25 for each illustration you request after the first in a policy year. See Excess Illustration Fee, page 26. Subject to regulatory approval, personalized illustrations may be based upon a weighted average rather than an arithmetic average of fund expenses.

Other Reports. We will mail to you at your last known address of record at least annually a report containing such information as may be required by any applicable law. To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses, including reports and prospectuses for the funds, will be mailed to your household, even if you or other persons in your household have more than one policy issued by us or an affiliate. Call our customer service center toll-free at 1-877-253-5050 if you need additional copies of financial reports, prospectuses, historical account information or annual or semi-annual reports or if you would like to receive one copy for each policy in all future mailings.

Distribution of the Policies

The company's affiliate, ING America Equities, Inc., serves as the principal underwriter (distributor) for the policies. ING America Equities, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on September 27, 1993 and is registered as a broker/dealer with the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. We pay ING America Equities, Inc. under a distribution agreement dated May 1, 2002. ING America Equities, Inc.'s principal office is located at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.

ING America Equities, Inc. offers the securities under the policies on a continuous basis. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the aggregate amount of underwriting commissions paid to ING America Equities, Inc. was $29,625,725, $26,860,876 and, $31,443,393, respectively.

We sell our policies through licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers. All broker/dealers who sell this policy have entered into selling agreements with us and ING America Equities, Inc. Under these selling agreements, we pay a distribution allowance to broker/dealers, who in turn pay commissions to their agents/registered representatives who sell this policy.

During the first policy year, we pay a distribution allowance of up to 100% of the target premium we receive. For premium over target we pay less. The distribution allowance we pay is up to 3% of gross premiums received in the second through tenth policy years and lower thereafter.

Additionally, broker/dealers also receive renewal commissions (trail commissions) of up to 0.10% annually of the net policy value on each monthly processing date after the first policy year.

In addition to these distribution allowances/commissions, we may also pay other amounts to broker/dealers and/or their agents/registered representatives. These amounts may include:

  • Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to agents/registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms, such as reduction or elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan, which may be conditioned on insurance sales;

  • Wholesaler fees and marketing allowances based on aggregate commissions paid during the year;

  • Education and training allowances to facilitate our attendance at certain educational and training meetings to provide information and training about our products. We also hold training programs from time to time at our own expense;

  • Sponsor payments or reimbursements for broker/dealers to use in sales contests for their agents/registered representatives. We do not hold contests directly based on sales of this product; and

  • Certain overrides, bonuses and other benefits, which may include cash compensation, based on the amount of earned commissions, agent/representative recruiting, and other activities that promote the sale of policies.

We pay dealer concessions, wholesaling fees, bonuses, overrides, other allowances and benefits and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources which include premium expense charges.

Cash Value Accumulation Test Factors

The cash value accumulation test factors vary depending on the age and gender of the insured person.

Generally, the cash value accumulation test requires that a policy's death benefit must be sufficient so that the policy value does not at any time exceed the net single premium required to fund the policy's future benefits. The net single premium for a policy is calculated using the greater of 4.00% or the rates of interest guaranteed in the Guaranteed Interest Division of the policy and the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and will vary according to the age and gender of the insured person. The factors for the cash value accumulation test are then equal to 1 divided by the net single premium per dollar of paid up whole life insurance for the applicable age and gender.

    We may receive compensation from each of the funds or their 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 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. We may also receive additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services which we provide to the funds or their affiliates or as an incentive for us to make the funds available through the policy. These additional payments are not disclosed in this Fund Expense Table and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fees and expenses above.

    The Fund's advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I shares to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items as discussed in the fund's prospectus) of Series I shares to 1.30% of average daily net assets for each series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds except for AIM V.I. High Yield Fund and to 1.05% of average daily net assets for AIM V.I. High Yield Fund. The expense limitation agreements are in effect through April 30, 2006. Please refer to the fund's prospectus for more detailed information.

       

    3

    Effective January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2009, the Fund's advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fees. The fee waiver reflects this agreement. (See "Fund Management-Advisor Compensation" in the Fund's prospectus.)

       

    4

    Other Expenses includes interest expense of 0.09%.

       

    5

    Effective January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006, the Fund's advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fees. The fee waiver reflects this agreement. (See "Fund Management-Advisor Compensation" in the Fund's prospectus.)

       

    6

    The amounts shown are the estimated operating expenses for Class I shares of each Portfolio as a ratio of expenses to average daily net assets. These estimates are based on each Portfolio's actual operating expenses for its most recently completed fiscal year, as adjusted for contractual changes, if any, and fee waivers to which ING Investments, LLC, the investment adviser to each Portfolio, has agreed for each Portfolio for the current fiscal year.

       

    7

    ING Funds Services, LLC receives an annual administration fee (included in Other Expenses) equal to 0.10% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets. ING Investments, LLC has entered into a written expense limitation agreement with ING Variable Products Trust under which it will limit expenses of the Portfolios, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage and extraordinary expenses, subject to possible recoupment by ING Investments, LLC within three years. The amount of each Portfolio's expenses waived, reimbursed or recouped during the last fiscal year by ING Investments, LLC is shown under the heading Fees and Expenses Waived or Reimbursed. For each Portfolio, the expense limits will continue through at least May 1, 2006. For further information regarding the expense limitation agreements, see the Fund's prospectus.

       

    8

    All of the fees and expense shown were determined based on net assets as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, restated to reflect reductions in the portfolios' management fees effective July 1, 2004. All expenses are shown without the effect of expense offset arrangements.

       

    9

    Because the 12b-1 fee is charged as an ongoing fee, long-term shareholders may pay more than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charges permitted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

       

    10

    The expenses in the table above reflect the contractual expense limitation in effect through May 1, 2006 under which Pioneer has agreed not to impose all or a portion of its management fee and, if necessary, to limit other ordinary operating expenses to the extent required to reduce Class I expenses to 1.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class I shares.

       

    11

    Net effect of expense waivers, brokerage arrangements and custodian fee arrangements to average net assets for the period ended December 31, 2004 was 0.03%. Including these expense waivers and arrangements, the "Total Net Annual Fund Expenses" would have been 1.36%.

       

    12

    Net effect of expense waivers, brokerage arrangements and custodian fee arrangements to average net assets for the period ended December 31, 2004 was 0.25%. Including these expense waivers and arrangements, the "Total Net Annual Fund Expenses" would have been 1.20%.

    Trading - Industry Developments

     

    Regulatory Matters

     

    As with many financial services companies, the company and its affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

     

    Fund Regulatory Issues

     

    Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares, revenue sharing and directed brokerage, compensation, sales practices and suitability, arrangements with service providers, pricing, compliance and controls, and adequacy of disclosure.

     

    In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund regulatory issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

     

    The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain affiliates of the company, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in reports previously filed by affiliates of the company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

     

    An affiliate of the company, ING Funds Distributors, LLC ("IFD") has received notice from the staff of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") that the staff has made a preliminary determination to recommend that disciplinary action be brought against IFD and one of its registered persons for violations of the NASD Conduct Rules and federal securities laws in connection with frequent trading arrangements.

     

     

     

    135953

    April 2005

     

    Other regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Attorney General, are also likely to take some action with respect to certain ING affiliates before concluding their investigation of ING relating to fund trading. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING's U.S.-based operations, including the company.

     

    ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING's internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING's U.S.-based operations, including the company.

     

    Other Regulatory Matters

     

    The New York Attorney General and other regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives, potential conflicts of interest, potential anti-competitive activity, marketing practices, certain financial reinsurance arrangements, and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these investigations will further broaden before the investigations are concluded. U.S. affiliates of ING have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request for information.

     

    These initiatives may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the company is engaged.

     

    In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

    GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the "company," "we," "us," "our") issues the policy described in the prospectus and is responsible for providing each policy's insurance benefits. We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1929 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. ING is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We are engaged in the business of issuing insurance policies. Our headquarters is at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.

    We established the Security Life Separate Account L1 (the "variable account") on November 3, 1993, as one of our separate accounts under the laws of the State of Colorado for the purpose of funding variable life insurance policies issued by us. The variable account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Premium payments may be allocated to one or more of the available sub-accounts of the variable account. Each sub-account invests in shares of a corresponding fund at net asset value. We may make additions to, deletions from or substitutions of available funds as permitted by law and subject to the conditions of the policy.

    Other than the policy owner fees and charges described in the prospectus, all expenses incurred in the operations of the variable account are borne by the company. We do, however, receive compensation for certain recordkeeping, administration or other services from the funds or affiliates of the funds available through the policies. See "Fees and Charges" in the prospectus.

    The company maintains custody of the assets of the variable account. As custodian, the company holds cash balances for the variable account pending investment in the funds or distribution. The funds in whose shares the assets of the sub-accounts of the variable account are invested each have custodians, as discussed in the respective fund prospectuses.

    PERFORMANCE REPORTING AND ADVERTISING

    Information regarding the past, or historical, performance of the sub-accounts of the variable account and the funds available for investment through the sub-accounts of the variable account may appear in advertisements, sales literature or reports to policy owners or prospective purchasers. SUCH PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR THE SUB-ACCOUNTS WILL REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF ALL FUND FEES AND CHARGES, INCLUDING INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES, DISTRIBUTION (12B-1) FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES BUT WILL NOT REFLECT DEDUCTIONS FOR ANY POLICY FEES AND CHARGES. IF THE POLICY'S PREMIUM EXPENSE, COST OF INSURANCE, MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK, POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION, PERIODIC OR OPTIONAL BENEFITS FEES AND CHARGES WERE DEDUCTED, THE PERFORMANCE SHOWN WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER.

    With respect to performance reporting it is important to remember that past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown and actual investment returns and principal values will fluctuate so that shares and/or units, at redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost.











    2

     

    Performance history of the sub-accounts of the variable account and the corresponding funds is measured by comparing the value at the beginning of the period to the value at the end of the period. Performance is usually calculated for periods of one month, three months, year-to-date, one year, three years, five years, ten years (if the fund has been in existence for these periods) and since the inception date of the fund (if the fund has been in existence for less than ten years). We may provide performance information showing average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a sub-account commenced operation. We will calculate such performance information based on the assumption that the sub-accounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the funds, with the level of charges at the variable account level that were in effect at the inception of the sub-accounts. Performance information will be specific to the class of fund shares offered through the policy, however, for periods prior to the date a class of fund shares commenced operations, performance information may be based on a different class of shares of the same fund. In this case, performance for the periods prior to the date a class of fund shares commenced operations will be adjusted by the fund fees and expenses associated with the class of fund shares offered through the policy.

    We may compare performance of the sub-accounts and/or the funds as reported from time to time in advertisements and sales literature to other variable life insurance issuers in general; to the performance of particular types of variable life insurance policies investing in mutual funds; or to investment series of mutual funds with investment objectives similar to each of the sub-accounts, whose performance is reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper") and Morningstar. Inc. ("Morningstar") or reported by other series, companies, individuals or other industry or financial publications of general interest, such as Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Barron's, Kiplinger's and Fortune. Lipper and Morningstar are independent services which monitor and rank the performances of variable life insurance issuers in each of the major categories of investment objectives on an industry-wide basis.

    Lipper's and Morningstar's rankings include variable annuity issuers as well as variable life insurance issuers. The performance analysis prepared by Lipper and Morningstar ranks such issuers on the basis of total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take sales charges, redemption fees or certain expense deductions at the separate account level into consideration. We may also compare the performance of each sub-account in advertising and sales literature to the Standard & Poor's Index of 500 common stocks and the Dow Jones Industrials, which are widely used measures of stock market performance. We may also compare the performance of each sub-account to other widely recognized indices. Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends, but typically do not reflect any "deduction" for the expense of operating or managing an investment portfolio.

    To help you better understand how your policy's death benefits, policy value and surrender value will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we encourage you to obtain a personalized illustration. Personalized illustrations will assume deductions for fund expenses and policy and variable account charges. We will base these illustrations on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. These personalized illustrations will be based on either a hypothetical investment return of the funds of 0% and other percentages not to exceed 12% or on the actual historical experience of the funds as if the sub-accounts had been in existence and a policy issued for the same periods as those indicated for the funds. Subject to regulatory approval, personalized illustrations may be based upon a weighted average of fund expenses rather than an arithmetic average. A personalized illustration is available upon request by contacting our Customer Service Center at P.O. Box 5065, Minot, ND 58702-5065 or by calling 1-877-253-5050.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Account's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004, by correspondence with the transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Divisions of the Security Life of Denver Insurance Company Separate Account L1 at December 31, 2004, and the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the periods disclosed in the financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY

    SEPARATE ACCOUNT L1

    Notes to Financial Statements

       

    1.

    Organization

       
     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company Separate Account L1 (the "Account") was established on November 3, 1993, by Security Life of Denver Insurance Company ("SLD" or the "Company") to support the operations of variable universal life policies ("Policies"). The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings ("ING AIH"), an insurance holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware. ING AIH is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V., a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.

       
     

    The Account supports the operations of the FirstLine Variable Universal Life, FirstLine II Variable Universal Life, Strategic Advantage Variable Universal Life, Strategic Advantage II Variable Universal Life, Variable Survivorship Universal Life, Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life, Strategic Benefits Variable Universal Life, Asset Portfolio Manager Variable Universal Life, and Estate Designer Policies offered by the Company. Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life and Strategic Benefits Variable Universal Life became effective in 2000 and are defined as Class B Policies due to their mortality and expense charge structure. Asset Portfolio Manager Variable Universal Life became effective in 2001 and is also defined as a Class B Policy. All other Policies are defined as Class A Policies.

       
     

    The Account is organized as a unit investment trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Policies allow the Policyholders to specify the allocation of their net premium to the various Funds. They can also transfer their account values among the Funds. The Policies also provide the Policyholders the option to allocate their net premiums, or to transfer their account values, to a guaranteed interest division ("GID") in the Company's general account. The GID guarantees a rate of interest to the Policyholder, and it is not variable in nature. Therefore, it is not included in the Account's statements. The Account may be used to support other variable life policies as the Company offers them. SLD provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Policies by crediting premium payments to one or more divisions within the Account or the GID, as directed by the Policyholders. The portion of the Account's assets applicable to Policies will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business SLD may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of SLD. The assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of SLD.

       
     

    At December 31, 2004, the Account had, 69 investment divisions (the "Divisions") 39 of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 30 of which invest in mutual funds managed by an affiliate, either Direct Services, Inc., ING Investments, LLC, or ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a designated Fund ("Fund") of various investment trusts (the "Trusts").

    Significant Accounting Policies

       
     

    The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:

       
     

    Use of Estimates

       
     

    The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       
     

    Investments

       
     

    Investments are made in shares of a Fund and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective Fund. Investment transactions in each Fund are recorded on the date the order to buy or sell is confirmed. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains from each Fund are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Fund of the Trusts are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

       
     

    Federal Income Taxes

       
     

    Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of SLD, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the Policyholders are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of SLD.

    SEPARATE ACCOUNT L1

    Notes to Financial Statements

     

    Policyholder Reserves

       
     

    Policyholder reserves are presented as net assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the aggregate account values of the Policyholders invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the Policyholders exceed their account values, SLD will contribute additional funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to SLD.

       

    3.

    Charges and Fees

       
     

    Under the terms of the Policies, certain charges are allocated to the Policies to cover SLD's expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Policies. Following is a summary of these charges:

       
     

    Mortality, Expense Risk, and Other Charges

       
     

    For FirstLine, FirstLine II, Strategic Advantage, Strategic Advantage II, Variable Survivorship, Estate Designer Policies, and Strategic Investor (Class A Policies), charges are made directly against the assets of the Account Divisions and are reflected daily in the computation of the unit values of the Divisions. A daily deduction, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the daily asset value of the Separate Account Divisions, is charged to the Account for mortality and expense risks assumed by the Company.

       
     

    For the Corporate Benefits, Strategic Benefits, and Asset Portfolio Manager Policies (Class B Policies), mortality and expense charges result in the redemption of units rather than a deduction in the daily computation of unit values.

       
     

    For Corporate Benefits Policies, a monthly deduction, at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Policyholder account value, is charged. For Strategic Benefits Policies, a monthly deduction, at an annual rate of 0.85%, 0.60%, and 0.50%, of the Policyholder account value, is charged during policy years 1 through 10, 11 through 20, and 21 and later, respectively. For Asset Portfolio Manager Policies, a monthly deduction, at an annual rate of 0.90% and 0.45% of the Policyholder account value, is charged during policy years 1 through 10 and 11 through 20, respectively. There is no mortality and expense charge after year 20 for Asset Portfolio Manager Policies.

    Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

     

    Board of Directors and Stockholder

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

     

    We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the "Company," and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc.), as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. W e believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     

    As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division of Insurance of the Department of Regulatory Agencies of the State of Colorado ("Colorado Division of Insurance"), which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the effect on the accompanying financial statements are described in Note 1. The effects on the financial statements of these variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

     

    In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company at December 31, 2004 and 2003, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended.

     

    F-3

     

     

    However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance.

    Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

       
     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the "Company") is domiciled in Colorado and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("ING AIH"). ING AIH's ultimate parent is ING Groep, N.V. ("ING"), a global financial services company based in The Netherlands. The Company focuses on three markets: the advanced market, reinsurance to other insurers, and the investment products market. The life insurance products offered for the advanced market include wealth transfer and estate planning, executive benefits, charitable giving and corporate-owned life insurance. These products include traditional life, interest-sensitive life, universal life, and variable life. Operations are conducted almost entirely on the general agency basis and the Company is presently licensed in all states (approved for reinsurance only in New York), the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In the reinsurance market, the Company offer s financial security to clients through a mix of total risk management and traditional life insurance services. In the investment products market, the Company offers guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements, and trust notes to institutional buyers.

       
     

    An affiliate, Southland Life Insurance Company ("Southland"), merged with and into the Company on October 1, 2004. The transaction was approved by the Division of Insurance of the Department of Regulatory Agencies of the State of Colorado ("Colorado Division of Insurance") and was accounted for as a statutory merger. No consideration was paid and no common stock was issued in exchange for all of the common shares of Southland. The accompanying financial statements have been restated as though the merger took place prior to all periods presented. Pre-merger separate company revenue, net income (loss) and other surplus adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $1,803,240,000, $130,837,000 and $1,002,921,000, respectively, for the Company and $305,811,000, $45,812,000 and $181,174,000, respectively, for Southland.

       
     

    On October 17, 2004, the Company and its Bermuda-based affiliate, Security Life of Denver International ("SLDI"), signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Scottish Re Group Limited and Scottish RE (U.S.), Inc. (collectively, "Scottish Re"); additionally, Scottish Re Life (Bermuda) Limited ("Scottish Bermuda"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scottish Re formed under the law of Bermuda, also signed the Asset Purchase Agreement upon its formation. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and reinsurance agreements entered into in connection therewith, the Company and SLDI reinsured their individual life reinsurance business (and sold certain systems and operating assets used in the individual life reinsurance business) to Scottish Re and Scottish Bermuda on a 100% coinsurance basis. The transaction closed on December 31, 2004, and the Company paid a ceding commission of approximately $560 million and transferred assets backing reserves and miscellaneous other liab ilities on the individual life reinsurance to Scottish Re and Scottish Bermuda. The ceding commission (net of taxes), along with other reserve assets, will be held in trust for the benefit of the Company and SLDI to secure Scottish Re's and Scottish Bermuda's obligations as reinsurer on the acquired business.

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

     

    ING AIH remains obligated to maintain collateral for certain reserve requirements of the business transferred from SLDI for the duration of such reserve requirements or until underlying reinsurance contracts are novated to Scottish Re or until Scottish Re puts into place its own collateral for such reserve requirements. The ceding commission will be released from trust based upon a predetermined schedule or upon the earlier release of ING AIH collateral obligations.

       
     

    As of, and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, the financial impacts to the Company are a reduction in invested assets of $472 million, a reduction in capital and surplus of $116 million, and a reduction in net income of approximately $116 million.

       
     

    Basis of Presentation

       
     

    The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

       
     

    The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The most significant variances from GAAP are as follows:

       
     

    Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or market value based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments are designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value with unrealized capital gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income in stockholder's equity for those designated as available-for-sale.

       
     

    For structured securities, when a negative yield results from a revaluation based on new prepayment assumptions (i.e., undiscounted cash flows are less than current book value), an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred and the asset is written down to the value of the undiscounted cash flows. For GAAP, assets are re-evaluated based on the discounted cash flows using a current market rate. Impairments are recognized when there has been an adverse change in cash flows and the fair value is less than book value. The asset is then written down to fair value.

       
     

    Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments rather than reported as an operating asset as under GAAP, and investment income and operating

     

    F-11

     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

     

    expenses include rent for the Company's occupancy of those properties. Changes between depreciated cost and admitted asset investment amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus (deficit) rather than income as would be required under GAAP.

       
     

    Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAP") No. 31, Derivative Instruments applies to derivative transactions prior to January 1, 2003. The Company also follows the hedge accounting guidance in SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments for derivative transactions entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2003. Under this guidance, derivatives that are deemed effective hedges are accounted for in a manner which is consistent with the underlying hedged item. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of SSAP No. 86 as an effective hedge are carried at fair value with the change in value recorded in surplus as unrealized gains or losses. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately, an embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the econo mic characteristics and risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of shareholder's equity rather than to income as required for fair value hedges.

       
     

    Redeemable preferred stocks rated as high quality or better are reported at cost or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or market value, and nonredeemable preferred stocks are reported at market value or the lower of cost or market value as determined by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC ("SVO").

       
     

    Common stocks are reported at market value as determined by the SVO and the related unrealized capital gains/losses are reported in unassigned surplus (deficit) along with adjustment for federal income taxes.

       
     

    Valuation Reserves: The asset valuation reserve ("AVR") is determined by an NAIC-prescribed formula and is reported as a liability rather than as a valuation allowance or an appropriation of surplus. The change in AVR is reported directly to unassigned deficit.

       
     

    Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed-income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates, and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual securities sold in five-year bands. The net deferral or interest maintenance reserve ("IMR") is reported as a component of other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets.

     

    F-12

     

     

     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

     

    Realized gains and losses on investments are reported in operations net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the statements of operations on a pretax basis in the period that the asset giving rise to the gain or loss is sold and valuation allowances are provided when there has been a decline in value deemed other than temporary, in which case the provision for such declines is charged to income.

       
     

    Valuation allowances, if necessary, are established for mortgage loans based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.

       
     

    The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans as a result of a temporary impairment are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus (deficit), rather than being included as a component of earnings as would be required under GAAP.

       
     

    Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, acquisition costs related to traditional life insurance, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, are deferred and amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves. For universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross margins from surrender charges and investment, mortality, and expense margins.

       
     

    Premiums: Life premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums for annuity policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, are also recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting. In deposit accounting, premiums are credited to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium through income.

       
     

    Under GAAP, premiums for traditional life insurance products, which include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist primarily of whole life insurance policies, are recognized as revenue when due. Group insurance premiums are recognized as premium revenue over the time period to which the premiums relate. Revenues for universal life, annuities and guaranteed interest contracts consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration charges, amortization of policy initiation fees and surrender charges assessed during the period.

     

    F-13

     

     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

     

    Benefit and Contract Reserves: Life policy and contract reserves under statutory accounting practices are calculated based upon both the net level premium and Commissioners' Reserve Valuation methods using statutory rates for mortality and interest. GAAP requires that policy reserves for traditional products be based upon the net level premium method utilizing reasonably conservative estimates of mortality, interest, and withdrawals prevailing when the policies were sold. For interest-sensitive products, the GAAP policy reserve is equal to the policy fund balance plus an unearned revenue reserve which reflects the unamortized balance of early year policy loads over renewal year policy loads.

       
     

    Reinsurance: For business ceded to unauthorized reinsurers, statutory accounting practices require that reinsurance credits permitted by the treaty be recorded as an offsetting liability and charged against unassigned surplus (deficit). Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings. Statutory income recognized on certain reinsurance treaties representing financing arrangements is not recognized on a GAAP basis.

       
     

    Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as required under GAAP.

       
     

    Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

       
     

    Gains and losses generated in certain reinsurance transactions are deferred and amortized over the remaining life the business for GAAP purposes. For statutory, such amounts are recognized immediately in income, with gains reported as a separate component of surplus.

       
     

    Subsidiaries: The accounts and operations of the Company's subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company as would be required under GAAP.

       
     

    Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as "nonadmitted," principally deferred federal income tax assets, disallowed interest maintenance reserves, non-operating software, past-due agents' balances, furniture and equipment, intangible assets, and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus (deficit).

       
     

    Employee Benefits: For purposes of calculating the Company's pension and postretirement benefit obligation, only vested participants and current retirees are included in the valuation. Under GAAP, active participants not currently vested are also included.

     

    F-14

     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

     

    Universal Life and Annuity Policies: Revenues for universal life and annuity policies consist of the entire premium received and benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Under GAAP, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values.

       
     

    Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies.

       
     

    Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets are provided for and admitted to an amount determined under a standard formula. This formula considers the amount of differences that will reverse in the subsequent year, taxes paid in prior years that could be recovered through carrybacks, surplus limits, and the amount of deferred tax liabilities available for offset. Any deferred tax assets not covered under the formula are non-admitted. Deferred taxes do not include any amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, a deferred tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in future years and a valuation allowance is established for the portion that is not realizable.

       
     

    Surplus Notes: Surplus notes are reported as a component of surplus. Under statutory accounting practices, no interest is recorded on the surplus notes until payment has been approved by the Colorado Division of Insurance. Under GAAP, surplus notes are reported as liabilities and the related interest is reported as a charge to earnings over the term of the notes.

       
     

    Statements of Cash Flows: Cash and short-term investments in the statements of cash flows represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

       
     

    Reconciliation to GAAP: The effects of the preceding variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements have not been determined, but are presumed to be material.

       
     

    Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

       
     

    Investments

       
     

    Investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:

       
       

    Bonds not backed by other loans are principally stated at amortized cost using the interest method.

     

    F-15

     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

       

    Single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method including anticipated prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities except for higher-risk asset backed securities, which are valued using the prospective method. The Company has elected to use the book value as of January 1, 1994 as the cost for applying the retrospective method to securities purchased prior to that date where historical cash flows are not readily available.

         
       

    Redeemable preferred stocks rated as high quality or better are reported at cost or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or market value and nonredeemable preferred stocks are reported at market value or the lower of cost or market value as determined by the SVO.

         
       

    Common stocks are reported at market value as determined by the SVO and the related unrealized capital gains/losses are reported in unassigned surplus (deficit) along with adjustment for federal income taxes.

         
       

    The Company analyzes the general account investments to determine whether there has been an other than temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Management considers the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, future economic conditions and market forecasts, and the Company's intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in market value. If it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security will not be collected, an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred.

         
       

    The Company uses derivatives such as interest rate swaps, caps and floors as part of its overall interest rate risk management strategy for certain life insurance and annuity products. As the Company only uses derivatives for hedging purposes, the Company values all derivative instruments on a consistent basis with the hedged item. Upon termination, gains and losses on instruments are included in the carrying values of the underlying hedged items and are amortized over the remaining lives of the hedged items as adjustments to investment income or benefits from the hedged items. Any unamortized gains or losses are recognized when the underlying hedged items are sold.

         
       

    Interest rate swap contracts are used to convert the interest rate characteristics (fixed or variable) of certain investments to match those of the related insurance liabilities that the investments are supporting. The net interest effect of such swap transactions is reported as an adjustment of interest income from the hedged items as incurred.

    F-16

     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

       

    Interest rate caps and floors are used to limit the effects of changing interest rates on yields of variable rate or short-term assets or liabilities. The initial cost of any such agreement is amortized to net investment income over the life of the agreement. Periodic payments that are receivable as a result of the agreements are accrued as an adjustment of interest income or benefits from the hedged items.

         
       

    The derivatives are reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. All effective derivatives are reported at amortized cost. Upon termination of a derivative that qualified for hedge accounting, the gain or loss is deferred in IMR or adjusts the basis of the hedged item.

         
       

    The Company's insurance subsidiaries are reported at their underlying statutory-basis net assets plus the admitted portion of goodwill, and the Company's noninsurance subsidiary is reported at the GAAP basis of its net assets. Dividends from subsidiaries are included in net investment income. The remaining net change in the subsidiaries' equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses.

         
       

    Mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, less allowance for impairments.

         
       

    Contract loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

         
       

    Land is reported at cost. Real estate occupied by the Company is reported at depreciated cost, and other real estate is reported at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties.

         
       

    For reverse repurchase agreements, Company policies require a minimum of 95% of the fair value of securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements to be maintained as collateral. Cash collateral received is invested in short-term investments and the offsetting collateral liability is included in miscellaneous liabilities.

         
       

    Reverse dollar repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateral borrowings, where the amount borrowed is equal to the sales price of the underlying securities.

         
       

    The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain domestic bonds from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Collateral, primarily cash, which is in excess of the market value of the loaned securities, is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent to generate additional income for the Company. The Company does not have access to the collateral. The Company's policy requires a minimum of 102% of the fair value of securities loaned to be maintained as collateral. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value fluctuates.

    F-17

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

       

    Short-term investments are reported at amortized cost. Short-term investments include investments with maturities of less than one year at the date of acquisition.

         
       

    Partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets, are reported at the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee.

         
       

    Residual collateralized mortgage obligations, which are included in other invested assets, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

         
       

    Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the first-in first-out method.

         
       

    Cash on hand includes cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short-term investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity date of three months or less. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

         
     

    Aggregate Reserve for Life Policies and Contracts

       
     

    Life, annuity, and accident and health reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash value or the amounts required by law. Interest rates range from 2.0% to 11.3%.

       
     

    The Company waives the deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon the death of the insured. It is the Company's practice to return a pro rata portion of any premium paid beyond the policy month of death, although it is not contractually required to do so for certain issues.

       
     

    The methods used in valuation of substandard policies are as follows:

       
       

    For life, endowment and term policies issued substandard, the standard reserve during the premium-paying period is increased by 50% of the gross annual extra premium. Standard reserves are held on Paid-Up Limited Pay contracts.

       
       

    For reinsurance accepted with table rating, the reserve established is a multiple of the standard reserve corresponding to the table rating.

       
       

    For reinsurance with flat extra premiums, the standard reserve is increased by 50% of the flat extra.

       
     

    The tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves for all direct ordinary life insurance and for the portion of group life insurance classified as group Section 79. The method of determination of tabular interest of funds

    F-18

     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

     

    not involving life contingencies is as follows: current year reserves, plus payments, less prior year reserves, less funds added.

       
     

    Reinsurance

       
     

    Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts and are consistent with the risks assumed. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium revenue and benefits expense. Amounts applicable to reinsurance ceded for reserves and unpaid claim liabilities have been reported as reductions of these items, and expense allowances received in connection with reinsurance ceded have been reflected in operations.

    Changes in nonadmitted assets are generally reported directly in unassigned surplus (deficit) as an increase or decrease in nonadmitted assets. Certain changes are reported directly in unassigned surplus (deficit) as a change in unrealized capital gains or losses.

       
     

    Claims and Claims Adjustment Expenses

       
     

    Claims expenses represent the estimated ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims incurred through December 31, 2004. The Company does not discount claims and claims adjustment expense reserves. Such estimates are based on actuarial projections applied to historical claim payment data. Such liabilities are considered to be reasonable and adequate to discharge the Company's obligations for claims incurred but unpaid as of December 31, 2004.

       
     

    Cash Flow Information

       
     

    Cash and short-term investments include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term fixed maturity instruments with a maturity of less than one year at date of acquisition.

       
     

    Separate Accounts

       
     

    More than half of the separate account assets and liabilities held by the Company represent funds held for the benefit of the Company's variable life and annuity policy and contract holders who bear all of the investment risk associated with the policies. Such policies are of a non-guaranteed nature. All net investment experience, positive or negative, is attributed to the policy and contract holders' account values. The assets of these accounts are carried at fair value.

     

    F-20

     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

     

    Certain other separate accounts relate to experience-rated group annuity contracts that fund defined contribution pension plans. These contracts provide guaranteed interest returns for one year only, where the guaranteed interest rate is re-established each year based on the investment experience of the separate account. In no event can the interest rate be less than zero. The assets and liabilities of these separate accounts are carried at book value.

       
     

    Reserves related to the Company's mortality risk associated with these policies are included in life and annuity reserves. The operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements. These reserves include reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefits (before reinsurance) that totaled $20.8 million and $16.9 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

       
     

    Reclassifications

       
     

    Certain prior year amounts in the Company's statutory-basis financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 financial statement presentation.

       
       

    2.

    Permitted Statutory Basis Accounting Practices

       
     

    The financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Colorado. The Colorado Division of Insurance recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Colorado for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Colorado Insurance Laws. The NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Colorado. The Commissioner of Insurance has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

       
     

    The Company is required to identify those significant accounting practices that are permitted, and obtain written approval of the practices from the Colorado Division of Insurance. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no such permitted accounting practices.

    The Company entered into reverse dollar repurchase transactions to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity. Reverse dollar repurchases involve a sale of securities and an agreement to repurchase substantially the same securities as those sold. The reverse dollar repurchases are accounted for as short-term collateralized financing and the repurchase obligation is reported in borrowed money. The repurchase obligation totaled $438,404,000 and $255,715,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The securities, underlying these agreements are mortgage-backed securities with a book value of $436,748,000 and $253,499,000 and fair value of $439,179,000 and $256,420,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the securities had a weighted average coupon rate of 5.5% and had maturities ranging from December 2019 through December 2034. The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty may be unable to p erform under the terms of the contract. The Company's exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short-term investments, which was not material at December 31, 2004. The Company believes that the counterparties to the reverse dollar repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that counterparty risk is minimal.

       
     

    The Company participates in reverse repurchase transactions. Such transactions include the sale of corporate securities to a major securities dealer and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same security in the near term. The proceeds are invested in new securities of intermediate durations. The terms of the reverse repurchase agreements call for payment of interest at a rate of 1.45%. The agreements mature prior to the end of January 2005. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the amount outstanding on these agreements was $115,200,000 and $36,200,000, respectively, and was included in borrowed money on the balance sheets. The securities underlying these agreements are mortgage-backed securities with a book value of $114,807,000 and $36,500,000 and fair value of $115,135,000 and $36,854,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

    The securities have a weighted average coupon rate of 5.1% and have maturities ranging from October 2015 through January 2035.

       
     

    The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka ("FHLB"). As a member of the FHLB, the Company has issued non-putable funding agreements with the FHLB. Assets with a book value of $1,348,717,000 collateralize these agreements. The reserves on these agreements were $1,161,216,000 at December 31, 2004.

       
     

    The maximum and minimum lending rates for long-term mortgage loans during 2004 were 6.58% and 3.35%. Fire insurance is required on all properties covered by mortgage loans and must at least equal the excess of the loan over the maximum loan which would be permitted by law on the land without the buildings.

       
     

    The maximum percentage of any loan to the value of collateral at the time of the loan, exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages, was 75.5% on commercial properties. As of December 31, 2004, the Company held no mortgages with interest more than 180 days overdue. Total interest on past due mortgages was $88,027 and $90,467 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

    Derivative Financial Instruments Held for Purposes Other than Trading

       
     

    The Company only uses derivatives for hedging purposes by entering into derivatives such as swaps, caps, floors, and options to reduce and manage risks, which include the risk of a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, exchange rates or quantity of, or a degree of exposure with respect to, assets, liabilities, or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred. The Company's hedge accounting practices are in accordance with the requirements set in SSAP No. 86.

       
     

    The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities. Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. Currency swap agreements generally involve the exchange of local and foreign currency payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

       
     

    Interest rate cap and interest rate floor agreements owned entitle the Company to receive payments to the extent reference interest rates exceed or fall below strike levels in the contracts based on the notional amounts.

       
     

    Premiums paid for the purchase of interest rate contracts are included in other invested assets on the balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the contracts or in a manner consistent with the financial instruments being hedged.

     

    F-27

    Amounts paid or received, if any, from such contracts are included in interest expense or income on the statements of operations. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable from counterparties are included in other liabilities or other invested assets.

       
     

    Gains or losses realized as a result of early terminations of interest rate contracts are amortized to investment income over the remaining term of the items being hedged to the extent the hedge is considered to be effective; otherwise, they are recognized upon termination. Changes in the fair value of effective hedge derivatives are recorded as investment income. Changes in the fair value of ineffective hedge derivatives are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in surplus. The Company manages the potential credit exposure from interest rate contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparties' credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.

       
     

    Interest rate contracts that are matched or otherwise designated to be associated with other financial instruments are recorded at fair value if the related financial instruments mature, are sold, or are otherwise terminated or if the interest rate contracts cease to be effective hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The Company manages the potential credit exposure from interest rate contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparties' credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.

       
     

    The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on interest rate contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. The amount of such exposure is generally the unrealized gains in such contracts.

    The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e. health care cost trend rate) for the medical plan is 10%, decreasing gradually to 5% for 2009 and thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 2004 by $74,000. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 2004 by $71,000.

    Reinsurance

       
     

    The Company is involved in both ceded and assumed reinsurance with other companies for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger risks. To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under these treaties, the Company remains contingently liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from retrocessionaire insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of the retrocessionaire and monitors concentrations of credit risk.

       
     

    Assumed premiums amounted to $1,080,056,000 and $1,008,921,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

       
     

    The Company's ceded reinsurance arrangements reduced certain items in the accompanying financial statements by the following amounts:

    During 2004 and 2003, the Company had ceded blocks of insurance under reinsurance treaties to provide funds for financing and other purposes. These reinsurance transactions, generally known as "financial reinsurance," represent financing arrangements. Financial reinsurance has the effect of increasing current statutory surplus while reducing future statutory surplus as the reinsurers recapture amounts.

       
       

    10.

    Federal Income Taxes

       
     

    The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return with its parent, ING AIH, and other U.S. affiliates and subsidiaries. The method of tax allocation is governed by a written tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides that each member of the consolidated return shall reimburse ING AIH for its respective share of the consolidated federal income tax liability and shall receive a benefit for its losses at the statutory rate.

    The amount of federal income taxes incurred that will be available for recoupment in the event of future net losses is $0 and $125,116,372 from 2004 and 2003, respectively.

       
     

    Under the inter-company tax sharing agreement, the Company has a receivable from ING AIH of $65,092,000 and a payable to ING AIH of $24,276,000 for federal income taxes as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

       
     

    Under prior law, life insurance companies were allowed to defer from taxation a portion of income. The deferred income was accumulated in the Policyholders' Surplus Account. This deferred income only becomes taxable under certain conditions, which management believes to be remote. Furthermore, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 allows certain tax-free distributions from the Policyholders' Surplus Account during 2005 and 2006. Therefore, based on currently available information, no federal income taxes have been provided on the Company's Policyholders' Surplus Account accumulated balance of $60,490,000.

The Company also has three wholly owned noninsurance subsidiaries: First Secured Mortgage Deposit Corporation, ING America Equities, Inc. ("IAE"), and Draft Funding LLC.

       
     

    IAE is a wholesale broker/dealer whose business activities consist only of the distribution of variable life and annuity contracts. IAE does not hold customer funds or securities.

    Capital and Surplus

       
     

    Under Colorado insurance regulations, the Company is required to maintain a minimum total capital and surplus of $1,500,000. Additionally, the amount of dividends which can be paid by the Company to its shareholder without prior approval of the Colorado Division of Insurance is limited to the greater of the net gain from operations or 10% of surplus at December 31 of the preceding year.

       
     

    Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk-Based Capital ("RBC") requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life and health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 2004, the Company meets the RBC requirements.

       
     

    The Company has two surplus notes to a related party for $65,032,000 and $100,000,000, which represent the cumulative cash draws on two $100,000,000 commitments issued by ING AIH through December 31, 2004, less principal payments. The surplus notes bear interest at a variable rate equal to the prevailing rate for 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds plus 1/4%, adjusted annually. The principal sum plus accrued interest shall be repaid in five annual installments beginning April 15, 2017 and continuing through April 15, 2021 ("Repayment Period"). The repayment amount shall be determined and adjusted annually on the last day of December, commencing December 31, 2016, and shall be an amount calculated to amortize any unpaid principal plus accrued interest over the years remaining in the Repayment Period.

       
     

    The repayment of these notes are payable only out of surplus funds of the Company and only at such time as the surplus of the Company, after payment is made, does not fall below the prescribed level. There were no principal or interest payments in 2004 or 2003.

       
       

    13.

    Fair Values of Financial Instruments

       
     

    In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. 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 immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

     

    Life insurance liabilities that contain mortality risk and all nonfinancial instruments have been excluded from the disclosure requirements. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company's overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company's exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

    The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto:

       
       

    Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

     

     

    F-40

     

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

       

    Bonds and equity securities: The fair values for bonds, preferred stocks and common stocks reported herein are based on quoted market prices, where available. For securities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placements, collateralized mortgage obligations and other mortgage derivative investments, are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows. The discount rates used vary as a function of factors such as yield, credit quality, and maturity, which fall within a range between 3.4% and 17.6% over the total portfolio. Fair values determined on this basis can differ from values published by the SVO. Fair value as determined by the SVO as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 is $13,684,062,000 and $14,576,839,000, respectively.

         
       

    Mortgage loans: Estimated fair values for commercial real estate loans were generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Loans in good standing are discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on December 31 and spreads applied on new loans with similar characteristics. The amortizing features of all loans are incorporated in the valuation. Where data on option features is available, option values are determined using a binomial valuation method, and are incorporated into the mortgage valuation. Restructured loans are valued in the same manner; however, these loans were discounted at a greater spread to reflect increased risk. All residential loans are valued at their outstanding principal balances, which approximate their fair values.

         
       

    Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for on-balance-sheet derivative financial instruments (caps and floors) and off-balance-sheet derivative financial instruments (swaps) are based on broker/dealer valuations or on internal discounted cash flow pricing models, taking into account current cash flow assumptions and the counterparties' credit standing.

         
       

    Investment in surplus notes: Estimated fair values in surplus notes were generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows were discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on December 31 and spreads applied on surplus notes with similar characteristics.

         
       

    Guaranteed investment contracts: The fair values of the Company's guaranteed investment contracts are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations, based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.

         
       

    Off-balance-sheet instruments: The Company accepted additional deposits on existing synthetic guaranteed investment contracts in the amounts of $64,925,000 and $283,806,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, from trustees of 401(k) plans. Pursuant to the terms of these contracts, the trustees own and retain the assets related to these December 31, 2004 contracts. Such assets had a book value of $573,500,000 and

     

    F-41

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis

       

    $1,086,097,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Under synthetic guaranteed investment contracts, the synthetic issuer may assume interest rate risk on individual plan participant initiated withdrawals from stable value options of 401(k) plans. Approximately 100% of the synthetic guaranteed investment contract book values are on a participating basis and have a credited interest rate reset mechanism, which passes such interest rate risk to plan participants.

         
       

    Other investment-type insurance contracts: The fair values of the Company's deferred annuity contracts are estimated based on the cash surrender values. The carrying values of other policyholder liabilities, including immediate annuities, dividend accumulations, supplementary contracts without life contingencies, and premium deposits, approximate their fair values.

         
     

    The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximates their fair value.

       
       

    14.

    Commitments and Contingencies

       
     

    The Company is a party to threatened or pending lawsuits arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of pending lawsuits, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial position.

       
     

    The Company guarantees certain contractual policy obligations of its subsidiary, Midwestern United. In the unlikely event that Midwestern United was unable to fulfill its obligations to policyholders, the Company would be obligated to assume the guaranteed policy obligations, but any ultimate contingent losses in connection with such guarantees will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's future operations or financial position.

       
     

    Guarantee Agreement

       
     

    The Company, effective January 2002, entered into a Guarantee Agreement with two other ING affiliates whereby it is jointly and severally liable for $250,000,000 obligation of SLDI. The Company's Board of Directors approved this transaction on April 25, 2002. The other two affiliated life insurers were ReliaStar Life Insurance Company and Security-Connecticut (subsequently merged into ReliaStar Life Insurance Company on October 1, 2003). The joint and several guarantees of the two insurers are capped at $250,000,000. The States of Colorado and Minnesota did not disapprove the guarantee.

    Regulatory Matters

       

    As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

    Fund Regulatory Issues

       

    Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares, revenue sharing and directed brokerage, compensation, sales practices and suitability, arrangements with service providers, pricing, compliance and controls, and adequacy of disclosure.

       

    In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund regulatory issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

     
     

    The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain affiliates of the Company, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in reports previously filed by affiliates of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

       

    An affiliate of the Company, ING Funds Distributors, LLC ("IFD") has received notice from the staff of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") that the staff has made a preliminary determination to recommend that disciplinary action be brought against IFD and one of its registered persons for violations of the NASD Conduct Rules and federal securities laws in connection with frequent trading arrangements.

       

    Other regulators, including the SEC and the New York Attorney General, are also likely to take some action with respect to certain ING affiliates before concluding their investigation of ING relating to fund trading. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING's U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

       

    ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING's internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING's U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

    Other Regulatory Matters

       

    The New York Attorney General and other regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives, potential conflicts of interest, potential anti-competitive activity, marketing practices, certain financial reinsurance arrangements, and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these investigations will further broaden before the investigations are concluded. U.S. affiliates of ING have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request for information.

       
     

    These initiatives may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged.

       

    In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.
