AICA GUARANTEED ACCOUNT - MAY 1, 2001
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTRODUCTION

The AICA Guaranteed Account (the Guaranteed Account) is a fixed interest option
available during the accumulation phase of certain variable annuity contracts
issued by Aetna Insurance Company of America (the Company, we, us). Read this
prospectus carefully before investing in the Guaranteed Account and save it for
future reference.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Guaranteed Account offers investors an opportunity to earn specified
guaranteed rates of interest for specified periods of time, called guaranteed
terms. We generally offer several guaranteed terms at any one time for those
considering investing in the Guaranteed Account. Each guaranteed term offers a
guaranteed interest rate for investments that remain in the Guaranteed Account
for the duration of the specific guaranteed term. The guaranteed term
establishes both the length of time for which we agree to credit a guaranteed
interest rate and how long your investment must remain in the Guaranteed Account
in order to receive the guaranteed interest rate.

We guarantee both principal and interest if, and only if, your investment
remains invested for the full guaranteed term. Charges related to the contract,
such as a maintenance fee or early withdrawal charge, may still apply even if
you do not withdraw until the end of a guaranteed term. INVESTMENTS TAKEN OUT OF
THE GUARANTEED ACCOUNT PRIOR TO THE END OF A GUARANTEED TERM MAY BE SUBJECT TO A
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN INVESTMENT GAIN OR LOSS. SEE
"MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT," PAGE 11.

This prospectus will explain:
- - Guaranteed interest rates and guaranteed terms;
- - Contributions to the Guaranteed Account;
- - Types of investments available;
- - How rates are offered;
- - How there can be an investment risk and how we calculate gain or loss;
- - Contract charges that can affect your account value in the Guaranteed
Account;
- - Taking investments out of the Guaranteed Account; and
- - How to reinvest or withdraw at maturity.

The Guaranteed Account is a fixed interest option that may be available
during the accumulation phase of your variable annuity contract. The
following is a summary of certain facts about the Guaranteed Account.

IN GENERAL. Amounts that you invest in the Guaranteed Account will earn a
guaranteed interest rate if left in the Guaranteed Account for a specified
period of time (the guaranteed term). You must invest amounts in the
Guaranteed Account for the full guaranteed term in order to receive the
quoted guaranteed interest rate. If you withdraw or transfer those amounts
before the end of the guaranteed term, we may apply a "market value adjustment,"
which may be positive or negative.

DEPOSIT PERIODS. A deposit period is the time during which we offer a specific
guaranteed interest rate if you deposit dollars for a specific guaranteed term.
For a particular guaranteed interest rate and guaranteed term to apply to your
account dollars, you must invest them during the deposit period in which that
rate and term are offered.

GUARANTEED TERMS. A guaranteed term is the period of time account dollars must
be left in the Guaranteed Account in order to earn the guaranteed interest rate
specified for that guaranteed term. We offer different guaranteed terms at
different times. We may also offer more than one guaranteed term of the same
duration with different guaranteed interest rates. Check with your sales
representative or the Company to learn the details about the guaranteed term(s)
currently offered. We reserve the right to limit the number of guaranteed terms
or the availability of certain guaranteed terms.

GUARANTEED INTEREST RATES. We guarantee different interest rates, depending upon
when account dollars are invested in the Guaranteed Account. For guaranteed
terms one year or longer, we may offer different rates for specified time
periods within a guaranteed term. The interest rate we guarantee is an annual
effective yield; that means that the rate reflects a full year's interest. We
credit interest at a rate that will provide the guaranteed annual effective
yield over one year. The guaranteed interest rate(s) are guaranteed for that
deposit period and for the length of the guaranteed term.

The guaranteed interest rates we offer will always meet or exceed the minimum
interest rates agreed to in the contract. Apart from meeting the contractual
minimum interest rates, we cannot guarantee any aspect of future offerings.

FEES AND OTHER DEDUCTIONS. We do not make deductions from amounts in the
Guaranteed Account to cover mortality and expense risks. We consider these
risks when determining the credited rate. The following other types of
charges may be deducted from amounts held in, withdrawn or transferred from
the Guaranteed Account:

- - Market Value Adjustment (MVA). An MVA may be applied to amounts
transferred or withdrawn prior to the end of a guaranteed term, which
reflects changes in interest rates since the deposit period. The MVA may
be positive or negative and therefore may increase or decrease the
amount withdrawn to satisfy a transfer or withdrawal request. See
"Market Value Adjustment (MVA)."

- - Tax Penalties and/or Tax Withholding. Amounts withdrawn may be subject
to withholding for federal income taxes, as well as a 10% penalty tax
for amounts

withdrawn prior to your having attained age 59 1/2. See "Taxation"; see
also the "Taxation" section of the contract prospectus.
- - Early Withdrawal Charge. An early withdrawal charge, which is a deferred
sales charge, may apply to amounts withdrawn from the contract, in order
to reimburse us for some of the sales and administrative expenses
associated with the contract. See "Contract Charges"; see also the "Fees"
section of the contract prospectus.
- - Maintenance Fee. A maintenance fee of up to $30 may be deducted, on an
annual basis, pro rata from all funding options including the Guaranteed
Account. See "Contract Charges"; see also the "Fees" section of the
contract prospectus.
- - Transfer Fees. During the accumulation phase, transfer fees of up to $10
per transfer may be deducted from amounts held in or transferred from the
Guaranteed Account. See "Contract Charges"; see also the "Fees" section
of the contract prospectus.
- - Premium Taxes. We may deduct premium taxes of up to 4% from amounts in the
Guaranteed Account. See "Contract Charges"; see also the "Fees" section of
the contract prospectus.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (MVA). If you withdraw or transfer your account value
from the Guaranteed Account before a guaranteed term is complete, an MVA may
apply. The MVA reflects the change in the value of the investment due to
changes in interest rates since the date of deposit. The MVA may be positive
or negative depending upon interest rate activity at the time of withdrawal
or transfer.

An MVA will not apply to:
- - Amounts transferred or withdrawn at the end of a guaranteed term;
- - Transactions made under the maturity value transfer provision;
- - Transfers due to participation in the dollar cost averaging program (see
"Market Value Adjustment" for certain restrictions);
- - Amounts distributed under a systematic distribution option (see "Systematic
Distribution Options" in the contract prospectus);
- - Withdrawals for minimum distributions required by the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (Tax Code), and for which the early withdrawal
charge is waived; and
- - Withdrawals due to your exercise of the right to cancel your contract.
See the "Right to Cancel" section of the contract prospectus.

- - Withdrawals due to the election of a lifetime income option; and
- - Unless otherwise noted, payment of a guaranteed death benefit (if paid
within the first six months following death).

All other withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA, regardless of
whether it is positive or negative, including:

- - Withdrawals due to the election of a nonlifetime income option;

[Sidebar]
CONTRACT HOLDER (YOU/YOUR)-- The contract holder of an individually owned
contract or the certificate holder of a group contract.
[End Sidebar]
- - Payment of a guaranteed death benefit due to the death of a spousal
beneficiary or a joint contract holder who continued the account
in his or her name after the death of the other joint contract holder;
- - Payment of a guaranteed death benefit more than six months after the date
of death; and

- - Full or partial withdrawals during the accumulation phase (an MVA may not
apply in certain situations, as noted above).

See "Description of the Guaranteed Account" and "Market Value Adjustment (MVA)."

MATURITY OF A GUARANTEED TERM. On or before the end of a guaranteed term, you
may instruct us to:
- - Transfer the matured amount to one or more new guaranteed terms available
under the current deposit period;
- - Transfer the matured amount to other available investment options; or
- - Withdraw the matured amount.

Amounts withdrawn may be subject to an early withdrawal charge, a maintenance
fee, tax withholding and, if you are under age 59 1/2, tax penalties. See
"Contract Charges"; see also the "Fees" and "Taxation" sections of the contract
prospectus.

When a guaranteed term ends, if we have not received instructions from you, we
will automatically reinvest the maturing investment into a new guaranteed term
of similar length (see "Maturity of a Guaranteed Term" and "Maturity Value
Transfer Provision"). If the same guaranteed term is no longer available, the
next shortest guaranteed term available in the current deposit period will be
used. If no shorter guaranteed term is available, the next longest guaranteed
term will be used.

If you do not provide instructions concerning the maturing amount on or before
the end of a guaranteed term, and this amount is automatically reinvested as
noted above, the maturity value transfer provision will apply.

MATURITY VALUE TRANSFER PROVISION. This provision allows transfers or
withdrawals of amounts automatically reinvested at the end of a guaranteed term
without an MVA, if the transfer or withdrawal occurs during the calendar month
immediately following a guaranteed term maturity date. As described in "Fees and
Other Deductions" above, other fees, including an early withdrawal charge and a
maintenance fee, may be assessed on amounts withdrawn. See "Maturity Value
Transfer Provision."

TRANSFER OF ACCOUNT DOLLARS. Generally, account dollars invested in the
Guaranteed Account may be transferred among guaranteed terms offered through
the Guaranteed Account and/or to other investment options offered through the
contract. However:
- - Transfers may not be made during the deposit period in which your account
dollars are invested in the Guaranteed Account or for 90 days after the
close of that deposit period; and
- - We may apply an MVA to transfers made before the end of a guaranteed term.

INVESTMENTS. Guaranteed interest rates credited during any guaranteed term do
not necessarily relate to investment performance. Deposits received into the
Guaranteed Account will generally be invested in federal, state and municipal
obligations,

corporate bonds, preferred stocks, real estate mortgages, real estate, certain
other fixed income investments and cash or cash equivalents. All of our general
assets are available to meet guarantees under the Guaranteed Account.

Amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Account are held in a nonunitized separate
account established by the Company under Florida law. Prior to January 5, 2000,
these amounts were held in a nonunitized separate account established by the
Company under Connecticut law. To the extent provided for in the contract,
assets of the separate account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out
of any other business that we conduct. See "Investments."

NOTIFICATION OF MATURITY. We will notify you at least 18 calendar days prior to
the maturity of a guaranteed term. We will include information relating to the
current deposit period's guaranteed interest rates and the available guaranteed
terms. You may obtain information concerning available deposit periods,
guaranteed interest rates and guaranteed terms by telephone (1-800-262-3862).
See "Description of the AICA Guaranteed Account--General" and "Maturity of a
Guaranteed Term."

DESCRIPTION OF THE GUARANTEED ACCOUNT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL
The Guaranteed Account offers guaranteed interest rates for specific guaranteed
terms. For a particular guaranteed interest rate and guaranteed term to apply
to your account dollars, you must invest them during the deposit period in which
that rate and term are offered. For guaranteed terms of one year or longer, we
may offer different interest rates for specified time periods within a
guaranteed term. We may also offer more than one guaranteed term of the same
duration with different guaranteed interest rates.

An MVA may be applied to any values withdrawn or transferred from a guaranteed
term prior to the end of that guaranteed term, except for amounts transferred
under the maturity value transfer provision, amounts transferred under the
dollar cost averaging program, amounts withdrawn under a systematic distribution
option, amounts withdrawn for minimum distributions required by the Tax Code and
withdrawals due to your exercise of the right to cancel your contract.

MVAs applied to withdrawals or transfers from the Guaranteed Account will be
calculated as an "aggregate MVA," which is the sum of all MVAs applicable due
to the withdrawal (see sidebar on page 11 for an example of the calculation of
the aggregate MVA). The following withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate
MVA only if it is positive:
- - Withdrawals due to the election of a lifetime income option; and
- - Unless otherwise noted, payment of a guaranteed death benefit (if paid
within the first six months following death).

All other withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA, regardless of
whether it is positive or negative, including:

- - Withdrawals due to the election of a nonlifetime income option;
- - Payment of a guaranteed death benefit due to the death of a spousal
beneficiary or a joint contract holder who continued the account in his or
her name after the death of the other joint contract holder;
- - Payment of a guaranteed death benefit more than six months after the date
of death; and

- - Full or partial withdrawals during the accumulation phase (an MVA may not
apply in certain situations, see "Market Value Adjustment (MVA)").

We maintain a toll-free telephone number for those wishing to obtain
information concerning available deposit periods, guaranteed interest rates
and guaranteed terms. The telephone number is 1-800-262-3862. At least 18
calendar days before a guaranteed term matures we will notify you of the
upcoming deposit period dates and information on the current guaranteed
interest rates, guaranteed terms and projected matured guaranteed term
values.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GUARANTEED ACCOUNT
You may invest in the guaranteed terms available in the current deposit period
by allocating new payments to the Guaranteed Account or by transferring a sum
from other funding options available under the contract or from other guaranteed
terms of the Guaranteed Account, subject to the transfer limitations described
in the contract. We may limit the number of guaranteed terms you may select.
Currently, if the dollar cost averaging program is in effect in a guaranteed
term and you wish to add an additional deposit to be dollar cost averaged, all
amounts to be dollar cost averaged will be combined and the dollar cost
averaging amount will be recalculated. This will affect the duration of amounts
in the guaranteed term.

Although there is currently no limit, we reserve the right to limit the total
number of investment options you may select at any one time during the life
of the contract. For purposes of determining any limit, each guaranteed term
counts as one investment option. Although we may require a minimum payment(s) to
a contract, we do not require a minimum investment for a guaranteed term. Refer
to the contract prospectus. There is a $500 minimum for transfers from other
funding options.

Investments may not be transferred from a guaranteed term during the deposit
period in which the investment is applied or during the first 90 days after the
close of the deposit period. This restriction does not apply to amounts
transferred or withdrawn under the maturity value transfer provision, to amounts
transferred under the dollar cost averaging program or, in some situations,
withdrawn because you discontinued the dollar cost averaging program or to
amounts distributed under a systematic distribution option. See "Maturity Value
Transfer Provision" and "Transfers."

DEPOSIT PERIOD
The deposit period is the period of time during which you may direct investments
to a particular guaranteed term(s) and receive a stipulated guaranteed interest
rate(s). Each deposit period may be a month, a calendar quarter or any other
period of time we specify.

GUARANTEED TERMS
A guaranteed term is the time we specify during which we credit the guaranteed
interest rate. We offer guaranteed terms at our discretion for various periods
ranging up to and including ten years. We may limit the number of guaranteed
terms you may select and may require enrollment in the dollar cost averaging
program.

GUARANTEED INTEREST RATES
Guaranteed interest rates are the rates that we guarantee will be credited on
amounts applied during a deposit period for a specific guaranteed term. We may
offer different guaranteed interest rates on guaranteed terms of the same
duration. Guaranteed interest rates are annual effective yields, reflecting a
full year's interest. We credit interest at a rate that will provide the
guaranteed annual effective yield over one year. Guaranteed interest rates are
credited according to the length of the guaranteed term as follows:

GUARANTEED TERMS OF ONE YEAR OR LESS. The guaranteed interest rate is
credited from the date of deposit to the last day of the guaranteed term.

GUARANTEED TERMS OF GREATER THAN ONE YEAR. Several different guaranteed
interest rates may be applicable during a guaranteed term of more
than one year. The initial guaranteed interest rate is credited
from the date of deposit to the end of a specified period within the
guaranteed term. We may credit several different guaranteed interest rates
for subsequent specific periods of time within the guaranteed term. For
example, for a five-year guaranteed term we may guarantee 7% for the
first year, 6.75% for the next two years and 6.5% for the remaining two
years. We reserve the right, however, to apply one guaranteed
interest rate for an entire guaranteed term.

We will not guarantee or credit a guaranteed interest rate below the minimum
rate specified in the contract, nor will we credit interest at a rate above
the guaranteed interest rate we announce prior to the start of a deposit
period. Our guaranteed interest rates are influenced by, but do not necessarily
correspond to, interest rates available on fixed income investments we may buy
using deposits directed to the Guaranteed Account (see "Investments"). We
consider other factors when determining guaranteed interest rates including
regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions and administrative expenses
borne by the Company, general economic trends and competitive factors. WE MAKE
THE FINAL DETERMINATION REGARDING GUARANTEED INTEREST RATES. WE CANNOT PREDICT
THE LEVEL OF FUTURE GUARANTEED INTEREST RATES.

MATURITY OF A GUARANTEED TERM. At least 18 calendar days prior to the maturity
of a guaranteed term we will notify you of the upcoming deposit period, the
projected value of the amount maturing at the end of the guaranteed term and the
guaranteed interest rate(s) and guaranteed term(s) available for the current
deposit period.

When a guaranteed term matures, the amounts in any maturing guaranteed term may
be:
- - Transferred to a new guaranteed term(s), if available under the contract;
- - Transferred to any of the allowable investment options available under the
contract; or
- - Withdrawn from the contract.

We do not apply an MVA to amounts transferred or withdrawn from a guaranteed
term on the date the guaranteed term matures. Amounts withdrawn, however, may
be subject to an early withdrawal charge, a maintenance fee, taxation and, if
the contract holder is under age 59 1/2, tax penalties.

If we have not received direction from you by the maturity date of a guaranteed
term, we will automatically transfer the matured term value to a new guaranteed
term of similar length. If the same guaranteed term is no longer available, the
next shortest guaranteed term available in the current deposit period will be
used. If no shorter guaranteed term is available, the next longest guaranteed
term will be used.

Under the Guaranteed Account, each guaranteed term is counted as one funding
option. If a guaranteed term matures, and is renewed for the same term, it will
not count as an additional investment option for purposes of any limitation on
the number of investment options.

[Sidebar]
BUSINESS DAY--Any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open.
[End Sidebar]
You will receive a confirmation statement, plus information on the new
guaranteed rate(s) and guaranteed term.

MATURITY VALUE TRANSFER PROVISION
If we automatically reinvest the proceeds from a matured guaranteed term, you
may transfer or withdraw from the Guaranteed Account the amount that was
reinvested without an MVA. An early withdrawal charge and maintenance fee may
apply to withdrawals. If the full amount reinvested is transferred or withdrawn,
we will include interest credited to the date of the transfer or withdrawal.
This provision is only available until the last business day of the month
following the maturity date of the prior guaranteed term. This provision only
applies to the first transfer or withdrawal request received from the contract
holder with respect to a particular matured guaranteed term value, regardless of
the amount involved in the transaction.

TRANSFERS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We allow you to transfer all or a portion of your account value to the
Guaranteed Account or to other investment options under the contract. We do not
allow transfers from any guaranteed term to any other guaranteed term or
investment option during the deposit period for that guaranteed term or for 90
days following the close of that deposit period. The 90-day wait does not apply
to:

- - Amounts transferred on the maturity date or under the maturity value
transfer provision;
- - Amounts transferred from the Guaranteed Account before the maturity date
due to the election of an income phase payment option;
- - Amounts distributed under a systematic distribution option; or
- - Amounts transferred from an available guaranteed term in connection with
the dollar cost averaging program.

Transfers after the 90-day period are permitted from a guaranteed term(s) to
another guaranteed term(s) available during a deposit period or to other
available investment

options. We will apply an MVA to transfers made before the end of a guaranteed
term. Transfers within one calendar month of a term's maturity date are not
counted as one of the 12 free transfers of accumulated values in the account.

When the contract holder requests the transfer of a specific dollar amount, we
account for any applicable MVA in determining the amount to be withdrawn from a
guaranteed term(s) to fulfill the request. Therefore, the amount we actually
withdraw from the guaranteed term(s) may be more or less than the requested
dollar amount (see "Appendix I" for an example). For more information on
transfers, see the contract prospectus.

WITHDRAWALS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Sidebar]
GUARANTEED TERM GROUP--A grouping of deposits or investments having the same
guaranteed term.
[End Sidebar]
The contract allows for full or partial withdrawals from the Guaranteed Account
at any time during the accumulation phase. To make a full or partial withdrawal,
a request form (available from us) must be properly completed and submitted to
our Service Center.

Partial withdrawals are made pro rata from a guaranteed term group. From each
guaranteed term group, we will first withdraw funds from the oldest deposit
period, then from the next oldest and so on.

We may apply an MVA to withdrawals made prior to the end of a guaranteed term,
except for withdrawals made under the maturity value transfer provision (see
"Market Value Adjustment"). We may deduct an early withdrawal charge and
maintenance fee. The early withdrawal charge is a deferred sales charge which
may be deducted upon withdrawal to reimburse us for some of the sales and
administrative expenses associated with the contract. A maintenance fee, up to
$30, may be deducted pro rata from each of the funding options, including the
Guaranteed Account. Refer to the contract prospectus for a description of these
charges. When a request for a partial withdrawal of a specific dollar amount is
made, we will include the MVA in determining the amount to be withdrawn from the
guaranteed term(s) to fulfill the request. Therefore, the amount we actually
take from the guaranteed term(s) may be more or less than the dollar amount
requested. See "Appendix I" for an example.

DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS
Under certain emergency conditions, we may defer payment of a Guaranteed Account
withdrawal for up to six months. Refer to the contract prospectus for more
details.

REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE
You may elect to reinstate all or a portion of a full withdrawal during the 30
days following such a withdrawal. We must receive amounts for reinstatement
within 60 days of the withdrawal.

We will apply reinstated amounts to the current deposit period. This means that
the guaranteed annual interest rate and guaranteed terms available on the date
of reinstatement will apply. Amounts are reinstated in the same proportion as
prior to the full withdrawal. We will not credit your account for market value
adjustments that we deducted at the time of withdrawal or refund any taxes that
were withheld. Refer to the contract prospectus for further details.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (MVA)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We apply an MVA to amounts transferred or withdrawn from the Guaranteed Account
prior to the end of a guaranteed term. To accommodate early withdrawals or
transfers, we may need to liquidate certain assets or use cash that could
otherwise be invested at current interest rates. When we sell assets prematurely
we could realize a profit or loss depending upon market conditions.

The MVA reflects changes in interest rates since the deposit period. When
interest rates increase after the deposit period, the value of the investment
decreases and the MVA amount may be negative. Conversely, when interest rates
decrease after the deposit period, the value of the investment increases and
the MVA amount may be positive. Therefore, the application of an MVA may
increase or decrease the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term to satisfy a
withdrawal or transfer request.

An MVA will not apply to:
- - Amounts transferred or withdrawn at the end of a guaranteed term;
- - Transactions made under the maturity value transfer provision;
- - Transfers due to participation in the dollar cost averaging program*;
- - Amounts distributed under a systematic distribution option--see "Systematic
Distribution Options" in the contract prospectus;
- - Withdrawals for minimum distributions required by the Tax Code and for
which the early withdrawal charge is waived; and
- - Withdrawals due to your exercise of the right to cancel your contract. See
the "Right to Cancel" section of the contract prospectus.

*If you discontinue the dollar cost averaging program and transfer the amounts
in it, subject to the Company's terms and conditions governing guaranteed terms,
to another guaranteed term, an MVA will apply.

- - Withdrawals due to the election of a lifetime income option; and
- - Unless otherwise noted, payment of a guaranteed death benefit (if paid
within the first six months following death).

All other withdrawals will be subject to an aggregate MVA, regardless of
whether it is positive or negative, including:

- - Full or partial withdrawals during the accumulation phase (an MVA may not
apply in certain situations, as noted above).

[Sidebar]
AGGREGATE MVA--The total of all MVAs applied due to a transfer or withdrawal.

CALCULATION OF THE AGGREGATE MVA-- In order to satisfy a transfer or withdrawal,
amounts may be withdrawn from more than one guaranteed term, with more than one
guaranteed interest rate. In order to determine the MVA applicable to such a
transfer or withdrawel, the MVAs applicable to each guaranteed term will be
added together, in order to determine the "aggregate MVA."

Example:
$1,000 withdrawal, two guaranteed terms, MVA1 = $10, MVA2 = $-30
$10 + $-30 = $-20. Aggregate MVA = $-20.

Example:
$1,000 withdrawal, two guaranteed terms, MVA1 = $30, MVA2 = $-10
$30 + $-10 = $20. Aggregate MVA = $20.
[End Sidebar]
11

CALCULATION OF THE MVA
The amount of the MVA depends upon the relationship
between:

- - The deposit period yield of U.S. Treasury Notes that will mature in the
last quarter of the guaranteed term; and
- - The current yield of such U. S. Treasury Notes at the time of withdrawal.

If the current yield is less than the deposit period yield, the MVA will
decrease the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term to satisfy a transfer or
withdrawal request (the MVA will be positive). If the current yield is
greater than the deposit period yield, the MVA will increase the amount
withdrawn from a guaranteed term (the MVA will be negative or detrimental to
the investor).

DEPOSIT PERIOD YIELD

We determine the deposit period yield used in the MVA calculation by
considering interest rates prevailing during the deposit period of the
guaranteed term from which the transfer or withdrawal will be made. First, we
identify the Treasury Notes that mature in the last three months of the
guaranteed term. Then, we determine their yield-to-maturity percentages for
the last business day of each week in the deposit period. We then average the
resulting percentages to determine the deposit period yield.

Treasury Note information may be found each business day in publications such
as the Wall Street Journal, which publishes the yield-to-maturity percentages
for all Treasury Notes as of the preceding business day.

CURRENT YIELD
We use the same Treasury Notes identified for the deposit period yield to
determine the current yield--Treasury Notes that mature in the last three
months of the guaranteed term. However, we use the yield-to-maturity
percentages for the last business day of the week preceding the withdrawal
and average those percentages to get the current yield.

MVA FORMULA
The mathematical formula used to determine the MVA is:
x
-----
365
{ (1+i) }
{ --------- }
{ (1+j) }

where i is the deposit period yield; j is the current yield; and X is the
number of days remaining (computed from Wednesday of the week of withdrawal)
in the guaranteed term. (For examples of how we calculate MVA, refer to
Appendix I.)

We make an adjustment in the formula of the MVA to reflect the period of time
remaining in the guaranteed term from the Wednesday of the week of a
withdrawal.

CONTRACT CHARGES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Certain charges may be deducted directly or indirectly from the funding options
available under the contract, including the Guaranteed Account.

The contract may have a maintenance fee of up to $30 that we will deduct, on an
annual basis, pro rata from all funding options including the Guaranteed
Account. We may also deduct a maintenance fee upon full withdrawal of a
contract.

The contract may have an early withdrawal charge that we will deduct, if
applicable, upon a full or partial withdrawal from the contract. If the
withdrawal occurs prior to the maturity of a guaranteed term, both the early
withdrawal charge and an MVA may be assessed.

We do not deduct mortality and expense risk charges and other asset-based
charges that may apply to variable funding options from the Guaranteed Account.
These charges are only applicable to the variable funding options.

We may deduct premium taxes of up to 4% from amounts in the Guaranteed Account.

During the accumulation phase, transfer fees of up to $10 per transfer may be
deducted from amounts held in or transferred from the Guaranteed Account.

Refer to the contract prospectus for details on contract deductions.

OTHER TOPICS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE COMPANY
We are a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the
State of Connecticut in 1990 and redomesticated under the insurance laws of the
State of Florida on January 5, 2000. We are an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
of ING Groep N.V., a global financial institution active in the fields of
insurance, banking and asset management.

Our principal executive offices are located at:
5100 West Lemon Street
Suite 213
Tampa, Florida 33609

INCOME PHASE
The Guaranteed Account may not be used as a funding option during the income
phase. Amounts invested in guaranteed terms must be transferred to one or more
of the options available to fund income payments before income payments can
begin.

An aggregate MVA, as previously described, may be applied to amounts transferred
to fund income payments before the end of a guaranteed term. Amounts used to
fund lifetime income payments will receive either a positive aggregate MVA or
none at all; however, amounts transferred to fund a nonlifetime income payment
option may receive either a positive or negative aggregate MVA.

Refer to the contract prospectus for a discussion of the income phase.

INVESTMENTS

Amounts applied to the Guaranteed Account will be deposited to a nonunitized
separate account established under Florida law. (Prior to January 5, 2000,
these amounts were held in an a nonunitized separate account established
under Connecticut law.) A nonunitized separate account is a separate account
in which the contract holder does not participate in the performance of the
assets through unit values or any other interest. Contract holders allocating
funds to the nonunitized separate account do not receive a unit value of
ownership of assets accounted for in this separate account. The risk of
investment gain or loss is borne entirely by the Company. All Company
obligations due to allocations to the nonunitized separate account are
contractual guarantees of the Company and are accounted for in the separate
account. All of the general assets of the Company are available to meet our
contractual guarantees. To the extent provided for in the applicable
contract, the assets of the nonunitized separate account are not chargeable
with liabilities resulting from any other business of the Company. Income,
gains and losses of the separate account are credited to or charged against
the separate account without regard to other income, gains or losses of the
Company.

TYPES OF INVESTMENTS. We intend to invest primarily in investment-grade fixed
income securities including:
- - Securities issued by the United States Government;
- - Issues of United States Government agencies or instrumentalities (these
issues may or may not be guaranteed by the United States Government);
- - Debt securities which have an investment grade, at the time of purchase,
within the four highest grades assigned by Moody's Investors Services, Inc.
(Aaa, Aa, A or Baa), Standard & Poor's Corporation (AAA, AA, A or BBB) or
any other nationally-recognized rating service;
- - Other debt instruments, including those issued or guaranteed by banks
or bank holding companies, and of corporations, which although not
rated by Moody's, Standard & Poor's, or other nationally recognized
rating services, are deemed by the Company's management to have an
investment-quality comparable to securities which may be purchased as
stated above; and
- - Commercial paper, cash or cash equivalents and other short-term investments
having a maturity of less than one year which are considered by the
Company's management to have investment quality comparable to securities
which may be purchased as stated above.

We may invest in futures and options. We purchase financial futures, related
options and options on securities solely for non-speculative hedging
purposes. Should securities prices be expected to decline, we may sell a
futures contract or purchase a put option on futures or securities to protect
the value of securities held in or to be sold for the nonunitized separate
account. Similarly, if securities prices are expected to rise, we may
purchase a futures contract or a call option against anticipated positive
cash flow or may purchase options on securities.

WE ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO INVEST THE ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE CONTRACT
ACCORDING TO ANY PARTICULAR STRATEGY, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY FLORIDA AND OTHER
STATE INSURANCE LAWS. THE GUARANTEED INTEREST RATES ESTABLISHED BY THE
COMPANY MAY NOT NECESSARILY RELATE TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE NONUNITIZED
SEPARATE ACCOUNT.

APPENDIX I
EXAMPLES OF MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT CALCULATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following are examples of market value adjustment (MVA) calculations
using several hypothetical deposit period yields and current yields. These
examples do not include the effect of any early withdrawal charge or other
fees or deductions that may be assessed under the contract upon withdrawal.

EXAMPLE I

Assumptions:

i, the deposit period yield, is 8%

j, the current yield, is 10%

x, the number of days remaining (computed from Wednesday of
the week of withdrawal) in the guaranteed term, is 927.
x
-----
365
MVA = { (1+i) }
{ --------- }
{ (1+j) }

927
----
365
= { (1.08) }
{ ---------- }
{ (1.10) }
=.9545

In this example, the deposit period yield of 8% is less than the current yield
of 10%; therefore, the MVA is less than one. The amount withdrawn from the
guaranteed term is multiplied by this MVA.

If a withdrawal or transfer of a specific dollar amount is requested, the
amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term will be increased to compensate for
the negative MVA amount. For example, a withdrawal request to receive a check
for $2,000 would result in a $2,095.34 withdrawal from the guaranteed term.

Assumptions:

i, the deposit period yield, is 5%

j, the current yield, is 6%

x, the number of days remaining (computed from Wednesday
of the week of withdrawal) in the guaranteed term, is 927.
x
---
365
MVA = { (1+i) }
{ --------- }
{ (1+j) }

927
---
365
= { (1.05) }
{ ---------- }
{ (1.06) }

=.9762

In this example, the deposit period yield of 5% is less than the current
yield of 6%; therefore, the MVA is less than one. The amount withdrawn from
the guaranteed term is multiplied by this MVA.

EXAMPLE II

Assumptions:

i, the deposit period yield, is 10%

j, the current yield, is 8%

x, the number of days remaining (computed from Wednesday of
the week of withdrawal) in the guaranteed term, is 927.

x
-----
365
MVA = { (1+i) }
{ --------- }
{ (1+j) }

927
-----
365
= { (1.10) }
{ ---------- }
{ (1.08) }
=1.0477

In this example, the deposit period yield of 10% is greater than the current
yield of 8%; therefore, the MVA is greater than one. The amount withdrawn from
the guaranteed term is multiplied by this MVA.

If a withdrawal or transfer of a specific dollar amount is requested, the
amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term will be decreased to compensate for
the positive MVA amount. For example, a withdrawal request to receive a check
for $2,000 would result in a $1,908.94 withdrawal from the guaranteed term.

Assumptions:

i, the deposit period yield, is 5%

j, the current yield, is 4%

x, the number of days remaining (computed from Wednesday of
the week of withdrawal) in the guaranteed term, is 927.

x
----
365
MVA = { (1+i) }
{ --------- }
{ (1+j) }

927
----
365
= { (1.05) }
{ ---------- }
{ (1.04) }

=.1.0246

In this example, the deposit period yield of 5% is greater than the current
yield of 4%; therefore, the MVA is greater than one. The amount withdrawn from
the guaranteed term is multiplied by this MVA.

APPENDIX II
EXAMPLES OF MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT YIELDS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following hypothetical examples show the MVA based upon a given current
yield at various times remaining in the guaranteed term. Table A illustrates the
application of the MVA based upon a deposit period yield of 10%; Table B
illustrates the application of the MVA based upon a deposit period yield of 5%.
The MVA will have either a positive or negative influence on the amount
withdrawn from or remaining in a guaranteed term. Also, the amount of the MVA
generally decreases as the end of the guaranteed term approaches.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Florida Statutes chapter 607.0859 governs the indemnification of officers,
directors, employees and agents of a Florida corporation. Section 607.0859(1)
provides that a corporation may indemnify a person who is or was a party to a
proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or in certain other defined
circumstances) against liability (defined as obligations to pay a judgment,
settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to
any employee benefit plan, and expenses actually and reasonably incurred with
respect to the proceeding). Section 607.0859(2) provides that a corporation
may indemnify a person who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason that
the person is or was connected to the corporation as noted in subsection (1)
against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the
judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the
proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal.
Indemnification under both subsection (1) and (2) is subject to a
determination that the person seeking indemnification has met the standard of
conduct set forth in the applicable subsection. However, pursuant to section
607.0859(3), to the extent that the person seeking indemnification has been
successful in defense of any proceeding, claim or issue referred to in
subsection (1) or (2), that person shall be indemnified against expenses that
he or she actually and reasonably incurred. Expenses incurred by an officer
or director in defending any such proceeding may be paid in advance of the
final disposition of the proceeding, provided that such person undertakes to
repay any such amount if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to section 607.0850. Expenses incurred by other
employees or agents may be advanced upon such terms and conditions deemed
appropriate by the board of directors.

Section 607.0850(4) provides that any indemnification under subsection (1) or
(2), unless made pursuant to a determination by a court, shall be made only
as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that that
indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the party has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsection (1) or (2). Such
determination may be made (a) by the disinterested directors, pursuant to
section 607.0850(4)(a); (b) by a committee duly designated by the board of
directors, pursuant to section 607.0850(4)(b); (c) by independent legal
counsel, pursuant to section 607.0850(4)(c); or (d) by the shareholders,
pursuant to section 607.0850(4)(d). The reasonableness of expenses and
authorization of indemnification shall be made in the same manner, except as
otherwise required by section 607.0850(5).

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of section 607.0850
are not exclusive, and a corporation may make other or further provisions for
the indemnification or

advancement of expenses of parties identified in section 607.0850(1), except
as otherwise prohibited by section 607.0850(7). Indemnification and
advancement of expenses may also be ordered by a court of competent
jurisdiction, pursuant to section 607.0850(9). Section 607.0850(12)
specifically authorizes a corporation to procure indemnification insurance on
behalf of an individual who was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation. Consistent with this statute, ING Groep N.V. has procured
insurance from Lloyd's of London and several major United States excess
insurers for its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its
subsidiary, including the Depositor.
