               TRANSAMERICA OCCIDENTAL'S SEPARATE ACCOUNT FUND B

                                 ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Investor:

PERFORMANCE

For the year ended December 31, 2003, Transamerica Occidental's Separate Account
Fund B returned 30.58%. By comparison its benchmark, the S&P 500 returned
28.67%.

PORTFOLIO COMMENTS

After a disappointing start, U.S. equity markets began a broad rally in March
that ultimately embraced all but a few industries. Initially, the rebound was
fueled primarily by anticipation of a stronger economy and earnings
improvements. Much of corporate America has spent the past several years cutting
operating costs and removing debt from its balance sheet. As the economic
expansion picked up steam, investors expected to see the fruits of this
corporate restructuring, in the form of more revenues flowing to the bottom
line.

By the final quarter of the year, earnings by and large met or exceeded
expectations. Investors concluded that corporate profitability had finally
turned the proverbial corner, and the market surged. The Standard and Poor's 500
Composite Stock Index ("S&P 500") rose more than 28% for the year, led by
industries associated with electronics, the Internet and telecommunications and,
to a lesser extent, by economically sensitive industries like metals and mining,
hotels/restaurants, and automobiles.

MARKET OUTLOOK

After several years of corporate deleveraging and cost reduction, revenues are
increasingly becoming profits, making for a positive earnings trend. We believe
that trend will continue in 2004, aided in part by increased capital spending.
At the same time, we also believe the market has factored much of the rise in
earnings into current stock prices. Therefore, we anticipate more moderate
returns than those garnered in 2003. We will be watchful of overvaluation as the
year unfolds and careful to divest overpriced securities in favor of better
opportunities.

               TRANSAMERICA OCCIDENTAL'S SEPARATE ACCOUNT FUND B

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Transamerica Occidental's Separate Account Fund B (the Fund) is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end diversified investment
company. The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital growth.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change
in the future as additional information becomes known which could impact the
amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Security valuations

     Investments traded on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the
day of valuation on the exchange where the security is principally traded. With
respect to securities traded on the NASDAQ INMS, such closing price may be the
last quoted price or the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities traded in the
over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on
that date are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investment company securities
are valued at the net asset value ("NAV") of the underlying portfolio. Other
securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair
value determined in good faith, in accordance with procedures established by and
under the supervision of the Board of Managers of the Fund's Valuation
Committee.

Security transactions and investment income

     The cost of securities purchased (excluding short-term investments) and
proceeds from sales aggregated $18,204,736 and $20,792,162, respectively, in
December 2003. The Fund had net unrealized gains of $17,402,195 at December 31,
2003 related to these investments. Realized gains and losses on investments are
determined using the average cost method. Security transactions are recorded on
the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the
case of foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend
date. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of
premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis commencing on settlement date.

Cash Equivalents

     Cash equivalents consist of money market funds invested daily from excess
cash balances on deposit.

Federal Income Taxes

     Operations of the Fund form a part of, and are taxed with, those of
Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company (Transamerica Occidental Life),
which is taxed as a "life insurance

                                        6


company" under the Internal Revenue Code. Under the current Internal Revenue
Code law, the investment income of the Fund, including realized and unrealized
capital gains is not taxable to Transamerica Occidental Life as long as the
earnings are credited under the Contract. Accordingly, no provision for Federal
income taxes has been made.

Expenses

     The value of the Fund has been reduced by charges on each valuation date
for investment management services on the basis of an annual rate of 0.3% and
mortality and expense risks on the basis of an annual rate of 1.0%.

NOTE B -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     As of December 31, 2003, Transamerica Occidental Life had deposited
$2,000,000 (current fund value of $67,374,975) in the Fund under an amendment to
the California Insurance Code which permits domestic life insurers to allocate
amounts to such accounts. Transamerica Occidental Life is entitled to withdraw
all but $100,000 of its proportionate share of the Fund, in whole or in part, at
any time.

     AEGON/Transamerica Fund Advisers, Inc ("ATFA") is the Fund's investment
adviser. ATFA is a directly owned subsidiary of Western Reserve Life Assurance
Co. of Ohio (78%) ("WRL") and AUSA (22%). AUSA and WRL are wholly owned indirect
subsidiaries of AEGON NV a Netherlands corporation. Transamerica Investment
Management, LLC is both an affiliate of the fund and the sub-adviser to the
Fund. The Fund pays management fees to ATFA based on average daily net assets at
the stated rate of 0.30%.

NOTE C -- INVESTMENT ADVISORY ARRANGEMENTS

     No remuneration was paid during 2003 by Transamerica Occidental's Separate
Account Fund B to any member of the Board of Managers or officer of Fund B or
any affiliated person of such members or officers.

     At a meeting of Fund B Contract Owners held on December 16, 2003, Contract
Owners approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the
reorganization of Fund B as a unit investment trust that invests all of its
assets in Transamerica Equity II, a mutual fund with investment objectives,
policies, strategies and restrictions that are substantially similar to those of
Fund B. As an initial step toward effecting the reorganization of Fund B,
effective as of immediately after the close of business on December 30, 2003,
all of the assets and liabilities (other than liabilities attributable to
insurance charges) of Fund B were transferred, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, to Transamerica Equity II in exchange for shares of Transamerica
Equity II equivalent in value to the assets received from Fund B, less the
liabilities assumed. Accordingly, Fund B now pursues its investment objective by
investing substantially all of its investable assets in Transamerica Equity II
which, in turn, invests directly in a portfolio of securities and other
investments formerly held directly by Fund B.

                                        7


NOTE D -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Fund B completed the reorganization by converting from a management
investment company to a unit investment trust January 29, 2004. As a unit
investment trust, Fund B will continue to invest exclusively in shares of
Transamerica Equity II, which is a series of AEGON/Transamerica Series Fund,
Inc.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Contractholders and Board of Managers, Transamerica Occidental's
  Separate Account Fund B
Board of Directors, Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Transamerica Occidental's Separate Account Fund B, as of December 31, 2003, the
related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and
the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of
the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Transamerica Occidental's Separate Account Fund B at December 31, 2003, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights
for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
