Title of Securities Being Registered: Flexible Premium Deferred Variable Annuity Contracts

SCHWAB ONESOURCE ANNUITY®

A flexible premium variable annuity

Issued by

Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

Overview

This Prospectus describes the Schwab OneSource Annuity, formerly the Schwab Signature Annuity (the “Contract”) — a flexible premium variable annuity contract that allows you to accumulate assets on a tax-deferred basis for retirement or other long-term purposes. Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“we,” “us,” “Great-West” or “GWL&A”) issues the Contract either on a group basis or as individual contracts. Participants in the group contract will be issued a certificate showing an interest under the group contract. Both will be referred to as “Contract” throughout this Prospectus. The group Contract is offered to: (a) existing customers of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”); and (b) individuals that have entered into a contract to receive advisory services from independent investment advisors that have an existing contractual relationship with Schwab.

This Prospectus presents important information you should review before purchasing the Schwab OneSource Annuity. Please read it carefully and keep it for future reference. You can find more detailed information pertaining to the Contract in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) dated May 1, 2008 (as may be amended from time to time), and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The SAI is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus as a matter of law, which means it is legally a part of this Prospectus. The SAI’s table of contents may be found on the last page of this Prospectus. You may obtain a copy without charge by contacting Schwab Insurance Services at the above address or phone number. Or, you can obtain it by visiting the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. This web site also contains other information about us that has been filed electronically.

How to Invest

We refer to amounts you invest in the Contract as “Contributions.” The minimum initial Contribution is $5,000. Additional Contributions can be made at any time before you begin receiving annuity payments or taking periodic withdrawals.

Owner (Joint Owner) or You—The person(s) named in the application who is entitled to exercise all rights and privileges under the Contract, while the Annuitant is living.

A Proportional Withdrawal is determined by calculating the percentage the withdrawal represents of your Annuity Account Value at the time the withdrawal was made.

Proportional Withdrawals, continued—For example, a partial withdrawal of 75% of the Annuity Account Value represents a Proportional Withdrawal of 75% of the total Contributions for purposes of calculating the Death Benefit under option 2 for Contracts issued after April 30, 2004.

Sub-Account—A division of the Series Account containing the shares of a Portfolio. There is a Sub-Account for each Portfolio. Sub-Account may be also referred to as “investment division” in the Prospectus, SAI, or Series Account financial statements.

Surrender Value —Your Annuity Account Value on the Transaction Date of the surrender, less Premium Tax, if any.

Transaction Date—The date on which any Contribution or Request from you will be processed. Contributions and Requests received after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. EST/EDT) will be deemed to have been received on the next business day. Requests will be processed and the Annuity Account Value will be determined on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.

Transfer—Moving money from and among the Sub-Account(s).

THE ABOVE EXPENSES FOR THE ELIGIBLE FUNDS WERE PROVIDED BY THE PORTFOLIOS. WE HAVE NOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION.

_________________________

The expenses shown are based, in part, on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year, and do not reflect any fee waiver or expense reimbursement. The advisers and/or other service providers of certain Portfolios have agreed to reduce their fees and/or reimburse the Portfolios' expenses in order to keep the Portfolios' expenses below specified limits. The expenses of certain Portfolios are reduced by contractual fee reduction and expense reimbursement arrangements. Other Portfolios have voluntary fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangements that may be terminated at any time. Each fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangement is not reflected above, but is described in the relevant Portfolio's prospectus.

Example

 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Owner transaction expenses, contract fees, Series Account annual expenses, and Portfolio fees and expenses.

 

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of any of the Portfolios. In addition, this Example assumes no transfers were made and no premium taxes were deducted. If these arrangements were considered, the expenses shown would be higher. This Example also does not take into consideration any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements of the Portfolio. If these arrangements were taken into consideration, the expenses shown would be lower.

 

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

If you surrender your Contract, annuitize your Contract OR if you do not surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

 

 

1 year

3 years

5 years

10 years

 

$279

$897

$1,606

$3,842

 

 

This Example does not show the effect of premium taxes. Premium taxes (ranging from 0% to 3.5%) are deducted from Contract Value upon full surrender, death, or annuitization. This Example also does not include any of the taxes or penalties you may be required to pay if you surrender your Contract.

 

The fee table and example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses and charges of the Sub-accounts. Your actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. Similarly, the 5% annual rate of return assumed in the example is not an estimate or a guarantee of future investment performance. See "Charges and Deductions" in this Prospectus. Owners who purchase the Contract may be eligible to apply the contract value to the total amount of their household assets maintained at Schwab. If the total amount of their household assets at Schwab meets certain predetermined breakpoints, they may be eligible for certain fee reductions or other related benefits offered by Schwab. All terms and conditions regarding the fees and account types eligible for such consideration are determined by Schwab. Charges and expenses of the variable annuity contract described in this Prospectus are NOT subject to reduction or waiver by Schwab. Please consult a Charles Schwab representative for more information.

Condensed Financial Information

Attached as Appendix A is a table showing selected information concerning accumulation units for each Sub-Account. An accumulation unit is the unit of measure that we use to calculate the value of your interest in a Sub-Account. The accumulation unit values reflect the deduction of the only charge we impose under the Contract, the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. The information in the table is derived from various financial statements of the Series Account, which have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. To obtain a more complete picture of each Sub-Account’s finances and performance, you should also review the Series Account’s financial statements, which are in the Statement of Additional Information.

Summary

The Schwab OneSource Annuity allows you to accumulate assets on a tax-deferred basis by investing in a variety of variable investment options (the Sub-Accounts). The performance of your Annuity Account Value will vary with the investment performance of the Portfolios corresponding to the Sub-Accounts you select. You bear the entire investment risk for all amounts invested in them. Depending on the performance of the Sub-Accounts you select, your Annuity Account Value could be less than the total amount of your Contributions.

You may purchase the Schwab OneSourceAnnuity through a 1035 Exchange from another insurance contract. However, in no event, may you purchase the Contract as a part of a tax-qualified plan or a rollover of amounts from such a plan, including an IRA.

How to contact Schwab Insurance Services:

P.O. Box 7666

San Francisco, CO 94120-9639

800-838-0650

Your initial Contribution must be at least $5,000. Subsequent Contributions must be either $500; or $100 if made through an Automatic Bank Draft Plan.

The money you contribute to the Contract will be invested at your direction, except that in some states during your “Right of Cancellation period” your payment will be allocated to the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account. The duration of your Right of Cancellation period depends on your state law and is generally 10 days after you receive your Contract. Allocations during the Right of Cancellation period are described in more detail in this Prospectus.

Prior to the Payout Commencement Date, you can withdraw all or a part of your Annuity Account Value. There are no surrender or withdrawal charges. Certain withdrawals will normally be subject to federal income tax and may also be subject to a federal penalty tax. You may also pay a Premium Tax upon a withdrawal.

When you’re ready to start taking money out of your Contract, you can select from a variety of payout options, including a lump sum payment or variable annuity payouts as well as periodic payouts.

If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, we will pay the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary you select. If the Owner dies before the entire value of the Contract is distributed, the remaining value will be distributed according to the rules outlined in the “Death Benefit” section on page 28.

The amount distributed to your Beneficiary will depend on the Death Benefit option you select. We offer two Death Benefit options. For Option 1, the Owner, Annuitant, and Contingent Annuitant each must be age 85 or younger at the time the Contract is issued. Option 1 provides for the payment of your Annuity Account Value minus any Premium Tax. For Option 2, the Owner, Annuitant, and Contingent Annuitant each must be age 80 or younger at the time the Contract is issued. For Contracts issued prior to April 30, 2004, Option 2 provides for the payment of the greater of (1) your Annuity Account Value, minus any Premium Tax or (2) the sum of Contributions applied to the Contract as of the date the request for payment is received, less partial withdrawals, periodic withdrawals, and premium tax, if any. For Contracts issued on or after April 30, 2004, Option 2 provides for the payment of the greater of (1) your Annuity Account Value, minus any Premium Tax or (2) the sum of all Contributions, minus any Proportional Withdrawals you have made and minus any Premium Tax. If you select Death Benefit option 1, your Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be 0.65%. If you choose Death Benefit option 2, this charge will be 0.85%. For Contracts issued prior to May 1, 2003, if you selected Death Benefit option 2, this charge will remain at 0.70%. In addition, each Portfolio assesses a charge for management fees and other expenses.

 

10

You may cancel your Contract during the Right of Cancellation period by sending it to Schwab Insurance Services or to the representative from whom you purchased it. If you are replacing an existing insurance contract with the Contract, the Right of Cancellation period may be extended based on your state of residence. The Right of Cancellation period is described in more detail in this Prospectus.

This summary highlights some of the more significant aspects of the Schwab OneSourceAnnuity. You’ll find more detailed information about these topics throughout the Prospectus and in your Contract. Please keep them both for future reference

Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

Great-West is a stock life insurance company that was originally organized under the laws of the state of Kansas as the National Interment Association. Our name was changed to Ranger National Life Insurance Company in 1963 and to Insuramerica Corporation prior to changing to our current name in 1982. In September of 1990, we re-domesticated under the laws of the State of Colorado. Our executive office is located at 8515 East Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111.

Great-West is a wholly owned subsidiary of GWL&A Financial, Inc., a Delaware holding company. GWL&A Financial, Inc. is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco Inc., a Canadian holding company. Great-West Lifeco Inc. is a subsidiary of Power Financial Corporation, a Canadian holding company with substantial interests in the financial services industry. Power Financial Corporation is a subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada, a Canadian holding and management company. Mr. Paul Desmarais, through a group of private holding companies that he controls, has voting control of Power Corporation of Canada.

We are authorized to do business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam.

The Series Account

We established the Series Account in accordance with Colorado laws on July 24, 1995.

The Series Account is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended, as a unit investment trust. Registration under the 1940 Act does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management or investment practices or policies of the Series Account.

We own the assets of the Series Account. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to the Series Account are credited to or charged against the Series Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.

We will at all times maintain assets in the Series Account with a total market value at least equal to the reserves and other liabilities relating to the variable benefits under all Contracts and other of our variable insurance products participating in the Series Account. Those assets may not be charged with our liabilities from our other businesses. Our obligations under the Contracts and other products are, however, our general corporate obligations.

In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including Series Account assets that are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits, which reduce our overall corporate income tax liability, may include dividends received deductions and foreign tax credits which can be material. We do not pass these benefits through to the Series Account or our other separate accounts, principally because: (i) the great bulk of the benefits results from the dividends received deduction, which involves no reduction in the dollar amount of dividends that the Series Account receives; and (ii) under applicable income tax law, Owners are not the owners of the assets generating the benefits.

The Series Account is divided into 66 Sub-Accounts, 51 of which are currently available and 15 of which no longer accept new Contributions or incoming Transfers (including Automatic Custom Transfers). Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a corresponding investment Portfolio of a registered investment company (commonly known as a mutual fund). We may in the future add new or delete existing Sub-Accounts. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to each Sub-Account are credited to or charged against that Sub-Account without regard to the other income, gains or losses of the other Sub-Accounts. All amounts allocated to a Sub-Account will be fully invested in Portfolio shares.

We hold the assets of the Series Account. We keep those assets physically segregated and held separate and apart from our general account assets. We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the Portfolios.

The Portfolios

The Contract offers a number of Portfolios, corresponding to the Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests in a single Portfolio. Each Portfolio is a separate mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. More comprehensive information, including

 

11

a discussion of potential risks, is found in the current prospectuses for the Portfolios (the “Portfolio Prospectuses”). The Portfolio Prospectuses should be read in connection with this Prospectus. You may obtain a copy of the Portfolio Prospectuses without charge by Request.

Each Portfolio:

holds its assets separately from the assets of the other Portfolios,

operates as a separate investment fund.

The income, gains and losses of one Portfolio generally have no effect on the investment performance of any other Portfolio.

The Portfolios are not available to the general public directly. The Portfolios are only available as investment options in variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies issued by life insurance companies or, in some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.

Some of the Portfolios have been established by investment advisers, which manage publicly available mutual funds having similar names and investment objectives. While some of the Portfolios may be similar to, and may in fact be modeled after publicly available mutual funds, you should understand that the Portfolios are not otherwise directly related to any publicly available mutual fund. Consequently, the investment performance of publicly available mutual funds and any corresponding Portfolios may differ. The investment objectives of the Portfolios are briefly described below:

PIMCO VIT Low Duration Portfolio–Administrative Class Shares seeks maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management. The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed income instruments of varying maturities. The average portfolio duration of this Portfolio normally varies within a one- to three-year time frame based on PIMCO's forecast for interest rates. The Portfolio invests primarily in investment grade debt securities, but may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high- yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's or S&P, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Portfolio may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies, and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Portfolio will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Portfolio may invest all of its assets in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities. The Portfolio may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls). The "total return" sought by the Portfolio consists of income earned on the Portfolio's investments, plus capital appreciation, if any, which generally arises from decreases in interest rates or improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security.

Third Avenue Variable Series Trust—advised by Third Avenue Management LLC, of New York, New York.

Third Avenue Value Portfolio–Variable Series Trust Shares -seeks long-term capital appreciation mainly by acquiring common stocks of well-financed companies (meaning companies without significant liabilities in comparison to their overall resources) at a discount to what the adviser believes is their intrinsic value.

Acquisitions of these senior securities and debt instruments will generally be limited to those providing: (1) protection against the issuer taking certain actions which could reduce the value of the security; and (2) above-average current yields, yields to events (e.g., acquisitions and recapitalizations), or yields to maturity. The Portfolio invests in companies regardless of market capitalization, although it frequently finds value in companies with a smaller capitalization. It also invests in both domestic and foreign securities.

Meeting Investment Objectives

Meeting investment objectives depends on various factors, including, but not limited to, how well the Portfolio managers anticipate changing economic and market conditions. There is no guarantee that any of these Portfolios will achieve their stated objectives.

Where to Find More Information About the Portfolios

Additional information about the investment objectives and policies of all the Portfolios and the investment advisory and administrative services and charges can be found in the current Portfolio Prospectuses, which can be obtained from Schwab Insurance Services. You may also visit www.schwab.com/annuities .

The Portfolio prospectuses should be read carefully before any decision is made concerning the allocation of Contributions to, or Transfers among, the Sub-Accounts.

Addition, Deletion or Substitution

Great-West does not control the Portfolios and cannot guarantee that any of the Portfolios will always be available for allocation of Contributions or Transfers. We retain the right to make changes in the Series Account and in its investments. Currently, Schwab must approve certain changes.

Great-West and Schwab reserve the right to discontinue the offering of any Portfolio. If a Portfolio is discontinued, we may substitute shares of another Portfolio or shares of another investment company for the discontinued Portfolio’s shares. Any share substitution will comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act.

If you are contributing to a Sub-Account corresponding to a Portfolio that is being discontinued, you will be given notice prior to the Portfolio’s elimination.

Based on marketing, tax, investment and other conditions, we may establish new Sub-Accounts and make them available to Owners at our discretion. Each additional Sub-Account will purchase shares in a Portfolio or in another mutual fund or investment vehicle.

If, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant, we may also eliminate one or more Sub-Accounts. Before a Sub-Account is eliminated, we will notify you and request that you reallocate the amounts invested in the Sub-Account to be eliminated.

Application and Initial Contributions

The first step to purchasing the Schwab OneSource Annuity is to complete your Contract application and submit it with your initial minimum Contribution of $5,000. Initial Contributions can be made by check (payable to GWL&A) or transferred from a Schwab brokerage account. You also may purchase the Contract through a 1035 Exchange provided that the contract you are exchanging for the Schwab OneSource Annuity has a cash value of at least $5,000.

The Contract application and any initial contributions made by check should be sent to Schwab Insurance Services, P.O. Box 7666, San Francisco, CA 9412-9639.

If your application is complete, your Contract will be issued and your Contribution will be credited within two business days after receipt by Great-West. Acceptance is subject to sufficient information in a form acceptable to us. We reserve the right to reject any application or Contribution.

If your application is incomplete, it will be completed from information Schwab has on file or you will be contacted by telephone or email to obtain the required information. If the information necessary to complete your application is not received

 

22

within five business days, we will return to you both your check and the application. If you provide consent we will retain the initial Contribution and credit it as soon as we have completed your application.

Right of Cancellation Period

During the Right of Cancellation period (ten-days or longer where required by state law), you may cancel your Contract. If you exercise your Right of Cancellation, you must return the Contract to Great-West or to the representative from whom you purchased it.

Generally, Contributions will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts you selected on the application, effective upon the Effective Date. During the Right of Cancellation period, you may change your Sub-Account allocations as well as your allocation percentages.

Contracts returned during the Right of Cancellation period will be void from the date we issued the Contract. In the majority of states, we will refund your current Annuity Account Value. This amount may be higher or lower than your Contributions, which means you bear the investment risk during the Right of Cancellation period.

Certain states require that we return the greater of your Annuity Account Value (less any surrenders, withdrawals, and distributions already received) or the amount of Contributions received. In those states, all Contributions will be processed as follows:

Amounts you specify to be allocated to one or more of the Sub-Accounts will first be allocated to the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account.

After the end of the Right of Cancellation period, the Annuity Account Value held in the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts you selected on the application.

Amounts contributed from a 1035 exchange of the Schwab Select Annuity Contract will be immediately allocated to the Sub-Accounts you have selected. If the Contract is returned, it will be void from the start. In many states, we will refund the Annuity Account Value (less any surrenders, withdrawals, and distributions already received) effective as of the Transaction Date the Contract is returned and received by us. This amount may be an amount that is higher or lower than your Contribution from the Schwab Select Annuity Contract, which means that you bear the investment risk during the Right of Cancellation period. Certain states will require that we return the greater of: (a) Contributions received, or (b) the Annuity Account Value (less any surrenders, withdrawals, and distributions already received) effective as of the Transaction Date the Contract is returned and received by us.

Subsequent Contributions

Once your application is complete and we have received your initial Contribution, you can make subsequent Contributions at any time prior to the Payout Commencement Date, as long as the Annuitant is living. Additional Contributions must be at least $500; or $100 if made via an Automatic Bank Draft Plan. Total Contributions may exceed $1,000,000 only with our prior approval.

Subsequent Contributions can be made by check or via an Automatic Bank Draft Plan directly from your bank or savings account. You can designate the date you would wish your subsequent Contributions deducted from your account each month. If you make subsequent Contributions by check, your check should be payable to GWL&A.

You will receive a confirmation of each Contribution you make upon its acceptance. Subsequent Contributions are credited the day they are received in the Annuity Service Center Department at GWL&A if they are received on a day the New York Stock Exchange is open and received prior to 4 p.m. Eastern time. Subsequent Contributions received on days the New York Stock Exchange is closed or received after 4 p.m. Eastern time on a day the New York Stock Exchange is open, will be credited the next business day.

If you cancel a purchase payment or if your check is returned due to insufficient funds, you will be responsible for any losses or fees imposed by your bank and losses that may be incurred as a result of any decline in the value of the cancelled purchase. We reserve the right to refrain from allocating Contributions to your selected Sub-Accounts until we are notified by your bank that your check has cleared.

Great-West reserves the right to modify the limitations set forth in this section.

Annuity Account Value

Before the date annuity payouts begin, the value of your Contract is the Annuity Account Value, which, before your Annuity Commencement Date, is the total dollar amount of all accumulation units credited to you for each Sub-Account. Initially, the value of each accumulation unit was set at $10.00.

Each Sub-Account's value prior to the Payout Commencement Date is equal to:

net Contributions allocated to the corresponding Sub-Account,

plus or minus any increase or decrease in the value of the assets of the Sub-Account due to investment results,

minus the daily mortality and expense risk charge, and

minus any withdrawals or Transfers from the Sub-Account.

The value of a Sub-Account's assets is determined at the end of each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular business (a valuation date). A valuation period is the period between successive valuation dates. It begins at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each valuation date and ends at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the next succeeding valuation date.

The Annuity Account Value is expected to change from valuation period to valuation period, reflecting the investment experience of the selected Sub-Account(s), as well as the deductions for applicable charges.

Upon allocating Contributions to a Sub-Account you will be credited with variable accumulation units in that Sub-Account. The number of accumulation units you will be credited is determined by dividing the portion of each Contribution allocated to the Sub-Account by the value of an accumulation unit. The value of the accumulation unit is determined and credited at the end of the valuation period during which the Contribution was received.

Each Sub-Account’s accumulation unit value is established at the end of each valuation period. It is calculated by multiplying the value of that unit at the end of the prior valuation period by the Sub-Account's Net Investment Factor for the valuation period. The formula used to calculate the Net Investment Factor is discussed in Appendix B.

Unlike a brokerage account, amounts held under a Contract are not covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”).

Transfers

At any time while your Contract is in force, you may Transfer all or part of your Annuity Account Value among and between the Sub-Accounts by telephone, in writing by sending a Request to Schwab Insurance Services, or through the Internet at www.schwab.com/annuity where you will be redirected to a Great-West website where you may make the Transfer.  Incoming Transfers to closed Sub-Accounts are not permitted.

Your Request must specify:

the amounts being Transferred,

the Sub-Account(s) from which the Transfer is to be made, and

the Sub-Account(s) that will receive the Transfer.

Currently, there is no limit on the number of Transfers you can make among the Sub-Accounts during any calendar year. However, we reserve the right to limit the number of Transfers you make. Also, there is currently no charge for Transfers. We reserve the right to impose such a charge in the future. If we choose to exercise these rights, we will notify you by sending you a supplement to this prospectus, in accordance with all applicable regulations.

A Transfer generally will be effective on the date the Request for Transfer is received by Schwab Insurance Services if received before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Any Transfer request received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time becomes effective on the following business day we and the New York Stock Exchange are open for business. Under current tax law, there will not be any tax liability to you if you make a Transfer.

Transfers involving the Sub-Accounts will result in the purchase and/or cancellation of accumulation units having a total value equal to the dollar amount being transferred. The purchase and/or cancellation of such units is made using the value of the Sub-Accounts as of the end of the valuation date on which the Transfer is effective.

We reserve the right without prior notice to modify, restrict, suspend, or eliminate the Transfer privileges (including telephone and/or Internet Transfers) at any time.

At present, we do not impose minimums on amounts that must be transferred. However, we reserve the right to impose, from time to time, minimum dollar amounts that may be transferred from a Sub-Account.

 

24

We also reserve the right to impose, from time to time, minimum dollar amounts that must remain in a Sub-Account after giving effect to a Transfer from that Sub-Account. At present, we do not impose any such minimums.

Market Timing and Excessive Trading

The Contracts are intended for long-term investment and not for the purpose of market timing or excessive trading activity. Market timing activity may dilute the interests of Contract Owners in the underlying Portfolios. Market timing generally involves frequent or unusually large Transfers that are intended to take advantage of short-term fluctuations in the value of a Portfolio's portfolio securities and the reflection of that change in the Portfolio's share price. In addition, frequent or unusually large Transfers may harm performance by increasing Portfolio expenses and disrupting Portfolio management strategies. For example, excessive trading may result in forced liquidations of portfolio securities or cause the Portfolio to keep a relatively higher cash position, resulting in increased brokerage costs and lost investment opportunities.

 

We maintain procedures designed to prevent or minimize market timing and excessive trading (collectively, “prohibited trading”) by Owners. As part of those procedures, certain of the Portfolios have instructed us to perform standardized trade monitoring, while other Portfolios perform their own monitoring and request reports of the Owner's trading activity if prohibited trading is suspected. If an Owner’s trading activity is determined to constitute prohibited trading, as defined by the applicable Portfolio, Great-West will notify the Owner that a trading restriction will be implemented if the Owner does not cease the prohibited trading. Some Portfolios may require that trading restrictions be implemented immediately without warning, in which case we will notify the Owner of the restriction imposed by the Portfolio(s), as applicable.

 

If a Portfolio determines, or, for Portfolios for which we perform trade monitoring, we determine based on the applicable Portfolio’s definition of prohibited trading, that the Owner continues to engage in prohibited trading, we will restrict the Owner from making Transfers into the identified Portfolio(s) for the period of time specified by the Portfolio(s). Restricted Owners will be permitted to make Transfers out of the identified Portfolio(s) to other available Portfolio(s). When the Portfolio’s restriction period has been met, the Owner will automatically be allowed to resume Transfers into the identified Portfolio(s).

 

For Portfolios that perform their own monitoring, the Series Account does not impose trading restrictions unless or until a Portfolio first detects and notifies us of prohibited trading activity. Accordingly, we cannot prevent all prohibited trading activity before it occurs, as it may not be possible to identify it unless and until a trading pattern is established. To the extent such Portfolios do not detect and notify us of prohibited trading or the trading restrictions we impose fail to curtail it, it is possible that a market timer may be able to make prohibited trading transactions with the result that the management of the Portfolios may be disrupted and the Owners may suffer detrimental effects such as increased costs, reduced performance, and dilution of their interests in the affected Portfolios.

 

We endeavor to ensure that our procedures are uniformly and consistently applied to all Owners, and we do not exempt any persons from these procedures. We do not enter into agreements with Owners whereby we permit prohibited trading. Subject to applicable state law and the terms of each Contract, we reserve the right without prior notice to modify, restrict, suspend or eliminate the Transfer privileges (including telephone Transfers) at any time, to require that all Transfer Requests be made by you and not by your designee, and to require that each Transfer Request be made by a separate communication to us. We also reserve the right to require that each Transfer Request be submitted in writing and be signed by you.

 

The Portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. The prospectuses for the Portfolios should describe any policies and procedures relating to restricting prohibited trading. The frequent trading policies and procedures of a Portfolio may be different, and more or less restrictive, than the frequent trading policies and procedures of other Portfolios and the policies and procedures we have adopted to discourage prohibited trading. For example, a Portfolio may impose a redemption fee. The Owner should also be aware that we are legally obligated to provide (at the Portfolios’ request) information about each amount you cause to be deposited into a Portfolio (including by way of premium payments and Transfers under your Contract) or removed from the Portfolio (including by way of withdrawals and Transfers under your Contract). If a Portfolio identifies you as having violated the Portfolio’s frequent trading policies and procedures, we are obligated, if the Portfolio requests, to restrict or prohibit any further deposits or exchanges by you in respect to that Portfolio. Under rules recently adopted by the SEC we are required to: (1) enter into a written agreement with each Portfolio or its principal underwriter that will obligate us to provide to the Portfolio promptly upon request certain information about the trading activity of individual Owners and (2) execute instructions from the Portfolio to restrict or prohibit further purchases or Transfers by specific Owners who violate the frequent trading policies established by the Portfolio. Accordingly, if you do not comply with any Portfolio’s frequent trading policies and procedures, you may be prohibited from directing any additional amounts into that Portfolio or directing any Transfers or other exchanges involving that Portfolio. You should review and comply with each Portfolio’s frequent trading policies and procedures, which are disclosed in the Portfolios’ current prospectuses.

 

We may revise our market timing and excessive trading policy and related procedures at our sole discretion, at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or appropriate to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements or to impose

 

25

 

additional or alternative restrictions on Owners engaging in prohibited trading. In addition, our orders to purchase shares of the Portfolios are generally subject to acceptance by the Portfolio, and in some cases a Portfolio may reject or reverse our purchase order. Therefore, we reserve the right to reject any Owner's Transfer Request if our order to purchase shares of the Portfolio is not accepted by, or is reversed by, an applicable Portfolio.

 

You should note that other insurance companies and retirement plans may also invest in the Portfolios and that those companies or plans may or may not have their own policies and procedures on frequent Transfers. You should also know that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Portfolios generally are "omnibus" orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans or separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts. Omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan Owners and/or individual owners of variable insurance contracts. The nature of such orders may limit the Portfolios' ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and procedures. As a result, there is a risk that the Portfolios may not be able to detect potential prohibited trading activities in the omnibus orders they receive. We cannot guarantee that the Portfolios will not be harmed by Transfer activity relating to the retirement plans and/or other insurance companies that invest in the Portfolios. If the policies and procedures of other insurance companies or retirement plans fail to successfully discourage frequent Transfer activity, it may affect the value of your investments in the Portfolios. In addition, if a Portfolio believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more Transfer Requests from a Owner engaged in frequent Transfer activity, the Portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby interfere with our ability to satisfy your Request even if you have not made frequent Transfers. For Transfers into more than one investment option, we may reject or reverse the entire Transfer Request if any part of it is not accepted by or is reversed by a Portfolio.

 

Automatic Custom Transfers

Dollar Cost Averaging

You may arrange for systematic Transfers from any open Sub-Account to any other open Sub-Account. (Transfers into closed Sub-Accounts are not permitted.) These systematic Transfers may be used to Transfer values from the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account to other Sub-Accounts as part of a dollar cost averaging strategy. Dollar cost averaging allows you to buy more units when the price is low and fewer units when the price is high. Over time, your average cost per unit may be more or less than if you invested all your money at one time. However, dollar cost averaging does not assure a greater profit, or any profit, and will not prevent or necessarily alleviate losses in a declining market. There is no charge for participating in Dollar Cost Averaging.

You can set up automatic dollar cost averaging on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis. Your Transfer will be initiated on the Transaction Date one frequency period following the date of the request. For example, if you request quarterly Transfers on January 9, your first Transfer will be made on April 9 and every three months on the 9th thereafter. Transfers will continue on that same day each interval unless terminated by you or for other reasons as set forth in the Contract.

If there are insufficient funds in the applicable Sub-Account on the date your Transfer is scheduled, your Transfer will not be made. However, your dollar cost averaging Transfers will resume once there are sufficient funds in the applicable Sub-Account. Dollar cost averaging will terminate automatically when you start taking payouts from the Contract. Dollar cost averaging Transfers must meet the following conditions:

The minimum amount that can be Transferred out of the selected Sub-Account is $100.

You must: (1) specify the dollar amount to be Transferred, (2) designate the Sub-Account(s) to which the Transfer will be made, and (3) designate the percentage of the dollar amount to be allocated to each Sub-Account into which you are Transferring money. The accumulation unit values will be determined on the Transfer date.

Average market value per unit $18.06

Investor’s average cost per unit $16.85

In the chart above, if all units had been purchased at one time at the highest unit value of $25.00, only 60 units could have been purchased with $1500. By contributing smaller amounts over time, dollar cost averaging allowed 89 units to be purchased with $1500 at an average unit price of $16.85. This investor purchased 29 more units at $1.21 less per unit than the average market value per unit of $18.06.

You may not participate in dollar cost averaging and Rebalancer at the same time.

Great-West reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate dollar cost averaging at any time.

Rebalancer

Over time, variations in each Sub-Account’s investment results will change your asset allocation plan percentages. Rebalancer allows you to automatically reallocate your Annuity Account Value to maintain your desired asset allocation. Participation in Rebalancer does not assure a greater profit, or any profit, nor will it prevent or necessarily alleviate losses in a declining market. There is no charge for participating in Rebalancer.

You can set up Rebalancer as a one-time Transfer or on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis. If you select to rebalance only once, the Transfer will take place on the Transaction Date of the request.

If you select to rebalance on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis, the first Transfer will be initiated on the Transaction Date one frequency period following the date of the request. For example, if you request quarterly Transfers on January 9, your first Transfer will be made on April 9 and every three months on the 9th thereafter. Transfers will continue on that same day each interval unless terminated by you or for other reasons as set forth in the Contract.

How Rebalancer works:

Suppose you purchased your annuity and you decided to allocate 60% of your initial contribution to stocks; 30% to bonds and 10% to cash equivalents as in this pie chart:

 

 

Now assume that stock Portfolios outperform bond Portfolios and cash equivalents over a certain period of time. Over this period, the unequal performance may alter the asset allocation of the above hypothetical plan to look like this:

 

 

 

Rebalancer automatically reallocates your Annuity Account Value to maintain your desired asset allocation. In this example, the portfolio would be reallocated back to 60% in stocks; 30% in bonds; 10% in cash equivalents.

On the Transaction Date for the specified Request, assets will be automatically reallocated to the Sub-Accounts you selected. The Rebalancer option will terminate automatically when you start taking payouts from the Contract.

Rebalancer Transfers must meet the following conditions:

Your entire Annuity Account Value must be included (except for Sub-Accounts that are closed to new Contributions and incoming Transfers).

You must specify the percentage of your Annuity Account Value that you wish allocated to each Sub-Account and the frequency of rebalancing. You may modify the allocations or stop the Rebalancer option at any time.

You may not participate in dollar cost averaging and Rebalancer at the same time.

Great-West reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Rebalancer option at any time.

 

27

Cash Withdrawals

You may withdraw all or part of your Annuity Account Value at any time during the life of the Annuitant and prior to the date annuity payouts begin by submitting a withdrawal Request to Schwab Insurance Services or via the Internet at www.schwab.com/annuity, or www.schwaballiance.com (for clients of investment managers who are Schwab Alliance customers); however, any withdrawals over $25,000 must be submitted in writing. Withdrawals are subject to the rules below and federal or state laws, rules, or regulations may also apply. The amount payable to you if you surrender your Contract is your Annuity Account Value, less any applicable Premium Tax. No withdrawals may be made after the date annuity payouts begin.

If you request a partial withdrawal, your Annuity Account Value will be reduced by the dollar amount withdrawn and your Death Benefit, if you chose option 2, will be reduced as a sum of all Proportional Withdrawals from each Sub-Account from which partial withdrawals were made by you (for Contracts issued on or after April 30, 2004).

Partial withdrawals are unlimited. However, you must specify the Sub-Account(s) from which the withdrawal is to be made. After any partial withdrawal, if your remaining Annuity Account Value is less than $2,000, then a full surrender may be required. The minimum partial withdrawal is $500.

The following terms apply to withdrawals:

Partial withdrawals or surrenders are not permitted after the date annuity payouts begin.

A partial withdrawal or a surrender will be effective upon the Transaction Date.

Withdrawal requests must be in writing with your original signature. If your instructions are not clear, your request will be denied and no surrender or partial withdrawal will be processed.

After a withdrawal of all of your Annuity Account Value, or at any time that your Annuity Account Value is zero, all your rights under the Contract will terminate.

Tax consequences of withdrawals are detailed below, but you should consult a competent tax adviser prior to authorizing a withdrawal from your Annuity Account Value.

Withdrawals to Pay Investment Manager or Financial Advisor Fees

You may request partial withdrawals from your Annuity Account Value and direct us to remit the amount withdrawn directly to your designated Investment Manager or Financial Advisor (collectively “Consultant”). A withdrawal request for this purpose must meet the $500 minimum withdrawal requirements and comply with all terms and conditions applicable to partial withdrawals, as described above. Tax consequences of withdrawals are detailed below, but you should consult a competent tax advisor prior to authorizing a withdrawal from your Annuity Account to pay Consultant fees.

Tax Consequences of Withdrawals

Withdrawals made for any purpose may be taxable—including payments made by us directly to your Consultant.

In addition, the Code may require us to withhold federal income taxes from withdrawals and report such withdrawals to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). If you request partial withdrawals to pay Consultant fees, your Annuity Account Value will be reduced by the sum of the fees paid to the Consultant and the related withholding.

You may elect, in writing, to have us not withhold federal income tax from withdrawals, unless withholding is mandatory for your Contract. If you are younger than 59½, the taxable portion of any withdrawal is generally considered to be an early withdrawal and may be subject to an additional federal penalty tax of 10%.

Some states also require withholding for state income taxes. For details about withholding, please see "Federal Tax Matters" on page 34.

Telephone and Internet Transactions

You may make Transfer requests by telephone, fax and/or by Internet. Transfer requests received before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will be made on that day at that day’s unit value. Those received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will be made on the next business day we and the New York Stock Exchange are open for business, at that day’s unit value.

We will use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, fax and/or Internet are genuine, such as:

requiring some form of personal identification prior to acting on instructions;

providing written confirmation of the transaction; and/or

tape recording the instructions given by telephone.

 

28

If we follow such procedures we will not be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.

We reserve the right to suspend telephone, fax and/or Internet transaction privileges at any time, for some or all Contracts, and for any reason. Neither partial withdrawals nor surrenders are permitted by telephone; however partial withdrawal Requests in the amount of $25,000 or less may be requested by Internet. All Requests for full surrenders, periodic withdrawals, and partial withdrawals in excess of $25,000 must be in writing.

Death Benefit

At the time you apply to purchase the Contract, you select one of the two Death Benefit options we offer. For Option 1, the Owner, Annuitant, and Contingent Annuitant each must be age 85 or younger at the time the Contract is issued. For Option 2, the Owner, Annuitant, and Contingent Annuitant each must be age 80 or younger at the time the Contract is issued. For a full description of the circumstances under which we pay the Death Benefit, please see “Distribution of Death Benefit” on page 30 of this Prospectus.

If you have selected Death Benefit option 1, the amount of the Death Benefit will be the Annuity Account Value as of the date we receive a Request for the payout of the Death Benefit, minus any Premium Tax.

For Contracts issued on or after April 30, 2004, if you have selected Death Benefit option 2, the amount of the Death Benefit will be the greater of:

 

the Annuity Account Value as of the date we receive a Request for the payout of the Death Benefit, minus any Premium Tax; or

 

the sum of all Contributions, minus any Proportional Withdrawals and minus any Premium Tax.

For example, in a rising market, where an Owner contributed $100,000 which increased to $200,000 due to market appreciation and then withdrew $150,000, the new balance is $50,000 and the Proportional Withdrawal is 75% ($150,000/$200,000 = 75%). This 75% Proportional Withdrawal is calculated against the total Contribution amount of $100,000 for a Death Benefit equal to the greater of the Annuity Account Value ($50,000) or total Contributions reduced by 75% ($100,000 reduced by 75%, or $25,000). Here, the Death Benefit would be $50,000.

Separately, if the Owner withdrew $50,000, or 25% of the Annuity Account Value, for a new balance of $150,000, the Death Benefit remains the greater of the Annuity Account Value ($150,000) or total Contributions reduced by the Proportional Withdrawal calculation ($100,000 reduced by 25%, or $75,000). Here, the Death Benefit is $150,000.

If the Owner withdraws an additional $50,000, this represents an additional Proportional Withdrawal of 33% ($50,000/$150,000 = 33%). The Death Benefit is now equal to the greater of the Annuity Account Value ($100,000) or total Contributions reduced by all the Proportional Withdrawal calculations ($100,000 reduced by 75% and then reduced by 33%, or $16,750). Here, the Death Benefit is $100,000.

In a declining market, where an Owner contributed $100,000 which declined in value due to market losses to $50,000, and the Owner then withdrew $40,000, or 80% of Annuity Account Value, the result is a new account balance of $10,000. When applying Proportional Withdrawals, here 80%, the Death Benefit is the greater of the Annuity Account Value ($10,000) or total Contributions reduced by the Proportional Withdrawal calculation ($100,000 reduced by 80%, or $20,000). Here the death benefit is $20,000.

For Contracts issued prior to April 30, 2004, if you have selected Death Benefit Option 2, the amount of the Death Benefit will be the greater of:

 

the Annuity Account Value as of the date we receive a Request for the payout of the Death Benefit, minus any Premium Tax; or

 

the sum of Contributions applied to the Contract as of the date the request for payment is received, less partial withdrawals, periodic withdrawals, and premium tax, if any.

The difference between the two Death Benefit options we offer is that the amount payable upon death (the Death Benefit) is based on different criteria for each option and there is a different Mortality and Expense Risk Charge for each. Option 2 provides for the return of Contributions in the event that amount is greater than the Annuity Account Value (minus any Premium Tax and minus any partial withdrawals for Contracts issued before April 30, 2004 or minus any Proportional Withdrawals for Contracts issued thereafter). This could happen, for example, if the Death Benefit becomes payable soon after the Contract is purchased (say, one to three years) and, during those years, while Contributions are being made, the investment markets generally are in decline. Under these circumstances, it is possible that the performance of the Sub-Accounts you select

 

29

may cause the Annuity Account Value to be less than the total amount of Contributions. If you have selected Death Benefit option 2 on a Contract, your Beneficiary would receive the greater amount, in this case, the sum of all Contributions (minus any Premium Tax and minus any partial withdrawals for Contracts issued before April 30, 2004 or minus any Proportional Withdrawals for Contracts issued thereafter). If you have selected Death Benefit option 1, your Beneficiary would receive the lesser amount, in this case, the Annuity Account Value (minus any Premium Tax).

If you choose Death Benefit Option 1, your Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is 0.65% of the average daily value of the Sub-Accounts to which you have allocated Contributions. If you choose Death Benefit option 2 (under which we incur greater mortality risks), your Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be 0.85%. For Contracts issued before May 1, 2003, if you chose Death Benefit option 2 (under which we incur greater mortality risks), your Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be 0.70%.

The Death Benefit will become payable following our receipt of the Beneficiary’s claim in good order. When an Owner or the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date and a Death Benefit is payable to a Beneficiary, the Death Benefit proceeds will remain invested according to the allocation instructions given by the Owner(s) until new allocation instructions are requested by the Beneficiary or until the Death Benefit is actually paid to the Beneficiary.

The amount of the Death Benefit will be determined as of the date we receive a Request for the payout of the Death Benefit. However, on the date a payout option is processed, the Annuity Account Value will be transferred to the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account unless the Beneficiary elects otherwise.

Subject to the distribution rules below, payout of the Death Benefit may be made as follows:

payout in a single sum, or

payout under any of the variable annuity options provided under this Contract.

In any event, no payout of benefits provided under the Contract will be allowed that does not satisfy the requirements of the Code and any other applicable federal or state laws, rules or regulations.

Beneficiary

You may select one or more Beneficiaries. If more than one Beneficiary is selected, they will share equally in any Death Benefit payable unless you indicate otherwise. You may change the Beneficiary any time before the Annuitant's death.

You may also select one or more Contingent Beneficiaries. You may change the Contingent Beneficiary before the Annuitant’s death. If one or more primary Beneficiaries are alive within 30 days after the Annuitant’s death, the Contingent Beneficiary cannot become the primary Beneficiary and any interest the Contingent Beneficiary may have in the Contract will cease.

A change of Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary will take effect as of the date the Request is processed, unless a certain date is specified by the Owner. If the Owner dies before the Request is processed, the change will take effect as of the date the Request was made, unless we have already made a payout or otherwise taken action on a designation or change before receipt or processing of such Request. A Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary designated irrevocably may not be changed without the written consent of that Beneficiary, or Contingent Beneficiary, as applicable, except as allowed by law.

The interest of any Beneficiary who dies before the Owner or the Annuitant will terminate at the death of the Beneficiary and the Contingent Beneficiary will become the Beneficiary. The interest of any Beneficiary who dies at the time of, or within 30 days after the death of an Owner or the Annuitant will also terminate if no benefits have been paid to such Beneficiary, unless the Owner otherwise indicates by Request. The benefits will then be paid to the Contingent Beneficiary. If no Contingent Beneficiary has been designated, then the benefits will be paid as though the Beneficiary had died before the deceased Owner or Annuitant. If no Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary survives the Owner or Annuitant, as applicable, we will pay the Death Benefit proceeds to the Owner's estate.

If the Beneficiary is not the Owner’s surviving spouse, she/he may elect, not later than one year after the Owner's date of death, to receive the Death Benefit in either a single sum or payout under any of the variable annuity options available under the Contract, provided that:

such annuity is distributed in substantially equal installments over the life or life expectancy of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary and

such distributions begin not later than one year after the Owner's date of death.

 

30

If an election is not received by Great-West from a non-spouse Beneficiary or substantially equal installments begin later than one year after the Owner's date of death, then the entire amount must be distributed within five years of the Owner's date of death. The Death Benefit will be determined as of the date the payouts begin.

If a corporation or other non-individual entity is entitled to receive benefits upon the Owner's death, the Death Benefit must be completely distributed within five years of the Owner's date of death.

Distribution of Death Benefit

Death of Annuitant Who is Not the Owner

Upon the death of the Annuitant while the Owner is living, and before the Annuity Commencement Date, we will pay the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary unless there is a Contingent Annuitant.

If a Contingent Annuitant was named by the Owner prior to the Annuitant's death, and the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date while the Owner and Contingent Annuitant are living, no Death Benefit will be payable and the Contingent Annuitant will become the Annuitant.

If the Annuitant dies after the date annuity payouts begin and before the entire interest has been distributed, any benefit payable must be distributed to the Beneficiary according to and as rapidly as under the payout option which was in effect on the Annuitant's date of death.

If a corporation or other non-individual is an Owner, the death of the Annuitant will be treated as the death of an Owner and the Contract will be subject to the "Death of Owner" provisions described below.

Contingent Annuitant

While the Annuitant is living, you may, by Request, designate or change a Contingent Annuitant from time to time. A change of Contingent Annuitant will take effect as of the date the request is processed, unless a certain date is specified by the Owner(s). Please note you are not required to designate a Contingent Annuitant.

Death of Owner Who Is Not the Annuitant

If the Owner dies before annuity payouts commence and there is a Joint Owner who is the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner, the Joint Owner becomes the Owner and Beneficiary and the Joint Owner may elect to take the Death Benefit or to continue the Contract in force.

If the Owner dies after annuity payouts commence and before the entire interest has been distributed while the Annuitant is living, any benefit payable will continue to be distributed to the Annuitant as rapidly as under the payout option applicable on the Owner's date of death. All rights granted the Owner under the Contract will pass to any surviving Joint Owner and, if none, to the Annuitant.

In all other cases, we will pay the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary even if a Joint Owner (who was not the Owner's spouse on the date of the Owner's death), the Annuitant and/or the Contingent Annuitant are alive at the time of the Owner's death, unless the sole Beneficiary is the deceased Owner's surviving spouse who may elect to become the Owner and Annuitant and to continue the Contract in force.

 

Death of Owner Who Is the Annuitant

If there is a Joint Owner who is the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner and a Contingent Annuitant, the Joint Owner becomes the Owner and the Beneficiary, the Contingent Annuitant will become the Annuitant, and the Contract will continue in force.

If there is a Joint Owner who is the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner but no Contingent Annuitant, the Joint Owner will become the Owner, Annuitant, and Beneficiary and may elect to take the Death Benefit or continue the Contract in force.

In all other cases, we will pay the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary, even if a Joint Owner (who was not the Owner's spouse on the date of the Owner's death) and/or Contingent Annuitant are alive at the time of the Owner's death, unless the sole Beneficiary is the deceased Owner's surviving spouse who may elect to become the Owner and Annuitant and to continue the Contract in force.

 

31

Charges and Deductions

No amounts will be deducted from your Contributions except for any applicable Premium Tax. As a result, the full amount of your Contributions (less any applicable Premium Tax) is invested in the Contract.

As more fully described below, charges under the Contract are assessed only as deductions for:

Premium Tax, if applicable; and/or

charges against your Annuity Account Value for our assumption of mortality and expense risks.

The Contract may be available for use with investment accounts at Schwab that charge an annual fee in lieu of sales charges or an investment advisory fee. Fees for these accounts would be specified in the respective account agreements. Any fees and expenses associated with these accounts will be separate from and in addition to the fees and expenses associated with the Contract. You should consult with your Financial Advisor for more details.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

We deduct a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge from your Annuity Account Value at the end of each valuation period to compensate us for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the Contract. If you select Death Benefit option 1, this is a daily charge equal to an effective annual rate of 0.65%. We guarantee that this charge will never increase beyond 0.65%. If you select Death Benefit option 2, the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is a daily charge equal to an effective annual rate of 0.85%. We guarantee that this charge will never increase beyond 0.85%. For Contracts issued prior to May 1, 2003, if you selected Death Benefit option 2, the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is a daily charge equal to an effective annual rate of 0.70%.

The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is reflected in the unit values of each of the Sub-Accounts you have selected. Thus, this charge will continue to be applicable should you choose a variable annuity payout option or a periodic withdrawal option.

Annuity Account Values and annuity payouts are not affected by changes in actual mortality experience incurred by us. The mortality risks assumed by us arise from our contractual obligations to make annuity payouts determined in accordance with the annuity tables and other provisions contained in the Contract. This means that you can be sure that neither the Annuitant's longevity nor an unanticipated improvement in general life expectancy will adversely affect the annuity payouts under the Contract.

The expense risk assumed is the risk that our actual expenses in administering the Contracts and the Series Account will be greater than we anticipated.

The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is higher for Owners who have selected Death Benefit option 2 because we bear substantial risk in connection with that option. Specifically, we bear the risk that we may be required to pay an amount to your Beneficiary that is greater than your Annuity Account Value.

If the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is insufficient to cover actual costs and risks assumed, the loss will fall on us. If this charge is more than sufficient, any excess will be profit to us. Currently, we expect a profit from this charge. Our expenses for distributing the Contracts will be borne by our general assets, including any profits from this charge.

Expenses of the Portfolios

The values of the assets in the Sub-Accounts reflects the values of the Sub-Accounts’ respective Portfolio shares and therefore the fees and expenses paid by each Portfolio.

Some of the Portfolios’ investment advisers or administrators may compensate us for providing administrative services in connection with the Portfolios or cost savings experienced by the investment advisers or administrators of the Portfolios. Such compensation is typically a percentage of the value of the assets invested in the relevant Sub-Accounts and generally may range up to 0.35% annually of net assets. GWFS Equities, Inc. (“GWFS”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Contracts and may also receive Rule 12b-1 fees (ranging up to 0.25% annually of net assets) directly from certain Portfolios for providing distribution related services related to shares of the Portfolios offered in connection with a Rule 12b-1 plan. If GWFS receives Rule 12b-1 fees, combined compensation for administrative and distribution related services generally ranges up to 0.60% annually of the assets invested in the relevant Sub-Accounts.

Premium Tax

We may be required to pay state Premium Taxes or retaliatory taxes currently ranging from 0% to 3.5% in connection with Contributions or values under the Contracts. Depending upon applicable state law, we may deduct charges for the Premium Taxes we incur with respect to your Contributions, from amounts withdrawn, or from amounts applied on the Payout

 

32

Commencement Date. In some states, charges for both direct Premium Taxes and retaliatory Premium Taxes may be imposed at the same or different times with respect to the same Contribution, depending on applicable state law.

Other Taxes

Under present laws, we will incur state or local taxes (in addition to the Premium Tax described above) in several states. No charges are currently deducted for taxes other than Premium Tax. However, we reserve the right to deduct charges in the future for federal, state, and local taxes or the economic burden resulting from the application of any tax laws that we determine to be attributable to the Contract.

Payout Options

During the Distribution Period, you can choose to receive payouts in three ways—through periodic withdrawals, variable annuity payouts or a single, lump-sum payment.

You may change the Payout Commencement Date within 30 days prior to commencement of payouts.

Periodic Withdrawals

You may request that all or part of the Annuity Account Value be applied to a periodic withdrawal option. All requests for periodic withdrawals must be in writing. The amount applied to a periodic withdrawal is the Annuity Account Value, less Premium Tax, if any.

In requesting periodic withdrawals, you must elect:

The withdrawal frequency of either 1-, 3-, 6- or 12-month intervals;

A minimum withdrawal amount of at least $100;

The calendar day of the month on which withdrawals will be made; and

One of the periodic withdrawal payout options discussed below— you may change the withdrawal option and/or the frequency once each calendar year.

Your withdrawals may be prorated across the Sub-Accounts in proportion to their assets. Or, they can be made from specific Sub-Account(s) until they are depleted. After that, we will automatically prorate the remaining withdrawals against any remaining Sub-Account assets unless you request otherwise.

While periodic withdrawals are being received:

You may continue to exercise all contractual rights, except that no Contributions may be made.

You may keep the same Sub-Accounts as you had selected before periodic withdrawals began.

Charges and fees under the Contract continue to apply.

Periodic withdrawals will cease on the earlier of the date:

The amount elected to be paid under the option selected has been reduced to zero.

The Annuity Account Value is zero.

You request that withdrawals stop.

You purchase an annuity payout option.

The Owner or the Annuitant dies.

If periodic withdrawals stop, you may resume making Contributions. However, we may limit the number of times you may restart a periodic withdrawal program.

Periodic withdrawals made for any purpose may be taxable, subject to withholding and to the 10% federal penalty tax if you are younger than age 59½.

If you choose to receive payouts from your Contract through periodic withdrawals, you may select from the following payout options:

Income for a specified period (at least 36 months)—You elect the length of time over which withdrawals will be made. The amount paid will vary based on the duration you choose.

Income of a specified amount (at least 36 months)—You elect the dollar amount of the withdrawals. Based on the amount elected, the duration may vary.

Any other form of periodic withdrawal acceptable to Great-West which is for a period of at least 36 months.

In accordance with the provisions outlined in this section, you may request a periodic withdrawal to remit fees paid to your Investment Manager or Financial Advisor. There may be income tax consequences to any periodic withdrawal made for this purpose. Please see “Cash Withdrawals” on page 27.

Annuity Payouts

You can choose the date that you wish annuity payouts to start either when you purchase the Contract or at a later date. If you do not select a payout start date, payouts will begin on the Annuitant's 91st birthday. You can change your selection at any time up to 30 days before the annuity date that you have selected.

If you have not elected a payout option within 30 days of the Annuity Commencement Date, your Annuity Account Value will be paid out as a variable life annuity with a guaranteed period of 20 years.

The amount to be paid out will be based on the Annuity Account Value, minus any Premium Tax, on the Annuity Commencement Date. The minimum amount that may be withdrawn from the Annuity Account Value to purchase an annuity payout option is $2,000. If your Annuity Account Value is less than $2,000, we may pay the amount in a single sum subject to the Contract provisions applicable to a partial withdrawal.

If you choose to receive variable annuity payouts from your Contract, you may select from the following payout options:

Variable life annuity with guaranteed period—This option provides for payouts during a guaranteed period or for the lifetime of the Annuitant, whichever is longer. The guaranteed period may be 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. Upon the death of the Annuitant, the Beneficiary will receive the remaining payouts at the same interval elected by the Owner.

Variable life annuity without guaranteed period—This option provides payouts during the lifetime of the Annuitant. The annuity terminates with the last payout due prior to the death of the Annuitant. Because no minimum number of payouts is guaranteed, this option may offer the maximum level of payouts. It is possible that only one payout may be made if the Annuitant dies before the date on which the second payout is due.

Under an annuity payout option, you can receive payouts monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually in payments which must be at least $50. We reserve the right to make payouts using the most frequent payout interval which produces a payout of at least $50. Once annuity payouts commence, you cannot make Contributions or take withdrawals, other than your annuity payouts.

If you elect to receive a single sum payment, the amount paid is the Surrender Value.

Amount of First Variable Payout

The first payout under a variable annuity payout option will be based on the value of the amounts held in each Sub-Account you have selected on the first valuation date preceding the Annuity Commencement Date. It will be determined by applying the appropriate rate to the amount applied under the payout option. The rate applied reflects an assumed investment return (“AIR”) of 5%.

For annuity options involving life income, the actual age, year in which annuitization commences and gender of the Annuitant will affect the amount of each payout. We reserve the right to ask for satisfactory proof of the Annuitant's age. We may delay annuity payouts until satisfactory proof is received. Because payouts to older Annuitants are expected to be fewer in number, the amount of each annuity payout under a selected annuity form will be greater for older Annuitants than for younger Annuitants.

If the age of the Annuitant has been misstated, the payouts established will be made on the basis of the correct age. If payouts were too large because of misstatement, the difference with interest may be deducted by us from the next payout or payouts. If payouts were too small, the difference with interest may be added by us to the next payout. This interest is at an annual effective rate which will not be less than the minimum rate allowed by law.

Variable Annuity Units

The number of Annuity Units paid for each Sub-Account is determined by dividing the amount of the first payout by its Annuity Unit value on the first valuation date preceding the Annuity Commencement Date. The number of Annuity Units used to calculate each payout for a Sub-Account remains fixed during the Annuity Payout Period.

Amount of Variable Payouts After the

First Payout

 

determined by multiplying (a) by (b) where (a) is the number of Sub-Account Annuity Units to be paid and (b) is the Sub-Account Annuity Unit value on the first valuation date preceding the date the annuity payout is due. The total amount of each

 

34

variable annuity payout will be the sum of the variable annuity payouts for each Sub-Account you have selected. We guarantee that the dollar amount of each payout after the first will not be affected by variations in expenses or mortality experience.

Transfers After the Variable Annuity

Commencement Date

Once annuity payouts have begun, Transfers may be made within the variable annuity payout option among the available Sub-Accounts. Transfers after the Annuity Commencement Date will be made by converting the number of Annuity Units being Transferred to the number of Annuity Units of the Sub-Account to which the Transfer is made. The result will be that the next annuity payout, if it were made at that time, would be the same amount that it would have been without the Transfer. Thereafter, annuity payouts will reflect changes in the value of the new Annuity Units.

Other Restrictions

Once payouts start under the annuity payout option you select:

no changes can be made in the payout option;

no additional Contributions will be accepted under the Contract; and

no further withdrawals, other than withdrawals made to provide annuity benefits, will be allowed.

A portion or the entire amount of the annuity payouts may be taxable as ordinary income. If, at the time the annuity payouts begin, we have not received a proper written election not to have federal income taxes withheld, we must by law withhold such taxes from the taxable portion of such annuity payouts and remit that amount to the federal government. State income tax withholding may also apply. Please see "Federal Tax Matters" below for details.

Seek Tax Advice

The following discussion of the federal income tax consequences is only a brief summary and is not intended as tax advice. The federal income tax consequences discussed here reflect our understanding of current law and the law may change. Federal estate tax consequences and state and local estate, inheritance, and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under a Contract depend on your individual circumstances or the circumstances of the person who receives the distribution. A tax advisor should be consulted for further information.

Federal Tax Matters

The following discussion is a general description of federal income tax considerations relating to the Contract and is not intended as tax advice. This discussion assumes that the Contract qualifies as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes. This discussion is not intended to address the tax consequences resulting from all situations. If you are concerned about the tax implications relating to the ownership or use of the Contract, you should consult a competent tax adviser before initiating any transaction.

This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the IRS. No representation is made as to the likelihood of the continuation of the present federal income tax laws or of the current interpretation by the IRS. Moreover, no attempt has been made to consider any applicable state or other tax laws.

The Contract may be purchased only on a non-tax qualified basis ("Non-Qualified Contract"). For federal income tax purposes, purchase payments made under Non-Qualified Contracts are not deductible. The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on the amounts held under a Contract, on annuity payouts, and on the economic benefit to you, the Annuitant, or the Beneficiary will depend on the tax status of the individual concerned.

Because tax laws, rules, and regulations are constantly changing, we do not make any guarantees about the Contract’s tax status.

Taxation of Annuities

Section 72 of the Code governs the taxation of annuities. An owner who is a “natural person” will not generally be taxed on increases, if any, in the value of the Annuity Account Value until a distribution of all or part of the Annuity Account Value is made (for example, withdrawals or annuity payouts under the annuity payout option elected). Also, if you make an assignment, pledge, or agreement to assign or pledge all or any portion of the Annuity Account Value, that amount will be treated as a distribution to you under the Contract. The taxable portion of a distribution (in the form of a single sum payout or an annuity) is taxable as ordinary income.

If the Owner of a Contract is a non-natural person (for example, a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or trust), the Owner must generally include in income any increase in the excess of the Annuity Account Value over the "investment in

 

35

the Contract" (discussed below) during each taxable year. The rule generally does not apply, however, where the non-natural person is only the nominal Owner of a Contract and the beneficial Owner is a natural person.

This rule also does not apply where:

The annuity Contract is acquired by the estate of a decedent.

The Contract is a qualified funding asset for a structured settlement.

The Contract is an immediate annuity.

The following discussion generally applies to a Contract owned by a natural person.

Withdrawals

Partial withdrawals, including periodic withdrawals that are not part of an annuity payout, are generally treated as taxable income to the extent that the Annuity Account Value immediately before the withdrawal exceeds the "investment in the Contract" at that time. Full surrenders are treated as taxable income to the extent that the amount received exceeds the "investment in the Contract.” The taxable portion of any withdrawal is taxed at ordinary income tax rates.

Annuity Payouts

Although the tax consequences will vary depending on the annuity form elected under the Contract, in general, only the portion of the annuity payout that exceeds the exclusion amount will be taxed. The exclusion amount is generally determined by a formula that establishes the ratio of the “investment in the Contract” to the expected return under the Contract. For fixed annuity payouts, in general there is no tax on the portion of each payout which represents the same ratio that the “investment in the Contract” allocated to the fixed annuity payouts bears to the total expected value of the annuity payouts for the term of the payouts (determined under Treasury Department regulations). For variable annuity payouts, in general there is no tax on the portion of each payout which represents the same ratio that the “investment in the Contract” allocated to the variable annuity payouts bears to the number of payouts expected to be made (determined by Treasury Department regulations which take into account the Annuitant’s life expectancy and the form of annuity benefits selected). However, the remainder of each annuity payout is taxable. Once the “investment in the Contract” has been fully recovered, the full amount of any additional annuity payouts is taxable. If the annuity payments stop as a result of an Annuitant’s death before full recovery of the “investment in the Contract,” you should consult a competent tax adviser regarding the deductibility of the uncovered amount.

The taxable portion of any annuity payout is taxed at ordinary income tax rates.

Penalty Tax

There may be a federal income tax penalty imposed equal to 10% of the amount treated as taxable income. In general, however, there is no penalty tax on distributions:

Made on or after the date on which the Owner reaches age 59½.

Made as a result of death or disability of the Owner.

Received in substantially equal periodic payouts (at least annually) for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and the Beneficiary.

For more details regarding this penalty tax and other exemptions that may be applicable, consult a competent tax adviser.

 

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds

Amounts may be distributed from the Contract because of the death of an Owner or the Annuitant. Generally such amounts are included in the income of the recipient as follows:

If distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a full withdrawal, as described above.

If distributed under an annuity form, they are taxed in the same manner as annuity payouts, as described above.

Distribution at Death

In order to be treated as an annuity contract, the terms of the Contract must provide the following two distribution rules:

If the Owner dies before the date annuity payouts start, the entire Annuity Account Value must generally be distributed within five years after the date of death. If payable to a designated Beneficiary, the distributions may be paid over the life of that designated Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that Beneficiary, so long as payouts start within one year of the Owner's death. If the sole designated Beneficiary is the Owner's spouse, the Contract may be continued in the name of the spouse as Owner.

If the Owner dies on or after the date annuity payouts start, and before the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, payments under the Contract must continue on the same or on a more rapid schedule than that provided for in the method in effect on the date of death.

 

36

If the Owner is not an individual, then for purposes of the distribution at death rules, the Primary Annuitant is considered the Owner. In addition, when the Owner is not an individual, a change in the Primary Annuitant is treated as the death of the Owner. The rules described under Distribution of Death Benefit are designed to meet these requirements.

 

Diversification of Investments

For a Non-Qualified Contract to be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes, the investments of the Sub-Accounts must be "adequately diversified" in accordance with Treasury Department Regulations. If the Series Account or a Sub-Account failed to comply with these diversification standards, a Non-Qualified Contract would not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes and the Owner would generally be taxable currently on the excess of the Annuity Account Value over the “investment in the Contract.”

Although we may not control the investments of the Sub-Accounts or the Portfolios, we expect that the Sub-Accounts and the Portfolios will comply with such regulations so that the Sub-accounts will be considered "adequately diversified.” Owners bear the risk that the entire Non-Qualified Contract could be disqualified as an annuity under the Code due to the failure of the Series Account or a Sub-Account to be deemed to be adequately diversified.

Owner Control

In connection with its issuance of temporary and proposed regulations under Section 817(h) in 1986, the Treasury Department announced that those regulations did not "provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control of the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor (i.e., the Owner), rather than the insurance company to be treated as the owner of the assets in the account" (which would result in the current taxation of the income on those assets to the Owner). In Revenue Ruling 2003-91, the IRS provided such guidance by describing the circumstances under which the owner of a variable contract will not possess sufficient control over the assets underlying the contract to be treated as the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes. Rev. Rul. 2003-91 states that the determination of whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances. We do not believe that the ownership rights of an Owner under the Contract would result in any Owner being treated as the owner of the assets of the Contract under Rev. Rul. 2003-91. However, we do not know whether additional guidance will be provided by the IRS on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance. Therefore, we reserve the right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent a Contract Owner from being considered the owner of a pro rata share of the assets of the Contract.

Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges

A transfer of ownership of a Contract, the designation of an Annuitant, Payee, or other Beneficiary who is not also the Owner, or the exchange of a Contract may result in adverse tax consequences that are not discussed in this Prospectus.

Multiple Contracts

All deferred, Non-Qualified Annuity Contracts that are issued by Great-West (or our affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year must be treated as a single annuity contract for purposes of determining the taxable amount.

Withholding

Distributions generally are subject to withholding at rates that vary according to the type of distribution and the recipient's tax status. Recipients, however, generally are provided the opportunity to elect not to have tax withheld from distributions.

Section 1035 Exchanges

Code Section 1035 provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of one annuity contract for another. Generally, an annuity contract issued in an exchange for another annuity contract is treated as new for purposes of the penalty and distribution at death rules.

If the initial Contribution is made as a result of an exchange or surrender of another annuity contract, we may require that you provide information relating to the federal income tax status of the previous annuity contract to us.

Assignments or Pledges

Generally, rights in the Contract may be assigned or pledged as collateral for loans at any time during the life of the Annuitant.

If the Contract is assigned, the interest of the assignee has priority over your interest and the interest of the Beneficiary. Any amount payable to the assignee will be paid in a single sum.

 

37

A copy of any assignment must be submitted to Great-West. All assignments are subject to any action taken or payout made by Great-West before the assignment was processed. We are not responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any assignment.

If any portion of the Annuity Account Value is assigned or pledged as collateral for a loan, it may be treated as a distribution. Please consult a competent tax advisor for further information.

Distribution of the Contracts

We offer the Contract on a continuous basis. We have entered into a distribution agreement with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) and GWFS. Contracts are sold in those states where the Contract may lawfully be sold by licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of Schwab. Schwab is registered as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is a member of FINRA. Schwab’s principal offices are located at 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California 94104.

GWFS is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Contracts and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West. GWFS is registered with the SEC as a broker/dealer and is a member of FINRA. Its principal offices are located at 8525 East Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, Colorado, 80111.

Great-West (or its affiliates, for purposes of this section only, collectively, "the Company") pays Schwab compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contract. Compensation paid to Schwab is not paid directly by the Owner or the Series Account. The Company intends to fund this compensation through fees and charges imposed under the Contract and payable to the Company, and from profits on payments received by the Company from Portfolios’ advisers or administrators for providing administrative, marketing, and other support and services to the Portfolios. See “Expenses of the Portfolios” on page 31 of this Prospectus. The Company pays a portion of these proceeds to Schwab for distribution services.

As compensation for distribution services and some Contract administrative services, the Company pays Schwab a fee based on an annual rate of average monthly Series Account and Fixed Account assets. The Company also may pay a marketing allowance or allow other promotional incentives or payments to Schwab in the form of cash or other compensation, as mutually agreed upon by the Company and Schwab, to the extent permitted by FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations. In the past, the portion of compensation relating to a marketing allowance and/or other promotional incentives or payments to Schwab has amounted to less than $25,000 per year. 

You should ask your Schwab representative for further information about what compensation he or she, or Schwab, may receive in connection with your purchase of a Contract.

Voting Rights

In general, you do not have a direct right to vote the Portfolio shares held in the Series Account. However, under current law, you are entitled to give us instructions on how to vote the shares. We will vote the shares according to those instructions at regular and special shareholder meetings. If the law changes and we can vote the shares in our own right, we may elect to do so.

Before the Annuity Commencement Date, you have the voting interest. The number of votes available to you will be calculated separately for each of your Sub-Accounts. That number will be determined by applying your percentage interest, if any, in a particular Sub-Account to the total number of votes attributable to that Sub-Account. You hold a voting interest in each Sub-Account to which your Annuity Account Value is allocated. If you select a variable annuity option, the votes attributable to your Contract will decrease as annuity payouts are made.

The number of votes of a Portfolio will be determined as of the date established by that Portfolio for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the Portfolio. Voting instructions will be solicited by communication prior to such meeting in accordance with procedures established by the respective Portfolios.

If we do not receive timely instructions and Owners have no beneficial interest in shares held by us, we will vote according to the voting instructions as a proportion of all Contracts participating in the Sub-Account. If you indicate in your instructions that you do not wish to vote an item, we will apply your instructions on a pro rata basis to reduce the votes eligible to be cast.

Each person or entity having a voting interest in a Sub-Account will receive proxy material, reports, and other material relating to the appropriate Portfolio.

Please note, generally the Portfolios are not required to, and do not intend to, hold annual or other regular meetings of shareholders.

Contract Owners have no voting rights in Great-West.

Rights Reserved by Great-West

We reserve the right to make certain changes we believe would best serve the interests of Owners and Annuitants or would be appropriate in carrying out the purposes of the Contract. Any changes will be made only to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable laws. Also, when required by law, we will obtain your approval of the changes and approval from any appropriate regulatory authority. Approval may not be required in all cases, however. Examples of the changes we may make include:

To operate the Series Account in any form permitted under the 1940 Act or in any other form permitted by law.

     To Transfer any assets in any Sub-Account to another Sub-Account, or to one or more separate accounts; or to add, combine or remove Sub-Accounts of the Series Account.

To substitute, for the Portfolio shares in any Sub-Account, the shares of another Portfolio or shares of another investment company or any other investment permitted by law.

To make any changes required by the Code or by any other applicable law in order to continue treatment of the Contract as an annuity.

To change the time or time of day that a valuation date is deemed to have ended.

To make any other necessary technical changes in the Contract in order to conform with any action the above provisions permit us to take, including changing the way we assess charges, without increasing them for any outstanding Contract beyond the aggregate amount guaranteed.

Legal Proceedings

Currently, the Series Account is not a party to, and its assets are not subject to any material legal proceedings. Further, Great-West is not currently a party to, and its property is not currently subject to, any material legal proceedings. The lawsuits to which Great-West is a party are, in the opinion of management, in the ordinary course of business, and are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial results, conditions, or prospects of Great-West.

Legal Matters

Advice regarding certain legal matters concerning the federal securities laws applicable to the issue and sale of the Contract has been provided by Jorden Burt LLP.

Appendix B – Net Investment Factor

The Net Investment Factor is determined by dividing (a) by (b), and subtracting (c) from the result where:

(a) is the net result of:

1)    the net asset value per share of the Portfolio shares determined as of the end of the current Valuation Period, plus

2)    the per share amount of any dividend (or, if applicable, capital gain distributions) made by the Portfolio on shares if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the current Valuation Period, minus or plus

3)    a per unit charge or credit for any taxes incurred by or provided for in the Sub-Account, which is determined by GWL&A to have resulted from the investment operations of the Sub-Account, and

(b) is the net asset value per share of the Portfolio shares determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period, and

(c) is an amount representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge deducted from each Sub-Account on a daily basis. Such amount is equal to 0.65% if you have selected Death Benefit option 1 or 0.70% if you have selected Death Benefit option 2 on Contracts issued before May 1, 2003 and 0.85% if you have selected Death Benefit option 2 on Contracts issued on May 1, 2003 or thereafter.

The Net Investment Factor may be greater than, less than, or equal to one. Therefore, the Accumulation Unit Value may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged.

The net asset value per share referred to in paragraphs (a)(1) and (b) above, reflects the investment performance of the Portfolio as well as the payment of Portfolio expenses.

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

In order to supplement the description in the Prospectus, the following provides additional information about the Contracts and other matters which may be of interest to you. Terms used in this Statement of Additional Information have the same meanings as are defined in the Prospectus under the heading "Definitions."

 

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

AND THE VARIABLE ANNUITY-1 SERIES ACCOUNT

 

Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the "Company"), the issuer of the Contract, is a Colorado corporation qualified to sell life insurance and annuity contracts in Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the District of Columbia and all states except New York. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of GWL&A Financial, Inc., a Delaware holding company. GWL&A Financial, Inc. is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco Inc., a Canadian holding company. Great-West Lifeco Inc. is a subsidiary of Power Financial Corporation, a Canadian holding company with substantial interests in the financial services industry. Power Financial Corporation is a subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada, a Canadian holding and management company. Mr. Paul Desmarais, through a group of private holding companies that he controls, has voting control of Power Corporation of Canada.

 

The assets allocated to the Series Account are the exclusive property of the Company. Registration of the Series Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940 does not involve supervision of the management or investment practices or policies of the Series Account or of the Company by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company may accumulate in the Series Account proceeds from charges under the Contracts and other amounts in excess of the Series Account assets representing reserves and liabilities under the Contract and other variable annuity contracts issued by the Company. The Company may from time to time transfer to its general account any of such excess amounts. Under certain remote circumstances, the assets of one Sub-Account may not be insulated from liability associated with another Sub-Account.

Best's Insurance Reports has assigned the Company to its highest of ten categories for financial strength and operating performance at A+, “Superior.” Fitch, Inc. has assigned the Company its second highest rating of eight categories to AA+, “Very Strong.” Standard & Poor's Corporation has assigned the Company to its second highest of nine categories with an AA, “Very Strong.” Moody's Investors Service has assigned the Company an insurance and financial strength rating of Aa3 (Excellent) which is its second highest category of nine categories.

 

CALCULATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS

 

Variable Annuity Options

 

The Company converts the accumulation units for each Sub-Account held by you into Annuity Units at their values determined as of the end of the valuation period which contains the Payout Commencement Date. The number of Annuity Units paid for each Sub-Account is determined by dividing the amount of the first payment by the Annuity Unit value on the first valuation date preceding the date the first payout is due. The number of Annuity Units used to calculate each payout for a Sub-Account remains fixed during the Annuity Payment Period.

 

 

The first payment under a variable annuity payment option will be based on the value of each Sub-Account on the first valuation date preceding the Annuity Commencement Date. It will be determined by applying the appropriate rate to the amount applied under the payout option. Payments after the first will vary depending upon the investment experience of the Sub-Accounts. The subsequent amount paid is determined by multiplying (a) by (b) where (a) is the number of Annuity Units to be paid and (b) is the Annuity Unit value on the first valuation date preceding the date the annuity payout is due. The total amount of each variable annuity payout will be the sum of the variable annuity payments for each Sub-Account.

 

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS

 

With respect to amounts allocated to the Series Account, payment of any amount due upon a total or partial surrender, death or under an annuity option will ordinarily be made within seven days after all documents required for such payment are received by the Schwab Insurance & Annuity Service Center. However, the determination, application or payment of any Death Benefit, Transfer, full surrender, partial withdrawal or annuity payment may be deferred (1) for any period (A) during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings) or (B) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted, (2) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which (A) disposal by the Series Account of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or (B) it is not reasonably practicable for the Series Account to determine the value of its net assets, or (3) for such other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of securityholders of the Series Account.

 

SERVICES

 

 

A.

Safekeeping of Series Account Assets

 

The assets of the Series Account are held by the Company. The assets of the Series Account are kept physically segregated and held separate and apart from the general account of the Company. The Company maintains records of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the Portfolios. Additional protection for the assets of the Series Account is afforded by a financial institution bond that includes fidelity coverage issued to The Great-West LifeCo, Inc. and subsidiary companies in the amount of $50 million (Canadian) per occurrence and $100 million (Canadian) aggregate, which covers all officers and employees of the Company.

 

 

B.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Deloitte & Touche LLP, 555 Seventeenth Street, Suite 3600, Denver, CO 80202, serves as the Company’s and the Series Account’s independent registered public accounting firm. Deloitte & Touche LLP examines financial statements for the Company and the Series Account and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

The financial statements of each of the investment divisions of the Variable Annuity-1 Series Account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and the financial statements of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company included in the Statement of Additional Information and the related financial statement schedule included elsewhere in the Registration Statement have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports appearing herein and elsewhere in the Registration Statement which reports express an unqualified opinion on the financial statements of the investment divisions of the Variable Annuity-1 Series Account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and includes an explanatory paragraph referring to the change in method of accounting for income taxes, as required by accounting guidance adopted on January 1, 2007, and change in method of accounting for defined benefit and other post retirement plans and share based payments as required by accounting guidance which was adopted on December 31, 2006, and January 1, 2006, respectively, and have been so included in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

 

 

C.

Principal Underwriter

 

The offering of the Contracts is made on a continuous basis by GWFS Equities, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. GWFS is a Delaware corporation and is a member of FINRA. The Company does not anticipate discontinuing the offering of the Contract, although it reserves the right to do so. The Contract generally will be issued for Annuitants from birth to age ninety. The aggregate dollar amount of commissions paid to, and retained by, GWFS for the Contracts was zero for the last three fiscal years.

 

 

D.

Administrative Services

 

WITHHOLDING

 

Annuity payments and other amounts received under the Contract are subject to income tax withholding unless the recipient elects not to have taxes withheld. The amounts withheld will vary among recipients depending on the tax status of the individual and the type of payments from which taxes are withheld.

 

Notwithstanding the recipient's election, withholding may be required with respect to certain payments to be delivered outside the United States. Moreover, special "backup withholding" rules may require the Company to disregard the recipient's election if the recipient fails to supply the Company with a "TIN" or taxpayer identification number (social security number for individuals), or if the Internal Revenue Service notifies the Company that the TIN provided by the recipient is incorrect.

 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company should be considered only as bearing upon the Company’s ability to meet its obligations under the Contracts, and they should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of the Series Account. The variable interest of Owners under the Contracts is affected solely by the investment results of the Series Account.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company
Greenwood Village, Colorado

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 8. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 4, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes, as required by accounting guidance on January 1, 2007, and changed its method of accounting for defined benefit and other post retirement plans and share based payments as required by accounting guidance which the Company adopted on December 31, 2006, and January 1, 2006, respectively.

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization - Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A Financial Inc. (“GWL&A Financial”), a holding company formed in 1998. GWL&A Financial is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco Inc. (“Lifeco”). The Company offers a wide range of life insurance and retirement and investment products to individuals, businesses and other private and public organizations throughout the United States. The Company is an insurance company domiciled in the State of Colorado, and is subject to regulation by the Colorado Division of Insurance.

Basis of presentation - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are required to account for policy reserves, allowances for credit losses on mortgage loans on real estate, deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired, goodwill and other intangible assets, derivative instruments, valuation of privately placed and non-actively traded public investments, employee benefits plans and taxes on income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

A reclassification was made in the 2006 consolidated balance sheet to conform to the 2007 presentation. Certain equity investments which in 2007 are presented in limited partnership interests were presented as equity investments in 2006.

Reclassifications were also made to the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006 and the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 to reflect the Company’s discontinued operations. See Note 2.

The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income, total assets or total stockholder’s equity and were made in order to further enhance the readers’ understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

Investments - Investments are reported as follows:

 

 

1.

The Company classifies the majority of its fixed maturity and all of its equity investments as available-for-sale and records them at fair value with the related net unrealized gain or loss, net of policyholder related amounts and deferred taxes, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity section in the consolidated balance sheets. Net unrealized gains and losses related to participating contract policies are recorded as undistributed earnings on participating business in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

 

 

Premiums and discounts are recognized as a component of net investment income using the scientific interest method. Realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other-than-temporary are included in net realized gains (losses) on investments.

 

 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company purchased fixed maturity securities which were classified as held for trading. Assets in the held for trading category are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net investment income.





59



GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

 

 

 

The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g. loan-backed securities, including mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities) is dependent upon market conditions, which may result in prepayments and changes in amounts to be earned.

 

 

2.

Mortgage loans on real estate are commercial loans and are carried at their unpaid balances adjusted for any unamortized premiums or discounts and allowances for credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Discounts and premiums are amortized to net investment income using the scientific interest method. Accrual of interest is discontinued on any impaired loans where collection of interest is doubtful.

 

 

 

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at a level that, in management’s opinion, is sufficient to absorb credit losses on its impaired loans. Management’s judgment is based upon extensive situational analysis of each individual loan and may consider past loss experience and current and projected economic conditions. The measurement of impaired loans is based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral.

 

 

3.

Equity investments classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholder’s equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has more than a minority interest and has influence in the entity’s operating and financial policies, but does not have a controlling interest. Realized gains and losses and declines in value, determined to be other-than-temporary, are included in net realized gains (losses) on investments.

 

 

4.

Limited partnership interests are valued under the cost method of accounting. The Company uses this method since it has a minority equity interest and virtually no influence over the entity’s operations. Also included in other limited partnership interests are limited partnerships established for the purpose of investing in low-income housing that qualify for federal and state tax credits. These securities are carried at amortized cost as determined using the effective yield method.

 

 

5.

Policy loans are carried at their unpaid balances.

 

 

6.

Short-term investments include securities purchased with initial maturities of one year or less and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company classifies its short-term investments as available-for-sale.

 

 

7.

Gains and losses realized on disposal of investments are determined on a specific identification basis.

 

 

8.

The Company may employ a trading strategy that involves the sale of securities with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price. Proceeds of the sale are reinvested in other securities and may enhance the current yield and total return. The difference between the sales price and the future repurchase price is recorded as an adjustment to net investment income. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Company will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty enters bankruptcy proceedings or becomes insolvent. In such cases, the Company’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted. Amounts owed to brokers under these arrangements are included in repurchase agreements in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The liability is collateralized by securities with approximately the same fair value.

 

 

9.

The Company receives collateral for lending securities that are held as part of its investment portfolio. The Company requires collateral in an amount greater than or equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities loaned and 105% of foreign securities loaned. Such collateral is used to replace

the securities loaned in event of default by the borrower. The Company’s securities lending transactions are accounted for as collateralized borrowings. Collateral is defined as government securities, letters of credit and/or cash collateral. The borrower can return and the Company can request the loaned securities at any time. The Company maintains ownership of the securities at all times and is entitled to receive from the borrower any payments for interest or dividends received on such securities during the loan term.





Derivative financial instruments - All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities at fair value. Accounting for the ongoing changes in the fair value of a derivative depends upon the intended use of the derivative and its designation as determined when the derivative contract is entered into. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in its fair value and of the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in net investment income. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are recognized in the consolidated income statements when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and the over effective portion of cash flow hedges are recognized in net investment income in the period of the change.

Cash - Cash includes only amounts in demand deposit accounts.

Bank overdrafts - The Company’s cash management system provides for the reimbursement of all major bank disbursement accounts on a daily basis. Checks issued but not yet presented to banks for payment can result in overdraft balances for accounting purposes and are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, these liabilities were $48,449 and $35,167, respectively.

Internal use software - Capitalized internal use software development costs, net of accumulated depreciation, in the amounts of $38,537 and $43,521, are included in other assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company capitalized $3,504, $9,329 and $8,732 of internal use software development costs during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) and value of business acquired (“VOBA”) - DAC, which primarily consists of sales commissions and costs associated with the Company’s sales representatives related to the production of new business or through the acquisition of insurance or annuity contracts through indemnity reinsurance transactions, have been deferred to the extent recoverable. VOBA represents the estimated fair value of insurance or annuity contracts acquired either directly through the acquisition of another insurance company or through the acquisition of insurance or annuity contracts through assumption reinsurance transactions. The recoverability of such costs is dependent upon the future profitability of the related business. DAC and VOBA associated with the annuity products and flexible premium universal life insurance products are being amortized over the life of the contracts in proportion to the emergence of gross profits. Retrospective adjustments of these amounts are made when the Company revises its estimates of current or future gross profits. DAC and VOBA associated with traditional life insurance are amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies in proportion to premium revenues recognized. See Note 9 for additional information regarding deferred acquisition costs and the value of business acquired.

Goodwill and other intangible assets - Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with an acquisition. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, the excess is recognized as an impairment and recorded as a charge against net income in the period in which the impairment is identified. There were no impairments of goodwill recognized during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005.

Other intangible assets represent the estimated fair value of the portion of the purchase price that was allocated to the value of customer relationships, preferred provider networks and healthcare provider networks in various acquisitions. These intangible assets have been assigned values using various methodologies, including present value of projected future cash flows, analysis of similar transactions that have occurred or could be expected to occur in the market, and replacement or reproduction cost. The initial valuations of these intangible assets were supported by an independent valuation study that was commissioned by the Company and executed by qualified valuation experts. Other identified intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which initially ranged from 4 to 14 years (weighted average 13 years), primarily based upon the cash flows generated by these assets.

Separate accounts - Separate account assets and related liabilities are carried at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s separate accounts invest in shares of Maxim Series Fund, Inc., an open-end management investment company, and Putnam Funds which are affiliates of the Company, in addition to shares of other non-affiliated mutual funds and government and corporate bonds. Investment income and realized capital gains and losses of the separate accounts accrue directly to the contract holders and, therefore, are not included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Revenues to the Company from the separate accounts consist of contract maintenance fees, administrative fees and mortality and expense risk charges. The Company’s separate accounts include mutual funds or other investment options that, beginning in 2005, purchase guaranteed interest annuity contracts issued by the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, these purchases totaled $74,855 and $67,546, respectively. As the general account investment contracts are also included in the separate account balances in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, the Company has reduced the separate account assets and liabilities by $383,319 and $356,992 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, to avoid the overstatement of assets and liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets at those dates.

Life insurance and annuity reserves - Life insurance and annuity reserves with life contingencies in the amounts of $11,330,656 and $12,826,595 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are computed on the basis of estimated mortality, investment yield, withdrawals, future maintenance and settlement expenses and retrospective experience rating premium refunds. Annuity contract reserves without life contingencies in the amounts of $5,998,749 and $6,318,534 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are established at the contract holder’s account value.

Reinsurance - Policy reserves and policy and contract claims ceded to other insurance companies are carried as a reinsurance receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The cost of reinsurance related to long duration contracts is accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies.

Policy and contract claims - Policy and contract claims include provisions for claims incurred but not reported and claims in the process of settlement. The provision for claims incurred but not reported is valued based primarily on the Company’s prior experience. The claims in the process of settlement are valued in accordance with the terms of the related policies and contracts.

Participating fund account - The policies in which the policyholder shares in the Company’s participating earnings through policyholder dividends that reflect the difference between the assumptions used in the premium charged and the actual experience. The amount of dividends to be paid is determined annually by the Board of Directors.

Participating life and annuity policy reserves are $6,019,015 and $6,793,239 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Participating business approximates 8.3% and 12.8% of the Company’s individual life insurance in-force at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 32.4%, 58.0% and 42.0% of individual life insurance premium income for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company has established a Participating Policyholder Experience Account (“PPEA”) for the benefit of all participating policyholders, which is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  In the event that the assets of the PPEA are insufficient to provide contractually guaranteed benefits, the Company must provide such benefits from its general account assets.

The Company has also established a Participation Fund Account (“PFA”) for the benefit of the participating policyholders previously assumed from The Great-West Life Assurance Company (“GWL”) under an assumption reinsurance transaction. The PFA is part of the PPEA. Earnings derived from the operation of the PFA, net of a management fee paid to the Company, accrue for the benefit of the participating policyholders.

Recognition of premium and fee income and benefits and expenses - Life insurance premiums are recognized when due. Annuity contract premiums with life contingencies are recognized as received. Revenues for annuity and other contracts without significant life contingencies consist of contract charges for the cost of insurance and contract administration and surrender fees that have been assessed against the contract account balance during the period and are recognized when earned. Fees from assets under management, which consist of contract maintenance fees, administration fees and mortality and expense risk charges, are recognized when due. Benefits and expenses on policies with life contingencies are associated with earned premiums so as to result in recognition of profits over the life of the contracts.

Income taxes - Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in either the Company’s consolidated financial statements or consolidated tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events, other than the enactments or changes in the tax laws or rules, are considered. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.

As described more fully in Note 4, the Company adopted FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”(“FIN 48”) effective January 1, 2007. Among other things, under FIN 48, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Stock options - Lifeco maintains the Great-West Lifeco Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “Lifeco plan”) that provides for the granting of options on its common shares to certain of its officers and employees and those of its subsidiaries, including the Company. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”) which requires it to use the fair value method to recognize the cost of share-based employee compensation. Previously, the Company elected only to disclose the proforma impact of recording the fair value of stock options under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” in the notes to its consolidated financial statements (See Notes 4 and 19).

Regulatory requirements - In accordance with the requirements of the Colorado Division of Insurance, the Company must demonstrate that it maintains adequate capital. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company was in compliance with the requirement. (See Note 12).

In accordance with the requirements of the regulatory authorities in the states in which the Company conducts its business, it is required to maintain deposits with those authorities for the purpose of security for policy and contract holders. The Company fulfills this requirement generally with the deposit of United States government obligations.

2. Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

On November 26, 2007, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a definitive Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all of their healthcare insurance business to a subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation (“CIGNA”) for $1.5 billion in cash, subject to regulatory and certain other approvals. The transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2008. The business to be sold, formerly reported as the Company’s Healthcare segment, is the vehicle through which the Company markets and administers group life and health insurance to small and mid-sized employers. CIGNA will acquire from the Company the stop loss, group life, group disability, group medical, group dental, group vision, group prescription drug coverage and group accidental death and dismemberment insurance business in the United States and the Company’s supporting information technology infrastructure through a combination of 100% indemnity reinsurance agreements, renewal rights, related administrative service agreements and the acquisition of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company will retain a small portion of its Healthcare business and reports it within its Individual Markets segment. Upon completion of the proposed transaction, the Company’s business will be that of its Individual Markets, Retirement Services and Other segments (See Note 18). As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the statements of income and balance sheets of these business activities are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the Company and CIGNA will enter into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) whereby the Company will provide certain intellectual technology and administrative and legal services on behalf of CIGNA for a period of up to twenty-four months, which may be extended, following the completion of the proposed transaction. CIGNA will pay the Company pre-determined monthly fees for these services and will reimburse it for other expenditures it makes under the terms of the Transition Agreement.

3. Acquisitions

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company’s 401(k) and defined benefit business

On October 2, 2006, the Company purchased several parts of the full service-bundled, small and midsized 401(k) as well as certain defined benefit plan business from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and its affiliates (“MetLife”). The assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since that date. The acquisition included the associated dedicated distribution group, including wholesalers, relationship managers and sales associates. As a result of the acquisition, the Company added approximately 280,000 participants in the 401(k) full service segment and increased its distribution capacity.

The purchase included a 100% coinsurance agreement reinsuring the acquired general account business and a 100% modified-coinsurance agreement reinsuring the acquired separate account business. The Company will replace the acquired MetLife policies with its policies over a three year period. As these policies are replaced, they will no longer be subject to the reinsurance agreements. Under the coinsurance agreement, the Company acquired all of the insurance liabilities associated with these contracts and received from MetLife cash to support these liabilities, net of the purchase price. Under the modified-coinsurance agreement, MetLife retained the approximate $2.3 billion of separate account assets and liabilities but cedes to the Company all of the net profits and losses and related net cash flows. In addition, the Company acquired the rights to provide administrative services and recordkeeping functions for approximately $3.2 billion of participant account values.

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using management’s best estimate of their fair values as of the acquisition date and the use of a third-party business valuation expert to estimate the value of business acquired (“VOBA”) and goodwill. The following table presents an allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as adjusted for revisions to the original purchase price allocation at October 2, 2006:

VOBA reflects the estimated fair value of in-force contracts acquired and represents the portion of the purchase price that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future cash flows from the contracts in force at the acquisition date. VOBA is based on actuarially determined projections, by each block of business, of future policy and contract charges, premiums, mortality and morbidity, separate account

performance, surrenders, operating expenses, investment returns and other factors. Actual experience of the purchased business may vary from these projections. If estimated gross profits or premiums differ from expectations, the amortization of VOBA for these annuity products is adjusted to reflect actual experience. The VOBA has an expected amortization period of 14 years.

The value of the identifiable intangible assets reflects the estimated fair value of customer relationships for the recordkeeping business acquired and amounted to $6,337 as a result of this acquisition. This intangible will be amortized in relation to the expected economic benefits of the agreement. If actual experience with customer relationships differs from expectations, the amortization will be adjusted to reflect actual experience. The customer relationship intangible asset has an expected weighted average amortization period of 14 years.

Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition amounted to $56,981, all of which has been allocated to the Retirement Services segment. For income tax purposes, all of this goodwill will be deductible over 15 years.

U.S. Bank’s defined contribution business

On December 31, 2006, the Company purchased the full service-bundled, defined contribution business from U.S. Bank. The results of operations of this business have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since that date. The acquired business primarily relates to the administration of approximately 1,900 401(k) plans which represent approximately 195,000 members and more than $9.0 billion in retirement plan assets. The acquisition includes the retention of relationship managers and sales and client service specialists. An adjustment to the purchase price may be paid to or received from U.S. Bank in 2008. The adjustment is contingent upon the attainment of certain revenue and contract retention targets. Any adjustment either paid to or received from U.S. Bank in future years will be recorded as an adjustment to the purchase price allocation in the period in which the contingency is resolved.

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using management’s best estimate of their fair values as of the acquisition date and the use of a third-party business valuation expert to estimate the value of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired. The following table presents an allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as adjusted for revisions to the original purchase price allocation at December 31, 2006:

The value of the identifiable intangible assets reflects the estimated fair value of customer relationships acquired of $27,040 and the estimated fair value of the preferred provider agreement of $7,970. These intangibles will be amortized in relation to the expected economic benefits of the agreement. If actual experience differs from expectations, the amortization will be adjusted to reflect actual experience. The intangibles have an expected weighted average amortization period of 14 years.

4. Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). SFAS No. 123R requires a company to use the fair value method to recognize the cost of its stock-based employee compensation and to provide certain other additional disclosures. Previously, the Company elected only to disclose the proforma impact of recording the fair value of stock options under the provisions of SFAS No. 123 in the notes to its consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or the results of its operations (See Note 19).

In September 2005, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 05-1, “Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts” (“SOP 05-1”). SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for deferred acquisition costs on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those specifically described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 97, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses From the Sale of Investments.” SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted SOP 05-1 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SOP 05-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of its operations.

In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“FSP 115-1 and 124-1”). FSP 115-1 and 124-1 supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 124 “Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations” and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18 “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.” FSP 115-1 and 124-1 addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary in nature and the measurement of an impairment loss. FSP 115-1 and 124-1 also includes provisions for accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. FSP 115-1 and 124-1 was effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005 with earlier adoption permitted. The Company adopted FSP 115-1 and 124-1 during its fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005. The adoption of FSP 115-1 and 124-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of its operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 permits any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to be carried at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. In addition, SFAS No. 155 requires that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets be analyzed to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or contain an embedded derivative. SFAS No. 155 is applicable to new or

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

modified financial instruments in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, however it may be applied to instruments that an entity holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company adopted SFAS No. 155 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 increased stockholder’s equity by $115.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 decreased stockholder’s equity by $6,195.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS No. 158”). For fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, SFAS No. 158 requires a company to recognize in its balance sheet an asset for a defined benefit postretirement plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status and recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the other comprehensive income section of stockholder’s equity in the year in which the changes occur, and provide additional disclosures. The Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 decreased accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by $6,734. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not affect the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006. For fiscal years ended after December 15, 2008, SFAS No. 158 requires a company to measure a defined benefit postretirement plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of its fiscal year. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of the measurement date provision of SFAS No. 158 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of assessing materiality. SAB 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No. 108 permits companies to initially apply its provisions by either restating prior financial statements or recording a cumulative effect adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings for errors that were previously deemed immaterial but are material under the guidance in SAB No. 108. The Company adopted SAB No. 108 on December 31, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

Accounting pronouncements that will be adopted in the future

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 also provides expanded information about the extent to which a company measures assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is applicable whenever other authoritative pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of its operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No.159”). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to measure financial instruments and certain other items at estimated fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are elective; however, the amendment to FASB No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, applies to all entities that own trading and available-for-sale securities. The fair value option created by SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to measure eligible items at fair value as of specified election dates. The fair value option (a) may generally be applied instrument by instrument, (b) is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs, and (c) must be applied to the entire instrument and not to only a portion of the instrument. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of its operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). These statements change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. Some of the significant changes include the recognition of one hundred percent of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest of acquired businesses; recognition of contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair values with subsequent changes in fair value reflected in earnings; recognition of acquisition related transaction costs as expense when incurred; and recognition of acquisition related restructuring cost accruals in acquisition accounting only if certain criteria are met as of the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt the provisions of these statements for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated financial position and the results of its operations.

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

The Company has fixed maturity securities with fair values in the amounts of $11,156 and $12,922 that have been non-income producing for the twelve months preceding December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These securities were written down to their fair value in the period they were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Derivative financial instruments - The Company makes limited use of derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate, market credit and foreign exchange risk associated with its invested assets. Derivatives are not used for speculative purposes.

The Company controls the credit risk of its derivative contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Risk of loss is generally limited to the fair value of derivative instruments and not to the notional or contractual amounts of the derivatives. As the Company enters into derivative transactions only with high quality institutions, no losses associated with non-performance of derivative financial instruments have occurred or are expected to occur.

Fair value hedges - Written call options are used in conjunction with interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert fixed rate bonds to variable rate bonds as part of the Company’s overall asset/liability matching program.

The Company’s use of derivatives treated as fair value hedges has been nominal during the last three years. Hedge ineffectiveness in the amounts of $0, $224 and $0 were recorded as an increase to net investment income during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Cash flow hedges - Interest rate swap agreements are used to convert the interest rate on certain debt securities from a floating rate to a fixed rate. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk associated with bonds denominated in other than U.S. dollars. Interest rate futures are used to hedge the interest rate risks of forecasted acquisitions of fixed rate maturity investments. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by one party to the agreement at each due date.

Hedge ineffectiveness in the amount of $606 was recorded as an increase to net investment income during the year ended December 31, 2007, while $89 was recorded as a decrease to net investment income during the year ended December 31, 2006 and $567 was recorded as an increase to net investment income during the year ended December 31, 2005.

Unrealized derivative gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings at the time interest income is recognized. A derivative net loss in the amount of $1,275 was reclassified to net investment income during the year ended December 31, 2007 while derivative net gains in the amounts of $1,709 and $7,853 were reclassified to net investment income during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. As of December 31, 2007, the Company estimates that $1,225 of net derivative gains included in other accumulated comprehensive income will be reclassified into net income within the next twelve months.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments - The Company attempts to match the timing of when interest rates are committed on insurance products with other new investments. However, timing differences may occur and can expose the Company to fluctuating interest rates. To offset this risk, the Company uses U.S. Treasury futures contracts. The Company also utilizes U.S. Treasury futures as a method of adjusting the duration of the overall portfolio. Although management believes the above-mentioned derivatives are effective hedges from an economic standpoint, they do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

The Company occasionally purchases a financial instrument that contains a derivative instrument that is “embedded” in the financial instrument. Upon purchasing the instrument, the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the remaining component of the financial instrument (i.e. the host contract) and whether a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument could meet the definition of a derivative instrument. When it is determined that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and (2) a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument. The Company has the option of separating the embedded derivative from the host contract and carrying it at its fair value or under SFAS No. 155, the Company may carry the entire hybrid instrument at fair value with gains and losses recognized in earnings. Upon adopting SFAS No. 155 on January 1, 2007, the Company no longer bifurcates its credit default swaps.

During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, decreases in the amounts of $75, $264 and $833, respectively, were recognized in net income from market value changes of derivatives not receiving hedge accounting treatment.

The Company participates in a securities lending program whereby securities, which are included in invested assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are loaned to third parties. Securities with a cost or amortized cost in the amounts of $84,851 and $365,219 and estimated fair values in the amounts of $90,087 and $365,341 were on loan under the program at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company was liable for collateral under its control in the amounts of $93,472 and $382,423 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Additionally, the fair value of margin deposits related to futures contracts was approximately $496 and $820 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Impairment of fixed maturity and equity investments classified as available-for-sale - The Company classifies the majority of its fixed maturity and all of its equity investments as available-for-sale and records them at fair value with the related net unrealized gain or loss, net of policyholder related amounts and deferred taxes, being recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity section in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All available-for-sale securities with gross unrealized losses at the balance sheet date are subjected to the Company’s process for the identification and evaluation of other-than-temporary impairments.

The Company writes down to fair value securities that it deems to be other-than-temporarily impaired in the period the securities are deemed to be so impaired. The Company records write-downs as investment losses and adjusts the cost basis of the securities accordingly. The Company does not adjust the revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in value.

The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred is based upon management’s case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in fair value. Management considers a wide range of factors, as described below, regarding the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in its estimated fair value and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management’s evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations and future earnings potential of the issuer.

Considerations used by the Company in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

Fair value is significantly below cost.

 

 

The decline in fair value is attributable to specific adverse conditions affecting a particular instrument, its issuer, an industry or geographic area.

 

 

The decline in fair value has existed for an extended period of time.

 

 

A debt security has been downgraded by a credit rating agency.

 

 

The financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated.

 

 

Dividends have been reduced or eliminated or scheduled interest payments have not been made.





While all available information is taken into account, it is difficult to predict the ultimate recoverable amount from a distressed or impaired security.

Fixed maturity investments - At December 31, 2007 and 2006, less than 3% and less than 1%, respectively, of these securities were rated non-investment grade. Approximately $21,400 of unrealized losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities were related to a decrease in credit quality; however, the fair value is still approximately 92% of the book value of these securities. The unrealized losses on the remaining securities are primarily attributable to fluctuations in market interest rates and changes in credit spreads since the securities were acquired. These fluctuations, caused by market interest rate changes, have little bearing on whether or not the investment will be ultimately recoverable. The Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2007.

The increase in unrealized losses in the Finance industry was primarily related to perpetual floating-interest rate securities issued by Canadian and foreign banks. None of the losses were related to a ratings downgrade. All these securities are rated A or above. The Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2007.

Equity investments - The increase in unrealized losses from 2006 to 2007 is related to issues in the airline industry. At December 31, 2007, the Company has no information indicating that any of these investments are other-than-temporarily impaired.

Other-than-temporary impairment recognition

The Company recorded other-than-temporary impairments on fixed maturity investments in the amounts of $34,485, $6,094 and $12,958 during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Of the $34,485, $20,750 was recognized in connection to the termination of the CLAC reinsurance agreement (See Note 5) because the Company no longer had the intent to hold the investments until recovery. The remaining impairments were primarily related to repurchase agreement financing transactions, corporate debt securities in the auto industry and asset-backed securities with manufactured housing collateral. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairments on equity securities in the amounts of $389, $469 and $261, respectively.

Fixed maturity and equity securities

The fair values for public fixed maturity and equity securities are based upon quoted market prices or estimates from independent pricing services. However, in cases where quoted market prices are not readily available, such as for private fixed maturity investments, fair values are estimated. To determine estimated fair value for these instruments, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flow calculated at current market rates on investments of similar quality and term. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amounts of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer or counterparty. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts of the Company’s financial instruments.

Mortgage loans on real estate

Mortgage loan fair value estimates are generally based on discounted cash flows. A discount rate matrix is incorporated whereby the discount rate used in valuing a specific mortgage generally corresponds to that mortgage’s remaining term and credit quality. The rates selected for inclusion in the discount rate matrix reflect rates that the Company would quote if placing loans representative in size and quality to those currently in its portfolio.

Policy loans

Policy loans accrue interest at variable rates with no fixed maturity dates; therefore, estimated fair values approximate carrying values.

Short-term investments, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and collateral under securities lending agreements

The carrying value of short-term investments, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and collateral under securities lending agreements is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term nature.

Reinsurance receivables

The estimated fair values and carrying amounts of reinsurance receivables at December 31, 2006 include a reduction of $58,569 representing the estimated fair value of the embedded derivative associated with the Company’s reinsurance receivable under its coinsurance with funds withheld agreement with the United States branch of CLAC (See Note 5). Valuation of the derivative is based upon the estimated fair value of the segregated pool of assets from which the Company derives its return on the reinsurance receivable.

Annuity contract reserves without life contingencies

The estimated fair values of annuity contract reserves without life contingencies are estimated by discounting the cash flows to maturity of the contracts utilizing current interest crediting rates for similar products.

Policyholders’ funds

The estimated fair values of policyholders’ funds are the same as the carrying amounts since the Company can change the interest crediting rates with 30 days notice.

Derivatives

Included in other assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are derivative financial instruments in the amounts of $8,734 and $2,127, respectively. Included in other liabilities at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are derivative financial instruments in the amounts of $3,634 and $7,757, respectively. The estimated fair values of over-the-counter derivatives, primarily consisting of interest rate swaps, which are held for other than trading purposes, are the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at each year-end, taking into consideration current interest rates and other relevant factors.

Notes payable

The estimated fair values of the notes payable to GWL&A Financial are based upon discounted cash flows at current market rates on high quality investments.

Separate account assets and liabilities

Separate account assets and liabilities are adjusted to a net asset value on a daily basis, which approximates fair value.

 

 

8. Reinsurance





The Company enters into reinsurance transactions as both a provider and purchaser of reinsurance. In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding risks to other insurance enterprises under excess coverage and coinsurance contracts. The Company retains a maximum liability in the amount of $3,500 of coverage per individual life.

Ceded reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. The failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the reinsurance receivables had carrying values in the amounts of $505,107 and $707,757, respectively. Included in these amounts are $381,931 and $531,389 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, associated with reinsurance agreements with related parties. There were no allowances for potential uncollectible reinsurance receivables at either December 31, 2007 or 2006.

16. Employee Benefit Plans

On December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158. SFAS No. 158 required the Company to recognize the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations for the Defined Benefit Pension Plan or the accumulated post retirement benefit obligation for the Post Retirement Medical Plan) of its pension plan and post retirement medical plan beginning in its December 31, 2006 statement of financial position, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption represents the net unrecognized actuarial losses, unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized transition obligation remaining from the initial adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employer’s Accounting for Pensions” (“SFAS No. 87”) all of which were previously netted against the plan’s funded status in the Company’s statement of financial position pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 87. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost pursuant to the Company’s historical accounting policy for amortizing such amounts. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic pension cost in the same periods will be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Those amounts will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost on the same basis as the amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at the time of adoption of SFAS No. 158.

Defined Benefit Pension and Post Retirement Medical Plans - The Company has a noncontributory Defined Benefit Pension Plan covering substantially all of its employees that were hired before January 1, 1999. Pension benefits are based principally on an employee’s years of service and compensation levels near retirement. The Company’s policy for funding the defined benefit pension plans is to make annual contributions, which equal or exceed regulatory requirements.

The Company sponsors an unfunded Post Retirement Medical Plan (the “medical plan”) that provides health benefits to retired employees who are not Medicare eligible. The medical plan is contributory and contains other cost sharing features, which may be adjusted annually for the expected general inflation rate. The Company’s policy is to fund the cost of the medical plan benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of management.

During December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”) was signed into law. Under the Act, which took effect on January 1, 2006, employers who sponsor postretirement plans that provide for a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part D may be entitled to a subsidy payment. In conjunction with the effect of this legislation, the Company amended its post retirement medical plan, whereby it eliminated the provision of medical benefits for retired employees once

they become Medicare eligible. The adoption of the amendment resulted in a reduction of the Company’s estimated post retirement medical plan benefit obligation in the amount of $34,965 on January 1, 2006.

A November 30 measurement date is used for the Defined Benefit Pension and Post Retirement Medical plans. Prepaid benefit costs and intangible assets are included in other assets and accrued benefit costs and unfunded status amounts are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the changes in the benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets, and the under funded status for the Company’s Defined Benefit Pension and Post Retirement Medical plans as of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

The discount rate has been set based upon the rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period the benefits will be paid. In particular, the yields on bonds rated AA or better on the measurement date have been used to set the discount rate.

Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the Post Retirement Medical Plan. For measurement purposes, a 9.00% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered healthcare benefits was assumed and that the rate would gradually decrease to a level of 5.25% by 2016.

Management estimates the value of these investments will be recoverable. The Company does not expect any plan assets to be returned to it during the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company made a contribution in the amount of $3,300 to its Defined Benefit Pension Plan during the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company expects to contribute approximately $986 to its Post Retirement Medical Plan during the year ended December 31, 2008.

The investment objective of the Defined Benefit Pension Plan is to provide an attractive risk-adjusted return that will ensure the payment of benefits while protecting against the risk of substantial investment losses. Correlations among the asset classes are used to identify an asset mix that the Company believes will provide the most attractive returns. Long-term return forecasts for each asset class using historical data and other qualitative considerations to adjust for projected economic forecasts are used to set the expected rate of return for the entire portfolio.

Supplemental executive retirement plan - The Company also provides supplemental executive retirement plans to certain key executives. These plans provide key executives with certain benefits upon retirement, disability or death based upon total compensation. The Company has purchased individual life insurance policies with respect to each employee covered by this plan. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the insurance contracts. The Company’s expense for these plans was $4,869, $4,942 and $3,732 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The liability associated with these plans was $41,676 and $46,084 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized approximately an $87,427 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, of which $6,195 was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings, $4,505 was accounted for as a reduction to a liability previously accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies”, and a $76,727 increase related to temporary items. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Included in the unrecognized tax benefits of $61,286 at December 31, 2007 was $4,086 of tax benefits that, if recognized, would increase the annual effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes interest and accrues penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in current income tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $1,300 in interest and penalties related to the uncertain tax positions. The Company had accrued approximately $5,632 for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2007.

During the current year, the Company executed closing agreements with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for all federal examinations on tax years 1994 through 2004. Tax years 2005 and 2006 are still open to federal examination by the IRS. The Company is not currently under federal examination. The Company does not expect significant increases or decreases to the unrecognized tax benefits in 2008. Also, the Company does not expect significant increases or decreases relating to state and local audits.

The Company has reduced its liability for tax contingencies in each of the last three years due to the completion of Internal Revenue Service examinations.

Deferred income taxes represent the tax effect of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The tax effect of temporary differences, which give rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, are as follows:

The Company, together with certain of its subsidiaries, and GWL&A Financial have entered into an income tax allocation agreement whereby GWL&A Financial files a consolidated federal income tax return. Under the agreement, these companies are responsible for and will receive the benefits of any income tax liability or benefit computed on a separate tax return basis. Certain other subsidiaries file their federal income tax returns separately.

Included in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2007 and 2006 is $135 and $12,034 of income taxes payable in other liabilities related to the separate federal income tax returns filed by certain subsidiaries and other state income tax receivables.

18. Segment Information

The Company has three business segments: Individual Markets, Retirement Services and Other. The Individual Markets segment distributes life insurance and individual annuity products to both individuals and businesses through various distribution channels. Life insurance products in-force include participating and non-participating term life, whole life, universal life and variable universal life. The Retirement Services segment provides enrollment services, communication materials, various investment options and education services to employer-sponsored defined contribution and voluntary 403(b) plans, as well as comprehensive administrative and record-keeping services for financial institutions and employers. The Company’s Other segment includes corporate items not directly allocated to any of its other business segments, interest expense on long-term debt and the activities of a wholly owned subsidiary whose sole business is the assumption of a certain block of term life insurance from an affiliated company. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately as each segment has its own unique distribution channels.

On January 1, 2007, the Company’s business segments were redefined from prior periods whereby the Individual Markets and Retirement Services segments (formerly combined as the Company’s Financial Services segment) were identified and reported separately. As discussed in Note 2, substantially all of the Company’s former Healthcare segment has been reclassified as discontinued operations and, accordingly, is no longer reported as a separate business segment. The Company will retain a small portion of its Healthcare business and will report it within its Individual Markets segment. The segment reporting for prior periods has been restated to reflect these changes in business segments.

The accounting policies of each of the business segments are the same as those described in Note 1. The Company evaluates performance of its reportable segments based on their profitability from operations after income taxes. All material inter-segment transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s operations are not materially dependent on one or a few customers, brokers or agents.

19. Share-Based Compensation

Lifeco, of which the Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, has a stock option plan (the “Lifeco plan”) that provides for the granting of options on its common shares to certain of its officers and employees and those of its subsidiaries, including the Company. Options are granted with exercise prices not less than the market price of the shares on the date of the grant. Termination of employment prior to the vesting of the options results in the forfeiture of the unvested options. The Lifeco plan provides for the granting of options with varying terms and vesting requirements. Generally, options under the Lifeco plan vest and become exercisable twenty percent per year commencing on the first anniversary of the grant and expire ten years from the date of grant.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, applying the modified prospective transition method of adoption; accordingly, the results of prior years have not been restated. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based payment awards under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB No. 25 and the related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized $3,816 and $4,525, respectively, in its consolidated statements of income related to share-based compensation expense which is included in general insurance expenses in the consolidated statements of income. No share-based compensation cost was recognized in the consolidated statement of income during the year ended December 31, 2005 since the stock options granted prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123R had exercise prices equal to the market value of the underlying Lifeco common stock on the date of grant.

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

Under the modified prospective transition method, share-based compensation cost related to the unvested portion of awards outstanding at the time of adoption of SFAS No. 123R is recognized in earnings rateably over the future vesting periods of the awards. For share-based compensation awards that are granted or modified after the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, compensation cost is recognized in earnings using the accelerated attribution method permitted under SFAS No. 123R.

The Lifeco plan contains a provision that permits a retiring option holder with unvested stock options on the date of retirement to continue to vest in them post retirement for a period of up to five years. Upon the retirement of an option holder with unvested options, the Company accelerates the recognition period to the date of retirement for any unrecognized share-based compensation cost related thereto and recognizes it in its earnings at that time. At December 31, 2007, the Company had $6,663, net of estimated forfeitures, of unrecognized share-based compensation costs, which will be recognized in its earnings through 2014. The weighted average period over which these costs will be recognized in earnings is 2.3 years.

The following table summarizes the status of, and changes in, the Lifeco plan options granted to Company employees which are outstanding at December 31, 2007. The options granted relate to stock traded in Canadian dollars on the Toronto Stock Exchange, therefore, the amounts, which are presented in United States dollars, will fluctuate as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R, the Company’s income before income taxes and net income were lower by $3,816 and $3,366, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007 and by $4,525 and $4,038, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006 than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not have an effect on the Company’s cash flow. The cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options are received and retained by Lifeco.

21. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, the resolution of these proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of its operations.

The Company has entered into a corporate credit facility agreement in the amount of $50,000 for general corporate purposes. The credit facility matures on May 26, 2010. Interest accrues at a rate dependent upon various conditions and terms of borrowings. The agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum adjusted net worth of $900,000 plus 50% of its net income, if positive (both compiled by the unconsolidated statutory accounting basis prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), for each quarter ending after March 31, 2005. The Company had no borrowings under the credit facility at either December 31, 2007 or 2006 and was in compliance with all covenants.

Item 9.

Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure


 

 

 

There has been no change in the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm nor have there been any disagreements on accounting or financial disclosure matters.


 

 

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures


 

 

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

 

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

 

 

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this evaluation, management used criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2007.

 

 

 

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer hereby confirm that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Contract Owners of
Variable Annuity -1 Series Account of
Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Variable Annuity -1 Series Account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the “Series Account”) as of December 31, 2007, by investment division, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, by investment division, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, by investment division, and the financial highlights included in Note 5 for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Series Account’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 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Series Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Series 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 included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 Variable Annuity -1 Series Account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company as of December 31, 2007, by investment division, the results of its operations for the year then ended, by investment division, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, by investment division, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, by investment division, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

VARIABLE ANNUITY-1 SERIES ACCOUNT OF
GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2007



 

 

 

1.

ORGANIZATION

 

 

 

 

The Variable Annuity-1 Series Account (the Series Account), a separate account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the Company), was established under Colorado law. The Series Account commenced operations on November 1, 1996. As of May 3, 2001, the Company began offering a new contract in the Series Account (Schwab Signature Annuity). The original contract in the Series Account is designated the Schwab Select Annuity. The Series Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Series Account is a funding vehicle for both group and individual variable annuity contracts. The Series Account consists of numerous investment divisions with each investment division being treated as an individual separate account and investing all of its investible assets in the named underlying mutual fund.

 

 

 

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Series Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Company’s other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Series Account’s assets applicable to the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to the Series Account is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

 

 

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

 

Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Series Account is evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of FAS 157 will have on its financial statements.

 

 

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits an entity to measure financial instruments and certain other items at estimated fair value. Most of the provisions of FAS 159 are elective; however, the amendment to FASB No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, applies to all entities that own trading and available-for-sale securities. The fair value option (a) may generally be applied instrument by instrument, (b) is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs, and (c) must be applied to the entire instrument and not to only a portion of the instrument. FAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Series Account adopted the provisions of FAS 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption had no impact on the financial statements.




 

 

 

Security Transactions

 

 

 

Investments made in the underlying mutual funds are valued at the reported net asset values of such underlying mutual funds, which value their investment securities at fair value. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Income from dividends and gains from realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date.

 

 

 

Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are computed on the basis of the identified cost of the investment sold.

 

 

 

One or more of the underlying investment divisions may invest in governmental agencies, foreign issuers and high yield bonds.

 

 

 

Investments in securities of governmental agencies may only be guaranteed by the respective agency’s limited authority to borrow from the U.S. Government and may not be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

 

 

 

The underlying investment divisions may have elements of risk due to concentrated investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country. Such concentrations may subject the underlying investment divisions to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions and/or possible impositions of adverse foreign governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions.

 

 

 

The underlying investment divisions invest in high yield bonds, some of which may be rated below investment grade. These high yield bonds may be more susceptible than higher grade bonds to real or perceived adverse economic or industry conditions. The secondary market, on which high yield bonds are traded, may also be less liquid than the market for higher grade bonds.

 

 

 

Contracts in the Payout Phase

 

 

 

Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout phase are computed according to the 2000 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. The assumed investment return is 5 percent. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the variable annuity account by the Company to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Company and recorded as surrenders reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

 

 

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

 

 

The operations of the Series Account are included in the federal income tax return of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Series Account to the extent the earnings are credited under the contracts. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Series Account for federal income taxes. The Company will review periodically the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts.

 

 

 

Net Transfers

 

 

 

Net transfers include transfers between investment divisions of the Series Account as well as transfers between other investment options of the Company, not included in the Series Account.

 

 

 

Investment Income Ratio

 

 

 

The Investment Income Ratio represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the investment division from the underlying mutual fund divided by average net assets. The ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values and




 

 

 

has been annualized for any investment division not having a full year of operations. The recognition of investment income by the investment division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the investment division invests.

EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

 

 

Contract Maintenance Charge

 

 

 

The Company deducts from each participant account in the Schwab Select Annuity, a $25 annual maintenance charge on accounts under $50,000 as of each contract’s anniversary date.

 

 

 

Transfer Fees

 

 

 

The Company charges $10 in the Schwab Select Annuity for each transfer between investment divisions in excess of 12 transfers in any calendar year.




 

 

 

Deductions for Premium Taxes

 

 

 

The Company deducts from each contribution in both the Schwab Select Annuity and Schwab Signature Annuity any applicable state Premium Tax or retaliatory tax, which currently range from 0% to 3.5%.

 

 

 

Deductions for Assumption of Mortality and Expense Risks

 

 

 

The Company deducts an amount, computed daily, from the net asset value of the Schwab Select Annuity investments, equal to an annual rate of 0.85%, and an amount, computed daily, from the net asset value of the Schwab Signature Annuity investments, equal to an annual rate of 0.65% to 0.85% depending on the benefit option chosen. This charge compensates the Company for its assumption of certain mortality, death benefit, and expense risks.

 

 

 

If the above charges prove insufficient to cover actual costs and assumed risks, the loss will be borne by the Company; conversely, if the amounts deducted prove more than sufficient, the excess will be a profit to the Company.

 

 

5.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

 

 

For Schwab Select Annuity, a summary of accumulation units outstanding for variable annuity contracts, the range of the lowest to highest expense ratio, excluding expenses of the underlying funds, the related total return and the related accumulation unit fair values for the five years ended December 31, 2007 is included on the following pages. For Schwab Signature Annuity, a summary of accumulation units outstanding for variable annuity contracts, the range of the lowest to highest expense ratio, excluding expenses of the underlying funds, the related total return and the related accumulation unit fair values for the five years ended December 31, 2007 is included on the following pages. The unit values in the Financial Highlights are calculated based on the net assets and accumulation units outstanding as of December 31 of each year presented and may differ from the unit value reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities due to rounding. In certain instances the lowest unit fair value and total return exceed the highest due to the impact of contracts which were not inforce for the full year.

 

 

 

The Expense Ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the Series Account, consisting of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded.

 

 

 

The Total Return amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated for each period shown and, accordingly, is not annualized for periods less than one year. As the total return for Schwab Signature Annuity for each of the periods in the five years ended December 31, 2007 is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.

.Indemnification

 

Provisions exist under the Colorado Business Corporation Act and the Bylaws of GWL&A whereby GWL&A may indemnify a director, officer, or controlling person of GWL&A against liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933. The following excerpts contain the substance of these provisions:

 

C-7

 

 

Colorado Business Corporation Act

Article 109 - INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 7-109-101. Definitions.

 

 

As used in this Article:

 

 

(1)

"Corporation" includes any domestic or foreign entity that is a predecessor of the corporation by reason of a merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which the predecessor's existence ceased upon consummation of the transaction.

 

(2) "Director" means an individual who is or was a director of a corporation or an individual who, while a director of a corporation, is or was serving at the corporation's request as a director, an officer, an agent, an associate, an employee, a fiduciary, a manager, a member, a partner, a promoter, or a trustee of, or to hold any similar position with, another domestic or foreign entity or of an employee benefit plan. A director is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the corporation's request if the director's duties to the corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, the director to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan. "Director" includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate or personal representative of a director.

 

 

(3)

"Expenses" includes counsel fees.

 

 

(4)

"Liability" means the obligation incurred with respect to a proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses.

 

 

(5)

"Official capacity" means, when used with respect to a director, the office of director in the corporation and, when used with respect to a person other than a director as contemplated in Section 7-109-107, the office in a corporation held by the officer or the employment, fiduciary, or agency relationship undertaken by the employee, fiduciary, or agent on behalf of the corporation. "Official capacity" does not include service for any other domestic or foreign corporation or other person or employee benefit plan.

 

 

(6)

"Party" includes a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.

 

 

(7)

"Proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal.

 

Section 7-109-102. Authority to indemnify directors.

 

 

(1)

Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, a corporation may indemnify a person made a party to the proceeding because the person is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:

 

 

(a)

The person conducted himself or herself in good faith; and

 

 

(b)

The person reasonably believed:

 

 

(I)

In the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that his or her conduct was in the corporation's best interests; and

 

 

(II)

In all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests; and

 

C-9

 

 

(c)

In the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

 

(2)

A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the director reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirements of subparagraph (II) of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section. A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose that the director did not reasonably believe to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed not to satisfy the requirements of subparagraph (a) of subsection (1) of this section.

 

 

(3)

The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the standard of conduct described in this section.

 

 

(4)

A corporation may not indemnify a director under this section:

 

 

(a)

In connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or

 

 

(b)

In connection with any proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which proceeding the director was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived an improper personal benefit.

 

 

(5)

Indemnification permitted under this section in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of a corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

 

 

Section 7-109-103. Mandatory Indemnification of Directors.

 

Unless limited by the articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the proceeding.

 

 

Section 7-109-104. Advance of Expenses to Directors.

 

 

(1)

A corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if:

 

 

(a)

The director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of the director’s good-faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct described in Section 7-109-102;

 

 

(b)

The director furnishes the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on the director's behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet such standard of conduct; and

 

 

(c)

A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this article.

 

C-9

 

 

(2)

The undertaking required by paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director, but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

 

 

(3)

Determinations and authorizations of payments under this section shall be made in the manner specified in Section 7-109-106.

 

Section 7-109-105. Court-Ordered Indemnification of Directors.

 

 

(1)

Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, a director who is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court, after giving any notice the court considers necessary, may order indemnification in the following manner:

 

 

(a)

If it determines the director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under section 7-109-103, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the court shall also order the corporation to pay the director's reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.

 

 

(b)

If it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director met the standard of conduct set forth in section 7-109-102 (1) or was adjudged liable in the circumstances described in Section 7-109-102 (4), the court may order such indemnification as the court deems proper; except that the indemnification with respect to any proceeding in which liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described Section 7-109-102 (4) is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding and reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.

 

Section 7-109-106. Determination and Authorization of Indemnification of Directors.

 

 

(1)

A corporation may not indemnify a director under Section 7-109-102 unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because he has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 7-109-102. A corporation shall not advance expenses to a director under Section 7-109-104 unless authorized in the specific case after the written affirmation and undertaking required by Section 7-109-104(1)(a) and (1)(b) are received and the determination required by Section 7-109-104(1)(c) has been made.

 

 

(2)

The determinations required by under subsection (1) of this section shall be made:

 

 

(a)

By the board of directors by a majority vote of those present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, and only those directors not parties to the proceeding shall be counted in satisfying the quorum.

 

 

(b)

If a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the board of directors designated by the board of directors, which committee shall consist of two or more directors not parties to the proceeding; except that directors who are parties to the proceeding may participate in the designation of directors for the committee.

 

 

(3)

If a quorum cannot be obtained as contemplated in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of this section, and the committee cannot be established under paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of this section, or even if a quorum is obtained or a committee designated, if a majority of the

directors constituting such quorum or such committee so directs, the determination required to be made by subsection (1) of this section shall be made:

 

C-11

 

 

(a)

By independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the board of directors or the committee in the manner specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (2) of this section or, if a quorum of the full board cannot be obtained and a committee cannot be established, by independent legal counsel selected by a majority vote of the full board of directors; or

 

 

(b)

By the shareholders.

 

 

(4)

Authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible; except that, if the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible is made by independent legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made by the body that selected such counsel.

 

 

Section 7-109-107. Indemnification of Officers, Employees, Fiduciaries, and Agents.

 

 

(1)

Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation:

 

 

(a)

An officer is entitled to mandatory indemnification under section 7-109-103, and is entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification under section 7-109-105, in each case to the same extent as a director;

 

 

(b)

A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as a director; and

 

 

(c)

A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent who is not a director to a greater extent, if not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by its bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or shareholders, or contract.

 

 

Section 7-109-108. Insurance.

 

A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another domestic or foreign entity or of an employee benefit plan, against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from his or her status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify the person against the same liability under section 7-109-102, 7-109-103, or 7-109-107. Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance company designated by the board of directors, whether such insurance company is formed under the law of this state or any other jurisdiction of the United States or elsewhere, including any insurance company in which the corporation has an equity or any other interest through stock ownership or otherwise.

 

Section 7-109-109. Limitation of Indemnification of Directors.

 

 

(1)

A provision concerning a corporation's indemnification of, or advance of expenses to, directors that is contained in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, in a resolution of its shareholders or board of directors, or in a contract, except for an insurance policy or otherwise, is valid only to the extent the provision is not inconsistent with Sections 7-109-101 to 7-109- 108. If the articles of incorporation limit indemnification or advance of expenses, indemnification or advance of expenses are valid only to the extent not inconsistent with the articles of incorporation.

108. If the articles of incorporation limit indemnification or advance of expenses, indemnification or advance of expenses are valid only to the extent not inconsistent with the articles of incorporation.

 

C-11

 

 

(2)

Sections 7-109-101 to 7-109-108 do not limit a corporation's power to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with an appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when he or she has not been made a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.

 

 

Section 7-109-110. Notice to Shareholders of Indemnification of Director.

 

If a corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to a director under this article in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation shall give written notice of the indemnification or advance to the shareholders with or before the notice of the next shareholders' meeting. If the next shareholder action is taken without a meeting at the instigation of the board of directors, such notice shall be given to the shareholders at or before the time the first shareholder signs a writing consenting to such action.
