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, if you retain your Contract, annuitize your Contract or if you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period, your costs would be:
                                                                    
 
 1 year   3 years            5 years   10 years
       
 $320     $1,028   $1,832  $4,342
 
 
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 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 OneSource Annuity® 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.

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 32.
 
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  
 

 
10

 

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.
 
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 OneSource Annuity. 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 several Sub-Accounts.  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 investment options, 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 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.  If you received a summary prospectus for a Portfolio, please follow the directions on the first page of the summary prospectus to obtain a copy of the Portfolio Prospectus.
 
Each Portfolio:
·  
holds its assets separately from the assets of the other Portfolios,
·  
has its own distinct investment objectives and policies, and
·  
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:

Next, the portfolio managers focus on stock selection, as opposed to making proactive decisions as to industry or sector exposure, to construct the portfolio. The portfolio managers seek to maintain a portfolio that has exposure to industries and market capitalizations that are generally similar to the S&P 400

The Portfolio also may invest in companies which it considers undervalued in terms of earnings, assets or growth prospects. The Sub- Adviser is Fayez Sarofim & Co.
 
Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund Growth and Income Portfolio-Initial Shares seeks long-term capital growth, current income and growth of income consistent with reasonable investment risk. To pursue its goal, the Portfolio normally invests primarily in stocks of domestic and foreign issuers.  The Portfolio’s stock investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and American Depositary Receipts. The portfolio managers create a broadly diversified portfolio for the Portfolio that includes a blend of growth and dividend paying stocks.

The Portfolio’s investment process is designed to provide investors with investment exposure to sector weightings and risk characteristics similar to those of the Standard & Poor’s® 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index).

The portfolio managers monitor the stocks in the Portfolio, and consider selling a security if the company’s business momentum deteriorates or valuation becomes excessive. The portfolio managers also may sell a security if an event occurs that contradicts the portfolio managers’ rationale for owning it, such as deterioration in the company’s financial fundamentals. In addition, the portfolio managers may sell a security if better investment opportunities emerge elsewhere, or if the portfolio managers change the Portfolio’s industry or sector weightings.

Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund Opportunistic Small Cap Portfolio-Initial Shares (formerly Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund Developing Leaders Portfolio) seeks capital growth.  To pursue this goal, the Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in the stocks of small-cap companies.  The Portfolio currently considers small-cap companies to be those companies with market capitalizations that fall within the range of companies in the Russell 2000 Index at the time of purchase.  As of December 31, 2009, the market capitalization range of companies in the Russell 2000 Index was between $13 million and $5 billion.  Because the Portfolio may continue to hold a security whose market capitalization increases or decreases, a substantial portion of the Portfolio’s holdings can have market capitalizations outside the range of the Russell 2000 Index at any given time.  Stocks are selected for the Portfolio based primarily on bottom-up fundamental analysis.  The Portfolio’s managers use a disciplined investment process that relies, in general, on proprietary fundamental research and valuation.  Generally, elements of the process include analysis of mid-cycle business prospects, estimation of the intrinsic value of the company and the identification of a revaluation trigger.  Intrinsic value is based on the combination of the valuation assessment of the company’s operating divisions with the firm’s economic balance sheet.  Mid-cycle estimates, growth prospects and competitive advantages are some of the factors used in the valuation assessment.  A company’s stated and hidden liabilities and assets are included in the Portfolio managers’ economic balance sheet calculation.  Sector overweights and underweights are a function of the relative attractiveness of securities within the Portfolio’s investable universe.  The Portfolio’s managers invest in stocks that they believe have attractive reward to risk opportunities and may actively adjust the Portfolio to reflect new developments.  In general, the Portfolio’s managers seek exposure to securities and sectors that are perceived to be attractive from a valuation and fundamental standpoint.  The Portfolio’s sector weightings and risk characteristics are a result of bottom-up fundamental analysis and may vary from those of the Russell 2000 Index, the Portfolio’s benchmark, at any given time.  The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the small capitalization sector of the U.S. equity market.  The Portfolio may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs) and similarly structured pooled investments in order to provide exposure to certain equity markets.  The Portfolio typically sells a stock when it approaches intrinsic value, a significant deterioration of fundamental expectations develops, the revaluation catalyst becomes impaired or a better risk/reward is presented in the marketplace.

Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA–Non-Service Shares seeks long term capital appreciation by investing a substantial portion of its assets in securities of foreign issuers, “growth-type” companies, cyclical industries and special situations that are considered to have appreciation possibilities.  Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests mainly in common stocks of U.S. and foreign companies.  The Portfolio can invest without limit in foreign securities and can invest in any country, including countries with developed or emerging markets.  However, the Portfolio currently emphasizes investments in developed markets such as the United States, Western Europe countries and Japan.  The Portfolio does not limit its investments to companies in a particular capitalization range, but currently focuses its investments in mid- and large-cap companies.  The Portfolio is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries.  As a fundamental policy, the Portfolio normally will invest in at least three countries (one of which may be the United States).  Typically, the Portfolio invests in a number of different countries.
 
Oppenheimer International Growth Fund/VA–Non-Service Shares seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of issuers that are domiciled or have their primary operations in at least three different countries outside of the United States and may invest 100% of its assets in foreign companies.  The Portfolio mainly invests in “growth companies,” which are companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to increase at a faster rate than the overall market.  The Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its total assets in emerging markets.  The Portfolio considers an issuer to be located in an emerging market if it is domiciled or has its primary operations in emerging markets (directly or indirectly).  From time to time, the Portfolio may place greater emphasis on investing in one or more particular industries, countries, or regions, such as Asia, Europe or Latin America.  The Portfolio’s manager looks primarily for high growth potential using a “bottom up” investment approach on a company-by-company basis.  That approach looks at the investment performance of individual stocks before considering the impact of general or industry-specific economic trends.  It includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company’s operations and product development, as well as its position in its industry.  The Portfolio’s manager currently focuses on the following factors:  companies that enjoy a strong competitive position and high demand for their products or services; companies with accelerating earnings growth and cash flow; and diversity among countries, companies and industries to seek to reduce the risks of foreign investing, such as currency fluctuations and market volatility.  The consideration of those factors may vary in particular cases and may change over time.  The Portfolio’s manager also considers the effects of worldwide trends on the growth of particular business sectors and looks for companies that may benefit from those trends.  The trends currently considered include:  mass affluence, new technologies, restructuring and aging.  The Portfolio’s manager does not invest any fixed amount of the Portfolio’s assets according to these criteria, which may change over time.  The Portfolio’s manager monitors individual issuers for changes in these factors, which may trigger a decision to sell a security.  The Portfolio does not limit its investment to issuers within a specific market capitalization range and at times may invest in both smaller, less well-known companies and larger, more established companies that the Portfolio’s manager believes have favorable prospects for capital growth relative to the market.  The Portfolio may invest a substantial portion of its assets in stocks of small to mid-sized companies.  The price of those stocks may be more volatile than the price of stocks issued by larger companies.  The Portfolio primarily invests in common stock but may also buy preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks and other securities having equity features.  The Portfolio typically does not invest in debt securities to a significant degree but can invest up to 20% of its total assets in debt securities when the Portfolio’s manager believes that it is appropriate to do so in order to seek the Portfolio’s objective.  The Portfolio can invest up to 15% of its total assets in debt securities that are below investment grade, commonly referred to as “junk bonds.”  The Portfolio can also use derivative instruments, such as options, futures, forwards and swaps, to seek higher investment returns or to try to manage investment risks.

Sentinel Variable Products Small Company Fund seeks growth of capital. The Small Company Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in small-capitalization companies. This principal investment strategy is a non-fundamental policy that may not be changed without 60 days’ prior notice to the Portfolio’s shareholders. For this purpose, small companies are considered to be companies that have, at the time of purchase, market capitalizations of less than $3 billion. The Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks of small companies that Sentinel believes are high quality, have superior business models, solid management teams, sustainable growth potential and are attractively valued. The weighted median market capitalization of the Portfolio’s holdings as of March 31, 2008 was $1.38 billion. Market capitalization is the total value of all the outstanding shares of common stock of a company.

Sentinel Variable Products Common Stock Fund seeks a combination of growth of capital, current income, growth of income and relatively low risk as compared with the stock market as a whole.  The Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks. This principal investment strategy is a non-fundamental policy that may not be changed without 60 days’ prior written notice to the Portfolio’s shareholders. The Portfolio invests mainly in a diverse group of common stocks of well-established companies, typically above $5 billion in market capitalization, most of which pay regular dividends. When appropriate, the Portfolio also may invest in preferred stocks or debentures convertible into common stocks. Up to 25% of the Portfolio’s assets may be invested in securities within a single industry. The Portfolio may invest without limitation in foreign securities, although only where the securities are trading in the U.S. or Canada and only where trading is denominated in U.S. or Canadian dollars.

Sentinel Variable Products Bond Fund seeks high current income while seeking to control risk.  The Portfolio invests mainly in investment grade bonds. The Portfolio will invest exclusively in fixed-income securities, and to a limited extent in related derivatives. At least 80% of the Portfolio’s assets will normally be invested in the following types of bonds:  (1) Corporate bonds which at the time of purchase are rated within the four highest rating categories of Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization; (2) Debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, including the mortgage-backed securities and dollar roll transactions described for the Balanced Portfolio; (3) Debt securities (payable in U.S. dollars) issued or guaranteed by Canadian governmental entities; and (4) Debt obligations of domestic banks or bank holding companies, even though not rated by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s, that Sentinel believes have investment qualities comparable to investment-grade corporate securities.  The Portfolio’s policy of investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in bonds is a nonfundamental policy that may not be changed without 60 days’ prior notice to the Portfolio’s shareholders. The Portfolio may also invest in other fixed income securities, such as straight or convertible debt securities and straight or convertible preferred stocks. The Portfolio will invest no more than 20% of its total assets in lower quality bonds, sometimes called “junk bonds.” These bonds, because of the greater possibility that the issuers will default, are not investment grade - that is, they are rated below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or below Baa by Moody’s, or are unrated but considered by Sentinel to be of comparable credit quality. Up to 25% of the Portfolio’s assets may be invested in securities within a single industry. The Portfolio utilizes an active trading approach, which may result in portfolio turnover greater than 100%.

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 with high quality assets and a relative absence of liabilities)  at a discount to what the adviser believes is their intrinsic value (meaning the value of the company’s net assets or the adviser’s estimate of what the issuer would be worth as a takeover or merger candidate). The Portfolio also seeks to acquire senior securities, and debt instruments (including high-yield and “junk” bonds and distressed securities that may be in default and may have any or no credit rating from a credit rating agency) where the adviser determines that these securities can be purchased at less than the value of the assets securing the debt or the amount that would be realized in a restricting.  The adviser searches for companies that meet these criteria all over the world and makes investment decisions based primarily on the attributes of each individual company and security rather than any estimates of macro-economic or sector performance.  Accordingly, the Portfolio may invest in foreign securities, some of which may be denominated in or tied to currencies of the countries in which they are primarily traded.  The Portfolio may invest in companies of any market capitalization, including companies that are considered ranging from small-cap to large-cap by relevant rating and tracking agencies such as S&P.  
 
When the Portfolio acquires debt securities, it primarily does so where the adviser believes that those securities will be worth significantly more when they are eventually sold, redeemed, mature or are converted into another form through a company restructuring.  These securities may be defaulted or may be paying a current yield, but the Portfolio does not generally seek interest income as a primary strategy.  The adviser, on behalf of the Portfolio, may also participate on committees formed by the creditors to negotiate with debtors with respect to restructuring issues.  The Portfolio is non-diversified.  This means that the Portfolio may have investments in fewer issuers than a diversified portfolio of comparable size.

Effective May 1, 2009, the Sub-Account investing in this Portfolio was closed to new Contributions and incoming Transfers (including Automatic Custom Transfers).

You may also visit www.schwab.com/annuity.
 
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  94120-7666.
 
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 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.
 
 
26

 
 
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. ET. Subsequent Contributions received on days the New York Stock Exchange is closed or received after 4 p.m. ET 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. ET) on each valuation date and ends at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the next succeeding valuation date.

 
27

 

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 the Annuity Service Center 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. ET. Any Transfer request received after 4:00 p.m. ET 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.
 
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  

 
28

 
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 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   
 

 
29

 

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 an 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.
 

How dollar cost averaging works:
 

Month
 
Contribution
   
Units Purchased
   
Price per unit
 
Jan.
  $ 250       10     $ 25.00  
Feb.
    250       12       20.83  
Mar.
    250       20       12.50  
Apr.
    250       20       12.50  
May
    250       15       16.67  
June
    250       12       20.83  
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.
 

 
30

 
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.
 
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.
 
 
31

 
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 advisor 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 38.
 
Telephone and Internet Transactions
You may make Transfer requests by telephone, fax and/or by Internet. Transfer requests received before 4:00 p.m. ET will be made on that day at that day’s unit value. Those received after 4:00 p.m. ET 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.
 
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 34 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.

 
32

 
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 25%, or $75,000, and then reduced by 33%, or $24,750, to equal $50,250). 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 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.
 

 
33

 

 
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.
 
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.
 

 
34

 

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.
 
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
 
35

 

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 reflect 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 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:
 

 
36

 

·  
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 31.
 
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.

 
37

 

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
Payouts after the first will vary depending upon the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts. Your payouts will increase in amount over time if the Sub-Accounts you select earn more than the 5% AIR. Likewise, your payouts will decrease over time if the Sub-Accounts you select earn less than the 5% AIR. The subsequent amount paid from each Sub-Account is 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 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 advisor 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 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
 

 
39

 

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 benefit 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 advisor 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 advisor.
 
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.
 
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

 
40

 

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.
 
In March 2008, the IRS issued Rev. Proc. 2008-24, which addresses the income tax consequences of the direct transfer of a portion of the cash value of an annuity contract in exchange for the issuance of a second annuity contract. A direct transfer that satisfies the revenue procedure will be treated as a tax-free exchange under section 1035 of the Code if, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of the direct transfer, there are no distributions or surrenders from either annuity contract involved in the exchange. In addition, the tax-free status of the exchange may still be preserved despite a distribution or surrender from either contract if the contract owner can show that between the date of the direct transfer and the distribution or surrender, one of the conditions described under section 72(q)(2) of the Code that would exempt the distribution from the 10% early distribution penalty (such as turning age 59½, or becoming disabled; but not a series of substantially equal periodic payments or an immediate annuity) or “other similar life event” such as divorce or loss of employment occurred. Absent a showing of such an occurrence, Rev. Proc. 2008-24 concludes that the direct transfer would fail to qualify as a tax-free 1035 exchange, and the full amount transferred from the original contract would be treated as a taxable distribution, followed by the purchase of a new annuity contract. Rev. Proc. 2008-24 applies to direct transfers completed on or after June 30, 2008. Please discuss any tax consequences concerning any contemplated or completed transactions with a competent tax advisor.

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.
 
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 211 Main Street, San Francisco, California 94105.
 
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 under the Exchange Act and is a member of FINRA. Its principal offices are located at 8515 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 36 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:
 

 
42

 

·  
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.

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 Variable Annuity-1 Series Account (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.

 
B-3

 
    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 investors.

 
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 consolidated financial statements of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and subsidiaries included in this Prospectus and 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 report expresses an unqualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and subsidiaries and includes an explanatory paragraph referring to the change in accounting for the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments for certain investments, as required by accounting guidance adopted on April 1, 2009, and both have been so included in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

 
B-4

 
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
 
Certain administrative services are provided by GWFS to assist the Company in processing the Contracts.  These services are described in written agreements between GWFS and the Company.  The total compensation paid to GWFS in connection with these services was zero for the last three fiscal years.
 

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, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2009.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15.  These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated 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, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, 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 2, the Company changed its accounting for the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments for certain investments, as required by accounting guidance adopted on April 1, 2009.

1.  Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization - Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“GWLA”) 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 a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco U.S. Inc. (“Lifeco U.S.”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco Inc. (“Lifeco”).  The Company offers a wide range of life insurance, 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 valuation of investments and other-than-temporary impairments, recognition of income on certain investments, valuation and accounting for derivative instruments, goodwill, deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired, policy and contract benefits and claims, 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.  Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholder’s equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Net unrealized gains and losses related to participating contract policies that cannot be distributed are recorded as undistributed earnings on participating business in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The Company recognizes the acquisition of its fixed maturity and equity investments on a trade date basis.

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

The Company purchases fixed maturity securities which are 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.

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.  Prepayments on all mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are monitored monthly and amortization of the premium and/or the accretion of the discount associated with the purchase of such securities are adjusted by such prepayments.

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  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 minor interest and has influence in the entity’s operating and financial policies, but does not have a controlling interest.  Realized gains and losses are included in net realized gains (losses) on investments. Declines in value, determined to be other-than-temporary, are included in total other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized.

 4.
Limited partnership interests are accounted for using the cost method of accounting.  The Company uses this method since it has a minor equity interest and virtually no influence over the entity’s operations.  Also included in 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.  See item 10 below for a description of realization of other-than-temporary impairments.

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 loaned 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.

10.
One of the significant estimates inherent in the valuation of investments is the evaluation of investments for other-than-temporary impairments.  The evaluation of impairments is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties and is intended to determine whether declines in the fair value of investments should be recognized in current period earnings.  The risks and uncertainties include changes in general economic conditions, the issuer’s financial condition or near term recovery prospects, the effects of changes in interest rates or credit spreads and the recovery period.  The Company’s accounting policy requires that a decline in the value of a security below its cost or amortized cost basis be assessed to determine if the decline is other-than-temporary.  If management either (a) has the intent to sell the fixed maturity investment or (b) it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery, a charge is recorded in net realized losses on investments equal to the difference between the fair value and cost or amortized cost basis of the security.  If management does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected (discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed maturity investment prior to impairment) is less than the amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity investment (referred to as the credit loss portion), an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred.  In this instance, total other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated into two components: the amount related to the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings; and the amount attributed to other factors (referred to as the non-credit portion), which is recognized as a separate component in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  After the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment, the fixed maturity investment is accounted for as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the other-than-temporary impairment, with an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings.

If management does not have the ability and intent to hold an impaired available-for-sale equity investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its value to an amount equal or greater than its cost, then the investment shall be deemed other-than-temporarily impaired.  An impairment loss is recorded in earnings for the difference between the equity investment’s cost and fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made.
 
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 (loss) 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.  Certain derivatives in a net asset position have cash pledged as collateral to the Company in accordance with the collateral support agreements with the counterparty. This collateral is held directly by the Company.  This unrestricted cash collateral is included in other assets and the obligation to return is included in other liabilities.

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, 2009 and 2008, these liabilities were $28,674 and $8,817, respectively.

Internal use software – Purchased software costs, as well as certain internal and external costs incurred to develop internal use computer software during the application development stage are capitalized.  Capitalized internal use software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, in the amounts of $20,590 and $14,944, are included in other assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Company capitalized $8,014, $2,324 and $3,504 of internal use software development costs during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired - Deferred acquisition costs (“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.  The value of business acquired (“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 and is considered an indefinite lived asset and therefore is not amortized.  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, 2009, 2008 or 2007.

Other intangible assets represent the estimated fair value of the portion of the purchase price that was allocated to the value of customer relationships and preferred provider relationships 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. and Putnam Funds, open-end management investment companies, which are affiliates of the Company, and 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 contractholders 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 purchase guaranteed interest annuity contracts issued by the Company.  During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, these purchases totaled $149,302 and $64,723, 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 $364,233 and $265,299 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, to eliminate these amounts in its consolidated balance sheets at those dates.

Life insurance and annuity future benefits - Life insurance and annuity future benefits with life contingencies in the amounts of $11,807,570 and $11,322,866 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 benefits without life contingencies in the amounts of $7,117,591 and $6,736,101 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are established at the contractholder’s account value.

Reinsurance - The Company enters into reinsurance transactions as both a provider and purchaser of reinsurance.  In the normal course of its 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.  For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines if the agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards.  If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not provide indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of accounting.  The Company reviews all contractual features, particularly those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims.

Policy benefits 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 business - The Company has participating policies in which the policyholder shares in the Company’s earnings through policyholder dividends that reflect the difference between the assumptions used in the premium charged and the actual experience on those policies.  The amount of dividends to be paid is determined by the Board of Directors.

Participating life and annuity policy benefits are $6,354,261 and $6,155,890 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Participating business approximates 9% of the Company’s individual life insurance in-force at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and 19%, 24% and 32% of individual life insurance premium income for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The policyholder’s share of net income on participating policies that cannot be distributed is excluded from stockholder’s equity by a charge to operations and a credit to a liability.

The Company had established a Participating Policyholder Experience Account (“PPEA”) for the benefit of all participating policyholders, which was included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2007.  The Company had 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 was part of the PPEA.  As discussed in Note 4, on January 1, 2008, the Company was no longer required to maintain the PPEA.

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.   Premiums and policyholder benefits and expenses are presented net of reinsurance.

Net investment income - Interest and dividend income from fixed maturities and mortgage loans on real estate is recognized when earned.  Net investment income on equity securities available-for-sale is primarily comprised of dividend income and is recognized on ex-dividend date.

Net realized gains and losses on investments and derivative financial instruments - Net realized gains and losses from investment sales are reported as a component of revenues and are determined on a specific identification basis.  Net realized gains and losses also result from the termination of derivative contracts prior to expiration that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and certain fair-value hedge relationships.  Impairments are recognized as other-than-temporary impairment losses when investment losses in value are deemed other-than-temporary.  Non-credit impairments are reclassified to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

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.

Share-based compensation - 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.  The Company uses the fair value method to recognize the cost of share-based employee compensation under the Lifeco plan.

Regulatory requirements - In accordance with the requirements of the Colorado Division of Insurance, GWLA must demonstrate that it maintains adequate capital.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, GWLA 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 contractholders.  The Company fulfills this requirement generally with the deposit of United States government obligations.

2.  Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”).  SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (the “ASC”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applied by nongovernmental entities.  All previously issued GAAP authoritative pronouncements are superseded and replaced by the ASC and are considered non-authoritative.  The ASC also established that rules and interpretative releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants.  SFAS No. 168 and the ASC are effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 168 and the ASC for its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009.

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 155”).  Effective July 1, 2009, SFAS No. 155 was superseded and replaced by certain provisions of ASC topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC topic 815”). These provisions of ASC topic 815 permit any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation to be carried at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.  In addition, these provisions of ASC topic 815 require that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets be analyzed to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or contain an embedded derivative.  These provisions of ASC topic 815 are applicable to new or modified financial instruments in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, however they may be applied to instruments that an entity holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis.  The Company adopted these provisions on January 1, 2007.  The adoption increased stockholder’s equity by $115.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”).  Effective July 1, 2009, FIN 48 was superseded and replaced by certain provisions of ASC topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC topic 740”).  These provisions of ASC topic 740 clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.  In addition, they prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return.  They also provide guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  These provisions of ASC topic 740 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted these provisions on January 1, 2007. The adoption decreased stockholder’s equity by $6,195.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”).  Effective July 1, 2009, SFAS No. 157 was superseded and replaced by certain provisions of ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC topic 820”).    These provisions enhance guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.  These provisions also provide 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.  These provisions of ASC topic 820 are applicable whenever other authoritative pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company adopted these provisions on January 1, 2008.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of its operations.

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”).  Effective July 1, 2009, SFAS No. 158 was superseded and replaced by certain provisions of ASC topic 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits” (“ASC topic 715”).  For fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, these provisions of ASC topic 715 require 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 these provisions of ASC topic 715 as of December 31, 2006, decreasing accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by $6,734.  In addition, for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2008, these provisions of ASC topic 715 require 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 adopted these measurement provisions for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, decreasing stockholder’s equity by $206. The adoption did not affect the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, or 2006.

3.  Discontinued Operations

On April 1, 2008, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries completed the sale of substantially all of their healthcare insurance business to a subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation (“CIGNA”) for $1.5 billion in cash.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized a gain in the amount of $681,528, net of income taxes, upon completion of the transaction.  Income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 includes charges in the amount of $63,739, net of income taxes, related to costs associated with the sale.

The Company adopted a restructuring plan in connection with the sale of its Healthcare segment.  The restructuring plan consisted of a structural reorganization which will enable the Company to operate effectively in its present business environment.  The liability is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.  The amounts incurred during the period and adjustments to original estimates during the period have been charged (credited) to income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2008.  At December 31, 2009, the restructuring plan was substantially complete.

The following is a reconciliation of the liability that the Company recorded related to the restructuring plan:

The Company incurred net expenses in the amount of $42,934 during the year ended December 31, 2008 related to the restructuring plan and does not anticipate incurring significant additional costs in the future.  The restructuring plan is substantially complete at December 31, 2009.

4.  Undistributed Earnings on Participating Business

During the first quarter of 2008, the liability for undistributed earnings on participating business decreased by $207,785 in connection with a long-standing assumption reinsurance agreement under which the Company had reinsured a block of participating policies.  In addition, the agreement also required the Company to perform an analysis as of March 31, 2008, to determine whether the policyholders were eligible for a special dividend.  Based on the Company’s analysis, it was determined that a special dividend was not required and, accordingly, the liability was released.  An income tax provision was recorded on the undistributed earnings when those earnings occurred.  Accordingly, there was no income tax provision recorded at the time of the liability release.  On January 1, 2008, the Company began recognizing the net earnings on these policies in its net income.  A liability for undistributed earnings on participating business remains for those participating policies that are not subject to this reinsurance agreement.

Gross realized investment losses from sales
    (267 )     (1,456 )     (4,309 )

Gross realized gains and losses from sales were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, sales of securities acquired in the current year and gains on repurchase agreement transactions.  These gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis.

The Company has fixed maturity securities with fair values in the amounts of $7,979 and $0 that have been non-income producing for the twelve months preceding December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 for risk management purposes associated with its invested assets.  Derivatives are not used for speculative purposes.  While the Company purchases all derivatives as hedges to manage risk, hedge accounting has not been elected for some derivative transactions.  To manage the Company’s interest rate risk on certain floating rate debt securities, interest rate swap agreements are used to effectively convert the floating rate on the underlying asset to a fixed rate.  In order to manage the risk of a change in the fair value of certain assets, interest rate futures are utilized.  Interest rate futures are also used to manage the interest rate risks of forecasted acquisitions of fixed rate maturity investments.  Foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with bonds denominated in other than U.S. dollars is managed through the use of foreign currency exchange contracts.  Interest rate swaptions are used to manage the potential variability in future interest payments on certain insurance products due to a change in credited interest rates and the related change in cash flows due to increased surrenders.  These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by one party to the other on a daily basis, periodic payment dates, or at the due date, expiration or termination of the agreement.

The Company controls the credit risk of its derivative contracts through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures and in some cases, requiring collateral.  The Company’s exposure is limited to the portion of the fair value of derivative instruments which exceeds the value of the collateral held and not to the notional or contractual amounts of the derivatives.  Counterparty credit risk was evaluated and fair values were adjusted accordingly at December 31, 2009 and 2008.  As the Company enters into derivative transactions only with high quality institutions, no realized losses associated with non-performance of derivative financial instruments have occurred.  The Company had no derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features at either December 31, 2009 or 2008.

Interest rate swaptions in a net asset position have cash pledged as collateral to the Company in accordance with the collateral support agreements with the counterparty.  As of December 31, 2009, the $4.3 million unrestricted cash received is included in other assets and the obligation to return is included in other liabilities.

The Company may purchase a financial instrument that contains a derivative instrument that is “embedded” in the financial instrument.  Upon purchasing the instrument, the Company determines if (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.  If the Company determines that these conditions are met, the embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a freestanding derivative.
 
Fair value hedges - Interest rate futures are used to manage the risk of the change in the fair value of certain fixed rate maturity investments.  The Company’s derivatives treated as fair value hedges are eligible for hedge accounting.  Changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative, including amounts measured as ineffective, and changes in the fair value of the hedged item are reported within net investment income.  Hedges closed are reported in realized investment gains (losses).

The Company’s use of derivatives treated as fair value hedges has been nominal during the last three years.  There was no hedge ineffectiveness during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

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 manage the foreign exchange rate risk associated with bonds denominated in other than U.S. dollars.  Interest rate futures are used to manage the interest rate risks of forecasted acquisitions of fixed rate maturity investments.  Unrealized derivative gains and losses from the effective portion of cash flow hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into earnings at the time interest income is recognized on the hedged item.

Hedge ineffectiveness in the amount of $6, $1,510 and $606 was recorded as an increase to net investment income during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
 
Derivative net gains in the amounts of $606 and $4,732 were reclassified to net investment income during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively while a derivative net loss in the amount of $1,275 was reclassified to net investment income during the year ended December 31, 2007.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company estimates that $8,828 of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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.  Interest rate swaptions are used to manage the potential variability in future interest payments on certain insurance products due to a change in credited interest rates and the related change in cash flows due to increased surrenders.  Although management believes the above-mentioned derivatives are effective hedges from an economic standpoint, they do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment.  Changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument that has not been designated as a hedging instrument are recorded in current period net investment income and total realized investment gains (losses).

During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, decreases in the amounts of $2,627, $0 and $75, respectively, were recognized in net income from market value changes of derivatives not receiving hedge accounting treatment.

The changes to the allowance for mortgage loan credit losses are recorded in net realized gains (losses) on investments.

Equity investments - The carrying value of the Company’s equity investments was $25,679 and $17,790 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Limited partnership interests and limited liability corporation interests - Limited partnership interests are accounted for using the cost method of accounting.  The Company uses this method since it has a minor equity interest and virtually no influence over the entity’s operations.  Also included in 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.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had $253,605 and $293,956, respectively, invested in limited partnerships and limited liability corporations.

The Company makes commitments to fund partnership interests in the normal course of its business.  The amounts of unfunded commitments at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $27,034 and $33,289, respectively.

Securities pledged, special deposits and securities lending - The Company pledges investment securities it owns to unaffiliated parties related to interest rate futures transactions.  The fair value of margin deposits related to futures contracts was approximately $4,955 and $1,600 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company had securities on deposit with governmental authorities as required by certain insurance laws with fair values in the amounts of $13,599 and $37,220 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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 $34,940 and $32,788 and estimated fair values in the amounts of $37,081 and $41,321 were on loan under the program at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Company received restricted cash collateral in the amounts of $38,296 and $43,205 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Impairment of fixed maturity and equity investments classified as available-for-sale -  The Company classifies the majority of its fixed maturity investments 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, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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 assessment of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on securities where management does not intend to sell the fixed maturity investment and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, 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 issuer’s operations and ability to generate future cash flows.  While all available information is taken into account, it is difficult to predict the ultimate recoverable amount from a distressed or impaired security.

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

·
Fair value is 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.
·
The fixed maturity investment has been downgraded by a credit rating agency.
·
The financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated.
·
The payment structure of the fixed maturity investment and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments that increase in the future.
·
Dividends have been reduced or eliminated or scheduled interest payments have not been made.

Fixed maturity investments - Total unrealized losses decreased by $840,160 and the total number of securities in an unrealized loss position decreased by 2,010, or 80%, from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009.  This significant decrease in unrealized losses was across most asset classes and reflects overall recovery in market liquidity and tightening of credit spreads, although the economic uncertainty in these markets still remains.

Unrealized losses on corporate fixed maturity investments decreased by $398,761 from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009.  The valuation of these securities has been significantly influenced by market conditions with increased liquidity and tightening of credit spreads.  Management has classified these securities by sector, calculated as a percentage of total unrealized losses as follows:

   
December 31,
 
Sector
 
2009
   
2008
 
Finance
    77 %     51 %
Utility
    10 %     20 %
Natural resources
    4 %     9 %
Consumer
    4 %     8 %
Transportation
    2 %     4 %
Other
    3 %     8 %
      100 %     100 %

All sectors across the corporate fixed maturity investment class had a decrease in unrealized losses.  While the proportionate percentage in the finance sector increased, the actual unrealized losses decreased by $146,978.  The finance sector has recovered more slowly than the other sectors in 2009.  At December 31, 2009, 57% of total unrealized losses on corporate debt securities (approximately $122,795 of the $216,886), were related to securities on which there has been a ratings downgrade since December 31, 2008.  Of the downgraded securities, 47% (approximately $57,135 of the $122,795) continue to be rated BBB or above.

Unrealized losses on asset-backed, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities decreased by $283,041, $51,145, and $75,127 respectively, since December 31, 2008, generally due to tightening of credit spreads and increased market liquidity.  Although markets have improved, the continued market disruption has influenced valuations at December 31, 2009.  Unless otherwise noted below in the other-than-temporary impairment recognition section, the underlying collateral on the securities within the portfolio along with credit enhancement and/or guarantees is sufficient to expect full repayment of the principal.  See Note 7 for additional discussion regarding fair value measurements.

Future recoveries in the fair value of all available-for-sale securities will be dependent upon the return of normal market liquidity and changes in general market conditions.  While the decline in fair value has decreased, there has not yet been a full recovery in the markets and many unrealized losses have existed for longer than twelve months.  The Company believes this is attributable to general market conditions and not reflective of the financial condition of the issuer or collateral backing the securities.  The Company continually monitors its credit risk exposure to identify potential losses.

Equity investments - The decrease in unrealized losses of $507 from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009 is primarily due to the financial services industry.

Other-than-temporary impairment recognition - The Company adopted ASC section 320-10-65 for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The adoption resulted in the reclassification of the non-credit portion of previously recorded other-than-temporary impairments on securities held as of April 1, 2009.  A cumulative effect adjustment of $8,528 was recorded as an increase to retained earnings with a corresponding decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of stockholder’s equity.  The following table summarizes the components of the cumulative effect adjustment:

The Company recorded other-than-temporary impairments on fixed maturity investments of $112,757, $87,886 and $34,485 during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Of the $112,757, $88,134 was credit-related other-than-temporary impairment on asset-backed securities with underlying collateral backed by home improvement loans guaranteed by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company.  During 2009, $13,422 was non-credit other-than-temporary impairment reclassified to other comprehensive income.  During 2009, all other-than-temporary impairments on fixed maturity investments were related to continuing operations.  Of the $87,886 recorded during the years ended December 31, 2008, $4,372 was related to discontinued operations and $83,514 was related to continuing operations. The Company recorded other-than-temporary impairments on equity securities of $7, $3,512 and $389 during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
The other-than-temporary impairments of fixed maturity securities where a portion was related to non-credit losses which were recognized in net realized capital gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of income, is summarized as follows:

Bifurcated credit loss balance, April 1, 2009
  $ 43,871  
Non-credit losses reclassified out of retained earnings into AOCI
    (16,680 )
Additions:
       
Initial impairments - credit loss recognized on securities not previously impaired
    88,134  
Bifurcated credit loss balance, December 31, 2009
  $ 115,325  
 
The credit loss portion on fixed maturities was determined as the difference between the securities’ amortized cost and the present value of expected future cash flows.  These expected cash flows were determined using judgment and the best information available to the Company and were discounted at the securities’ original effective interest rate.  Inputs used to derive expected cash flows included default rates, credit ratings, collateral characteristics and current levels of subordination.

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 flows 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.

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

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

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.

Other investments

Other investments include the Company’s percentage ownership of a foreclosed lease interest in aircraft.  The estimated fair value is based on the present value of anticipated lease payments plus the residual value of the aircraft.  Also included in other investments is real estate held for investment.  The estimated fair value is based on appraised value.

Derivative counterparty agreements

Included in other assets and other liabilities at December 31, 2009 is cash collateral received from counterparties and the obligation to return the cash collateral to the counterparties.

Derivative instruments

Included in other assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are derivative financial instruments in the amounts of $23,150 and $92,713, respectively.  Included in other liabilities at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are derivative financial instruments in the amounts of $3,317 and $0, respectively.  The estimated fair values of over-the-counter derivatives, primarily consisting of interest rate swaps and interest rate swaptions which are held for other than trading purposes, are the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the end of each reporting period, taking into consideration current interest rates, counterparty credit risk and other relevant factors.  Counterparty credit risk was evaluated and adjusted accordingly at both December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Reinsurance receivable

The carrying value of the reinsurance receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term nature.

Annuity contract benefits without life contingencies

The estimated fair values of annuity contract benefits without life contingencies are estimated by discounting the projected expected cash flows to the maturity of the contracts utilizing risk-free spot interest rates plus a provision for credit risk.

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 thirty days notice.

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 net asset value on a daily basis, which approximates fair value.

Fair value hierarchy

The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon the following fair value hierarchy:

·    Level 1 inputs utilize observable, quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.  Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include actively exchange-traded equity securities.

·    Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.  The fair values for some Level 2 securities were obtained from a pricing service.  The list of inputs used by the pricing service is reviewed on a quarterly basis.  The pricing service inputs include, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, offers and reference data.  Level 2 securities include those priced using a matrix which are based on credit quality and average life, U.S. government and agency securities, restricted stock, some private equities, certain fixed maturity investments and some over-the-counter derivatives.  See Note 6 for further discussions of derivatives and their impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

·    Level 3 inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.  The prices of the majority of Level 3 securities were obtained from single broker quotes and internal pricing models.  Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include certain private equity, fixed maturity and over-the-counter derivative investments.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability measurement in its entirety.  The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Non-recurring fair value measurements - At December 31, 2009, the Company held $1,900 of cost basis in other assets comprised of head office properties which were impaired during the year.  The property was recorded at estimated fair value and represents a non-recurring fair value measurement.  The estimated fair value was categorized as Level 2 since the fair value was based on an independent third party appraisal.  The Company has no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2009.

8.  Reinsurance

In the normal course of its 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, 2009 and 2008, the reinsurance receivables had carrying values in the amounts of $573,963 and $546,491, respectively.  Included in these amounts are $452,510 and $425,369 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, associated with reinsurance agreements with related parties.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, 71% and 69% of the total reinsurance receivable was due from CLAC, respectively.  There were no allowances for potential uncollectible reinsurance receivables at either December 31, 2009 or 2008.  Included within life insurance in the tables below is a small portion of Healthcare business as discussed in Note 17.

15.  Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Pension, Post-Retirement Medical and Supplemental Executive Retirement 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.

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.

Prior to the adoption of the measurement provisions of ASC topic 715 for its year ended December 31, 2008, the Company utilized a November 30 measurement date for the Defined Benefit Pension and Post-Retirement Medical plans.  Upon adoption of the measurement provision of ASC topic 715, the Company changed the measurement date to correspond to the end of its fiscal year, December 31.  The impact of adopting the measurement date provisions of ASC 715 was a decrease to stockholder’s equity of $206.  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.

Rate of compensation increase

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, an 8.00% 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.

The investment objective of the Defined Benefit Pension Plan is to provide a 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.

The Defined Benefit Pension Plan utilizes various investment securities.  Generally, investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risks, credit risk and overall market volatility.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported.

The following table presents the ranges the Company targets for the allocation of invested Defined Benefit Pension Plan assets at December 31, 2010:

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, 2010.  The Company made contributions in the amounts of $12,500 and $11,500 to its Defined Benefit Pension Plan during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Company expects to contribute approximately $768 to its Post-Retirement Medical Plan and $2,699 to its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan during the year ended December 31, 2010.  The Company will make a contribution at least equal to the minimum contribution of $3,600 to its Defined Benefit Pension Plan during the year ended December 31, 2010.

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded defined benefit pension plan costs of $672, post-retirement medical plan benefits of $19,346 and supplemental executive retirement plan costs of $1,833 as adjustments to income from discontinued operations due to plan curtailments related to the sale of the Healthcare segment.

Other employee benefit plans - The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan which provides eligible participants with the opportunity to defer up to 50% of base compensation.  The Company matches 50% of the first 5% of participant pre-tax contributions for employees hired before January 1, 1999.  For all other employees, the Company matches 50% of the first 8% of participant pre-tax contributions.  Company contributions for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $5,006, $7,384 and $9,573, respectively.

The Company has an executive deferred compensation plan providing key executives with the opportunity to participate in an unfunded deferred compensation program.  Under the program, participants may defer base compensation and bonuses and earn interest on the amounts deferred.  The program is not qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Participant balances, which are reflected in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are $15,286 and $16,752 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The participant deferrals earned interest at the average rates of 6.93% and 7.06% during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The interest rate is based on the Moody’s Average Annual Corporate Bond Index rate plus 0.45% for actively employed participants and fixed rates ranging from 6.37% to 8.30% for retired participants.  Interest expense related to this plan was $1,110, $1,224 and $1,261 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and is included in general insurance expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company has a deferred compensation plan for select sales personnel with the opportunity to participate in an unfunded deferred compensation program.  Under this program, participants may defer compensation and earn interest on the amounts deferred.  The program is not qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Effective January 1, 2005, this program no longer accepted participant deferrals.  Participant balances, which are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are $3,772 and $4,369 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The participant deferrals earned interest at the average rate of 4.4% and 4.5% during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The interest rate is based on an annual rate determined by the Company.  The interest expense related to this plan was $187, $233 and $258 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and is included in general insurance expense in the consolidated statements of income.

 
 
 

The Company offers an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan to a select group of management and highly compensated individuals.  Participants defer a portion of their compensation and realize potential market gains or losses on the invested contributions.  The program is not qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Participant balances, which are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are $12,240 and $9,238 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Unrealized gains (losses) on invested participant deferrals were $2,053, ($3,709) and $997 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

16.  Federal Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes from continuing operations is comprised of the following:

Total income tax provision from continuing operations
  $ 46,108     $ 95,838     $ 118,791  

The following table presents a reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective federal income tax rate from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007:

   
Year Ended December 31,
 
   
2009
   
2008
   
2007
 
Statutory federal income tax rate
    35.0 %     35.0 %     35.0 %
Income tax effect of:
                       
Investment income not subject to federal tax
    (4.9 %)     (1.4 %)     (1.6 %)
Tax credits
    (4.9 %)     (2.5 %)     (2.8 %)
State income taxes, net of federal benefit
    (2.8 %)     1.1 %     0.5 %
Provision for policyholders' share of earnings on participating business
    0.3 %     (13.2 %)     2.0 %
Prior period adjustment
    1.7 %     (0.3 %)     1.4 %
Income tax contingency provisions
    0.9 %     1.0 %     2.0 %
Other, net
    2.1 %     (2.0 %)     (3.4 %)
Effective federal income tax rate from continuing operations
    27.4 %     17.7 %     33.1 %

Included above in the provision for policyholder’s share of earnings on participating business is the income tax effect of the $207,785 decrease in undistributed earnings on participating business as discussed in Note 4.

The Company adopted the income tax contingency provisions contained in ASC topic 740 on January 1, 2007.  As a result of the adoption of these provisions, the Company recognized 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.  The Company recognized increases in unrecognized tax benefits of $24,843 and $6,600 during the tax years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized an increase of $21,268 in the current period unrecognized tax benefits relating to changes in the composition of the consolidated tax group.  Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, the increase in the unrecognized tax benefit does not effect the effective tax rate.  The Company anticipates additional increases in its unrecognized tax benefits of $18,000 to $20,000, in the next twelve months, due to changes in the composition of the consolidated group.  The Company does not anticipate that this increase in its unrecognized tax benefit will impact the effective tax rate.

A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Balance, January 1, 2008
  $ 61,286  
Additions for tax positions in the current year
    6,600  
Reductions for tax positions in current year
    (1,935 )
Additions for tax positions in prior years
    17,349  
Reductions for tax positions in prior years
    (23,221 )
Balance, December 31, 2008
    60,079  
Additions for tax positions in the current year
    24,843  
Reductions for tax positions in current year
    (2,670 )
Reductions for tax positions in prior years
    (862 )
Balance, December 31, 2009
  $ 81,390  

Included in the unrecognized tax benefits of $81,390 at December 31, 2009 was $5,351 of tax benefits that, if recognized, would increase the annual effective tax rate.  Also included in the balance at December 31, 2009 is $76,039 of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.  Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in current income tax expense.  The Company recognized approximately $2,430, $6,916 and $1,300 in interest and penalties related to the uncertain tax positions during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The Company had approximately $14,978 and $12,548 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years 2004 and prior.  Tax years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 are open to federal examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the “I.R.S.”).  The Company is currently under federal examination by the I.R.S. for the 2005 tax year.  The Company does not expect significant increases or decreases to unrecognized tax benefits relating to federal, state or local audits.

The Company, together with certain of its subsidiaries, and Lifeco U.S. have entered into an income tax allocation agreement whereby Lifeco U.S. 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.

 
The Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards generated by a subsidiary that files an income tax return separate from the Lifeco U.S. consolidated federal income tax return.  As of December 31, 2009, the subsidiary had net operating loss carry forwards expiring as follows:

17.  Segment Information

The Company has three reportable 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 retirement plan enrollment services, communication materials, various retirement plan investment options and educational services to employer-sponsored defined contribution/defined benefit plans and 401(k) and 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.

As discussed in Note 3, substantially all of the Company’s former Healthcare segment has been sold and reclassified as discontinued operations and, accordingly, is no longer reported as a separate business segment.  The Company retained a small portion of its Healthcare business and reports 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 reportable 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.  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.

18.  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 average market price of the shares on the five days preceding 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 with vesting commencing on the first anniversary of the grant and expiring ten years from the date of grant.  Lifeco did not grant stock options to employees of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
The following table presents information regarding the share-based compensation expense the Company recognized during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.  Share-based compensation expense of continuing operations is included in general insurance expenses in the consolidated statements of income.  Share-based compensation expense of discontinued operations is included in income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income.

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 after 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, 2009, the Company had $2,632, net of estimated forfeitures, of unrecognized share-based compensation costs, which will be recognized in its earnings through 2015.  The weighted-average period over which these costs will be recognized in earnings is 2.1 years.

20.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is one of two defendants in an action filed in the Colorado District Court for Arapahoe County, Colorado by a disease management vendor in an action relating to its healthcare business (which was sold to Connecticut General Life Insurance Company in a transaction that closed on April 1, 2008).  The plaintiff alleges that the Company breached a contract with it and engaged in tortious conduct, for which the plaintiff seeks both compensatory and punitive damages.  The Company believes it has meritorious defenses against the plaintiff’s claims and is vigorously contesting them.  The Company’s motion for partial summary judgment is pending.  The lawsuit is scheduled for trial commencing March 1, 2010.

The extent of the losses beyond any amounts that may be accrued is not readily determinable at this time.  However, based on facts and circumstances presently known, in the opinion of management, an unfavorable outcome will not materially affect the equity of the Company, although its results of discontinued operations may be adversely affected.

The Company is involved in various other 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, among other things, the Company to maintain a minimum adjusted statutory net worth of $900,000 plus 50% of its statutory net income, if positive, for each quarter ending after June 30, 2008.  The Company had no borrowings under the credit facility at either December 31, 2009 or 2008 and was in compliance with all covenants.

The Company makes commitments to fund partnership interests and other investments in the normal course of its business.  The amounts of these unfunded commitments at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $126,882 and $49,334, respectively, all of which is due within one year from the dates indicated.

21.  Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements through February 19, 2010, the date on which the Company’s consolidated financial statements were issued.  No subsequent event has occurred requiring its recognition or disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On February 8, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $66,000 to be paid during the first quarter of 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Contract Owners of
Variable Annuity -1 Series Account
and the Board of Directors 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”) comprising the investment divisions as disclosed in Appendix A as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the periods presented in Appendix A, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods presented in Appendix A, and the financial highlights included in Note 6 for each of the periods presented.  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, 2009, by correspondence with the fund house. 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  each of the investment divisions constituting the Variable Annuity -1 Series Account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company as of December 31, 2009, the results of their operations for the periods presented, the changes in their net assets for each of the periods presented, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented 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, 2009

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 OneSource 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 each of the investment divisions 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 and financial highlights of each of the investment divisions 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 financial highlights and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
Security Valuation
 
The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the Series Account’s investments.  The three levels are defined as follows:
 
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
 
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
 
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
 
During 2009, the only investments of each of the investment divisions of the Series Account were in underlying registered investment companies that are actively traded, therefore 100% of the investments are valued using Level 1 inputs.
 
 
Security Transactions
Investments made in the investment divisions 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 securities of 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.
 
Certain 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.
 
Certain 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 of each investment division 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 respective Statement of Changes in Net Assets of which there were none for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  These excess amounts are represented as either a Due to or Due from Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company on the respective Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
Federal Income Taxes
 
  The operations of each of the investment divisions 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 each of the investment divisions 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 the federal income taxes 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.

 
Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (SFAS No. 168).  SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (the ASC) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) applied by nongovernmental entities.  All previously issued GAAP authoritative pronouncements are superseded and replaced by the ASC and are considered non-authoritative. The ASC also established that rules and interpretative releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants.  SFAS No. 168 and the ASC are effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Series Account adopted SFAS No. 168 and the ASC for the annual period ended December 31, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for an Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That are Not Orderly (FSP No. FAS 157-4).  Effective July 1, 2009, FSP No. FAS 157-4 was superseded and replaced by certain provisions of ASC topic 820.  These provisions of ASC topic 820 relate to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales.  These provisions of ASC topic 820 reaffirm the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive.  These provisions of ASC topic 820 apply to all assets and liabilities within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  The provisions of ASC topic 820 that relate to the determination of fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly, is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  Each investment division of the Series Account adopted these provisions of ASC topic 820 relating to these considerations for the annual period ended December 31, 2009.  The adoption had no impact on the financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165).  Effective July 1, 2009, SFAS No.165 was superseded and replaced by certain provisions of ASC topic 855, Subsequent Events (ASC topic 855).  These provisions of ASC topic 855 require companies to establish principles and requirements for subsequent events.  Specifically, these provisions of ASC topic 855 require the disclosure of the period after the financial statements date through which management has evaluated events and transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in a company’s financial statements.  In addition, these provisions of ASC topic 855 provide the circumstances under which the disclosures are required of an entity regarding events and circumstances that have occurred after the date of the financial statements but before the date of issuance.  These provisions of ASC topic 855 are effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.  Each investment division of the Series Account adopted these provisions of ASC topic 855 for the annual period ended December 31, 2009.

EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Contract Maintenance Charges
 
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. This charge is recorded as Contract Maintenance Charges on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
 
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. This charge is recorded as a redemption on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
 
Deductions for Premium Taxes

 
The Company deducts from each contribution in both the Schwab Select Annuity and Schwab OneSource Annuity any applicable state Premium Tax or retaliatory tax, which currently range from 0% to 3.5%.  This charge is netted with purchase payments on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
 
Deductions for Assumption of Mortality and Expense Risks
 
The Company deducts an amount, computed and accrued daily, from the unit value of each investment division of the Schwab Select Annuity investments, equal to an annual rate of 0.85%, and an amount, computed and accrued daily, from the unit value of each investment division of the Schwab OneSource 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.  The accrued amount is represented as Due to Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Management has reviewed all events subsequent to the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing these financial statements, through the issuance date of the financial statements.

6.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
 
 
The financial highlights for the Series Account are presented by contract by investment division.  For each investment division available to Schwab Select Annuity contracts, a summary of accumulation units outstanding for variable annuity contracts, the 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, 2009 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.  For each investment division available to Schwab OneSource Annuity contracts, 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, 2009 is included on the following pages.  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 respective investment divisions 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 OneSource Annuity for each of the periods in the five years ended December 31, 2009 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.
 
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 during the year.  The ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values.  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.
