Until March 1, 2003, you were permitted to allocate some or all of the money you contribute to the Guarantee Period Fund. The Guarantee Period Fund allows you to select one or more Guarantee Periods that offer specific interest rates for a specific period. Effective March 1, 2003, you may no longer make Contributions or Transfers (including Automatic Custom Transfers) to the Guarantee Period Fund.

If you currently have amounts allocated to the Guarantee Period Fund, it may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment which may increase or decrease the amount Transferred or withdrawn from the value of a Guarantee Period if the Guarantee Period is broken prior to the Guarantee Period Maturity Date. A negative adjustment may result in an effective interest rate lower than the Contractual Guarantee of a Minimum Rate of Interest and the value of the Contribution(s) allocated to a Guarantee Period being less than the Contribution(s) made.

Sales and Surrender Charges

There are no sales, redemption, surrender or withdrawal charges under the Schwab Select Annuity.

Free Look Period

After you receive your Contract, you can look it over free of obligation for at least 10 days (up to 35 days for replacement policies), during which you may cancel your Contract.

Payout Options

The Schwab Select Annuity offers a variety of annuity payout and periodic withdrawal options. Depending on the option you select, income can be guaranteed for your lifetime, your spouse's and/or Beneficiaries' lifetime or for a specified period of time.

The Contracts are not deposits of, or guaranteed or endorsed by any bank, nor are the Contracts federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. The Contracts involve certain investment risks, including possible loss of principal. See "Breaking Guarantee Period" and "Market Value Adjustment" on page 18.

Proportional Withdrawals A partial withdrawal made by you which reduces your Annuity Account Value measured as a percentage of each prior withdrawal against the current Annuity Account Value. A Proportional Withdrawal is determined by calculating the percentage the withdrawal represents of your Annuity Account Value at the time the withdrawal is made. For example, a partial withdrawal of 75% of the Annuity Account Value represents a Proportional Withdrawal of 75% of the total Contributions for purposes of calculating the Death Benefit for Contracts issued on or after April 30, 2004.

*The expenses shown do not reflect any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements. The advisers and/or other service providers of certain Portfolios have agreed to reduce their fees and/or reimburse the Portfolios' expenses in order to keep the Portfolios' expenses below specified limits. The expenses of certain Portfolios are reduced by contractual fee reduction and expense reimbursement arrangements that will remain in effect at least through May 1, 2007. Other Portfolios have voluntary fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangements that may be terminated at any time. The minimum and maximum Total Annual Operating Expenses for all Portfolios after all fee reductions and expense reimbursements are 0.26% and 1.24%, respectively. Each fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement arrangement is described in the relevant Portfolio's prospectus.

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

 

 

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 Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, Series Account annual expenses, and Portfolio fees and expenses.

 

This 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 Portfolios. If these arrangements were taken into consideration, the expenses shown would be lower.

 

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs if you retain your Contract, annuitize your Contract or if you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period would be:

 

 

1 year

3 years

5 years

10 years

 

$250

$807

$1449

$3488

 

The example does not show the effect of Premium Taxes. Premium Taxes, if any, are deducted from Annuity Account Value upon full surrender, death or annuitization. The example also does not include any of the taxes or penalties you may be required to pay if you surrender your Contract.

 

The Variable Annuity Fee Tables 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" on page of 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 for each calendar year since inception. The Accumulation Unit values do not reflect the deduction of certain charges that are subtracted from your Annuity Account Value, such as the contract maintenance 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 contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Summary

The Schwab Select Annuity allows you to accumulate assets on a tax-deferred basis by investing in a variety of variable investment options and, until March 1, 2003, a fixed investment option (the Guarantee Period Fund). The performance of your Annuity Account 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 Variable Account Value could be less than the total amount of your Contributions.

Further, if you have previously directed Contribution(s) or Transfers to the Guarantee Period Fund, they may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment which may increase or decrease the amount Transferred or withdrawn from the value of a Guarantee Period if the Guarantee Period is broken prior to the Guarantee Period Maturity Date. A negative adjustment may result in an effective interest rate lower than the Contractual Guarantee of a Minimum Rate of Interest, and the value of the Contribution(s) allocated to a Guarantee Period being less than the Contribution(s) made.

Your initial Contribution must be at least $5,000 or $1,000 if you are setting up an Automatic Contribution Plan. Subsequent Contributions must be either $500, or $100 if made through an Automatic Contribution Plan.

The money you contribute to the Contract will be invested at your direction, except during your "free look period." The duration of your free look period depends on your state law and is generally ten days after you receive your Contract. During this period, amounts specified for allocation to the various Sub-Accounts will be allocated to the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account. Free look allocations are described in more detail on page of 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 may be subject to federal income tax as well as a federal penalty tax.

When you're ready to start taking money out of your Contract, you can select from the variable annuity payouts or the periodic withdrawal, and for a Contract issued prior to January 1, 2006 with Fixed Account Value, you can select fixed annuity 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 .

For accounts under $50,000, we deduct a $25 annual contract maintenance charge from the Annuity Account Value on each Contract anniversary date. There is no annual contract maintenance charge for accounts of $50,000 or more as of the applicable Contract anniversary date. We also deduct a mortality and expense risk charge from your Sub-Accounts at the end of each daily valuation period equal to an effective annual rate of 0.85% of the value of the net assets in your Sub-Accounts. Each Portfolio assesses a charge for management fees and other expenses.

You may cancel your Contract during the free look period by sending it to the Annuity Administration Department at First GWL&A. If you are replacing an existing insurance contract with the Contract, the free look period may be extended based on your state of residence. Free look allocations are described in more detail on page of this Prospectus.

 

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

 

First Great-West Life & Annuity

Insurance Company

First GWL&A (formerly known as Canada Life Insurance Company of New York ("CLNY")) is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on June 7, 1971. First GWL&A operates in two business segments: (1) employee benefits (life, health, and 401(k) products for group clients); and (2) financial services (savings products for both public and non-profit employers and individuals, and life insurance products for individuals and businesses). We are licensed to do business in New York. First GWL&A's Home Office is located at 50 Main Street, 9th Floor, White Plains, New York 10606.

First GWL&A is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company ("GWL&A"), a life insurance company domiciled in Colorado. GWL&A is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A Financial Inc. ("GWL&A Financial"), a Delaware holding company. GWL&A Financial is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco, Inc. ("Lifeco"), a Canadian holding company. Lifeco is a subsidiary of Power Financial Corporation ("Power Financial"), a Canadian holding company with substantial interests in the financial services industry. Power Financial Corporation is a subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada ("Power Corporation"), 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.

Effective December 31, 2005, First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company, a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on April 9, 1996, was merged with and into CLNY. Upon the merger, CLNY became the surviving entity under New York corporate law and was renamed to First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company. As the surviving corporation in the merger, CLNY assumed legal ownership of all of the assets of the First Great-West Life & Annuity

Insurance Company, including the Series Account, and it became directly liable for the First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company's liabilities and obligations, including those with respect to the Contract supported by the Series Account.

 

The Series Account

The Series Account is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act, 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.

The Variable Annuity-1 Series Account was established in accordance with New York laws on January 15, 1997. Upon the merger, the Series Account was transferred intact, and will continue to maintain its separate account status as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act and as a separate account under applicable state insurance law.

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 participating in the Series Account. Those assets may not be charged with our liabilities from our other business. Our obligations under those Contracts 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 64 Sub-Accounts, 50 of which are currently available under the Contract. Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a corresponding investment Portfolio of a registered investment company (commonly known as a mutual fund). We may in the future add new, or delete existing, Sub-Accounts. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to each Sub-Account are credited to, or charged against, that Sub-Account without regard to the other income, gains or losses of the other Sub-Accounts. All amounts allocated to a Sub-Account will be fully invested in Portfolio shares.

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

The Portfolios

The Contract offers a number of Portfolios, corresponding to the Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests in a single Portfolio. Each Portfolio is a separate mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. More comprehensive information, including a discussion of potential risks, is found in the current prospectuses for the Portfolios (the "Portfolio Prospectuses"). The Portfolio Prospectuses should be read in connection with this Prospectus. You may obtain a copy of the Portfolio Prospectuses without charge by Request.

Each Portfolio:

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

has its own distinct investment objective and policy, 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:

Many of these products and services are subject to rapid obsolescence, which may lower the market value of the securities of the companies in this sector. While the Portfolio's investments are diversified across the technology sector, the Portfolio's investments are not as diversified as most mutual funds, and far less diversified than the broad securities markets because the Portfolio is limited to a comparatively narrow segment of the economy.

Third Avenue Variable Series Trustadvised by Third Avenue Management LLC of New York, New York.

Third Avenue Value Portfolio –Variable Series Trust Shares - seeks long-term capital appreciation mainly by acquiring common stocks of well-financed companies (meaning companies without significant liabilities in comparison to their overall resources) at a discount to what the adviser believes is their intrinsic value. The Portfolio also seeks to acquire senior securities, such as preferred stocks, and debt instruments (including high-yield securities) that the adviser believes are undervalued. Acquisitions of these senior securities and debt instruments will generally be limited to those providing: (1) protection against the issuer taking certain actions which could reduce the value of the security; and (2) above-average current yields, yields to events (e.g., acquisitions and recapitalizations), or yields to maturity. The Portfolio invests in companies regardless of market capitalization, although it frequently finds value in companies with a smaller capitalization. It also invests in both domestic and foreign securities. The mix of the Portfolio’s investments at any time will depend on the industries and types of securities the adviser believes hold the most value within the Portfolio’s investment strategy.

Meeting Investment Objectives

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

 

Where to Find More Information About the Portfolios

Additional information about the investment objectives and policies of all the Portfolios and the investment advisory and administrative services and charges can be found in the current Portfolio Prospectuses, which can be obtained without charge from the Schwab Insurance Center. You may also visit www.Schwab.com/annuities .

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

 

Addition, Deletion or Substitution

First GWL&A 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.

First GWL&A and GWFS Equities, Inc. ("GWFS") 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. If a Sub-Account is eliminated, we will notify you and request that you reallocate the amounts invested in the eliminated Sub-Account.

The Guarantee Period Fund

The Guarantee Period Fund is not part of the Series Account. Amounts allocated to the Guarantee Period Fund are deposited to, and accounted for, in a non-unitized market value separate account. As a result, you do not participate in the performance of the assets through unit values. As of March 1, 2003, Contract Owners may no longer allocate Contributions, or make Transfers, to the Guarantee Period Fund.

Consequently, these assets accrue solely to the benefit of First GWL&A and any gain or loss in the non-unitized market value separate account is borne entirely by First GWL&A. You will receive the Contract guarantees made by First GWL&A for amounts you contribute to the Guarantee Period Fund.

Each Guarantee Period has its own stated rate of interest and maturity date determined by the date the Guarantee Period was established and the term you choose.

The value of amounts in each Guarantee Period equals Contributions plus interest earned, less any Premium Tax, amounts distributed, withdrawn (in whole or in part), amounts Transferred or applied to an annuity option, periodic withdrawals and charges deducted under the Contract. If a Guarantee Period is broken, a Market Value Adjustment may be assessed (please see "Breaking a Guarantee Period" on page ). Any amount withdrawn or Transferred prior to the Guarantee Period Maturity Date will be paid in accordance with the Market Value Adjustment formula. You can read more about Market Value Adjustments on page .

Investments of the Guarantee Period Fund

We use various techniques to invest in assets that have similar characteristics to our general account assets—especially cash flow patterns. We will primarily invest in investment-grade fixed income securities including:

Securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, which may or may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Government,

Debt securities which have an investment grade, at the time of purchase, within the four highest grades assigned by Moody's Investment Services, Inc. (Aaa, Aa, A or Baa), Standard & Poor's Corporation (AAA, AA, A or BBB) or any other nationally recognized rating service,

Other debt instruments, including, but not limited to, issues of banks or bank holding companies and of corporations, which obligations—although not rated by Moody's, Standard & Poor's, or other nationally recognized rating firms—are deemed by us to have an investment quality comparable to securities which may be purchased as stated above, and/or

Commercial paper, cash or cash equivalents and other short-term investments having a maturity of less than one year which are considered by us to have investment quality comparable to securities which may be purchased as stated above.

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

The above information generally describes the investment strategy for the Guarantee Period Fund. However, we are not obligated to invest the assets in the Guarantee Period Fund according to any particular strategy, except as may be required by New York and other state insurance laws. The stated rate of interest that we establish will not necessarily relate to the performance of the non-unitized market value separate account.

Subsequent Guarantee Periods

Contract Owners with amounts invested in the Guarantee Period Fund will remain in the Fund until they choose to Transfer out, or the Guarantee Period Fund reaches maturity. At that time, the Fixed Account Value in the Guarantee Period Fund will be transferred into the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account.

Breaking a Guarantee Period

In general, if you begin annuity payouts, Transfer or withdraw prior to the Guarantee Period Maturity Date, you are breaking a Guarantee Period. When we receive a Request to break a Guarantee Period and you have another Guarantee Period that is closer to its maturity date, we will break that Guarantee Period first.

If you break a Guarantee Period, you may be assessed an interest rate adjustment called a Market Value Adjustment.

Interest Rates

The declared annual rates of interest are guaranteed throughout the Guarantee Period. The stated rate of interest must be at least equal to the Contractual Guarantee of a Minimum Rate of Interest, but First GWL&A may declare higher rates.

We guarantee an effective yearly interest rate that complies with the non-forfeiture law that is in effect on the issue date for the state of New York. As explained above, a negative Market Value Adjustment may result in an effective interest rate lower than

the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to this Contract and the value of the Contribution(s) allocated to the Guarantee Period being less than the Contribution(s) made.

The determination of the stated interest rate is influenced by, but does not necessarily correspond to, interest rates available on fixed income investments which First GWL&A may acquire using funds deposited into the Guarantee Period Fund. In addition, First GWL&A considers regulatory and tax requirements, sales and administrative expenses, general economic trends and competitive factors in determining the stated interest rate.

Market Value Adjustment

Amounts you have allocated to the Guarantee Period Fund may be subject to an interest rate adjustment called a Market Value Adjustment if, six months or more before a Guarantee Period Fund's Maturity Date, you:

surrender your investment in the Guarantee Period Fund,

Transfer money from the Guarantee Period Fund,

partially withdraw money from the Guarantee Period Fund,

apply amounts from the Fund to purchase an annuity to receive payouts from your account, or

take a periodic withdrawal.

 

The Market Value Adjustment will not apply to any Guarantee Period having fewer than six months prior to the Guarantee Period Maturity Date in each of the following situations:

Transfer to a Sub-Account offered under this Contract,

surrenders, partial withdrawals, annuitization or periodic withdrawals, or

a single sum payout upon death of the Owner or Annuitant.

A Market Value Adjustment may increase or decrease the amount payable on the above-described distributions. The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is detailed in Appendix B. Appendix B also includes examples of how Market Value Adjustments work.

Application and Initial Contributions

The first step to purchasing the Schwab Select Annuity is to complete your Contract application and submit it with your initial minimum Contribution of $5,000 or $1,000 if you are setting up an Automatic Contribution Plan. Initial Contributions can be made by check (payable to First GWL&A) or transferred from a Schwab brokerage account.

If your application is complete, your Contract will be issued and your Contribution will be credited within two business days after receipt at the Annuity Administration Department at First GWL&A. 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, the Annuity Administration Department will complete the application from information Schwab has on file or contact you by telephone to obtain the required information. If the information necessary to complete your application is not received within five business days at the Annuity Administration Department, 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.

Free Look Period

During the free look period (ten days or longer where required by state law), you may cancel your Contract. During the free look period, all Contributions will first be allocated to the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account until the end of the free look period. After the free look period is over, the Variable Account Value held in the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts you selected on your application. As of March 1, 2003, you may no longer make new Contributions to the Guarantee Period Fund.

 

During the free look period, you may change the Sub-Accounts in which you'd like to invest as well as your allocation percentages. Any changes you make during the free look period will take effect after the free look period has expired.

Contracts returned during the free look period will be void from the date we issued the Contract and the greater of the following will be refunded:

Contributions less withdrawals and distributions, or

Annuity Account Value.

If you exercise the free look privilege, you must return the Contract to the Annuity Administration Department at First GWL&A.

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 Contribution Plan. Total Contributions may exceed $1,000,000 with our prior approval. Additional Contributions will be priced and credited on the date received by the Annuity Administration Department at First

GWL&A if received before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any day the NYSE is open for business. Additional Contributions received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be priced and credited on the next business day the NYSE is open for business.

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

You'll receive a confirmation of each Contribution you make upon its acceptance.

First GWL&A reserves the right to modify the limitations set forth in this section.

Annuity Account Value

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, your Annuity Account Value is the sum of your Variable and Fixed Account Values established under your Contract. Before your Annuity Commencement Date, the Variable Account Value 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 Annuity 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,

minus any applicable reductions for the Contract Maintenance Charge deducted on the Contract anniversary date,

minus any applicable Transfer fees, 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 NYSE 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 NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each valuation date and ends at the close of the NYSE on the next succeeding valuation date.

The Variable 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 Variable Account Values 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 C.

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

 

Transfers

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date you may Transfer all or part of your Annuity Account Value among and between the Sub-Accounts, and from the Guarantee Periods, by Request to the Annuity Administration Department at First GWL&A. Incoming Transfers to closed Sub-Accounts are not permitted.

Your Request must specify:

the amounts being Transferred,

the Sub-Account(s) and/or Guarantee Period(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 and from the Guarantee Period Fund during any calendar year, but as of March 1, 2003, Contract Owners may no longer make Transfers to the Guarantee Period Fund. We reserve the right to limit the number of Transfers you make. See, "Market Timing and Excessive Trading" below regarding possible Portfolio restrictions on Transfers.

There is no charge for the first 12 Transfers each calendar year, but there will be a charge of $10 for each additional Transfer made. The charge will be deducted from the amount Transferred. All Transfers made on a single Transaction Date will count as only one Transfer toward the 12 free Transfers. However, if a one-time rebalancing Transfer also occurs on the Transaction Date (a rebalancing Transfer that is not quarterly, semi-annual or annual), it will be counted as a separate and additional Transfer. See "Rebalancer" on page for more details.

A Transfer generally will be priced and credited on the date the Request for Transfer is received by the Annuity Administration Department at First GWL&A if received before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any day we and the NYSE are open for business. Transfer Requests received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be effective on the next business day we and the NYSE are open for business. Under current tax law, there will not be any tax liability to you if you make a Transfer.

We will use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, fax and 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.

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 Variable Account Value as of the end of the valuation date on which the Transfer is effective.

Transfers among the Sub-Accounts may also be subject to certain terms and conditions imposed by the Portfolios that could result in a Transfer Request being rejected or the pricing for that Transfer delayed. Please review the respective Portfolio Prospectus for details on any Portfolio level restrictions.

When you make a Transfer from amounts in a Guarantee Period before the Guarantee Period Maturity Date, the amount Transferred may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment as discussed on page . If you Request in advance to Transfer amounts from a maturing Guarantee Period upon maturity, your Transfer will not count toward the 12 free Transfers and no Transfer fees will be charged.

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 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 discourage market timing and excessive trading by Owners. As part of those procedures, we will rely on the Portfolios to monitor for such activity. If such activity is identified by a Portfolio, we will request a determination from the Portfolio as to whether such activity constitutes improper trading. If the Portfolio determines that the activity constitutes improper trading, Charles Schwab & Co. or the Company will contact the Owner via telephone and/or in writing to request that the Owner stop market timing and/or excessive trading immediately. We will then provide a subsequent report of the Owner's trading activity to the Portfolio. If the Portfolio determines that the Owner has not ceased improper trading, we will contact the Owner by telephone and/or in writing to inform the Owner that all Transfer Requests must be submitted to Great-West via a paper form that is mailed through U.S. mail ("U.S. Mail Restriction"); the Owner will not be permitted to make Transfer Requests via overnight mail, fax, the Internet, voice response unit, or the call center. Once the U.S. Mail Restriction has been in place for one hundred eighty (180) days, the restricted Owner may request that we lift the U.S. Mail Restriction by signing, dating and returning a form to us whereby the individual acknowledges the potentially harmful effects of improper trading on Portfolios and other investors, represents that no further improper trading will occur, and acknowledges that we may implement further restrictions, if necessary, to stop improper trading by the individual.

Please note that our market timing procedures are such that we do not impose trading restrictions unless or until the applicable underlying Portfolio first detects and notifies us of potential market timing or excessive trading activity. Accordingly, we cannot prevent all market timing or excessive trading transfer activity before it occurs, as it may not be possible to identify it unless and until a trading pattern is established. To the extent the Portfolios do not detect and notify us of market timing and/or excessive trading or the trading restrictions we impose fail to curtail it, it is possible that a market timer may be able to make market timing and/or excessive 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. In addition, we do not enter into agreements with Owners whereby we permit market timing or excessive 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 such policies and procedures. 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 market timing and excessive trading. For example, a Portfolio may impose a redemption fee. 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 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 of that Portfolio. Under rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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 market timing or excessive 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 participants 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 underlying Portfolios may not be able to detect potential market timing and/or excessive trading activities in the omnibus orders they receive. We cannot guarantee that the Portfolios will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans and/or other insurance companies that invest in the Portfolios. If the policies and procedures of other insurance companies or retirement plans fail to successfully discourage frequent transfer activity, it may affect the value of your investments in the Portfolios. In addition, if a Portfolio believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more Transfer Requests from 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 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 9th, your first Transfer will be made on April 9th 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.

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 $1,500. 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.

 

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 annuity. Dollar cost averaging Transfers are not included in the twelve free Transfers allowed in a calendar year.

Dollar cost averaging Transfers must meet the following conditions:

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

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 percent 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.

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

First GWL&A 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 Variable 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.

How rebalancer works:

Suppose you purchased your annuity by allocating 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 Variable 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.

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. One-time rebalancer Transfers count toward the twelve free Transfers allowed in a calendar year.

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 9th, your first

Transfer will be made on April 9th 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. Quarterly, semi-annual and annual Transfers will not count toward the 12 free Transfers.

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.

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

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 Annuity Commencement Date by submitting a written withdrawal Request to the Annuity Administration Department at First GWL&A. Withdrawals are not permitted by telephone, fax or Internet.

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, with any applicable Market Value Adjustment on the effective date of the withdrawal, less any applicable Premium Tax. No withdrawals may be made after the Annuity Commencement Date.

If you Request a partial withdrawal, your Annuity Account Value will be reduced by the dollar amount withdrawn. A Market Value Adjustment may apply. Market Value Adjustments are discussed on page .

Partial withdrawals are unlimited. However, you must specify the Sub-Account(s) or Guarantee Period(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 (before application of the MVA) is $500.

The following terms apply to withdrawals:

Partial withdrawals or surrenders are not permitted after the Annuity Commencement Date, and

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

 

A partial withdrawal or a surrender from amounts in a Guarantee Period may be subject to the Market Value Adjustment provisions, and the Guarantee Period Fund provisions of the Contract. Withdrawal Requests must be in writing with your original signature. If your instructions are not clear, your Request will be denied and no surrender or partial withdrawal will be processed.

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

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

Partial 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 Value 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 IRS. If you Request partial withdrawals, including partial withdrawals to pay Consultant fees, your Annuity Account Value will be reduced by the sum of the withdrawals paid 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 is 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 .

Telephone and Internet Transactions

You may also make Transfer Requests by telephone, fax and/or Internet. Transfer Requests received before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any day we and the NYSE are open will be priced and credited on that day at that day's unit value. Those received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be priced and credited on the next business day we and the NYSE are open for business, at that day's unit value.

We will use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, fax and 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. Withdrawals are not permitted by telephone, fax or Internet.

Death Benefit

Before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Death Benefit, if any, for Contracts issued on or after April 30, 2004 will be equal to the greater of:

the Annuity Account Value with an MVA, if applicable, as of the date the Request for payout is received, less any Premium Tax, or

the sum of Contributions, less Proportional Withdrawals, less any Premium Tax.

 

The Death Benefit, if any, for Contracts issued prior to April 30, 2004, will be equal to the greater of:

the Annuity Account Value with an MVA, if applicable, as of the date a Request for payout is received, less any Premium Tax, or

the sum of Contributions, less partial withdrawals and/or periodic withdrawals, less any Premium Tax.

Proportional Withdrawals (effective for Contracts issued on or after April 30, 2004) are withdrawals, if any, made by you, whether partial or periodic, which reduces your Annuity Account Value as measured as a percentage of each prior withdrawal against the current Annuity Account Value. Proportional Withdrawals are determined by calculating the percentage of your Annuity Account Value that each prior withdrawal represented when the withdrawal was made. For example, a partial withdrawal of 75% of the Annuity Account Value will be considered a 75% reduction in the total Contributions.

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

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

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

In a declining market, where a 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.

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

The amount of the Death Benefit will be determined as of the date payouts begin. However, on the date a payout option is processed, the Variable 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:

Variable Account Value

payout in a single sum, or

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

Fixed Account Value

payout in a single sum that may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment, or

payout under any of the annuity options provided under this Contract that may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.

Any payment within 6 months of the Guarantee Period Maturity Date will not be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. 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.

A change of Beneficiary will take effect as of the date the Request is processed by the Annuity Administration Department at First GWL&A, 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 designated irrevocably may not be changed without the written consent of that Beneficiary, 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. 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 as though the Beneficiary had died before the deceased Owner or Annuitant. If no 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 a single sum or under any of the variable options available under the Contract, and for a Contract issued prior to January 1, 2006 with Fixed Account Value, under any of the fixed 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 First GWL&A 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

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.

Contingent Annuitant

While the Annuitant is living, and at least 30 days prior to the Annuity Commencement Date 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 at the Annuity Administration Department at First GWL&A, unless a certain date is specified by the Owner(s). Please note, you are not required to designate a Contingent Annuitant.

 

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

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

If the deceased Annuitant is an Owner, or 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.

Death of Owner Who Is Not the Annuitant

If there is a Joint Owner who is the surviving spouse and the Beneficiary of the deceased Owner, the Joint Owner becomes the Owner and Beneficiary and the Death Benefit will be paid to the Joint Owner unless the Joint Owner elects to continue the Contract in force.

If the Owner dies after the Annuity Commencement Date 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) 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 and the Beneficiary 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), Annuitant 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) are invested in the Contract.

As more fully described below, charges under the Contract are assessed only as deductions from your Variable Account Value for:

Premium Tax, if applicable,

Certain Transfers,

a Contract Maintenance Charge, and

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

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge from your Variable Account Value at the end of each valuation period to compensate us for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the Contract. This is a daily charge equal to an effective annual rate of 0.85%. We guarantee that this charge will never increase beyond 0.85%.

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 the 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.

We bear substantial risk in connection with the Death Benefit before the Annuity Commencement Date.

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.

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.

Contract Maintenance Charge

We currently deduct a $25 annual contract maintenance charge from the Annuity Account Value on each Contract anniversary date for accounts under $50,000 as of such anniversary date. This charge partially covers our costs for administering the Contracts and the Series Account. Once you have started receiving payouts from the annuity, this charge will stop unless you choose the periodic withdrawal option.

The contract maintenance charge is deducted from the portion of your Annuity Account Value allocated to the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account. If the portion of your Annuity Account Value in this Sub-Account is not sufficient to cover the contract maintenance charge, then the charge or any portion of it will be deducted on a pro rata basis from all your Sub-Accounts with current value. If the entire Annuity Account is held in the Guarantee Period Fund or there are not enough funds in any Sub-Account to pay the entire charge, then the contract maintenance charge will be deducted on a pro rata basis from amounts held in all Guarantee Periods. There is no MVA on amounts deducted from a Guarantee Period for the contract maintenance charge.

The contract maintenance charge is currently waived for Contracts with an Annuity Account Value of at least $50,000 on the applicable Contract anniversary date. If your Annuity Account Value falls below $50,000, the contract maintenance charge will be reinstated until an anniversary date on which such time as your Annuity Account Value is equal to or greater than $50,000. We do not expect a profit from amounts received from the contract maintenance charge.

Transfer Fees

There will be a $10 charge for each Transfer in excess of 12 Transfers in any calendar year. We do not expect a profit from the Transfer fee.

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 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 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. Currently, the Premium Tax rate in New York for annuities is 0%. 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 New York. 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 through periodic withdrawals, variable annuity payouts or in a single sum payment, and for a Contract issued prior to January 1, 2006, with Fixed Account Value, you can choose to receive payouts under fixed annuity options available under the Contract. The Payout Commencement Date must be for a Contract issued prior to January 1, 2006, at least one year and for a Contract issued on or after January 3, 2006, 13 months, after the Effective Date of the Contract. If you do not select a Payout Commencement Date, payouts will begin for a Contract issued prior to January 1, 2006, on the first day of the month of the Annuitant's 90th birthday and for a Contract issued on or after January 3, 2006, on the Annuitant's 90th birthday.

You may change the Payout Commencement Date within 30 days prior to commencement of payouts or your Beneficiary may change it upon the death of the Owner.

If this is an IRA, payouts which satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Code must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you become age 70½.

Periodic Withdrawals

You may Request that all or part of the Annuity Account Value be applied to a periodic withdrawal option. The amount applied to a periodic withdrawal is the Annuity Account Value with any applicable MVA, less Premium Tax, if any.

In requesting periodic withdrawals, you must elect:

The withdrawal frequency of 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 Guarantee Period Fund, if applicable, and the Sub-Accounts in proportion to their assets. Or, they can be made specifically from the Guarantee Period Fund and specific Sub-Account(s) until they are depleted. Then, we will automatically prorate the remaining withdrawals against any remaining Guarantee Period Fund and 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,

A Market Value Adjustment, if applicable, will be assessed for periodic withdrawals from Guarantee Periods made six or more months prior to their Guarantee Period Maturity Date,

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

Charges and fees under the Contract continue to apply,

Maturing Guarantee Periods renew into the Schwab Money Market Sub-Account.

 

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 option, or

The Owner or the Annuitant dies.

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.

Interest only—Your withdrawals will be based on the amount of interest credited to the Guarantee Period Fund between withdrawals. Available only if 100% of your Account Value is invested in the Guarantee Period Fund.

Minimum distribution—If you are using this Contract as an IRA, you may request minimum distributions as specified under Code Section 401(a)(9).

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

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. IRAs are subject to complex rules with respect to restrictions on and taxation of distributions, including penalty taxes.

In accordance with the provisions outlined in this section, you may request a periodic withdrawal to remit fees paid to your Consultant. There may be income tax consequences to any periodic withdrawal made for this purpose. Please see "Withdrawals" and "Federal Tax Matters" on page .

 

Annuity Payouts

You can choose the Annuity Commencement Date either when you purchase the Contract or at a later date. The date you choose must be for a Contract issued prior to January 1, 2006, at least one year and for a Contract issued on or after January 3, 2006, 13 months, after the Effective Date of the Contract. If you do not select an Annuity Commencement Date, payouts will begin for a Contract issued prior to January 1, 2006, on the first day of the month of the Annuitant's 90th birthday and for a Contract issued on or after January 3, 2006, on the Annuitant's 90th birthday. You can change your selection at any time up to 30 days before the Annuity Commencement Date you selected.

If you have not elected a payout option within 30 days of the Annuity Commencement Date, the portion of your Annuity Account Value held in your Fixed Account will be paid out as a fixed life annuity with a guarantee period of 20 years. The Annuity Account Value held in the Sub-Account(s) will be paid out as a variable life annuity with a guarantee period of 20 years.

 

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 monthly 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.

Variable life annuity—This option provides for monthly payouts during the lifetime of the Annuitant. The annuity terminates with the last payout due prior to the death of the Annuitant. Since no minimum number of payouts is guaranteed, this option may offer the maximum level of monthly payouts. It is possible that only one payout may be made if the Annuitant died before the date on which the second payout is due.

The amount to be paid out is the Annuity Account Value 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 with a Market Value Adjustment, if applicable. If after the Market Value Adjustment, 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.

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.

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 fifth 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 set by Contract and applied reflects an assumed investment return ("AIR") of 5%.

For annuity options involving life income, the actual age and the year in which annuitization commences and/or 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. Since 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 or gender of the Annuitant has been misstated, the payouts established will be made on the basis of the correct age or gender. 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 Contractual Guarantee of a Minimum Rate of Interest.

Variable Annuity Units

The number of Annuity Units paid for each Sub-Account is determined by dividing the amount of the first monthly payout by its Annuity Unit value on the fifth 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 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 payments will increase in amount over time if the Sub-Account(s) you select earn more than the 5% AIR. Likewise, your payments will decrease in amount over time if the Sub-Account(s) 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 fifth 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, no Transfers may be made from a fixed annuity payout option to a variable annuity payout option. However, for variable annuity payout options, 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.

For a Contract with Fixed Account Value you can choose to receive fixed annuity payouts from your Contract. You may select from the following payout options:

 

Income of specified amount—The amount applied under this option may be paid in equal annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly installments in the dollar amount elected for not more than 240 months,

 

Income for a specified period—Payouts are paid annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly, as elected, for a selected number of years not to exceed 240 months,

 

Fixed life annuity with guaranteed period—This option provides monthly 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,

 

Fixed life annuity—This option provides for monthly payouts during the lifetime of the Annuitant. The annuity ends with the last payout due prior to the death of the Annuitant. Since no minimum number of payouts is guaranteed, this option may offer the maximum level of monthly payouts. It is possible that only one payout may be made if the Annuitant died before the date on which the second payout is due, or

 

Any other form of a fixed annuity acceptable to us.

 

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 (an election not to have taxes

withheld is not permitted for certain distributions from qualified contracts). State income tax withholding may also apply. Please see "Federal Tax Matters" on page for details.

Annuity IRAs

The annuity date and options available for IRAs may be controlled by endorsements, the plan documents, or applicable law.

Under the Code, a Contract purchased and used in connection with an IRA or with certain other plans qualifying for special federal income tax treatment is subject to complex "minimum distribution" requirements. Under a minimum distribution plan, distributions must begin by a specific date and the entire interest of the plan participant must be distributed within a certain specified period of time. The application of the minimum distribution requirements vary according to your age and other circumstances.

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 adviser should be consulted for further information.

Federal Tax Matters

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

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

Only prior to January 1, 2006, could the Contract be purchased on a non-tax qualified basis ("Non-Qualified Contract") or purchased as an individual retirement annuity ("Annuity IRA"). On or after January 1, 2006, only Non-Qualified Contracts may be purchased.

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 may depend on the type of Contract, and 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.

Certain requirements must be satisfied in purchasing an Annuity IRA and receiving distributions from an Annuity IRA in order to continue receiving favorable tax treatment. As a result, purchasers of Annuity IRAs should seek competent legal and tax advice regarding the suitability of the Contract for their situation, the applicable requirements and the tax treatment of the rights and benefits of the Contract. The following discussion assumes that an Annuity IRA is purchased with proceeds and/or Contributions that qualify for the intended special federal income tax treatment.

Taxation of Annuities

Section 72 of the Code governs the taxation of the Contracts. You, as a "natural person," will generally not be taxed on increases, if any, to your Annuity Account Value until a distribution of all or part of the Annuity Account Value occurs (for example, a withdrawal or annuity payout under an annuity payout option). However, an assignment, pledge, or agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the Annuity Account Value of a Non-Qualified Contract will be treated as a distribution of such portion. An Annuity IRA may not be assigned as collateral. The taxable portion of a distribution (in the form of a single sum payout or an annuity) is taxable as ordinary income.

As a general rule, if the Non-Qualified Contract is owned by an entity that is not a natural person (for example, a corporation or certain trusts), the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal tax purposes. Such an Owner generally must 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 general rule does not apply, however, where the non-natural person is only the nominal Owner of a Contract and a beneficial Owner is a natural person. The rule also does not apply where:

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

The Contract is an Annuity IRA,

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

The Contract is purchased on behalf of an employee upon termination of a qualified plan, or

The Contract is an immediate annuity.

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

Withdrawals

In the case of a withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, partial withdrawals, including periodic withdrawals that are not part of an annuity payout, are generally treated as taxable income and taxed at ordinary income tax rates to the extent that the Annuity Account Value immediately before the withdrawal exceeds the "investment in the Contract" at that time. The "investment in the Contract" generally equals the amount of any nondeductible Contributions paid by or on behalf of any individual less any withdrawals that were excludable from income. If a partial withdrawal is made from a Guarantee Period which is subject to a Market Value Adjustment, then the Annuity Account Value immediately before the withdrawal will not be altered to take into account the Market Value Adjustment. As a result, for purposes of determining the taxable portion of the partial withdrawal, the Annuity Account Value will not reflect the amount, if any, deducted from or added to the Guarantee Period due to the Market Value Adjustment.

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, including a full surrender, is taxed at ordinary income tax rates.

In the case of a withdrawal under an Annuity IRA, including withdrawals under the periodic withdrawal option, a portion of the amount received may be non-taxable. The amount of the non-taxable portion is generally determined by the ratio of the "investment in the Contract" to the individual's Annuity Account Value. Special tax rules may be available for certain distributions from an Annuity IRA.

Annuity Payouts

Although the tax consequences may vary depending on the annuity form elected under the Contract, in general, only the portion of the annuity payout that exceeds the exclusion amount will be taxed. The exclusion amount is generally determined by a formula that establishes the ratio of the “investment in the Contract” to the expected return under the Contract. For fixed annuity payouts, in general there is no tax on the portion of each payout which represents the same ratio that the "investment in the Contract" allocated to the fixed annuity payouts bears to the total expected value of the annuity payouts for the term of the payouts (determined under Treasury Department regulations).

For variable annuity payouts, in general there is no tax on the portion of each payout which represents the same ratio that the "investment in the Contract" allocated to the variable annuity payouts bears to the number of payments 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). Once the investment in the Contract has been fully recovered, the full amount of any additional annuity payouts is taxable. If the annuity payments stop as a result of an Annuitant’s death before full recovery of the “investment in the Contract,” you should consult a competent tax adviser regarding the deductibility of the unrecovered amount.

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

Penalty Tax

For distributions from a Non-Qualified Contract, 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, or

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.

Other exceptions may apply to distributions from a Non-Qualified Contract. Similar exceptions from the penalty tax on distributions are provided for distributions from an Annuity IRA. For more details regarding this penalty tax and other exceptions that may be applicable, please consult a competent tax adviser.

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds

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

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

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 a Non-Qualified Contract must provide the following two distribution rules:

If the Owner dies before the date annuity payouts start, the entire interest in the Contract must generally be distributed within five years after the date of the Owner's 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 your spouse, the Contract may be continued in the name of the spouse as Owner, and

If the Owner dies on or after the date annuity payouts start, and before the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the remainder of the interest in the Contract must be distributed 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.

Distributions made to a Beneficiary upon the Owner's death from an Annuity IRA must be made pursuant to similar rules in Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.

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. The diversification requirements do not apply to Annuity IRAs. 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 the Company may not control the investments of the Sub-Accounts or the Portfolios, it expects that the Sub-Accounts and the Portfolios will comply with such regulations so that the Sub-accounts will be considered "adequately diversified." Owners bear the risk that the entire Non-Qualified Contract could be disqualified as an annuity under the Code due to the failure of the Series Account or a Sub-Account to be deemed to be adequately diversified.

Owner Control

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

Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges

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

Multiple Contracts

All deferred, Non-Qualified Annuity Contracts that are issued by First GWL&A (or our affiliates) to the same Owner during any calendar year will be treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the taxable amount.

Withholding

Non-Qualified Contract and Annuity IRA 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.

Individual Retirement Annuities

Only Contracts purchased prior to January 1, 2006, may be used with IRAs as described in Section 408 of the Code which permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity. Also, certain kinds of distributions from certain types of qualified and non-qualified retirement plans may be "rolled over" into an Annuity IRA following the rules set out in the Code. If you purchased this Contract for use with an IRA, you have been provided with supplemental information.

If a Contract is purchased to fund an IRA, the Annuitant must also be the Owner. In addition, if a Contract is purchased to fund an IRA, minimum distributions must commence not later than April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 70½. You should consult your tax adviser concerning these matters.

Various tax penalties may apply to Contributions in excess of specified limits, distributions that do not satisfy specified requirements, and certain other transactions. The Contract will be amended as necessary to conform to the requirements of the Code if there is a change in the law. Purchasers should seek competent advice as to the suitability of the Contract for use with IRAs.

Prior to January 1, 2006 at the time of your initial Contribution, you could specify whether you were purchasing a Non-Qualified Contract or an IRA Annuity.

Prior to January 1, 2006, we required you to purchase separate Contracts if you wanted to invest money qualifying for different annuity tax treatment under the Code. For each separate Contract you needed to make the required minimum initial Contribution.

Additional Contributions under the Contract must qualify for the same federal income tax treatment as the initial Contribution under the Contract. We will not accept an additional Contribution under a Contract if the federal income tax treatment of the Contribution would be different from the initial Contribution.

If a Contract is issued in connection with an employer's simplified employee pension plan, Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any of the benefits under the Contract will be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan itself, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract.

Assignments or Pledges

Generally, rights in the Non-Qualified Contract may be assigned or pledged for loans at any time during the life of the Annuitant. However, if the Contract is an Annuity IRA, you may not assign the Contract as collateral.

If a Non-Qualified 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 the Annuity Administration Department at First GWL&A. All assignments are subject to any action taken or payout made by First GWL&A 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 for a loan, it will be treated as a distribution as discussed above under "Taxation of Annuities." Please consult a competent tax adviser 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 representatives”). Schwab is registered as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is a member of NASD. Schwab’s principal offices are located at 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California 94104.

GWFS is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Contracts and is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Great-West.  GWFS is registered with the SEC as a broker/dealer under the Exchange Act and is a member of NASD. Its principal offices are located at 8515 East Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111.

First 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 __ 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 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 NASD rules and other applicable laws and regulations. In the past, the marketing allowance and/or other promotional incentives or payments to Schwab have 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 have received or will continue to 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 Portfolios. Voting instructions will be solicited by written 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.

Owners have no voting rights in First GWL&A.

Rights Reserved by First GWL&A

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 Contracts. Any changes will be made only to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable laws. Also, when required by law, we will obtain your approval of the changes and approval from any appropriate regulatory authority. Approval may not be required in all cases, however. Examples of the changes we may make include:

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

To Transfer any assets in any Sub-Account to another Sub-Account, or to one or more separate accounts, or to a Guarantee Period; 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 at which a valuation date is deemed to have ended, and/or

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, First GWL&A is not currently a party to, and its property is not currently subject to, any material legal proceedings. The lawsuits to which First GWL&A 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 First GWL&A.

Appendix B—Market Value Adjustments

 

The amount available for a full surrender, partial withdrawal or Transfer equals the amount requested plus or minus the Market Value Adjustment ("MVA"). The MVA is calculated by multiplying the amount requested by the market value adjustment factor ("MVAF").

The MVA formula

The MVA is determined using the following formula:

MVA = (amount applied) X (Market Value Adjustment Factor)

The MVAF is:

MVAF = {[(1 + i)/(1 + j)] N/12} – 1

Where:

       i is the U.S. Treasury Strip ask side yield as published by Bloomberg Professional® on the last business day of the week prior to the date the stated rate of interest was established for the Guarantee Period. The term of i is measured in years and equals the term of the Guarantee Period, and

j is the U.S. Treasury Strip ask side yield as published by Bloomberg Professional® on the last business day of the week prior to the week the Guarantee Period is broken.

 

The term of j equals the remaining term to maturity of the Guarantee Period, rounded up to the higher number of years; and N is the number of complete months remaining until maturity. If N is less than 6, the MVA will equal 0.

Examples

Following are four examples of Market Value Adjustments illustrating (1) increasing interest rates,

(2) decreasing interest rates, (3) flat interest rates

(i and j are within .10% of each other), and (4) less than 6 months to maturity.

Appendix C—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, plus or minus

 

3)

a per unit charge or credit for any taxes incurred by or provided for in the Sub-Account, which is determined by First 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 0.85%.

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 not defined in this Statement of Additional Information have the same meanings as are defined in the Prospectus under the heading "Definitions."

 

FIRST GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

AND THE VARIABLE ANNUITY-1 SERIES ACCOUNT

 

First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the "Company" or "First GWL&A") (formerly known as Canada Life Insurance Company of New York), the issuer of the Contract, is a New York corporation qualified to sell life insurance and annuity contracts in New York. It was qualified to do business on June 7, 1971. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company ("GWL&A"), a Colorado stock life insurance company. GWL&A 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.

 

First GWL&A is rated by a number of nationally recognized rating agencies. The ratings represent the opinion of the rating agencies regarding the financial strength of the Company and its ability to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders. The ratings take into account an agreement whereby GWL&A has undertaken to provide First GWL&A with certain financial support related to maintaining required statutory surplus and liquidity.

The assets allocated to the Series Account are the exclusive property of the Company. Registration of the Series Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940 does not involve supervision of the management or investment practices or policies of the Series Account or of the Company by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company may accumulate in the Series Account proceeds from charges under the Contracts and other amounts in excess of the Series Account assets representing reserves and liabilities under the Contract and other variable annuity contracts issued by the

 

B-3

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.

 

CALCULATION OF ANNUITY PAYOUTS

 

 

A.

Fixed Annuity Options

 

The amount of each annuity payout under a fixed annuity option is fixed and guaranteed by the Company. On the Payout Commencement Date, the Annuity Account Value held in the Guarantee Period Fund, with a Market Value Adjustment, if applicable, less Premium Tax, if any, is computed and that portion of the Annuity Account Value which will be applied to the fixed annuity option selected is determined. The amount of the first monthly payment under the fixed annuity option selected will be at least as large as would result from using the annuity tables contained in the Contract to apply to the annuity option selected. The dollar amounts of any fixed annuity payouts will not vary during the entire period of annuity payouts and are determined according to the provisions of the annuity option selected.

 

 

B.

Variable Annuity Options

 

To the extent a variable annuity option has been selected, 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 monthly payout by the Sub-Account's Annuity Unit Value on the fifth 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 payout period.

 

The first payout under a variable annuity payout option will be based on the value of each Sub-Account on the fifth Valuation Date preceding the Payout Commencement Date. It will be determined by applying the appropriate rate to the amount applied under the payout option. Payouts 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 fifth 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.

 

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYOUTS

 

With respect to amounts allocated to the Series Account, payout 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 payout are received by the Annuity Administration Department. However, the determination, application or payout of any death benefit, Transfer, full surrender, partial withdrawal or annuity payout may be deferred to the extent dependent on Accumulation or Annuity Unit Values, for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings) or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, for any period during which any emergency exists as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Company to determine the investment experience of such Accumulation or Annuity Units or 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

B.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

C.

Principal Underwriter

 

The offering of the Contracts is made on a continuous basis by GWFS Equities, Inc. ("GWFS"), an affiliate of First GWL&A. GWFS is a Delaware corporation and is a member of the NASD. 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 or any previous principal underwriter for the Contracts was zero for the last three fiscal years.

 

 

D.

Administrative Services  

 

First GWL&A and GWL&A have entered into an Administrative Services Agreement dated August 1, 2003, as amended. Pursuant to the agreement, GWL&A performs certain corporate support services, investment services and other back office administrative services for First GWL&A. In addition, certain of GWL&A's property, equipment, and facilities are made available for First GWL&A for its operations. All charges for services and use of facilities to the extent practicable reflect actual costs, and are intended to be in accordance with New York Insurance Laws. The total compensation paid to GWL&A in connection with these services for the last three fiscal years was $702,200 for 2006, $1,470,800 for 2005, and $1,021,700 for 2004.

 

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

 

 

 

B-3

WITHHOLDING

 

Annuity payouts 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 payouts from which taxes are withheld.

 

Notwithstanding the recipient's election, withholding may be required with respect to certain payouts to be delivered outside the United States and with respect to certain distributions from certain types of qualified retirement plans, unless the proceeds are transferred directly to another qualified retirement plan. 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 taxpayer identification number ("TIN") (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 financial statements of First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company should be considered only as bearing upon Depositor'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 interests of Contract Owners under the Contracts are 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

First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

Greenwood Village, Colorado

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005

(Dollars In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

 

1.

Organization And Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization – First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the “Company”), is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“GWL&A”). On December 31, 2005, First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“FGWL&A”) merged with and into Canada Life Insurance Company of New York (“CLNY”). Upon completion of the merger, CLNY’s name was changed to that of the Company. The merger has been accounted for as a “reorganization of businesses under common control” and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of FGWL&A and CLNY and the results of their operations have been combined at their historical cost basis as if the merger had taken place at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

 

The Company offers individual and group life insurance, individual and group annuity products and group accident and health products. The Company was incorporated as a stock life insurance company in the State of New York and is subject to regulation by the New York Department of Insurance.

 

Basis of presentation - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are required to account for policy reserves, allowances for credit losses, deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired, derivative instruments, valuation of privately placed fixed maturities and taxes on income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications have been made to the 2005 financial statements to conform to the 2006 presentation. The changes in presentation to the statements of cash flows relate to the cash flows from sales and purchases of repurchase agreement assets which in 2006 are presented in net change in short-term investments and in 2005 were presented on a gross basis in proceeds from sales of fixed maturities and in purchases of fixed maturities, and to the reclassification of the change in repurchase agreement borrowings from financing activities into investing activities. In addition, contract deposits and withdrawals, which were presented on a net basis in 2005, are shown separately in 2006. Reclassifications were also made in the 2005 balance sheets and the statements of income regarding the presentation of deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired, goodwill, other assets, general insurance expense, amortization of deferred acquisition costs and interest expense. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, stockholder’s equity or net income and were done to further enhance the readers’ understanding of the Company’s financial statements.

 

Significant accounting policies

 

Investments - Investments are reported as follows:

 

 

1.

The Company has classified its fixed maturity investments as available-for-sale and carries them at fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholder’s equity section in the accompanying balance sheets. Net unrealized gains and losses related to participating contract policies are recorded as undistributed earnings on participating business in the accompanying balance sheets.

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

 

FIRST GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005

(Dollars In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

 

 

2.

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at their unpaid balances adjusted for any unamortized premiums or discounts and any uncollectible accounts. 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 is sufficient to absorb credit losses on its impaired loans in management’s opinion. Management’s judgment is based upon extensive situational analysis of each individual loan and may consider past loss experience and current and projected economic conditions. The measurement of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the 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 accompanying balance sheets.

 

 

4.

Policy loans are carried at their unpaid balances.

 

 

5.

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.

 

 

6.

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

 

 

7.

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 interest 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 files for bankruptcy 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 balance sheets. The liability is collateralized by securities with approximately the same value.

 

 

8.

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 the event of default by the borrower. The Company’s securities lending transactions are accounted for as collateralized borrowings. Collateral is defined as government securities, letters of credit, and/or cash collateral. The borrower can return and the Company can request the loaned securities at any time. The Company maintains ownership of the securities at all

times and is entitled to receive from the borrower any payments for interest or dividends received on such securities during the loan term.

Derivative financial instruments - All derivatives, whether designated as hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance sheets at fair value. Accounting for the ongoing changes in fair value of a derivative depends on 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 the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. 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 on the Company’s balance sheets and are recognized in the 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 change.

 

Cash - Cash includes only amounts in demand deposit accounts.

 

Bank overdrafts - The Company’s cash management system provides for the reimbursement of all major bank disbursement accounts on a daily basis. Checks issued but not yet presented to banks for payment can result in overdraft balances for accounting purposes and are included in other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, this liability was $982 and $2,368, respectively.

 

Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) and value of business acquired (“VOBA”) - DAC, which primarily consist of sales commissions and costs associated with the Company’s sales representatives related to the production of new business, have been deferred to the extent recoverable. VOBA represents the estimated fair value of insurance or annuity contracts acquired through the acquisition of another insurance company. The recoverability of such costs is dependent upon the future profitability of the related business. The Company’s VOBA resulted from GWL&A’s 2003 acquisition of CLNY. DAC and VOBA associated with the annuity products and flexible premium universal life insurance products are 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. Amortization of deferred acquisition costs was $2,875 and $2,771 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. See Note 7 for additional information regarding deferred acquisition costs and the value of business acquired.

 

Goodwill - Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with an acquisition transaction. 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, 2006 and 2005.

 

Separate accounts - Separate account assets and related liabilities are carried at fair value in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company’s separate accounts invest in shares of Maxim Series Fund, Inc., an open-end management investment company, which is an affiliate of GWL&A, 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 contract holders and, therefore, are not included in the Company’s statements of income. Revenues of the Company from the separate accounts consist of contract maintenance fees, administrative fees and mortality and expense risk charges.

Life insurance and annuity policy reserves - Life insurance and annuity policy reserves with life contingencies in the amounts of $449,022 and $450,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are computed on the basis of estimated mortality, investment yield, withdrawals, future maintenance and settlement expenses and retrospective experience rating premium refunds. Annuity policy reserves without life contingencies in the amounts of $48,456 and $48,589 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are established at the contract holder’s account value.

 

Reinsurance - Policy reserves and policy and contract claims ceded to other insurance companies are carried as a reinsurance receivable on the 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 are valued based primarily on the Company’s prior experience. The claims in the process of settlement are valued in accordance with the terms of the related policies and contracts.

 

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

 

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. Accident and health premiums are earned on a monthly pro rata basis. Revenues for annuity and other contracts without significant life contingencies consist of contract charges for the cost of insurance, contract administration and surrender fees that have been assessed against the contract account balance during the period and are recognized when earned. Fee income is derived primarily from contracts for claim processing or other administrative services related to uninsured business and from assets under management. Fees from contracts for claim processing or other administrative services are recorded as the services are provided. Fees from assets under management, which consist of contract maintenance fees, administration fees and mortality and expense risk charges, are recognized when due. Benefits and expenses on policies with life contingencies are associated with earned premiums so as to result in recognition of profits over the life of the contracts.

Income taxes - Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for expected future tax consequences of events have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or 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.

 

Regulatory requirements - In accordance with the requirements of the New York State Department of Insurance (the “Department”), the Company must demonstrate that it maintains adequate capital. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company was in compliance with the requirement (See Note 8).

 

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

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements –

 

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

 

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

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 permits any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to be carried at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. In addition, SFAS No. 155 requires that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets be analyzed to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or contain an embedded derivative. SFAS No. 155 is applicable to new or modified financial instruments in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, however it may be applied to instruments that an entity holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company adopted SFAS No. 155 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or the results of its operations.

 

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.

Accounting pronouncements that will be adopted in the future -

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 also provides expanded information about the extent to which a company measures assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is applicable whenever other authoritative pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial position, the results of its operations and the disclosure requirements applicable to its fair value measurements.

 

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

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturities at December 31, 2006, by projected maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities will likely differ from these projections because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities include collateralized mortgage obligations that consist primarily of sequential and planned amortization classes with final stated maturities of two to thirty years and expected average lives of less than one to fifteen years. Prepayments on all mortgage-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 on a quarterly basis.

(2,211)

 

Gross realized gains and gross realized losses from sales were primarily attributable to interest rate related gains and losses on repurchase agreement financing transactions and short duration fixed maturity investments resulting from the sale of securities acquired in the current year.

 

The Company has fixed maturity securities with fair values in the amounts of $531 that have been non-income producing for the twelve months preceding December 31, 2006. These securities were written down to their fair value in the period they were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

 

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

 

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

 

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments - The Company attempts to match the timing of when interest rates are committed on insurance products and 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 as a method of adjusting the duration of the overall portfolio of investments.

The Company occasionally purchases a financial instrument that contains a derivative instrument that is “embedded” within the financial instrument. Upon purchasing the instrument, the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the remaining component of the financial instrument (i.e. the host contract) and whether a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument could meet the definition of a derivative instrument. When it is determined that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and (2) a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and carried at fair value.

 

Although management believes the above-mentioned derivatives are effective hedges from an economic standpoint, they do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”

(“SFAS No. 133”), as amended. As such, changes in the market value of these instruments are recorded in net income. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, net income was decreased by $58 and $186, respectively, 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 on investments.

 

Securities pledged, restricted assets and special deposits – The Company pledges investment securities it owns to unaffiliated parties through certain transactions, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase, futures contracts and state regulatory deposits.

The Company had securities on deposit with governmental authorities or trustees as required by certain insurance laws with carrying values in the amounts of $331 and $5,474 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

During 2006, the Company began participating in a securities lending program whereby securities, which are included in invested assets in the accompanying balance sheets, are loaned to third parties. The Company requires a minimum of 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities to be separately maintained as collateral for the loans. Securities with a cost or amortized cost in the amount of $42,052 and estimated fair value in the amount of $43,348 were on loan under the program at December 31, 2006. The Company was liable for collateral under its control in the amount of $45,243 at December 31, 2006.

 

Additionally, the fair value of margin deposits related to futures contracts was approximately $120 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

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

 

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

 

The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred is based on 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, about the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management’s evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the future earnings potential of the issuer.

 

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

 

 

Fair value is significantly below cost.

 

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

 

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

 

A debt security has been downgraded by a rating agency.

 

The financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated.

 

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

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

The Company’s securities fluctuate in value based upon interest rates in financial markets and other economic factors. These fluctuations, caused by market interest rate changes, have little bearing on whether or not the investment will be ultimately recoverable. The Company has the ability and intent to hold the securities with unrealized losses until a recovery of fair value; therefore, the Company considers these declines in value as temporary.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005

(Dollars In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

 

At December 31, 2006 and 2005 there were no unrealized losses on equity investments.

 

Fixed maturity investments - At December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were 36 and 48 securities, respectively, that had been in a loss position for less than twelve months with carrying values in the amounts of $100,254 and $123,331, respectively, and unrealized losses in the amounts of $1,308 and $2,529, respectively. At December 31, 2006, all of these securities were investment-grade rated. At December 31, 2005, less than 2% of these securities were rated non-investment grade. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were 111 and 95 securities, respectively, that had been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or longer with carrying values in the amounts of $150,088 and $79,761, respectively, and unrealized losses in the amounts of $5,041 and $2,940, respectively. The losses on these securities are primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates and changes in credit spreads since the securities were acquired. The company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2006.

 

U.S. Government direct obligations and U.S. agencies, obligations of U.S. States and their subdivisions and foreign government - The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government direct obligations and U.S. agencies, obligations of U.S. States and their subdivisions and foreign government as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 were caused by interest rate increases since the securities were acquired. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investments. All of these investments were rated A and above. The company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2006.

 

Corporate debt securities - At December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were 21 and 25 securities, respectively, that had been in a loss position for less than twelve months with carrying values in the amounts of $41,942 and $21,864, respectively, and unrealized losses in the amounts of $784 and $1,079, respectively. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were 80 and 78 securities, respectively, that had been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or longer with carrying values in the amounts of $47,960 and $45,243, respectively, and unrealized losses in the amounts of $2,144 and $1,783, respectively. The losses on these securities are primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates and changes in credit spreads since the securities were acquired. The Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2006.

 

In the electric/utilities industry, there were four securities that have been in a loss position for less than twelve months with unrealized losses of in the amount $86. Seventeen securities have been in a loss position for twelve months or longer with unrealized losses in the amount of $321. Less than $15 of unrealized losses in this industry was related to a decrease in credit quality.

 

In the industrial products and services industry, there were six securities that have been in a loss position for twelve months or longer with unrealized losses in the amount of $357. None of the unrealized losses were related to a decrease in credit quality.

 

The remaining unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in corporate debt securities in both categories are not concentrated in any one industry.

 

Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities - At December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were six and fifteen securities, respectively, that had been in a loss position for less than twelve months with carrying values in the amounts of $16,256 and $84,621, respectively, and unrealized losses in the amounts of $153 and $1,213, respectively. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were eighteen and six securities, respectively, that had been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or longer with carrying values in the amounts of $77,153 and $14,226, respectively, and unrealized losses in the amounts of $2,215 and $684, respectively. None of these losses were related to a decrease in credit quality. The losses on these securities are primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates and changes in credit

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined using available information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. 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.

 

The estimated fair value of fixed maturities and equity investments that are publicly traded are obtained from an independent pricing service. To determine fair value of fixed maturity and equity investments that are not actively traded, the Company utilizes discounted cash flows calculated at current market rates on investments of similar quality and term.

 

Mortgage loan fair value estimates generally are 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 the portfolio.

 

Policy loans accrue interest generally at variable rates with no fixed maturity dates and therefore, estimated fair value approximates carrying value.

 

FIRST GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005

(Dollars In Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

 

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

 

The estimated fair value of policyholders’ funds is the same as the carrying amount since the Company can change the interest crediting rates due to fluctuations in market interest rates with 30 days notice.

 

The carrying value of short-term investments and repurchase agreements is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Included in other liabilities at December 31, 2006 and 2005, are derivative financial instruments in the amounts of $8 and $15, respectively. These derivative financial instruments consist of credit default swaps.

Allowances On Policyholder Receivables

 

Amounts receivable for uninsured accident and health plan claims paid on behalf of customers and premiums in the course of collection are generally uncollateralized. Such receivables are from a large number of policyholders and throughout many industry groups.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at a level that is sufficient to absorb credit losses on amounts receivable related to uninsured accident and health plan claims and premiums in course of collection in management’s opinion. Management’s judgment is based on past loss experience and current and projected economic conditions.

 

Activity in the allowance for amounts receivable related to uninsured accident and health plan claims paid on behalf of customers is as follows:

Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding risks to other insurance enterprises under excess coverage and co-insurance contracts. The Company retains 100% of the first $50 of coverage per individual life and has a maximum retention of $250 per individual life. Life insurance policies are first reinsured to GWL&A up to a maximum of $1,250 of coverage per individual life. Any excess amount is reinsured to a third party.

 

Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. Consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible. 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, 2006 and 2005, the reinsurance receivables had net carrying values in the amounts of $48,537 and $48,870, respectively. There were no allowances for potential uncollectible reinsurance receivables at either December 31, 2006 or 2005.

Under the agreement, FGWL&A is responsible for and will receive the benefits of any income tax liability or benefit computed on a separate income tax return basis. Prior to the merger of FGWL&A and CLNY, CLNY filed its federal income tax return on a separate basis. FGWL&A and CLNY filed their 2005 income tax returns on these bases.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of

First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

Greenwood Village, Colorado

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the Company) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 1, the 2004 financial statements have been restated to give effect to the merger of First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and Canada Life Insurance Company of New York which has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations.”

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization – First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the “Company”), a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“GWLA”) emerged as the result of the combination and merger of two wholly-owned subsidiaries of GWLA. On December 31, 2005, First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“FGWLA”) merged with and into Canada Life Insurance Company of New York (“CLNY”). Upon completion of the merger, CLNY’s name was changed to that of the Company. The combination and merger has been accounted for as a “reorganization of businesses under common control” and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of FGWLA and CLNY and the results of their operations have been combined at their historical cost basis as if the combination and merger had taken place at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

 

The Company offers individual and group life insurance, individual and group annuity products and group accident and health products. The Company was incorporated as a stock life insurance company in the State of New York and is subject to regulation by the New York Department of Insurance.

 

Basis of presentation - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are required to account for policy reserves, allowances for credit losses, deferred policy acquisition costs, derivative instruments, valuation of privately placed fixed maturities and taxes on income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 financial statements and related notes to conform to the 2005 presentation. These changes in classification had no effect on previously reported stockholder’s equity or net income.

 

Significant accounting policies

 

Investments - Investments are reported as follows:

 

 

1.

The Company has classified its fixed maturity investments as available-for-sale and carries them at fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholder’s equity section in the accompanying balance sheets. Net unrealized gains and losses related to participating contract policies are recorded as undistributed earnings on participating business in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

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

 

 

2.

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at their unpaid balances adjusted for any unamortized premiums or discounts and any uncollectible accounts. 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 is sufficient to absorb credit losses on its impaired loans in management’s opinion. Management’s judgment is based upon past loss experience, current and projected economic conditions and extensive situational analysis of each individual loan. The measurement of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the collateral.

 

 

4.

Equity investments 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 accompanying balance sheets. The Company classifies its equity investments as available-for-sale.

 

7

 

 

4.

Policy loans are carried at their unpaid balances.

 

 

5.

Short-term investments include securities purchased with initial maturities of one year or less and are carried at amortized cost. The Company considers short-term investments to be available-for-sale and amortized cost approximates fair value.

 

 

6.

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

 

 

9.

From time to time, the Company may employ a trading strategy that involves the sale of mortgage 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 interest 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 files for bankruptcy 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 balance sheets. The liability is collateralized by securities with approximately the same value.

 

Derivative financial instruments - All derivatives, whether designated as hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance sheets at fair value. Accounting for the ongoing changes in fair value of a derivative depends on 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 the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. 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 on the Company’s balance sheets and are recognized in the income statements when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are recognized in net investment income in the period of change.

 

Cash - Cash includes only amounts in demand deposit accounts.

 

Bank overdrafts - The Company’s cash management system provides for the reimbursement of all major bank disbursement accounts on a daily basis. Checks issued but not yet presented to banks for payment frequently result in overdraft balances for accounting purposes and are included in other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, this liability was $2,368 and $2,567, respectively.

 

8

Deferred policy acquisition costs - Policy acquisition costs, which primarily consist of sales commissions and costs associated with the Company’s sales representatives related to the production of new business, have been deferred to the extent recoverable. The recoverability of such costs is dependent upon the future profitability of the related business. These costs are variable in nature and are dependent upon sales volume. Deferred costs associated with the annuity 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. Deferred costs associated with traditional life insurance are amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies in proportion to premium revenues recognized. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs was $2,771 and $4,302 during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Separate accounts - Separate account assets and related liabilities are carried at fair value in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company’s separate accounts invest in shares of Maxim Series Fund, Inc., an open-end management investment company, which is an affiliate of GWLA, 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 contract holders and, therefore, are not included in the Company’s statements of income. Revenues of the Company from the separate accounts consist of contract maintenance fees, administrative fees and mortality and expense risk charges.

 

Life insurance and annuity policy reserves - Life insurance and annuity policy reserves with life contingencies in the amounts of $450,000 and $444,283 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are computed on the basis of estimated mortality, investment yield, withdrawals, future maintenance and settlement expenses and retrospective experience rating premium refunds. Annuity policy reserves without life contingencies in the amounts of $48,589 and $49,302 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are established at the contract holder’s account value.

 

Reinsurance - Policy reserves and policy and contract claims ceded to other insurance companies are carried as a reinsurance receivable on the 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 are valued based primarily on the Company’s prior experience. The claims in the process of settlement are valued in accordance with the terms of the related policies and contracts.

 

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

 

9

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. Accident and health premiums are earned on a monthly pro rata basis. Revenues for annuity and other contracts without significant life contingencies consist of contract charges for the cost of insurance, contract administration and surrender fees that have been assessed against the contract account balance during the period and are recognized when earned. Fee income is derived primarily from contracts for claim processing or other administrative services related to uninsured business and from assets under management. Fees from contracts for claim processing or other administrative services are recorded as the services are provided. 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. This association is accomplished by means of the provision for policy reserves. The average interest-crediting rate on annuity products was approximately 3.2% during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

Income taxes - Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method of recognition in which the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or 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.

 

Regulatory requirements - In accordance with the requirements of the New York State Department of Insurance (the “Department”), the Company must demonstrate that it maintains adequate capital. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company was in compliance with the requirement (See Note 7).

 

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

 

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

See Note 4 for additional information on policies regarding estimated fair value of fixed maturities.

 

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturities at December 31, 2005, by projected maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities will likely differ from these projections because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities include collateralized mortgage obligations that consist primarily of sequential and planned amortization classes with final stated maturities of two to thirty years and expected average lives of less than one to fifteen years. Prepayments on all mortgage-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.

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

 

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

 

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments - The Company attempts to match the timing of when interest rates are committed on insurance products and 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 as a method of adjusting the duration of the overall portfolio of investments.

 

The Company occasionally purchases a financial instrument that contains a derivative instrument that is “embedded” within the financial instrument. Upon purchasing the instrument, the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the remaining component of the financial instrument (i.e. the host contract) and whether a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument could meet the definition of a derivative instrument. When it is determined that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and (2) a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and carried at fair value.

Although the above-mentioned derivatives are effective hedges from an economic standpoint, they do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), as amended. As such, periodic changes in the market value of these instruments are recorded in net investment income. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, net investment income was decreased by $170 and increased by $591, respectively, 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 on investments.

 

Securities pledged, restricted assets and special deposits – The Company pledges investment securities it owns to unaffiliated parties through certain transactions, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase, futures contracts and state regulatory deposits. The Company had securities on deposit with governmental authorities or trustees as required by certain insurance laws with carrying values in the amounts of $5,474 and $5,493 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Additionally, the fair value of margin deposits related to futures contracts was approximately $120 at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

14

Impairment of fixed maturities - The Company classifies all of its fixed maturities as available-for-sale and marks them to market with the related net gain or loss, net of policyholder related amounts and deferred taxes, being recorded in other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity section in the accompanying balance sheets. All securities with gross unrealized losses at the balance sheet date are subjected to the Company’s process for identifying other-than-temporary impairments.

 

The Company writes securities down to their fair values when it deems a security to be other-than-temporarily impaired. A realized loss is recorded in the period the securities are deemed to be so impaired, and adjusts the cost basis of the securities accordingly. The Company does not adjust the revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in value.

 

The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred is based on 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, about the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management’s evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the future earnings potential of the issuer.

 

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

 

 

Fair value is significantly below cost.

 

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

 

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

 

A debt security has been downgraded by a rating agency.

 

The financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated.

 

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

 

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

 

The Company’s portfolio of fixed maturities fluctuates in value based on interest rates in financial markets and other economic factors. These fluctuations caused by market rate changes have little bearing on whether or not the investment will ultimately be recoverable. Therefore, the Company considers these declines in value as temporary, even in periods exceeding one year.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were 143 and 133 securities, respectively, that had been in an unrealized loss position with carrying values in the amounts of $203,092 and $126,315, respectively and unrealized losses in the amounts of $5,469 and $2,604, respectively. At December 31, 2005, the Company has no information available to cause it to believe that any of these investments are other-than-temporarily impaired.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairments in the fair value of its available-for-sale investments in the amounts of $130 and $814, respectively.

 

16

U.S. Government direct obligations and U.S. agencies, obligations of U.S. States and their subdivisions and foreign government - The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government direct obligations and U.S. agencies, obligations of U.S. States and their subdivisions and foreign government as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 were caused by interest rate increases since the securities were acquired. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investments. All of these investments were rated A and above. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, it does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2005.

 

Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities - The unrealized losses in both mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are related to interest rate increases since the purchase of the securities. There are 15 securities with losses of less than twelve months duration with fair values in the amounts of $84,621 and 6 securities with losses of greater than twelve months duration with fair values in the amounts of $14,226. While the securities are in an unrealized loss position, all are rated AAA except one issue with a fair value in the amount of $319. Payments continue to be made under their original terms and the Company believes the collateral is sufficient to repay remaining outstanding principal. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, it does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2005.

 

Corporate debt securities - The Company has 25 securities with unrealized losses for less than twelve months in duration in the amounts of $1,079 and 78 securities with unrealized losses for more than twelve months in duration in the amount of $1,783. The unrealized losses on these investments are not concentrated in any one industry. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, it does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2005.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined using available information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. 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.

 

The estimated fair value of fixed maturities and equity investments that are publicly traded are obtained from an independent pricing service. To determine fair value of fixed maturity and equity investments that are not actively traded, the Company utilizes discounted cash flows calculated at current market rates on investments of similar quality and term.

 

Included in other assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004, are derivative financial instruments in the amounts of $0 and $13, respectively. Included in other liabilities at December 31, 2005 and 2004, are derivative financial instruments in the amounts of $15 and $0, respectively. These derivative financial instruments consist principally of credit default swaps and interest rate futures.

 

Mortgage loan fair value estimates generally are 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 the portfolio.

 

Policy loans accrue interest generally at variable rates with no fixed maturity dates and therefore, estimated fair value approximates carrying value.

 

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

 

The estimated fair value of policyholders’ funds is the same as the carrying amount since the Company can change the interest crediting rates due to fluctuations in market interest rates with 30 days notice.

 

 

5.

ALLOWANCES ON POLICYHOLDER RECEIVABLES

 

Amounts receivable for uninsured accident and health plan claims paid on behalf of customers and premiums in the course of collection are generally uncollateralized. Such receivables are from a large number of policyholders and throughout many industry groups.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at a level that is sufficient to absorb credit losses on amounts receivable related to uninsured accident and health plan claims and premiums in course of collection in management’s opinion. Management’s judgment is based on past loss experience and current and projected economic conditions.

 

Activity in the allowance for amounts receivable related to uninsured accident and health plan claims paid on behalf of customers is as follows:

REINSURANCE

 

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding risks to other insurance enterprises under excess coverage and co-insurance contracts. The Company retains 100% of the first $50 of coverage per individual life and has a maximum retention of $250 per individual life. Life insurance policies are first reinsured to GWLA up to a maximum of $1,250 of coverage per individual life. Any excess amount is reinsured to a third party.

 

Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. Consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible. 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, 2005 and 2004, the reinsurance receivables had net carrying values in the amounts of $48,870 and $43,559, respectively. There were no allowances for potential uncollectible reinsurance receivables at either December 31, 2005 or 2004.

 

Reinsurance premiums ceded to GWLA during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $939 and $804, respectively.

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

Security Transactions

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

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

Contracts in the Payout Phase

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

Federal Income Taxes

 

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

Net Transfers

Net transfers include transfers between investment divisions of the Series Account as well as transfers between other investment options of the Company.

Investment Income Ratio

The Investment Income Ratio represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the investment division from the underlying mutual fund divided by average net assets. The ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values and has been annualized for any investment division not having a full year of operations. The recognition of investment income by the investment division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the investment division invests.

EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Contract Maintenance Charge

The Company deducts from each participant account a $25 annual maintenance charge on accounts under $50,000 as of each contract's anniversary date.

Transfer Fees

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

Deductions for Premium Taxes

 

The Company deducts from each contribution in the Series Account any applicable state Premium Tax or retaliatory tax, which currently range from 0% to 3.5%.

 

Deductions for Assumption of Mortality and Expense Risks

The Company deducts an amount, computed daily, from the net asset value of the Series Account investments, equal to an annual rate of 0.85%. This charge compensates the Company for its assumption of certain mortality, death benefit, and expense risks.

 

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

 

5.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES

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, 2006 is included on the following pages.

The Expense Ratio represents the annualized contract expenses of the Series Account, consisting of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratio includes 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.

Item 28.

Indemnification

 

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

 

New York Corporate Code

 

Section 721. Nonexclusivity of statutory provisions for indemnification of directors and officers.

 

The indemnification and advancement of expenses granted pursuant to, or provided by, this article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, whether contained in the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws or, when authorized by such certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (i) a resolution of shareholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii) an agreement providing for such indemnification, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled. Nothing contained in this article shall affect any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel other than directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.

 

Section 722. Authorization for indemnification of directors and officers.

 

(a) A corporation may indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding (other than one by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor), whether civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which any director or officer of the corporation served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, was a director or officer of the corporation, or served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(b) The termination of any such civil or criminal action or proceeding by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption that any such director or officer did not act, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(c) A corporation may indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, of any partnership, joint

 

venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with an appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification under this paragraph shall be made in respect of (1) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.

 

(d) For the purpose of this section, a corporation shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to the corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be considered fines; and action taken or omitted by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such person's duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

 

Section 723. Payment of indemnification other than by court award.

 

(a) A person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character described in section 722 shall be entitled to indemnification as authorized in such section.

 

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a), any indemnification under section 722 or otherwise permitted by section 721, unless ordered by a court under section 724 (Indemnification of directors and officers by a court), shall be made by the corporation, only if authorized in the specific case:

 

(1) By the board acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding upon a finding that the director or officer has met the standard of conduct set forth in

section 722 or established pursuant to section 721, as the case may be, or,

 

(2) If a quorum under subparagraph (1) is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs; (A) By the board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such sections has been met by such director or officer, or (B) By the shareholders upon a finding that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such sections.

 

(c) Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount as, and to the extent, required by paragraph (a) of section 725.

 

Section 724. Indemnification of directors and officers by a court.

 

(a) Notwithstanding the failure of a corporation to provide indemnification, and despite any contrary resolution of the board or of the shareholders in the specific case under section 723 (Payment of indemnification other than by court award), indemnification shall be awarded by a court to the extent authorized under section 722 (Authorization for indemnification of directors and officers), and paragraph (a) of section 723. Application therefor may be made, in every case, either:

 

(1) In the civil action or proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, or

 

 

(2) To the supreme court in a separate proceeding, in which case the application shall set forth the disposition of any previous application made to any court for the same or similar relief and also reasonable cause for the failure to make application for such relief in the action or proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid.

 

(b) The application shall be made in such manner and form as may be required by the applicable rules of court or, in the absence thereof, by direction of a court to which it is made. Such application shall be upon notice to the corporation. The court may also direct that notice be given at the expense of the corporation to the shareholders and such other persons as it may designate in such manner as it may require.

 

(c) Where indemnification is sought by judicial action, the court may allow a person such reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, during the pendency of the litigation as are necessary in connection with his defense therein, if the court shall find that the defendant has by his pleadings or during the course of the litigation raised genuine issues of fact or law.

 

Section 725. Other provisions affecting indemnification of directors and officers.

 

(a) All expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding which are advanced by the corporation under paragraph (c) of section 723 (Payment of indemnification other than by court award) or allowed by a court under paragraph (c) of section 724 (Indemnification of directors and officers by a court) shall be repaid in case the person receiving such advancement or allowance is ultimately found, under the procedure set forth in this article, not to be entitled to indemnification or, where indemnification is granted, to the extent the expenses so advanced by the corporation or allowed by the court exceed the indemnification to which he is entitled.

 

(b) No indemnification, advancement or allowance shall be made under this article in any circumstance where it appears:

 

(1) That the indemnification would be inconsistent with the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of a foreign corporation which prohibits or otherwise limits such indemnification;

 

(2) That the indemnification would be inconsistent with a provision of the certificate of incorporation, a by-law, a resolution of the board or of the shareholders, an agreement or other proper corporate action, in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the threatened or pending action or proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

 

(3) If there has been a settlement approved by the court, that the indemnification would be inconsistent with any condition with respect to indemnification expressly imposed by the court in approving the settlement.

 

(c) If any expenses or other amounts are paid by way of indemnification, otherwise than by court order or action by the shareholders, the corporation shall, not later than the next annual meeting of shareholders unless such meeting is held within three months from the date of such payment, and, in any event, within

fifteen months from the date of such payment, mail to its shareholders of record at the time entitled to vote for the election of directors a statement specifying the persons paid, the amounts paid, and the nature and status at the time of such payment of the litigation or threatened litigation.

 

(d) If any action with respect to indemnification of directors and officers is taken by way of amendment of the by-laws, resolution of directors, or by agreement, then the corporation shall, not later than the next annual meeting of shareholders, unless such meeting is held within three months from the date of such action, and, in any event, within fifteen months from the date of such action, mail to its shareholders of record at the time entitled to vote for the election of directors a statement specifying the action taken.

 

(e) Any notification required to be made pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (c) or (d) of this section by any domestic mutual insurer shall be satisfied by compliance with the corresponding provisions of section one thousand two hundred sixteen of the insurance law.

 

 

(f) The provisions of this article relating to indemnification of directors and officers and insurance therefor shall apply to domestic corporations and foreign corporations doing business in this state, except as provided in section 1320 (Exemption from certain provisions).

 

Section 726. Insurance for indemnification of directors and officers.

 

(a) Subject to paragraph (b), a corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance:

 

(1) To indemnify the corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and officers under the provisions of this article, and

 

(2) To indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by the corporation under the provisions of this article, and

 

(3) To indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the corporation under the provisions of this article provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the superintendent of insurance, for a retention amount and for co-insurance.

 

(b) No insurance under paragraph (a) may provide for any payment, other than cost of defense, to or on behalf of any director or officer:

 

(1) if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the insured director or officer establishes that his acts of active and deliberate dishonesty were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled, or

 

(2) in relation to any risk the insurance of which is prohibited under the insurance law of this state.

 

(c) Insurance under any or all subparagraphs of paragraph (a) may be included in a single contract or supplement thereto. Retrospective rated contracts are prohibited.

 

(d) The corporation shall, within the time and to the persons provided in paragraph (c) of section 725 (Other provisions affecting indemnification of directors or officers), mail a statement in respect of any insurance it has purchased or renewed under this section, specifying the insurance carrier, date of the contract, cost of the insurance, corporate positions insured, and a statement explaining all sums, not previously reported in a statement to shareholders, paid under any indemnification insurance contract.

 

(e) This section is the public policy of this state to spread the risk of corporate management, notwithstanding any other general or special law of this state or of any other jurisdiction including the federal government.

The corporation may, by resolution of the Board of Directors, indemnify and save harmless out of the funds of the corporation to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Director, Officer, or employee of any subsidiary corporation of the corporation on the same basis and within the same constraints as described in the preceding sentence.
