3 Summary of Benefits and Risks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most of the terms used throughout this prospectus are described within the text where they first appear. This prospectus contains information about the material rights and features of the variable life policy that you should understand before investing. This summary describes the basic benefits and risks of the policy. Summary of Policy Benefits Death Benefits This policy is a flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy. The policy is first and foremost, a life insurance policy. While the policy remains in force we will pay a death benefit to your named beneficiary when the person insured under the policy dies. You have a choice of two death benefit options with the policy: . Death Benefit Option A will equal the policy's face amount, or the minimum death benefit if greater. . Death Benefit Option B will equal the face amount plus the policy value, or the minimum death benefit if greater. The minimum death benefit is equal to the policy value on the date of death increased by a percentage taken from a table in the policy based on the attained age of the insured person at the beginning of the policy year in which death occurs. The death benefit we pay will be reduced by any unpaid policy loan amounts and, unless the No Lapse Guarantee is in effect, unpaid policy charges. Surrenders and Withdrawals While the insured is living, you may surrender the policy for its net surrender value. The net surrender value is the policy value reduced by outstanding loans and loan interest and any applicable surrender charge. Beginning in the second policy year, subject to certain limitations, you may take withdrawals from the policy. You may incur a partial surrender charge on the amount withdrawn. A withdrawal is not permitted if it would reduce the net surrender value to zero or would reduce the face amount below the minimum face amount for the policy. A withdrawal reduces the policy values, may reduce the face amount of the policy and may increase the risk that the policy will lapse. Surrenders and withdrawals may have adverse tax consequences. Loans Generally, you may borrow up to 100% of your policy value less the current surrender charge and loan interest accrued to the end of the policy year. We count any outstanding loans and loan interest toward the applicable limit. Taking a loan may have adverse tax consequences and may increase the risk that your policy will terminate. Investment Choices You may direct your premium to a wide variety of investment options available through the Separate Account, and to the Guaranteed Interest Accounts. Each investment option of the Separate Account invests directly in an underlying fund. You may generally transfer policy value among any of the Separate Account investment options and the Guaranteed Interest Accounts while continuing to defer current income taxes. Your ability to make transfers is limited by (1) our minimum transfer amount, generally $500 per transfer, (2) limitations on transfers into and from the Guaranteed Interest Accounts contained in the policy and (3) restrictions on frequent trading and market timing activity imposed by us and the underlying funds. Each of these limitations is described in this prospectus. Otherwise, the policy does not limit the right to make transfers among the Separate Account investment options. Asset Allocation and Strategic Programs You may also elect an asset allocation or strategic program through which to allocate your premiums and policy value. Participation in a program is optional. Although we may offer other programs in the future, whether those programs will be made available to both current and prospective policy owners will be determined at our sole discretion. Flexible Premiums This policy allows for flexible premiums, which means that, within limitations, you may choose the amount of premium to allocate to the policy. The only premium you must pay is the minimum initial premium. Unless your initial premium is sufficient to keep the policy in force over time, additional premium payments may be required to prevent policy lapse. The minimum premium we will accept is $25.00. Other Available Insurance Benefits The following additional coverages and features may be available to you by rider. We currently make the following optional riders available with the policy. These riders increase a policy's charges. . Alternate Surrender Value Rider . Disability Payment of Specified Premium Rider (maximum issue age is 60) . Individual Increasing Term Rider . Individual Level Term Rider We also attach the following riders to the policy at issue: . Accelerated Benefit Rider (not available in Massachusetts and Washington)-a transaction fee applies when you use this rider . Life Plan Options Rider-attached automatically at issue for policies with face amounts of $1,000,000 or more . No Lapse Guarantee Rider (maximum issue age is 70) . Overloan Protection Rider-a transaction fee applies when you use this rider The riders may involve extra cost to you as indicated in the Fee Tables in this prospectus. Your Right to Cancel the Policy You have the right to review the policy and cancel it if you are not satisfied. Simply return the policy to us at our administrative office within ten days after you receive it, or within 45 days of signing the application. Your state may require a longer period. 4 Summary of Policy Risks Suitability Risk Variable life insurance is designed for long-term financial planning, and the policy is not suitable as a short-term investment. Additionally, this policy is not suitable if you intend to utilize short-term trading strategies. Surrender charges apply during the first ten policy years and the first ten years following an increase in the policy face amount, and in the first fifteen years on supplemental death benefit coverage provided by the Individual Level Term Rider. Therefore, it may not be appropriate for you to purchase a policy if you foresee the need to withdraw all or part of your policy value during the first few policy years. Also, while the policy offers a variety of available investment options and the potential for appreciation, the policy is a life insurance contract containing policy charges and charges associated with the investment options of the Separate Account. These charges will reduce the investment performance of your policy. Replacements Replacing any existing policy with this policy may not be to your advantage. You should talk with your registered representative before you replace your variable life insurance policy. You should carefully compare the risks, charges, and benefits of your existing policy to the replacement policy to determine if replacing your existing contract benefits you. Additionally, replacing your policy could result in adverse tax consequences so you should also consult with your tax professional. You should know that once you have replaced your variable life insurance policy, you generally cannot reinstate it unless the insurer is required to reinstate the previous policy under state law. This is true even if you choose not to accept your new variable life insurance policy during your "free look" period. Conflicts of Interest Broker-dealers and registered representatives often sell products issued by several different and unaffiliated insurance companies and the amount of compensation payable may vary significantly. Additionally, compensation paid to a broker-dealer or registered representative will also vary between products issued by the same insurance company, including additional compensation payable as part of certain service arrangements. A broker-dealer and its registered representatives may have an incentive to promote or sell one product over another depending on these differences in the compensation, potentially resulting in the sale of a product that may not be the best product to suit your needs. You should talk to your registered representative if you have questions about potential conflicts of interest that may be created by varying compensation plans. You can find more information about the types of compensation arrangements we offer in the "Distribution" section of this prospectus. Tax Effects Existing tax laws that currently provide favorable treatment of life insurance death benefit proceeds and deferred taxation of any increase in policy value due to investment earnings may change at any time. Generally, under current federal income tax law, death benefits are not subject to income taxes. Earnings on the policy value invested in the Separate Account or the Guaranteed Interest Accounts are not subject to income taxes until there is a distribution from the policy. Taking a loan or a full or partial surrender from the policy could result in recognition of income for tax purposes. Additionally, certain circumstances may cause a policy to become a modified endowment contract or (MEC). Under federal tax law, loans, withdrawals and other pre-death distributions received from a MEC policy are taxed as income first and recovery of basis second. Also, distributions from a MEC policy received prior to the policyowner's attainment of age 59 1/2 are subject to a 10% penalty tax. Risk of Lapse Your policy will be at risk of terminating if the policy value less policy loans and accrued loan interest is not sufficient to cover the monthly charges due and the policy does not have a No Lapse Guarantee in effect. Your policy value will be reduced by the amount of any withdrawal, applicable withdrawal charge, loan, and loan interest due. Additionally, poor investment experience will also decrease your policy value. Therefore, these factors increase the risk that your policy will lapse, requiring you to make additional premium payments to keep the policy in force. Before your policy terminates, you will have a grace period during which we will alert you to an impending lapse and give you an opportunity to keep the policy in force by paying a specified amount. If the policy lapses, you may be given the opportunity to reinstate it by making the required premium payment and satisfying our other reinstatement requirements. Investment Risk The value of your policy will fluctuate with the performance of the Separate Account investment options you select. The investment options may decline in value and the underlying funds may not meet their stated objectives or perform to your expectations. You bear the investment risk, whether a gain or a loss, for any premium allocated to the Separate Account investment options. A comprehensive discussion of an underlying fund's risks may be found in that fund's prospectus. Transfer Risk Transfers or deposits to the Guaranteed Interest Accounts are generally limited to no more than $250,000 during any one week period. Transfers out of the Guaranteed Interest Accounts are limited to one transfer per year. The amount you may transfer out of the Guaranteed Interest Accounts is limited based on a schedule described later in the prospectus. Additionally, we reserve the right to reject or restrict transfers among investment options if we or an underlying fund determine the transfers reflect disruptive trading. Minimum balance and minimum transfer limits also apply. Early Surrender Risk This policy is designed to be held for the long-term. Surrender charges apply to surrenders, withdrawals, and face amount decreases taken in the first ten policy years, and, if you have increased the base face amount since the policy was issued, for the ten-year period following the date of any increase affected by the surrender, withdrawal, or face amount decrease. If your policy has the Individual Level Term Rider, surrender charges apply to surrenders, withdrawals, and face amount decreases made against that coverage for the first fifteen policy years. It is possible that a policy will have little or no net surrender value during the early policy years. 5 Limitations on Access to Cash Value No loans will be allowed at issue of this policy other than loans carried from another policy as part of an exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). When available, loans are subject to maximum and minimum amounts. Withdrawals from the policy are not available in the first policy year or once the insured has attained age 100. When available, withdrawals are subject to maximum and minimum amounts and we reserve the right to charge a withdrawal fee of $25.00 per withdrawal. Withdrawals may reduce the policy face amount and may be subject to a partial surrender charge. Because of these charges and restrictions, there will be less cash value available for loans and withdrawals in the policy's early years. Policy Charge Risk We have the right to increase certain policy and rider charges; however, these charges are capped at the maximums shown in the Fee Tables included in the following pages. The following tables describe the fees, and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering the policy. There are two tables describing the policy charges. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you make premium payments, surrender the policy, transfer policy value between investment options, or exercise the certain riders.

/1/ This charge is incurred only if there is a full surrender. Each of the base face amount of the policy at issue and any increase in the base face amount is considered a coverage layer. Separate surrender charges apply to each coverage layer. /2/ A surrender charge is applicable for 10 years from the policy date for the initial face amount and for 10 years from the date any additional coverage layer is added, and for 15 years from the policy date for coverage provided by the Individual Level Term Rider. This charge varies according to the gender and issue age and risk class of the insured at the time of policy issue, as well as by the death benefit option in effect at the time of issue, and decreases as the insured ages. Surrender charges on additional coverage layers will also vary based on these factors as they exist at the time the layer is added. No surrender charge is applied after the policy anniversary on and following the insured's attained age 100. 6 /3/ This charge is incurred only if there is a withdrawal or face amount decrease. To determine the charge, the full surrender charge is multiplied by the result of dividing the partial surrender amount by the net surrender value before the withdrawal or, in the case of a decrease, by the base face amount before the decrease. /4/ This charge varies based on the insured's individual characteristics. The surrender charges shown in this table may not be typical of the charges a particular policy owner will pay. Before you purchase the policy, we will provide you personalized illustrations of your future benefits under the policy based upon the age and risk class of the person you wish to insure, the death benefit option, face amount, planned premiums and riders requested. You may also call us at 1-800-417-4769 to obtain a personalized illustration. Your policy's specifications pages will show the surrender charges for your policy. /5/ This benefit is provided by rider that is automatically made a part of any policy for which the Guideline Premium Test has been elected. /6/ Partial surrenders are subject to both the Partial Surrender Charge and the Withdrawal Fee; however, we do not currently charge the Withdrawal Fee. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the policy, not including fund fees and expenses. Periodic Charges Other than Fund Operating Expenses

Currently, there are no charges for taxes; however, we reserve the right to impose a charge should we become liable for taxes in the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loan Interest Rate Charged/5/ Interest accrues daily and is due Maximum annual net cost is 1% on each policy anniversary. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/1/ Cost of insurance charges will vary according to the insured's age at issue, gender, risk class, policy year, death benefit option at issue and the ratio of policy value to death benefit. Cost of insurance charges will generally increase as the insured ages. Separate cost of insurance charges apply to each layer of coverage; the new charge for each layer is based on the insured's attained age, gender, death benefit option at the time of increase and risk class at the time the layer is added. This table shows cost of insurance rates for standard risks. Additional charges, if any, may be assessed for risks associated with certain health conditions, occupations or avocations. /2/ This charge varies based on the insured's individual characteristics. The cost of insurance and coverage charges shown in this table may not be typical of the charges a particular policy owner will pay. Before you purchase the policy, we will provide you personalized illustrations of your future benefits under the policy based upon the age and risk class of the person you wish to insure, the death benefit option, face amount, planned premiums and riders requested. You may also call us at 1-800-417-4769 to obtain a personalized illustration. Your policy's specifications pages will show the cost of insurance and coverage charges for your policy. /3/ The amount at risk at any given time is the difference between the total death benefit we would pay and the policy value. /4/ The coverage charge varies based on the insured's age, gender, death benefit option and risk classification at issue. A separate coverage charge will apply to each coverage layer and will be based on the insured's attained age, gender, risk classification and death benefit option at the time the layer is added. /5/ The maximum net cost to the policy is the difference between the rate we charge for the outstanding loan, and the rate we credit the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account, where we allocate policy value equal to the amount of the loan, as collateral. /6/ This charge does not apply beginning on the policy anniversary on which the insured's attained age reaches 100. * The monthly calculation day is the day each month on which we assess these charges. The monthly calculation day is the same date each month beginning with the policy date. 7 This table shows the charges you will pay periodically for certain riders you elect to add to your policy. Other riders are available with this policy for which no separate rider charge is assessed but that may increase monthly cost of insurance deductions. We describe riders later under "Other Available Policy Benefits." Other Available Policy Benefits Expenses

If you would like information on the rider charges that would apply to your particular situation, you may request a personalized illustration from your financial representative or by calling us at 1-800-417-4769. /2/ The charge for this rider also varies based on the specified benefit amount. /3/ The amount at risk at any given time is the difference between the total death benefit we would pay and the policy value. * The monthly calculation day is the day each month on which we assess these charges. The monthly calculation day is the same date each month beginning with the policy date. 8 The table below shows the minimum and maximum fees and expenses as a percentage of daily net assets, for the year ended December 31, 2007, charged by the funds that you may pay indirectly during the time that you own the contract. More detail concerning each of the fund's fees and expenses is contained in the prospectus for each fund. Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses are deducted from a fund's assets and include management fees, distribution fees, distribution and/or 12b-1 fees, and other expenses.

/1/ Phoenix Variable Advisors, Inc, advisor to the Phoenix Edge Series Fund, and other advisors and/or other service providers to the funds have contractually agreed to reduce the management fees or reimburse certain fees and expenses for certain funds. The Gross Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the first row of the table do not reflect the effect of any fee reductions or reimbursements. The Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the second row reflect the effect of fee reductions and waiver arrangements that are contractually in effect at least through April 30, 2009. There can be no assurance that any contractual arrangement will extend beyond its current terms and you should know that these arrangements may exclude certain extraordinary expenses. See each fund's prospectus for details about the annual operating expenses of that fund and any waiver or reimbursement arrangements that may be in effect. 9 Description of PHL Variable Insurance Company -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this prospectus, the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refers to PHL Variable Insurance Company. PHL Variable sells variable life insurance and annuity products to individual and institutional customers. PHL Variable is organized as a Connecticut stock company. Our executive and administrative office is at One American Row, Hartford, CT 06103-2899. PHL Variable is obligated to pay all amounts contractually owed under the policies. Description of PHLVIC Variable Universal Life Account -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHL Variable established the PHLVIC Variable Universal Life Account ("Separate Account") as a separate account under Connecticut insurance law on September 10, 1998. The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The SEC does not supervise the management, investment practices or policies of the Separate Account or of the Company. The Separate Account purchases shares in mutual funds called "underlying funds." The Separate Account is divided into sections called "investment options." There is a corresponding investment option for each underlying fund in which the Separate Account invests. You do not invest directly in the underlying funds. Instead, the policy value you allocate to the Separate Account purchases "units" of the Separate Account. The units are allocated to the investment options of your choice. Each time you buy units of the Separate Account, the Separate Account purchases shares of the corresponding underlying fund. The value of your units will vary. Please refer to "Policy Values" for more details on unit values and to "the Underlying Funds" for more information about the funds. PHL Variable does not guarantee the investment performance of the Separate Account or any of its investment options. The policy value allocated to the Separate Account depends on the investment performance of the underlying funds. As policy owner, you bear the full investment risk for all monies invested in the Separate Account. All income, gains or losses, credited to or charged against the Separate Account reflect the Separate Account's own investment experience and not the investment experience of PHL Variable's other assets. The assets of the Separate Account may not be used to pay liabilities of PHL Variable other than those arising from the variable life insurance policies issued by the Separate Account. We reserve the right to add, remove, modify, or substitute underlying funds in which the Separate Account invests. Your registered representative should provide you with a copy of this prospectus at the time you apply for a policy. You may obtain a copy of the underlying fund prospectuses by calling the VULA. Additionally, we will provide a copy of these prospectuses when you have purchased the policy. We will mail you updated prospectuses for your policy and the underlying funds annually. Performance History We may choose to include performance history of the investment options or the underlying funds in advertisements, sales literature or reports. Performance information about each investment option is based on past performance and is not an indication of future performance. Voting Rights -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We legally own all fund shares held by the investment options; however, we vote those shares at shareholder meetings according to voting instructions we receive from policy owners with an interest in the investment options. We may decide to vote the shares in our own right should the law change to permit us to do so. While your policy is in effect, you may provide us with voting instructions for each investment option in which you have an interest. We determine the number of votes you may cast by applying your percentage interest in an investment option to the total number of votes attributable to the investment option. We will send you or, if permitted by law, make available electronically, proxy material, reports and other materials relevant to the investment options in which you have a voting interest. In order to vote you must complete the proxy form and return it with your voting instructions. You may also be able to vote your interest by telephone or over the Internet if such instructions are included in the proxy material. We will vote all of the shares we own on your behalf, in accordance with your instructions. We will vote the shares for which we do not receive instructions, and any other shares we own, in the same proportion as the shares for which we do receive instructions. This process may result in a small number of policyowners controlling the vote. We may ask you to provide voting instructions for such items as: 1)the election or removal of the fund's Trustees; 2)the ratification of the independent accountants for the fund; 3)approval or amendment of investment advisory agreements; 4)a change in fundamental policies or restrictions of the fund; and 5)any other matters requiring a shareholder vote. The Underlying Funds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each underlying fund available through the policy is a portfolio of an open-end management investment company that is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These underlying funds are not publicly traded and are offered only through variable annuity and variable life insurance products, or directly to tax qualified plans. They are not the same retail mutual funds as those offered outside of a variable annuity or variable life insurance product, or directly to tax qualified plans, although 10 the investment practices and fund names may be similar, and the portfolio managers may be identical. Accordingly, the performance of the retail mutual fund is likely to be different from that of the underlying fund, and you should not compare the two. The underlying funds offered through this product are selected by the Company based on several criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the manager's reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each sponsoring investment firm. Another factor the Company considers during the initial selection process is whether the underlying fund or an affiliate of the underlying fund will compensate the Company for providing administrative, marketing, and support services that would otherwise be provided by the underlying fund, the underlying fund's investment advisor, or its distributor. Finally, when the Company develops a variable annuity or life product in cooperation with a fund family or distributor (e.g. a "private label" product), the company will generally include underlying funds based on recommendations made by the fund family or distributor, whose selection criteria may differ from the Company's selection criteria. Each underlying fund is reviewed periodically after having been selected. Upon review, the Company may remove an underlying fund or restrict allocation of additional premium payments to an underlying fund if the Company determines the underlying fund no longer meets one or more of the criteria and/or if the underlying fund has not attracted significant policy owner assets. In addition, if any of the underlying funds become available for allocating premium payments, or if we believe that further investment in an underlying fund is inappropriate for the purposes of the policy, we may substitute shares of another underlying fund for those held by the affected investment option. However, we will not make any substitutions without notifying you and obtaining any state and SEC approval, if necessary. From time to time we may make new investment options available. Each underlying fund and the associated investment option of the Separate Account is subject to market fluctuations and has varying degrees of risk and there can be no assurance that any investment option or underlying fund will achieve its stated investment objective. You will find detailed information about the underlying funds and their inherent risks in their current prospectuses. Copies of the fund prospectuses may be obtained by contacting us at the address or telephone number provided on the first page of this prospectus. You should read these prospectuses carefully. For additional information concerning the available investment options, please see Appendix A. Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees The Company and the principal underwriter for the policies have entered into agreements with the investment adviser, subadviser, distributor, and/or affiliated companies of most of the underlying funds under which the Company and the principal underwriter for the policies receive payments. We have also entered into agreements with the Phoenix Edge Series Fund and its advisor, Phoenix Variable Advisors, Inc., with whom we are affiliated. These agreements compensate the Company and the principal underwriter for the policies for providing certain administrative, marketing, or other support services to the underlying funds. Proceeds of these payments may be used for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses that the Company and the principal underwriter for the policies incur in promoting, issuing, distributing and administering the policies. As stated previously, such payments are a factor in choosing which funds to offer in the Company's variable products. These payments may be significant and the Company and its affiliates may profit from them. The payments are generally based on a percentage of the average assets of each underlying fund allocated to the investment options under the policy or other policies offered by the Company. The amount of the fee that an underlying fund and its affiliates pay the Company and/or the Company's affiliates is negotiated and varies with each underlying fund. Aggregate fees relating to the different underlying funds may be as much as 0.40% of the average net assets of an underlying fund attributable to the relevant policies. A portion of these payments may come from revenue derived from the Distribution and/or Service Fees (12b-1 fees) that are paid by an underlying fund out of its assets as part of its Total Annual Operating Expenses, and is not paid directly from the assets of your variable insurance policy. The Guaranteed Interest Accounts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to the Separate Account, you may allocate premiums or transfer values to the Guaranteed Interest Account or Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account (collectively, the Guaranteed Interest Accounts). Amounts you allocate to any of the Guaranteed Interest Accounts are deposited in our general account. You do not share in the investment experience of our general account. Rather, we guarantee a minimum rate of return on the allocated amounts. Although we are not obligated to credit interest at a higher rate than the minimum, we may credit any excess interest as determined by us based on expected investment yield information. The Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account has more restrictive transfer options out of the general account than the Guaranteed Interest Account so that longer term investments can be made. In general, you may make only one transfer per policy year from the Guaranteed Interest Accounts. Additionally, we may impose limitations on the amounts of premium or policy value that can be allocated to or transferred into or out of the Guaranteed Interest Accounts. These limitations are described below. Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, we have not registered interests in our general account under the Securities Act of 1933. Also, we have not registered our general account as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Therefore, neither the general account nor any of its interests are subject to these Acts, and the SEC has not reviewed the general account disclosures. These disclosures may, however, be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities law regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made in this prospectus. 11 The features specific to each type of Guaranteed Interest Account are detailed below. Guaranteed Interest Account We reserve the right to limit transfers to the Guaranteed Interest Account to no more than $250,000 during any one-week period per policy. Except for transfers resulting from the Systematic Income Program described later in this prospectus, the amount that can be transferred out is limited to the greater of $1,000 or 25% of the policy value in the non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account as of the date of the transfer. You may transfer the total non-loaned policy value out of the Guaranteed Interest Account to one or more of the investment options over a consecutive 4-year period according to the following schedule: .First Year: 25% of the total value .Second Year: 33% of remaining value .Third Year: 50% of remaining value .Fourth Year: 100% of remaining value
Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account The amount that can be transferred out is limited to the greatest of (a) $1,000, (b) 10% of the policy value in the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account as of the date of the transfer, or (c) the amount of policy value transferred out of the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account in the prior policy year. Transfers from the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account are not permitted under the Systematic Transfer Programs. We reserve the right to limit transfers and cumulative premium payments to the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account to $1,000,000 over a 12-month period. The Policy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This prospectus describes a flexible premium variable universal life policy insuring the life of a single person. The policy has a death benefit, net surrender value, and a loan privilege, as does a traditional fixed benefit whole life policy. However, you may allocate your premium into one or more investment options of the Separate Account or the Guaranteed Interest Accounts. Each investment option of the Separate Account, in turn, invests its assets exclusively in an underlying fund. Accordingly, the policy value varies according to the investment performance of the funds to which net premiums have been allocated. Generally, the policy allows you to change the death benefit coverage by increases or decreases to the face amount and through optional riders. The policy also provides a No Lapse Guarantee benefit through a rider that is attached to the policy automatically at issue. This benefit guarantees that the policy will not lapse as a result of inadequate cash value if your policy meets certain criteria. These and other policy features are described later in this prospectus. You may contact us about the policy through our VPMO or VULA as listed on the first page of this prospectus. We will process your premiums and policy requests when we receive them in good order. "Good order" means that we have received all necessary documents and properly completed forms at the designated office. Contract Rights: Owner, Insured, Beneficiary, Assignment Owner The owner is the person named in the application for the policy or, if the ownership of the policy has changed, the person we have listed as the owner in our records. The owner will generally make the choices that determine how the policy operates while it is in force. When we use the terms "you" or "your" in this prospectus, we are referring to the owner or, if the policy was issued as a group contract, we are referring to the certificate holder. If, during the existence of the policy, a third party offers you consideration to transfer ownership of your policy or any interest in your policy, including by means of a collateral or absolute assignment to such third party, we, or one of our affiliates, will have the right to offer compensation for your policy before we process the transfer in ownership. Insured The insured is the person on whose life the policy is issued. You name this person in the application for the policy. A policy may be issued to insureds ages 18 through 85 for most underwriting classes. We will require that you provide evidence that the person to be insured is, in fact, insurable. Beneficiary The beneficiary is the person you name in the application to receive any death benefit. You may name different classes of beneficiaries, such as primary and contingent. These classes will set the order of payment. Unless an irrevocable beneficiary has been named, you can change the beneficiary at any time before the insured dies by sending a written request to VPMO. Generally, the change will take effect as of the date your request is signed. If no beneficiary is living when the person insured dies, we will pay you the death benefit, unless you have given us other instructions; or, if you are no longer living, we will pay the death benefit to your estate. Assignment You may assign the policy. We will not be bound by such assignment until we receive a written copy of the assignment at VPMO, nor will we be liable for any payment we make before then. We assume no responsibility for determining whether an assignment is valid. Purchasing a Policy and Your Right to Cancel You may purchase a policy on the life of any person as long as you are at least 18 years old, and have an insurable interest in the life of the person to be insured. You must also have the consent of the person to be insured. We may decline to issue you a policy if the insured does not meet our underwriting standards. How to Purchase a Policy To purchase a policy, you must complete an application with your registered representative. The person to be insured may be required to undergo a medical examination. We base our insurance risk rates on the person's gender, attained age, death 12 benefit option and risk class. We may require certain medical information in order to determine the risk class of the person to be insured. We are not permitted to consider gender as a factor in some states and under certain qualified plans. We may decline to issue a policy if the insured does not meet our underwriting standards. The minimum initial premium is due no later than the policy date. The policy date is the date shown on the specifications pages and is the date from which policy years and policy anniversaries are measured. Each 12-month period following the policy date is a policy year and each anniversary of the policy date is a policy anniversary. If you submit the initial premium before the policy date, we will consider the payment not in good order and will deposit it to a non-interest bearing account. If we decline coverage, we will refund your initial premium payment. If we approve you for coverage, we will apply the initial premium payment, less the premium expense charge to the policy, as described under "Processing Premium Payments" below and in accordance with the Right to Return provision in the policy. We will determine the minimum initial premium based on the selected face amount for the policy, including amounts provided by rider, the death benefit selected at issue and the insured's rating characteristics. The minimum initial premium will be shown on the policy's specifications page. The insured person must be alive when the initial premium is paid. You must deliver the initial premium to your registered representative, who will forward it to our underwriting department. If, for any reason, your initial net premium payment is insufficient, we will not consider the premium payment to be in good order until we receive the balance due. If we receive your initial premium after the policy date, and monthly charges are due for the policy, we will deduct the premium expense charge and any monthly charges due before applying the payment to the policy. Your Right to Cancel State law provides a policy owner with a right to return and cancel the policy for a limited period, generally 10 days, following receipt of the policy. Should you elect to return your policy under your right to cancel, we will treat your policy as if we had never issued it. The amount of premium refund you will receive depends on the law of the policy's issue state. Depending on the law of the issue state, the refund will equal either: . the policy's value on the date of cancellation; or . premium paid less certain amounts deducted from the policy. For states that require the refund of policy value, we will return the sum of the following as of the date we receive the returned policy: . the current policy value less any debt; plus . any monthly deductions and other charges made under the policy. For policies issued in states that require the full premium, less any amount surrendered or withdrawn to be refunded upon cancellation during the right to cancel period ("return of premium states"), and policies issued in certain states pursuant to applications which indicate that the policy is intended to replace existing insurance, we temporarily allocate the entire issue premium paid less applicable charges (along with any other premiums paid during your right to cancel period) to the money market investment option of the Separate Account. At the expiration of the right to cancel period, the policy value of the money market investment option is allocated among the investment options of the Separate Account and to the Guaranteed Interest Accounts in accordance with your premium allocation instructions in effect. The amount returned upon policy cancellation for a policy issued in a return of premium state will equal any premiums paid less any debt and less any partial surrender amounts paid. Premium Payments and Allocation of Premium -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Premium Flexibility Other than payment of the minimum initial premium, there is no minimum premium required for this policy; however, you must maintain policy value sufficient to pay the charges due on each monthly calculation day in order to keep the policy in force. Payment of premiums will not guarantee that the policy will remain in force. Conversely, failure to pay premiums will not necessarily cause the policy to lapse. The policy will be issued with a No Lapse Guarantee benefit. This benefit will prevent the policy from lapsing for insufficient policy value if certain criteria are met. This benefit is described in the "No Lapse Guarantee" benefit section of this prospectus. Subject to the maximum limitations on premiums described below, you may pay additional premium to your policy at any time before the policy anniversary following the insured's 100/th/ birthday. The minimum premium payment we will accept is $25.00, except when a policy is in its grace period. In that case, the minimum premium we will accept is the amount necessary to prevent the policy from terminating. To pay premiums by check or money order, the amount must be drawn against a U.S. bank and be made in U.S. dollars. We will not accept any starter or third party check unless it meets our administrative requirements. Amounts you pay us by check may not be available for surrender, withdrawal or loan until the check clears the banking system. Ways to Pay Premium You may make subsequent premium payments by establishing a planned premium schedule for your policy, participating in our automated payment service, or making unplanned premium payments. You may establish a planned premium schedule for your policy at the time of application or after issue. At the time of application, you may select (within limits) the planned premium amount for your policy and the frequency with which we will send you premium notices. We currently provide billing at annual, 13 semi-annual, and quarterly intervals. You should note that we do not provide bills for fractional periods. As a result, you may wish to consult your registered representative or the VULA to consider the effect of a change to the planned premium arrangement for your policy. You may participate in our automated payment service. Under this service you may elect to pay subsequent premiums payments by pre-authorized check. Under this service, we automatically deduct premium payments each month from a bank account you designate. We will not send a bill for these automatic payments. Withdrawals from your bank account will be made on the 15th of each month. You may commence the pre-authorized check service at any time, unless your policy has entered its grace period. You can discontinue the automated payment service by contacting our VPMO. We must receive notification of account changes at our VPMO at least 30 days before the next draft date. Upon termination of this service, we will establish your policy on regular billing at the most frequent modal premium available under your policy. We may automatically switch you to quarterly billing if we are unable to obtain the premium payment from your bank account. We may discontinue this service with 30 days written notice to you. You may also make unplanned premium payments by contacting the VULA for the appropriate check processing address. Processing Premium Payments When we receive your premium payment in good order, we reduce the payment amount by the premium expense charge shown in the fee table. Generally, the resulting amount, also known as the net premium, is then applied to your policy according to your premium allocation instructions as of the valuation date on which we received the premium. A "valuation date" is any day on which the net asset value of the units of each investment option of the Separate Account are determined. Generally, this will be any date on which the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), or its successor, is open for regular trading. Our valuation date ends when the NYSE closes. This is usually at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Valuation dates do not include days when the NYSE is closed, which generally includes weekends and major U.S. holidays. If we receive your premium payment in good order after the close of a valuation day or on a non-valuation day, we will apply it according to the rules below on the next valuation day. As noted above, for policies issued in return of premium states, initial net premium is allocated to the money market investment option of the Separate Account. You may change your premium allocation instructions at any time by submitting a new premium allocation form to the VPMO, or by contacting us at the phone number shown on the first page of this prospectus. Except for premiums that may cause a policy to become a modified endowment contract (MEC), premiums submitted after the effective date of a premium allocation change will be allocated in accordance with your premium allocation instructions we then have on file. Premium payments received during a grace period, after deduction of the premium expense charge, will first be used to cover any monthly deductions due during the grace period. Any remaining balance will be applied to the investment options of the Separate Account and to the Guaranteed Interest Accounts in accordance with your then current premium allocation instructions. We may delay the application of a subsequent premium payment if applying it would cause the policy to become a MEC. Generally, we will apply the portion of the subsequent premium payment that will not cause the policy to become a MEC and we will refund the balance to you. However, if we receive a subsequent premium payment that will cause the policy to become a MEC within 20 days prior to the policy anniversary date, we will hold the portion of the subsequent premium payment that would cause MEC status. We will apply the remaining portion on the policy anniversary date when it can be applied without creating a MEC. If it is your intention to create a MEC or if you would like the portion of the premium payment that will create a MEC returned to you, you must notify us in writing within thirty days of the policy anniversary date. If you intend to create a MEC, you will be required to sign a form acknowledging that you understand the tax consequences of MEC status. For policies in which a material change impacting the 7-pay limit or 7-pay period occurred, if the material change caused the start of the 7-pay year to no longer coincide with the policy anniversary, the procedure described above for holding payments may not apply. Generally speaking, the 7-pay limit and 7-pay period are measures of the amount of premium that can be paid into a life insurance contract without causing the contract to become a MEC under federal tax law. For additional information about the 7-pay test, see the "Modified Endowments Contracts" section of this prospectus. Premium Limitations We establish maximum premiums and may change them at any time. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) has limits on the amount of money you may put into a life insurance contract and still meet the definition of life insurance for tax purposes. There are two tests used to determine if a policy meets IRC rules, the Cash Value Accumulation Test, and the Guideline Premium Test. The test that applies to a policy is shown in the policy's specifications pages. Your election to follow one of the two tests cannot be changed after issue. More discussion of these tax law requirements is provided under "Tax Considerations." We reserve the right to refuse any premium payments that would cause the policy to fail the test you elected unless such amount is necessary to keep the policy in force. If the total premium limit is exceeded, the policy owner will receive the excess, with interest at an annual rate of not less than 4%, not later than 60 days after the end of the policy year in which the limit was exceeded. The policy value will then be adjusted to reflect the refund. If the policy's death benefit requires adjustment as a result of this premium refund, we will make this adjustment effective the date the premium is removed from the policy. We will refund the premium from the Separate Account investment options and the Guaranteed Interest Accounts on a pro rata basis according to 14 your then current allocation instructions unless you request otherwise in writing. Policy Values -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How the Value of Your Policy is Calculated Your policy value is the sum of the policy's values in the investment options of the Separate Account, and the values in the Guaranteed Interest Accounts. We will calculate your policy value on each valuation date. If we receive your premium payment or transaction request in good order prior to the close of the valuation date, we will process that premium or transaction using the unit values determined following the close of the NYSE for that day. If we receive your premium or transaction request after the close of the valuation date, we will process that premium or transaction using the unit values calculated for the next valuation date. If a scheduled transaction falls on a non-valuation date, we will process it as of the next valuation date. Separate Account Policy Value On each valuation date, the Separate Account policy value is the total of your policy values in each investment option of the Separate Account. When you make a premium payment, and have amounts allocated to the investment options of the Separate Account, we credit your policy with accumulation units. Your net premium purchases units of each Separate Account investment option to which you have allocated premium. We determine the number of accumulation units to credit to each Separate Account investment option by dividing the amount of the net premium payment by the unit value of that Separate Account investment option. The value of a unit of the Separate Account investment options varies from valuation date to valuation date. Changes in the accumulation unit value reflect the investment performance of the underlying fund and the fund's fees and expenses. On each monthly calculation day, we deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Separate Account policy value. Policy transactions that involve amounts allocated to the Separate Account investment options, including loans, withdrawals, and transfers are effected by purchasing and selling the units of the investment options. Guaranteed Interest Accounts Policy Value If you allocate premium or transfer money to the Guaranteed Interest Accounts, your policy value includes the value of those amounts. The amount you allocate or transfer to the Guaranteed Interest Accounts will earn interest at the rates we declare from time to time. We guarantee that the rates will not be less than 3.00% on an annual basis. You may determine the current crediting rates for the Guaranteed Interest Accounts by contacting the VULA at the number shown on the first page of this prospectus. Your policy value in the Guaranteed Interest Accounts is not subject to the mortality and expense risk charge. Otherwise, all policy charges apply to this portion of the policy value. Policy Face Amount and Death Benefit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The policy provides for a base face amount, which is the face amount you select in your policy application and any increases to that face amount, and additional face amount coverage available through the Individual Level Term Rider and the Individual Increasing Term Rider. Face amount coverage provided by these riders is considered supplemental face amount coverage. The policy's total face amount is the sum of the base face amount and the supplemental face amount. You should know that for the same premiums paid, the coverage charge deducted from the policy value and the amount of compensation paid to the selling registered representative will generally be less for coverage provided under the Individual Level Term Rider or the Individual Increasing Term Rider rather than for coverage provided by base face amount. These riders have their own costs, and the Individual Increasing Term Rider has a fifteen-year surrender charge period, which is longer than the ten-year surrender charge period that applies to the base face amount. Death Benefit Options and Minimum Death Benefit The policy provides a choice of two death benefit options. 1.Death Benefit Option A will pay the policy's total face amount, but not less than the minimum death benefit on the date of the insured person's death. 2.Death Benefit Option B will pay the policy's total face amount plus the policy value but not less than the minimum death benefit on the date of the insured person's death. Death Benefit Option B is a variable death benefit. Because this death benefit option includes policy value, it will vary from day to day due to the performance of the investment options in which you have policy value. If you select the Individual Increasing Term Rider, only Death Benefit Option A will be available for your policy. On the policy anniversary following the insured's 100/th/ birthday, we will change the Death Benefit Option to option A and the amount payable under this option will be the greater of the policy's total face amount or the policy value on the insured's date of death. We will determine the minimum death benefit by increasing the policy value on the date of death using the applicable percentage as shown by a table in your policy. The applicable percentage will be based on the insured person's attained age at the beginning of the policy year in which death occurs. Changing the Death Benefit Option Beginning in the second policy year, you may change the Death Benefit Option once per policy year prior to the policy anniversary following the insured's 100/th/ birthday. We will not require evidence of insurability for a change in Death Benefit Option. A change in Death Benefit Option will become effective on the monthly calculation day on or next following the date we approve your written request for the change. Changing from Death Benefit Option A to Death Benefit Option B, decreases the face amount of the policy by the policy value as of the effective date of the option change. Changing from option A to option B will terminate the Individual Increasing Term Rider. 15 Changing from Death Benefit Option B to Death Benefit Option A increases the face amount of the policy by the amount of policy value as of the effective date of the option change. If the policy includes the Individual Level Term Rider, the amount of the rider coverage is increased to provide the increased face amount. Otherwise, the face amount of the base policy is increased. Additional cost of insurance charges apply to the increased face amount. Changing death benefit options will not change the surrender charges for the policy. Changing the Policy Face Amount Requests for Decrease in Face Amount You may request a decrease in face amount at any time after the first policy year. Unless we agree otherwise, the decrease must be at least $25,000 and the base face amount remaining after the decrease must be at least $100,000. Decreases will be applied first to reduce coverage under the Individual Increasing Term Rider, if in effect for the policy. Next, any coverage provided by the Individual Level Term Rider will be reduced. Finally, any remaining decrease will be applied to the base face amount. Once a decrease is requested for a policy with the Individual Increasing Term Rider, no further increases will be provided under this rider. All face amount decrease requests must submitted on our form to the VPMO. Face amount decreases will be effective on the first monthly calculation day following the date we approve the request. A partial surrender charge will be deducted from the policy value based on the amount of the decrease. The partial surrender charge on the base face amount will be a portion of the surrender charge that would apply to a full surrender at the time of the decrease. This portion is determined by multiplying the full surrender charge by the result of (a) divided by (b) where (a) is the amount of the base face amount decrease and (b) is the base face amount before the decrease. If the face amount decrease results in a decrease to coverage provided under the Individual Level Term Rider a separate partial surrender charge will apply to the amount of the decrease to that coverage. This partial surrender will be a pro rata portion of the charge that would apply to a full surrender of the coverage provided by the Individual Level Term Rider at the time of the decrease. The pro rata portion is determined by multiplying the surrender charge that would apply to a full surrender of the term rider coverage by the result of (a) divided by (b) where (a) is the amount of the decrease in the Individual Level Term Rider coverage and (b) is the amount of the Individual Level Term Rider coverage before the decrease. Generally, there will be a pro-rata reduction of the cost of insurance and coverage charges as a result of a face amount decrease. Requests for Increase in Face Amount You may request an increase to the base face amount following the third policy anniversary. An approved increase will be effective on the first policy anniversary after we approve the request. The minimum face amount increase is $25,000 per increase. The amount of each increase will be considered a new coverage layer. Each coverage layer will have its own 10-year surrender charge, 10-year coverage charge and current cost of insurance charge. These charges will be based on the insured's gender, attained age, and risk class at the time the layer is added, as well as on the death benefit option in effect at the time the layer is added. All face amount increase requests must be submitted on our form to the VPMO and will be subject to evidence of the insured's insurability according to our then current guidelines. We reserve the right to limit increases in face amount. Effect of Loans, Withdrawals and Requested Decreases in Face Amount on Death Benefit Loans can reduce the policy's death benefit. We deduct the amount of any outstanding loans plus any accrued loan interest from your policy value before we calculate the death benefit. A withdrawal or a requested decrease to face amount generally decreases the death benefit. A requested decrease in face amount reduces the death benefit on the next monthly calculation day by the requested amount of the decrease. A decrease in the death benefit may have tax consequences. Payment of Death Benefit Upon our receipt of due proof of death of the insured while the policy was in force, we will make the death benefit payment based on the death benefit option then in effect. We will process death benefits at values next computed after we receive the due proof of death, provided this documentation is in good order. Payment of death proceeds usually will be made in one lump sum within seven days, unless another mode of payment has been agreed upon by you and us. You should know that we offer the Phoenix Concierge Account ("PCA") as the default method of payment for all death claims greater or equal to $5,000 when the beneficiary is an individual, trust or estate. The PCA is generally not offered to corporations or similar entities. The PCA is an interest bearing checking account that is made available to beneficiaries in lieu of a single check. A beneficiary may opt out of the PCA and may elect one of the payment options described below, or another option we are then offering for this policy before payment of the death proceeds. The PCA is not insured by the FDIC, NSUSIF, or any other state or federal agency which insures deposits. The guarantee of principal is based on the claims-paying ability of the company. Payment of the death proceeds, however, may be delayed if the claim for payment of the death proceeds needs to be investigated; e.g., to ensure payment of the proper amount to the proper payee. Any such delay will not be beyond that reasonably necessary and consistent with insurance practices customary in the life insurance industry. Also, payment may be delayed if allowed or required by law as described in "Postponement of Payments." Limitations on Payment of the Death Benefit The death benefit may be limited if the insured person commits suicide within certain time periods specified by state law, generally two years of the date that the policy is issued or coverage is increased. 16 Also, if the insured's age or gender was misstated in the policy application we will adjust the amount of any death benefit as described in the policy. Upon adjustment the death benefit will be the amount provided by the most recent monthly insurance charges using the insured's correct age and gender. If the policy was in the grace period on the date of the insured's death, the death proceeds will be reduced by any outstanding monthly charges, unless a No Lapse Guarantee benefit was in effect for the policy. Surrenders and Withdrawals -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surrenders You may surrender the policy for its net surrender value at any time as long as insured person is living and the policy is in force. A policy's net surrender value is the policy value less any applicable surrender charge and less any unpaid policy loans and interest. The amount available for surrender will be the net surrender value at the end of the valuation date on which we receive the policy and the written surrender request in a form satisfactory to us at VPMO. Withdrawals Beginning in the second policy year, you may receive a part of the policy's net surrender value by submitting a written request for a withdrawal to VPMO. You may request one withdrawal per policy month. We do not permit withdrawals of less than $500 (if required by your state, a lower minimum will be shown on the policy's specifications pages), if the resulting death benefit would be less than the policy's minimum face amount as shown on the specifications pages for the policy, or if the withdrawal would reduce the net surrender value to zero. We may require you to withdraw the entire value allocated to an investment option if the withdrawal would result in a value below $500 in that investment option. You may choose in what proportions we deduct the following amounts from among your investment options. If you do not choose, we will make the deductions in the same manner as for monthly deductions. A withdrawal will reduce your policy value by the sum of the: . Withdrawal Amount - the portion of the net surrender value you choose, but not less than $500; plus . Withdrawal Fee - currently set at $0 (not to exceed $25); plus . Pro rated Surrender Charge. We deduct a pro rata portion of the surrender charge that would apply to a full surrender. The pro rata portion equals the full surrender charge multiplied by the result of (a) divided by (b) where (a) equals the withdrawal amount and (b) equals the net surrender value. We will reduce your policy's net surrender value by the withdrawal amount. Additionally, if your policy has Death Benefit Option A, we will reduce your policy's face amount by the amount of the withdrawal. The reduction in face amount will be made in the same order as described above for requested decreases in face amount. Processing and Payment of Surrenders, Withdrawals A surrender or withdrawal will be effective on the valuation date we receive your written request at the VPMO in good order or, if we receive your request after the end of a valuation date or on a non-valuation date, on the next following valuation date. We generally pay surrendered and withdrawn amounts within seven days of receiving your request in good order. We may postpone payment of amounts surrendered, withdrawn or loaned under certain circumstances as described in the section of this prospectus entitled "Postponement of Payments." Policy Loans -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As discussed below, you may borrow up to a specified amount of your policy value less the current surrender charge and loan interest accrued to the end of the policy year. We will count any outstanding loan toward the applicable limit. We generally do not allow loans under $500. You may transfer a policy loan from another life insurance policy to this policy as part of an exchange under Section 1035 of the IRC. These amounts are called preferred loans. If you requested a preferred loan at issue, the maximum preferred loan value is the lesser of the actual loan requested to be carried over from the previously issued policy, and 75% of the proceeds exchanged from the previously issued policy. Once you take a preferred loan at issue, you may not take subsequent preferred loans from the policy. For all loans other than preferred loans, the maximum loan amount will be 100% of the net surrender value. When you take a loan, we will take an amount equal to the loan from your investment options as collateral and deposit it to the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account. You may instruct us how to withdraw policy value from the Separate Account investment options and the Guaranteed Interest Accounts for deposit to the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account. If you do not instruct us, we will make the withdrawal in the same manner as monthly deductions. The rate of interest we charge on policy loans depends on the type of policy loan and the policy year in which the loan is taken. The maximum loan interest rates are shown in the "Charges and Deductions" section of this prospectus. Loan interest accrues daily from the date of the loan and is payable in arrears. At the end of each policy year, all interest due will be treated as a new loan and we will transfer the amount of any unpaid loan interest from your Separate Account investment options, the non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account or Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account to the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account. We credit the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account with interest at an effective annual rate of 3%, compounded daily and payable in arrears. At the end of each policy year, or when you repay a loan, the interest credited to the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account will be transferred to the non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account. You may repay a loan at any time the policy is in force. Unless you designate a policy payment as a loan repayment, we will 17 apply the payment as premium. We apply loan repayments first to pay any outstanding loan interest on regular loans and then on preferred loans. We then apply any remaining amount to reduce the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account first for all regular loans and then for any preferred loans, and correspondingly increase the non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account. If you make a loan repayment that exceeds the remaining loan interest and loan balance, we will apply the excess among the investment options according to your most recent premium allocation schedule on file. We will use any loan repayment we receive during a grace period first to pay any overdue monthly deductions. We will then apply any remaining balance to reduce loan interest and any loans. Failure to repay a policy loan or to pay loan interest will not terminate the policy unless your policy's net surrender value is not sufficient to pay monthly charges that come due and the policy does not have a No Lapse Guarantee period in effect. Outstanding loans can also reduce your policy's death benefit and surrender value. We deduct the amount of any outstanding loans plus any accrued loan interest from your death benefit and surrender value. The proceeds of policy loans may be subject to federal income tax under some circumstances. If a policy owner requests a decrease in face amount and, following the decrease the policy becomes a modified endowment contract (MEC), any loan on the policy must be treated as a taxable distribution to the owner to the extent of gain in the policy. A policy loan will have a permanent effect on the policy value because the investment results of the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account will differ from the investment results of the Separate Account investment options, the non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account. The effect could be favorable or unfavorable. Since taking a policy loan may negatively impact policy value, it may increase the risk that your policy will terminate. The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect is likely to be. Additionally, the favorable or unfavorable effect of a policy loan on policy value may be greater for policies with Death Benefit Option B since the death benefit amount for that option includes the amount of policy value. Overloan Protection Option We provide this option by rider attached to the policy automatically when the policy is issued. There is no periodic charge for this option; however, as described below, a charge applies when you exercise the option. This option is designed to prevent a heavily loaned policy from lapsing. You may exercise this option when you make a written request and satisfy the following conditions. . The policy has been in force for at least 15 years; . The insured is at least 65 years old; . All premiums paid have been withdrawn by policy withdrawals; and . The loan balance is equal to 96% of the policy value (any loan in excess of this amount must be repaid at the time you request to exercise this option). When you elect this option, the following actions will occur on the next monthly calculation day. . Optional riders in effect, if any, will terminate; . We will deduct a one-time transaction charge of 3.5% of the policy value; . The death benefit option will permanently change to Death Benefit Option A; . The face amount will be reduced to the policy value multiplied by 101%; . The remaining policy value will be transferred to the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account. No transfer charge will be assessed for this transfer. No further transfers will be allowed; . The death benefit will be the greater of: . the new total face amount, or . the greater of the policy value or the loan multiplied by the applicable minimum death benefit percentage. After this option is exercised, monthly charges will no longer be assessed. Loan interest will continue to accrue but the loan interest rate charged will be equal to the interest rate credited on policy loans. No additional premium payments will be accepted. No additional partial surrenders, policy loans or loan repayments will be allowed. Any loan balance and accrued interest will reduce the death benefit payable and the loan interest will continue to accrue. Exercise of this option may result in income tax liability. Systematic Income Program Systematic Income is a predetermined series of periodic withdrawals and loans. You may initiate or terminate these periodic withdrawals and loans by completing the appropriate form and returning it to our VPMO. Typically, the payments under Systematic Income will be withdrawals until the total premiums paid into the policy are exhausted, and then the payments will be loans. The minimum amount available for withdrawals and loans under our rules is $500, subject to state variation. However, we reserve the right to waive this minimum. Additionally, the restrictions on withdrawals from the Guaranteed Interest Accounts are waived for Systematic Income payments. You may contact the VULA for more detailed information about Systematic Income. Transfer of Policy Value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet, Interactive Voice Response and Telephone Transfers You may transfer your policy value among the available investment options and make changes to your premium allocation by Internet, Interactive Voice Response ("IVR") or telephone. You may also write to VPMO or call VULA between the hours of 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM, Eastern Time. (The appropriate 18 address and telephone number are on the front page.) The Company may discontinue any of these options and may provide other options at any time. We will execute transfer requests as of the valuation date we receive them in good order. We do not charge for transfers at this time. However, we reserve the right to charge a fee of $25 for each transfer after your first twelve transfers in a policy year. Should we begin imposing this charge, we would not count transfers made under a Systematic Transfer Program toward the twelve-transfer limit. For more information, see "Market Timing and Other Disruptive Trading." You may permit your registered representative to submit transfer requests on your behalf. PHL Variable and Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation ("PEPCO"), our national distributor, will use reasonable procedures to confirm that transfer instructions are genuine. We require verification of account information and will record telephone instructions, which are stored digitally. You will receive written confirmation of all transfers. PHL Variable and PEPCO may be liable for following unauthorized transfer instructions if we fail to follow our established security procedures. However, you will bear the risk of a loss resulting from instructions entered by an unauthorized third party that PHL Variable and PEPCO reasonably believe to be genuine. We may modify or terminate your Internet and telephonic transfer and allocation privileges at any time. You may find it difficult to exercise these privileges during times of extreme market volatility. In such a case, you should submit your request in writing. Transfer Restrictions We may not allow transfers that result in less than $500 remaining in any investment option of the Separate Account and may require that the entire balance of an investment option or the Guaranteed Interest Accounts be transferred if the requested transfer would result in less than $500 remaining in any of these options. The Guaranteed Interest Accounts have additional transfer restrictions: . You may make only one transfer per policy year from the non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account or the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account. You may make additional transfers out of the Guaranteed Interest Account if the transfers are made as part of a Systematic Transfer Program or if we agree to make an exception to this rule. . The amount you may transfer is the greater of $1,000 or 25% of the value of the non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account. . The total non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account may be transferred over a consecutive 4-year period, as described in "The Guaranteed Interest Accounts." . For the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account, the amount you may transfer is limited to the greatest of $1,000, 10% of the value of the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account, or the amount of policy value transferred out of the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account in the prior policy year. You may transfer policy value into the Guaranteed Interest Accounts at any time. We reserve the right to limit maximum transfers into the Guaranteed Interest Accounts during any one-week period. For more information on the Guaranteed Interest Accounts, please see, "The Guaranteed Interest Accounts." Charges and Deductions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Charges affect your policy value and the amount you may receive from your policy. We make deductions to compensate us for our various expenses in selling, maintaining, underwriting and issuing the policy and guaranteeing certain insurance benefits. The policy provides for three types of charges; charges deducted from premium payments, periodic charges deducted monthly, and conditional charges that are imposed only if certain events occur. Charges Deducted from Premium Payments Premium Expense Charge We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment to the policy that we use to reimburse the Company for a variety of expenses we incur in selling the policy (e.g., commissions, advertising and printing). This charge is guaranteed not to exceed 8% per premium payment. Periodic Charges Monthly Charges We make monthly deductions on each monthly calculation day. Your policy's first monthly calculation day is the policy date. Subsequent monthly calculation days are on the same day of each calendar month. Your policy's monthly calculation day will be listed on the policy specifications page. The policy's monthly deduction amount is the sum of the following charges: cost of insurance, mortality and expense risk charge, administrative charge, coverage charge and rider charges. We do not assess monthly charges beginning on the policy anniversary on which the insured is age 100. With the exception of the monthly deduction of the mortality and expense risk charge described below, monthly charges are deducted from your policy value in the investment options within the Separate Account, the non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account on a proportionate basis unless you request that we exclude any of these in your application for the policy. Should your balance in any of the investment options become depleted, unless we agree otherwise, we will proportionally increase the deduction from your policy value in the remaining investment options. Cost of Insurance We determine this charge by multiplying the appropriate cost of insurance rate by the amount at risk. The amount at risk is the difference between your policy's death benefit and your policy value. The amount at risk depends in part on the death benefit option in effect. Since the policy value is included in the death benefit under Death Benefit Option B, the death benefit under this 19 death benefit option is affected by performance of the investment options chosen, payment of premiums and charges assessed. We base our current rates on gender, attained age, risk class, and death benefit option at issue. We also consider the duration, or how long the policy has been in force. We are not permitted to consider gender as a factor in some states and under certain qualified plans. We base the current monthly cost of insurance charge, in part, on what we expect our future mortality experiences will be. Charges will not exceed the guaranteed cost of insurance rates set forth in your policy. The guaranteed maximum rates are equal to 100% of the applicable 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary ("CSO") Mortality Table, based on the insured's last birthday. We will apply any change in our cost of insurance rates uniformly to all persons of the same gender, insurance age and risk class whose policies have been in force for the same length of time. We currently insure lives as either standard risk class or a risk class involving a higher mortality risk. We determine your risk class based on your health and the medical information you provide. Lives in the standard risk classes will have a lower cost of insurance for otherwise identical policies, than lives in the higher mortality risk classes. Nonsmokers will generally incur a lower cost of insurance than will similarly situated smokers. Additionally, the cost of insurance charge applicable to your policy depends on the total face amount, including any coverage provided by the Individual Increasing Term Rider and the Individual Level Term Rider. Policy owners who qualified for our most selective risk classifications at the time of policy issue and who have a Body Mass Index within a specified range at the end of policy years 5, 10, 15, and 20, and, in some states, at issue, may be eligible for discounted cost of insurance rates beginning at the end of policy years 5, 10, 15, and 20. Under this program, policy owners may request an improvement in risk classification for the base face amount and the Individual Level Term Rider at the end of the 5/th/ policy year, and also at the end of policy years 10, 15, and 20 if we have granted all prior improvement requests related to the policy. We will require evidence that the insured meets our underwriting requirements for an improved risk classification. If approved and the improved risk classification results in lower cost of insurance rates, these rates will be effective on the monthly calculation day following our approval of your request. We may cease to offer this program for new policies at any time. Mortality and Expense Risk Charge We assume a mortality risk that, as a whole, the people we insure may die sooner than expected. We would then pay greater total death benefits than we had expected. We assume an expense risk that expenses we incur in issuing and maintaining the policies may exceed the administrative charges expected for the policies. If the expenses do not exceed the charges, or if our mortality projections prove to be accurate, we may profit from this charge. We may use profits from this charge for any proper purpose, including the payment of sales expenses or any other expenses that may exceed income in a given year. The mortality and expense risk charge applies to the policy value held in the Separate Account investment options. We guarantee that the mortality and expense risk charge will not exceed an annual rate of 0.50% of the policy value in the Separate Account in the first twenty policy years, and 0.30% of the policy value in the Separate Account beginning in policy year 21. Administration Charge The administrative charge compensates us for various activities associated with issuing and administering the policy. The maximum administrative charge is $7.00 per policy, per month. Coverage Charge The coverage charge is a monthly charge assessed on the base face amount and on coverage provided by the Individual Level Term Rider primarily to help reimburse us for sales costs. The coverage charge is assessed on the base face amount during the first ten policy years. The coverage charge may be assessed in all policy years on coverage provided by the Individual Level Term Rider; however, currently, this charge is assessed only in the first ten policy years. To determine this charge, we multiply the amount of base face amount at issue and the amount of coverage provided by the Individual Level Term Rider, if applicable, by a monthly rate that varies with the insured's gender, issue age, risk class and death benefit option at issue. The coverage charge is established at policy issue; it is not changed by decreases, withdrawals or other transactions that may affect the face amount of the policy after the policy date. However, a separate ten-year coverage charge applies to each layer of coverage. This charge is determined by multiplying the amount of the increase in face amount by the applicable monthly rate which varies based on the insured's gender, death benefit option, attained age and risk class at the time each layer is added. Loan Interest Rates We charge your policy for outstanding loans at the maximum rates illustrated in the table below. As shown, the rate we charge your policy may be higher than the rate we credit the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account.
Rate we credit to the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Loan Type Rate we charge Interest Account ------------------------------------------------------------ Preferred Loan, including 4% in all policy 3% capitalized interest on a years Preferred Loan ------------------------------------------------------------ Other Loans 4% in all policy 3% years*
* Policy loans are not available until the second policy anniversary; however, policy loan interest is charged in arrears. Loans can reduce the policy's death benefit. We deduct the amount of any outstanding loans plus any accrued loan interest from your policy value before we calculate the death benefit. Costs for Policy Riders When you apply for a policy, you can request any of the optional benefit riders we then make available and for which you are eligible under our rules. Availability of any rider, the benefits it provides and the associated charges may vary by state and we 20 may add, delete or modify the available riders for new policies. Each rider contains specific details you should review in selecting your coverage. Certain optional benefit riders have their own charges which are assessed against policy value on each monthly calculation day. We may change the rates charged, but they will not exceed the maximum rates shown in the rider specification pages. The riders listed below are currently available with the policy for additional charges assessed each month as follows: . Alternate Surrender Value Rider-the charge ranges from 3%-5% of one-twelfth of the target annual premium . Disability Payment of Specified Premium Rider-the charge ranges from $0.1899 to $0.6363 per $100 of premium waived . Individual Increasing Term Rider-the charge ranges from $0.1191 to $83.33 per $1,000 of amount at risk . Individual Level Term Rider-the charge ranges from $0.566 to $83.33 per $1000.00 of amount at risk We also attach the following riders to the policy at issue: . Accelerated Benefit Rider (not available in Massachusetts and Washington) . Life Plan Options Rider-attached automatically at issue for policies with face amounts of $1,000,000 or more . No Lapse Guarantee Rider . Overloan Protection Rider These riders do not have monthly charges. However, we deduct transaction charges from policy value for the Accelerated Benefit Rider and the Overloan Protection Rider upon exercise of these options. The transaction fee for the Accelerated Benefit Rider is $300.00. The transaction fee for Overloan Protection is 3.5% of policy value. While there is no separate charge for the No Lapse Guarantee Rider, you must pay premium meeting the requirements described in that rider to obtain the benefit provided by the rider. More detail about the charges for these riders is located in the "Fee Table" of this prospectus and the charges that apply to your policy will be shown in the rider specifications pages. You may find more detail about these benefits in the section of this prospectus entitled "Other Available Policy Benefits." Conditional Charges These are other charges that are imposed only if certain events occur. . Surrender Charge. The surrender charge applies during the ten policy years following policy issue and following an increase in face amount for coverage provided by the base face amount, and for the first fifteen years for coverage provided by the Individual Level Term Rider if you surrender the policy for its net surrender value or request a face amount decrease. This charge is intended to recoup the costs incurred in issuing the policy. The actual surrender charge will never exceed policy value; therefore, we will never require you to submit an additional payment in order to surrender your policy. The total surrender charge is the sum of the surrender charge for the base face amount, including any coverage layers, and the surrender charge for the Individual Level Term Rider. We calculate surrender charges for the face amount at issue, each additional coverage layer, and the Individual Level Term Rider separately. The surrender charge for the base face amount is an amount determined by multiplying the number of thousands of face amount by the surrender charge factor. The base surrender charge factor will vary by the insured's gender, issue age, death benefit option at issue and risk class. Tables of surrender charges for the face amount at issue and each coverage layer are included in the specifications pages of the policy. The surrender charge for the Individual Level Term Rider Amount is a 15-year declining charge based on the insured's gender, issue age, risk class and the death benefit option at issue. A table of surrender charges for the Individual Level Term Rider is included in the specifications pages for the rider. The surrender charge is assessed against the policy value in proportion to the policy's values in the Separate Account, and the Guaranteed Interest Accounts, excluding loaned amounts, on the effective date of the surrender or decrease in face amount. We do not impose a surrender charge after the policy anniversary on which the insured has reached age 100. . Partial Surrender Charge - We charge a portion of the surrender charge when you request a face amount decrease or withdrawal. This charge is intended to help defray the costs of issuing a policy. . Requested face amount decrease - a pro rata portion of the surrender charge will be deducted from your policy value in direct proportion to any decrease in face amount. . Withdrawal of policy value - a pro rata portion of the surrender charge will be deducted from your policy value in direct proportion to any withdrawal of policy value. Face amount reductions may result if you request a withdrawal of policy value. . Transfer Charge. Currently, we do not charge for transfers, however, we reserve the right to charge up to $25.00 for each transfer in excess of twelve each policy year upon prior written notice. This charge, if we were to impose a transfer charge, would be intended to recoup the cost of administering the transfer. . Withdrawal Fee. We reserve the right to charge a fee of up to $25 per withdrawal for withdrawals of policy value. This fee would compensate us for the administrative costs associated with processing withdrawals. Tax Charges Currently, no charge is made against the Separate Account for federal income taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account. The Separate Account may, however, make such a charge in the future for these or any other taxes attributable to the Separate Account, should the Separate Account become liable for such taxes. 21 Fund Charges As compensation for investment management services to the funds, the advisors are entitled to fees, payable monthly and based on an annual percentage of the average aggregate daily net asset values of each series. These fees are paid by the funds from their assets. We provide a table of these charges in the Fee Tables section of this prospectus. These fund charges and other expenses are described more fully in the fund prospectuses. You may obtain a fund prospectus by contacting VULA. Market Timing and Other Disruptive Trading -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We discourage market timing activity, frequent transfers of policy value among investment options and other activity determined to be "Disruptive Trading", as described below. Your ability to make transfers among investment options under the policy is subject to modification if we determine, in our sole opinion, that your exercise of the transfer privilege constitutes "Disruptive Trading" that may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other policy owners. "Disruptive Trading" includes, but is not limited to: frequent purchases, redemptions and transfers; transfers into and then out of an investment option in a short period of time; and transfers of large amounts at one time. The risks and harmful effects of Disruptive Trading include: . dilution of the interests of long-term investors in an investment option, if market timers or others transfer into or out of the investment option rapidly in order to take advantage of market price fluctuations; . an adverse affect on portfolio management, as determined by portfolio management in its sole discretion, such as causing the underlying fund to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case, or causing the underlying fund to liquidate investments prematurely; and . increased brokerage and administrative expenses. To protect our policy owners and the underlying funds from Disruptive Trading, we have adopted certain policies and procedures. Under our Disruptive Trading policy, we can modify your transfer privileges for some or all of the investment options. Modifications include, but are not limited to, not accepting a transfer request from you or from any person, asset allocation service, and/or market timing service made on your behalf. We may also limit the amount that may be transferred into or out of any investment option at any one time. Unless prohibited by the terms of your policy, we may (but are not obligated to): . limit the dollar amount and frequency of transfers (e.g., prohibit more than one transfer a week, or more than two a month, etc.), . restrict the method of making a transfer (e.g., require that all transfers into a particular investment option be sent to our Service Center by first class U.S. mail and/or rescind telephone, internet, IVR or fax transfer privileges), . require a holding period for some investment options (e.g., prohibit transfers into a particular investment option within a specified period of time after a transfer out of that investment option), . impose redemption fees on short-term trading (or implement and administer redemption fees imposed by one or more of the underlying funds), or . impose other limitations or restrictions. Currently we attempt to detect Disruptive Trading by monitoring both the dollar amount of individual transfers and the frequency of a policy owner's transfers. With respect to both dollar amount and frequency, we may consider an individual transfer alone or when combined with transfers from other policies owned by or under the control or influence of the same individual or entity. We currently review transfer activity on a regular basis. We also consider any concerns brought to our attention by the managers of the underlying funds. We may change our monitoring procedures at any time without notice. Because we reserve discretion in applying these policies, they may not be applied uniformly. However, we will to the best of our ability apply these policies uniformly. Consequently, there is a risk that some policy owners could engage in Disruptive Trading while others will bear the effects of their activity. Currently we attempt to detect Disruptive Trading by monitoring activity for all policies. Possible Disruptive Trading activity may result in our sending a warning letter advising the owner of our concern. Regardless of whether a warning letter is sent, once we determine that Disruptive Trading activity has occurred, we may revoke the owner's right to make Internet and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) transfers. We will notify policy owners in writing (by mail to their address of record on file with us) if we limit their trading. We have adopted these policies and procedures as a preventative measure to protect all policy owners from the potential effects of Disruptive Trading, while recognizing the need for policy holders to have available reasonable and convenient methods of making transfers that do not have the potential to harm other policy owners. We currently do not make any exceptions to the policies and procedures discussed above to detect and deter Disruptive Trading. We may reinstate Internet, IVR, telephone and fax transfer privileges after they are revoked, but we will not reinstate these privileges if we have reason to believe that they might be used thereafter for Disruptive Trading. We cannot guarantee that our monitoring will be 100% successful in detecting and restricting all transfer activity that constitutes Disruptive Trading. Moreover, we cannot guarantee that revoking or limiting a policy owner's Internet, IVR, telephone and fax transfer privileges will successfully deter all Disruptive Trading. In addition, some of the underlying funds are available to insurance companies other than PHL Variable and we do not know whether those other insurance companies have adopted any policies and procedures to detect and deter Disruptive Trading, or if so what those policies and procedures might be. Because we may not be able to detect or deter all Disruptive 22 Trading and because some of these funds are available through other insurance companies, some policy owners may be treated differently than others, resulting in the risk that some policy owners could engage in Disruptive Trading while others will bear the effects of their activity. Orders for the purchase of underlying fund shares are subject to acceptance by the relevant fund. Phoenix has entered into information sharing agreements with the underlying funds of this variable life insurance product as required by Rule 22c-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The purpose of the information sharing is to provide information to the underlying funds so that they can monitor, warn, and restrict policy owners who may be engaging in disruptive trading practices as determined by the underlying funds. We reserve the right to reject, without prior notice, any transfer request into any investment option if the purchase of shares in the corresponding underlying fund is not accepted for any reason. We may, without prior notice, take whatever action we deem appropriate to comply with or take advantage of any state or federal regulatory requirement. We do not include transfers made pursuant to the Dollar Cost Averaging, Automatic Asset Rebalancing or other similar programs when applying our Disruptive Trading policy. Allocation Programs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may elect any of the allocation programs described below at no charge and at any time. We may discontinue, modify or amend these programs as well as offer new programs in the future. Asset Allocation and Strategic Programs Asset allocation and strategic programs (referred to as "programs" throughout this section) are intended to optimize the selection of investment options for a given level of risk tolerance, in order to attempt to maximize returns and limit the effects of market volatility. The programs reflect the philosophy that diversification among asset classes may help reduce volatility. An asset class is a category of investments that have similar characteristics, such as stocks, or bonds. Within asset classes there are often further divisions. For example, there may be divisions according to the size of the issuer (large cap, mid cap, small cap) or type of issuer government, corporate, municipal). We currently offer the following programs: Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy, Phoenix-Ibbotson Strategic Asset Allocation, and Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series which are described below. For ease of reference, throughout this section of the prospectus, we refer to these asset allocation and strategic programs, simply as "programs", and we refer to the asset allocation options available within the programs, as "options." There is presently no additional charge for participating in these programs and options. We may, on a prospective basis, charge fees for individual programs and may vary fees among the available programs. You may participate in only one program at a time. Subject to regulatory requirements and approvals, in the future we may modify or eliminate any existing program or option, or may offer other asset allocation services which, at our discretion, may be available to current and/or prospective contract owners. For the most current information on any program or option, please contact your registered representative. Selecting a Program and Option If you are interested in adding a program, consult with your registered representative to discuss your choices. For certain programs, a questionnaire may be used to help you and your registered representative assess your financial needs, investment time horizon, and risk tolerance. You should periodically review these factors to determine if you need to change programs or options. You may at any time switch your current program or option, and may choose any modified or new programs or options the Company may make available. You may cancel your participation in a program at any time, and later re-enroll in a program, after first consulting with your registered representative and then contacting our Main Administrative Office. If a program is eliminated, you will receive notice and you may choose, in consultation with your registered representative, among the other programs available at that time. The following programs are currently available: . Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy Through the Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy, premium payments and policy value are allocated to the three investment options as listed below. On a monthly basis, we will rebalance the policy value allocated to the three investment options back to the original allocation percentages in each investment option. . Franklin Income Securities Fund - 34% . Mutual Shares Securities Fund - 33% . Templeton Growth Securities Fund - 33% . Phoenix-Ibbotson Strategic Asset Allocation PHL Variable and Ibbotson Associates have developed five asset allocation options, each comprised of selected combinations of investment options. The options approved for use are: . Conservative Portfolio . Moderately Conservative Portfolio . Moderate Portfolio . Moderately Aggressive Portfolio . Aggressive Portfolio On a periodic basis (typically annually), Ibbotson evaluates the options and updates them to respond to market conditions and to ensure style consistency. If you select one of the Phoenix-Ibbotson options, your premium payments (policy value for in force policies), however, will not be allocated in accordance with the updated options unless you specifically request we do so. On an annual basis, we will rebalance the policy value allocated to the investment options of the Separate Account used in the asset allocation option for your policy back to the original percentages. You should consult with your registered representative for the most current information on this program and the options within the program. 23 . Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series The Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series are "funds of funds" that invest in other mutual funds based on certain target percentages. The series were designed on established principles of asset allocation and are intended to provide various levels of potential total return at various levels of risk. Asset allocations are updated quarterly, or more often, depending on changes in the economy or markets. Each option is rebalanced regularly to the most recent allocations. The options approved for use are: . Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series: Moderate . Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series: Moderate Growth . Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series: Growth . Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series: Aggressive Growth If you should elect any of the programs listed above, transfers made under these programs will not be counted toward the 12 transfers per year after which we may impose a transfer fee. Systematic Transfer Programs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may elect a systematic transfer program that we offer under the policy. We reserve the right to change, eliminate or add optional programs subject to applicable laws. We base transfers under a Systematic Transfer Program on the investment option values next determined following our receipt of your transfer request. Should the first day of the month fall on a holiday or weekend, we will process the transfer on the next business day. Except as described below, you may have only one program in effect at a time. We do not charge for these programs. Asset Rebalancing Program Under this program, we transfer policy value among the investment options to match your chosen allocation percentages. You can choose to have us make these transfers monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. We reserve the right to not permit transfers to or from the Guaranteed Interest Accounts. You may start or discontinue this program at any time by submitting a written request to VPMO or calling VULA (see page one). The Asset Rebalancing Program does not ensure a profit nor guarantee against a loss in a declining market. Except as described below, we reserve the right not to allow election of the Asset Rebalancing Program while the Dollar Cost Averaging Program is in effect. Dollar Cost Averaging Program Under this program, you can allocate initial or subsequent premium to one of the investment options or the Guaranteed Interest Account (a "source account") and periodically we will make transfers from the source account you designate to one or several of the available investment options ("target investment options") and the Long-term Guaranteed Interest Account. You choose to make these transfers monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. The minimums you may transfer from the source account are: . $25 monthly . $150 semiannually . $75 quarterly . $300 annually You must have at least $2,000 in the source account to begin a Dollar Cost Averaging Program. Should the value in the source account fall below the transfer amount, we will transfer the remaining balance and end the Program. Transfers must be made in approximately equal amounts over a minimum of six months. The Dollar Cost Averaging Program is not available if you invest through a bank draft program. You may start or discontinue this program at any time by submitting a written request to VPMO, or calling VULA (see page one). Dollar Cost Averaging does not ensure a profit nor guarantee against a loss in a declining market. Except as described below, we reserve the right not to allow election of the Dollar Cost Averaging Program while the Asset Rebalancing Program is in effect. Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program We may at different times offer an Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program that can offer a higher interest rate during selected periods. This program will not be offered at the same time as the standard Dollar Cost Averaging program. Under this program, the first net premium payment will be held in the money market investment option of the Separate Account and then transferred to the source account at the end of the policy's right to cancel period. The source account is an account within the Guaranteed Interest Account. If you elect this program, monthly transfers from the source account to the target accounts you establish will begin on the first monthly calculation day following the end of the right to cancel period. The Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging interest rate will be guaranteed from the end of the right to cancel period for six months or to the first policy anniversary, depending on the period you chose when you elected the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program. This may be substantially less than a full year if the policy has been backdated to save age. Use of Dollar Cost Averaging with Asset Rebalancing and Allocation Programs If you elect to participate in either the Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy, or the Phoenix-Ibbotson Strategic Asset Allocation Program then you may also elect to participate in the following programs: 1.Dollar Cost Averaging or Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging; and 2.Asset Rebalancing with monthly rebalancing in the Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy, or Asset Rebalancing with annual rebalancing in the Phoenix-Ibbotson Strategic Asset Allocation Program. If you elect both the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging and the Asset Rebalancing Program, your entire dollar cost averaging transfer amount must be allocated to the Allocation Program in effect for your policy. 24 Policy Lapse and Reinstatement -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lapse Payment of the initial premium, no matter how large or the payment of additional premiums will not necessarily guarantee the policy will remain in force. If you take a withdrawal or a policy loan, it could negatively affect the policy value, and therefore increase the risk of policy lapse. If the policy value is less than the monthly deduction, we will allow a grace period of 61 days during which you must pay an amount equal to three times the required monthly deduction plus any amount overdue to prevent the policy from lapsing. If you fail to make the required payment before the 61-day grace period ends, the policy will lapse and expire without value. We will mail you notice at least 15 days and not more than 45 days before any potential lapse will occur. By lapse, we mean that the policy is no longer in full force and has no available value. The policy will remain in force during the grace period. We apply any premium payment we receive during the grace period, less the premium expense charge, to first pay any monthly deductions due during the grace period. We will apply any excess premium according to your current premium allocation schedule. The death benefit during the grace period is equal to the death benefit immediately before the grace period begins. No Lapse Guarantee Benefit This benefit will be made a part of the policy by rider automatically attached at issue for policies with insureds who are age 70 or younger on the policy date. The rider provides for four No Lapse Guarantee periods as shown in the specification pages for the rider. Under the rider, as long as the cumulative premium test, described below, is satisfied for any No Lapse Guarantee periods then in effect, the policy will not lapse even if the policy's account value reduces to zero as a result of adverse investment performance or other factors. There is no separate charge for the No Lapse Guarantee benefit; however, to maintain the guarantee, the policy must meet the total cumulative premium test. This test requires that cumulative premiums paid since policy issue (accumulated at 4%) less withdrawals (accumulated at 4%) and less policy loans and accrued interest be at least equal to the minimum cumulative monthly No Lapse Guarantee premiums since issue for any No Lapse Guarantee periods then in effect (accumulated at 4%). The monthly No Lapse Guarantee premium will be set at the time the rider is issued and will vary based on the total face amount, the insured's age, gender, risk classification, additional ratings, other than flat extra ratings, and the amount, if any, provided by the Disability Payment of Specified Premium Benefit Rider. The monthly No Lapse Guarantee premiums will be shown on the specifications pages for the feature. If the policy does not meet this total cumulative premium test, the policy owner will have a certain amount of time, depending on the No Lapse Guarantee period in effect, within which to restore the option by paying a shortfall amount. The shortfall amount is the amount by which the total cumulative premiums paid to the policy is less than the amount required by the total cumulative premium test. If the total cumulative premium test is not met and the policy owner does not restore the No Lapse Guarantee by paying the shortfall amount within the required period, the No Lapse Guarantee will terminate and cannot be reinstated. Also, if at the time the total cumulative premium test is not met there is not sufficient policy value to pay any monthly charges due, the policy will enter the grace period. While the No Lapse Guarantee benefit is in effect, the premium necessary to restore a policy that has entered the grace period is different from the amount otherwise required to restore a policy in the grace period. The premium necessary to restore a policy with the No Lapse Guarantee benefit is the lesser of: . An amount that will result in a net surrender value equal to at least three monthly deductions plus monthly deduction amounts that have been incurred but not charged under the policy as a result of the No Lapse Guarantee benefit; and . If the shortfall period has not expired, the shortfall amount plus the next three monthly No Lapse Guarantee premiums. Termination This policy terminates automatically on the earliest of the date of death, full surrender, or the date that the grace period expires without the payment of sufficient premium in accordance with the lapse provision. Reinstatement Unless this policy has been surrendered for its net surrender value, this policy may be reinstated at any time within five years from the date the premium payment was insufficient to pay the monthly deduction due. You may request reinstatement in writing and we will require submission of evidence of insurability satisfactory to us along with the payment of an amount that would result in a net surrender value equal to at least three monthly deductions. Other Available Policy Benefits -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you apply for a policy, you can request any of the optional benefit riders we then make available. Availability of certain riders, the benefits provided and the associated charges may vary by state, and our rules and procedures will govern eligibility for any rider. Each rider contains specific details you should review in selecting your coverage. Riders we offer as optional riders have separate monthly charges as shown in the "Fee Tables" of this prospectus. Optional Riders We currently make the optional riders listed below available with the policy. We may also add, delete or modify the list of optional riders. . Alternate Surrender Value Rider. This rider will provide a higher net surrender value in the early policy years. Upon full surrender of the policy during the rider benefit period, we will pay the policy owner the greater of (1) the net surrender value of the policy; and (2) the Alternate Surrender Value provided by the rider. The Alternate Surrender Value equals the lesser of: . All premiums paid for the policy; or 25 . The policy value, plus a refund of all of the following charges made on the policy since issue: premium expense charges, administrative charges, coverage charges and charges for the Alternate Surrender Value Rider. . Disability Payment of Specified Premium Rider. This rider provides a benefit of a specified monthly amount due to the total disability of the insured as defined in the rider. The benefit amount is credited to the policy on each monthly calculation day during a period of the insured's total disability that persists for at least 6 continuous months and occurs within a disability benefit period. The rider terminates on the policy anniversary immediately following the insured's 65/th/ birthday; however, benefits will continue to be paid beyond that time if the insured has been continuously disabled under the terms of the rider since the policy anniversary immediately following the insured's 60/th/ birthday. The rider will also terminate under other circumstances described in the rider. The maximum age of the insured at issue for this rider is age 60. . Individual Increasing Term Rider. This optional rider, available only with Death Benefit Option A, will provide annually renewable term insurance coverage beginning in the second policy year. If an insured meets our underwriting criteria, at the time of application the policy owner may select either percentage or fixed dollar increases, or monthly increases based on the amount of premium paid to the policy in the prior month. After the rider is issued, the type of increase selected and the percentage or amount of any increase may be decreased but not increased. Increases provided by the rider will terminate upon the earliest of the policy owner's request to decrease the rider face amount or the policy face amount, withdrawal of policy value, or the policy anniversary following the date the insured reaches age 100. . Individual Level Term Rider. This rider provides additional level term insurance until the insured reaches age 100. The initial rider death benefit is limited to nine times the policy's initial face amount. This rider and the level term face amount are elected at issue. Coverage provided by this rider has its own coverage charge and is subject to its own surrender charge. Coverage provided by this rider is affected by policy decreases or withdrawals if the amount of the decrease or withdrawal exceeds any coverage provided by the Individual lncreasing Term Rider. A partial surrender charge will also apply in these cases. Termination of the rider under any circumstances will result in the rider surrender charge being applied on the amount of coverage provided by the Individual Level Term Rider. Riders We Make Part of the Policy at Issue We also attach certain riders to the policy automatically at issue, subject to state availability. These riders do not have separate monthly charges but the Accelerated Benefit Rider and the Overloan Protection Rider have transaction charges that are assessed at the time the benefit is exercised. We may add, modify or delete riders available with this policy for new policies. . Accelerated Benefit Rider. This rider is not available for policies issued in Massachusetts and Washington. Under certain conditions, in the event of the terminal illness of the insured, an accelerated payment of up to 75% of the policy's death benefit (up to a maximum of $250,000 aggregate for all policies issued by PHL Variable and its insurance company affiliates) is available under this rider. The minimum face amount of the policy after any such accelerated payment is $10,000. . LifePlan Options Rider. This rider is only available for policies of $1 million face amount or more. This rider is not available with any policy issued as part of a qualified plan. At specified 5th, 10th and 15th year policy anniversaries, subject to various limitations as set forth in the rider, the rider provides the following favorable policy options: 1)An option to increase the total face amount of the policy by up to $1,000,000 without a medical exam requirement, while other traditional underwriting rules will still apply. 2)An option to reduce the base policy face amount up to 50% without incurring a partial surrender charge. . No Lapse Guarantee Rider. This rider provides a guarantee that the policy will not lapse as a result of the cash value becoming insufficient to pay the policy's monthly charges if the conditions of the rider are met. For additional details, see the "Lapse and Reinstatement" section of this prospectus. . Overloan Protection Rider. This rider is designed to prevent a heavily loaned policy from lapsing. For additional details, see the "Policy Loan" section of this prospectus. You should read the riders carefully for all their terms and conditions. General -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Postponement of Payments We may postpone payment of surrenders, partial withdrawals, policy loan or death benefits in certain cases including the following circumstances: . we may postpone for up to six months, payment for any transaction that depends on the value of the Guaranteed Interest Accounts; . we may postpone payment whenever the NYSE is closed on what would otherwise be a regular trading day, trading on the NYSE is restricted, on days when a certain market is closed (e.g., the U.S. Government bond market is closed on Columbus Day and Veteran's Day) or may have closed early; or . when the SEC decides an emergency exists and the sale of securities or the determination of the value of securities in the Separate Account is not reasonably practicable. Transfers also may be postponed under these circumstances. Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances require us to block a policy owner's ability to make certain transactions and, as a 26 result, we may refuse to accept requests for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders or death benefits, until we are so instructed by the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your policy to government regulators. Reservation of Company Rights to Change the Separate Account We have the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to add, delete, or substitute investment options of the Separate Account, combine the Separate Account into another Separate Account, transform the Separate Account into a mutual fund, and/or deregister the Separate Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940. We also reserve the right to close any underlying fund to new investment or eliminate the shares of any underlying fund(s) if they are no longer available for investment, or if we believe investing in any underlying fund(s) is no longer appropriate for the purposes of the Separate Account. Tax Considerations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General This discussion is general in nature and is not intended as income tax advice. We make no attempt to consider any estate and inheritance taxes, or any state, local or other tax laws. Because this discussion is based upon our understanding of federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted, we cannot guarantee the income tax status of any policy. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") makes no representation regarding the likelihood of continuation of current federal income tax laws, U.S. Treasury regulations or of the current interpretations. We reserve the right to make changes to the policy to assure that it will continue to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes. The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on values under the Separate Account and on the economic benefit to you or your beneficiary depends on our income tax status and upon the income tax status of the policy owner. Policy owners should consult their own independent tax advisors for advice and information relating to their particular tax situation. Income Tax Status We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended. For federal income tax purposes, neither the Separate Account nor the Guaranteed Interest Accounts are separate entities from Phoenix Life Insurance Company. PHL Variable Insurance Company and Phoenix Life and Annuity Company and their operations form a part of Phoenix Life Insurance Company. Investment income and realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account are reinvested and taken into account in determining the value of the Separate Account. Investment income of the Separate Account, including realized net capital gains, is not taxed to us. Due to our income tax status under current provisions of the Code, no charge currently will be made to the Separate Account for our federal income taxes which may be attributable to the Separate Account. We reserve the right to make a deduction for taxes if our federal income tax treatment is determined to be other than what we currently believe it to be, if changes are made affecting the income tax treatment to our variable life insurance contracts, or if changes occur in our income tax status. If imposed, such charge would be equal to the federal income taxes attributable to the investment results of the Separate Account. Policy Benefits Tax Treatment as Life Insurance In order to be treated as life insurance for federal income tax purposes, the policy must meet certain requirements. If these requirements are met, the death benefits are generally received without federal income tax and the earnings on the policy are not subject to federal income tax until withdrawn. These requirements include definitional tests and rules for diversification of the policy's investments. These requirements are generally described below. There are two definitional tests for life insurance in the Internal Revenue Code: (1) Cash Value Accumulation Test, and (2) Guideline Premium Test. The selection of the tests is made at issue and cannot be changed thereafter. The choice of test is dependent on several factors, including the insured's age at issue and intention of the owner concerning policy funding patterns. If this policy permits the policy owner to select the applicable test, this selection must be made at issue. Under the Cash Value Accumulation Test, there must, at all times, be a minimum ratio of death benefit to cash value. Compliance with the test is based on the policy design at issue. The premiums permitted under this test are based on the death benefit, age and characteristics of the insured and types of riders on the policy. Under the Guideline Premium Test, there is a limit as to the amount of premium that can be paid into the policy in relation to the death benefit. The initial premium limit is based on the death benefit, age and characteristics of the insured and types of riders on the policy. The actual premium limits each year will depend on the amount of premiums paid in a prior year. In addition to this premium test, there is also a minimum ratio of death benefit to cash value under the Cash Value Corridor. This Corridor looks to the age of the insured and the cash value each year and may require periodic adjustments in death benefit for compliance. In general, the death benefit required under this test is lower in the early years than that under the Cash Value Accumulation Test. Death Benefit Proceeds The policy, whether or not it is a modified endowment contract (see "Modified Endowment Contracts"), should be treated as meeting the definition of a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes under Section 7702 of the Code. As such, the death benefit proceeds thereunder should be excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary under Code Section 101(a)(1) unless there has been a transfer for valuable consideration or unless the specific requirements relating to Business and Corporate-Owned Policies are not met (see "Business and Corporate-Owned Policies"). Also, a policy owner should not be considered to be in constructive receipt of the net surrender value, including investment income. However, see the sections below on possible taxation of amounts received under 27 the policy, via full surrender, partial surrender or loan. In addition, it is possible that the IRS may consider a benefit paid under the Accelerated Benefit Rider as taxable income in the year of receipt. As described above, Code Section 7702 imposes certain conditions with respect to premiums received under a policy based on the definitional test you choose for the policy. We monitor the premiums to assure compliance with such conditions. However, if the premium limitation is exceeded during the year, we may return the excess premium, with interest, to the policy owner within 60 days after the end of the policy year, and maintain the qualification of the policy as life insurance for federal income tax purposes. There are two definitional tests for life insurance in the Internal Revenue Code; (1) Cash Value Accumulation Test, and (2) Guideline Premium Test. The selection of the tests is made at issue and cannot be changed thereafter. The choice of test is dependent on several factors, including the insured's age at issue and intention of the owner concerning policy funding patterns. You should consult your own tax advisor for advice with respect to the selection of the definitional test for your policy. Under the Cash Value Accumulation Test, there must, at all times, be a minimum ratio of death benefit to cash value. Compliance with the test is based on the policy design at issue. The premiums permitted under this test are based on the death benefit, age and characteristics of the insured and types of riders on the policy. Under the Guideline Premium Test, there is a limit as to the amount of premium that can be paid into the policy in relation to the death benefit. The initial premium limit is based on the death benefit, age and characteristics of the insured and types of riders on the policy. The actual premium limits each year will depend on the amount of premiums paid in a prior year. In addition to this premium test, there is also a minimum ratio of death benefit to cash value under the Cash Value Corridor. This Corridor looks to the age of the insured and the cash value each year and may require periodic adjustments in death benefit for compliance. In general, the death benefit required under this test is lower in the early years than that under the Cash Value Accumulation Test. Full Surrender Upon full surrender of a policy for its net surrender value, the excess, if any, of the policy value (unreduced by any outstanding indebtedness) over the premiums paid will be treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The full surrender of a policy that is a modified endowment contract may result in the imposition of an additional 10% tax on any income received. Partial Surrender If the policy is classified as a modified endowment contract, partial surrenders and other distributions are fully taxable to the extent of income in the policy and are possibly subject to an additional 10% tax. See the discussion on modified endowment contracts below. If the policy is not a modified endowment contract, partial surrenders are generally not taxable. There are situations, however, in which a partial surrender, accompanied by a reduction in death benefits can result in current taxation. Under Code Section 7702(f)(7), where a reduction in death benefits occurs during the first 15 years after a policy is issued and there is a cash distribution associated with that reduction, the policy owner may be taxed on all or a part of that amount distributed. A reduction in death benefits may result from a partial surrender. After 15 years, the proceeds will not be subject to tax, except to the extent such proceeds exceed the total amount of premiums paid but not previously recovered. We suggest you consult with your tax advisor in advance of a proposed decrease in death benefits or a partial surrender as to the portion, if any, which would be subject to tax, and in addition as to the impact such partial surrender might have under the new rules affecting modified endowment contracts. The benefit payment under the Accelerated Benefit Rider is not considered a partial surrender. Loans We believe that any loan received under a policy will be treated as your indebtedness. If the policy is a modified endowment contract, loans are fully taxable to the extent of income in the policy and are possibly subject to an additional 10% tax. See the discussion on modified endowment contracts. If the policy is not a modified endowment contract, we believe that no part of any loan under a policy will constitute income to you as long as the policy remains in force. The deductibility by a policy owner of loan interest under a policy is limited under Code Section 264. In most cases, there is no interest deduction permitted, although in limited circumstances, a current deduction may be permitted. We suggest you consult with your tax advisor to determine that amount, if any, of your policy loan interest that may be deductible. Business and Corporate-Owned Policies If the policy owner is an entity engaged in a trade or business, there are Internal Revenue Code provisions that apply to the tax treatment of premiums, policy loan interest, contract earnings and death benefits. No deduction is permitted for premiums paid if the policy owner is a beneficiary under the contract. With limited exceptions, no deduction is allowed for interest paid or accrued on any policy loan. An interest deduction disallowance rule on non-policy interest (e.g., interest relating to a different investment) paid or incurred by the owner may also apply in the case of a policy insuring the life of an individual who is not an owner of the policy owner, or an officer, director, or employee of the policy owner's business. Death benefits may be subject to income tax unless (1) specified notice and consent provisions are met and (2) criteria are satisfied concerning the relationship between the insured and policy owner or the insured and the death benefits. The policy owner is solely responsible for ensuring that the notice and consent requirements and additional statutory criteria are satisfied. As required by the Internal Revenue Service, the policy owner must also comply with any required annual reporting and recordkeeping requirements. In addition, for certain corporate policy owners, the death benefits and policy earnings may be subject to tax under the corporate alternative minimum tax. Modified Endowment Contracts General A life insurance policy is tested under the "7-pay test" of Code Section 7701A to determine if it is a modified endowment 28 contract "MEC". This test is designed to distinguish policies that have more investment orientation from policies which are less investment oriented. Under this test, there is a premium limit that applies for the first 7 years of the policy and for 7 years after a material change to the policy. If the policy is classified as a MEC, there is no change to the terms of the policy; however, the tax treatment of loans, distributions and decreases is changed from the treatment for non-MEC policies. For a MEC, loans and other distributions will, in general, be taxed to the extent of accumulated income (generally, the excess of cash value over premiums paid). We will modify your premium payments to determine if the premium paid will exceed the 7-pay limit. If such a payment occurs, we will remove the excess premium from your policy to reverse MEC status and offer you the opportunity to have the excess amounts reapplied. Premiums paid during a policy year but which are removed from the policy, with interest if any, within 60 days after the end of the policy year will be excluded from the 7-pay test. If you chose to have the premiums reapplied to your policy during the same policy year and your policy becomes a MEC, the MEC status cannot be reversed. A life insurance policy received in exchange for a modified endowment contract will be treated as a modified endowment contract. Reduction in Benefits During the First Seven Years If, during the first seven contract years, there is a reduction in death benefits or reduction or elimination of any Optional Insurance Benefits the 7-pay test is recalculated assuming the lowered death benefits. This recalculation is retroactive back to the beginning of the policy and each premium actually paid is tested against the recalculated limit. Distributions Affected If a policy fails to meet the 7-pay test, it is considered a modified endowment contract only as to distributions in the year in which the test is failed and all subsequent policy years. However, distributions made in anticipation of such failure (defined as specifically including distributions made within two years prior to such failure) are considered distributions under a modified endowment contract. Penalty Tax Any amounts taxable under the modified endowment contract rule will be subject to an additional 10% excise tax, except for distributions that are: . made on or after the taxpayer attains age 59 1/2; . attributable to the taxpayer's disability (within the meaning of Code Section 72(m)(7)); or . part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less often than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or the joint lives (or life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his beneficiary. Material Change Rules Any determination of whether the policy meets the 7-pay test will begin again any time the policy undergoes a "material change," which includes any increase in death benefits or any increase in or addition of a qualified additional benefit, except for an increase that is attributable to premiums paid "necessary to fund" the lowest death benefit and qualified additional benefits payable in the first seven policy years or to the crediting of interest or dividends with respect to these premiums. A material change may occur at any time during the life of the policy (within the first seven years or thereafter), and future taxation of distributions or loans would depend upon whether the policy satisfied the applicable 7-pay test from the time of the material change. An exchange of policies is considered to be a material change for all purposes. Serial Purchase of Modified Endowment Contracts All modified endowment contracts issued by the same insurer (or affiliated companies of the insurer) to the same policy owner within the same calendar year will be treated as one modified endowment contract in determining the taxable portion of any loans or distributions made to the policy owner. Limitations on Unreasonable Mortality and Expense Charges The Code imposes limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges for purposes of ensuring that a policy qualifies as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes. The mortality charges taken into account to compute permissible premium levels may not exceed those charges required to be used in determining the federal income tax reserve for the policy, unless U.S. Treasury regulations prescribe a higher level of charge. In addition, the expense charges taken into account under the guideline premium test are required to be reasonable, as defined by the U.S. Treasury regulations. We will comply with the limitations for calculating the premium we are permitted to receive from you. Qualified Plans A policy may be used in conjunction with certain qualified plans. Since the rules governing such use are complex, you should not use the policy in conjunction with a qualified plan until you have consulted a pension consultant or income tax advisor. Diversification Standards To comply with the Diversification Regulations under Code Section 817(h), ("Diversification Regulations") each contract is required to be adequately diversified. Through the use of separate accounts, a contract can satisfy the diversification requirements as long as on the last day of each calendar quarter the separate account's assets be invested in no more than: . 55% in any one investment . 70% in any two investments . 80% in any three investments . 90% in any four investments A "look-through" rule applies to treat a pro rata portion of each asset of a series as an asset of the Separate Account; therefore, each series will be tested for compliance with the percentage limitations. For purposes of these diversification rules, all securities of the same issuer are treated as a single investment, but each United States government agency or instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer. 29 We intend to comply with the Diversification Regulations to assure that the policies continue to qualify as a life insurance contract, for federal income tax purposes. Owner Control For variable contracts, tax deferral depends on the insurance company and not you having control of the assets held in the separate accounts. You can allocate policy value from one fund of the separate account to another but you specifically cannot direct the investments each fund makes. If you have too much "investor control" of the assets supporting the separate account funds, then you will be taxed on the gain in the contract as it is earned rather than when it is withdrawn. In 2003, the IRS in Revenue Ruling 2003-91, issued formal guidance that indicates that if the number of underlying mutual funds available in a variable insurance product does not exceed 20, the number of underlying mutual funds alone would not cause the contract to not qualify for the desired tax treatment. The IRS has also indicated that exceeding 20 investment options may be considered a factor, along with other factors, including the number of transfer opportunities available under the contract, when determining whether the contract qualifies for the desired tax treatment. The Revenue Ruling did not indicate the actual number of underlying mutual funds that would cause the contract to not provide the desired tax treatment but stated that 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. The Revenue Ruling considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and held that the types of actual and potential control that the contract owners could exercise over the investment assets held by the insurance company under the variable contracts was not sufficient to cause the contract owners to be treated as the owners of those assets and thus to be subject to current income tax on the income and gains produced by those assets. Under this contract, like the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling, there is no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between the contract owner and the company, regarding the availability of a particular investment option and, other than the contract owner's right to allocate premium payments and transfer funds among the available investment options, all investment decisions concerning the investment options will be made by us or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion. At this time, it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided by the U.S. Treasury on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance. Should the U.S. Treasury issue additional rules or regulations limiting the number of underlying mutual funds, transfers between or among underlying mutual funds, exchanges of underlying mutual funds or changes in investment objectives of underlying mutual funds such that the contract would no longer qualify for tax deferred treatment, the company reserves the right to modify the contract to the extent required to maintain favorable tax treatment. Change of Ownership or Insured or Assignment Changing the policy owner or the insured or an exchange or assignment of the policy may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances. Code Section 1035 provides that a life insurance contract can be exchanged for another life insurance contract, without recognition of gain or loss, assuming that no money or other property is received in the exchange, and that the policies relate to the same insured. If the surrendered policy is subject to a policy loan, this may be treated as the receipt of money on the exchange. We recommend that any person contemplating such actions seek the advice of an income tax advisor. Other Taxes Federal estate tax, state and local estate, inheritance and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary. We do not make any representations or guarantees regarding the tax consequences of any policy with respect to these types of taxes. Withholding We are required to withhold federal income taxes on the taxable portion of any amounts received under the policy unless you elect to not have any withholding or in certain other circumstances. You are not permitted to elect out of withholding if you do not provide a social security number or other taxpayer identification number. Special withholding rules apply to payments made to nonresident aliens. You are liable for payment of federal income taxes on the taxable portion of any amounts received under the policy. You may be subject to penalties if your withholding or estimated tax payments are insufficient. In 2004, the Department of Treasury ruled that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under a life insurance policy issued by a United States company is U.S.-source income that is subject to United States Federal income tax. See Rev. Rul. 2004-74, 2004-31 I.R.B. 109. This ruling is also understood to apply to other nonresident alien policyholders. The Phoenix Companies, Inc. - Legal Proceedings about Company Subsidiaries -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are regularly involved in litigation and arbitration, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation and arbitration naming us as a defendant ordinarily involves our activities as an insurer, investor, investment advisor or taxpayer. It is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all legal or arbitration proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. We believe that the outcomes of our litigation and arbitration matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation and arbitration, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. State regulatory bodies, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA (formerly known as the National Association of 30 Securities Dealers, Inc., or NASD), and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries of us and, from time to time, conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws and securities laws. We endeavor to respond to such inquiries in an appropriate way and to take corrective action if warranted. In 2005, the Boston District Office of the SEC conducted a compliance examination of certain of PNX's affiliates that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Following the examination, the staff of the Boston District Office issued a deficiency letter primarily focused on perceived weaknesses in procedures for monitoring trading to prevent market timing activity. The staff requested PNX to conduct an analysis as to whether shareholders, policyholders and contract holders who invested in the funds that may have been affected by undetected market timing activity had suffered harm and to advise the staff whether PNX believes reimbursement is necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. A third party was retained to assist PNX in preparing the analysis. Based on this analysis, PNX advised the SEC that it does not believe that reimbursement is appropriate. Over the past several years, a number of companies have announced settlements of enforcement actions with various regulatory agencies, primarily the SEC and the New York Attorney General's Office. While no such action has been initiated against us, it is possible that one or more regulatory agencies may pursue this type of action against us in the future. Financial services companies have also been the subject of broad industry inquiries by state regulators and attorneys general which do not appear to be company-specific. These types of regulatory actions may be difficult to assess or quantify, may seek recovery of indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, and the nature and magnitude of their outcomes may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all pending inquiries, investigations, legal proceedings and other regulatory actions, or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses, we believe that their outcomes are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions and the inherent unpredictability of regulatory matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The financial statements of PHLVIC Variable Universal Life Account as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the periods indicated and the financial statements of PHL Variable Insurance Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 are contained in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI), which you can get free of charge by calling the toll free number given on page one. The financial statements of PHL Variable Insurance Company included herein should be considered only as bearing upon the ability of PHL Variable Insurance Company to meet its obligations under the policies. You should not consider them as bearing on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account or the Guaranteed Interest Accounts' rates that we credit during a guarantee period. Distribution of Policies -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The company has appointed PEPCO to serve as the principal underwriter and distributor of the securities offered through this prospectus, pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement. PEPCO, which is an affiliate of the company, also acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of other variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts issued by the company and its affiliated companies. The company reimburses PEPCO for expenses PEPCO incurs in distributing the policies (e.g., commissions payable to retail broker-dealers who sell the policies). PEPCO does not retain any fees under the policies; however, PEPCO may receive 12b-1 fees from the funds. PEPCO's principal executive offices are located at 56 Prospect Street, Hartford, Connecticut 06103. PEPCO is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). PEPCO and the company enter into selling agreements with broker-dealers who are registered with the SEC and are members of FINRA, and with entities that may offer the policies but are exempt from registration. Applications for the policy are solicited by registered representatives who are associated persons of such broker-dealer firms. Those representatives act as appointed agents of the company under applicable state insurance law and must be licensed to sell variable life insurance products. The company intends to offer the policy in all jurisdictions where it is licensed to do business and where the policy is approved. The policies are offered on a continuous basis. Compensation Broker-dealers having selling agreements with PEPCO and the company are paid compensation for the promotion and sale of the policies. Registered representatives who solicit sales of the policy typically receive a portion of the compensation payable to the broker-dealer firm, depending on the agreement between the firm and the registered representatives. A broker-dealer firm or registered representative of a firm may receive different compensation for selling one product over another and/or may be inclined to favor or disfavor one product provider over another product provider due to differing compensation rates. Compensation paid on the policies, as well as other incentives or payments, is not assessed as an additional direct charge to policy owners or the Separate Account. Instead, you pay for sales and distribution expenses through overall charges and fees assessed under your policy. For example, front end sales charges, per thousand sales loads, and /or any profits the company may realize through assessing the mortality and 31 expense risk charge under your policy may be used to pay for sales and distribution expenses. We may also pay for sales and distribution expenses out of any payments the company or PEPCO may receive from the funds for providing administrative, marketing and other support and services to the funds. The amount and timing of overall compensation, which includes both commissions and the additional compensation as outlined below, may vary depending on the selling and other agreements in place. The additional compensation or reimbursement we pay to certain broker-dealers may be paid in the form of flat fees. However, these payments may be represented as a percentage of expected premium payments. Sales commissions will be paid to registered representatives on purchase payments we receive under these policies. Phoenix will pay a maximum total sales commission of up to 112% of target premium payments up to the commission target premium in the first policy year, up to 20% of the premium in excess of this amount; and will pay up to 20% of premium payments up to the commission target premium in the following policy years. Percentage of Premium Payment We generally pay compensation as a percentage of premium payments invested in the policy ("commissions"). The amount of commissions we pay may vary depending on the selling agreement. Promotional Incentives and Payments To the extent permitted by FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, PEPCO may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the firm of cash or other compensation. Preferred Distribution Arrangements The company and PEPCO have also entered into preferred distribution arrangements with certain broker-dealer firms. These arrangements are sometimes called "shelf space" arrangements. Under these arrangements, the company and PEPCO pay separate, additional compensation to the broker-dealer firm for services the broker-dealer provides in connection with the distribution of the Company's products. The payments are made from the Company's general assets and they may be significant. The broker-dealer may realize a profit on these payments. These services may include providing the company with access to the distribution network of the broker-dealer, the hiring and training of the broker-dealer's sales personnel, the sponsoring of conferences and seminars by the broker-dealer, or general marketing services performed by the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may also provide other services or incur other costs in connection with distributing the company's products. These preferred distribution arrangements will not be offered to all broker-dealer firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ between broker-dealer firms. Compensation payable under such arrangements may be based on: aggregate, net or anticipated sales of the policies; total assets attributable to sale of the policies by registered representatives of the broker-dealer firm; the length of time that a policy owner has owned the policy; meeting certain sales thresholds; and/or actual or anticipated overhead expenses incurred by the broker-dealer firms in offering the policies and other variable insurance products offered by the company or its affiliates. Compensation under these arrangements may be in the form of one-time or periodic lump sum payments. The company and PEPCO have entered into such arrangements with State Farm VP Management Corporation, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., Wachovia Securities, Woodbury Securities , AXA Network, A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., LPL Financial Services, and certain of its affiliates, National Financial Partners, FFR Financial and Insurance Services, and Crump Group, Inc. 32 APPENDIX A - Investment Options --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(800) 541-0171 1 PHL Variable Insurance Company -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHL Variable Insurance Company ("PHL Variable") sells variable life insurance and annuity products to individual and institutional customers. PHL Variable is organized as a Connecticut stock company. It was incorporated in Connecticut on July 15, 1981. PHL Variable is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix Life Insurance Company, a Connecticut stock life insurance company, which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation. Our executive and administrative office is at One American Row, Hartford, CT 06103-2899. The Separate Account -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHL Variable established the PHLVIC Variable Universal Life Account ("Separate Account") as a separate account under Connecticut insurance law on September 10, 1998. The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") under which it meets the definition of a "separate account." The Separate Account purchases shares in mutual funds called "underlying funds." The Separate Account is divided into sections called "investment options." There is a corresponding investment option for each underlying fund in which the Separate Account invests. You do not invest directly in the underlying funds. Instead, the account value you allocate to the Separate Account purchases "units" of the Separate Account. The units are allocated to the investment option of your choice. Each time you buy units of the Separate Account, the Separate Account purchases shares of the corresponding underlying fund. The value of your units will vary. Please refer to "Determination of Investment Option Values" located in this section for more details on unit values. The shares of the underlying funds are not offered for sale to the general public. The underlying funds are used exclusively in variable life insurance and annuity products. The underlying funds will perform differently than mutual funds offered to the general public because the underlying funds may not make the same investments or have the same charges as mutual funds available to the general public. Phoenix does not guarantee the investment performance of the Separate Account or any of its investment options. The policy value allocated to the Separate Account depends on the investment performance of the underlying funds. As policy owner, you bear the full investment risk for all monies invested in the Separate Account. All income, gains or losses, credited to or charged against the Separate Account reflect the Separate Account's own investment experience and not the investment experience of PHL Variable's other assets. The assets of the Separate Account may not be used to pay liabilities of PHL Variable other than those arising from the variable life insurance policies issued by the Separate Account. 2 Reinvestment and Redemption All dividend distributions of a fund are automatically reinvested in shares of the fund at their net asset value on the date of distribution; any capital gains distributions of a fund are likewise reinvested at the net asset value on the record date. PHL Variable redeems fund shares at their net asset value to the extent necessary to make payments under the policy. Substitution of Investments We reserve the right to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the investments held by the Separate Account, subject to compliance with the law as currently applicable or as subsequently changed. If the shares of any of the portfolios of a fund should no longer be available for investment, or, if in our judgment, further investment in shares of any of the portfolios becomes inappropriate in view of the objectives of the policy, then we may substitute shares of another fund for shares already purchased, or to be purchased in the future. No substitution of fund shares held by the Separate Account may take place without prior approval of the SEC and prior notice to you. In the event of a substitution, you will be given the option of transferring the policy value from the affected investment option to another investment option without penalty. Determination of Investment Option Values We establish the unit value of each investment option on the first valuation date of that investment option. The unit value of an investment option on any other valuation date is determined by multiplying the unit value of that investment option on the previous valuation date by the net investment factor for that investment option for the then current valuation period. The unit value of each investment option on a day other than a valuation date is the unit value on the next valuation date. Unit values are carried to six decimal places. The unit value of each investment option on a valuation date is determined at the end of that day. The net investment factor for each investment option is determined by the investment performance of the assets held by the investment option during the valuation period. Each valuation will follow applicable law and accepted procedures. The net investment factor is determined by the formula: (A) + (B) --------- - (D) where: (C) (A) = The value of the assets in the investment option on the current valuation date, including accrued net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, but excluding the net value of any transactions during the current valuation period. (B) = The amount of any dividend (or, if applicable, any capital gain distribution) received by the investment option if the "ex-dividend" date for shares of the fund occurs during the current valuation period. (C) = The value of the assets in the investment option as of the just prior valuation date, including accrued net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and including the net amount of any deposits and withdrawals made during the valuation period ending on that date. (D) = Any charges for taxes on income and capital gains plus charges for changes in tax reserves for the current valuation period, per $1 of assets in the investment option. These charges will only be deducted if, in the future, the Separate Account becomes liable for them. The Policy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The number of units credited to an investment option of the Separate Account will be determined by dividing the portion of the net premium applied to that investment option by the unit value of the investment option on the payment date. You may increase or decrease the planned premium amount (within limits) or payment frequency at any time by writing to VPMO at the address located on the first page of this SAI. We reserve the right to limit increases to such maximums as may be established from time to time. During a grace period, the minimum payment we will accept is the amount needed to prevent policy lapse. The Policy The policy and attached copy of the application are the entire contract. Only statements in the application can be used to void the policy. The statements are considered representations and not warranties. Only an executive officer of PHL Variable can agree to change or waive any provisions of the policy. Suicide We will stop and void the policy if the insured person commits suicide within two years of the policy issue date. We will then return the policy value reduced by any outstanding debt and refund any monthly deductions and other fees and charges. Incontestability We may not contest this policy or any attached rider after it has been in force for two years during which the insured person is alive. Change of Owner or Beneficiary 3 The beneficiary you name in the policy application, or subsequently change, will receive the policy benefits upon death of the insured person. If your named beneficiary dies before then, the named contingent beneficiary, if any, will become the beneficiary. If there is no surviving or named beneficiary, we will pay the death benefit to you or to your estate. You may change the policy owner and the beneficiary as long as the policy remains in force. Changes must be made by written request, in a form satisfactory to us. A beneficiary change will take effect as of the date you sign the written notice, regardless of whether the insured person is living when we receive the notice. However, we will not be liable for any payment made or action taken before we receive your written notice. Misstatements If you incorrectly state the age or gender of the insured person, we will adjust the face amount to reflect the correct cost of insurance rate. The adjusted death benefit will equal the coverage our most recent cost of insurance deduction would provide based on the insured persons' correct personal information. Surplus This nonparticipating policy does not pay dividends. You will not share in PHL Variable's surplus earnings. Underwriter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation ("PEPCO"), an affiliate of PHL Variable, as underwriter offers these contracts on a continuous basis. PEPCO is not compensated for any underwriting commissions. All underwriting commissions costs are borne directly by PHL Variable. PEPCO's principal business address is 56 Prospect Street, Hartford, Connecticut 06103.

Information Sharing Agreements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHL Variable has entered into information sharing agreements with the underlying funds as required by Rule 22c-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The purpose of the information sharing is to monitor, and, if necessary, warn and restrict policy owners who may be engaging in disruptive trading practices as determined by PHL Variable or the underlying funds in accordance with their established policies. Performance History -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yield of the Phoenix Money Market Series. We calculate the yield of the Phoenix Money Market Series for a 7-day "base period" by determining the "net change in value" of a hypothetical pre-existing account. We assume the hypothetical account had an initial balance of one share of the series at the beginning of the base period. We then determine what the value of the hypothetical account would have been at the end of the 7-day base period. We assume no policy charges were deducted from the hypothetical account. The end value minus the initial value gives us the net change in value for the hypothetical account. The net change in value can then be divided by the initial value giving us the base period return (one week's return). To find the equivalent annual return we multiply the base period return by 365/7. The equivalent effective annual yield differs from the annual return because we assume all returns are reinvested in the investment option. We carry results to the nearest hundredth of one percent. Example Calculation: The following example of a return/yield calculation for the Phoenix Money Market Series is based on the 7-day period ending December 31, 2007 : Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with exactly one unit at the beginning of the period:........................................ $1.000000 Value of the same account (excluding capital changes) at the end of the 7-day period:................................................... $1.000792 Calculation: Ending account value................................................ $1.000792 Less beginning account value........................................ $1.000000 Net change in account value......................................... $0.000792 Base period return: (adjusted change/beginning account value)........................... $0.000791 Current annual yield = return x (365/7) =............................. 4.12% Effective annual yield = [(1 + return)/365/7/] - 1 =.................. 4.21%
The current yield and effective yield information will fluctuate. Yield and return information may not provide a suitable basis for comparison with bank deposits or other investments which are insured and/or pay a fixed yield for a stated period of time, or other investment companies, due to charges which will be deducted on the Separate Account level. Total Return: We will usually advertise the average annual total return for a investment option calculated for one year, three years, five years, ten years and since the inception date of the underlying portfolio. We assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value but do not account for the deduction of any of the daily or monthly charges made under the policy. Performance is the compounded return for the time period indicated, net of all fund level fees. Returns for the periods greater than one year are annualized. Performance does not include the effects of product charges, including any or all of the following: issue, sales and tax charges; mortality and expense risk fees; cost of insurance charges; administrative and transfer fees; and surrender charges. If these charges were reflected in these returns, performance would be significantly lower than shown. Please obtain a personalized illustration by contacting your registered representative. The illustration will show all applicable charges deducted, including the cost of insurance. Since investment option performance fluctuates, the policy value, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Withdrawals will affect the policy value and death benefit. You may obtain a copy of the most up-to-date performance numbers from your registered representative. We may include information about a series' or an advisor's investment strategies and management style in advertisements, sales literature and other communications. An advisor may alter investment strategies and style in response to changing market and economic conditions. A fund may advertise all or part of a series' portfolio holdings, including holdings in specific industries. A fund may also separately illustrate the income and capital gains portions of a series' total return. A fund may also advertise performance by dividing returns into equity and debt components. A series may compare its returns to any of a number of well-known benchmarks of market performance; including, but not limited to: The Dow Jones Industrial Average/SM /("DJIA") CS First Boston High Yield Index Citigroup Corporate Index Citigroup Government Bond Index Standard & Poor's 500 Index(R) ("S&P 500")
Each investment option may include its yield and total return in advertisements or communications with current or prospective policy owners. Each investment option may also include in such advertisements, its ranking or comparison to similar mutual funds by such organizations as: Lipper Analytical Services Morningstar, Inc. Thomson Financial
A fund may also compare a series' performance to other investment or savings vehicles (such as certificates of deposit) and may refer to results published in such publications as: Barron's Business Week Changing Times Consumer Reports Financial Planning Financial Services Weekly Forbes Fortune Investor's Business Daily Money The New York Times Personal Investor Registered Representative U.S. News and World Report The Wall Street Journal DJIA is an unweighted index of 30 industrial "blue chip" U.S. stocks. It is the oldest continuing U.S. market index. The 30 stocks now in the DJIA are both widely-held and a major influence in their respective industries. The average is computed in such a way as to preserve its historical continuity and account for such factors as stock splits and periodic changes in the components of the index. The editors of The Wall Street Journal select the component stocks of the DJIA. The S&P 500 is a free-float market capitalization-weighted index composed of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is one of the most widely used indicators of U.S. stock market performance. The composition of the S&P 500 changes from time to time. Standard & Poor's Index Committee makes all decisions about the S&P 500. Weighted and unweighted indexes: A market-value, or capitalization, weighted index uses relative market value (share price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) to "weight" the influence of a stock's price on the index. Simply put, larger companies' stock prices influence the index more than smaller companies' stock prices. An unweighted index (such as the DJIA) uses stock price alone to determine the index value. A company's relative size has no bearing on its impact on the index. The funds' annual reports, available upon request and without charge, contain a discussion of the performance of the funds and a comparison of that performance to a securities market index. You may obtain an Annual Report by contacting your registered representative or VULA at the address and telephone number on page one. Additional Information about Charges -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reduction in Charges We may reduce or eliminate the mortality and expense risk charge, monthly administrative charge, monthly cost of insurance charges, surrender charges or other charges normally assessed where we expect that factors below will result in savings of sales, underwriting, administrative or other costs. Eligibility for the amount of these reductions will be determined by a number of factors including: . the number of insureds, . total premiums expected to be paid, . total assets under management for the policyowner, . the nature of the relationship among individual insureds, . the purpose for which the policies are being purchased, . where there is a preexisting relationship with us, such as being an employee of PHL Variable or its affiliates and their spouses; or employees or agents who retire from PHL Variable or its affiliates or Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation ("PEPCO"), or its affiliates or registered representatives of the principal underwriter and registered representatives of broker-dealers with whom PEPCO has selling agreements, . internal transfers from other policies or contracts issued by the company or an affiliate, or making transfers of amounts held under qualified plans sponsored by the company or an affiliate, and . other circumstances which in our opinion are rationally related to the expected reduction in expenses. Any variations in the charge structure will be determined in a uniform manner, reflecting differences in costs of services and not unfairly discriminatory to policyholders. Safekeeping of the Separate Account's Assets -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We hold the assets of the Separate Account separate and apart from our General Account. We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of fund shares. State Regulation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are subject to the provisions of the Connecticut insurance laws applicable to life insurance companies 6 and to regulation and supervision by the Connecticut Superintendent of Insurance. We also are subject to the applicable insurance laws of all the other states and jurisdictions in which we do insurance business. State regulation of PHL Variable includes certain limitations on investments we may make, including investments for the Separate Account and the Guaranteed Interest Account. State regulation does not include any supervision over the Separate Account's investment policies. Reports -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We will provide all policy owners with all reports required by the 1940 Act and related regulations or by any other applicable law or regulation. Experts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The financial statements of PHLVIC Variable Universal Life Account as of December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the periods indicated and the financial statements of PHL Variable Insurance Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 included in this Prospectus have been so included in reliance on the reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

Comparative year information for the year ended December 31, 2004 and prior year financial highlight data (December 31, 2003 through December 31, 2004) have been reformatted to be consistent with the 2005, 2006 and 2007 disclosures. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from PHL Variable's other asset and liabilities. The portion of the Separate Account's assets applicable to the variable annuity contracts is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business PHL Variable may conduct. SA - 47 PHLVIC VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE ACCOUNT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Note 2--Significant Accounting Policies The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Separate Account, which are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the investment company industry: A. Valuation of investments: Investments are made exclusively in the Funds and are valued at the reported net asset values per share of the respective investment options. B. Investment transactions and related income: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on the sales of shares of the Funds are computed on the basis of the identified cost of the share sold. Dividend income and gains from investments are recorded on the ex-distribution date. C. Income taxes: The Separate Account is not a separate entity from Phoenix, and under current federal income tax law, income arising from the Separate Account is not taxed since reserves are established equivalent to such income. Therefore, no provision for related federal taxes is required. D. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. E. Distributions: Distributions from the Funds are recorded by each investment option on the ex-dividend date. F. Fair Value Measurements: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS 157. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 provides guidance on how to measure fair value when required under existing accounting standards. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels ("Level 1, 2 and 3"). Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs reflecting our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). We have adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

-------- * Amount is less than 0.005%. + Amount is less than 500 units. ++ Amount is less than $500. /1/ The investment income ratios represent the annualized dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Option from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the daily average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the Investment Option is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Investment Option invests. /2/ The expense ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction of unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded. /3/ The total returns are for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and the expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed throughout the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. Total return is presented as the minimum and maximum return for the units invested in the Investment Option. While the Investment Option may be active in a given year, certain units may be initiated during the year. The corresponding return on those units, which is for the partial year, may cause the minimum and maximum total return for all the units in that Investment Option to deviate outside the range of the expense ratios presented. /4/ From inception January 21, 2003 to December 31, 2003. /5/ From inception January 27, 2003 to December 31, 2003. /6/ From inception January 28, 2003 to December 31, 2003.

At the time the loan is granted, an amount equivalent to the amount of the loan is transferred from the Separate Account and the non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account to the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account, part of Phoenix's general account as collateral for the outstanding loan. Transfers from the account are included as transfers for contract benefits and terminations in the accompanying financial statements. Amounts in the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account are credited with interest. Interest rates vary by product. Loan repayments result in a transfer of collateral back to the Separate Account and the non-loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account. Note 7--Fees and Related Party Transactions Phoenix and its affiliate, Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation ("PEPCO"), a registered broker/dealer in securities, provide all services to the Separate Account. PEPCO is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Separate Account. Certain fees are deducted from the Contracts. To understand all of the charges that are assessed for your individual policy you should refer to your policy contract provided to you at issue or the most recent product prospectus provided to you annually. Those fees are described below: A) Contract Maintenance Charges The Separate Account is assessed periodic Contract Maintenance Charges which are designed to compensate PHL Variable for certain costs associated with maintenance. These expenses are included in a separate line item entitled "Contract Maintenance Charges" in the accompanying statements of changes in net assets. The total aggregate expense for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $5,187,283 and $2,814,388, respectively. The charges assessed the Separate Account for Contract Maintenance Charges are outlined as follows: Administration Charge - In accordance with terms of the contracts, Phoenix may make deductions for administrative charges. Because a policy's face amount and policy duration may vary, the administrative charge may also vary. Policy Surrender Charge - In accordance with terms of the contracts, Phoenix makes deductions for surrender charges. Because a policy's account value and policy duration may vary, the surrender charge may also vary. Cost of Insurance Charge - In accordance with terms of the contracts, Phoenix makes deductions for costs of insurance to cover Phoenix's anticipated mortality costs. Because a policy's account value and death benefit may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may also vary. Other Charges - Phoenix may deduct other costs depending on the policy terms. All of the above expenses are taken out as a redemption of units. B) Optional Rider and Benefit Charges Phoenix may deduct other charges and fees based on the selection of Other Optional Policy Benefits and Riders. These expenses are included in a separate line item entitled "Transfers for contract benefits and terminations" in the accompanying statements of changes in net assets. This expense is taken out as a redemption of units. SA - 62 PHLVIC VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE ACCOUNT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Note 7--Fees and Related Party Transactions (Continued) C) Mortality and Expense Fee and Administration Fee charges Phoenix will make deductions at a maximum rate of 0.48% of the contracts value for the mortality and expense risks and 0% for administration fees, which the company undertakes. These expenses are included in separate line items "Mortality and Expense Fees" and "Administration Fees" in the accompanying statements of operations. The total aggregate expense for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $8,964 and $2,396, respectively. This expense is taken out as a reduction of unit values. In accordance with the terms of the contracts, other mortality and expense fee charges and administration fee charges may be taken out as transfers for contract benefits and terminations. Note 8--Distribution of Net Income The Separate Account does not declare distributions to participants from accumulated net income. The accumulated net income is distributed to participants as part of withdrawals of amounts in the form of surrenders, death benefits, transfers or annuity payments in excess of net purchase payments. Note 9--Diversification Requirements Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") as amended, a variable contract, other than a contract issued in connection with certain types of employee benefit plans, will not be treated as a variable contract for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified. Each investment option is required to satisfy the requirements of Section 817(h). The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either the statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. PHL Variable intends that each of the investment options shall comply with the diversification requirements and, in the event of any failure to comply, will take immediate corrective action to assure compliance.

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS PHL Variable Insurance Company is a life insurance company offering variable and fixed annuity and non-participating life insurance products. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PM Holdings, Inc. PM Holdings, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix Life Insurance Company (Phoenix Life), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (PNX), a New York Stock Exchange listed company. Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company demutualized on June 25, 2001 by converting from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNX and changed its name to Phoenix Life Insurance Company. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES We have prepared these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which differ materially from the accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities. We have reclassified certain amounts for 2006 and 2005 to conform with the 2007 presentation. USE OF ESTIMATES In preparing these financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We employ significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of deferred policy acquisition costs; policyholder liabilities and accruals; the valuation of investments in debt and equity securities; and accruals for deferred income taxes and contingent liabilities. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS We adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized an increase in reserves for uncertain tax benefits through a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $1,000 thousand, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. Including the cumulative effect adjustment, we had $1,840 thousand of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, impact the annual effective tax rate upon recognition. See Note 9 to these financial statements for more information. In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance for how errors should be evaluated to assess materiality from a quantitative perspective. SAB 108 permits companies to initially apply its provisions by either restating prior financial statements or recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the approach as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. We adopted SAB 108 on December 31, 2006 with no effect on our financial statements. In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 provides guidance on recognition and disclosure of servicing assets and liabilities and was effective beginning January 1, 2007. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2007 with no material impact on our financial position and results of operations. F-7 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments" (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 resolves certain issues surrounding the accounting for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. Our adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material effect on our financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted FASB Staff Position Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments" (FSP 115-1). FSP 115-1 provides guidance as to the determination of other-than-temporarily impaired securities and requires certain financial disclosures with respect to unrealized losses. These accounting and disclosure requirements largely codify our existing practices as to other-than-temporarily impaired securities and thus, our adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements. In September 2005, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSEC) of the AICPA's issued Statement of Position 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 SFAS No. 97. The SOP 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. This SOP is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2007 with no material effect on our financial position and results of operations. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Accounting for Business Combinations" (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and requires the acquirer to disclose all information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the combination and is effective beginning for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2009 and do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the same way--as equity in the consolidated financial statements and requires that associated transactions be treated as equity transactions--and is effective beginning for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2009 and do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. In June 2007, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 07-1, "Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide "Investment Companies" and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies" (SOP 07-1). SOP 07-1 broadens the definition of an investment company for application of this guidance. It provides that an entity that meets the definition of an investment company use fair value as a basis of accounting and reporting and that a parent retains the specialized fair value accounting of the entity if certain criteria are met. On February 14, 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date of SOP 07-1 indefinitely. On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS 159), which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value (i.e., the fair value option), on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. Additionally, SFAS 159 allows for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. We adopted SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2008 with no material effect on our financial statements. F-8 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 provides guidance on how to measure fair value when required under existing accounting standards. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels ("Level 1, 2 and 3"). Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs reflecting our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will focus on the inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and the effects of the measurements in the financial statements. We adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. We do not expect adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES INVESTMENTS Debt and equity securities Our debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are reported on our balance sheet at fair value. Fair value is based on quoted market price, where available. When quoted market prices are not available, we estimate fair value by discounting debt security cash flows to reflect interest rates currently being offered on similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality (private placement debt securities), by quoted market prices of comparable instruments (untraded public debt securities) and by independent pricing sources or internally developed pricing models (equity securities). We recognize unrealized investment gains and losses on investments in debt and equity securities that we classify as available-for-sale. We report these unrealized investment gains and losses as a component of other comprehensive income, net of applicable deferred policy acquisition costs and applicable deferred income taxes. For mortgage-backed and other asset-backed debt securities, we recognize income using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic lives of the securities. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income. For certain asset-backed securities, changes in estimated yield are recorded on a prospective basis and specific valuation methods are applied to these securities to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in value. Policy loans Policy loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances and are collateralized by the cash values of the related policies. We estimate the fair value of fixed rate policy loans by discounting loan interest and loan repayments. We base the discount rate on the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate. We assume that loan interest payments are made at the fixed rate less 17.5 basis points and that loan repayments only occur as a result of anticipated policy lapses. For variable rate policy loans, we consider the unpaid loan balance as fair value, as interest rates on these loans are reset annually based on market rates. Other investments Other investments primarily include other partnership interests in which we do not have control or a majority ownership interest and are recorded using the equity method of accounting. We record the net income from investments in partnerships in net investment income. F-9 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, money market instruments and other debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting, distribution and policy issue expenses, all of which vary with and are primarily related to production of new business, are deferred. We amortize deferred policy acquisition costs based on the related policy's classification. For individual life insurance policies, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to estimated gross margins. For universal life, variable universal life and accumulation annuities, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to estimated gross profits (EGPs). Policies may be surrendered for value or exchanged for a different one of our products (internal replacement). The deferred policy acquisition costs balance associated with the replaced or surrendered policies is amortized to reflect these surrenders. Each year, we develop future EGPs for the products sold during that year. The EGPs for products sold in a particular year are aggregated into cohorts. Future EGPs are projected for the estimated lives of the contracts. The amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs requires the use of various assumptions, estimates and judgments about the future. The assumptions, in the aggregate, are considered important in the projections of EGPs. The assumptions developed as part of our annual process are based on our current best estimates of future events, which are likely to be different for each year's cohort. Assumptions considered to be significant in the development of EGPs include separate account fund performance, surrender and lapse rates, interest margin, mortality, premium persistency, funding patterns and expenses. These assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and are based on our past experience, industry studies, regulatory requirements and estimates about the future. To determine the reasonableness of the prior assumptions used and their impact on previously projected account values and the related EGPs, we evaluate, on a quarterly basis, our previously projected EGPs. Our process to assess the reasonableness of our EGPs involves the use of internally developed models, together with studies and actual experience. Incorporated in each scenario are our current best estimate assumptions with respect to separate account returns, surrender and lapse rates, interest margin, mortality, premium persistency, funding patterns and expenses. Underlying assumptions for future periods of EGPs are not altered unless experience deviates significantly from original assumptions. For example, when lapses of our insurance products meaningfully exceed levels assumed in determining the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, we adjust amortization to reflect the change in future premiums or EGPs resulting from the unexpected lapses. In the event that we were to revise assumptions used for prior year cohorts, our estimate of projected account values would change and the related EGPs in the deferred policy acquisition cost amortization model would be adjusted to reflect such change. This process is known as "unlocking". Continued favorable experience on key assumptions, which could include increasing separate account fund return performance, decreasing lapses or decreasing mortality could result in an unlocking which would result in a decrease to deferred policy acquisition cost amortization and an increase in the deferred policy acquisition costs asset. Finally, an analysis is performed periodically to assess whether there are sufficient gross margins or gross profits to amortize the remaining deferred policy acquisition costs balances. SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Separate account assets and liabilities related to policyholder funds are carried at fair value. Deposits, net investment income and realized investment gains and losses for these accounts are excluded from revenues, and the related liability increases are excluded from benefits and expenses. Fees assessed to the contractholders for management services are included in revenues when services are rendered. F-10 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS Policy liabilities and accruals includes future benefit liabilities for certain life and annuity products. We establish liabilities in amounts adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force. Future benefit liabilities for traditional life insurance are computed using the net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions as to contractual guaranteed rates of interest, mortality rates guaranteed in calculating the cash surrender values described in such contracts and morbidity. Future benefit liabilities for term and annuities in the payout phase that have significant mortality risk are computed using the net premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions at the issue date of these contracts for rates of interest, contract administrative expenses, mortality and surrenders. We establish liabilities for outstanding claims, losses and loss adjustment expenses based on individual case estimates for reported losses and estimates of unreported losses based on past experience. Certain contracts may also include additional death or other insurance benefit features, such as guaranteed minimum death or income benefits offered with variable annuity contracts or no-lapse guarantees offered with universal life insurance contracts. An additional liability is established for these benefits by estimating the expected present value of the excess benefits and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. POLICYHOLDER DEPOSIT FUNDS Amounts received as payment for certain universal life contracts, deferred annuities and other contracts without life contingencies are reported as deposits to Policyholder deposit funds. The liability for universal life-type contracts is equal to the balance that accrues to the benefit of the policyholders as of the financial statement date, including interest credited, amounts that have been assessed to compensate us for services to be performed over future periods, and any amounts previously assessed against the policyholder that is refundable. The liability for deferred annuities and other contracts without life contingencies is equal to the balance that accrues to the benefit of the contract holder as of the financial statement date which includes the accumulation of deposits plus interest credited, less withdrawals and amounts assessed through the financial statement date. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Amounts related to contingent liabilities are accrued if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. REVENUE RECOGNITION We recognize premiums for long-duration life insurance products as revenue when due from policyholders. We recognize life insurance premiums for short-duration life insurance products as premium revenue pro rata over the related contract periods. We match benefits, losses and related expenses with premiums over the related contract periods. Amounts received as payment for interest sensitive life contracts, deferred annuities and other contracts without life contingencies are considered deposits and are not included in revenue. Revenues from these products consist primarily of fees assessed during the period against the policyholders' account balances for mortality charges, policy administration charges and surrender charges. Fees assessed that represent compensation for services to be provided in the future are deferred and amortized into revenue over the life of the related contracts. Related benefit expenses include universal life benefit claims in excess of fund values, net investment income credited to policyholders' account balances and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. F-11 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NET INVESTMENT INCOME AND NET REALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS (LOSSES) We recognize realized investment gains (losses) on asset dispositions on a first-in, first-out basis. We recognize realized investment losses when declines in fair value of debt and equity securities are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. We adjust the cost basis of these written down investments to fair value at the date the determination of impairment is made and do not change the new cost basis for subsequent recoveries in value. In evaluating whether a decline in value is other than temporary, we consider several factors including, but not limited to the following: . the extent and the duration of the decline; . the reasons for the decline in value (credit event, interest related or market fluctuations); . our ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value; and . the financial condition of and near term prospects of the issuer. INCOME TAXES We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Accordingly, income tax expense or benefit is recognized based upon amounts reported in the financial statements and the provisions of currently enacted tax laws. We allocate income taxes to income, other comprehensive income and additional paid-in capital, as applicable. We recognize current income tax assets and liabilities for estimated income taxes refundable or payable based on the current year's income tax returns. We recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future income tax effects of temporary differences and carryovers. Temporary differences are the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, as well as the timing of income or expense recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes of items not related to assets or liabilities. If necessary, we establish valuation allowances to reduce the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. We periodically review the adequacy of these valuation allowances and record any reduction in allowances in accordance with SFAS 109's intraperiod allocation rules. We recognize interest and penalties related to amounts accrued on uncertain tax positions and amounts paid or refunded from federal and state income tax authorities in tax expense. 3. REINSURANCE We use reinsurance agreements to provide for greater diversification of business, control exposure to potential losses arising from large risks and provide capacity for growth. We remain liable to the extent that reinsuring companies may not be able to meet their obligations under reinsurance agreements in effect. Failure of the reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to us; consequently, we establish reserves for amounts deemed or estimated to be uncollectible. To minimize our exposure to significant losses from reinsurance insolvencies, we evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentration of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers. F-12 3. REINSURANCE (CONTINUED) Our reinsurance program varies based on the type of risk, for example: . On direct policies, the maximum of individual life insurance retained by us on any one life is $10 million on single life and joint first-to-die policies and $12 million for joint last-to-die policies, with excess amounts ceded to reinsurers. . We cede 80% to 90% of the mortality risk on most new issues of term insurance. . In August 2006, we entered into an agreement to cede 50% of the risk on policies issued from July 1, 2002 through December 31, 2005, inclusive, with a net amount at risk of $2 million or greater. . On January 1, 1996, we entered into a reinsurance agreement that covers 100% of the excess death benefits and related reserves for most variable annuity policies issued from January 1, 1983 through December 31, 1999, including subsequent deposits. We retain the guaranteed minimum death benefit risks on the remaining variable deferred annuities in force that are not covered by this reinsurance arrangement. . We cede to Phoenix Life 100% of the guaranteed minimum accumulation and withdrawal benefits on our variable annuities. . Effective January 1, 2008, we entered into an agreement to cede 75% of the risk in excess of $6.0 million on universal life and variable universal life policies issued from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007.

During 2007, we updated our system for calculating the SOP 03-1 reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefits, resulting in a release in the benefit reserve and a corresponding increase in deferred policy acquisition cost amortization for the quarter. The effects of these adjustments resulted in an overall $1,649 thousand pre-tax benefit to net income. During 2006, we benefited from an unlocking of assumptions primarily related to deferred policy acquisition costs. The unlocking was driven by revised assumptions for expected mortality, lapse experience, investment margins and expenses. The effects of the unlocking resulted in an overall $6.7 million pre-tax charge to net income, as well as increased unearned revenue liabilities by $1.3 million, increased benefit reserves by $4.5 million, increased reinsurance liability by $1.2 million and decreased amortization by $0.4 million. 5. POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS Policyholder liabilities are primarily for universal life products and include deposits received from customers and investment earnings on their fund balances which range from 3.00% to 5.25% as of December 31, 2007, less administrative and mortality charges. POLICYHOLDER DEPOSIT FUNDS Policyholder deposit funds primarily consist of annuity deposits received from customers, dividend accumulations and investment earnings on their fund balances, which range from 2.9% to 14.0% as of December 31, 2007, less administrative charges. 6.

7. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS, DEATH BENEFITS AND OTHER INSURANCE BENEFIT FEATURES Separate account products are those for which a separate investment and liability account is maintained on behalf of the policyholder. Investment objectives for these separate accounts vary by fund account type, as outlined in the applicable fund prospectus or separate account plan of operations. Our separate account products include variable annuities and variable life insurance contracts. The assets supporting these contracts are carried at fair value and reported as Separate account assets with an equivalent amount reported as Separate account liabilities. Amounts assessed against the policyholder for mortality, administration, and other services are included within revenue in Insurance and investment product fees. In 2007 and 2006 there were no gains or losses on transfers of assets from the general account to a separate account. Many of our variable contracts offer various guaranteed minimum death, accumulation, withdrawal and income benefits. These benefits are offered in various forms as described below. We currently reinsure a significant portion of the death benefit guarantees associated with our in-force block of business. We establish policy benefit liabilities for minimum death and income benefit guarantees relating to certain annuity policies as follows: . Liabilities associated with the guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used for calculating the liabilities are generally consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs. . Liabilities associated with the guaranteed minimum income benefit (GMIB) are determined by estimating the expected value of the income benefits in excess of the projected account balance at the date of annuitization and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used for calculating such guaranteed income benefit liabilities are generally consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs. For annuities with GMDB, 200 stochastically generated scenarios were used. For annuities with GMIB, we used 1,000 stochastically generated scenarios.

The reinsurance recoverable asset related to the GMDB was $1,335 thousand and $17,139 thousand as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The GMDB and GMIB guarantees are recorded in policy liabilities and accruals on our balance sheet. Changes in the liability are recorded in Policy benefits on our statement of operations. In a manner consistent with our policy for deferred policy acquisition costs, we regularly evaluate estimates used and adjust the additional liability balances, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. We also offer certain variable products with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB), a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit (GMAB) and a guaranteed pay-out annuity floor (GPAF). The GMWB guarantees the policyholder a minimum amount of withdrawals and benefit payments over time, regardless of the investment performance of the contract, subject to an annual limit. Optional resets are available. In addition, we have introduced a feature for these contracts beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005 that allows the policyholder to receive the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount for as long as they are alive. The GMAB rider provides the contract holder with a minimum accumulation of their purchase payments deposited within a specific time period, adjusted for withdrawals, after a specified amount of time determined at the time of issuance of the variable annuity contract. The GPAF rider provides the policyholder with a minimum payment amount if the variable annuity payment falls below this amount on the payment calculation date. The GMWB, GMAB and GPAF represent embedded derivatives in the variable annuity contracts that are required to be reported separately from the host variable annuity contract. They are carried at fair value and reported in policyholder deposit funds. The fair value of the GMWB, GMAB and GPAF obligation is calculated based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to the projected cash flows, including benefits and related contract charges, over the lives of the contracts, incorporating expectations concerning policyholder behavior. As markets change, mature and evolve and actual policyholder behavior emerges, management continually evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions. F-19 7. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS, DEATH BENEFITS AND OTHER INSURANCE BENEFIT FEATURES (CONTINUED) In order to minimize the volatility associated with the GMWB and GMAB liabilities, we have entered into a contract with Phoenix Life whereby we cede 100% of any claims for these guarantees. Because this contract does not transfer sufficient risk to be accounted for as reinsurance, we use deposit accounting for the contract. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the embedded derivative for GMWB and GMAB was immaterial. There were no benefit payments made for the GMWB or GMAB during 2007 or 2006. See Note 10 to these financial statements for more information. For those guarantees of benefits that are payable in the event of death, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date. For guarantees of benefits that are payable upon annuitization, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the present value of the minimum guaranteed annuity payments available to the policyholder determined in accordance with the terms of the contract in excess of the current account balance. For guarantees of accumulation balances, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the guaranteed minimum accumulation balance minus the current account balance.

With the return of premium, the death benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (less any adjusted partial withdrawals). With the step up, the death benefit is the greater of current account value, premiums paid (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) or the annual step up amount prior of the eldest original owner attaining a certain age. On and after the eldest original owner attains that age, the death benefit is the greater of current account value or the death benefit at the end of the contract year prior to the eldest original owner's attaining that age plus premium payments (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) made since that date. With EEB, the death benefit is the greater of the premiums paid (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) or the current account value plus the EEB. The EEB is an additional amount designed to reduce the impact of taxes associated with distributing contract gains upon death. With greater of annual step up and annual roll up, the death benefit is the greater of premium payments (less any adjusted partial withdrawals), the annual step up amount, the annual roll up amount or the current account value prior to the eldest original owner attaining age 81. On and after the eldest original owner attained age 81, the death benefit is the greater of current account value or the death benefit at the end of the contract year prior to the eldest original owner's attained age of 81 plus premium payments (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) made since that date. Liabilities for universal life are generally determined by estimating the expected value of losses when death benefits exceed revenues and recognizing those benefits ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used in estimating these liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs. A single set of best estimate assumptions is used since these insurance benefits do not vary significantly with capital markets volatility. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, we held additional universal life benefit reserves of $25,930 thousand and $8,841 thousand, respectively. F-20 8.

FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENT CONTRACTS We determine the fair value of deferred annuities with an interest guarantee of one year or less at the amount of the policy reserve. In determining the fair value of deferred annuities with interest guarantees greater than one year, we use a discount rate equal to the appropriate U.S. Treasury rate plus 100 basis points to determine the present value of the projected account value of the policy at the end of the current guarantee period. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS We maintain an overall interest rate risk-management strategy that primarily incorporates the use of interest rate swaps as hedges of our exposure to changes in interest rates. Our exposure to changes in interest rates primarily results from our commitments to fund interest-sensitive insurance liabilities, as well as from our significant holdings of fixed rate financial instruments. We recognized an after-tax gain of $0.0 million, $1.2 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 (reported as other comprehensive income in Statement of Income, Comprehensive Income and Changes in Stockholder's Equity), which represented the change in fair value of interest rate forward swaps which had been designated as cash flow hedges of the forecasted purchase of assets. For changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges of a forecasted transaction, we recognize the change in fair value of the derivative in other comprehensive income. Amounts related to cash flow hedges that are accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction (the acquired asset) affects earnings. For the years 2007, 2006 and 2005, we reclassified after-tax gains of $0.0 million, $1.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, into earnings related to these derivatives. We held no derivative assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006. See Note 7 to these financial statements for more information on our embedded derivatives related to our variable annuity guarantees.

We are included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by PNX and are party to a tax sharing agreement by and among PNX and its subsidiaries. In accordance with this agreement, federal income taxes are allocated as if they had been calculated on a separate company basis, except that benefits for any net operating losses or other tax credits used to offset a tax liability of the consolidated group will be provided to the extent such loss or credit is utilized in the consolidated federal tax return. We are included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by PNX. Within the consolidated tax return, we are required by regulations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to segregate the entities into two groups: life insurance companies and non-life insurance companies. We are limited as to the amount of any operating losses from the non-life group that can be offset against taxable income of the life group. These limitations may affect the amount of any operating loss carryovers that we have now or in the future. We have determined, based on our earnings and projected future taxable income, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006 will be realized. As of December 31, 2007, we had current taxes receivable of $10,184 thousand. F-22 9. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized a decrease in reserves for uncertain tax benefits through a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $1,000 thousand, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. Including the cumulative effect adjustment, we had approximately $1,840 thousand of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, impact the annual effective rate upon recognition. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
RECONCILIATION OF THE BEGINNING AND ENDING AMOUNT OF UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS: ($ in thousands) Balance at January 1, 2007............................................. $1,840 Reductions for tax positions of prior years............................ (975) Settlements with taxing authorities.................................... (340) ------ BALANCE AT DECEMBER 31, 2007........................................... $ 525 ======
Based upon the timing and status of our current examinations by taxing authorities, we do not believe that it is reasonably possible that any changes to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits occurring in the next 12 months will result in a significant change to the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, we do not anticipate that there will be additional payments made or refunds received within the next 12 months with respect to the years under audit. We do not anticipate any increases to the unrecognized tax benefits that would have a significant impact on the financial position of the company. Our federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the IRS. We are no longer subject to income tax examinations by federal authorities for tax years prior to 2004. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2004 and 2005 are currently being examined. We do not believe that the examination will result in a material change in our financial position. We are not currently under audit with any state taxing authorities. We recognize interest and penalties related to amounts accrued on uncertain tax positions and amounts paid or refunded from federal and state income tax authorities in tax expense. The interest and penalties recorded during the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2006 and 2007 were not material. We did not have an accrual for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2007. 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Capital Contributions During the year ended December 31, 2007, we received $49,984 thousand in capital contributions from Phoenix Life, of which $25,000 thousand was in cash and $24,984 was in securities. Related Party Transactions The amounts included in the following discussion are gross expenses, before deferrals for policy acquisition costs. Phoenix Life provides services and facilities to us and is reimbursed through a cost allocation process. The expenses allocated to us were $270,394 thousand, $203,521 thousand and $108,701 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amounts payable to Phoenix Life were $11,767 thousand and $18,650 thousand as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. F-23 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED) During 2006, we entered into a contract with Phoenix Life whereby we cede to Phoenix Life the liabilities related to certain guarantees on our annuity products. Because this contract does not transfer sufficient risk to qualify for reinsurance accounting, we account for ceded liabilities as a deposit asset. The asset on deposit with Phoenix Life was $3,051 thousand and $220 thousand at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This amount is included in our balance sheet in other general account assets. Amounts due to Phoenix Life under this contract were $336 thousand and $215 thousand at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Phoenix Investment Partners Ltd. (PXP), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNX, through its affiliated registered investment advisors, provides investment advisory services to us for a fee. Investment advisory fees incurred by us for management of general account assets under this arrangement were $2,172 thousand, $2,439 thousand and $2,993 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amounts payable to the affiliated investment advisors were $15 thousand and $106 thousand, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Through July 2007 PXP provided investment advisory services to the variable product separate accounts. They received variable product separate account fees on our behalf, retained a portion of those fees, for services provided, and forward the remainder to us. Amounts receivable from PXP for those fees were $0 thousand and $245 thousand as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The variable product separate account fees retained by PXP were $271 thousand, $684 thousand and $697 thousand for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Effective August 2007, Phoenix Variable Advisors, Inc. (PVA), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix Life, became the investment advisor for the variable product separate accounts. They receive variable product separate account fees on our behalf and forward them to us, net of sub-advisory fees they paid. Amounts receivable from PVA for those fees were $276 thousand as of December 31, 2007. Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation (PEPCO), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PXP, is the principal underwriter of our annuity contracts. Until May 31, 2004, contracts could be purchased through registered representatives of our former affiliate, W.S. Griffith Securities, Inc. (Griffith). Other outside broker-dealers are licensed to sell our annuity contracts as well. We incurred commissions for contracts underwritten by PEPCO of $48,331 thousand, $38,062 thousand and $35,422 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amounts payable to PEPCO were $2,269 thousand and $278 thousand as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Phoenix Life pays commissions to producers who sell our non-registered life and annuity products. Commissions paid by Phoenix Life on our behalf were $159,847 thousand, $105,993 thousand and $54,927 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amounts payable to Phoenix Life were $13,684 thousand and $4,187 thousand as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. PREMIUM PROCESSING SERVICES We provide payment processing services for Phoenix Life, wherein we receive deposits on Phoenix Life annuity contracts, and forward those payments to Phoenix Life. During 2006, we began including life insurance premiums in this service. In connection with this service, at December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had amounts due to Phoenix Life of $416 thousand and $1,914 thousand, respectively. We do not charge any fees for this service. We also provide payment processing services for Phoenix Life and Annuity, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Phoenix Life, wherein we receive deposits on certain Phoenix Life and Annuity annuity contracts, and forward those payments to Phoenix Life and Annuity. During 2006, we began including life insurance premiums in this service. In connection with this service, at December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had amounts due to Phoenix Life and Annuity of $482 thousand and $16 thousand, respectively. We do not charge any fees for this service. In certain instances Phoenix Life and Phoenix Life and Annuity may receive premiums on behalf of PHLVIC. Amounts due from Phoenix Life were $237 thousand and $71 thousand as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amounts due from Phoenix Life and Annuity were $15 thousand and $0 thousand as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. F-24 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS PNX has a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees and those of its subsidiaries. Retirement benefits are a function of both years of service and level of compensation. PNX also sponsors a non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan to provide benefits in excess of amounts allowed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. PNX's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount equal to at least the minimum required contribution in accordance with minimum funding standards established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributable not only to service to date, but to service expected to be conferred in the future. PNX sponsors pension and savings plans for its employees, and employees and agents of its subsidiaries. The qualified plans comply with requirements established by ERISA and excess benefit plans provide for that portion of pension obligations, which is in excess of amounts permitted by ERISA. PNX also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for active and retired employees. We incur applicable employee benefit expenses through the process of cost allocation by PNX. In addition to its pension plans, PNX currently provides certain health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees, spouses and other eligible dependents through various plans which it sponsors. A substantial portion of PNX's affiliate employees may become eligible for these benefits upon retirement. The health care plans have varying co-payments and deductibles, depending on the plan.

Applicable information regarding the actuarial present value of vested and non-vested accumulated plan benefits, and the net assets of the plans available for benefits is omitted, as the information is not separately calculated for our participation in the plans. PNX, the plan sponsor, established an accrued liability and amounts attributable to us have been allocated. The amount of such allocated benefits is not significant to the financial statements. 12.

F-25 13. STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND REGULATORY MATTERS We are required to file annual statements with state regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities. The State of Connecticut Insurance Department (the Department) has adopted the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (the NAIC's) Accounting Practices and Procedures manual effective January 1, 2001 (NAIC SAP) as a component of its prescribed or permitted statutory accounting practices. As of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Department has not prescribed or permitted us to use any accounting practices that would materially deviate from NAIC SAP. Statutory surplus differs from equity reported in accordance with GAAP primarily because policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, investment reserves are based on different assumptions, life insurance reserves are based on different assumptions and income taxes are recorded in accordance with the Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 10, Income Taxes, which limits deferred income tax assets based on admissibility tests. Connecticut Insurance Law requires that Connecticut life insurers report their risk-based capital. Risk-based capital is based on a formula calculated by applying factors to various assets, premium and statutory reserve items. The formula takes into account the risk characteristics of the insurer, including asset risk, insurance risk, interest rate risk and business risk. Connecticut Insurance Law gives the Connecticut Commissioner of Insurance explicit regulatory authority to require various actions by, or take various actions against, insurers whose total adjusted capital does not exceed certain risk-based capital levels. Our risk-based capital was in excess of 350% of Company Action Level (the level where a life insurance enterprise must submit a comprehensive plan to state insurance regulators) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

The Connecticut Insurance Holding Company Act limits the maximum amount of annual dividends and other distributions in any 12-month period to stockholders of Connecticut domiciled insurance companies without prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner. Under current law, we cannot make any dividend distribution during 2008 without prior approval. 14. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Litigation and Arbitration We are regularly involved in litigation and arbitration, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation and arbitration naming us as a defendant ordinarily involves our activities as an insurer, investor, or taxpayer. It is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all legal or arbitration proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. We believe that the outcomes of our litigation and arbitration matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation and arbitration, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. F-26 14. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED) Regulatory Matters State regulatory bodies, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries of us and, from time to time, conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws and securities laws. We endeavor to respond to such inquiries in an appropriate way and to take corrective action if warranted. In addition, federal and state regulatory authorities from time to time make inquiries and conduct examinations regarding compliance by Phoenix Life and its subsidiaries with securities and other laws and regulations affecting their registered products. We endeavor to respond to such inquiries in an appropriate way and to take corrective action if warranted. There has been a significant increase in federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, with a number of recent regulatory inquiries focusing on late-trading, market timing and valuation issues. Our products entitle us to impose restrictions on transfers between separate account sub-accounts associated with our variable products. In 2005, the Boston District Office of the SEC completed a compliance examination of certain of PNX's affiliates that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Following the examination, the staff of the Boston District Office issued a deficiency letter primarily focused on perceived weaknesses in procedures for monitoring trading to prevent market timing activity. The staff requested PNX to conduct an analysis as to whether shareholders, policyholders and contract holders who invested in the funds that may have been affected by undetected market timing activity had suffered harm and to advise the staff whether PNX believes reimbursement is necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. A third party was retained to assist PNX in preparing the analysis. Based on this analysis, PNX advised the SEC that it does not believe that reimbursement is appropriate. Over the past several years, a number of companies have announced settlements of enforcement actions with various regulatory agencies, primarily the SEC and the New York Attorney General's Office. While no such action has been initiated against us, it is possible that one or more regulatory agencies may pursue this type of action against us in the future. Financial services companies have also been the subject of broad industry inquiries by state regulators and attorneys general which do not appear to be company-specific. These types of regulatory actions may be difficult to assess or quantify, may seek recovery of indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, and the nature and magnitude of their outcomes may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all pending inquiries, investigations, legal proceedings and other regulatory actions, or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses, we believe that their outcomes are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions and the inherent unpredictability of regulatory matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
