Title of Securities Being Registered
Deferred Variable Annuity Contract




NATIONWIDE ENTERPRISE - BEST OF AMERICA®
 
Nationwide Life Insurance Company
Deferred Variable Annuity Contracts
Issued by Nationwide Life Insurance Company through its Nationwide Variable Account-II
The date of this prospectus is May 1, 2007.
 

This prospectus contains basic information you should understand about the contracts before investing – the annuity contract is the legally binding instrument governing the relationship between you and Nationwide should you choose to invest.  Please read this prospectus carefully and keep it for future reference.
Variable annuities are complex investment products with unique benefits and advantages that may be particularly useful in meeting long-term savings and retirement needs. There are costs and charges associated with these benefits and advantages - costs and charges that are different, or do not exist at all, within other investment products. With help from financial consultants and advisers, investors are encouraged to compare and contrast the costs and benefits of the variable annuity described in this prospectus against those of other investment products, especially other variable annuity and variable life insurance products offered by Nationwide and its affiliates. Nationwide offers a wide array of such products, many with different charges, benefit features and underlying investment options. This process of comparison and analysis should aid in determining whether the purchase of the contract described in this prospectus is consistent with your investment objectives, risk tolerance, investment time horizon, marital status, tax situation and other personal characteristics and needs.
The Statement of Additional Information (dated May 1, 2007) which contains additional information about the contracts and the variable account, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is incorporated herein by reference.  The table of contents for the Statement of Additional Information is on page 24.  For general information or to obtain free copies of the Statement of Additional Information, call 1-800-243-6295 (TDD 1-800-238-3035), Voice Response 24 hours: 1-800-848-8258 or write:

The Statement of Additional Information and other material incorporated by reference can be found on the SEC website at: www.sec.gov.  Information about this and other Best of America products can be found at: www.nationwide.com.
Before investing, understand that annuities and/or life insurance products are not insured by the FDIC, NCUSIF, or any other Federal government agency, and are not deposits or obligations of, guaranteed by, or insured by the depository institution where offered or any of its affiliates.  Annuities that involve investment risk may lose value.  These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC, nor has the SEC passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the prospectus.  Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Synopsis of the Contracts
 
The contracts described in this prospectus are modified single purchase payment contracts.  The contracts may be issued as either individual or group contracts.  In those states where contracts are issued as group contracts, references throughout this prospectus to "contract owner" will also mean "participant" unless the plan otherwise permits or requires the contract owner to exercise contract rights under the terms of the plan.
 
The contracts can be categorized as either:
 
 
·
Individual Retirement Annuities ("IRAs");
·
Non-Qualified Contracts;
 
·
Roth IRAs; and
 
·
Simplified Employee Pension IRAs ("SEP IRAs").
 
Individual Retirement Annuities or SEP IRAs may be purchased with annual IRA contributions rolled over from Qualified Plans, Individual Retirement Annuities, Tax Sheltered Annuities or custodial accounts.
 
For more detailed information with regard to the differences in contract types, please see "Types of Contracts" in Appendix C.
 
This contract is not designed for and does not support active trading strategies.  In order to protect investors in this contract that do not utilize such strategies, Nationwide may initiate certain exchange offers intended to provide contract owners that meet certain criteria with an alternate variable annuity designed to accommodate active trading.  If this contract is exchanged as part of an exchange offer, the exchange will be made on the basis of the relative net asset values of the exchanged contract and no sales loads will be assessed on the new contract.

Purpose of the Contract
 
The annuity described in this prospectus is intended to provide benefits to a single individual and his/her beneficiaries.  It is not intended to be used:
 
·
by institutional investors;
·
in connection with other Nationwide contracts that have the same annuitant; or
·
in connection with other Nationwide contracts that have different annuitants, but the same contract owner.
 
By providing these annuity benefits, Nationwide assumes certain risks.  If Nationwide determines that the risks it intended to assume in issuing the contract have been altered by misusing the contract as described above, Nationwide reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary to reduce or eliminate the altered risk, including, but not limited to, rescinding the contract and returning the contract value (less any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and/or market value adjustment).  Nationwide also reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary to reduce or eliminate altered risk resulting from materially false, misleading, incomplete or otherwise deficient information provided by the contract owner.

Charges and Expenses
 
Nationwide does not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments upon deposit into or withdrawal from the contract.
 
Nationwide deducts a Mortality Risk Charge equal to an annualized rate of 0.80% of the daily net assets of the variable account.  Nationwide assesses this charge in return for bearing certain mortality and administrative risks.
 
Annuity Payments
 
Annuity payments begin on the annuitization date and will be based on the annuity payment option chosen prior to annuitization.  Annuity payments will generally be received within 7 to 10 days after each annuity payment date.
 
Taxation
 
How the contracts are taxed depends on the type of contract issued and the purpose for which the contract is purchased.  Nationwide will charge against the contract any premium taxes levied by any governmental authority (see "Federal Tax Considerations" in Appendix C and "Premium Taxes").
 
Ten Day Free Look
 
Contract owners may return the contract for any reason within ten days of receipt and Nationwide will refund the contract value or other amounts required by law (see "Right to Revoke").
 
 
Financial statements for the variable account and the consolidated financial statements for Nationwide are located in the Statement of Additional Information.  A current statement of Additional Information may be obtained, without charge, by contacting Nationwide’s home office at the telephone number listed on page 1 of this prospectus.
 
 
The value of an accumulation unit is determined on the basis of changes in the per share value of the underlying mutual funds and variable account charges (for more information on the calculation of accumulation unit values, see "Determining Variable Account Value – Valuing an Accumulation Unit").  Please refer to Appendix B for information regarding accumulation units.
 
 
Nationwide is a stock life insurance company organized under Ohio law in March, 1929, with its home office at One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio 43215.  Nationwide is a provider of life insurance, annuities and retirement products.  It is admitted to do business in all states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
 
Nationwide is a member of the Nationwide group of companies.  Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (the "Companies") are the ultimate controlling persons of the Nationwide group of companies.  The Companies were organized under Ohio law in December 1925 and 1933 respectively.  The Companies engage in a general insurance and reinsurance business, except life insurance.
 
 
The contracts are distributed by the general distributor, Nationwide Investment Services Corporation ("NISC"), One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio 43215.  NISC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide.
 
 
The Variable Account and Underlying Mutual Funds
 
Nationwide Variable Account-II is a variable account that invests in the underlying mutual funds listed in Appendix A.  Nationwide established the variable account on October 7, 1981, pursuant to Ohio law.  Although the variable account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), the SEC does not supervise the management of Nationwide or the variable account.
 
Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, the variable account reflect the variable account’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of Nationwide’s other assets.  The variable account’s assets are held separately from Nationwide’s assets and are not chargeable with liabilities incurred in any other business of Nationwide.  Nationwide is obligated to pay all amounts promised to contract owners under the contracts.
 
The variable account is divided into sub-accounts, each corresponding to a single mutual fund.  Nationwide uses the assets of each sub-account to buy shares of the underlying mutual funds based on contract owner instructions.
 
Each underlying mutual fund’s prospectus contains more detailed information about that fund.  Prospectuses for the underlying mutual funds should be read in conjunction with this prospectus.
 
Underlying mutual funds in the variable account are NOT publicly traded mutual funds.  They are only available as investment options in variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies, or in some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.
 
The investment advisers of the underlying mutual funds may manage publicly traded mutual funds with similar names and investment objectives.  However, the underlying mutual funds are NOT directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund.  Contract owners should not compare the performance of a publicly traded fund with the performance of underlying mutual funds participating in the variable account.  The performance of the underlying mutual funds could differ substantially from that of any publicly traded funds.
 
The particular underlying mutual funds available under the contract may change from time to time.  Specifically, underlying mutual funds or underlying mutual fund share classes that are currently available may be removed or closed off to future investment.  New underlying mutual funds or new share classes of currently available underlying mutual funds may be added.  Contract owners will receive notice of any

9


such changes that affect their contract.  Additionally, not all of the underlying mutual funds are available in every state.
 
Voting Rights
 
Contract owners who have allocated assets to the underlying mutual funds are entitled to certain voting rights.  Nationwide will vote contract owner shares at special shareholder meetings based on contract owner instructions.  However, if the law changes and Nationwide is allowed to vote in its own right, it may elect to do so.
 
Contract owners with voting interests in an underlying mutual fund will be notified of issues requiring the shareholders’ vote as soon as possible before the shareholder meeting.  Notification will contain proxy materials and a form with which to give Nationwide voting instructions.  Nationwide will vote shares for which no instructions are received in the same proportion as those that are received.  What this means to you is that when only a small number of contract owners vote, each vote has a greater impact on the outcome.
 
The number of shares which a contract owner may vote is determined by dividing the cash value of the amount they have allocated to an underlying mutual fund by the net asset value of that underlying mutual fund.  Nationwide will designate a date for this determination not more than 90 days before the shareholder meeting.
 
Material Conflicts
 
The underlying mutual funds may be offered through separate accounts of other insurance companies, as well as through other separate accounts of Nationwide.  Nationwide does not anticipate any disadvantages to this.  However, it is possible that a conflict may arise between the interests of the variable account and one or more of the other separate accounts in which these underlying mutual funds participate.
 
Material conflicts may occur due to a change in law affecting the operations of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts, or differences in the voting instructions of the contract owners and those of other companies.  If a material conflict occurs, Nationwide will take whatever steps are necessary to protect contract owners and variable annuity payees, including withdrawal of the variable account from participation in the underlying mutual fund(s) involved in the conflict.
 
Substitution of Securities
 
Nationwide may substitute, eliminate, or combine shares of another underlying mutual fund for shares already purchased or to be purchased in the future if either of the following occurs:
 
(1)
shares of a current underlying mutual fund are no longer available for investment; or
 
(2)
further investment in an underlying mutual fund is inappropriate.
 
No substitution, elimination, or combination of shares may take place without the prior approval of the SEC.
 
The Fixed Account
 
The fixed account is an investment option that is funded by assets of Nationwide’s general account.  The general account contains all of Nationwide’s assets other than those in this and other Nationwide separate accounts and is used to support Nationwide’s annuity and insurance obligations.  The general account is not subject to the same laws as the variable account and the SEC has not reviewed material in this prospectus relating to the fixed account.
 
Purchase payments will be allocated to the fixed account by election of the contract owner.  Nationwide reserves the right to limit or refuse purchase payments allocated to the fixed account at its sole discretion.  Nationwide reserves the right to refuse transfers into the fixed account if the fixed account value is (or would be after the transfer) equal to or greater than 30% of the contract value at the time the transfer is requested.  Generally, Nationwide will invoke this right when interest rates are low by historical standards.
 
The investment income earned by the fixed account will be allocated to the contracts at varying guaranteed interest rate(s) depending on the following categories of fixed account allocations:
 
·
New Money Rate– The rate credited on the fixed account allocation when the contract is purchased or when subsequent purchase payments are made.  Subsequent purchase payments may receive different New Money Rates than the rate when the contract was issued, since the New Money Rate is subject to change based on market conditions.
 
·
Variable Account to Fixed Rate– Allocations transferred from any of the underlying investment options in the variable account to the fixed account may receive a different rate.  The rate may be lower than the New Money Rate.  There may be limits on the amount and frequency of movements from the variable account to the fixed account.
 
·
Renewal Rate– The rate available for maturing fixed account allocations which are entering a new guarantee period.  The contract owner will be notified of this rate in a letter issued with the quarterly statements when any of the money in the contract owner’s fixed account matures.  At that time, the contract owner will have an opportunity to leave the money in the fixed account and receive the Renewal Rate or the contract owner can move the money to any of the other underlying mutual fund options.
 
·
Dollar Cost Averaging Rate– From time to time, Nationwide may offer a more favorable rate for an initial purchase payment into a new contract when used in conjunction with a Dollar Cost Averaging program.
 
All of these rates are subject to change on a daily basis; however, once applied to the fixed account, the interest rates are guaranteed until the end of the calendar quarter during which the 12 month anniversary of the fixed account allocation occurs.
 
Credited interest rates are annualized rates – the effective yield of interest over a one-year period.  Interest is credited to each contract on a daily basis.  As a result, the credited interest rate is compounded daily to achieve the stated effective yield.
 
The guaranteed rate for any purchase payment will be effective for not less than twelve months.  Nationwide

10


 
guarantees that the rate will not be less than the minimum interest rate required by applicable state law.
 
Any interest in excess of the minimum interest rate required by applicable state law will be credited to fixed account allocations at Nationwide’s sole discretion.  The contract owner assumes the risk that interest credited to fixed account allocations may not exceed the minimum interest rate required by applicable state law for any given year.
 
Nationwide guarantees that the fixed account contract value will not be less than the amount of the purchase payments allocated to the fixed account, plus interest credited as described above, less any applicable charges.
 
 
Variable annuities are complex investment products with unique benefits and advantages that may be particularly useful in meeting long-term savings and retirement needs.  There are costs and charges associated with these benefits and advantages – costs and charges that are different, or do not exist at all, within other investment products.  With help from financial consultants and advisers, investors are encouraged to compare and contrast the costs and benefits of the variable annuity described in this prospectus against those of other investment products, especially other variable annuity and variable life insurance products offered by Nationwide and its affiliates.
 
Nationwide offers a wide array of such products, many with different charges, benefit features and underlying investment options.  This process of comparison and analysis should aid in determining whether the purchase of the contract described in this prospectus is consistent with your investment objectives, risk tolerance, investment time horizon, marital status, tax situation and other personal characteristics and needs.  Not all benefits, programs, features and investment options described in this prospectus are available or approved for use in every state.
 
In order to comply with the USA Patriot Act and rules promulgated thereunder, Nationwide will implement procedures designed to prevent contracts described in this prospectus from being used to facilitate money laundering or the financing of terrorist activities.
 
These contracts are offered to customers of various financial institutions and brokerage firms.  The individual financial institution or brokerage firm may limit the availability of certain features or optional benefits in accordance with their internal policies.  No financial institution or brokerage firm is responsible for the guarantees under the contracts.
 
Guarantees under the contracts are the sole responsibility of Nationwide.
 
In general, deferred variable annuities are long-term investments; they are not intended as short-term investments.  Accordingly, Nationwide has designed the contract to offer features, pricing, and investment options that encourage long-term ownership.  It is very important that contract owners and prospective contract owners understand all the costs associated with owning a contract, and if and how those costs change during the lifetime of the contract.  Contract and optional charges may not be the same in later contract years as they are in early contract years.  The various contract and optional benefit charges are assessed in order to compensate Nationwide for administrative services, distribution and operational expenses, and assumed actuarial risks associated with the contract.
 
Following is a discussion of some relevant factors that may be of particular interest to prospective investors.
 
Underlying Mutual Fund Payments
 
Nationwide’s Relationship with the Underlying Mutual Funds
 
The underlying mutual funds incur expenses each time they sell, administer, or redeem their shares.  The variable account aggregates contract owner purchase, redemption, and transfer requests and submits net or aggregated purchase/redemption requests to each underlying mutual fund daily.   The variable account (not the contract owners) is the underlying mutual fund shareholder.  When the variable account aggregates transactions, the underlying mutual fund does not incur the expense of processing individual transactions it would normally incur if it sold its shares directly to the public.  Nationwide incurs these expenses instead.
 
Nationwide also incurs the distribution costs of selling the contract (as discussed above), which benefit the underlying mutual funds by providing contract owners with sub-account options that correspond to the underlying mutual funds.
 
An investment adviser or subadviser of an underlying mutual fund or its affiliates may provide Nationwide or its affiliates with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the contract and may pay Nationwide or its affiliates to participate in educational and/or marketing activities.  These activities may provide the adviser or subadviser (or their affiliates) with increased exposure to persons involved in the distribution of the contract.
 
Types of Payments Nationwide Receives
 
In light of the above, the underlying mutual funds and their affiliates make certain payments to Nationwide or its affiliates (the “payments”).  The amount of these payments is typically based on a percentage of assets invested in the underlying mutual funds attributable to the contracts and other variable contracts Nationwide and its affiliates issue, but in some cases may involve a flat fee.  These payments may be used by us for any corporate purpose, which include reducing the prices of the contracts, paying expenses that Nationwide or its affiliates incur in promoting, marketing, and administering the contracts and the underlying mutual funds, and achieving a profit.
 
Nationwide or its affiliates receive the following types of payments:
 
·
Underlying mutual fund 12b-1 fees, which are deducted from underlying mutual fund assets;
 
·
Sub-transfer agent fees or fees pursuant to administrative service plans adopted by the underlying mutual fund, which may be deducted from underlying mutual fund assets; and

11


 
·
Payments by an underlying mutual fund’s adviser or subadviser (or its affiliates).  Such payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee, which is deducted from underlying mutual fund assets and is reflected in mutual fund charges.
 
Furthermore, Nationwide benefits from assets invested in Nationwide’s affiliated underlying mutual funds (i.e., Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust) because its affiliates also receive compensation from the underlying mutual funds for investment advisory, administrative, transfer agency, distribution, and/or other services.  Thus, Nationwide may receive more revenue with respect to affiliated underlying mutual funds than unaffiliated underlying mutual funds.
 
Nationwide took into consideration the anticipated payments from the underlying mutual funds when we determined the charges imposed under the contracts (apart from fees and expenses imposed by the underlying mutual funds).  Without these payments, Nationwide would have imposed higher charges under the contract.
 
Amount of Payments Nationwide Receives
 
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the underlying mutual fund payments Nationwide and its affiliates received from the underlying mutual funds did not exceed 0.65% (as a percentage of the average daily net assets invested in the underlying mutual funds) offered through this contract or other variable contracts that Nationwide and its affiliates issue.  Payments from investment advisers or subadvisers to participate in educational and/or marketing activities have not been taken into account in this percentage.
 
Most underlying mutual funds or their affiliates have agreed to make payments to Nationwide or its affiliates, although the applicable percentages may vary from underlying mutual fund to underlying mutual fund and some may not make any payments at all.  Because the amount of the actual payments Nationwide and its affiliates receive depends on the assets of the underlying mutual funds attributable to the contract, Nationwide and its affiliates may receive higher payments from underlying mutual funds with lower percentages (but greater assets) than from underlying mutual funds that have higher percentages (but fewer assets).
 
For additional information related to amount of payments Nationwide receives, go to www.nationwide.com.
 
Identification of Underlying Mutual Funds
 
Nationwide may consider several criteria when identifying the underlying mutual funds, including some or all of the following:  investment objectives, investment process, investment performance, risk characteristics, investment capabilities, experience and resources, investment consistency, and fund expenses.  Another factor Nationwide considers during the identification process is whether the underlying mutual fund’s adviser or subadviser is one of our affiliates or whether the underlying mutual fund, its adviser, its subadviser(s), or an affiliate will make payments to us or our affiliates.
 
There may be underlying mutual funds with lower fees, as well as other variable contracts that offer underlying mutual funds with lower fees.  You should consider all of the fees and charges of the contract in relation to its features and benefits when making your decision to invest.  Please note that higher contract and underlying mutual fund fees and charges have a direct effect on your investment performance.
 
Profitability
 
Nationwide does consider profitability when determining the charges in the contract.  In early contract years, Nationwide does not anticipate earning a profit, since that is a time when administrative and distribution expenses are typically higher.  Nationwide does, however, anticipate earning a profit in later contract years.  In general, Nationwide's profit will be greater the higher the investment return and the longer the contract is held.
 
 
No commissions are payable on the sale of a contract described in this prospectus.
 
Mortality Risk Charge
 
Nationwide deducts a Mortality Risk Charge from the variable account.  This amount is computed on a daily basis and is equal to an annualized rate of 0.80% of the daily net assets of the variable account.
 
The Mortality Risk Charge compensates Nationwide for guaranteeing the annuity purchase rates of the contracts.  This guarantee ensures that the annuity purchase rates will not change regardless of the death rates of annuity payees or the general population.
 
If the Mortality Risk Charge is insufficient to cover actual expenses, the loss is borne by Nationwide.  Nationwide may realize a profit from this charge.
 
Premium Taxes
 
Nationwide will charge against the contract value any premium taxes levied by a state or other government entity.  Premium tax rates currently range from 0% to 5.0%.  This range is subject to change.  The method used to assess premium tax will be determined by Nationwide at its sole discretion in compliance with state law.
 
If applicable, Nationwide will deduct premium taxes from the contract either at:
 
(1)
the time the contract is surrendered;
 
(2)
annuitization; or
 
(3)
such other dates as Nationwide becomes subject to premium taxes.
 
Premium taxes may be deducted from death benefit proceeds.
 
Short-Term Trading Fees
 
Some underlying mutual funds may assess (or reserve the right to assess) a short-term trading fee in connection with transfers from a sub-account that occur within 60 days after the date of allocation to the sub-account.
 
Short-term trading fees are intended to compensate the underlying mutual fund (and contract owners with interests allocated in the underlying mutual fund) for the negative impact on fund performance that may result from frequent,

12


 
short-term trading strategies.  Short-term trading fees are not intended to affect the large majority of contract owners not engaged in such strategies.
 
Any short-term trading fee assessed by any underlying mutual fund available in conjunction with the contracts described in this prospectus will equal 1% of the amount determined to be engaged in short-term trading.  Short-term trading fees will only apply to those sub-accounts corresponding to underlying mutual funds that charge such fees (see the underlying mutual fund prospectus).  Any short-term trading fees paid are retained by the underlying mutual fund, not by Nationwide, and are part of the underlying mutual fund’s assets.  Contract owners are responsible for monitoring the length of time allocations are held in any particular underlying mutual fund.  Nationwide will not provide advance notice of the assessment of any applicable short-term trading fee.
 
For a complete list of the underlying mutual funds offered under the contract that assess (or reserves the right to assess) a short-term trading fee please see "Underlying Mutual Fund Annual Expenses" earlier in this prospectus.
 
If a short-term trading fee is assessed, the underlying mutual fund will charge the variable account 1% of the amount determined to be engaged in short-term trading.  The variable account will then pass the short-term trading fee on to the specific contract owner that engaged in short-term trading by deducting an amount equal to the short-term trading fee from that contract owner’s sub-account value.  All such fees will be remitted to the underlying mutual fund; none of the fee proceeds will be retained by Nationwide or the variable account.
 
When multiple purchase payments (or exchanges) are made to a sub-account that is subject to short-term trading fees, transfers will be considered to be made on a first in/first out (FIFO) basis for purposes of determining short-term trading fees.  In other words, units held the longest will be treated as being transferred first, and units held for the shortest time will be treated as being transferred last.
 
Some transactions are not subject to the short-term trading fees.  Transactions that are not subject to short-term trading fees include:
 
·
scheduled and systematic transfers, such as Dollar Cost Averaging, Asset Rebalancing, and Systematic Withdrawals;
 
·
contract surrenders;
 
·
transfers made upon annuitization of the contract;
 
·
surrenders of annuity units to make annuity payments; or
 
·
surrenders of accumulation units to pay a death benefit.
 
New share classes of certain currently available underlying mutual funds may be added as investment options under the contracts.  These new share classes may require the assessment of short-term trading or redemption fees.  When these new share classes are added, new purchase payment allocations and exchange reallocations to the underlying mutual funds in question may be limited to the new share class.
 
 
The contract owner has all rights under the contract, including the right to designate and change any designations of the contract owner, contingent owner, annuitant, contingent annuitant, beneficiary, contingent beneficiary, annuity payment option, and annuity commencement date.  Purchasers who name someone other than themselves as the contract owner will have no rights under the contract.
 
Contract owners of Non-Qualified Contracts may name a new contract owner at any time before the annuitization date.  Any change of contract owner automatically revokes any prior contract owner designation.  Changes in contract ownership may result in federal income taxation and may be subject to state and federal gift taxes.
 
A change in contract ownership must be submitted in writing and recorded at Nationwide’s home office.  Once recorded, the change will be effective as of the date signed.  However, the change will not affect any payments made or actions taken by Nationwide before the change was recorded.
 
The contract owner may also request a change in the annuitant, contingent annuitant, contingent owner, beneficiary, or contingent beneficiary before the annuitization date.  These changes must be:
 
·
on a Nationwide form;
 
·
signed by the contract owner; and
 
·
received at Nationwide’s home office before the annuitization date.
 
Nationwide must review and approve any change requests.  If the contract owner is not a natural person and there is a change of the annuitant, distributions will be made as if the contract owner died at the time of the change.
 
On the annuitization date, the annuitant will become the contract owner.
 
Joint Ownership
 
Joint owners each own an undivided interest in the contract.  If a contract owner who is not the annuitant dies before the annuitization date, the joint owner becomes the contract owner.
 
Contract owners can name a joint owner at any time before annuitization subject to the following conditions:
 
·
joint owners can only be named for Non-Qualified Contracts;
 
·
joint owners must be spouses at the time joint ownership is requested, unless  state law requires Nationwide to allow non-spousal joint owners;
 
·
the exercise of any ownership right in the contract will generally require a written request signed by both joint owners;
 
·
an election in writing signed by both contract owners must be made to authorize Nationwide to allow the exercise of ownership rights independently by either joint owner; and
 
·
Nationwide will not be liable for any loss, liability, cost, or expense for acting in accordance with the instructions of either joint owner.

13


 
Contingent Ownership
 
For contracts issued in the State of New York, references throughout this prospectus to "contingent owner" will mean "owner’s beneficiary."
 
The contingent owner is entitled to certain benefits under the contract, if a contract owner who is not the annuitant dies before the annuitization date, and there is no surviving joint owner.
 
The contract owner may name or change a contingent owner at any time before the annuitization date.  To change the contingent owner, a written request must be submitted to Nationwide.  Once Nationwide has recorded the change, it will be effective as of the date it was signed, whether or not the contract owner was living at the time it was recorded.  The change will not affect any action taken by Nationwide before the change was recorded.
 
Annuitant
 
The annuitant is the person designated to receive annuity payments during annuitization of the contract and upon whose continuation of life any annuity payment involving life contingencies depends.  This person must be age 90 or younger at the time of contract issuance, unless Nationwide approves a request for an annuitant of greater age.  The annuitant may be changed prior to the annuitization date with the consent of Nationwide.
 
Beneficiary and Contingent Beneficiary
 
The beneficiary is the person who is entitled to the death benefit if the annuitant dies before the annuitization date and there is no contingent annuitant.  The contract owner can name more than one beneficiary.  Multiple beneficiaries will share the death benefit equally, unless otherwise specified.

Pricing
 
Initial purchase payments allocated to sub-accounts will be priced at the accumulation unit value determined no later than 2 business days after receipt of an order to purchase if the application and all necessary information are complete.  If the application is not complete, Nationwide may retain a purchase payment for up to 5 business days while attempting to complete it.  If the application is not completed within 5 business days, the prospective purchaser will be informed of the reason for the delay.  The purchase payment will be returned unless the prospective purchaser specifically allows Nationwide to hold the purchase payment until the application is completed.
 
Subsequent purchase payments will be priced based on the next available accumulation unit value after the payment is received. The cumulative total of all purchase payments under contracts issued by Nationwide on the life of any one annuitant cannot exceed $1,000,000 without Nationwide’s prior consent.
 
Except on the days listed below and on weekends, purchase payments, transfers and surrenders are priced every day.  Purchase payments will not be priced when the New York Stock Exchange is closed or on the following nationally recognized holidays:

·New Year's Day
·Independence Day
·Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
·Labor Day
·Presidents’ Day
·Thanksgiving
·Good Friday
·Christmas
·Memorial Day
 

Nationwide also will not price purchase payments if:
 
(1)
trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
 
(2)
an emergency exists making disposal or valuation of securities held in the variable account impracticable; or
 
(3)
the SEC, by order, permits a suspension or postponement for the protection of security holders.
 
Rules and regulations of the SEC will govern as to when conditions described in (2) and (3) exist.
 
If Nationwide is closed on days when the New York Stock Exchange is open, contract value may be affected since the contract owner will not have access to their account.
 
Allocation of Purchase Payments
 
Nationwide allocates purchase payments to the sub-accounts and the fixed account as instructed by the contract owner.  Shares of the underlying mutual funds allocated to the sub-accounts are purchased at net asset value, then converted into accumulation units.  Nationwide reserves the right to limit or refuse purchase payments allocated to the fixed account at its sole discretion.
 
Contract owners can change allocations or make exchanges among the sub-accounts or the fixed account.  However, no change may be made that would result in an amount less than 1% of the purchase payments being allocated to any sub-account for any contract owner.  Certain transactions may be subject to conditions imposed by the underlying mutual funds, as well as those set forth in the contract.
 
Determining the Contract Value
 
The contract value is the sum of:
 
(1)
the value of amounts allocated to the sub-accounts of the variable account; and
 
(2)
amounts allocated to the fixed account.
 
If part or all of the contract value is surrendered, or charges are assessed against the whole contract value, Nationwide will deduct a proportionate amount from each sub-account and the fixed account based on current cash values.
 
Determining Variable Account Value – Valuing an Accumulation Unit
 
Purchase payments or transfers allocated to sub-accounts are accounted for in accumulation units.  Accumulation unit

14


 
values (for each sub-account) are determined by calculating the net investment factor for the underlying mutual funds for the current valuation period and multiplying that result with the accumulation unit values determined on the previous valuation period.
 
Nationwide uses the net investment factor as a way to calculate the investment performance of a sub-account from valuation period to valuation period.  For each sub-account, the net investment factor shows the investment performance of the underlying mutual fund in which a particular sub-account invests, including the charges assessed against that sub-account for a valuation period.
 
The net investment factor for any particular sub-account is determined by dividing (a) by (b), and then subtracting (c) from the result, where
 
(a)
is the sum of:
 
(1)
the net asset value of the underlying mutual fund as of the end of the current valuation period; and
 
(2)
the per share amount of any dividend or income distributions made by the underlying mutual fund (if the date of the dividend or income distribution occurs during the current valuation period).
 
(b)
is the net asset value of the underlying mutual fund determined as of the end of the preceding valuation period.
 
(c)
is a factor representing the daily variable account charges.  The factor is equal to an annualized rate of 0.80% of the daily net assets of the variable account.
 
Based on the net investment factor, the value of an accumulation unit may increase or decrease.  Changes in the net investment factor may not be directly proportional to changes in the net asset value of the underlying mutual fund shares because of the deduction of variable account charges.
 
Though the number of accumulation units will not change as a result of investment experience, the value of an accumulation unit may increase or decrease from valuation period to valuation period.
 
Determining Fixed Account Value
 
Nationwide determines the value of the fixed account by:
 
(1)
adding all amounts allocated to the fixed account, minus amounts previously transferred or withdrawn; and
 
(2)
adding any interest earned on the amounts allocated.
 
Transfers Prior to Annuitization
 
Transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Account
 
Contract owners may request to have fixed account allocations transferred to the variable account only upon reaching the end of an interest rate guarantee period.  Normally, Nationwide will permit 100% of such fixed account allocations to be transferred to the variable account; however Nationwide may, under certain economic conditions and at its discretion, limit the maximum transferable amount.  Under no circumstances will the maximum transferable amount be less than 10% of the fixed account allocation reaching the end of an interest rate guarantee period.  Transfers of the fixed account allocations must be made within 45 days after reaching the end of an interest rate guarantee period.
 
Contract owners who use Dollar Cost Averaging may transfer from the fixed account to the variable account under the terms of that program (see "Dollar Cost Averaging").
 
Transfers to the Fixed Account
 
Contract owners may request to have variable account allocations transferred to the fixed account at any time prior to annuitization.  Normally, Nationwide will not restrict transfers from the variable account to the fixed account; however, Nationwide may establish a maximum transfer limit from the variable account to the fixed account.  Except as noted below, the transfer limit will not be less than 10% of the current value of the variable account for any 12 month period.  Nationwide reserves the right to refuse transfers to the fixed account if the fixed account value is (or would be after the transfer) equal to or greater than 30% of the contract value at the time the transfer is requested.  Generally, Nationwide will invoke this right when interest rates are low by historical standards.
 
Transfers Among Sub-Accounts
 
Contract owners may request to have allocations transferred among the sub-accounts once per valuation period.
 
Transfers After Annuitization
 
After annuitization, transfers may only be made on the anniversary date of the annuitization date.
 
Transfer Requests
 
Contract owners may submit transfer requests in writing, over the telephone, or via the internet.  Nationwide will use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions are genuine and will not be liable for following instructions that it reasonably determined to be genuine.  Nationwide may restrict or withdraw the telephone and/or internet transfer privilege at any time.
 
Generally, sub-account transfers will receive the accumulation unit value next determined after the transfer request is received.  However, if a contract that is limited to submitting transfer requests via U.S. mail submits a transfer request via internet or telephone pursuant to Nationwide's one-day delay policy, the transfer will be executed on the next business day after the exchange request is received by Nationwide (see "Managers of Multiple Contracts").
 
Interest Rate Guarantee Period
 
The interest rate guarantee period is the period of time that the fixed account interest rate is guaranteed to remain the same.
 
For new purchase payments allocated to the fixed account, or transfers to the fixed account from the variable account this period begins on the date of deposit or transfer and ends on the one year anniversary of the deposit or transfer.  The guaranteed interest rate period may last for up to 3 months beyond the 1 year anniversary because guaranteed terms end on the last day of a calendar quarter.

15


 
During an interest rate guarantee period, transfers cannot be made from the fixed account, and amounts transferred to the fixed account must remain on deposit.
 
Transfer Restrictions
 
Neither the contracts described in this prospectus nor the underlying mutual funds are designed to support active trading strategies that require frequent movement between or among sub-accounts (sometimes referred to as "market-timing" or "short-term trading").  A contract owner who intends to use an active trading strategy should consult his/her registered representative and request information on other Nationwide variable annuity contracts that offer underlying mutual funds that are designed specifically to support active trading strategies.
 
Nationwide discourages (and will take action to deter) short-term trading in this contract because the frequent movement between or among sub-accounts may negatively impact other investors in the contract.  Short-term trading can result in:
 
 
·
the dilution of the value of the investors’ interests in the underlying mutual fund;
 
 
·
underlying mutual fund managers taking actions that negatively impact performance (keeping a larger portion of the underlying mutual fund assets in cash or liquidating investments prematurely in order to support redemption requests); and/or
 
 
·
increased administrative costs due to frequent purchases and redemptions.
 
To protect investors in this contract from the negative impact of these practices, Nationwide has implemented, or reserves the right to implement, several processes and/or restrictions aimed at eliminating the negative impact of active trading strategies.
 
Nationwide makes no assurances that all risks associated with short-term trading will be completely eliminated by these processes and/or restrictions.
 
Nationwide cannot guarantee that its attempts to deter active trading strategies will be successful.  If we are unable to deter active trading strategies, the performance of the sub-accounts that are actively traded may be adversely impacted.
 
Redemption Fees
 
Some underlying mutual funds assess a short-term trading fee in connection with transfers from a sub-account that occur within 60 days after the date of the allocation to the sub-account.  The fee is assessed against the amount transferred and is paid to the underlying mutual fund.  Redemption fees compensate the underlying mutual fund for any negative impact on fund performance resulting from short-term trading.  For more information on short-term trading fees, please see the "Short-Term Trading Fees" provision.
 
U.S. Mail Restrictions
 
Nationwide monitors transfer activity in order to identify those who may be engaged in harmful trading practices.  Transaction reports are produced and examined.  Generally, a contract may appear on these reports if the contract owner (or a third party acting on their behalf) engages in a certain number of "transfer events" in a given period.  A "transfer event" is any transfer, or combination of transfers, occurring on a given trading day (valuation period).  For example, if a contract owner executes multiple transfers involving 10 underlying mutual funds in one day, this counts as one transfer event.  A single transfer occurring on a given trading day and involving only 2 underlying mutual funds (or one underlying mutual fund if the transfer is made to or from the fixed account) will also count as one transfer event.
 
As a result of this monitoring process, Nationwide may restrict the method of communication by which transfer orders will be accepted.  In general, Nationwide will adhere to the following guidelines:

Trading Behavior
Nationwide's Response
6 or more transfer events in one calendar quarter
Nationwide will mail a letter to the contract owner notifying them that:
(1)they have been identified as engaging in harmful trading practices; and
(2)if their transfer events exceed 11 in 2 consecutive calendar quarters or 20 in one calendar year, the contract owner will be limited to submitting transfer requests via U.S. mail.
More than 11 transfer events in 2 consecutive calendar quarters
OR
More than 20 transfer events in one calendar year
Nationwide will automatically limit the contract owner to submitting transfer requests via U.S. mail.
 
Each January 1st, Nationwide will start the monitoring anew, so that each contract starts with 0 transfer events each January 1.  See, however, the "Other Restrictions" provision below.
 
Managers of Multiple Contracts
 
Some investment advisers/representatives manage the assets of multiple Nationwide contracts pursuant to trading authority granted or conveyed by multiple contract owners.  These multi-contract advisers will generally be required by Nationwide to submit all transfer requests via U.S. mail.
 
Nationwide may, as an administrative practice, implement a "one-day delay" program for these multi-contract advisers, which they can use in addition to or in lieu of submitting transfer requests via U.S. mail.  The one-day delay option permits multi-contract advisers to continue to submit transfer requests via the internet or telephone.  However, transfer requests submitted by multi-contract advisers via the internet or telephone will not receive the next available accumulation unit value that is calculated on the following business day.  Transfer requests submitted under the one-day delay program are irrevocable.  Multi-contract advisers will receive advance notice of being subject to the one-day delay program.
 
Other Restrictions
 
Nationwide reserves the right to refuse or limit transfer requests, or take any other action it deems necessary, in order to protect contract owners, annuitants, and beneficiaries from

16


 
the negative investment results that may result from short-term trading or other harmful investment practices employed by some contract owners (or third parties acting on their behalf).  In particular, trading strategies designed to avoid or take advantage of Nationwide's monitoring procedures (and other measures aimed at curbing harmful trading practices) that are nevertheless determined by Nationwide to constitute harmful trading practices, may be restricted.
 
Any restrictions that Nationwide implements will be applied consistently and uniformly.
 
 
Pursuant to regulations adopted by the SEC, Nationwide is required to enter into written agreements with the underlying mutual funds which allow the underlying mutual funds to:
 
(1)
request the taxpayer identification number, international taxpayer identification number, or other government issued identifier of any Nationwide contract owner;
(2)
request the amounts and dates of any purchase, redemption, transfer or exchange request (“transaction information”); and
(3)
instruct Nationwide to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges by contract owners that violate policies established by the underlying mutual fund (whose policies may be more restrictive than Nationwide’s policies).
 
Nationwide is required to provide such transaction information to the underlying mutual funds upon their request.  In addition, Nationwide is required to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchange requests upon instruction from the underlying mutual fund.  Nationwide and any affected contract owner may not have advance notice of such instructions from an underlying mutual fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchange requests.  If an underlying mutual fund refuses to accept a purchase or exchange request submitted by Nationwide, Nationwide will keep any affected contract owner in their current underlying mutual fund allocation.
 
Right to Revoke
 
Contract owners have a ten day "free look" to examine the contract.  The contract may be returned to Nationwide’s home office for any reason within ten days of receipt and Nationwide will refund the contract value or another amount required by law.  The refunded contract value will reflect the deduction of any contract charges, unless otherwise required by law.  All IRA, SEP IRA and Roth IRA refunds will be a return of purchase payments.  State and/or federal law may provide additional free look privileges.
 
Liability of the variable account under this provision is limited to the contract value in each sub-account on the date of revocation.  Any additional amounts refunded to the contract owner will be paid by Nationwide.
 
 
Contract owners may surrender some or all of their contract value before the earlier of the annuitization date or the annuitant’s death.  Surrender requests must be in writing and Nationwide may require additional information.  When taking a full surrender, the contract must accompany the written request.  Nationwide may require a signature guarantee.
 
Nationwide will pay any amount surrendered from the sub-accounts within 7 days.  However, Nationwide may suspend or postpone payment when it is unable to price a purchase payment or transfer (See "Pricing").
 
Nationwide is required by state law to reserve the right to postpone payment of assets in the fixed account for a period of up to six months from the date of the surrender request.
 
Surrenders from the contract may be subject to federal income tax and/or a penalty tax.  See "Federal Income Taxes" in Appendix C.
 
Partial Surrenders (Partial Redemptions)
 
Nationwide will surrender accumulation units from the sub-accounts and an amount from the fixed account.  The amount withdrawn from each investment option will be in proportion to the value in each option at the time of the surrender request.
 
Partial Surrenders to Pay Investment Advisory Fees
 
 
Some contract owners utilize an investment adviser(s) to manage their assets, for which the investment adviser assesses a fee.  Investment advisers are not endorsed or affiliated with Nationwide and Nationwide makes no representation as to their qualifications.  The fees for these investment advisory services are specified in the respective account agreements and are separate from and in addition to the contract fees and expenses described in this prospectus.  Some contract owners authorize their investment adviser to take a partial surrender(s) from the contract in order to collect investment advisory fees.  Surrenders taken from this contract to pay advisory or investment management fees are subject to the CDSC provisions of the contract and may be subject to income tax and/or tax penalties.
 
Full Surrenders (Full Redemptions)
 
The contract value upon full surrender may be more or less than the total of all purchase payments made to the contract.  The contract value will reflect:
 
·
variable account charges;
 
·
underlying mutual fund charges;
 
·
the investment performance of the underlying mutual funds; and
 
·
amounts allocated to the fixed account and any interest credited.
 
 
Contract rights are personal to the contract owner and may not be assigned without Nationwide’s written consent.  IRAs, Roth IRAs and SEP IRAs may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred except where allowed by law.
 
A Non-Qualified Contract owner may assign some or all rights under the contract.  An assignment must occur before annuitization while the annuitant is alive.  Once proper notice of assignment is recorded by Nationwide’s home office, the assignment will become effective as of the date the written request was signed.

17


Nationwide is not responsible for the validity or tax consequences of any assignment.  Nationwide is not liable for any payment or settlement made before the assignment is recorded.  Assignments will not be recorded until Nationwide receives sufficient direction from the contract owner and the assignee regarding the proper allocation of contract rights.
 
Amounts pledged or assigned will be treated as distributions and will be included in gross income to the extent that the cash value exceeds the investment in the contract for the taxable year in which it was pledged or assigned.  Amounts assigned may be subject to a tax penalty equal to 10% of the amount included in gross income.
 
Assignment of the entire contract value may cause the portion of the contract value exceeding the total investment in the contract and previously taxed amounts to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes each year that the assignment is in effect.
 
 
Asset Rebalancing
 
Asset Rebalancing is the automatic reallocation of contract values to the sub-accounts on a predetermined percentage basis.  Asset Rebalancing is not available for assets held in the fixed account.  Each Asset Rebalancing reallocation is considered a transfer event.  Requests for Asset Rebalancing must be on a Nationwide form.  Once Asset Rebalancing is elected, it will only be terminated upon specific instruction from the contract owner; manual transfers will not automatically terminate the program.
 
Asset Rebalancing occurs every three months or on another frequency if permitted by Nationwide.  If the last day of the three-month period falls on a Saturday, Sunday, recognized holiday, or any other day when the New York Stock Exchange is closed, Asset Rebalancing will occur on the next business day.
 
Nationwide reserves the right to stop establishing new Asset Rebalancing Programs.  Nationwide also reserves the right to assess a processing fee for this service.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
 
Dollar Cost Averaging is a long-term transfer program that allows you to make regular, level investments over time.  It involves the automatic transfer of a specified amount from certain sub-accounts and the fixed account into other sub-accounts.  Nationwide does not guarantee that this program will result in profit or protect contract owners from loss.
 
Contract owners direct Nationwide to automatically transfer specified amounts from the fixed account, the , the NVIT – Nationwide NVIT Government Bond Fund: Class I, the NVIT – Nationwide NVIT Money Market Fund: Class I, and the Lehman Brothers Advisers Management Trust – AMT Short Duration Bond Portfolio: I Class to any other underlying mutual fund.  Dollar Cost Averaging transfers may not be directed to the fixed account.
 
Transfers occur monthly or on another frequency if permitted by Nationwide.  Dollar Cost Averaging transfers are not considered transfer events.  Nationwide will process transfers until either the value in the originating investment option is exhausted, or the contract owner instructs Nationwide in writing to stop the transfers.
 
Nationwide reserves the right to stop establishing new Dollar Cost Averaging programs.  Nationwide also reserves to assess a processing fee for this service.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging from the Fixed Account
 
Transfers from the fixed account must be equal to or less than 1/30th of the fixed account value at the time the program is requested.  A Dollar Cost Averaging program which transfers amounts from the fixed account to the variable account is not the same as an Enhanced Rate Dollar Cost Averaging program.  Contract owners who wish to utilize dollar cost averaging from the fixed account should first inquire as to whether any enhanced rate dollar cost averaging programs are available.  Nationwide is required by state law to reserve the right to postpone payment of assets in the fixed account for a period of up to six months from the date of the surrender request.
 
Enhanced Rate Dollar Cost Averaging Program
 
Nationwide may, from time to time, offer Enhanced Rate Dollar Cost Averaging programs.  Only new purchase payments to the contract are eligible to participate in this program.  Nationwide reserves the right to require a minimum balance to establish the Enhanced Rate Dollar Cost Averaging Program.  Dollar Cost Averaging transfers for this program may only be made from the fixed account.  Such Enhanced Rate Dollar Cost Averaging programs allow the contract owner to earn a higher rate of interest on assets in the fixed account than would normally be credited when not participating in the program.  Each enhanced interest rate is guaranteed for as long as the corresponding program is in effect.  Nationwide will process transfers until either amounts in the enhanced rate fixed account are exhausted, or the contract owner instructs Nationwide in writing to stop the transfers.  For this program only, when a written request to discontinue transfers is received, Nationwide will automatically transfer the remaining amount in the enhanced rate fixed account to the GVIT – Gartmore GVIT Money Market Fund: Class I.  Nationwide is required by state law to reserve the right to postpone payment of assets in the fixed account for a period of up to six months from the date of the surrender request.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
 
Systematic Withdrawals allow contract owners to receive a specified amount (of at least $100) on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis.  Requests for Systematic Withdrawals and requests to discontinue Systematic Withdrawals must be in writing.
 
The withdrawals will be taken from the sub-accounts and the fixed account proportionately unless Nationwide is instructed otherwise.
 
Nationwide will withhold federal income taxes from Systematic Withdrawals unless otherwise instructed by the contract owner.  The Internal Revenue Service may impose a 10% penalty tax if the contract owner is under age 59½ unless the contract owner has made an irrevocable election of distributions of substantially equal payments.  Nationwide

18


 
reserves the right to stop establishing new Systematic Withdrawal programs.  Nationwide also reserves the right to assess a processing fee for this service.  Systematic Withdrawals are not available before the end of the ten-day free look period (see "Right to Revoke").
 
 
The annuity commencement date is the date on which annuity payments are scheduled to begin.  The contract owner may change the annuity commencement date before annuitization.  This change must be in writing and approved by Nationwide.
 
 
Annuitization Date
 
The annuitization date is the date that annuity payments begin.  The annuitization date will be the first day of a calendar month unless otherwise agreed.  The annuitization date must be at least 2 years after the contract is issued, but may not be later than either:
 
·
the age (or date) specified in your contract; or
 
·
the age (or date) specified by state law, where applicable.
 
 
The Internal Revenue Code may require that distributions be made prior to the annuitization dates specified above (see "Required Distributions" in Appendix C).
 
Annuitization
 
Annuitization is the period during which annuity payments are received.  It is irrevocable once payments have begun.  Upon arrival of the annuitization date, the annuitant must choose:
 
(1)
an annuity payment option; and
 
(2)
either a fixed payment annuity, variable payment annuity, or an available combination.
 
Nationwide guarantees that each payment under a fixed payment annuity will be the same throughout annuitization.  Under a variable payment annuity, the amount of each payment will vary with the performance of the underlying mutual funds chosen by the contract owner.
 
Fixed Payment Annuity
 
A fixed payment annuity is an annuity where the amount of the annuity payment remains level.
 
The first payment under a fixed payment annuity is determined on the annuitization date based on the annuitant’s age (in accordance with the contract) by:
 
(1)
deducting applicable premium taxes from the total contract value; then
 
(2)
applying the contract value amount specified by the contract owner to the fixed payment annuity table for the annuity payment option elected.
 
Subsequent payments will remain level unless the annuity payment option elected provides otherwise. Nationwide does not credit discretionary interest during annuitization.
 
VariablePayment Annuity
 
A variable payment annuity is an annuity where the amount of the annuity payments will vary depending on the performance of the underlying mutual funds selected.
 
The first payment under a variable payment annuity is determined on the annuitization date based on the annuitant’s age (in accordance with the contract) by:
 
(1)
deducting applicable premium taxes from the total contract value; then
 
(2)
applying the contract value amount specified by the contract owner to the variable payment annuity table for the annuity payment option elected.
 
The dollar amount of the first payment is converted into a set number of annuity units that will represent each monthly payment.  This is done by dividing the dollar amount of the first payment by the value of an annuity unit as of the annuitization date.  This number of annuity units remains fixed during annuitization.  After annuitization, transfers among sub-accounts may only be made on the anniversary of the annuitization date.
 
The second and subsequent payments are determined by multiplying the fixed number of annuity units by the annuity unit value for the valuation period in which the payment is due.  The amount of the second and subsequent payments will vary with the performance of the selected underlying mutual funds.  Nationwide guarantees that variations in mortality experience from assumptions used to calculate the first payment will not affect the dollar amount of the second and subsequent payments.
 
Value of an Annuity Unit
 
Annuity unit values for sub-accounts are determined by:
 
(1)
multiplying the annuity unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period by the net investment factor for the subsequent valuation period (see "Determining the Contract Value"); and then
 
(2)
multiplying the result from (1) by an interest factor to neutralize the assumed investment rate of 3.5% per year built into the purchase rate basis for variable payment annuities.
 
Assumed Investment Rate
 
An assumed investment rate is the percentage rate of return assumed to determine the amount of the first payment under a variable payment annuity.  Nationwide uses the assumed investment rate of 3.5% to calculate the first annuity payment and to calculate the investment performance of an underlying mutual fund in order to determine subsequent payments under a variable payment annuity.  An assumed investment rate is the percentage rate of return required to maintain level variable annuity payments.  Subsequent variable annuity payments may be more or less than the first payment based on whether actual investment performance of the underlying mutual funds is higher or lower than the assumed investment rate of 3.5%.

19


 
Exchanges Among Underlying Mutual Funds
 
Exchanges among underlying mutual funds during annuitization must be requested in writing.  Exchanges will occur on each anniversary of the annuitization date.
 
Frequency and Amount of Annuity Payments
 
Payments are made based on the annuity payment option selected, unless:
 
·
the amount to be distributed is less than $5,000, in which case Nationwide may make one lump sum payment of the contract value; or
 
·
an annuity payment would be less than $50, in which case Nationwide can change the frequency of payments to intervals that will result in payments of at least $50.  Payments will be made at least annually.
 
Annuity payments will generally be received within 7 to 10 days after each annuity payment date.
 
Annuity Payment Options
 
Contract owners must elect an annuity payment option before the annuitization date.  Once elected or assumed, the annuity payment option may not be changed.  The annuity payment options are:
 
 
(1)
Life Annuity - An annuity payable periodically, but at least annually, for the lifetime of the annuitant.  Payments will end upon the annuitant’s death.  For example, if the annuitant dies before the second annuity payment date, the annuitant will receive only one annuity payment.  The annuitant will only receive two annuity payments if he or she dies before the third annuity payment date, and so on.
 
(2)
Joint and Survivor Annuity - An annuity payable periodically, but at least annually, during the joint lifetimes of the annuitant and a designated second individual.  If one of these parties dies, payments will continue for the lifetime of the survivor.  As is the case under option (1), there is no guaranteed number of payments.  Payments end upon the death of the last surviving party, regardless of the number of payments received.
 
(3)
Life Annuity with 120 or 240 Monthly Payments Guaranteed - An annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the annuitant.  If the annuitant dies before all of the guaranteed payments have been made, payments will continue to the end of the guaranteed period and will be paid to a designee chosen by the annuitant at the time the annuity payment option was elected.
 
The designee may elect to receive the present value of the remaining guaranteed payments in a lump sum.  The present value will be computed as of the date Nationwide receives the notice of the annuitant’s death.
 
If the annuitant does not elect an annuity payment option, a variable payment life annuity with a guarantee period of 240 months will be assumed as the automatic form of payment upon annuitization.  Once elected or assumed, the annuity payment option may not be changed.
 
Not all of the annuity payment options may be available in all states.  Contract owners may request other options before the annuitization date.  These options are subject to Nationwide’s approval.
 
No distribution for Non-Qualified Contracts will be made until an annuity payment option has been elected.  IRAs and SEP IRAs are subject to the "minimum distribution" requirements set forth in the plan, contract, and the Internal Revenue Code.
 
 
Death of Contract Owner - Non-Qualified Contracts
 
If a contract owner (including a joint owner) who is not the annuitant dies before the annuitization date, no death benefit is payable and the surviving joint owner becomes the contract owner.  If no joint owner is named, the contingent owner becomes the contract owner.  If no contingent owner is named, the last surviving contract owner’s estate becomes the contract owner.
 
If the contract owner and annuitant are the same, and the contract owner/annuitant dies before the annuitization date, the contingent owner will not have any rights in the contract unless the contingent owner is also the beneficiary.
 
Distributions under Non-Qualified Contracts will be made pursuant to the "Required Distributions for Non-Qualified Contracts" provision in Appendix C.
 
Death of Annuitant - Non-Qualified Contracts
 
If the annuitant who is not a contract owner dies before the annuitization date, a death benefit is payable to the beneficiary unless a contingent annuitant is named.  If a contingent annuitant is named, the contingent annuitant becomes the annuitant and no death benefit is payable.
 
If no beneficiary(ies) survive the annuitant, the contingent beneficiaries receives the death benefit.  Contingent beneficiaries will share the death benefit equally, unless otherwise specified.
 
If no beneficiaries or contingent beneficiaries survive the annuitant, the contract owner or the last surviving contract owner’s estate will receive the death benefit.
 
The contract owner may change the beneficiary or contingent beneficiary during the annuitant’s lifetime by submitting a written request to Nationwide.  Once recorded, the change will be effective as of the date it was signed, whether or not the annuitant was living at the time it was recorded.  The change will not affect any action taken by Nationwide before the change was recorded.
 
If the annuitant dies after the annuitization date, any benefit that may be payable will be paid according to the selected annuity payment option.
 
Death of Contract Owner/Annuitant
 
If a contract owner who is also the annuitant dies before the annuitization date, a death benefit is payable according to the "Death of the Annuitant – Non-Qualified Contracts" provision.
 
If the contract owner/annuitant dies after the annuitization date, any benefit that may be payable will be paid according to the selected annuity payment option.

20


 
How the Death Benefit Value is Determined
 
The death benefit value is determined as of the date Nationwide receives:
 
(1)
proper proof of the annuitant’s death;
 
(2)
an election specifying the distribution method; and
 
(3)
any state required form(s).
 
The beneficiary may elect to receive the death benefit:
 
(1)
in a lump sum;
 
(2)
as an annuity; or
 
(3)
in any other manner permitted by law and approved by Nationwide.
 
The beneficiary must notify Nationwide of this election within 60 days of the annuitant’s death.  If the recipient of the death benefit does not elect the form in which to receive the death benefit payment, Nationwide will pay the death benefit in a lump sum.
 
Contract value will continue to be allocated according to the most recent allocation instructions until the death benefit is paid.  If the contract has multiple beneficiaries entitled to receive a portion of the death benefit, the contract value will continue to be allocated according to the most recent allocation instructions until the first beneficiary is paid.  After the first beneficiary is paid, remaining contract value will be allocated to the available money market sub-account until instructions are received from the remaining beneficiary(ies).
 
Death Benefit Payment
 
Nationwide will pay (or begin to pay) the death benefit upon receiving proof of death and the instructions as to the payment of the death benefit.
 
For contracts issued on or after the later of May 1, 1998 or the date on which state insurance authorities approved applicable contract modifications:
 
If the annuitant dies prior to his or her 86th birthday, the dollar amount of the death benefit will be the greatest of:
 
(1)
the contract value;
 
(2)
the sum of all purchase payments, less an adjustment for amounts surrendered; or
 
(3)
the highest contract value as of the most recent five year contract anniversary, less an adjustment for amounts surrendered since that five year contract anniversary.
 
The adjustment for amounts surrendered will reduce items (2) and (3) above in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date(s) of the partial surrender(s).
 
If the annuitant dies on or after his or her 86th birthday and prior to the annuitization date the dollar amount of the death benefit will be equal to the contract value.
 
For contracts issued prior to May 1, 1998 or a date prior to which state insurance authorities approved applicable contract modifications:
 
If the annuitant dies prior to his or her 86th birthday, the dollar amount of the death benefit will be the greatest of:
 
(1)
the contract value;
 
(2)
the sum of all purchase payments, less any amounts surrendered; or
 
(3)
the highest contract value as of the most recent five year contract anniversary, less amounts surrendered since that five year contract anniversary.
 
If the annuitant dies on or after his or her 86th birthday and prior to annuitization, the death benefit will equal the contract value.
 
 
Nationwide will mail contract owners statements and reports.  Therefore, contract owners should promptly notify Nationwide of any address change.
 
These mailings will contain:
 
·
statements showing the contract’s quarterly activity;
 
·
confirmation statements showing transactions that affect the contract's value.  Confirmation statements will not be sent for recurring transactions (i.e., Dollar Cost Averaging or salary reduction programs).  Instead, confirmation of recurring transactions will appear in the contract’s quarterly statements;
 
·
semi-annual and annual reports of allocated underlying mutual funds.
 
Contract owners can receive information from Nationwide faster and reduce the amount of mail they receive by signing up for Nationwide’s eDelivery program.  Nationwide will notify contract owners by email when important documents (statements, prospectuses and other documents) are ready for a contract owner to view, print, or download from Nationwide’s secure server. To choose this option, go to www.nationwide.com/login.
 
Contract owners should review statements and confirmations carefully.  All errors or corrections must be reported to Nationwide immediately to assure proper crediting to the contract.  Unless Nationwide is notified within 30 days of receipt of the statement, Nationwide will assume statements and confirmation statements are correct.
 
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING DELIVERY OF
SECURITY HOLDER DOCUMENTS
 
When multiple copies of the same disclosure document(s), such as prospectuses, supplements, proxy statements and semi-annual and annual reports are required to be mailed to multiple contract owners in the same household, Nationwide will mail only one copy of each document, unless notified otherwise by the contract owner(s).  Household delivery will continue for the life of the contracts.  Please call 1-866-223-0303 to resume regular delivery.  Please allow 30 days for regular delivery to resume.
 
 
Nationwide is a party to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of its business.  It is often not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of the pending investigations and legal proceedings or to provide reasonable

21


ranges of potential losses with any degree of certainty.  Some matters, including certain of those referred to below, are in very preliminary stages, and Nationwide does not have sufficient information to make an assessment of the plaintiffs’ claims for liability or damages. In some of the cases seeking to be certified as class actions, the court has not yet decided whether a class will be certified or (in the event of certification) the size of the class and class period. In many of the cases, the plaintiffs are seeking undefined amounts of damages or other relief, including punitive damages and equitable remedies, which are difficult to quantify and cannot be defined based on the information currently available. Nationwide does not believe, based on information currently known by management, that the outcomes of such pending investigations and legal proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on Nationwide’s consolidated financial position. However, given the large and/or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material adverse effect on Nationwide’s consolidated financial results in a particular quarterly or annual period.
 
In recent years, life insurance companies have been named as defendants in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits relating to life insurance and annuity pricing and sales practices. A number of these lawsuits have resulted in substantial jury awards or settlements against life insurers other than Nationwide.
 
The financial services industry, including mutual fund, variable annuity, life insurance and distribution companies, has also been the subject of increasing scrutiny by regulators, legislators and the media over the past few years. Numerous regulatory agencies, including the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers and the New York State Attorney General, have commenced industry-wide investigations regarding late trading and market timing in connection with mutual funds and variable insurance contracts, and have commenced enforcement actions against some mutual fund and life insurance companies on those issues. Nationwide has been contacted by or received subpoenas from the SEC and the New York State Attorney General, who are investigating market timing in certain mutual funds offered in insurance products sponsored by Nationwide. Nationwide has cooperated with these investigations. Information requests from the New York State Attorney General and the SEC with respect to investigations into late trading and market timing were last responded to by Nationwide and its affiliates in December 2003 and June 2005, respectively, and no further information requests have been received with respect to these matters.
 
In addition, state and federal regulators have commenced investigations or other proceedings relating to compensation and bidding arrangements and possible anti-competitive activities between insurance producers and brokers and issuers of insurance products, and unsuitable sales and replacements by producers on behalf of the issuer. Also under investigation are compensation and revenue sharing arrangements between the issuers of variable insurance contracts and mutual funds or their affiliates, the use of side agreements and finite reinsurance agreements, funding agreements issued to back MTN programs, recordkeeping and retention compliance by broker/dealers, and supervision of former registered representatives. Related investigations and proceedings may be commenced in the future. Nationwide and/or its affiliates have been contacted by or received subpoenas from state and federal regulatory agencies, state securities law regulators and state attorneys general for information relating to certain of these investigations, including those relating to compensation, revenue sharing and bidding arrangements, anti-competitive activities, unsuitable sales or replacement practices, the use of side agreements and finite reinsurance agreements, and funding agreements backing the Nationwide’s MTN program. Nationwide is cooperating with regulators in connection with these inquiries and will cooperate with Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (NMIC) in responding to these inquiries to the extent that any inquiries encompass NMIC’s operations.
 
These proceedings are expected to continue in the future and could result in legal precedents and new industry-wide legislation, rules and regulations that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including life insurance and annuity companies. These proceedings also could affect the outcome of one or more of Nationwide’s litigation matters. There can be no assurance that any such litigation or regulatory actions will not have a material adverse effect on Nationwide in the future.
 
On November 15, 2006, Nationwide was named in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio entitled Kevin Beary, Sheriff of Orange County, Florida, In His Official Capacity, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Nationwide Life Insurance Co., Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. and Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of all sponsors of 457(b) deferred compensation plans in the United States that had variable annuity contracts with the defendants at any time during the class period, or in the alternative, all sponsors of 457(b) deferred compensation plans in Florida that had variable annuity contracts with the defendants during the class period. The Class Period is from January 1, 1996 until the Class Notice is provided. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by arranging for and retaining service payments from certain mutual funds. The complaint seeks an accounting, a declaratory judgment, a permanent injunction and disgorgement or restitution of the service fee payments allegedly received by the defendants, including interest. On January 25, 2007, Nationwide filed a motion to dismiss.  Nationwide intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
 
On February 11, 2005, Nationwide was named in a class action lawsuit filed in Common Pleas Court, Franklin County, Ohio entitled Michael Carr v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company. The complaint seeks recovery for breach of contract, fraud by omission, violation of the Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act and unjust enrichment. The complaint also seeks unspecified compensatory damages, disgorgement of all amounts in excess of the guaranteed maximum premium and attorneys’ fees. On February 2, 2006, the Court granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification on the breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims. The Court certified a class consisting of all residents of the United States and the Virgin Islands who, during the Class Period, paid premiums on a modal basis to Nationwide for term life insurance policies issued by Nationwide during the Class Period that provide for

guaranteed maximum premiums, excluding certain specified products. Excluded from the class are Nationwide; any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Nationwide; all employees, officers and directors of Nationwide; and any justice, judge or magistrate judge of the State of Ohio who may hear the case. The Class Period is from February 10, 1990 through February 2, 2006, the date the class was certified. On January 26, 2007, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. Nationwide continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
 
On April 13, 2004, Nationwide was named in a class action lawsuit filed in Circuit Court, Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, entitled Woodbury v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company. Nationwide removed this case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois on June 1, 2004.  On December 27, 2004, the case was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland and included in the multi-district proceeding entitled In Re Mutual Funds Investment Litigation. In response, on May 13, 2005, the plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint purporting to represent, with certain exceptions, a class of all persons who held (through their ownership of a Nationwide annuity or insurance product) units of any Nationwide sub-account invested in mutual funds that included foreign securities in their portfolios and that experienced market timing or stale price trading activity. The First Amended Complaint purports to disclaim, with respect to market timing or stale price trading in Nationwide’s annuities sub-accounts, any allegation based on Nationwide’s untrue statement, failure to disclose any material fact, or usage of any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance in connection with any class member’s purchases or sales of Nationwide annuities or units in annuities sub-accounts. The plaintiff claims, in the alternative, that if Nationwide is found with respect to market timing or stale price trading in its annuities sub-accounts, to have made any untrue statement, to have failed to disclose any material fact or to have used or employed any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance, then the plaintiff purports to represent a class, with certain exceptions, of all persons who, prior to Nationwide’s untrue statement, omission of material fact, use or employment of any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance, held (through their ownership of an Nationwide annuity or insurance product) units of any Nationwide sub-account invested in mutual funds that included foreign securities in their portfolios and that experienced market timing activity. The First Amended Complaint alleges common law negligence and seeks to recover damages not to exceed $75,000 per plaintiff or class member, including all compensatory damages and costs. On June 1, 2006, the District Court granted Nationwide’s motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s complaint. On November 29, 2006, the plaintiff filed its appellate brief with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals contesting the District Court’s dismissal. Nationwide continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
 
On January 21, 2004, Nationwide was named in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi entitled United Investors Life Insurance Company v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company and/or Nationwide Life Insurance Company of America and/or Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company and/or Nationwide Life and Annuity Company of America and/or Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. and/or Nationwide Financial Corporation, and John Does A-Z. In its complaint, the plaintiff alleges that Nationwide and/or its affiliated life insurance companies caused the replacement of variable insurance policies and other financial products issued by United Investors with policies issued by the Companies. The plaintiff raises claims for (1) violations of the Federal Lanham Act, and common law unfair competition and defamation; (2) tortious interference with the plaintiff’s contractual relationship with Waddell & Reed, Inc. and/or its affiliates, Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc. and W&R Insurance Agency, Inc., or with the plaintiff’s contractual relationships with its variable policyholders; (3) civil conspiracy; and (4) breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, a full accounting, a constructive trust and costs and disbursements, including attorneys’ fees. On December 30, 2005, Nationwide filed a motion for summary judgment. On June 15, 2006, the District Court granted Nationwide’s motion for summary judgment on all grounds and dismissed the plaintiff’s entire case with prejudice. The plaintiff appealed the District Court’s decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeal has been fully briefed, and Nationwide is awaiting a decision. Nationwide continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
 
On August 15, 2001, Nationwide was named in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut entitled Lou Haddock, as trustee of the Flyte Tool & Die, Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan, et al v. Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. and Nationwide Life Insurance Company. Currently, the plaintiffs’ fifth amended complaint, filed March 21, 2006, purports to represent a class of qualified retirement plans under ERISA that purchased variable annuities from Nationwide. The plaintiffs allege that they invested ERISA plan assets in their variable annuity contracts and that Nationwide breached ERISA fiduciary duties by allegedly accepting service payments from certain mutual funds. The complaint seeks disgorgement of some or all of the payments allegedly received by Nationwide, other unspecified relief for restitution, declaratory and injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees. To date, the District Court has rejected the plaintiffs’ request for certification of the alleged class. Nationwide’s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ fifth amended complaint is currently pending before the court. Nationwide continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

Types of Contracts
 
The contracts described in this prospectus are classified according to the tax treatment to which they are subject under the Internal Revenue Code.  The following is a general description of the various types of contracts.  Eligibility requirements, tax benefits (if any), limitations, and other features of the contracts will differ depending on the type of contract.
 
Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs)
 
IRAs are contracts that satisfy the provisions of Section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, including the following requirements:
 
·
the contract is not transferable by the owner;
 
·
the premiums are not fixed;
 
·
if the contract owner is younger than age 50, the annual premium cannot exceed $4,000; if the contract owner is age 50 or older, the annual premium cannot exceed $5,000 (although rollovers of greater amounts from qualified plans, Tax Sheltered Annuities and other IRAs can be received);
 
·
certain minimum distribution requirements must be satisfied after the owner attains the age of 70½;
 
·
the entire interest of the owner in the contract is nonforfeitable; and
 
·
after the death of the owner, additional distribution requirements may be imposed to ensure distribution of the entire balance in the contract within the statutory period of time.
 
Depending on the circumstance of the owner, all or a portion of the contributions made to the account may be deducted for federal income tax purposes.
 
Failure to make the mandatory distributions can result in an additional penalty tax of 50% of the excess of the amount required to be distributed over the amount that was actually distributed.
 
IRAs may receive rollover contributions from other Individual Retirement Accounts, other Individual Retirement Annuities, Tax Sheltered Annuities, certain 457 governmental plans and qualified retirement plans (including 401(k) plans).
 
When the owner of an IRA attains the age of 70½, the Internal Revenue Code requires that certain minimum distributions be made.  In addition, upon the death of the owner of an IRA, mandatory distribution requirements are imposed by the Internal Revenue Code to ensure distribution of the entire contract value within the required statutory period.  Due to recent changes in Treasury Regulations, the amount used to compute the mandatory distributions may exceed the contract value.
 
For further details regarding IRAs, please refer to the disclosure statement provided when the IRA was established.
 
Non-Qualified Contracts
 
A Non-Qualified Contract is a contract that does not qualify for certain tax benefits under the Internal Revenue Code, and which is not an IRA, a Roth IRA, a SEP IRA, a Simple IRA, or a Tax Sheltered Annuity.
 
Upon the death of the owner of a Non-Qualified Contract, mandatory distribution requirements are imposed to ensure distribution of the entire balance in the contract within a required period.
 
Non-Qualified contracts that are owned by natural persons allow the deferral of taxation on the income earned in the contract until it is distributed or deemed to be distributed.  Non-Qualified contracts that are owned by nonnatural persons, such as trusts, corporations and partnerships are generally subject to current income tax on the gain earned inside the contract, unless the nonnatural person owns the contract as an “agent” of a natural person.
 
Roth IRAs
 
Roth IRA contracts are contracts that satisfy the provisions of Section 408A of the Internal Revenue Code, including the following requirements:
 
·
the contract is not transferable by the owner;
 
·
the premiums are not fixed;
 
·
if the contract owner is younger than age 50, the annual premium cannot exceed $4,000; if the contract owner is age 50 or older, the annual premium cannot exceed $5,000 (although rollovers of greater amounts from other Roth IRAs and IRAs can be received);
 
·
the entire interest of the owner in the contract is nonforfeitable; and
 
·
after the death of the owner, certain distribution requirements may be imposed to ensure distribution of the entire balance in the contract within the statutory period of time.
 
A Roth IRA can receive a rollover from an IRA; however, the amount rolled over from the IRA to the Roth IRA is required to be included in the owner's federal gross income at the time of the rollover, and will be subject to federal income tax.
 
There are income limitations on eligibility to participate in a Roth IRA and additional income limitations for eligibility to roll over amounts from an IRA to a Roth IRA.
 
For further details regarding Roth IRAs, please refer to the disclosure statement provided when the Roth IRA was established.
 
Simplified Employee Pension IRAs (SEP IRA)
 
A SEP IRA is a written plan established by an employer for the benefit of employees which permits the employer to make contributions to an IRA established for the benefit of each employee.

59


 
An employee may make deductible contributions to a SEP IRA subject to the same restrictions and limitations as an IRA.  In addition, the employer may make contributions to the SEP IRA, subject to dollar and percentage limitations imposed by both the Internal Revenue Code and the written plan.
 
A SEP IRA plan must satisfy:
 
·
minimum participation rules;
 
·
top-heavy contribution rules;
 
·
nondiscriminatory allocation rules; and
 
·
requirements regarding a written allocation formula.
 
In addition, the plan cannot restrict withdrawals of non-elective contributions, and must restrict withdrawals of elective contributions before March 15th of the following year.
 
When the owner of SEP IRA attains the age of 70½, the Internal Revenue Code requires that certain minimum distributions be made.  Due to recent changes in Treasury Regulations, the amount used to compute the minimum distributions may exceed the contract value. In addition, upon the death of the owner of a SEP IRA, mandatory distribution requirements are imposed by the Internal Revenue Code to ensure distribution of the entire contract value within the required statutory period.
 
Tax Sheltered Annuities
 
Certain tax-exempt organizations (described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) and public school systems may establish a plan under which annuity contracts can be purchased for their employees.  These annuity contracts are often referred to as Tax Sheltered Annuities.
 
Purchase payments made to Tax Sheltered Annuities are excludable from the income of the employee, up to statutory maximum amounts.  These amounts should be set forth in the plan adopted by the employer.
 
Tax Sheltered Annuities may receive rollover contributions from Individual Retirement Accounts, Individual Retirement Annuities, other Tax Sheltered Annuities, certain 457 governmental plans, and qualified retirement plans (including 401(k) plans).
 
The owner's interest in the contract is nonforfeitable (except for failure to pay premiums) and cannot be transferred.
 
When the owner of a Tax Sheltered Annuity attains the age of 70½, the Internal Revenue Code requires that certain minimum distributions be made.  Due to recent changes in Treasury Regulations, the amount used to compute the minimum distributions may exceed the contract value.  In addition, upon the death of the owner of a Tax Sheltered Annuity, mandatory distribution requirements are imposed by the Internal Revenue Code to ensure distribution of the entire contract value within the required statutory period.
 
Federal Tax Considerations
 
Federal Income Taxes
 
The tax consequences of purchasing a contract described in this prospectus will depend on:
 
·
the type of contract purchased;
 
·
the purposes for which the contract is purchased; and
 
·
the personal circumstances of individual investors having interests in the contracts.
 
Existing tax rules are subject to change, and may affect individuals differently depending on their situation.  Nationwide does not guarantee the tax status of any contracts or any transactions involving the contracts.
 
Representatives of the Internal Revenue Service have informally suggested, from time to time, that the number of underlying mutual funds available or the number of transfer opportunities available under a variable product may be relevant in determining whether the product qualifies for the desired tax treatment.  In 2003, the Internal Revenue Service issued formal guidance, in Revenue Ruling 2003-91, 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 Internal Revenue Service 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.  Should the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury issue additional rules or regulations limiting the number of underlying mutual funds, transfers between 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 under Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code, Nationwide will take whatever steps are available to remain in compliance.
 
If the contract is purchased as an investment of certain retirement plans (such as qualified retirement plans, Individual Retirement Accounts, and custodial accounts as described in Sections 401, 408(a), and 403(b)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code), tax advantages enjoyed by the contract owner and/or annuitant may relate to participation in the plan rather than ownership of the annuity contract.  Such plans are permitted to purchase investments other than annuities and retain tax-deferred status.
 
The following is a brief summary of some of the federal income tax considerations related to the contracts.  In addition to the federal income tax, distributions from annuity contracts may be subject to state and local income taxes.  The tax rules across all states and localities are not uniform and therefore will not be discussed in this prospectus.  Tax rules that may apply to contracts issued in U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and Guam are also not discussed.  Nothing in this prospectus should be considered to be tax advice.  Contract owners and prospective contract owners should consult a financial consultant, tax adviser or legal counsel to discuss the taxation and use of the contracts.

IRA, and SEP IRAs
 
Distributions from IRAs and SEP IRAs are generally taxed as ordinary income when received.  If any of the amount contributed to the Individual Retirement Annuity was nondeductible for federal income tax purposes, then a portion of each distribution is excludable from income.
 
If distributions of income from an IRA are made prior to the date that the owner attains the age of 59½ years, the income is subject to both the regular income tax and an additional penalty tax of 10% is generally applicable.  The 10% penalty tax can be avoided if the distribution is:
 
·
made to a beneficiary on or after the death of the owner;
 
·
attributable to the owner becoming disabled (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code);
 
·
part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually made for the life (or life expectancy) of the owner, or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the owner and his or her designated beneficiary;
 
·
used for qualified higher education expenses; or
 
·
used for expenses attributable to the purchase of a home for a qualified first-time buyer.
 
If the contract owner dies before the contract is completely distributed, the balance will be included in the contract owner’s gross estate for tax purposes.
 
Roth IRAs
 
Distributions of earnings from Roth IRAs are taxable or nontaxable depending upon whether they are "qualified distributions" or "non-qualified distributions."  A "qualified distribution" is one that satisfies the five-year rule and meets one of the following requirements:
 
·
it is made on or after the date on which the contract owner attains age 59½;
 
·
it is made to a beneficiary (or the contract owner’s estate) on or after the death of the contract owner;
 
·
it is attributable to the contract owner’s disability; or
 
·
it is used for expenses attributable to the purchase of a home for a qualified first-time buyer.
 
The five-year rule generally is satisfied if the distribution is not made within the five year period beginning with the first taxable year in which a contribution is made to any Roth IRA established for the owner.
 
A qualified distribution is not included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
 
A non-qualified distribution is not includable in gross income to the extent that the distribution, when added to all previous distributions, does not exceed the total amount of contributions made to the Roth IRA.  Any non-qualified distribution in excess of total contributions is includable in the contract owner’s gross income as ordinary income in the year that it is distributed to the contract owner.
 
Special rules apply for Roth IRAs that have proceeds received from an IRA prior to January 1, 1999 if the owner elected the special 4-year income averaging provisions that were in effect for 1998.
 
If non-qualified distributions of income from a Roth IRA are made prior to the date that the owner attains the age of 59½ years, the income is subject to both the regular income tax and an additional penalty tax of 10%.  The penalty tax can be avoided if the distribution is:
 
·
made to a beneficiary on or after the death of the owner;
 
·
attributable to the owner becoming disabled (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code);
 
·
part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually made for the life (or life expectancy) of the owner, or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the owner and his or her designated beneficiary;
 
·
for qualified higher education expenses; or
 
·
used for expenses attributable to the purchase of a home for a qualified first-time buyer.
 
If the contract owner dies before the contract is completely distributed, the balance will be included in the contract owner’s gross estate for tax purposes.
 
Tax Sheltered Annuities
 
Distributions from Tax Sheltered Annuities are generally taxed when received.  A portion of each distribution after the annuitization date is excludable from income based on a formula established pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.  The formula excludes from income the amount invested in the contract divided by the number of anticipated payments until the full investment in the contract is recovered.  Thereafter all distributions are fully taxable.
 
If a distribution of income is made from a Tax Sheltered Annuity prior to the date that the owner attains the age of 59½ years, the income is subject to both the regular income tax and an additional penalty tax of 10%.  The penalty tax can be avoided if the distribution is:
 
·
made to a beneficiary on or after the death of the owner;
 
·
attributable to the owner becoming disabled (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code);
 
·
part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually made for the life (or life expectancy) of the owner, or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the owner and his or her designated beneficiary; or
 
·
made to the owner after separation from service with his or her employer after age 55.
 
A loan from a Tax Sheltered Annuity generally is not considered to be a distribution, and is therefore generally not taxable.  However, if the loan is not repaid in accordance with the repayment schedule, the entire balance of the loan would be treated as being in default, and the defaulted amount would be treated as being distributed to the participant as a taxable distribution.

61


 
If the contract owner dies before the contract is completely distributed, the balance will be included in the contract owner’s gross estate for tax purposes.
 
Non-Qualified Contracts - Natural Persons as Contract Owners
 
Generally, the income earned inside a Non-Qualified Annuity Contract that is owned by a natural person is not taxable until it is distributed from the contract.
 
Distributions before the annuitization date are taxable to the contract owner to the extent that the cash value of the contract exceeds the contract owner’s investment in the contract at the time of the distribution.  In general, the investment in the contract is equal to the purchase payment made with after-tax dollars.  Distributions, for this purpose, include full and partial surrenders, any portion of the contract that is assigned or pledged, amounts borrowed from the contract, or any portion of the contract that is transferred by gift.  For these purposes, a transfer by gift may occur upon annuitization if the contract owner and the annuitant are not the same individual.
 
With respect to annuity distributions on or after the annuitization date, a portion of each annuity payment is excludable from taxable income.  The amount excludable is based on the ratio between the contract owner’s investment in the contract and the expected return on the contract.  Once the entire investment in the contract is recovered, all distributions are fully includable in income.  The maximum amount excludable from income is the investment in the contract.  If the annuitant dies before the entire investment in the contract has been excluded from income, and as a result of the annuitant's death no more payments are due under the contract, then the unrecovered investment in the contract may be deducted on his or her final tax return.
 
In determining the taxable amount of a distribution, all annuity contracts issued after October 21, 1988 by the same company to the same contract owner during the same calendar year will be treated as one annuity contract.
 
A special rule applies to distributions from contracts that have investments that were made prior to August 14, 1982.  For those contracts, distributions that are made prior to the annuitization date are treated first as a recovery of the investment in the contract as of that date.  A distribution in excess of the amount of the investment in the contract as of August 14, 1982, will be treated as taxable income.
 
The Internal Revenue Code imposes a penalty tax if a distribution is made before the contract owner reaches age 59½.  The amount of the penalty is 10% of the portion of any distribution that is includable in gross income.  The penalty tax does not apply if the distribution is:
 
·
the result of a contract owner’s death;
 
·
the result of a contract owner’s disability, (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code);
 
·
one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over the life (or life expectancy) of the contract owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the contract owner and the beneficiary selected by the contract owner to receive payment under the annuity payment option selected by the contract owner; or
 
·
is allocable to an investment in the contract before August 14, 1982.
 
If the contract owner dies before the contract is completely distributed, the balance will be included in the contract owner’s gross estate for tax purposes.
 
Non-Qualified Contracts - Non-Natural Persons as Contract Owners
 
The previous discussion related to the taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts owned by individuals.  Different rules (the so-called "non-natural persons" rules) apply if the contract owner is not a natural person.
 
Generally, contracts owned by corporations, partnerships, trusts, and similar entities are not treated as annuity contracts under the Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, income earned under a Non-Qualified Contract that is owned by a non-natural person is taxed as ordinary income during the taxable year that it is earned.  Taxation is not deferred, even if the income is not distributed out of the contract.  The income is taxable as ordinary income, not capital gain.
 
The non-natural persons rules do not apply to all entity-owned contracts.  For purposes of the rule that annuity contracts that are owned by non-natural persons are not treated as annuity contracts for tax purposes, a contract that is owned by a non-natural person as an agent of an individual is treated as owned by the individual.  This would cause the contract to be treated as an annuity under the Internal Revenue Code, allowing tax deferral.  However, this exception does not apply when the non-natural person is an employer that holds the contract under a non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement for one or more employees.
 
The non-natural persons rules also do not apply to contracts that are:
 
·
acquired by the estate of a decedent by reason of the death of the decedent;
 
·
issued in connection with certain qualified retirement plans and individual retirement plans;
 
·
purchased by an employer upon the termination of certain qualified retirement plans; or
 
·
immediate annuities within the meaning of Section 72(u) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
If the annuitant dies before the contract is completely distributed, the balance may be included in the annuitant’s gross estate for tax purposes, depending on the obligations that the non-natural owner may have owed to the annuitant.
 
Withholding
 
Pre-death distributions from the contracts are subject to federal income tax.  Nationwide will withhold the tax from the distributions unless the contract owner requests otherwise.  If the distribution is from a Tax Sheltered Annuity, it will be subject to mandatory 20% withholding that cannot be waived, unless:

62


 
·
the distribution is made directly to another Tax Sheltered Annuity, qualified pension or profit-sharing plan described in section 401(a), an eligible deferred compensation plan described in section 457(b) which is maintained by an eligible employer described in section 457(e)(1)(A)  or IRA; or
 
·
the distribution satisfies the minimum distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
In addition, under some circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code will not permit contract owners to waive withholding.  Such circumstances include:
 
·
if the payee does not provide Nationwide with a taxpayer identification number; or
 
·
if Nationwide receives notice from the Internal Revenue Service that the taxpayer identification number furnished by the payee is incorrect.
 
If a contract owner is prohibited from waiving withholding, as described above, the distribution will be subject to mandatory back-up withholding.  The mandatory back-up withholding rate is established by Section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code and is applied against the amount of income that is distributed.
 
Non-Resident Aliens
 
Generally, a pre-death distribution from a contract to a non-resident alien is subject to federal income tax at a rate of 30% of the amount of income that is distributed.  Nationwide is required to withhold this amount and send it to the Internal Revenue Service.  Some distributions to non-resident aliens may be subject to a lower (or no) tax if a treaty applies.  In order to obtain the benefits of such a treaty, the non-resident alien must:
 
(1)
provide Nationwide with a properly completed withholding certificate claiming the treaty benefit of a lower tax rate or exemption from tax; and
 
(2)
provide Nationwide with an individual taxpayer identification number.
 
If the non-resident alien does not meet the above conditions, Nationwide will withhold 30% of income from the distribution.
 
Another exemption from the 30% withholding is for the non-resident alien to provide Nationwide with sufficient evidence that:
 
1)
the distribution is connected to the non-resident alien’s conduct of business in the United States;
 
2)
the distribution is  includable in the non-resident alien’s gross income for United States federal income tax purposes; and
 
3)
provide Nationwide with a properly completed withholding certificate claiming the exemption.
 
Note that these distributions would be subject to the same withholding rules that are applicable to payments to United States persons, including back-up withholding, which is currently at a rate of 28%, if a correct taxpayer identification number is not provided.
 
Federal Estate, Gift and Generation Skipping Transfer Taxes
 
The following transfers may be considered a gift for federal gift tax purposes:
 
·
a transfer of the contract from one contract owner to another; or
 
·
a distribution to someone other than a contract owner.
 
Upon the contract owner’s death, the value of the contract may be subject to estate taxes, even if all or a portion of the value is also subject to federal income taxes.
 
Section 2612 of the Internal Revenue Code may require Nationwide to determine whether a death benefit or other distribution is a "direct skip" and the amount of the resulting generation skipping transfer tax, if any.  A direct skip is when property is transferred to, or a death benefit or other distribution is made to:
 
a)
an individual who is two or more generations younger than the contract owner; or
 
b)
certain trusts, as described in Section 2613 of the Internal Revenue Code (generally, trusts that have no beneficiaries who are not 2 or more generations younger than the contract owner).
 
If the contract owner is not an individual, then for this purpose only, "contract owner" refers to any person:
 
·
who would be required to include the contract, death benefit, distribution, or other payment in his or her federal gross estate at his or her death; or
 
·
who is required to report the transfer of the contract, death benefit, distribution, or other payment for federal gift tax purposes.
 
If a transfer is a direct skip, Nationwide will deduct the amount of the transfer tax from the death benefit, distribution or other payment, and remit it directly to the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Charge for Tax
 
Nationwide is not required to maintain a capital gain reserve liability on Non-Qualified Contracts.  If tax laws change requiring a reserve, Nationwide may implement and adjust a tax charge.
 
Diversification
 
Internal Revenue Code Section 817(h) contains rules on diversification requirements for variable annuity contracts.  A variable annuity contract that does not meet these diversification requirements will not be treated as an annuity, unless:
 
·
the failure to diversify was accidental;
 
·
the failure is corrected; and
 
·
a fine is paid to the Internal Revenue Service.
 
The amount of the fine will be the amount of tax that would have been paid by the contract owner if the income, for the period the contract was not diversified, had been received by the contract owner.

63


If the violation is not corrected, the contract owner will be considered the owner of the underlying securities and will be taxed on the earnings of his or her contract.  Nationwide believes that the investments underlying this contract meet these diversification requirements.
 
Tax Changes
 
The foregoing tax information is based on Nationwide’s understanding of federal tax laws.  It is NOT intended as tax advice.  All information is subject to change without notice.  You should consult with your personal tax and/or financial adviser for more information.
 
In 2001, the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA) was enacted.  EGTRRA made numerous changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including the following:
 
·
generally lowering federal income tax rates;
 
·
increasing the amounts that may be contributed to various retirement plans, such as IRAs, Tax Sheltered Annuities and Qualified Plans;
 
·
increasing the portability of various retirement plans by permitting IRAs, Tax Sheltered Annuities, Qualified Plans and certain governmental 457 plans to "roll" money from one plan to another;
 
·
eliminating and/or reducing the highest federal estate tax rates;
 
·
increasing the estate tax credit; and
 
·
for persons dying after 2009, repealing the estate tax.
 
In 2006, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 made permanent the EGTRRA provisions noted above that increase the amounts that may be contributed to various retirement plans and that increase the portability of various retirement plans. However,  all of the other changes resulting from EGTRRA are scheduled to "sunset," or become ineffective, after December 31, 2010 unless they are extended by additional legislation.  If changes resulting from EGTRRA are not extended, beginning January 1, 2011, the Internal Revenue Code will be restored to its pre-EGTRRA form.
 
This creates uncertainty as to future tax requirements and implications.  Please consult a qualified tax or financial adviser for further information relating to EGTRRA and other tax issues.
 
Required Distributions
 
Any distribution paid that is NOT due to payment of the death benefit may be subject to a CDSC.
 
The Internal Revenue Code requires that certain distributions be made from the contracts issued in conjunction with this prospectus.  Following is an overview of the required distribution rules applicable to each type of contract.  Please consult a qualified tax or financial adviser for more specific required distribution information.
 
Required Distributions – General Information
 
In general, a beneficiary is an individual or other entity that the contract owner designates to receive death proceeds upon the contract owner’s death.  The distribution rules in the Internal Revenue Code make a distinction between "beneficiary" and "designated beneficiary" when determining the life expectancy that may be used for payments that are made from IRAs, SEP IRAs, Simple IRAs, Roth IRAs and Tax Sheltered Annuities after the death of the annuitant, or that are made from Non-Qualified Contracts after the death of the contract owner.  A designated beneficiary is a natural person who is designated by the contract owner as the beneficiary under the contract.  Non-natural beneficiaries (e.g. charities or certain trusts) are not designated beneficiaries for the purpose of required distributions and the life expectancy of such a beneficiary is zero.
 
Life expectancies and joint life expectancies will be determined in accordance with the relevant guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department, including but not limited to Treasury Regulation 1.72-9 and Treasury Regulation 1.401(a)(9)-9.
 
Required distributions paid upon the death of the contract owner are paid to the beneficiary or beneficiaries stipulated by the contract owner.  How quickly the distributions must be made may be determined with respect to the life expectancies of the beneficiaries.  For Non-Qualified Contracts, the beneficiaries used in the determination of the distribution period are those in effect on the date of the contract owner’s death.  For contracts other than Non-Qualified Contracts, the beneficiaries used in the determination of the distribution period do not have to be determined until December 31 of the year following the contract owner’s death.  If there is more than one beneficiary, the life expectancy of the beneficiary with the shortest life expectancy is used to determine the distribution period.  Any beneficiary that is not a designated beneficiary has a life expectancy of zero.
 
Required Distributions for Non-Qualified Contracts
 
Internal Revenue Code Section 72(s) requires Nationwide to make certain distributions when a contract owner dies.  The following distributions will be made in accordance with the following requirements:
 
(1)
If any contract owner dies on or after the annuitization date and before the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, then the remaining interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as the distribution method in effect on the contract owner's death.
 
(2)
If any contract owner dies before the annuitization date, then the entire interest in the contract (consisting of either the death benefit or the contract value reduced by charges set forth elsewhere in the contract) will be distributed within 5 years of the contract owner’s death, provided however:
 
(a)
any interest payable to or for the benefit of a designated beneficiary may be distributed over the life of the designated beneficiary or over a period not longer than the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary.  Payments must begin within one year of the contract owner's death unless otherwise permitted by federal income tax regulations; and

64


 
(b)
if the designated beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the deceased contract owner, the spouse can choose to become the contract owner instead of receiving a death benefit.  Any distributions required under these distribution rules will be made upon that spouse’s death.
 
In the event that the contract owner is not a natural person (e.g., a trust or corporation), for purposes of these distribution provisions:
 
(a)
the death of the annuitant will be treated as the death of a contract owner;
 
(b)
any change of annuitant will be treated as the death of a contract owner; and
 
(c)
in either case, the appropriate distribution will be made upon the death or change, as the case may be.
 
These distribution provisions do not apply to any contract exempt from Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code by reason of Section 72(s)(5) or any other law or rule.
 
Required Distributions for Tax Sheltered Annuities, IRAs, SEP IRAs and Roth IRAs
 
Distributions from a Tax Sheltered Annuity, IRA or SEP IRA must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the contract owner reaches age 70½.  Distributions may be paid in a lump sum or in substantially equal payments over:
 
(a)
the life of the contract owner or the joint lives of the contract owner and the contract owner’s designated beneficiary; or
 
(b)
a period not longer than the period determined under the table in Treasury Regulation 1.401(a)(9)-9, which is the deemed joint life expectancy of the contract owner and a person 10 years younger than the contract owner.  If the designated beneficiary is the spouse of the contract owner, the period may not exceed the longer of the period determined under such table or the joint life expectancy of the contract owner and the contract owner’s spouse, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.72-9, or such additional guidance as may be provided pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.401(a)(9)-9.
 
For Tax Sheltered Annuities, required distributions do not have to be withdrawn from this contract if they are being withdrawn from another Tax Sheltered Annuity of the contract owner.
 
For IRAs and SEP IRAs, required distributions do not have to be withdrawn from this contract if they are being withdrawn from another IRA or SEP IRA of the contract owner.
 
If the contract owner’s entire interest in a Tax Sheltered Annuity, IRA or SEP IRA will be distributed in equal or substantially equal payments over a period described in (a) or (b) above, the payments must begin on or before the required beginning date.  The required beginning date is April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the contract owner reaches age 70½.  The rules for Roth IRAs do not require distributions to begin during the contract owner’s lifetime, therefore, the required beginning date is not applicable to Roth IRAs.
 
Due to recent changes in Treasury Regulations, the amount used to compute the minimum distribution requirement may exceed the contract value.
 
If the contract owner dies before the required beginning date (in the case of a Tax Sheltered Annuity, IRA or SEP IRA) or before the entire contract value is distributed (in the case of Roth IRAs), any remaining interest in the contract must be distributed over a period not exceeding the applicable distribution period, which is determined as follows:
 
(a)
if the designated beneficiary is the contract owner’s spouse, the applicable distribution period is the surviving spouse’s remaining life expectancy using the surviving spouse’s birthday for each distribution calendar year after the calendar year of the contract owner’s death.  For calendar years after the death of the contract owner’s surviving spouse, the applicable distribution period is the spouse’s remaining life expectancy using the spouse’s age in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each calendar year that elapsed since the calendar year immediately following the calendar year of the spouse’s death;
 
(b)
if the designated beneficiary is not the contract owner’s surviving spouse, the applicable distribution period is the designated beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy using the designated beneficiary’s birthday in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year of the contract owner’s death, reduced by one for each calendar year that elapsed thereafter; and
 
(c)
if there is no designated beneficiary, the entire balance of the contract must be distributed by December 31 of the fifth year following the contract owner’s death.
 
If the contract owner dies on or after the required beginning date, the interest in the Tax Sheltered Annuity, IRA or SEP IRA must be distributed over a period not exceeding the applicable distribution period, which is determined as follows:
 
(a)
if the designated beneficiary is the contract owner’s spouse, the applicable distribution period is the surviving spouse’s remaining life expectancy using the surviving spouse’s birthday for each distribution calendar year after the calendar year of the contract owner’s death.  For calendar years after the death of the contract owner’s surviving spouse, the applicable distribution period is the spouse’s remaining life expectancy using the spouse’s age in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each calendar year that elapsed since the calendar year immediately following the calendar year of the spouse’s death;
 
(b)
if the designated beneficiary is not the contract owner’s surviving spouse, the applicable distribution period is the designated beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy using the designated beneficiary’s birthday in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year of the contract owner’s death, reduced by one for each calendar year that elapsed thereafter; and

65


 
(c)
if there is no designated beneficiary, the applicable distribution period is the contract owner’s remaining life expectancy using the contract owner’s birthday in the calendar year of the contract owner’s death, reduced by one for each year thereafter.
 
If distribution requirements are not met, a penalty tax of 50% is levied on the difference between the amount that should have been distributed for that year and the amount that actually was distributed for that year.
 
For IRAs and SEP IRAs, all or a portion of each distribution will be included in the recipient’s gross income and taxed at ordinary income tax rates.  The portion of a distribution that is taxable is based on the ratio between the amount by which non-deductible purchase payments exceed prior non-taxable distributions and total account balances at the time of the distribution.  The owner of an IRA or SEP IRA must annually report the amount of non-deductible purchase payments, the amount of any distribution, the amount by which non-deductible purchase payments for all years exceed non taxable distributions for all years, and the total balance of all IRAs or SEP IRAs.
 
Distributions from Roth IRAs may be either taxable or nontaxable, depending upon whether they are "qualified distributions" or "non-qualified distributions."

Nationwide Variable Account-II is a separate investment account of Nationwide Life Insurance Company ("Nationwide").  Nationwide is a member of the Nationwide group of companies.  All of Nationwide's common stock is owned by Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. ("NFS"), a holding company.  NFS has two classes of common stock outstanding with different voting rights enabling Nationwide Corporation (the holder of all of the outstanding Class B Common Stock) to control NFS.  Nationwide Corporation is a holding company, as well.  All of its common stock is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), the ultimate controlling persons of the Nationwide group of companies.  The Nationwide group of companies is one of America's largest insurance and financial services family of companies, with combined assets of over $160 billion as of December 31, 2006.
 
 
Nationwide, which has responsibility for administration of the contracts and the variable account, maintains records of the name, address, taxpayer identification number, and other pertinent information for each contract owner and the number and type of contract issued to each contract owner and records with respect to the contract value.
 
The custodian of the assets of the variable account is Nationwide.  Nationwide will maintain a record of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the underlying mutual funds.  Nationwide, or its affiliates may have entered into agreements with the underlying mutual funds and/or their affiliates.  The agreements relate to services furnished by Nationwide or an affiliate of Nationwide.  Some of the services provided include distribution of underlying fund prospectuses, semi-annual and annual fund reports, proxy materials and fund communications, as well as maintaining the websites and voice response systems necessary for contract owners to execute trades in the funds.  Nationwide also acts as a limited agent for the fund for purposes of accepting the trades.
 
See “Underlying Mutual Fund Payments” located in the prospectus.
 
Distribution, Promotional, and Sales Expenses
 
In addition to or partially in lieu of commission, Nationwide may pay the selling firms a marketing allowance, which is based on the firm’s ability and demonstrated willingness to promote and market Nationwide's products.  How any marketing allowance is spent is determined by the firm, but generally will be used to finance firm activities, such as training and education, that may contribute to the promotion and marketing of Nationwide's products.  Nationwide makes certain assumptions about the amount of marketing allowance it will pay and takes these assumptions into consideration when it determines the charges that will be assessed under the contracts.  For the contracts described in the prospectus, Nationwide assumed 0.00% (of the daily net assets of the variable account) for marketing allowance when determining the charges for the contracts.  The actual amount of the marketing allowance may be higher or lower than this assumption.  If the actual amount of marketing allowance paid is more than what was assumed, Nationwide will fund the difference.  Nationwide generally does not profit from any excess marketing allowance if the amount assumed was higher than what is actually paid.  Any excess would be spent on additional marketing for the contracts.  For more information about marketing allowance or how a particular selling firm uses marketing allowances, please consult with your registered representative.
 
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The financial statements of Nationwide Variable Account – II and the consolidated financial statements and schedules of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries for the periods indicated have been included herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG

1


 
LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.  The audit report of KPMG LLP covering the December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements and schedules of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries contains an explanatory paragraph that states that Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 03-1, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts, in 2004.  KPMG LLP is located at 191 West Nationwide Blvd., Columbus, Ohio, 43215.
 
 
The contracts will be sold by licensed insurance agents in the states where the contracts may be lawfully sold.  Such agents will be registered representatives of broker-dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
 
 
The contracts, which are offered continuously, are distributed by Nationwide Investment Services Corporation ("NISC"), One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio, 43215, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide.  For contracts issued in Michigan, all references to NISC will mean Nationwide Investment Svcs. Corporation.  During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, no underwriting commissions were paid by Nationwide to NISC.
 
 
Money Market Yields
 
Nationwide may advertise the "yield" and "effective yield" for the money market sub-account.  Yield and effective yield are annualized, which means that it is assumed that the underlying mutual fund generates the same level of net income throughout a year.
 
Yield is a measure of the net dividend and interest income earned over a specific seven-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement) expressed as a percentage of the offering price of the underlying mutual fund’s units.  The effective yield is calculated similarly, but reflects assumed compounding, calculated under rules prescribed by the SEC.  Thus, effective yield will be slightly higher than yield, due to the compounding.
 
Historical Performance of the Sub-Accounts
 
Nationwide will advertise historical performance of the sub-accounts in accordance with SEC prescribed calculations.  Performance information is annualized.  However, if a sub-account has been available in the variable account for less than one year, the performance information for that sub-account is not annualized.  Performance information is based on historical earnings and is not intended to predict or project future results.
 
Standardized performance will reflect the maximum variable account charges possible under the contract, the Contract Maintenance Charge, and the standard CDSC schedule.  Non-tandardized performance, which will be accompanied by standardized performance, will reflect other expense structures contemplated under the contract.  The expense assumptions will be stated in the advertisement.
 
Additional Materials
 
Nationwide may provide information on various topics to contract owners and prospective contract owners in advertising, sales literature or other materials.

Performance Comparisons
 
Each sub-account may, from time to time, include in advertisements the ranking of its performance figures compared with performance figures of other annuity contracts’ sub-accounts with the same investment objectives which are created by Lipper Analytical Services, Morningstar, Inc. or other recognized ranking services.
 
 
See "Frequency and Amount of Annuity Payments" located in the prospectus.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and
 
Contract Owners of Nationwide Variable Account-II:
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and contract owners’ equity of Nationwide Variable Account-II (comprised of the sub-accounts listed in note 1(b) (collectively, “the Accounts”)) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations and changes in contract owners’ equity, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Accounts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the transfer agents of the underlying mutual funds. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Accounts as of December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations, changes in contract owners’ equity, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

*At December 31, 2006, contract owners were not invested in the fund.
 
Effective May 2002, due to the Dreyfus Investment Portfolio – European Equity Portfolio no longer being available within the Account, assets of contract owners invested in this sub-account were liquidated and exchanged into the Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust – Money Market Fund – Class I.
 
The contract owners’ equity is affected by the investment results of each fund, equity transactions by contract owners and certain contract expenses (see note 2). The accompanying financial statements include only contract owners’ purchase payments pertaining to the variable portions of their contracts and exclude any purchase payments for fixed dollar benefits, the latter being included in the accounts of the Company.
 
A contract owner may choose from among a number of different underlying mutual fund options. The underlying mutual fund options are not available to the general public directly. The underlying mutual funds are available as investment options in variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies or, in some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.
 
A purchase payment could be presented as a negative equity transaction in the Statements of Changes in Contract Owners’ Equity if a prior period purchase payment is refunded to a contract owner due to a contract cancellation during the free look period, and/or if a gain is realized by the contract owner during the free look period.
 
Some of the underlying mutual funds have been established by investment advisers which manage publicly traded mutual funds having similar names and investment objectives. While some of the underlying mutual funds may be similar to, and may in fact be modeled after, publicly traded mutual funds, the underlying mutual funds are not otherwise directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. Consequently, the investment performance of publicly traded mutual funds and any corresponding underlying mutual funds may differ substantially.

NATIONWIDE VARIABLE ACCOUNT-II (NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued)
 
 
 
  (c) Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Investment Income
Investments in underlying mutual funds are valued based on the closing net asset value per share at December 31, 2006 of such funds, which value their investment securities at fair value. The cost of investments sold is determined on a First in – First out basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividends (which include capital gain distributions) are accrued as of the ex-dividend date and are reinvested in the underlying mutual funds.
 
 
 
  (d) Federal Income Taxes
Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, operations of the Company which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code.
 
The Company does not provide for income taxes within the Account. Taxes are the responsibility of the contract owner upon termination or withdrawal.
 
 
 
  (e) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
 
  (f) Calculation of Annuity Reserves
Annuity reserves are computed for contracts in the variable payout stage according to industry standard mortality tables. The assumed investment return is 3.5% unless the annuitant elects otherwise, in which case the rate may vary from 3.5% to 7%, as regulated by the laws of the respective states. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Account by the Company to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if reserves exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Company.
 
 
 
  (g) New Accounting Pronouncement
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 157. SFAS 157 also provides guidance regarding the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Accounts’ financial position or results of their operations upon adoption.

(2) Expenses
The Company does not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments received from the contract owners. However, if any part of the contract value of such contracts is surrendered, the Company will, with certain exceptions, deduct from a contract owners’ contract value a contingent deferred sales charge. For BOA IV contracts issued prior to December 15, 1988, the contingent deferred sales charge will be equal to 5% of the lesser of purchase payments or the amount surrendered. For America’s Vision, America’s Future II, All American Gold, Future Venue, Choice Venue II and for BOA IV contracts issued on or after December 15, 1988, the contingent deferred sales charge will not exceed 7% of purchase payments surrendered, such charge declining a specified percentage each year. After the purchase payment has been held in the contract for 7 years this charge is 0%. For Achiever contracts, this charge will not exceed 8% of purchase payments surrendered, such charge declining a specified percentage each year. After the purchase payment has been held in the contract for 8 years this charge is 0%. For Elite Venue contracts, the contingent deferred sales charge will not exceed 7% of purchase payments surrendered, such charge declining a specified percentage each year. After the purchase payment has been held in the contract for 4 years this charge is 0%. No contingent deferred sales charge is deducted on NEBA, Exclusive Venue or Schwab contracts. No sales charges are deducted on redemptions used to purchase units in the fixed investment options of the company.
 
The Company may deduct an annual contract maintenance charge of up to $30, dependent upon contract type and issue date, which is satisfied by surrendering units.
 
The Company deducts a mortality and expense risk charge assessed through the daily unit value calculation. The Option table on the following page illustrates the annual rate for all contract level charges by product, as well as the maximum variable account charge per product. The table also summarizes the contract level options available to contract holders. The options and related charges are described in more detail in the applicable product prospectus.

(4) Financial Highlights
The Company offers several variable annuity products through the Account that have unique combinations of features and fees that are assessed to the contract owner. Differences in fee structures result in a variety of contract expense rates, unit fair values and total returns.The following tabular presentation is a summary of units, unit fair values and contract owners’ equity outstanding for variable annuity contracts as of the end of the periods indicated, and contract expense rate, investment income ratio and total return for each period in the five-year period ended December 31, 2006. Beginning in 2003 the information is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values based upon product grouping. The range is determined by identifying the lowest and the highest contract expense rate. The unit fair values and total returns related to these identified contract expense rates are also disclosed as a range below. Accordingly, some individual contract amounts may not be within the ranges presented. For periods prior to 2003 the information is presented as a range of minimum and maximum values, however, such information is exclusive and independent for each column, and there is no intentional relationship among and between the ranges of values presented for contract expense rate, unit fair value and total return.

          *
This represents the range of annual contract expense rates of the variable account for the period indicated and includes only those expenses that are charged through a reduction in the unit values. Excluded are expenses of the underlying mutual funds and charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units.
 
 
 
         **
This represents the dividends for the period indicated, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by average net assets. The ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions to the contractholder accounts either through reductions in unit values or redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the sub-account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.
 
 
 
        ***
This represents the range of minimum and maximum total returns for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying mutual fund, which reflects the reduction of unit value for expenses assessed. It does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, the inclusion of which would result in a reduction of the total return presented.
 
 
 
(a) & (b)
Denote the minimum and maximum of the total return ranges, respectively, for underlying mutual fund options that were added during the reporting period. These returns were not annualized. Minimum and maximum ranges are not shown for underlying mutual fund options for which a single contract expense rate (product option) is representative of all units issued and outstanding at period end. Such options that were added during the reporting period are designated using both symbols.

These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 03-1, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts, in 2004.

Nature of Operations
 
Nationwide Life Insurance Company (NLIC, or collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company) was incorporated in 1929 and is an Ohio stock legal reserve life insurance company. The Company is a member of the Nationwide group of companies (Nationwide), which is comprised of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (NMIC) and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates.
 
All of the outstanding shares of NLIC’s common stock are owned by Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (NFS), a holding company formed by Nationwide Corporation (Nationwide Corp.), a majority-owned subsidiary of NMIC.
 
Wholly-owned subsidiaries of NLIC as of December 31, 2006 include Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (NLAIC) and Nationwide Investment Services Corporation (NISC). NLAIC offers universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance, corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) and individual annuity contracts on a non-participating basis. NISC is a registered broker/dealer.
 
The Company is a leading provider of long-term savings and retirement products in the United States of America (U.S.). The Company develops and sells a diverse range of products including individual annuities, private and public sector group retirement plans, other investment products sold to institutions, life insurance and advisory services. The Company sells its products through a diverse distribution network. Unaffiliated entities that sell the Company’s products to their own customer bases include independent broker/dealers, financial institutions, wirehouse and regional firms, pension plan administrators, and life insurance specialists. Representatives of affiliates who market products directly to a customer base include Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. (NRS), Nationwide Financial Network (NFN) producers and TBG Insurance Services Corporation d/b/a TBG Financial (TBG Financial) through its joint venture with MC Insurance Agency Services, LLC d/b/a Mullin Consulting. The Company also distributes products through the NMIC agency distribution force.
 
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not have a significant concentration of financial instruments in a single investee, industry or geographic region of the U.S. Also, the Company did not have a concentration of business transactions with a particular customer, lender, distribution source, market or geographic region of the U.S. in which business is conducted that makes it overly vulnerable to a single event which could cause a severe impact to the Company’s financial position.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company that materially affect financial reporting are summarized below. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
 
The Company’s most significant estimates include those used to determine the following: the balance, recoverability and amortization of deferred policy acquisition (DAC) for investment and universal life insurance products; impairment losses on investments; valuation allowances for mortgage loans on real estate; the liability for future policy benefits and claims; and federal income tax provision. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, the recorded amounts reflect management’s best estimates based on facts and circumstances as of the balance sheet date. Management believes the amounts provided are appropriate.
 
(a) Consolidation Policy
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NLIC and companies in which NLIC directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest. Minority interest expense is included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income, and minority interest is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

(b) Valuation of Investments, Investment Income and Related Gains and Losses
 
The Company is required to classify its fixed maturity securities and marketable equity securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. All fixed maturity and marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of adjustments to DAC, future policy benefits and claims, and deferred federal income taxes reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in shareholder’s equity. The adjustment to DAC represents the changes in amortization of DAC that would have been required as a charge or credit to operations had such unrealized amounts been realized and allocated to the product lines. The adjustment to future policy benefits and claims represents the increase in policy reserves from using a discount rate that would have been required had such unrealized amounts been realized and the proceeds reinvested at then current market interest rates, which were lower than the then current effective portfolio rate.
 
The fair value of fixed maturity and marketable equity securities is generally obtained from independent pricing services based on market quotations. For fixed maturity securities not priced by independent services (generally private placement securities and securities that do not trade regularly), an internally developed pricing model or “corporate pricing matrix” is most often used. The corporate pricing matrix is developed by obtaining spreads versus the U.S. Treasury yield for corporate securities with varying weighted average lives and bond ratings. The weighted average life and bond rating of a particular fixed maturity security to be priced using the corporate matrix are important inputs into the model and are used to determine a corresponding spread that is added to the U.S. Treasury yield to create an estimated market yield for that bond. The estimated market yield and other relevant factors are then used to estimate the fair value of the particular fixed maturity security. Additionally, for valuing certain fixed maturity securities with complex cash flows such as certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, a “structured product model” is used. The structured product model uses third party pricing tools. For securities for which quoted market prices are not available and for which the Company’s structured product model is not suitable for estimating fair values, fair values are determined using other modeling techniques, primarily a commercial software application utilized in valuing complex securitized investments with variable cash flows. As of December 31, 2006, 71% of the fair values of fixed maturity securities were obtained from independent pricing services, 20% from the Company’s pricing matrices and 9% from other sources compared to 72%, 20% and 8%, respectively, in 2005.
 
Management regularly reviews each investment in its fixed maturity and equity securities portfolios to evaluate the necessity of recording impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of investments.
 
Under the Company’s accounting policy for equity securities and debt securities that can be contractually prepaid or otherwise settled in a way that may limit the Company’s ability to fully recover cost, an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary unless the Company has both the ability and intent to hold the investment until the security’s forecasted recovery and evidence exists indicating that recovery will occur in a reasonable period of time. Also, for such debt securities management estimates cash flows over the life of purchased beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. If management estimates that the fair value of its beneficial interest is not greater than or equal to its carrying value based on current information and events, and if there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows since the last revised estimate (considering both timing and amount), then the Company recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment and writes down the purchased beneficial interest to fair value.
 
For other debt securities, an other-than-temporary impairment charge is taken when the Company does not have the ability and intent to hold the security until the forecasted recovery or if it is no longer probable that the Company will recover all amounts due under the contractual terms of the security. Many criteria are considered during this process including, but not limited to, the current fair value as compared to cost or amortized cost, as appropriate, of the security; the amount and length of time a security’s fair value has been below cost or amortized cost; specific credit issues and financial prospects related to the issuer; management’s intent to hold or dispose of the security; and current economic conditions.
 
Other-than-temporary impairment losses result in a permanent reduction to the cost basis of the underlying investment.

For mortgage-backed securities, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield method based on prepayment assumptions and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimated prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. Any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income. All other investment income is recorded using the interest-method without anticipating the impact of prepayments.
 
The Company provides valuation allowances for impairments of mortgage loans on real estate based on a review by portfolio managers. Mortgage loans on real estate are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When management determines that a loan is impaired, a provision for loss is established equal to the difference between the carrying value and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. In addition to the valuation allowance on specific loans, the Company maintains an unallocated allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date, but not yet specifically identified by loan. Changes in the valuation allowance are recorded in net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items. Loans in foreclosure are placed on non-accrual status. Interest received on non-accrual status mortgage loans on real estate is included in net investment income in the period received.
 
The valuation allowance account for mortgage loans on real estate is maintained at a level believed adequate by management and reflects management’s best estimate of probable credit losses, including losses incurred at the balance sheet date but not yet identified by specific loan. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for losses is based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors.
 
The Company grants mainly commercial mortgage loans on real estate to customers throughout the U.S. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a diversified portfolio with no more than 25.5% of the mortgage loan portfolio in any geographic region of the U.S. and no more than 2.6% with any one borrower, compared to 23.8% and 1.6%, respectively, as of December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, 33.4% and 32.0% of the carrying value of the Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio financed retail properties, respectively.
 
Real estate to be held and used is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Real estate designated as held for disposal is not depreciated and is carried at the lower of the carrying value at the time of such designation or fair value less cost to sell. Other long-term investments are carried on the equity method of accounting.
 
Impairment losses are recorded on investments in long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.
 
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on the basis of specific security identification. Changes in the Company’s mortgage loan valuation allowance and recognition of impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines in the fair values of applicable investments are included in realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items.

(c) Derivative Instruments
 
Derivatives are carried at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge); a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge); a foreign currency fair value or cash flow hedge (foreign currency hedge); or a non-hedge transaction. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for entering into various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value, cash flow or foreign currency hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used for hedging transactions are expected to be and, for ongoing hedging relationships, have been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not, or is not expected to be, highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.
 
The Company enters into interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps or Euro futures to hedge the fair value of existing fixed rate assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company uses short U.S. Treasury future positions to hedge the fair value of bond and mortgage loan commitments. Typically, the Company is hedging the risk of changes in fair value attributable to changes in benchmark interest rates. Derivative instruments classified as fair value hedges are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items. Changes in the fair value of the hedged item that are attributable to the risk being hedged are also recorded in realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items.
 
The Company may enter into “receive fixed/pay variable” interest rate swaps to hedge existing variable rate assets or to hedge cash flows from the anticipated purchase of investments. These derivative instruments are identified as cash flow hedges and are carried at fair value with the offset recorded in AOCI to the extent the hedging relationship is effective. The ineffective portion of the hedging relationship is recorded in realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items. Gains and losses on derivative instruments that are initially recorded in AOCI are reclassified out of AOCI and recognized in earnings over the same period(s) that the hedged item affects earnings.
 
Accrued interest receivable or payable under interest rate and foreign currency swaps are recognized as an adjustment to net investment income or interest credited to policyholder account values consistent with the nature of the hedged item, except for interest rate swaps hedging the anticipated sale of investments where amounts receivable or payable under the swaps are recorded as realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items, and except for interest rate swaps hedging the anticipated purchase of investments where amounts receivable or payable under the swaps are initially recorded in AOCI to the extent the hedging relationship is effective.
 
The Company periodically may enter into a derivative transaction that will not qualify for hedge accounting. The Company does not enter into speculative positions. Although these transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting, or have not been designated in hedging relationships by the Company, they are part of its overall risk management strategy. For example, the Company may sell credit default protection through a credit default swap. Although the credit default swap may not be effective in hedging specific investments, the income stream allows the Company to manage overall investment yields while exposing the Company to acceptable credit risk. The Company may enter into a cross-currency basis swap (pay a variable U.S. rate and receive a variable foreign-denominated rate) to eliminate the foreign currency exposure of a variable rate foreign-denominated liability. Although basis swaps may qualify for hedge accounting, the Company has chosen not to designate these derivatives as hedging instruments due to the difficulty in assessing and monitoring effectiveness for both sides of the basis swap. Derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as hedging instruments are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items.

(d) Revenues and Benefits
 
Investment and Universal Life Insurance Products: Investment products consist primarily of individual and group variable and fixed deferred annuities. Universal life insurance products include universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance, COLI, bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies. Revenues for investment products and universal life insurance products consist of net investment income, asset fees, cost of insurance charges, administrative fees and surrender charges that have been earned and assessed against policy account balances during the period. The timing of revenue recognition as it relates to fees assessed on investment contracts and universal life contracts is determined based on the nature of such fees. Asset fees, cost of insurance charges and administrative fees are assessed on a daily or monthly basis and recognized as revenue when assessed and earned. Certain amounts assessed that represent compensation for services to be provided in future periods are reported as unearned revenue and recognized in income over the periods benefited. Surrender charges are recognized upon surrender of a contract in accordance with contractual terms. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include interest credited to policy account values and benefits and claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account values.
 
Traditional Life Insurance Products: Traditional life insurance products include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and primarily consist of whole life insurance, limited-payment life insurance, term life insurance and certain annuities with life contingencies. Premiums for traditional life insurance products are recognized as revenue when due. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums so that profits are recognized over the life of the contract. This association is accomplished through the provision for future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization of policy acquisition costs.
 
(e) Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs for Investment and Universal Life Insurance Products
 
The Company has deferred certain costs of acquiring investment and universal life insurance products business, principally commissions, certain expenses of the policy issue and underwriting department, and certain variable sales expenses that relate to and vary with the production of new and renewal business. Investment products primarily consist of individual and group variable and fixed deferred annuities. Universal life insurance products include universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance, COLI and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies. DAC is subject to recoverability testing in the year of policy issuance and loss recognition testing at the end of each reporting period.
 
For investment and universal life insurance products, DAC is being amortized with interest over the lives of the policies in relation to the present value of estimated gross profits from projected interest margins, asset fees, cost of insurance charges, administration fees, surrender charges, and net realized gains and losses less policy benefits and policy maintenance expenses. The DAC asset related to investment products and universal life insurance products is adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale, as described in Note 2(b).
 
The most significant assumptions that are involved in the estimation of future gross profits include future net separate account performance, surrender/lapse rates, interest margins and mortality. The Company’s long-term assumption for net separate account performance is currently 8% growth per year. If actual net separate account performance varies from the 8% assumption, the Company assumes different performance levels over the next three years such that the mean return equals the long-term assumption. This process is referred to as a reversion to the mean. The assumed net separate account return assumptions used in the DAC models are intended to reflect what is anticipated. However, based on historical returns of the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, and as part of its pre-set parameters, the Company’s reversion to the mean process generally limits returns to 0-15% during the three-year reversion period.

Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on the amount of DAC reported for investment products and universal life insurance products and their related amortization patterns. In the event actual experience differs from assumptions or future assumptions are revised, the Company is required to record an increase or decrease in DAC amortization expense, which could be significant. In general, increases in the estimated general and separate account returns result in increased expected future profitability and may lower the rate of DAC amortization, while increases in lapse/surrender and mortality assumptions reduce the expected future profitability of the underlying business and may increase the rate of DAC amortization.
 
Management evaluates the appropriateness of the individual variable annuity DAC balance within pre-set parameters. These parameters are designed to appropriately reflect the Company’s long-term expectations with respect to individual variable annuity contracts while also evaluating the potential impact of short-term experience on the Company’s recorded individual variable annuity DAC balance. If the recorded balance of individual variable annuity DAC falls outside of these parameters for a prescribed period of time, or if the recorded balance falls outside of these parameters and management determines it is not reasonably possible to get back within the parameters during this period of time, assumptions are required to be unlocked and DAC is recalculated using revised best estimate assumptions. If DAC assumptions were unlocked and revised, the Company would continue to use the reversion to the mean process.
 
For other investment and universal life insurance products, DAC is adjusted each quarter to reflect revised best estimate assumptions, including the use of a reversion to the mean methodology over the next three years as it relates to net separate account performance. Any resulting DAC true-up and unlocking adjustments are reflected currently in the consolidated statements of income.
 
(f) Separate Accounts
 
Separate account assets and liabilities represent contractholders’ funds, which have been segregated into accounts with specific investment objectives. Separate account assets are recorded at fair value based primarily on market quotations of the underlying securities. The investment income and gains or losses of these accounts accrue directly to the contractholders. The activity of the separate accounts is not reflected in the consolidated statements of income except for (1) the fees the Company receives, which are assessed on a daily or monthly basis and recognized as revenue when assessed and earned, and (2) the activity related to guaranteed contracts, which are riders to existing variable annuity contracts.
 
(g) Future Policy Benefits and Claims
 
The process of calculating reserve amounts for a life insurance organization involves the use of a number of assumptions, including those related to persistency (how long a contract stays with a company), mortality (the relative incidence of death in a given time), morbidity (the relative incidence of disability resulting from disease or physical impairment) and interest rates (the rates expected to be paid or received on financial instruments, including insurance or investment contracts).
 
The Company calculates its liability for future policy benefits and claims for investment products in the accumulation phase and universal life and variable universal life insurance policies as the policy account balance, which represents participants’ net premiums and deposits plus investment performance and interest credited less applicable contract charges.
 
The Company’s liability for funding agreements to an unrelated third party trust equals the balance that accrues to the benefit of the contractholder, including interest credited. The funding agreements constitute insurance obligations and are considered annuity contracts under Ohio insurance laws.
 
The liability for future policy benefits and claims for traditional life insurance policies was calculated by the net level premium method using interest rates varying from 2.0% to 10.5% and estimates of mortality, morbidity, investment yields and withdrawals that were used or being experienced at the time the policies were issued.
 
The liability for future policy benefits for payout annuities was calculated using the present value of future benefits and maintenance costs discounted using interest rates varying generally from 3.0% to 13.0%.

(h) Participating Business
 
Participating business, which refers to policies that participate in profits through policyholder dividends, represented approximately 8% in 2006 (10% in 2005 and 11% in 2004) of the Company’s life insurance in force, 50% of the number of life insurance policies in force in 2006 (52% in 2005 and 55% in 2004) and 5% of life insurance statutory premiums in 2006 (5% in 2005 and 7% in 2004). The provision for policyholder dividends was based on then current dividend scales and has been included in future policy benefits and claims in the consolidated balance sheets.
 
(i) Federal Income Taxes
 
The Company provides for federal income taxes based on amounts the Company believes it ultimately will owe. Inherent in the provision for federal income taxes are estimates regarding the deductibility of certain items and the realization of certain tax credits. In the event the ultimate deductibility of certain items or the realization of certain tax credits differs from estimates, the Company may be required to significantly change the provision for federal income taxes recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Any such change could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated statements of income. Management has used best estimates to establish reserves based on current facts and circumstances regarding tax exposure items where the ultimate deductibility is open to interpretation. Management evaluates the appropriateness of such reserves quarterly based on any new developments specific to their fact patterns. Information considered includes results of completed tax examinations, Technical Advice Memorandums and other rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the tax courts.
 
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under this method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be fully realized.
 
(j) Reinsurance Ceded
 
Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from the respective income and expense accounts. Assets and liabilities related to reinsurance ceded are reported in the consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis, separately from the related balances of the Company.
 
(k) Reclassification
 
Certain items in the 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an amendment of FASB Statements No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. In addition, SFAS 159 does not establish requirements for recognizing and measuring dividend income, interest income or interest expense, nor does it eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), and SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company currently is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability on its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end balance sheet, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end balance sheet is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. If in the last quarter of the preceding fiscal year an employer enters into a transaction that results in a settlement or experiences an event that causes a curtailment of the plan, the related gain or loss pursuant to Statement 88 or 106 is required to be recognized in earnings that quarter. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157. SFAS 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also provides guidance regarding the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current-year financial statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both the balance sheet and income-statement approaches and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB 108 does not change the SEC’s previous guidance in SAB No. 99 on evaluating the materiality of misstatements. A registrant applying the new guidance for the first time that identifies material errors in existence at the beginning of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, may correct those errors through a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning-of-year retained earnings. The cumulative effect alternative is available only if the application of the new guidance results in a conclusion that a material error exists as of the beginning of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, and those misstatements were determined to be immaterial based on a proper application of the registrant’s previous method for quantifying misstatements. Because of the beginning-of-year recognition of the cumulative effect adjustment, misstatements occurring in the year of adoption cannot be included in that adjustment. SAB 108 requires the following disclosures if a cumulative effect adjustment is recorded: the nature and amount of each individual error included in the cumulative effect adjustment; when and how each error arose; and the fact that the errors had previously been considered immaterial. The cumulative effect adjustment is available only for prior-year uncorrected misstatements. The adjustment should not include amounts related to changes in accounting estimates. SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company plans to adopt FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
 
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (SFAS 156).SFAS 156 amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140). SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. An entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities is required to account for those derivative instruments at fair value. Under SFAS 156, an entity can elect subsequent fair value measurement to account for its separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. By electing that option, an entity may simplify its accounting because SFAS 156 permits income statement recognition of the potential offsetting changes in fair value of those servicing assets and servicing liabilities and derivative instruments in the same accounting period. SFAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 156 effective January 1, 2007. SFAS 156 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), and SFAS 140. SFAS 155 also resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. In summary, SFAS 155: (1) permits an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings; (2) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; (3) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (4) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (5) amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period for that fiscal year. Provisions of SFAS 155 may be applied to instruments that an entity holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company elected to early adopt SFAS 155 as of January 1, 2006. On the date of adoption, there was no impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In September 2005, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) 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, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments, issued by the FASB. SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs as a result of the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement or rider to a contract, or by the election of a new feature or coverage within a contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption encouraged. Retrospective application of SOP 05-1 to previously issued financial statements is not permitted. Initial application of SOP 05-1 is required as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year. The Company will adopt SOP 05-1 effective January 1, 2007. Although the Company is currently unable to quantify the impact of adoption, SOP 05-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154), which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company adopted SFAS 154 effective January 1, 2006. SFAS 154 has not had any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations since adoption.
 
In July 2003, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 03-1, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts (SOP 03-1) to address many topics. The most significant topic affecting the Company was the accounting for contracts with guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB). SOP 03-1 requires companies to evaluate the significance of a GMDB to determine whether a contract should be accounted for as an investment or insurance contract. For contracts determined to be insurance contracts, companies are required to establish a reserve to recognize a portion of the assessment (revenue) that compensates the insurance company for benefits to be provided in future periods. The Company adopted SOP 03-1 effective January 1, 2004, which resulted in a $3.3 million charge, net of taxes, as the cumulative effect of adoption of this accounting principle.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The following disclosures summarize the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Certain assets and liabilities are specifically excluded from the disclosure requirements for financial instruments.
 
The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the financial instrument could be bought or sold, or in the case of liabilities incurred or settled, in a current transaction between willing parties. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on the best information available in the circumstances. Such estimates of fair value should consider prices for similar assets or similar liabilities and the results of valuation techniques to the extent available in the circumstances. Examples of valuation techniques include the present value of estimated expected future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved, option-pricing models, matrix pricing, option-adjusted spread models and fundamental analysis. Valuation techniques for measuring assets and liabilities must be consistent with the objective of measuring fair value and should incorporate assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of values, future revenues and future expenses, including assumptions about interest rates, default, prepayment and volatility.
 
Many of the Company’s assets and liabilities subject to these disclosure requirements are not actively traded, requiring fair values to be estimated by management using matrix pricing, present value or other suitable valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Although fair value estimates are calculated using assumptions that management believes are appropriate, changes in assumptions could cause these estimates to vary materially. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in the immediate settlement of the instruments.
 
Although insurance contracts are specifically exempted from the disclosure requirements (other than those that are classified as investment contracts), the Company’s estimate of the fair values of policy reserves on life insurance contracts is provided to make the fair value disclosures more meaningful.
 
The tax ramifications of the related unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on the estimates of fair value and have not been considered in arriving at such estimates.
 
In estimating its fair value disclosures, the Company used the following methods and assumptions:
 
Fixed maturity and equity securities available-for-sale: See Note 2(b).

Mortgage loans on real estate, net: The fair values of mortgage loans on real estate are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. Estimated fair value is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.
 
Policy loans, short-term investments and cash: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair values.
 
Separate account assets and liabilities: The fair values of assets held in separate accounts are based on quoted market prices of the underlying securities. The fair values of liabilities related to separate accounts are the amounts payable on demand, net of certain surrender charges.
 
Investment contracts: The fair values of the Company’s liabilities under investment type contracts are based on one of two methods. For investment contracts without defined maturities, fair value is the amount payable on demand, net of certain surrender charges. For investment contracts with known or determined maturities, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. Interest rates used in this analysis are similar to currently offered contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.

Interest Rate Risk Management
 
The Company periodically purchases fixed rate investments to back variable rate liabilities. As a result, the Company can be exposed to interest rate risk due to the mismatch between variable rate liabilities and fixed rate assets. In an effort to mitigate this risk, the Company enters into various types of derivative instruments to minimize this mismatch, with fluctuations in the fair values of the derivatives offsetting changes in the fair values of the investments resulting from changes in interest rates. The Company principally uses pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps to manage this risk.
 
Under these interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed rate payments. The fixed interest paid on the swap offsets the fixed interest received on the investment, resulting in the Company receiving the variable interest payments on the swap, generally 3-month U.S. London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and the credit spread on the investment. The net receipt of a variable rate will then match the variable rate paid on the liability.

As a result of entering into commercial mortgage loan and private placement commitments, the Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of such commitments due to changes in interest rates during the commitment period prior to the loans being funded. In an effort to manage this risk, the Company enters into short U.S. Treasury futures during the commitment period. With short U.S. Treasury futures, if interest rates rise/fall, the gains/losses on the futures will offset the change in fair value of the commitment attributable to the change in interest rates.
 
The Company periodically purchases variable rate investments (i.e., commercial mortgage loans and corporate bonds). As a result, the Company can be exposed to variability in cash flows and investment income due to changes in interest rates. Such variability poses risks to the Company when the assets are funded with fixed rate liabilities. In an effort to manage this risk, the Company may enter into receive fixed/pay variable interest rate swaps.
 
In using these interest rate swaps, the Company receives fixed interest rate payments and makes variable rate payments. The variable interest paid on the swap offsets the variable interest received on the investment, resulting in the Company receiving the fixed interest payments on the swap and the credit spread on the investment. The net receipt of a fixed rate will then match the fixed rate paid on the liability.
 
The Company manages interest rate risk at the segment level. Different segments may simultaneously hedge interest rate risks associated with owning fixed and variable rate investments considering the risk relevant to a particular segment.
 
Foreign Currency Risk Management
 
In conjunction with the Company’s medium-term note (MTN) program, the Company periodically issues both fixed and variable rate liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is exposed to changes in fair value of the liabilities due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and related interest rates. In an effort to manage these risks, the Company enters into cross-currency interest rate swaps to convert these liabilities to a U.S. dollar rate.
 
The Company is exposed to changes in fair value of fixed rate investments denominated in a foreign currency due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and related interest rates. In an effort to manage this risk, the Company uses cross-currency interest rate hedges to swap these asset characteristics to variable U.S. dollar rate instruments. Cross-currency interest rate swaps on assets are structured to pay a fixed rate, in the foreign currency, and receive a variable U.S. dollar rate, generally 3-month U.S. LIBOR. These derivative instruments are designated as a fair value hedge of the fixed rate foreign denominated asset.
 
For a variable rate foreign liability, the cross-currency interest rate swap is structured to receive a variable rate, in the foreign currency, and pay a variable U.S. dollar rate, generally 3-month U.S. LIBOR. As both sides of the cross-currency interest rate swap are variable, the derivative instrument is a basis swap. While the receive-side terms of the cross-currency interest rate swap will line up with the terms of the liability, the Company is not able to match the pay-side terms of the derivative to a specific asset. Therefore, these derivative instruments do not receive hedge accounting treatment.
 
Cross-currency interest rate swaps on variable rate investments are structured to pay a variable rate, in the foreign currency, and receive a fixed U.S. dollar rate. The terms of the foreign currency paid on the swap will exactly match the terms of the foreign currency received on the asset, thus eliminating currency risk. These derivative instruments are designated as a cash flow hedge.
 
Equity Market Risk Management
 
Asset fees calculated as a percentage of the separate account assets are a significant source of revenue to the Company. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 82% of separate account assets were invested in equity mutual funds (approximately 83% as of December 31, 2005). Gains and losses in the equity markets result in corresponding increases and decreases in the Company’s separate account assets and asset fee revenue. In addition, a decrease in separate account assets may decrease the Company’s expectations of future profit margins due to a decrease in asset fee revenue and/or an increase in guaranteed contract claims, which also may require the Company to accelerate the amortization of DAC.

The Company’s long-term assumption for net separate account returns is 8% annual growth. If equity markets were unchanged throughout a given year, the Company estimates that its net earnings per diluted share, calculated using current weighted average diluted shares outstanding, would be approximately $0.05 to $0.10 less than had the Company’s long-term assumption for net separate account returns been realized. This analysis assumes no other factors change and that an unlocking of DAC assumptions would not be required. However, as it does each quarter, the Company would evaluate its DAC balance and underlying assumptions to determine whether unlocking is appropriate. The Company can provide no assurance that the experience of flat equity market returns would not result in changes to other factors affecting profitability, including the possibility of unlocking of DAC assumptions.
 
Many of the Company’s individual variable annuity contracts offer GMDB features. A GMDB generally provides a benefit if the annuitant dies and the contract value is less than a specified amount, which may be based on the premiums paid less amounts withdrawn or contract value on a specified anniversary date. A decline in the stock market causing the contract value to fall below this specified amount, which varies from contract to contract based on the date the contract was entered into as well as the GMDB feature elected, will increase the net amount at risk, which is the GMDB in excess of the contract value. This could result in additional GMDB claims.
 
In an effort to mitigate this risk, the Company has implemented a GMDB economic hedging program for certain new and existing business. Prior to implementation of the GMDB hedging program in 2000, the Company managed this risk primarily by entering into reinsurance arrangements. The GMDB economic hedging program is designed to offset changes in the economic value of the GMDB obligation up to a return of the contractholder’s premium payments. However, the first 10% of GMDB claims are not hedged. Currently the program shorts S&P 500 Index futures, which provides an offset to changes in the value of the designated obligation. The futures are not designated as hedges and, therefore, hedge accounting is not applied. The Company’s economic evaluation of the GMDB obligation is not consistent with current accounting treatment of the GMDB obligation. Therefore, the hedging activity is likely to lead to earnings volatility. This volatility was negligible in 2006. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the net amount at risk was $562.4 million and $1.08 billion before reinsurance, respectively, and $119.0 million and $178.4 million net of reinsurance, respectively. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s reserve for GMDB claims was $29.3 million and $26.9 million, respectively. See Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the F pages of this report for discussion of the impact of adopting a new accounting principle regarding GMDB reserves in 2004.
 
The Company also offers certain variable annuity products with a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit (GMAB) rider. A GMAB provides the contractholder with a guaranteed return of premium, adjusted proportionately for withdrawals, after a specified period of time (5, 7 or 10 years) selected by the contractholder at the time of issuance of the variable annuity contract. In some cases, the contractholder also has the option, after a specified period of time, to drop the rider and continue the variable annuity contract without the GMAB. The design of the GMAB rider limits the risk to the Company in a variety of ways including asset allocation requirements, which serve to reduce the Company’s potential exposure to underlying fund performance risks. Specifically, the GMAB terms limit asset allocation by (1) requiring partial allocation of assets to a guaranteed term option (a fixed rate investment option) and excluding certain funds that are highly volatile or difficult to hedge or (2) requiring all assets be allocated to one of the approved asset allocation funds or models defined by the Company. A GMAB represents an embedded derivative in the variable annuity contract that is required to be separated from, and valued apart from, the host variable annuity contract. The embedded derivative is carried at fair value and reported in other future policy benefits and claims. The Company initially records an offset to the fair value of the embedded derivative on the balance sheet, which is amortized through the income statement over the term of the GMAB period of the contract. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative are recognized in earnings. The fair value of the GMAB embedded derivative is calculated based on actuarial assumptions related to the projected benefit cash flows incorporating numerous assumptions including, but not limited to, expectations of contractholder persistency, market returns, correlations of market returns and market return volatility.

The Company began selling contracts with the GMAB feature on May 1, 2003. Beginning October 1, 2003, the Company launched an enhanced version of the rider that offered increased equity exposure to the contractholder in return for a higher charge. The Company simultaneously began economically hedging the GMAB exposure for those risks that exceed a level it considered acceptable. The GMAB economic hedge consists of shorting interest rate futures and S&P 500 Index futures contracts and does not qualify for hedge accounting under current guidance. Quarterly, the Company purchases S&P 500 Index put options and over-the-counter basket put options, which are constructed in order to minimize the tracking error of the hedge and the GMAB liability. See Note 2(c) to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the F pages of this report for discussion of economic hedges. The objective of the GMAB economic hedge strategy is to manage the exposures with risk beyond a level considered acceptable to the Company. The Company is exposed to equity market risk related to the GMAB feature should the growth in the underlying investments, including any GTO investment, fail to reach the guaranteed return level. The GMAB embedded derivative is likely to create volatility in earnings; however, the economic hedging program provides substantial mitigation of this exposure. This volatility was negligible in 2006 and 2005. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the balance of the GMAB embedded derivative was $116.3 million and $67.9 million, respectively. The increase in the balance of the GMAB embedded derivative was driven by the value of new business sold during 2006.
 
Beginning in March 2005, the Company began offering a hybrid GMAB/guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB) through its Capital Preservation Plus Lifetime Income (CPPLI) contract rider. This living benefit combines a GMAB feature in its first 5-10 years with a lifetime withdrawal benefit which begins upon the maturity of the GMAB and extends for the duration of the insured’s life. In the event that the insured’s contract value is exhausted through such withdrawals, the Company will continue to fund future withdrawals at a pre-defined level until the insured’s death. In some cases, the contract owner has the right to drop the GLWB portion of this rider or periodically reset the guaranteed withdrawal basis to a higher level. This benefit requires a minimum allocation to guaranteed term options or adherence to limitations required by an approved asset allocation strategy as previously described above.
 
In March 2006, the Company added Lifetime Income (L.INC), a stand-alone GLWB, to compliment CPPLI in its product offerings. This rider is very similar to the hybrid benefit discussed above. L.INC provides for enhanced retirement income security via guaranteed accumulation rates and withdrawal rates that increase with age without the liquidity loss associated with annuitization. The lifetime withdrawal feature also is being economically hedged. Currently, the Company is using S&P 500 Index and U.S. Treasury futures to hedge exposure to declining equity and interest rate markets, respectively. Similar to GMDBs, the Company’s economic valuation of the lifetime income obligation is not consistent with the accounting treatment of the obligation. Therefore, hedging activity is likely to create volatility in earnings; however, the economic hedging program provides substantial mitigation of this exposure. This volatility was negligible in 2006.
 
Other Non-Hedging Derivatives
 
The Company periodically enters into basis swaps (receive one variable rate, pay another variable rate) to better match the cash flows received from the specific variable-rate investments with the variable rate paid on a group of liabilities. While the pay-side terms of the basis swap will line up with the terms of the asset, the Company is not able to match the receive-side terms of the derivative to a specific liability. Therefore, basis swaps do not receive hedge accounting treatment.
 
The Company sells credit default protection on selected debt instruments and combines the credit default swap with selected assets the Company owns to replicate a higher yielding bond. These selected assets may have sufficient duration for the related liability, but do not earn a sufficient credit spread. The combined credit default swap and investments provide cash flows with the duration and credit spread targeted by the Company. The credit default swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
 
The Company also has purchased credit default protection on selected debt instruments exposed to short-term credit concerns, or because the combination of the corporate bond and purchased default protection provides sufficient spread and duration targeted by the Company. The purchased credit default protection does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Fair Value Hedges
 
During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, a net gain of $2.9 million, a net gain of $4.1 million and a net loss of $11.3 million, respectively, were recognized in net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items. This represents the ineffective portion of the fair value hedging relationships. There were no gains or losses attributable to the portion of the derivative instruments’ changes in fair value excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. There were also no gains or losses recognized in earnings as a result of hedged firm commitments no longer qualifying as fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges
 
For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges was a net loss of $1.5 million, a net gain of $3.1 million and a net gain of $1.0 million, respectively. There were no net gains or losses attributable to the portion of the derivative instruments’ changes in fair value excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
 
The Company anticipates reclassifying less than $0.8 million in net losses out of AOCI over the next 12-month period.
 
In general, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with forecasted transactions, other than those relating to variable interest on existing financial instruments, is twelve months or less.
 
During 2006, the Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges because the original forecasted transaction was no longer probable. Additionally, no amounts were reclassified from AOCI into earnings due to the probability that a forecasted transaction would not occur.
 
Other Derivative Instruments, Including Embedded Derivatives
 
Net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 included a net loss of $0.5 million, a net loss of $9.1 million and a net gain of $8.1 million, respectively, related to other derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, not designated in hedging relationships. In addition, the Individual Investments segment included a loss of $11.4 million and a gain of $5.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to other derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, not designated in hedging relationships. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, net losses of $10.6 million, $80.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively, were recorded in net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items reflecting the change in fair value of cross-currency interest rate swaps hedging variable rate MTNs denominated in foreign currencies. Additional net gains of $14.1 million, $78.3 million and $5.9 million were recorded in net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items to reflect the change in spot rates of these foreign currency denominated obligations during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Increases in unrealized losses more than one year are primarily due to changes in the interest rate environment. Those securities are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired because the decline in market value is attributed to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold those investments until recovery.
 
Proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale during 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $2.27 billion, $2.62 billion and $2.49 billion, respectively. During 2006, gross gains of $61.6 million ($71.9 million and $61.5 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively) and gross losses of $64.1 million ($22.6 million and $8.7 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively) were realized on those sales.
 
The Company had $5.1 million and $22.2 million of real estate investments as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, that were non-income producing during the preceding twelve months.
 
Real estate held for use is presented at cost less accumulated depreciation of $16.7 million as of December 31, 2006 ($21.5 million as of December 31, 2005). The carrying value of real estate held for sale totaled $42.1 million and $2.5 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
The recorded investment of mortgage loans on real estate considered to be impaired was $17.5 million as of December 31, 2006 ($29.7 million as of December 31, 2005), for which the related valuation allowance was $12.3 million ($7.1 million as of December 31, 2005). Impaired mortgage loans with no valuation allowance are a result of collateral dependent loans where the fair value of the collateral is estimated to be greater than the recorded investment of the loan. During 2006, the average recorded investment in impaired mortgage loans on real estate was $3.5 million ($7.4 million in 2005). Interest income on those loans, which is recognized on a cash basis, totaled $1.9 million in 2006 ($2.1 million in 2005).

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had not pledged any fixed maturity securities as collateral to various derivative counterparties compared to $8.5 million as of December 31, 2005.
 
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had received $802.3 million and $1.10 billion, respectively, of cash collateral on securities lending and $171.0 million and $203.3 million, respectively, of cash for derivative collateral. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had not received any non-cash collateral on securities. Both the cash and non-cash collateral amounts are included in short-term investments with a corresponding liability recorded in other liabilities. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had loaned securities with a fair value of $778.6 million and $1.07 billion, respectively. The Company also held $12.8 million and $53.2 million of securities as off-balance sheet collateral on derivative transactions as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Variable Annuity Contracts
 
The Company issues traditional variable annuity contracts through its separate accounts, for which investment income and gains and losses on investments accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contractholder. The Company also issues non-traditional variable annuity contracts in which the Company provides various forms of guarantees to benefit the related contractholders. The Company provides four primary guarantee types under non-traditional variable annuity contracts: (1) GMDB; (2) GMAB; (3) guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB); and (4) a hybrid guarantee with GMAB and GLWB.

The GMDB provides a specified minimum return upon death. Many of these death benefits are spousal, whereby a death benefit will be paid upon death of the first spouse. The survivor has the option to terminate the contract or continue it and have the death benefit paid into the contract and a second death benefit paid upon the survivor’s death. The Company has offered six primary GMDB types:
 
 
 
   
Return of premium– provides the greater of account value or total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals and assessments, which is referred to as “net premiums.” There are two variations of this benefit. In general, there is no lock in age for this benefit. However, for some contracts the GMDB reverts to the account value at a specified age, typically age 75.
 
 
 
   
Reset– provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or the most recent five-year anniversary (prior to lock-in age) account value adjusted for withdrawals. For most contracts, this GMDB locks in at age 86 or 90, and for others the GMDB reverts to the account value at age 75, 85, 86 or 90.
 
 
 
   
Ratchet– provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or the highest specified “anniversary” account value (prior to age 86) adjusted for withdrawals. Currently, there are three versions of ratchet, with the difference based on the definition of anniversary: monthaversary – evaluated monthly; annual – evaluated annually; and five-year – evaluated every fifth year.
 
 
 
   
Rollup– provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or premiums adjusted for withdrawals accumulated at generally 5% simple interest up to the earlier of age 86 or 200% of adjusted premiums. There are two variations of this benefit. For certain contracts, this GMDB locks in at age 86, and for others the GMDB reverts to the account value at age 75.
 
 
 
   
Combo– provides the greater of annual ratchet death benefit or rollup death benefit. This benefit locks in at either age 81 or 86.
 
 
 
   
Earnings enhancement– provides an enhancement to the death benefit that is a specified percentage of the adjusted earnings accumulated on the contract at the date of death. There are two versions of this benefit: (1) the benefit expires at age 86, and a credit of 4% of account value is deposited into the contract; and (2) the benefit does not have an end age, but has a cap on the payout and is paid upon the first death in a spousal situation. Both benefits have age limitations. This benefit is paid in addition to any other death benefits paid under the contract.
 
The GMAB, offered in the Company’s Capital Preservation Plus (CPP) contract rider, is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed return of premium, adjusted proportionately for withdrawals, after a specified period of time (5, 7 or 10 years) selected by the contractholder at the issuance of the variable annuity contract. In some cases, the contractholder also has the option, after a specified period of time, to drop the rider and continue the variable annuity contract without the GMAB. In general, the GMAB requires a minimum allocation to guaranteed term options or adherence to limitations required by an approved asset allocation strategy.
 
The GMIB is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed annuitization value. The GMIB types are:
 
 
 
   
Ratchet– provides an annuitization value equal to the greater of account value, net premiums or the highest one-year anniversary account value (prior to age 86) adjusted for withdrawals.
 
 
 
   
Rollup– provides an annuitization value equal to the greater of account value and premiums adjusted for withdrawals accumulated at 5% compound interest up to the earlier of age 86 or 200% of adjusted premiums.
 
 
 
   
Combo– provides an annuitization value equal to the greater of account value, ratchet GMIB benefit or rollup GMIB benefit.
 
See Note 5 for a complete description of the Company’s hybrid GMAB/GLWB offered through its CPPLI contract rider. All GMAB contracts with the hybrid GMAB/GLWB rider are included with GMAB contracts in the following tables.

Net amount at risk is calculated on a seriatum basis and equals the respective guaranteed benefit less the account value (or zero if the account value exceeds the guaranteed benefit). As it relates to GMIB, net amount at risk is calculated as if all policies were eligible to annuitize immediately, although all GMIB options have a waiting period of at least 7 years from issuance, with the earliest annuitizations beginning in 2006.

GMAB contracts with the hybrid GMAB/GLWB rider had account values of $2.95 billion and $939.1 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The weighted average period remaining until expected annuitization is not meaningful and has not been presented because there is currently no material GMIB exposure.

The Company’s GMDB claim reserves are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits on contracts that trigger a policy benefit and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. GMIB claim reserves are determined each period by estimating the expected value of annuitization 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 assessments. The Company regularly evaluates its GMDB and GMIB claim reserve estimates and adjusts the additional liability balances as appropriate, with a related charge or credit to other benefits and claims in the period of evaluation if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. The assumptions used in calculating GMIB claim reserves are consistent with those used for calculating GMDB claim reserves. In addition, the calculation of GMIB claim reserves assumes benefit utilization ranges from a low of 3% when the contractholder’s annuitization value is at least 10% in the money to 100% utilization when the contractholder is 90% or more in the money.
 
In accordance with SOP 03-01, GLWB claim reserves for the L.INC rider are determined each period by estimating the expected value of withdrawal benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing such potential additional liabilities of the Company as a benefit reserve expense ratably over the accumulation period. The Company periodically evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balance as appropriate, with a related charge or credit to life insurance and annuity benefits in the period of evaluation if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

The Company has available as a source of funds a $1.00 billion revolving variable rate credit facility entered into by NFS, NLIC and NMIC with a group of national financial institutions. The facility provides for several and not joint liability with respect to any amount drawn by any party. The facility provides covenants, including, but not limited to, requirements that the Company maintain consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, in excess of $2.60 billion and that NLIC maintain statutory surplus, as defined, in excess of $1.67 billion. As of December 31, 2006, the Company and NLIC were in compliance with all covenants. The Company had no amounts outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. NLIC also has an $800.0 million commercial paper program and is required to maintain an available credit facility equal to 50% of any amounts outstanding under the commercial paper program. Therefore, borrowing capacity under the aggregate $1.00 billion revolving credit facility is reduced by 50% of any amounts outstanding under the commercial paper program. NLIC had no commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2006 and $134.7 million outstanding at December 31, 2005 at a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.22%.

NLIC has entered into an agreement with its custodial bank to borrow against the cash collateral that is posted in connection with its securities lending program. This is an uncommitted facility contingent on the liquidity of the securities lending program. The borrowing facility was established to fund commercial mortgage loans that were originated with the intent of sale through securitization. The maximum amount available under the agreement is $350.0 million. The borrowing rate on this program is equal to one-month U.S. LIBOR. NLIC had $75.2 million and $75.0 million outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had not provided any guarantees on such borrowings, either directly or indirectly.
 
The Company paid interest on short-term debt totaling $11.7 million, $11.5 million and $3.6 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Federal Income Taxes
 
Through September 30, 2002, the Company filed a consolidated federal income tax return with NMIC, the ultimate majority shareholder of NFS. Effective October 1, 2002, Nationwide Corporation’s ownership in NFS decreased from 79.8% to 63.0%. Therefore, NFS and its subsidiaries, including the Company, no longer qualify to be included in the NMIC consolidated federal income tax return. The members of the NMIC consolidated federal income tax return group participated in a tax sharing arrangement, which provided, in effect, for each member to bear essentially the same federal income tax liability as if separate tax returns were filed.
 
Under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) regulations, NFS and its subsidiaries cannot file a life/non-life consolidated federal income tax return until five full years following NFS’ departure from the NMIC consolidated federal income tax return group. Therefore, NFS and its direct non-life insurance company subsidiaries will file a consolidated federal income tax return; NLIC and NLAIC will file a consolidated federal income tax return; and the direct non-life insurance companies under NLIC will file separate federal income tax returns, until 2008, when NFS will become eligible to file a single life/non-life consolidated federal income tax return with all of its subsidiaries.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the total gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. Future taxable amounts or recovery of federal income taxes paid within the statutory carryback period can offset nearly all future deductible amounts. The valuation allowance was unchanged during 2006, 2005 and 2004.
 
The Company’s current federal income tax (asset) liability was $(12.6) million and $53.8 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Through June 2006, the Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years 2000-2002 were under IRS examination pursuant to a routine audit. In accordance with its regular practice, management established tax reserves representing its best estimate of additional amounts the Company could be required to pay if certain positions it had taken were challenged and ultimately denied by the IRS with respect to these tax years. These reserves are reviewed regularly and are adjusted as events occur that management believes impacts the Company’s liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations; conclusion of tax audits or substantial agreement on the deductibility/non-deductibility of uncertain items; additional exposure based on current calculations; identification of new issues; release of administrative guidance; or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue. A significant component of the Company’s tax reserve as of December 31, 2005 was related to the separate account dividends received deduction (DRD).
 
In July 2006, the Company reached substantial agreement with the IRS on all open issues for tax years 2000-2002, including issues related to the DRD. Accordingly, the Company revised its estimate of amounts that may be due in connection with certain tax positions, including the DRD, for all open tax years. As a result of the revised estimate, $110.9 million of tax reserves were released into earnings during the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
 
During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded $7.8 million of net federal income tax expense adjustments primarily related to differences between the 2005 estimated tax liability and the amounts reported on the Company’s 2005 tax returns.
 
During the third quarter of 2005, the Company refined its separate account DRD estimation process. As a result, the Company identified and recorded additional federal income tax benefits and recoverables in the amount of $42.6 million related to all tax years (2000 – 2005) that were open at that time. In addition, the Company recorded $5.6 million of net benefit adjustments primarily related to differences between the 2004 estimated tax liability and the amounts reported on the Company’s 2004 tax returns.

The Jobs Creation Act of 2004 suspends policyholder surplus accounts (PSA) during 2005 and 2006 and provides that direct and indirect distributions from the PSA during any taxable year beginning after 2004 and before 2007 be treated as zero. Because NLIC had the ability and intent to distribute this PSA balance to its shareholder during the noted period, the potential tax liability was eliminated as of December 31, 2004. The Jobs Creation Act of 2004 had no other significant impact on the Company’s tax position.
 
Total federal income taxes (refunded) paid were $(4.3) million, $182.2 million and $142.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Shareholders’ Equity, Regulatory Risk-Based Capital and Dividend Restrictions
 
Regulatory Risk-Based Capital
 
The State of Ohio, where NLIC and NLAIC are domiciled, imposes minimum risk-based capital requirements that were developed by the NAIC. The formulas for determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to authorized control level risk-based capital, as defined by the NAIC. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. NLIC and NLAIC each exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements for all periods presented herein.
 
Dividend Restrictions
 
State insurance laws generally restrict the ability of insurance companies to pay cash dividends and make other payments in excess of certain prescribed limitations without prior approval. The Company is limited in the amount of shareholder dividends it may pay without prior approval by the ODI. The statutory capital and surplus of NLIC as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $2.68 billion and $2.60 billion, respectively. The statutory net income of NLIC for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $537.5 million, $462.5 million and $317.7 million, respectively. As of January 1, 2007, based on statutory financial results as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, NLIC could pay dividends totaling $162.5 million without obtaining prior approval. As of March 1, 2007, NLIC will be able to pay dividends to NFS totaling $232.5 million upon providing prior notice to the ODI. On February 21, 2007, NLIC declared an ordinary dividend of $232.5 million and an extraordinary dividend of $242.5 million, both payable to NFS in March 2007. NLIC will provide notice to the ODI of the ordinary dividend and seek prior approval from the ODI of the extraordinary dividend before paying these dividends to NFS.
 
In addition, the payment of dividends by NLIC may also be subject to restrictions set forth in the insurance laws of the State of New York that limit the amount of statutory profits on NLIC’s participating policies (measured before dividends to policyholders) that can inure to the benefit of the Company and its shareholder.
 
The Company currently does not expect such regulatory requirements to impair its ability to pay future operating expenses, interest and shareholder dividends.

Employee Benefit Plans
 
Defined Benefit Plans
 
The Company and certain affiliated companies participate in a qualified defined benefit pension plan sponsored by NMIC. This plan covers all employees of participating companies who have completed at least one year of service. Plan contributions are invested in a group annuity contract issued by NLIC. All participants are eligible for benefits based on an account balance feature. Participants last hired before 2002 are eligible for benefits based on the highest average annual salary of a specified number of consecutive years of the last ten years of service, if such benefits are of greater value than the account balance feature. The Company funds pension costs accrued for direct employees plus an allocation of pension costs accrued for employees of affiliates whose work benefits the Company. A separate non-qualified defined benefit pension plan sponsored by NMIC covers certain executives with at least one year of service. The Company’s portion of expense relating to these plans was $19.9 million, $16.6 million and $13.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
In addition to the NMIC pension plan, the Company and certain affiliated companies participate in life and health care defined benefit plans sponsored by NMIC for qualifying retirees. Postretirement life and health care benefits are contributory. The level of contribution required by a qualified retiree depends on the retiree’s years of service and date of hire. In general, postretirement benefits are available to full-time employees who are credited with 120 months of retiree life and health service. Postretirement health care benefit contributions are adjusted annually and contain cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. In addition, there are caps on the Company’s portion of the per-participant cost of the postretirement health care benefits. The Company’s policy is to fund the cost of health care benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of management. Plan assets are invested primarily in group annuity contracts issued by NLIC. The Company’s portion of expense relating to these plans was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
 
Defined Contribution Plans
 
NMIC sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan covering substantially all employees of the Company. Employees may make salary deferral contributions of up to 80%. Salary deferrals of up to 6% are subject to a 50% Company match. The Company’s expense for contributions to these plans was $6.6 million, $6.2 million and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Related Party Transactions
 
The Company has entered into significant, recurring transactions and agreements with NMIC, other affiliates and subsidiaries as a part of its ongoing operations. These include annuity and life insurance contracts, office space leases, and agreements related to reinsurance, cost sharing, administrative services, marketing, intercompany loans, intercompany repurchases, cash management services and software licensing. Measures used to allocate expenses among companies include individual employee estimates of time spent, special cost studies, the number of full-time employees, commission expense and other methods agreed to by the participating companies and that are within industry guidelines and practices.
 
In addition, Nationwide Services Company, LLC (NSC), a subsidiary of NMIC, provides computer, telephone, mail, employee benefits administration and other services to NMIC and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including the Company, based on specified rates for units of service consumed. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company made payments to NMIC and NSC totaling $261.7 million, $274.1 million and $194.6 million, respectively.

December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004
 
 
 
The Company has issued group annuity and life insurance contracts and performs administrative services for various employee benefit plans sponsored by NMIC or its affiliates. Total account values of these contracts were $5.48 billion and $6.39 billion as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Total revenues from these contracts were $133.4 million, $136.2 million and $136.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and include policy charges, net investment income from investments backing the contracts and administrative fees. Total interest credited to the account balances was $110.7 million, $107.3 million and $107.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The terms of these contracts are consistent in all material respects with what the Company offers to unaffiliated parties who are similarly situated.
 
The Company leases office space from NMIC. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company made lease payments to NMIC of $19.3 million, $18.7 million and $18.4 million, respectively.
 
NLIC has a reinsurance agreement with NMIC whereby all of NLIC’s accident and health business not ceded to unaffiliated reinsurers is ceded to NMIC on a modified coinsurance basis. Either party may terminate the agreement on January 1 of any year with prior notice. Under a modified coinsurance agreement, the ceding company retains invested assets, and investment earnings are paid to the reinsurer. Under the terms of NLIC’s agreements, the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates is borne by the reinsurer. The ceding of risk does not discharge the original insurer from its primary obligation to the policyholder. The Company believes that the terms of the modified coinsurance agreements are consistent in all material respects with what the Company could have obtained with unaffiliated parties. Revenues ceded to NMIC for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $430.8 million, $429.5 million and $335.6 million, respectively, while benefits, claims and expenses ceded during these years were $470.4 million, $398.8 million and $336.0 million, respectively.
 
Funds of NWD Investment Management, Inc. (NWD), an affiliate, are offered to the Company’s customers as investment options in certain of the Company’s products. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, customer allocations to NWD funds totaled $18.26 billion and $15.70 billion, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, NWD paid the Company $64.4 million, $51.6 million and $44.5 million, respectively, for the distribution and servicing of these funds.
 
Under a marketing agreement with NMIC, NLIC makes payments to cover a portion of the agent marketing allowance that is paid to Nationwide agents. These costs cover product development and promotion, sales literature, rent and similar items. Payments under this agreement totaled $28.3 million, $26.5 million and $23.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
The Company also participates in intercompany repurchase agreements with affiliates whereby the seller transfers securities to the buyer at a stated value. Upon demand or after a stated period, the seller repurchases the securities at the original sales price plus interest. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had no outstanding borrowings from affiliated entities under such agreements. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the most the Company had outstanding at any given time was $191.5 million, $55.3 million and $227.7 million, respectively, and the amounts the Company incurred for interest expense on intercompany repurchase agreements during these years were immaterial.
 
The Company and various affiliates entered into agreements with Nationwide Cash Management Company (NCMC), an affiliate, under which NCMC acts as a common agent in handling the purchase and sale of short-term securities for the respective accounts of the participants. Amounts on deposit with NCMC for the benefit of the Company were $601.3 million and $390.9 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and are included in short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets.
 
Certain annuity products are sold through affiliated companies, which are also subsidiaries of NFS. Total commissions and fees paid to these affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $58.1 million, $59.0 million and $63.1 million, respectively.

Contingencies
 
Legal Matters
 
The Company is a party to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. It is often not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of the pending investigations and legal proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses with any degree of certainty. Some matters, including certain of those referred to below, are in very preliminary stages, and the Company does not have sufficient information to make an assessment of the plaintiffs’ claims for liability or damages. In some of the cases seeking to be certified as class actions, the court has not yet decided whether a class will be certified or (in the event of certification) the size of the class and class period. In many of the cases, the plaintiffs are seeking undefined amounts of damages or other relief, including punitive damages and equitable remedies, which are difficult to quantify and cannot be defined based on the information currently available. The Company does not believe, based on information currently known by management, that the outcomes of such pending investigations and legal proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position. However, given the large and/or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results in a particular quarterly or annual period.
 
In recent years, life insurance companies have been named as defendants in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits relating to life insurance and annuity pricing and sales practices. A number of these lawsuits have resulted in substantial jury awards or settlements against life insurers other than the Company.
 
The financial services industry, including mutual fund, variable annuity, life insurance and distribution companies, has also been the subject of increasing scrutiny by regulators, legislators and the media over the past few years. Numerous regulatory agencies, including the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers and the New York State Attorney General, have commenced industry-wide investigations regarding late trading and market timing in connection with mutual funds and variable insurance contracts, and have commenced enforcement actions against some mutual fund and life insurance companies on those issues. The Company has been contacted by or received subpoenas from the SEC and the New York State Attorney General, who are investigating market timing in certain mutual funds offered in insurance products sponsored by the Company. The Company has cooperated with these investigations. Information requests from the New York State Attorney General and the SEC with respect to investigations into late trading and market timing were last responded to by the Company and its affiliates in December 2003 and June 2005, respectively, and no further information requests have been received with respect to these matters.

In addition, state and federal regulators have commenced investigations or other proceedings relating to compensation and bidding arrangements and possible anti-competitive activities between insurance producers and brokers and issuers of insurance products, and unsuitable sales and replacements by producers on behalf of the issuer. Also under investigation are compensation and revenue sharing arrangements between the issuers of variable insurance contracts and mutual funds or their affiliates, the use of side agreements and finite reinsurance agreements, funding agreements issued to back MTN programs, recordkeeping and retention compliance by broker/dealers, and supervision of former registered representatives. Related investigations and proceedings may be commenced in the future. The Company and/or its affiliates have been contacted by or received subpoenas from state and federal regulatory agencies, state securities law regulators and state attorneys general for information relating to certain of these investigations, including those relating to compensation, revenue sharing and bidding arrangements, anti-competitive activities, unsuitable sales or replacement practices, the use of side agreements and finite reinsurance agreements, and funding agreements backing the NLIC MTN program. The Company is cooperating with regulators in connection with these inquiries and will cooperate with NMIC in responding to these inquiries to the extent that any inquiries encompass NMIC’s operations.
 
These proceedings are expected to continue in the future and could result in legal precedents and new industry-wide legislation, rules and regulations that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including life insurance and annuity companies. These proceedings also could affect the outcome of one or more of the Company’s litigation matters. There can be no assurance that any such litigation or regulatory actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.
 
On November 15, 2006, NFS, NLIC and NRS were named in a lawsuit filed in the Untied States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio entitled Kevin Beary, Sheriff of Orange County, Florida, In His Official Capacity, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Nationwide Life Insurance Co., Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. and Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of all sponsors of 457(b) deferred compensation plans in the United States that had variable annuity contracts with the defendants at any time during the class period, or in the alternative, all sponsors of 457(b) deferred compensation plans in Florida that had variable annuity contracts with the defendants during the class period. The Class Period is from January 1, 1996 until the Class Notice is provided. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by arranging for and retaining service payments from certain mutual funds. The complaint seeks an accounting, a declaratory judgment, a permanent injunction and disgorgement or restitution of the service fee payments allegedly received by the defendants, including interest. On January 25, 2007, NFS, NLIC and NRS filed a motion to dismiss. NFS, NLIC and NRS intend to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
 
On February 11, 2005, NLIC was named in a class action lawsuit filed in Common Pleas Court, Franklin County, Ohio entitled Michael Carr v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company. The complaint seeks recovery for breach of contract, fraud by omission, violation of the Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act and unjust enrichment. The complaint also seeks unspecified compensatory damages, disgorgement of all amounts in excess of the guaranteed maximum premium and attorneys’ fees. On February 2, 2006, the Court granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification on the breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims. The Court certified a class consisting of all residents of the United States and the Virgin Islands who, during the Class Period, paid premiums on a modal basis to NLIC for term life insurance policies issued by NLIC during the Class Period that provide for guaranteed maximum premiums, excluding certain specified products. Excluded from the class are NLIC; any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of NLIC; all employees, officers and directors of NLIC; and any justice, judge or magistrate judge of the State of Ohio who may hear the case. The Class Period is from February 10, 1990 through February 2, 2006, the date the class was certified. On January 26, 2007, the plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. NLIC continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

On April 13, 2004, NLIC was named in a class action lawsuit filed in Circuit Court, Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, entitled Woodbury v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company. NLIC removed this case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois on June 1, 2004. On December 27, 2004, the case was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland and included in the multi-district proceeding entitled In Re Mutual Funds Investment Litigation. In response, on May 13, 2005, the plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint purporting to represent, with certain exceptions, a class of all persons who held (through their ownership of an NLIC annuity or insurance product) units of any NLIC sub-account invested in mutual funds that included foreign securities in their portfolios and that experienced market timing or stale price trading activity. The First Amended Complaint purports to disclaim, with respect to market timing or stale price trading in NLIC’s annuities sub-accounts, any allegation based on NLIC’s untrue statement, failure to disclose any material fact, or usage of any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance in connection with any class member’s purchases or sales of NLIC annuities or units in annuities sub-accounts. The plaintiff claims, in the alternative, that if NLIC is found with respect to market timing or stale price trading in its annuities sub-accounts, to have made any untrue statement, to have failed to disclose any material fact or to have used or employed any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance, then the plaintiff purports to represent a class, with certain exceptions, of all persons who, prior to NLIC’s untrue statement, omission of material fact, use or employment of any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance, held (through their ownership of an NLIC annuity or insurance product) units of any NLIC sub-account invested in mutual funds that included foreign securities in their portfolios and that experienced market timing activity. The First Amended Complaint alleges common law negligence and seeks to recover damages not to exceed $75,000 per plaintiff or class member, including all compensatory damages and costs. On June 1, 2006, the District Court granted NLIC’s motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s complaint. On November 29, 2006, the plaintiff filed its appellate brief with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals contesting the District Court’s dismissal. NLIC continues to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
 
On January 21, 2004, NLIC, Nationwide Life Insurance Company of America, NLAIC, NFS and Nationwide Financial Corporation (collectively referred to as the Companies) were named in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi entitled United Investors Life Insurance Company v. Nationwide Life Insurance Company and/or Nationwide Life Insurance Company of America and/or Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company and/or Nationwide Life and Annuity Company of America and/or Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. and/or Nationwide Financial Corporation, and John Does A-Z. In its complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the Companies and/or their affiliated life insurance companies caused the replacement of variable insurance policies and other financial products issued by United Investors with policies issued by the Companies. The plaintiff raises claims for (1) violations of the Federal Lanham Act, and common law unfair competition and defamation; (2) tortious interference with the plaintiff’s contractual relationship with Waddell & Reed, Inc. and/or its affiliates, Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc. and W&R Insurance Agency, Inc., or with the plaintiff’s contractual relationships with its variable policyholders; (3) civil conspiracy; and (4) breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, a full accounting, a constructive trust and costs and disbursements, including attorneys’ fees. On December 30, 2005, the Companies filed a motion for summary judgment. On June 15, 2006, the District Court granted the Companies’ motion for summary judgment on all grounds and dismissed the plaintiff’s entire case with prejudice. The plaintiff appealed the District Court’s decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeal has been fully briefed, and the Companies are awaiting a decision. The Companies continue to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
 
On August 15, 2001, NFS and NLIC were named in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut entitled Lou Haddock, as trustee of the Flyte Tool & Die, Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan, et al v. Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. and Nationwide Life Insurance Company. Currently, the plaintiffs’ fifth amended complaint, filed March 21, 2006, purports to represent a class of qualified retirement plans under ERISA that purchased variable annuities from NLIC. The plaintiffs allege that they invested ERISA plan assets in their variable annuity contracts and that NLIC and NFS breached ERISA fiduciary duties by allegedly accepting service payments from certain mutual funds. The complaint seeks disgorgement of some or all of the payments allegedly received by NLIC and NFS, other unspecified relief for restitution, declaratory and injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees. To date, the District Court has rejected the plaintiffs’ request for certification of the alleged class. NFS’ and NLIC’s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ fifth amended complaint is currently pending before the court. NFS and NLIC continue to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

Tax Matters
 
The Company’s federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the IRS. Management has established tax reserves representing its best estimate of additional amounts it may be required to pay if certain tax positions it has taken are challenged and ultimately denied by the IRS. These reserves are reviewed regularly and are adjusted as events occur that management believes impact its liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits or substantial agreement on the deductibility/non-deductibility of uncertain items, additional exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, release of administrative guidance or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue. Management believes its tax reserves reasonably provide for potential assessments that may result from IRS examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.
 
 
 
(15)
Guarantees
 
Since 2001, the Company has sold $626.1 million of credit enhanced equity interests in Low-Income-Housing Tax Credit Funds (Tax Credit Funds) to unrelated third parties. The Company has guaranteed cumulative after-tax yields to the third party investors ranging from 3.75% to 5.25% over periods ending between 2002 and 2022. As of December 31, 2006, the Company held guarantee reserves totaling $6.3 million on these transactions. These guarantees are in effect for periods of approximately 15 years each. The Tax Credit Funds provide a stream of tax benefits to the investors that will generate a yield and return of capital. If the tax benefits are not sufficient to provide these cumulative after-tax yields, then the Company must fund any shortfall, which is mitigated by stabilization collateral set aside by the Company at the inception of the transactions. The maximum amount of undiscounted future payments that the Company could be required to pay the investors under the terms of the guarantees is $1.36 billion. The Company does not anticipate making any payments related to these guarantees.
 
At the time of the sales, $5.9 million of net sale proceeds were set aside as collateral for certain properties owned by the Tax Credit Funds that had not met all of the criteria necessary to generate tax credits. Such criteria include completion of construction and the leasing of each unit to a qualified tenant, among others. Properties meeting the necessary criteria are considered to have “stabilized.” The properties are evaluated regularly, and the collateral is released when stabilized. During 2006 and 2005, no stabilization collateral amounts were released into income. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, $2.2 million of stabilization collateral was unrecognized and recorded as a reserve, respectively.
 
To the extent there are cash deficits in any specific property owned by the Tax Credit Funds, property reserves, property operating guarantees and reserves held by the Tax Credit Funds are exhausted before the Company is required to perform under its guarantees. To the extent the Company is ever required to perform under its guarantees, it may recover any such funding out of the cash flow distributed from the sale of the underlying properties of the Tax Credit Funds. This cash flow distribution would be paid to the Company prior to any cash flow distributions to unrelated third party investors.

Variable Interest Entities
 
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had relationships with 18 and 19 variable interest entities (VIEs), respectively, each of which the Company was the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2006, each VIE was a conduit that assists the Company in structured products transactions involving the sale of Tax Credit Funds to third party investors for which the Company provides guaranteed returns (see Note 15). The results of operations and financial position of these VIEs are included along with corresponding minority interest liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
VIE net assets were $445.5 million and $440.6 million as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The following table summarizes the components of net assets as of December 31:

The Company’s total loss exposure from VIEs of which the Company is the primary beneficiary was immaterial as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 (except for the impact of guarantees disclosed in Note 15).
 
In addition to the VIEs described above, the Company holds variable interests, in the form of limited partnerships or similar investments, in Tax Credit Funds of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These investments have been held by the Company for periods of 1 to 10 years and allow the Company to utilize certain tax credits and realize other tax benefits from affordable housing projects. The Company also has certain investments in other securitization transactions that qualify as VIEs, but of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The total exposure to loss on these VIEs was $68.9 million and $53.9 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Segment Information
 
Management views the Company’s business primarily based on its underlying products and uses this basis to define its four reportable segments: Individual Investments, Retirement Plans, Individual Protection, and Corporate and Other.
 
The primary segment profitability measure that management uses is pre-tax operating earnings, which is calculated by adjusting income from continuing operations before federal income taxes to exclude (1) net realized gains and losses on investments, hedging instruments and hedged items, except for periodic net coupon settlements on non-qualifying derivatives and net realized gains and losses related to securitizations and (2) the adjustment to amortization of DAC related to net realized gains and losses.
 
Individual Investments
 
The Individual Investments segment consists of individual The BEST of AMERICA® and private label deferred variable annuity products, deferred fixed annuity products, income products and advisory services. Individual deferred annuity contracts provide the customer with tax-deferred accumulation of savings and flexible payout options including lump sum, systematic withdrawal or a stream of payments for life. In addition, individual variable annuity contracts provide the customer with access to a wide range of investment options and asset protection features, while individual fixed annuity contracts generate a return for the customer at a specified interest rate fixed for prescribed periods.
 
Retirement Plans
 
The Retirement Plans segment is comprised of the Company’s private and public sector retirement plans business. The private sector primarily includes IRC Section 401(k) business, and the public sector primarily includes IRC Section 457 and Section 401(a) business, both in the form of full-service arrangements that provide plan administration and fixed and variable group annuities as well as administration-only business.
 
Individual Protection
 
The Individual Protection segment consists of investment life insurance products, including individual variable, COLI and BOLI products; traditional life insurance products; and universal life insurance products. Life insurance products provide a death benefit and generally allow the customer to build cash value on a tax-advantaged basis.
 
Corporate and Other
 
The Corporate and Other segment includes certain structured products business; the MTN program; net investment income and certain expenses not allocated to other segments; periodic net coupon settlements on non-qualifying derivatives; interest expense on debt; revenue and expenses of the Company’s non-insurance subsidiaries not reported in other segments; and net realized gains and losses related to securitizations.

The number of Contract Owners of Qualified and Non-Qualified Contracts as of January 31, 2007 was 833 and 506, respectively.
 
Item 28.                 Indemnification
 
Provision is made in Nationwide's Amended and Restated Code of Regulations and expressly authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Ohio, for indemnification by Nationwide of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of Nationwide, against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Ohio.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Nationwide pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Nationwide has been informed 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.
