<R>FIDELITY FREEDOM LIFETIME INCOME®</R>

Introduction

This prospectus describes a single premium variable income annuity contract (the "Contract") offered by Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company ("Fidelity Investments Life", the "Company", "FILI," "we," or "us"), the insurance company that is part of the group of financial service companies known as Fidelity Investments.

There are two types of Contracts. You may purchase a "Qualified Contract" that is an Individual Retirement Annuity, only with a contribution transferred from an IRA or rolled-over from a qualified plan such as a 401(a) or a 401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan, a governmental 457(b) plan, or an IRA. Or, you may purchase a "Non-qualified Contract" with money from any source, but you should generally not purchase a Non-qualified Contract with money from a qualified plan, IRA, 403(b) plan, or similar arrangement (other than a non-qualified deferred annuity contract).

The Contract provides you (the "Annuitant") with the opportunity to receive annuity income for life at regular intervals (the "Annuity Income Dates"). You choose the first Annuity Income Date, which may be up to one year from the day your Contract becomes effective (the "Contract Date"), and whether you want the Annuity Income Dates to be monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual. Annuity income can be for your lifetime, or for your lifetime and the lifetime of a second person you name (the "Joint Annuitant").

For a Qualified Contract, we will distribute all annuity income during your lifetime to you. For a Non-qualified Contract with a Joint Annuitant, we will distribute annuity income to both you and the Joint Annuitant while you both are alive. If there is a Joint Annuitant and he or she survives you, he or she will receive income for the remainder of his or her life. Your Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will receive the remaining annuity income, if any, only when all Annuitants are no longer living.

The Contract, like many annuities, pools the mortality experience of all Annuitants and Joint Annuitants. In effect, Annuitants and Joint Annuitants who live longer are subsidized by those who do not.

We offer six annuity income options. With four of them you choose whether or not to provide for a guaranteed minimum number of years of annuity income ("Guarantee Period"). A Contract with a Guarantee Period will provide less annuity income than an otherwise identical Contract without a Guarantee Period. The other two annuity income options provide a Withdrawal Period during which you have the ability to withdraw part or all of the Withdrawal Value. Only a Qualified Contract may have a Withdrawal Period. Withdrawals may result in a reduction or elimination of future annuity income. A Contract with a Withdrawal Period will provide slightly less annuity income than an otherwise identical Contract that does not permit withdrawals.

You purchase a Contract with a single payment (the "Purchase Payment"). You may not make additional purchase payments. The minimum Purchase Payment for a Contract is generally $25,000.

For a Qualified Contract, the entire amount of annuity income each year will generally be taxable unless your Purchase Payment includes after-tax contributions. For a Non-qualified Contract, a portion of the annuity income each year will generally be taxable until you have recovered the "investment in the Contract," after which the entire amount of annuity income will be taxable. For a more detailed discussion of the tax treatment of annuity income, see Tax Considerations.

Annuity income will vary in amount according to the investment results of the Investment Option in which your Contract is invested. We do not guarantee the amount of annuity income.

Investment Options

There are nine Investment Options. Three of the Investment Options (the "Freedom Fund Investment Options") each invests in a single Fidelity Variable Insurance Products ("VIP") Freedom Lifetime Income Fund. The Fidelity VIP Freedom Lifetime Income® Funds in which these Investments Options invest are: Fidelity VIP Freedom Lifetime Income® I Portfolio ("Lifetime Income I Fund"); Fidelity VIP Freedom Lifetime Income® II Portfolio ("Lifetime Income II Fund"); and Fidelity VIP Freedom Lifetime Income® III Portfolio ("Lifetime Income III Fund"). Five of the investment options (the "FundsManager Investment Options") each invests in a single Fidelity VIP FundsManager® Portfolio. The Fidelity VIP FundsManager® Portfolios in which these Investment Options invest are Fidelity VIP FundsManager® 20% Portfolio ("FundsManager 20% Portfolio"), Fidelity VIP FundsManager® 50% Portfolio ("FundsManager 50% Portfolio"), Fidelity VIP FundsManager® 60% Portfolio ("FundsManager 60% Portfolio"), Fidelity VIP FundsManager® 70% Portfolio ("FundsManager 70% Portfolio"), and Fidelity VIP FundsManager® 85% Portfolio ("FundsManager 85% Portfolio"). The remaining Investment Option invests solely in the Fidelity VIP Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market Fund"). Collectively, the Fidelity VIP Freedom Lifetime Income® Funds, Fidelity VIP FundsManager® Portfolios, and the Fidelity VIP Money Market Fund are known as "the Funds."

FFLI

Your Contract will be invested in only one Investment Option at any time. Initially your Contract will be invested in the Money Market Investment Option. After a brief period of time (generally 15 days from the time your Contract becomes effective) it will be invested in the Investment Option that is in accordance with your most recent allocation instructions. Thereafter, you may transfer ("Exchange") from one Investment Option to another up to four times each calendar year. See "Free Look Privilege" and "Investment Allocation of Your Purchase Payment".

Each Investment Option is a Subaccount of Fidelity Investments Variable Annuity Account I (the "Variable Account").

The investment adviser for each of the Fidelity VIP Freedom Lifetime Income® Funds and Fidelity VIP FundsManager® Portfolios is Strategic Advisers®, Inc., ("Strategic Advisers") an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company. The investment adviser for the Fidelity VIP Money Market Fund is Fidelity Management & Research Company.

Glossary

Annuitant(s) - You are the Annuitant. You may designate a Joint Annuitant on your application. If there is a Joint Annuitant, you and the Joint Annuitant together are the Annuitants. You receive lifetime annuity income. For a Qualified Contract, all annuity income during your lifetime must be received only by you. For a Non-qualified Contract with a Joint Annuitant, we will distribute annuity income to both you and the Joint Annuitant while you both are alive. Either you or the Joint Annuitant generally must be no older than age 85 on the Contract Date. To have a Withdrawal Period, either you or the Joint Annuitant generally must be no more than 72 years old on the Contract Date, and the Contract must be a Qualified Contract. For a Qualified Contract, you must also be the sole Owner.

Annuity Income Dates - The dates on which we determine the amount of annuity income. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on an Annuity Income Date, we will determine the amount of annuity income on the next day it is open. You choose whether you want Annuity Income Dates to be monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual.

Annuity Income Unit - A unit of measure used to calculate the amount of annuity income for an Investment Option.

Benchmark Rate of Return - The 3.5% annualized return that is assumed in the calculation of each amount of annuity income.

Beneficiary(ies) - The person(s) you designate to receive any payments under this Contract only when all Annuitants are no longer living. A Beneficiary who makes a timely election may choose to receive a lump sum instead of any remaining periodic annuity income.

Code - The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Contract - A variable immediate annuity contract designed to provide you and the Joint Annuitant, (if any), with annuity income for your life (or lives) beginning with the first Annuity Income Date.

Contract Date - The date your Contract becomes effective. This will be stated in your Contract.

Exchange - A transfer from one Investment Option to another.

Funds - Lifetime Income I Fund, Lifetime Income II Fund, Lifetime Income III Fund, FundsManager 20% Portfolio, FundsManager 50% Portfolio, FundsManager 60% Portfolio, FundsManager 70% Portfolio, FundsManager 85% Portfolio, and Money Market Fund.

Guarantee Period - A Contract with a Guarantee Period provides annuity income through a specified date even if no Annuitant lives to the end of the Guarantee Period. If no Annuitant lives to the end of the Guarantee Period, each Beneficiary will continue to receive income for the remainder of the Guarantee Period unless he or she chooses a commuted value as a lump sum benefit instead. A Contract with a Guarantee Period will provide lower annuity income on each Annuity Income Date than an otherwise identical Contract without a Guarantee Period.

Investment Options - The Subaccounts, each of which is a division of the Variable Account.

IRA - Refers generally to both an Individual Retirement Account and an Individual Retirement Annuity as defined in sections 408(a) and (b), respectively, of the Code. When it is used to refer to a Qualified Contract, it means a Contract that qualifies as an Individual Retirement Annuity as defined in section 408(b) of the Code.

Joint Annuitant - For a Qualified Contract, the Joint Annuitant (if any) (1) receives lifetime annuity income when you are no longer living; and (2) may not be an Owner.

For a Non-qualified Contract, the Joint Annuitant (1) will receive annuity income jointly with you in accordance with the terms of the Contract, and (2) may be an Owner, but does not have to be an Owner.

For both Qualified Contracts and Non-qualified Contracts, either you or the Joint Annuitant generally must be no older than age 85 on the Contract Date.

Net Investment Factor - An index used to measure the investment performance of an Investment Option from one Valuation Period to the next. The Net Investment Factor can be greater or less than one. The Net Investment Factor for each Investment Option for a Valuation Period is determined by adding (a) and (b), subtracting (c) and then dividing the result by (a) where: (a) is the value of the assets at the end of the preceding Valuation Period; (b) is the investment income and capital gains, realized or unrealized, credited during the current Valuation Period; and (c) is the sum of: (1) the capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged during the current Valuation Period plus any amount charged or set aside for taxes during the current Valuation Period; PLUS (2) the deduction from the Investment Option during the current Valuation Period representing the daily charge equivalent to an effective annual rate of 0.60%.

FFLI

Non-qualified Contract - A Contract other than a Qualified Contract. This type of Contract may be purchased with money from any source.

Owner - You, the Annuitant, are an Owner. For a Qualified Contract, you must be the sole Owner. For a Non-qualified Contract with a Joint Annuitant, the Joint Annuitant may also be an Owner. No other person may be an Owner. Owners have certain rights under the Contract.

Qualified Contract - A Contract that qualifies as an Individual Retirement Annuity under section 408(b) of the Code.

Subaccounts - Divisions of the Variable Account. Each Subaccount invests in the shares of one corresponding Fund.

Total Return - The investment performance of an Investment Option after all expenses.

Valuation Period - The period of time from the time Annuity Income Unit values are calculated to the next time such values are calculated. These calculations are made as of the close of business (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.

Variable Account - Fidelity Investments Variable Annuity Account I.

Withdrawal Period - You may choose on your application to have a Withdrawal Period if your Contract is a Qualified Contract. A Withdrawal Period is a period of time you can take money out of your Contract. The initial Withdrawal Period will be equal to the life expectancy of the Annuitant(s) expressed in whole numbers. The maximum length of your Contract's Withdrawal Period is limited by the Code. If no withdrawals are made from your Contract, the Withdrawal Period will operate as a Guarantee Period. A withdrawal made after the fifth anniversary of the first Annuity Income Date may shorten the Withdrawal Period. A Contract with a Withdrawal Period will provide lower annuity income on each Annuity Income Date than an otherwise identical Contract without a Withdrawal Period.

Withdrawal Value - The total amount available for you to take out of your Contract.

You - You are the Annuitant and an Owner.

Summary of the Contract

Purpose

This variable annuity contract is designed to provide periodic annuity income for your life, or for your life and the life of a Joint Annuitant you name on the application. If you choose to have a Withdrawal Period (which is available only for Qualified Contracts) and withdrawals are made from your Contract, annuity income may not last as long as it would have otherwise. If you do not choose to have a Withdrawal Period, you may choose to have a guaranteed minimum number of years of annuity income. You may select from a number of annuity income options. See Annuity Income Options. Annuity income varies from one Annuity Income Date to the next. See Annuity Income.

Annuity Income

We guarantee to provide annuity income for each Annuity Income Date for your lifetime and for the lifetime of the Joint Annuitant, if any, unless you choose to have a Withdrawal Period and withdrawals are made from your Contract. (Note that withdrawals made before age 59½ may result in a federal penalty tax. See Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions.) We do not guarantee the amount of annuity income. Neither do we guarantee any minimum number of Annuity Income Dates, unless you choose an option that provides for such a guarantee.

For a Qualified Contract, we will distribute all annuity income during your lifetime to you. For a Non-qualified Contract with a Joint Annuitant, we will distribute annuity income to both you and the Joint Annuitant while you both are alive. If there is a Joint Annuitant and he or she survives you, he or she will receive income for the remainder of his or her life. Your Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will receive the remaining annuity income, if any, only when all Annuitants are no longer living.

Purchase of Contract

A Qualified Contract is an Individual Retirement Annuity that you purchase with a contribution transferred from an IRA or rolled-over from a qualified plan such as a 401(a) or a 401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan, a governmental 457(b) plan, or an IRA. A Non-qualified Contract may be purchased with money from any source. You purchase the Contract with a single Purchase Payment. The minimum Purchase Payment is generally $25,000. FILI reserves the right to reject Purchase Payments in excess of limits it establishes from time to time.

Investment Options

Initially your Contract will be invested in the Money Market Investment Option. After a brief period of time (generally 15 days from the time your Contract becomes effective) it will be invested in the Investment Option that is in accordance with your most recent allocation instructions. Thereafter, you may transfer ("Exchange") from one Investment Option to another up to four times each calendar year. See "Free Look Privilege" and "Investment Allocation of Your Purchase Payment". You may only invest in one Investment Option at any time.

There are nine Investment Options: Lifetime Income I Fund; Lifetime Income II Fund; Lifetime Income III Fund; FundsManager 20% Portfolio; FundsManager 50% Portfolio; FundsManager 60% Portfolio; FundsManager 70% Portfolio; FundsManager 85% Portfolio; and Money Market Fund. Each invests in the Fund with the corresponding name.

The amount of annuity income will fluctuate from one Annuity Income Date to the next according to the investment results of the Investment Option in which you invest.

Free Look Privilege

You may return the Contract for a refund during the free look period. ONCE THE FREE LOOK PERIOD EXPIRES, YOU CANNOT RETURN THE CONTRACT FOR A REFUND. Together with your Contract, we will send you a letter containing the date on which your free look period ends.

Important

We intend this summary to provide only an overview of the more significant aspects of the Contract. You will find more detailed information in the rest of this prospectus and in your Contract. Your Contract constitutes the entire agreement between you and FILI and should be retained.

THE FUNDS

<R>The names and investment objectives of the below Funds may be similar to those of other funds available through the same Investment Advisor; however, the performance of such funds may differ significantly.</R>

Principal Investment Strategies

Lifetime Income I Fund, Lifetime Income II Fund and Lifetime Income III Fund each seeks high total return with a secondary objective of principal preservation as the fund approaches its ultimate target asset allocation and beyond.

Strategic Advisers invests each Fidelity VIP Freedom Lifetime Income Fund's assets in a combination of mutual funds managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company: domestic and international equity funds, investment-grade and high yield fixed-income funds, and short-term funds. The Fidelity VIP Freedom Lifetime Income Funds differ primarily due to their asset allocations among these fund types. The target asset allocation strategy for each Fidelity VIP Freedom Lifetime Income Fund is designed to provide an approach to asset allocation that is neither overly aggressive nor overly conservative.

Strategic Advisers allocates the assets of Lifetime Income I Fund, Lifetime Income II Fund and Lifetime Income III Fund among underlying Fidelity funds according to an asset allocation strategy that becomes increasingly conservative over time. Lifetime Income III Fund currently has a greater percentage of its assets allocated to equity mutual funds than Lifetime Income II Fund, and Lifetime Income II Fund currently has a greater percentage of its assets allocated to equity mutual funds than Lifetime Income I Fund.

Lifetime Income I Fund uses a moderate asset allocation strategy designed generally for investors in retirement who were born before 1939. The target asset allocation of Lifetime Income I Fund will become increasingly conservative until it reaches an ultimate target allocation of approximately 20% in domestic equity funds, 60% in investment-grade fixed-income funds, 5% in high yield fixed-income funds, and 15% in short-term funds (approximately between 2015 and 2020).

Lifetime Income II Fund uses a moderate asset allocation strategy designed generally for investors in retirement who were born between 1940 and 1949. The target asset allocation of Lifetime Income II Fund will become increasingly conservative until it reaches an ultimate target allocation of approximately 20% in domestic equity funds, 60% in investment-grade fixed-income funds, 5% in high yield fixed-income funds, and 15% in short-term funds (approximately between 2025 and 2030).

Lifetime Income III Fund uses a moderate asset allocation strategy designed generally for investors in retirement who were born between 1950 and 1959. The target asset allocation of Lifetime Income III Fund will become increasingly conservative until it reaches an ultimate target allocation of approximately 20% in domestic equity funds, 60% in investment-grade fixed-income funds, 5% in high yield fixed-income funds, and 15% in short-term funds (approximately between 2035 and 2040).

Approximately one to three years after the ultimate target asset allocation of Lifetime Income II Fund matches the ultimate target asset allocation of Lifetime Income I Fund, we expect that Lifetime Income II Fund will be combined with Lifetime Income I Fund. Those invested in Lifetime Income II Fund will be automatically invested in Lifetime Income Fund I. Lifetime Income II Fund would then cease to exist and any annuity income payments previously based on the investment performance of Lifetime Income II Fund would thereafter be based on the investment performance of Lifetime Income I Fund.

Similarly, approximately one to three years after the ultimate target asset allocation of Lifetime Income III Fund matches the ultimate target asset allocation of Lifetime Income I Fund, we expect that it will be combined with Lifetime Income I Fund. Those invested in Lifetime Income Fund III will be automatically invested in Lifetime Income Fund I. Lifetime Income Fund III would then cease to exist and any annuity income payments previously based on the investment performance of Lifetime Income III Fund would be based on the investment performance of Lifetime Income I Fund.

<R>The FundsManager Investment Options normally invest in a combination of underlying Fidelity retail and VIP funds. Strategic Advisers, Inc., invests each Fidelity VIP FundsManager Portfolio in a combination of funds which include domestic equity funds, international equity funds, fixed income funds, and money market funds. Each fund's assets are invested according to the fund's approximate minimum target asset allocation to equity funds reflected in its name. </R>

<R>FundsManager 20% Portfolio seeks high current income and, and as a secondary objective, capital appreciation. The target asset allocation of FundsManager 20% Portfolio is approximately 20% domestic equity funds, 50% fixed-income funds and 30% money market funds. </R>

<R>FundsManager 50% Portfolio seeks high total return. The target asset allocation of FundsManager 50% Portfolio is approximately 45% domestic equity funds, 5% international equity funds, 40% fixed-income funds, and 10% money market funds.</R>

<R>FundsManager 60% Portfolio seeks high total return. The target asset allocation of FundsManager 60% Portfolio is approximately 50% domestic equity funds, 10% international equity funds, 35% fixed-income funds, and 5% money market funds.</R>

FFLI

FundsManager 70% Portfolio seeks high total return. The target asset allocation of FundsManager 70% Portfolio is approximately 60% domestic equity funds, 10% international equity funds, 25% fixed-income funds, and 5% money market funds.

FundsManager 85% Portfolio seeks high total return. The target asset allocation of FundsManager 85% Portfolio is approximately 70% domestic equity funds, 15% international equity funds, and 15% fixed-income funds.

The Money Market Fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity. Fidelity Management & Research Company's principal investment strategies for the Money Market Fund include: (1) investing in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities of domestic and foreign issuers and repurchase agreements; (2) potentially entering into reverse repurchase agreements; (3) investing more than 25% of total assets in the financial services industries; and (4) investing in compliance with industry-standard requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity, and diversification of investments.

Facts About the Contract

PURCHASE OF A CONTRACT

We offer Contracts only in states in which we have obtained approval. You may purchase a Qualified Contract only with money transferred from an IRA or rolled over from a qualified retirement plan such as a 401(a) or 401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan, a governmental 457(b) plan, or an IRA. You may purchase a Non-qualified Contract with money from any source.

· The minimum Purchase Payment for a Contract is generally $25,000.

· You are the Annuitant. For a Qualified Contract, you must be the sole Owner of the Contract. For a Non-qualified Contract with a Joint Annuitant, the Joint Annuitant may also be an Owner. No other person may be an Owner. Owners have certain rights under the Contract.

· Generally, either you or the Joint Annuitant must be no more than 85 years old. To have a Withdrawal Period either you or the Joint Annuitant generally must be no more than 72 years old on the Contract Date, and your Contract must be a Qualified Contract.

· Application and Purchase Payment

When we receive your properly completed application, we will apply your payment to the purchase of a Contract within two Valuation Periods after receipt at the Annuity Service Center. We will consider your application properly completed as soon as:

(1) you have provided all the information requested on the application form, including your choice of annuity income option;

FFLI

(2) we have received adequate proof of your date of birth (and the date of birth of the Joint Annuitant, if any); and

(3) we receive the entire amount of your Purchase Payment.

The date your Contract becomes effective is called the Contract Date. If your application is incomplete, we will request the information necessary to complete the application. If you do not furnish the information within five business days of the time we receive your application, we will return your payment unless we obtain your specific permission to keep it until you complete the application.

FILI reserves the right to reject certain deposits made with cash-like instruments including, but not limited to money orders, cashier's checks, bank drafts, postal money orders and Traveler's Express international money orders.

FREE LOOK PRIVILEGE

If you choose to cancel the Contract, return it to the Annuity Service Center with a written request within the free look period. In accordance with applicable federal and state laws, we will promptly refund either (1) your Purchase Payment (without interest), or (2) the amount of your Purchase Payment plus or minus the investment performance of your Contract. We will also make an adjustment for the amount of any annuity income we paid before we received the Contract. This provision may vary by state where required by applicable state insurance law. ONCE THE FREE LOOK PERIOD EXPIRES, YOU CANNOT RETURN THE CONTRACT FOR A REFUND.

For most Contracts (other than replacements), we estimate the free look right to be in existence for 15 calendar days after the Contract is mailed to you. If your free look period ends on a non-business day, the next business day will be used.

INVESTMENT ALLOCATION OF YOUR PURCHASE PAYMENT

During part or all of your free look period, your entire Purchase Payment (less any deduction for taxes) will be allocated to the Money Market Investment Option. If the free look period for your Contract is 15 days or less, you will be entirely invested in the Money Market Investment Option for the entire free look period. If the free look period for your Contract is longer than 15 days, you will be entirely invested in the Money Market Investment Option for either 15 days or the length of time that applicable law requires that we return at least the amount of your Purchase Payment, whichever is longer. On the first business day after the end of the applicable period your Contract will be entirely invested in the Investment Option that is in accordance with your most recent allocation instructions. Thereafter, you may Exchange from one Investment Option to another up to four times each calendar year.

EXCHANGES

You may Exchange from one Investment Option to another up to four times each calendar year. Each Exchange must be with respect to all your annuity income. There are no partial Exchanges. All Exchanges will be effected based on the Annuity Income Unit values of the Investment Options at the time of the Exchange, and the total dollar value of your units will be the same immediately before and immediately after the Exchange.

  • Making Exchanges by Telephone or Internet

Currently you may make Exchanges by telephone and/or Internet. We reserve the right to revise or terminate your ability to make Exchanges by telephone or through the Internet. We also reserve the right to limit the amount of any telephone or Internet Exchange or to reject any telephone or Internet Exchange.

We will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized telephone or Internet Exchanges if we follow reasonable procedures designed to verify the identity of the caller or Internet user. We may record telephone calls. You should verify the accuracy of your Exchanges by checking the confirmations and statements we send to you as soon as you receive them. Notify the Annuity Service Center immediately if you find any discrepancies. We will not be responsible for losses unless you notify us within ten calendar days from the first time we mail a confirmation or statement containing details of the transaction.

  • Market Timing

Some Owners use firms or individuals who engage in market timing. Such firms or individuals usually obtain authorization from Owners to make Exchanges among the Investment Options on the basis of perceived market trends. Large Exchanges resulting from market timing activity may disrupt the management of the Funds and become a detriment to other Owners.

To protect Owners not engaging in market timing, we reserve the right to reject Exchanges communicated to us by anyone acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more than one Owner. We also reserve the right to reject Exchange instructions we receive from anyone that any Owner has authorized to make multiple Exchanges. We will exercise these rights only if we believe that doing so will prevent harm to other Owners.

FFLI

Short-Term Trading Risk

Frequent Exchanges among Investment Options by Contract Owners can reduce the long-term returns of the Funds. The reduced returns could adversely affect the owners, annuitants, insureds or beneficiaries of any variable annuity or variable life insurance contract issued by any insurance company with respect to values allocated to the Fund. Frequent Exchanges may reduce a Fund's performance by increasing costs paid by the Fund (such as brokerage commissions); they can disrupt portfolio management strategies; and they can have the effect of diluting the value of the shares of long term shareholders in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the Fund's net asset value.

The Money Market Fund and FundsManager Portfolios are also available for use in products issued by other insurance companies. There is a significant risk that that short-term trading in the Funds may go undetected. The Funds themselves generally cannot detect individual contract owner exchange activity, because they are owned primarily by insurance company separate accounts that aggregate exchange orders from owners of individual contracts. Accordingly, the Funds are dependent in large part on the rights, ability and willingness of all participating insurance companies to detect and deter short-term trading by contract owners. As a result of the adoption of Rule 22c-2 of Investment Company Act of 1940, all Funds have entered into information sharing agreements with FILI that will require FILI, upon request, to (i) provide the Funds with specific information about Contract Owner transfer activity, and, if so requested by a Fund, (ii) prohibit future transfers into such Fund.

As outlined below, FILI has adopted policies regarding frequent trading, but can provide no assurance that other insurance companies using the same mutual funds have adopted comparable procedures. There is also the risk that these policies and procedures concerning short-term trading will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent frequent trading. Please review the Funds' prospectuses for specific information about the Funds' short-term trading policies and risks.

FILI Policies Regarding Frequent Trading

FILI does not authorize market timing. FILI has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage frequent Exchanges as described below. If requested by a Fund, FILI will consider additional steps to discourage frequent Exchanges in that Fund, not inconsistent with the policies and procedures described below.

Contract Owners who engage in frequent Exchanges may be subjected to temporary or permanent restrictions on future purchases or Exchanges in a Fund. Further, Contract Owners who have engaged in frequent trading in the Funds, or in other mutual funds managed by FMR, may be subjected to temporary or permanent restrictions on purchases or exchanges in those funds. FILI may alter its policies, in any manner not inconsistent with the terms of the Contract, at any time without notice to Owners.

Although there is no minimum holding period and Contract Owners can make withdrawals or Exchanges out of any Investment Option at any time, Contract Owners may ordinarily comply with FILI's policies regarding frequent trading by allowing 90 days to pass after each purchase or allocation into an Investment Option before they withdraw or Exchange out of that Investment Option.

In addition, each Fund reserves the right to reject the Variable Account's entire purchase or exchange transaction at any time, which would make FILI unable to execute Contract Owner purchase, withdrawal or exchange transactions involving that Fund on that trading day. FILI's policies and procedures are separate and independent from any policies and procedures of the Funds, and do not guarantee that the Funds will not reject orders placed by the Variable Account.

Frequent Trading Monitoring and Restriction Procedures

FILI has adopted policies and procedures related to Exchanges among Investment Options that are set out below. Frequent trading activity is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions by an Owner. A roundtrip transaction occurs when an Owner makes an allocation or Exchange into an Investment Option followed by a withdrawal or Exchange out of the same Investment Option within 30 days. Owners are limited to one roundtrip transaction per Investment Option within any rolling 90 day period, subject to an overall limit of four roundtrip transactions in the Contract over a rolling 12 month period.

Owners with two or more roundtrip transactions in one Investment Option within a rolling 90 day period will be blocked from making additional allocations or exchanges into that Investment Option, through any means, for 85 days.

In addition, Owners who complete a fourth (or higher) roundtrip transaction within any rolling 12 month period, at least two of which are completed on different business days, will have a U.S. Mail-Only Trade Restriction imposed on all contracts/policies they own that are issued by FILI or its affiliates. This rule will apply even if the four or more round trips occur in two or more different Investment Options. This restriction will stay in effect for 12 months. If the Owner makes another round trip in a contract that is currently subject to a U.S. Mail-Only Trade Restriction, then the U.S. Mail-Only Trade Restriction period (12 months) is restarted and all purchase transactions will be permanently blocked in the violated Investment Option across all contracts with common ownership.

FILI further reserves the right to reject specific transactions or impose restrictions as described above in respect of any Contract owned or controlled commonly with a Contract subject to the above restrictions, or in respect of any Contract owned or controlled commonly by a person who is the subject of a complex-wide block.

FFLI

Exceptions

FILI has approved the following exceptions to the frequent trading policy:

(1) Transactions in the Money Market Investment Option;

(2) Annuity payments will not count toward an Investment Option's roundtrip limits;

(3) FILI may suspend the frequent trading policy and make exceptions to the policy for transactions made during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. There is no assurance that FILI will do so or that, if it does so, the underlying mutual funds will make any necessary exceptions to their frequent trading policies.

No other exceptions will be allowed. The frequent trading procedures will be applied consistently to all Owners.

  • Effective Date of Exchanges Among Investment Options

Any redemption from an Investment Option that is part of an Exchange among Investment Options will be effected as of the end of the Valuation Period in which we receive the request at our Annuity Service Center. Generally the purchase of Annuity Income Units in other Investment Options with the proceeds of the redemption will occur at the same time. However, if your Exchange involves (1) moving from an Investment Option that invests in an equity Fund that is in an illiquid position due to substantial redemptions or exchanges that require it to sell portfolio securities in order to make funds available, and (2) moving to an Investment Option that invests in a Fund that accrues dividends on a daily basis and requires federal funds before accepting a purchase order, then there may be a delay in crediting the amount that is moving to the new Investment Option. The delay will last until the Investment Option from which the Exchange is being made obtains liquidity, or for seven days, whichever is shorter. During this period, the amount to be transferred from the illiquid Investment Option will be uninvested.

CHARGES

The following are all the charges we make under the Contract.

1. Premium Taxes. Some states charge a "premium tax" based on the amount of your Purchase Payment. State premium taxes range from 0% to 3.5%. In addition, some counties, cities or towns may charge additional premium taxes. If you reside in a place where premium taxes apply, we will deduct any amount needed to provide for the applicable premium taxes from your Purchase Payment. We will allocate the remainder of your Purchase Payment to the Money Market Investment Option.

2. Administrative Charges. Administrative charges compensate us for the expenses we incur in administering the Contracts. These expenses include the cost of issuing the Contract, making electronic funds transfers to your bank account or issuing checks, maintaining necessary systems and records, and providing reports. These expenses are covered by a daily administrative charge.

Each day, a deduction is made from the assets of each Investment Option at an effective annual rate of 0.10%. We guarantee this charge will never increase.

3. Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. We deduct a daily asset charge for our assumption of mortality and expense risks. Each day we deduct an amount from the assets of each Investment Option at an effective annual rate of 0.50%.

The mortality risk is our obligation to provide annuity income for your life (and the life of the Joint Annuitant, if any) no matter how long that might be. The expense risk is our obligation to cover the cost of issuing and administering the Contracts, no matter how large that cost may be. FILI will realize a gain from the charge for these risks to the extent that it is not needed to provide for benefits and expenses under the Contracts.

4. Expenses of the Funds. The Funds are charged management fees and incur operating expenses. The effect of these fees and expenses is reflected in the performance of the Investment Options. See the prospectuses for the Funds for a description of the Funds' fees and expenses.

5. Other Taxes. FILI reserves the right to charge for certain taxes (other than premium taxes) that it may have to fund. Currently, no such charges are being made. See FILI's Tax Status.

FILI or its insurance agency affiliate receives annual compensation of up to 0.40% of assets allocated to the underlying mutual funds, for customer service, distribution and recordkeeping services with respect to those assets. This compensation is received from the funds' advisers or their affiliates. These payments are not contract charges, and do not increase the fund or contract charges described in this section or in the fee table.

ANNUITY INCOME DATES

We calculate the amount of your annuity income on each Annuity Income Date. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on an Annuity Income Date, we will calculate the amount of annuity income on the next day it is open. You select the first Annuity Income Date when you purchase the Contract. The first Annuity Income Date may be either the first or the fifteenth day of a month. All subsequent Annuity Income Dates will be on the same day of the month as the first Annuity Income Date. The first Annuity Income Date may be up to one year after the Contract Date. The first Annuity Income Date may not be earlier than 30 days after the Contract Date.

FFLI

On the application, you choose the frequency of annuity income. You can choose monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual annuity income.

Annuity income will generally be sent at the end of the Valuation Period immediately following the day on which the amount is determined.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEE

Certain requests may require a signature guarantee. A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity Investments Life from fraud. Your request must be in writing and may require a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

1. Loss of Contract Ownership.

2. In any circumstances where we deem it necessary for your protection.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

DEATH BENEFIT

If no Annuitant lives to the first Annuity Income Date, the Contract will terminate and we will make a payment equal to your Purchase Payment to your Beneficiary or Beneficiaries.

If your Contract is a joint and survivor annuity and either you or the Joint Annuitant dies before the first Annuity Income Date, we will adjust the annuity income so that it equals what would have been paid under a single life annuity issued to the survivor. We will also adjust any Guarantee Period or Withdrawal Period, as required by law, so that it is not longer than the life expectancy of the survivor. This will usually result in greater annuity income.

ANNUITY INCOME

All income under the Contract will vary from one Annuity Income Date to the next according to the investment experience of the Investment Option in which you are invested.

All references to annuity income and the guaranteed duration of annuity income are subject to the limitation stated on page 1 of the prospectus: "We do not guarantee the amount of annuity income." Annuity income may increase or decrease. Annuity income will end in the unlikely event that the value of every security held in the Investment Option in which you are invested is reduced to zero.

Variable annuity income may decrease upon the death of the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant, as described for Options 3 and 4 under Annuity Income Options.

<R>Your Purchase Payment (less any deduction for taxes) will initially purchase units of the Money Market Investment Option. The number of units will depend on (a) your age and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, sex (and the age and sex of the Joint Annuitant, if any); (b) the annuity income option; (c) the frequency of Annuity Income Dates; (d) the first Annuity Income Date; (e) the value of the units on the date your Contract becomes effective. The value of the units reflects the investment performance of the Money Market Investment Option.</R>

Your units of the Money Market Investment Option will be exchanged automatically for Annuity Income Units in the Investment Option you choose on your application. The total dollar value of your units will be the same immediately before and immediately after the exchange. The date on which this will occur will depend on the free look provision of your Contract, which varies by state.

During part or all of your free look period, your entire Purchase Payment (less any deduction for taxes) will be allocated to the Money Market Investment Option. If the free look period for your Contract is 15 days or less, you will be entirely invested in the Money Market Investment Option for the entire free look period. If the free look period for your Contract is longer than 15 days, you will be entirely invested in the Money Market Investment Option for either 15 days or the length of time that applicable law requires that we return at least the amount of your Purchase Payment, whichever is longer. On the first business day after the end of the applicable period your Contract will be entirely invested in the Investment Option that is in accordance with your most recent allocation instructions.

FFLI

FILI calculates the amount of your annuity income based on the number of Annuity Income Units you have. At the close of business on each Annuity Income Date the number of Annuity Income Units is multiplied by the value of an Annuity Income Unit for that Investment Option. The result is the amount of annuity income for that Annuity Income Date. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on an Annuity Income Date, we will determine the amount of annuity income on the next day it is open.

We will generally transmit each annuity income payment on the first business day after the Annuity Income Date. If you elect to receive your annuity income payment by direct deposit, you will usually receive your income sooner than if we send it to you through the mail.

Annuity income decreases upon the death of the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant as described for Options 3 and 4 under Annuity Income Options.

The value of an Annuity Income Unit is affected by the expenses of the Funds, the mortality and expense risk charge, and the administrative charge. See Charges. We calculate Annuity Income Unit values for each Investment Option at the close of each Valuation Period. These calculations are made as of the close of business (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.

The Annuity Income Unit value for an Investment Option for any Valuation Period is equal to (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c) where:

(a) is the Net Investment Factor for the Valuation Period for which the Annuity Income Unit Value is being calculated;

(b) is the Annuity Income Unit Value for the preceding Valuation Period; and

(c) is the daily Benchmark Rate of Return factor of 0.99990575, adjusted for the number of days in the Valuation Period.

The Net Investment Factor can be greater or less than one. The Net Investment Factor for each Investment Option for a Valuation Period is determined by adding (a) and (b), subtracting (c) and then dividing the result by (a) where: (a) is the value of the assets at the end of the preceding Valuation Period; (b) is the investment income and capital gains, realized or unrealized, credited during the current Valuation Period; and (c) is the sum of: (1) the capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged during the current Valuation Period plus any amount charged or set aside for taxes during the current Valuation Period; PLUS (2) the deduction from the Investment Option during the current Valuation Period representing the daily charge equivalent to an effective annual rate of 0.60%.

BENCHMARK RATE OF RETURN

When you purchase a Contract, we calculate an estimated first annuity income amount, assuming that your Contract will earn the Benchmark Rate of Return, which is 3.5% per year. Assuming that you do not make any withdrawals, if the annualized investment return of your Contract is greater than the benchmark between the Contract Date and the first Annuity Income Date, the first annuity income amount will be higher than the estimate. If it is less, the first annuity income amount will be lower than the estimate.

Annuity income will vary from one Annuity Income Date to the next. If you do not make any withdrawals from one Annuity Income Date to the next, then annuity income will (a) increase if the annualized investment return for your Contract is greater than the Benchmark Rate of Return, and (b) decrease if the annualized investment return for your Contract is less than the Benchmark Rate of Return.

COMPARING WITHDRAWAL PERIOD TO GUARANTEE PERIOD

On your application you have a choice among a number of annuity income options. See Annuity Income Options. You may also choose to have either a Withdrawal Period or a Guarantee Period, but not both. Your Contract may have a Withdrawal Period only if it is a Qualified Contract.

You may compare a Contract with a Withdrawal Period to one that provides a Guarantee Period.

With a Withdrawal Period, annuity income is guaranteed to last for the longer of (1) the life or lives of the Annuitant(s) or (2) the Withdrawal Period. A withdrawal may cause the Withdrawal Period to shorten or end.

With a Guarantee Period, annuity income is guaranteed to last for the longer of (1) the life or lives of the Annuitant(s) or (2) the Guarantee Period. With a Guarantee Period, withdrawals are not possible, and the date on which the Guarantee Period will end will not change.

FREQUENCY OF ANNUITY INCOME DATES

For any annuity income option, you choose on your application whether to receive annuity income monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. The more frequent the Annuity Income Dates, the lower the annuity income on each Annuity Income Date. You cannot change the frequency of annuity income later. The options FILI currently offers are described below.

FFLI

CHOOSING YOUR ANNUITY INCOME OPTION

You choose your annuity income option on your application. You cannot change it later. You may choose an annuity income option only if it has been approved for sale by the insurance department in your state.

If you purchase a Qualified Contract and choose to have a Guarantee Period or a Withdrawal Period, the number of years may have to be limited in order to satisfy certain minimum distribution requirements of the Code. If you name a Joint Annuitant who is not your spouse, the annuity income options from which you may select under a Qualified Contract may be limited, depending on the difference in ages between you and the Joint Annuitant.

ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS WITHOUT A WITHDRAWAL PERIOD

Option 1. Single Life Annuity. We will provide annuity income for your entire life, no matter how long that may be. Annuity income stops when you are no longer living, unless your Contract contains a Guarantee Period and the Guarantee Period has not ended. It is possible that your total annuity income under this option will be less than your Purchase Payment. It is even possible that you might receive annuity income only once under this option. This would happen if you were to die before the second Annuity Income Date. Because of this risk, this option offers you the highest level of annuity income.

Option 2. Joint and Survivor Annuity With Full Annuity Income to the Survivor. Under this option, we will provide annuity income jointly to you and the Joint Annuitant while you are both living, except that for a Qualified Contract during your lifetime we provide the income only to you. After the death of either of you, we will continue to provide the full amount of annuity income to the survivor. Annuity income stops when both you and the Joint Annuitant are no longer living, unless your Contract contains a Guarantee Period and the Guarantee Period has not ended. As in the case of the single life annuity described above, there is the risk that you may receive annuity income only once.

Options 3. Joint and Survivor Annuity With Reduced Annuity Income to the Survivor. This option is like Option 2 above, except that annuity income is higher while both you and the Joint Annuitant are living, and lower when only one of you is still living. You indicate on your application whether annuity income to the survivor is reduced to two-thirds or one-half of the amount that it would have been were you both still alive.

Option 4. Joint and Survivor Annuity With Full Annuity Income to the Annuitant if the Joint Annuitant Dies, but Reduced Annuity Income to the Joint Annuitant if the Annuitant Dies. This option is like Option 3 above, but annuity income is not reduced upon the death of the Joint Annuitant if the Joint Annuitant is the first to die. In case you are the first to die, you indicate on your application whether annuity income to the Joint Annuitant is reduced to two-thirds or one-half of the amount that it would have been were you both still alive. While you and the Joint Annuitant are both still alive, this option provides greater annuity income than Option 2 but not as much annuity income as Option 3.

For Options 2, 3 and 4, if either Annuitant dies before the first Annuity Income Date, we will adjust the annuity income so that it equals what would have been paid under a single life annuity issued to the survivor. This will generally result in greater annuity income.

GUARANTEE PERIOD

If you select annuity income option 1, 2, 3 or 4 on your application, you may also choose to have a Guarantee Period. A Guarantee Period may not be less than five years, or more than forty-five years, and the maximum Guarantee Period you can choose is subject to limits contained in the Code. Upon request we will inform you of the maximum length your Guarantee Period can be. A Contract with a Guarantee Period provides annuity income through a specified date even if no Annuitant lives to the end of the Guarantee Period. If neither you nor the Joint Annuitant lives to the end of the Guarantee Period, any remaining annuity income will go to your Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. A Beneficiary who becomes entitled to annuity income may choose instead to receive a lump sum, but only if he or she notifies us within 60 days of the date we receive notice of the death of the last surviving Annuitant. Otherwise the Beneficiary will receive annuity income for the remainder of the Guarantee Period.

The Code limits the maximum length of any Guarantee Period for a Qualified Contract. If you purchase a Qualified Contract and choose to have a Guarantee Period, you cannot also have a Withdrawal Period. For Options 3 and 4 above, if you and the Joint Annuitant die at the same time, the annuity income due to any Beneficiary will be the same as if you died before the Joint Annuitant. If you choose to have a Guarantee Period, the amount of annuity income on each Annuity Income Date will be lower than if you purchased an otherwise identical Contract without the Guarantee Period.

If you choose Option 2, 3 or 4 with a Guarantee Period and either you or the Joint Annuitant dies before the first Annuity Income Date we will shorten the Guarantee Period, if necessary to comply with the Code, so that it is not longer than the life expectancy of the survivor. This may result in a shorter Guarantee Period and a generally higher amount of annuity income.

FFLI

Lump Sum Payments. We will pay a lump sum if the Guarantee Period has not ended and one of the following conditions exists: (a) a Beneficiary elects a lump sum on the death of the last surviving Annuitant; (b) a Beneficiary receiving annuity income dies; or (c) the last surviving Annuitant dies and there is no surviving Beneficiary. For (b), we will pay the Beneficiary's estate. For (c), we will pay the estate of the Annuitant who died last.

A lump sum will generally be the present value of the annuity income for the remaining guaranteed Annuity Income Dates, based on interest compounded annually at the Benchmark Rate of Return.

If we believe that the first annuity income amount due to any Beneficiary will be less than $50, we may instead provide a lump sum for the value of all remaining annuity income. The amount of the lump sum will be determined on the same basis as described above for other lump sums.

ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS WITH A WITHDRAWAL PERIOD

Your Contract may have a Withdrawal Period only if it is a Qualified Contract.

Option 5. Single Life Annuity with Withdrawal Period. We will provide annuity income, beginning with the first Annuity Income Date, for as long as you live unless you surrender your Contract. If you die on or after the first Annuity Income Date and before the end of the Withdrawal Period, we will provide any remaining annuity income or Withdrawal Value to the Beneficiary(ies) according to the terms of the Contract. A Beneficiary who notifies us within 60 days of the date we receive notice of the death of the last surviving Annuitant may choose instead to receive his or her share of the Withdrawal Value. Otherwise, the Beneficiary will receive annuity income for the remainder of the Withdrawal Period.

Option 6. Joint and Survivor with Full Annuity Income to the Survivor with Withdrawal Period. If you do not surrender your Contract or make withdrawals, we will provide full annuity income, beginning with the first Annuity Income Date, while either you or the Joint Annuitant is still living.

If either you or the Joint Annuitant dies before the first Annuity Income Date, we will adjust the annuity income so that it equals what would have been paid under a single life annuity with a Withdrawal Period. We will also adjust the Withdrawal Period, as required by law, so that it is not longer than the life expectancy of the survivor. This may result in a shorter Withdrawal Period and a higher amount of annuity income.

If the last surviving Annuitant dies on or after the first Annuity Income Date and before the end of the Withdrawal Period, we will provide any remaining annuity income or Withdrawal Value to the Beneficiary(ies) according to the terms of the Contract. A Beneficiary who notifies us within 60 days of the date we receive notice of the death of the last surviving Annuitant may choose instead to receive his or her share of the Withdrawal Value. Otherwise, the Beneficiary will receive annuity income for the remainder of the Withdrawal Period.

WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS

If you have purchased a Contract with a Withdrawal Period, you can make withdrawals from your Contract by writing to our Annuity Service Center. See How to Make Withdrawals.

The amount you can withdraw will depend on when you make the withdrawal and the investment experience of your Contract. See Withdrawal Value.

The length of time you can make withdrawals is called the Withdrawal Period. See Withdrawal Period.

Certain withdrawals will have the effect of ending your Contract, i.e. there will be no more annuity income. Other withdrawals may shorten the Withdrawal Period. All withdrawals will reduce the amount of annuity income. See Effect of Withdrawals.

How to Make Withdrawals

All withdrawal instructions must be in writing and be received at our Annuity Service Center. You may make a partial or full withdrawal of the Withdrawal Value. You may not make more than two partial withdrawals each calendar year. Any partial withdrawal must be for at least $500. You may not make any partial withdrawal on or before the fifth anniversary of your Contract's first Annuity Income Date that would reduce your annuity income below $1,200 per year at the time of the withdrawal.

Withdrawal Value

The Withdrawal Value changes each Valuation Period. What follows is an overview of how we determine the Withdrawal Value for each Valuation Period. For a complete description of how the Withdrawal Value is calculated, see Withdrawal Value in the Statement of Additional Information.

FFLI

The Withdrawal Value for a Valuation Period is the sum of two amounts, which we call Part A and Part B. On the day we issue your Contract, the total of Part A and Part B equals your Purchase Payment less any federal, state or local taxes we deducted from your Purchase Payment. The amount you can withdraw from your Contract decreases over time, eventually becoming zero.

Part A is based on the portion of your Purchase Payment that provides annuity income during the Withdrawal Period. Part B is based on the portion of your Purchase Payment that provides annuity income after the Withdrawal Period.

Part A changes (up or down) each Valuation Period based on the investment experience of your Contract. Also, each withdrawal and each annuity income payment reduces the value of Part A. Part A becomes zero at the end of the Withdrawal Period and remains zero thereafter.

Part B also changes (up or down) each Valuation Period based on the investment experience of your Contract. Withdrawals (but not annuity income payments) also reduce the value of Part B. Beginning one year after your first Annuity Income Date, Part B reflects a percentage which declines each day. The percentage declines at a rate of 25% per year, so five years after your first Annuity Income Date Part B becomes zero and remains zero thereafter.

The reductions in the values of Part A and Part B resulting from a withdrawal are in proportion to their values just before the withdrawal.

Withdrawal Period

The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued regulations under section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code that apply to Qualified Contracts. If you take a withdrawal from a Qualified Contract with a Withdrawal Period, it is unclear whether any portion of the money you receive from the Contract during the year can be rolled over tax-free to another IRA or eligible retirement plan. See Tax Considerations.

When you purchase your Contract we set the Withdrawal Period to be equal to the life expectancy of the Annuitant or Annuitants, expressed in whole numbers. The maximum length of any Withdrawal Period is limited by the Code and the regulations under section 401(a)(9) of the Code. A Contract with a Withdrawal Period will provide slightly less annuity income on each Annuity Income Date than an otherwise identical Contract without a Withdrawal Period. The shorter your Withdrawal Period, the greater the difference in income.

If no withdrawals are made from your Contract, then your Contract will provide annuity income for the entire Withdrawal Period. In this respect, the Withdrawal Period works like a Guarantee Period, i.e. annuity income would be guaranteed to last for the longer of (1) the life or lives of the Annuitant(s) or (2) the Withdrawal Period. However, if you make withdrawals, the Withdrawal Period may shorten or end, as described in Effect of Withdrawals below.

Effect of Withdrawals

Withdrawals made during the first five years after the first annuity income date will have different consequences from withdrawals made after the first five years. Full withdrawals will have different consequences from partial withdrawals.

YOU SHOULD THINK MORE CAREFULLY ABOUT MAKING A WITHDRAWAL THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR FIRST ANNUITY INCOME DATE. IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES YOU WILL BE BETTER OFF WAITING UNTIL AFTER THAT DATE TO MAKE A WITHDRAWAL. For example, withdrawals made after the end of the fifth year of annuity income would reduce your annuity income but would not cause your annuity income to end. In the same Contract, withdrawing all of the Withdrawal Value on or before the end of the fifth year would result in the loss of all future annuity income and your Contract would end. See the descriptions below to understand how withdrawals made during your first five years of annuity income may have different effects from withdrawals made later.

  • <R>Full Withdrawals During First Five Years</R>

If you withdraw all of the Withdrawal Value on or before the fifth anniversary of your Contract's first Annuity Income Date, your Contract will end and you will not receive any more annuity income.

  • <R>Partial Withdrawals During First Five Years</R>

If you withdraw part of the Withdrawal Value on or before the fifth anniversary of your Contract's first Annuity Income Date, then the amount withdrawn will be subtracted from the Withdrawal Value and all remaining annuity income will be reduced, in the same ratio that the amount withdrawn bears to the Withdrawal Value. A partial withdrawal during the first five years will have no impact on the length of the remainder of the Withdrawal Period.

FFLI

· Full Withdrawals After First Five Years

If you withdraw all of the Withdrawal Value after the fifth anniversary of your Contract's first Annuity Income Date, you will no longer have a Withdrawal Value, the Withdrawal Period will end, and all remaining annuity income will be reduced.

· Partial Withdrawals After First Five Years

If you withdraw part of the Withdrawal Value after the fifth anniversary of your Contract's first Annuity Income Date, the amount withdrawn will be subtracted from the Withdrawal Value, all remaining annuity income will be reduced, and the Withdrawal Period will be shortened.

For both full and partial withdrawals made after the first five years, the value of the reduced annuity income plus the amount of the withdrawal will be equivalent to the value of the annuity income just prior to the withdrawal. The value of the reduced annuity income must comply with the IRS required minimum distributions rules, and this may result in further reductions in future annuity income payments than described in this section. The Company will determine equivalence using modified insurance industry mortality tables.

REPORTS

We will send you a statement showing the number of Annuity Income Units in your selected Investment Option, and the value of each Annuity Income Unit, at least once each calendar quarter. If your Contract has a Withdrawal Period, we will show your Withdrawal Value at least once each calendar quarter.

You should verify the accuracy of your transaction confirmations and quarterly statements immediately after you receive them and notify the Annuity Service Center promptly of any discrepancies, as we will not be responsible for resulting losses due to unit value changes after 10 calendar days from the mailing of the report.

We will also send you semiannual reports containing financial statements for the Funds, and a list of portfolio securities of the Funds, as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940. All reports will be sent without charge to your last known address.

<R>In addition, we will furnish such annual calendar year reports concerning the status of your Contract and such information concerning required minimum distributions as is prescribed by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service.</R>

<R>Contract owners have access to their contract information online at Fidelity.com.</R>

More About the Contract

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The Contracts in General

Qualified Contracts are intended to qualify as Individual Retirement Annuities under section 408(b) of the Code. Non-qualified Contracts are intended to qualify as annuities under section 72 of the Code. You should seek competent advice as to the tax consequences associated with the use of a Contract.

Owner and Annuitant

You must be both an Owner and the Annuitant of a Contract, and, except as otherwise provided by applicable federal tax law, you must remain as both Owner and Annuitant. For a Qualified Contract, you must be the sole Owner, and, if you name a Joint Annuitant, all annuity income distributions made while you are alive must be made to you.

Nontransferable and Nonforfeitable

Your interest under a Qualified Contract is nontransferable, and except as provided by law, is nonforfeitable.

No Use of Contract as Loan Collateral

You may not use your Contract as collateral for a loan. Any attempt to do so will be void.

Single Premium Contract

The Contract is a single premium contract. You may not make additional purchase payments. The minimum Purchase Payment for a Contract is generally $25,000. You may purchase a Qualified Contract only with a contribution transferred from an IRA or rolled-over from a qualified plan such as a 401(a) or a 401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan, a governmental 457(b) plan, or an IRA. You may purchase a Non-qualified Contract with money from any source.

FFLI

Treatment of Distributions

Distributions from Qualified Contracts. Your Qualified Contract must satisfy certain minimum distribution requirements under the Code and the regulations under the Code. These requirements affect when distributions must begin and the form in which distributions must be paid. For Qualified Contracts, distributions of minimum amounts specified in the tax law must generally begin by April 1 of the year following the year in which you reach age 70½. The length of any Guarantee Period or Withdrawal Period may need to be limited in certain circumstances to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements. For Qualified Contracts, failure to comply with these minimum distribution requirements will result generally in the imposition of an excise tax equal to 50% of the amount by which a required minimum distribution exceeds the amount actually distributed. In order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, if you name a Joint Annuitant who is not your spouse, the annuity income options from which you may select may be limited, depending on the difference in ages between you and the Joint Annuitant.

Your Qualified Contract might have a Withdrawal Period, during which you may withdraw part or all of the Contract's Withdrawal Value. If you take a withdrawal, it is unclear what portion of the money you receive from your Contract during the year will be considered necessary to meet your minimum required distributions for the year, and thus will be ineligible to be rolled over tax-free within 60 days to another IRA or eligible retirement plan. Due to this uncertainty, we will not process direct transfers to another IRA and will treat all withdrawals of the Withdrawal Value from a Qualified Contract as distributions for tax reporting and withholding purposes. Accordingly, we will report such withdrawals on a 1099R form. Owners should consult a tax advisor before withdrawing an amount from a Qualified Contract with the intention of rolling it over to another arrangement.

In addition, distributions from a Qualified Contract other than required minimum distributions and distributions of any after-tax amounts generally may be rolled over tax-free within 60 days to a qualified plan under section 401(a) of the Code, a qualified annuity under section 403(a) of the Code, a tax-sheltered annuity contract under section 403(b) of the Code, a custodial account under section 403(b)(7) of the Code, a governmental plan under section 457(b) of the Code, or an IRA.

After-Tax Contributions

To the IRS we will report all distributions from your Qualified Contract as being fully taxable to you. If your Purchase Payment for a Qualified Contract includes any "after-tax" amounts (i.e. amounts that were neither deductible when made nor excludable from income), you will need to keep track of these amounts in your Contract and file a Form 8606 with the IRS in order that you may calculate and claim on your income tax return the non-taxable portion of distributions from your Contract.

Distributions from Non-qualified Contracts

For a Non-qualified Contract, the portion of an annuity income distribution that is includible in ordinary income may vary depending on the annuity income option that you choose, but generally is the excess of the distribution over the "exclusion amount" as defined in the tax law. The exclusion amount is generally the "investment in the contract" adjusted for any Guarantee Period, divided by the expected number of periodic annuity income distributions (as determined under Treasury Department regulations). After the dollar amount of the investment in the Contract is deemed to be recovered, the entire amount of each annuity income distribution will be fully includible in income.

If annuity income distributions cease before the adjusted investment in the Contract is fully recovered, the person receiving those distributions at the time of their death will be allowed a deduction for the unrecovered amount of the adjusted investment in the Contract.

If your Contract has a Guarantee Period and neither you nor any Joint Annuitant lives to the end of that period, any remaining annuity income distributions made to a Beneficiary are includible in income as follows: (1) if received in a lump sum, they are included in income to the extent that they exceed the unrecovered investment in the Contract at the time; or (2) if distributed as annuity income distributions, they are fully excluded from income until the remaining investment in the Contract is deemed to be recovered, and all annuity income distributions thereafter are fully includible in income.

Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions

In general, in the case of a distribution from an IRA, a penalty tax equal to 10% of the portion of the distribution that is includible in gross income will be imposed unless the distribution: (1) is made on or after the Owner attains age 59½; (2) is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the Owner or for the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Owner and his or her designated beneficiary (as defined in the tax law); or (3) satisfies some other exception to the penalty tax.

FFLI

Annuity income distributions from a Contract typically not be subject to the penalty tax imposed under the Code on premature distributions if the first Annuity Income Date is after you attain age 59½. If you own a Qualified Contract with a Withdrawal Period and the first Annuity Income Date is before you attain age 59½, a withdrawal that is made either before age 59½ or within 5 years of the first Annuity Income Date generally will trigger the application of the penalty tax to the withdrawal and all distributions made prior to the withdrawal.

It is unclear at this time whether annuity income payments under a Non-qualified Contract to a recipient who is not yet age 59½ satisfy an exception to the penalty tax. If you expect that you or any Joint Annuitant will receive annuity income before reaching age 59½, you should consult with a tax advisor.

Aggregation of Contracts

In certain circumstances where you purchase a Non-Qualified Contract together with another non-qualified annuity contract, the IRS may determine the amount of an annuity income payment that is includible in gross income by combining your Non-Qualified Contract with the other non-qualified annuity contract. If you purchase a Qualified Contract, Federal tax law requires that for purposes of determining the taxable portion of a distribution from an IRA, you must treat (1) all IRAs owned by you as one contract, (2) all IRA distributions during the taxable year as one distribution, and (3) the value of the contract, the income on the contract, and investment in the contract are computed as of the end of the year.

Federal Income Tax Withholding and Reporting

We will withhold and remit to the federal government a part of the taxable portion of each distribution made under a Contract unless the distributee notifies us at or before the time of the distribution that he or she elects not to have any amounts withheld. In certain circumstances we may be required to withhold tax. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of periodic annuity payments (other than eligible rollover distributions) are the same as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. In addition, a 10% withholding rate will apply to the taxable portion of any withdrawal if you have not specified another rate. You are liable for payment of federal income on the taxable portion of any distribution from a Contract whether or not federal income tax is withheld. FILI will report all annuity income distributions made while you are alive as being distributed in full to you, even if you name a Joint Annuitant.

Diversification Requirements

For a Non-qualified Contract to be treated as an annuity contract for Federal income tax purposes, the investments of the Variable Account must be "adequately diversified". The Treasury Department has issued regulations which prescribe standards for determining whether the investments of the Variable Account are "adequately diversified". If the Variable Account failed to comply with these diversification standards, the Contracts would not be treated as annuity contracts for Federal income tax purposes, and each Owner would be taxable currently on the income and gain from the assets of the Variable Account. Although FILI does not control the investments of the Funds, FILI has entered into agreements with the Funds requiring them to operate in compliance with the Treasury Department regulations so that the Variable Account will be considered "adequately diversified".

Ownership Treatment

In certain circumstances, Owners may be considered the owners, for Federal income tax purposes, of the assets of the Variable Account used to support their contracts. In those circumstances, income and gains from the assets of the Variable Account would be includible in the Owners' gross income. We reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to attempt to prevent Contract Owners from being considered the owners of the assets of the Variable Account. The discussion in these Tax Considerations of the tax consequences of owning a Contract assumes that the Contract will be treated as an annuity contract for Federal income tax purposes and that we will be treated as the owner of the assets of the Variable Account.

Fidelity Investments Life's Tax Status

FILI is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. The earnings of the Variable Account are taxed as part of our operations, and thus the Variable Account is not separately taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Code. Under existing federal income tax laws, investment income and capital gains of the Variable Account are not taxed to the extent they are applied under a Contract. Therefore, we do not expect to incur federal income taxes on earnings of the Variable Account to the extent the earnings are credited to Contracts. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Variable Account for our federal income taxes. We will periodically review the need for a charge to the Variable Account for company federal income taxes. If FILI is taxed on investment income or capital gains of the Variable Account, then FILI may impose a charge against the Variable Account in order to provide for such taxes.

FFLI

Under current laws we may incur state and local taxes (in addition to premium taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant and are not charged against the Contracts or the Variable Account. If the amount of these taxes changes substantially, we may make charges for such taxes against the Variable Account.

General Tax Considerations

The above discussion is not exhaustive and is not intended as tax advice. The federal income tax consequences associated with the purchase of an immediate annuity, like the Contract, are complex, and the application of the pertinent tax rules to a particular person may vary according to facts specific to that person. A qualified tax advisor should always be consulted regarding the application of law to individual circumstances.

This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Department regulations, and interpretations existing on the date of this Prospectus. These authorities, however, are subject to change by Congress, the Treasury Department, and judicial decisions.

The above discussion does not address federal gift tax, state or local income tax, or other considerations which may be involved in the purchase, operation, or exercise of any rights or options under a Contract. Also, this discussion does not address estate tax issues that might arise due to your death or the death of a Joint Annuitant. Your particular situation and the particular situation of the Joint Annuitant, if any, and each Beneficiary will determine the federal estate taxes and the state and local estate, inheritance and other taxes due. You should seek competent tax advice on such matters pertaining to you.

Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company makes no guarantee regarding any tax treatment, federal, state, or local, of any Contract or of any transaction involving a Contract.

OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS

You should also be aware of the following important provisions of your Contract.

1. Owner(s). Before a Contract is issued, the Owner(s) acting together have the right to (a) choose an annuity income option; (b) choose an Investment Option; (c) name the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries; and (d) select the first Annuity Income Date and the frequency of annuity income distributions. For a Non-qualified Contract with one Owner, the Owner may also name a Joint Annuitant, but there is no requirement to have a Joint Annuitant.

After a Contract is issued, the Owner(s) have the right to: (a) Exchange from one Investment Option to another (b) change any Beneficiary (except that an irrevocable Beneficiary may not be changed without that Beneficiary's consent); (c) cancel the Contract during the free look period; (d) instruct us how to vote shares of the Fund in which your Investment Option invests; and (e) to withdraw from the Contract during the Withdrawal Period, if there is one.

For a Non-qualified Contract with two Owners, either Owner may make an Exchange or give us voting instructions, but only both Owners acting together can cancel the Contract during the free look period or change a Beneficiary.

2. Annuitant. As Annuitant, you have the right to receive annuity income under the terms of the Contract. You also have rights as an Owner as described above.

3. Joint Annuitant.

For a Qualified Contract, the Joint Annuitant will receive annuity income only after your death, and only in accordance with the terms of the annuity income option you select. The Joint Annuitant may not be an Owner.

For a Non-qualified Contract, the Joint Annuitant will receive annuity income jointly with you in accordance with the terms of the Contract. The Joint Annuitant may be an Owner, but does not have to be an Owner.

If the Joint Annuitant survives you, he or she will have the right to: (a) Exchange from one Investment Option to another; (b) change any Beneficiary (except an irrevocable Beneficiary); (c) cancel the Contract during the free look period; (d) instruct us how to vote shares of the Fund in which your Investment Option invests; and (e) to withdraw from the Contract during the Withdrawal Period, if there is one.

4. Beneficiary.

For All Contracts. You may name one or more Beneficiaries when you complete your application. You may change Beneficiaries later, unless you have designated an irrevocable Beneficiary, in which case we will require the consent of the irrevocable Beneficiary in writing.

If you (and the Joint Annuitant, if any) do not live to the first Annuity Income Date, we will make a payment equal to your Purchase Payment to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. Surviving Beneficiaries will receive equal shares unless you specify otherwise. If (1) no Beneficiary survives you and the Joint Annuitant (if any), and (2) the Withdrawal Period or Guarantee Period (if any) has not ended, we will provide a lump sum to the estate of the last to die of you and the Joint Annuitant.

FFLI

Each Beneficiary receiving annuity income will have the right to instruct us how to vote Fund shares attributable to that income.

A Beneficiary may be a "Primary Beneficiary" or a "Contingent Beneficiary." No Contingent Beneficiary has the right to proceeds unless all of the Primary Beneficiaries die before proceeds are determined.

For Contracts with a Guarantee Period. Each Beneficiary will receive his or her share of annuity income for the remainder of the Guarantee Period if you (and the Joint Annuitant, if any) die after the first Annuity Income Date. A Beneficiary who becomes entitled to annuity income may choose instead to receive a lump sum, but only if he or she notifies us within 60 days of the date we receive notice of the death of the last surviving Annuitant. A lump sum will generally be the present value of the annuity income for the remaining guaranteed Annuity Income Dates, based on interest compounded annually at the Benchmark Rate of Return.

If a Beneficiary receiving annuity income dies, we will provide to the Beneficiary's estate a lump sum, generally equal to the present value of the annuity income for the remaining guaranteed Annuity Income Dates, based on interest compounded annually at the Benchmark Rate of Return.

For Contracts with a Withdrawal Period. Each Beneficiary will receive his or her share of any remaining annuity income for the remainder of the Withdrawal Period if you and the Joint Annuitant (if any) die on or after the first Annuity Income Date. A Beneficiary who becomes entitled to annuity income may choose instead to receive a lump sum, but only if he or she notifies us within 60 days of the date we receive notice of the death of the last surviving Annuitant. The lump sum amount will be the Withdrawal Value of his or her share of annuity income.

If a Contract with a Withdrawal Period is within its first five years after the first annuity income date, it will typically be more advantageous for the Beneficiary to choose to receive his or share of the Withdrawal Value. The Beneficiary must notify us within 60 days of the date we receive notice of the relevant death to elect a lump sum.

If a Beneficiary receiving annuity income dies, we will provide to the Beneficiary's estate a lump sum equal to the Withdrawal Value of the Beneficiary's share of annuity income.

5. Misstatement of Date of Birth or Sex. If the date of birth or sex of you or the Joint Annuitant has been misstated, FILI will change the benefits to those which would have been provided had the correct date(s) of birth and sex(es) been stated.

If the misstatement is not discovered until after the first Annuity Income Date, FILI will take the following action: (1) if FILI provided too much annuity income, FILI will add interest at the rate of 6% per year compounded annually and withhold annuity income on later Annuity Income Date(s) until it has recovered the excess; (2) if FILI provided too little annuity income, we will make up the balance plus interest at the rate of 6% per year compounded annually in a lump sum.

6. Assignment. The Contract may not be sold, assigned, discounted or pledged. Any attempt to do so will be void.

7. Dividends. The Contract is "non-participating." This means that there are no dividends. Annuity income will vary in amount with the investment results of the Investment Option to which you allocate your Purchase Payment.

8. Notification of Death. Any Beneficiary claiming an interest in the Contract must provide us in writing with due proof of your death and the death of the Joint Annuitant, (if any), at the Annuity Service Center, unless we have already received such proof. We will not be responsible for any annuity income paid to you or the Joint Annuitant, (if any), before we receive due proof of death at the Annuity Service Center.

You and the Joint Annuitant are each responsible for notifying FILI of the death of the other. Each Beneficiary is responsible for notifying FILI of the death of the last surviving Annuitant. Upon the death of the last person with the right to receive annuity income under a Contract, that person's executor is responsible for notifying FILI. If too much annuity income is provided because FILI is not notified of a death, FILI may withhold annuity income on subsequent Annuity Income Dates, or take legal action, until it has recovered any excess amounts.

9. Proof of Survival. Before making any payment that depends on a person being alive, we may require proof that the person is alive.

10. Protection of Proceeds. To the extent allowed by law, annuity income is not subject to the claims of creditors or to legal process.

SELLING THE CONTRACTS

<R>The Contracts are distributed through Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC and Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc. Each is a subsidiary of FMR LLC, the parent company of FILI. Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC is the principal underwriter (distributor) of the Contracts. Fidelity Distributors Corporation is the distributor of the Fidelity family of funds. The principal business address of Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC and Fidelity Distributors Corporation is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc. receives sales compensation from FILI of not more than 0.10% of the reserves held to support the Contracts. Amounts paid by FILI to Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc. will be paid out of the general assets of FILI, which may include proceeds derived from mortality and expense risk charges FILI deducts from the Variable Account.</R>

FFLI

POSTPONEMENT OF BENEFITS

We will generally transmit each annuity income payment on the first business day after the Annuity Income Date. We will generally send any withdrawal amount on the first business day after the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive the withdrawal request. We will usually send any lump sum distributions to Beneficiaries within seven days of the day we receive proper notice. We will usually send any death benefit within seven days after we receive (1) due proof of your death (for a single life Contract) or the deaths of you and the Joint Annuitant (for a joint life Contract) and (2) any required tax withholding and other information. However, we may delay sending these amounts if (1) the disposal or valuation of the Variable Account's assets is not reasonably practicable because the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than a regular holiday or weekend, trading is restricted by the SEC, or the SEC declares that an emergency exists; or (2) the SEC by order permits postponement for any other reason.

More About the Variable Account and the Funds

CHANGES IN INVESTMENT OPTIONS

FILI has the right to eliminate any Investment Option, to combine Investment Options, or substitute a fund for the Fund in which an Investment Option invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in FILI's judgment, a Fund no longer suits the purpose of the Contract. This may happen due to a change in laws or regulations, or a change in a Fund's investment objectives or restrictions, or because the Fund is no longer available for investment, or for some other reason. FILI would obtain prior approval from the SEC and any other required approvals before making such a substitution.

FILI also reserves the right to operate the Variable Account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act or any other form permitted by law or to deregister the Variable Account under such Act in the event such registration is no longer required.

TOTAL RETURN FOR AN INVESTMENT OPTION

The Total Return reflects the investment performance of an Investment Option, less all expenses and charges, for the Valuation Period. FILI determines the Total Return of an Investment Option at the end of each Valuation Period. Such determinations are made as of the close of business each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.

Shares of the Funds are valued at net asset value. Any dividends or capital gains distributions of a Fund are reinvested in shares of that Fund.

VOTING RIGHTS

FILI will vote shares of the Funds owned by the Variable Account according to your instructions. However, if the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any related regulations or interpretations should change, and FILI decides that it is permitted to vote the shares of the Funds in its own right, it may decide to do so.

FILI calculates the number of shares that you may instruct it to vote by dividing the reserve maintained in the Investment Option to meet the obligations under the Contract by the net asset value of one share of the corresponding Fund. Fractional votes will be counted. FILI reserves the right to modify the manner in which it calculates the weight to be given to your voting instructions where such a change is necessary to comply with federal regulations or interpretations of those regulations.

FILI will determine the number of shares you can instruct it to vote 90 days or less before the applicable Fund shareholder meeting. At least 14 days before the meeting, we will mail you material for providing your voting instructions.

If your voting instructions are not received in time, FILI will vote the shares in the same proportion as the instructions received with regard to all other contracts issued through the Variable Account. FILI will also vote shares it holds in the Variable Account that are not attributable to contracts in the same proportionate manner. Under certain circumstances, FILI may be required by state regulatory authorities to disregard voting instructions. This may happen if following such instructions would change the sub-classification or investment objectives of the Funds, or result in the approval or disapproval of an investment advisory contract.

Under federal regulations, FILI may also disregard instructions to vote for changes in investment policies or the investment adviser if it disapproves of the proposed changes. FILI would disapprove a proposed change only if it were contrary to state law, prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or if it decided that the change would result in overly speculative or unsound investments. If FILI ever disregards voting instructions, it will include a summary of its actions in the next semiannual report.

LITIGATION

Neither FILI, the Variable Account, nor Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC is a party to any material litigation.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

1. This Disclosure Statement addresses the Federal income tax treatment of a single premium variable income annuity contract (the "Contract") that is issued by Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company ("FILI") as an Individual Retirement Annuity ("IRA annuity"). It is important that you read this statement carefully.

This disclosure statement is for your general information and is not intended to be exhaustive or conclusive, to apply to any particular person or situation, or to be used as a substitute for qualified legal or tax advice. Also, the information contained herein is based on current Federal income tax law, income tax regulations, and other guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). Hence, this information is subject to change upon an amendment of the law or the issuance of further regulations or other guidance.

Revocation

2. You are allowed to revoke or cancel your Contract within ten (10) days of the later of (1) the date of the application for the Contract; or (2) the date you receive the Contract. Upon revocation, FILI will refund the greater of (1) your Purchase Payment in full, neither crediting your Contract for earnings, nor charging it with any administrative expenses; or (2) your Purchase Payments plus the investment performance of the Money Market Investment Option.

You may revoke your Contract by mailing or delivering a notice of revocation to:

Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company
Annuity Service Center
P.O. Box 770001
Cincinnati, OH 45277-0050

A notice of revocation shall be deemed mailed on the date of the postmark (or if sent by certified or registered mail, the date of certification or registration) if it is deposited in the mail in the United States in an envelope, or other appropriate wrapper, first class postage prepaid, properly addressed.

Any questions regarding this procedure may be directed to a Fidelity Annuity Specialist at 800-544-2442.

Contributions

3. You may purchase a Contract as an IRA annuity with proceeds from a (1) non-taxable rollover from a qualified plan, tax-sheltered annuity or custodial account under section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), Individual Retirement Account ("IRA account"), or another IRA annuity, or (2) a non-taxable transfer from an IRA account or another IRA annuity.

4. Subsequent contributions will not be accepted.

5. No deduction is allowed for contributions.

Investments

6. Your entire interest in the Contract is nonforfeitable.

7. The Contract is not transferable and is established for the exclusive benefit of you and your beneficiaries.

Distributions

8. A distribution from your Contract is includible in your gross income for the year in which the distribution is made and is taxed as ordinary income, except to the extent the distribution is treated as a recovery of non-deductible contributions, if any. Special rules apply for purposes of determining the portion of a distribution that is allocable to any non-deductible contributions.

9. If a distribution from the Contract is made before you attain age 59½, your tax for the year in which the amount is received is increased by a penalty tax equal to 10% of the portion of the distribution that is includible in gross income. However, this 10% premature distribution penalty tax generally does not apply if the distribution (1) is made on account of your death or disability; (2) is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments over your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of you and a second person designated by you; or (3) satisfies some other specified exception to this penalty tax.

10. The entire interest in an IRA must be distributed or commence to be distributed no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the owner attains age 70½. Installment payments may be made in accordance with income tax regulations over the owner's life (or the lives of the owner and his or her designated beneficiary within the meaning of the Code) or over a period not exceeding the owner's life expectancy (or the joint life expectancy of the owner and his or her designated beneficiary). If the owner dies after required distributions have commenced, any remaining interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used at the time of death. If the owner dies before required distributions have commenced, any remaining interest must be distributed generally (1) within 5 years, or (2) over the life or life expectancy of the designated beneficiary commencing by the end of the year following the year of the owner's death (or by the end of the year in which the owner would have attained age 70½, if later, and the owner's spouse is the sole beneficiary).

FFLI

Not Part of the Prospectus

In order for annuity income payments under the Contract to comply with these minimum distribution requirements, it might be necessary in certain circumstances to limit (1) the length of any guarantee period under an annuity income option, and (2) limit the joint and survivor annuity income options from which you may select. Also, if you name a Joint Annuitant, all distributions made while you are alive must be made to you.

If required distributions are not timely made, you will be liable for a 50% penalty tax on the difference between the required minimum distribution for the tax year and the amount actually paid to you. The IRS has the authority to waive this penalty tax under certain circumstances.

11. Special rules apply with respect to rollovers and transfers from IRAs. You should seek competent tax advice to comply with the requirements for rollovers and transfers.

Other Tax Considerations

12. You must file an IRS Form 5329 (Additional Taxes on Qualified Plans (Including IRAs) and Other Tax-Favored Accounts) with your income tax return for a year in which there is a penalty tax due because of premature distributions or insufficient distributions.

13. The Contract has not been approved as to form for use as an IRA by the IRS. Such approval is a determination only as to the form of the Contract, and does not represent a determination of the merits of the Contract.

14. Further information concerning IRAs and Roth IRAs can be obtained from any district office of the IRS and from IRS Publication 590 (Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs)).

Prohibited Transactions

15. The Contract may cease to be an IRA, whichever is applicable, because of a prohibited transaction. Generally, a prohibited transaction is any improper use of your Contract by you, a beneficiary, or any disqualified person. If during a taxable year you borrow any money under your Contract or use the Contract in another prohibited manner (for example, if the Contract is pledged as collateral for a loan), the Contract will cease to be an IRA as of the first day of the taxable year, you must include in your gross income for the year an amount equal to the fair market value of the Contract as of the first day of the taxable year, and you may have to pay a 10% premature distribution penalty tax (discussed above).

Financial Information

16. The value of your investment will depend on how you allocate your Purchase Payment between fixed and variable annuity income. The portion of your Purchase Payment allocated to fixed annuity income results in income that is guaranteed and is the same from one Annuity Income Date to the next unless you choose an annuity income option that calls for decreasing annuity income upon your death or the death of the Joint Annuitant. The annuity income from the portion of your Purchase Payment allocated to the Investment Options will vary depending upon the actual investment performance of the Investment Options you choose. No minimum amount of variable annuity income is guaranteed. See your prospectus for a more detailed description.

17. As further described in the prospectus, the following are all the charges that FILI currently makes:

(a) Administrative Charge

FILI deducts a daily charge from the assets of the Investment Options equivalent to an effective annual rate of 0.10%. This charge is not made against any portion of your Purchase Payment allocated to the purchase of fixed annuity income.

(b) Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

You may purchase a Contract only with contributions rolled-over from a qualified plan such as a 401(a) or a 401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan, a governmental 457(b) plan, or an IRA.

Investments by the Investment Options in securities of foreign issuers may result in a foreign investment tax credit which we will claim on our federal income tax filings. Also, we receive fees from the funds' Advisers for administrative services we provide.

WITHDRAWAL VALUE

If your Contract has a Withdrawal Period you should be aware of the following.

The amount you can withdraw from this Contract at the close of a Valuation Period is called the Withdrawal Value. There are two parts to your Withdrawal Value, Part A and Part B. The sum of Part A and Part B equals your Withdrawal Value.

Part A

Part A is based on the portion of your Purchase Payment that provides annuity income during the Withdrawal Period. On the Contract Date, Part A equals this portion of the Purchase Payment less any deductions made from this portion for state, federal or local taxes.

At the end of each subsequent Valuation Period, a new value for Part A is computed, as follows:

(1) Start with Part A at the close of the prior Valuation Period.

(2) Multiply (1) by the Net Investment Factor for the Investment Option in which your Contract is invested. See Net Investment Factor on page 9 of the Prospectus.

(3) If an Annuity Income Date occurs during the Valuation Period, subtract from (2) an amount equal to the amount of the variable annuity income payment for that Annuity Income Date.

(4) Subtract from (3) an amount attributable to any withdrawals made during the Valuation Period. To determine the amount subtracted, multiply the amount of the withdrawal by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of Part A at the close of the current Valuation Period and the denominator of which is the sum of Part A and Part B at the close of the current Valuation Period, without regard to the withdrawal during the Valuation Period.

Part A becomes zero at the end of your Withdrawal Period and remains zero thereafter.

Part B

Part B is based on the remainder of your Purchase Payment and reflects the portion of your Purchase Payment that provides annuity income after the Withdrawal Period. On the Contract Date, Part B equals this portion of the Purchase Payment less any deductions made from this portion for state, federal or local taxes.

At the end of each subsequent Valuation Period, a new value for Part B is computed, as follows:

(1) Start with Part B at the close of the prior Valuation Period.

(2) Multiply (1) by the Net Investment Factor for the Investment Option in which your Contract is invested.

(3) Subtract from (2) an amount attributable to any withdrawals made during the Valuation Period. To determine the amount subtracted, multiply the amount of the withdrawal by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of Part B at the close of the current Valuation Period and the denominator of which is the sum of Part A and Part B at the close of the current Valuation Period, without regard to the withdrawal during the Valuation Period.

(4) Multiply (3) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the percentage factor at the end of the current Valuation Period, and the denominator of which is the percentage factor at the end of the prior Valuation Period.

The percentage factor is 100% until one year after your first Annuity Income Date. The percentage factor then declines daily at a rate of 25% each year, becoming zero on the fifth anniversary of your first Annuity Income Date and remaining at zero thereafter. Thus Part B becomes zero on the fifth anniversary of your first Annuity Income Date and remains zero thereafter.

SAFEKEEPING OF VARIABLE ACCOUNT ASSETS

The assets of the Variable Account are held by FILI. The assets of the Variable Account are held apart from our general account assets and any other separate accounts we may establish. We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of the shares of the Funds held by the variable Investment Options. We maintain fidelity bond coverage for the acts of our officers and employees.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS

As explained in the prospectus, the Contracts are distributed through Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC and Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc., which are affiliated with FMR LLC and FILI. The offering of the contracts is continuous, and we do not anticipate discontinuing offering the Contracts. However, we reserve the right to discontinue offering the Contracts.

STATE REGULATION

FILI is subject to regulation by the Department of Insurance of the State of Utah, which periodically examines our financial condition and operations. We are also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of all jurisdictions where we do business. The Contract described in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information has been filed with and, where required, approved by, insurance officials in those jurisdictions where it is sold.

We are required to submit annual statements of our operations, including financial statements, to the insurance departments of the various jurisdictions where we do business to determine solvency and compliance with applicable insurance laws and regulations.

LEGAL MATTERS

The legal validity of the Contracts described in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information has been passed on by David J. Pearlman, Senior Legal Counsel of Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of

Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, of stockholder's equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company (the "Company", a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR LLC) and its subsidiary at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FIDELITY INVESTMENTS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF FMR LLC)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company ("FILI"), a Utah domiciled insurance company, and Empire Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company ("EFILI"), FILI's wholly-owned insurance company subsidiary operating exclusively in the State of New York (collectively, the "Company"). FILI is a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR LLC. Prior to October 1, 2007, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. Effective October 1, 2007, FMR Corp. was merged with and into FMR LLC. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company issues variable deferred and immediate annuity contracts and variable life policies and is licensed in all states in the United States of America and the District of Columbia. Amounts invested in the fixed option of the contracts are allocated to the general account of the Company. Amounts invested in the variable option of the contracts are allocated to the Variable Annuity Accounts, which are separate accounts of the Company. Amounts invested in the variable life policies are allocated to the Variable Life Accounts, which are also separate accounts of the Company. The assets of the Variable Annuity Accounts are invested in certain portfolios of the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Funds, the Fidelity Variable Insurance Product Funds (Investor Class), the Universal Institutional Funds, the Wells Fargo Advantage Variable Trust Funds, the Credit Suisse Trust, the Lazard Retirement Series, Inc. and the Strategic Advisers, Inc. Previously, the Company offered certain portfolios in the Old Mutual Insurance Series Funds. Effective December 2008, the Old Mutual Insurance Series Funds were liquidated and closed. The assets of the Variable Life Accounts are invested in certain portfolios of the Fidelity Variable Insurance Product Funds, the Universal Institutional Funds, the Credit Suisse Trust, the Lazard Retirement Series, Inc. and the Strategic Advisers, Inc. Separate account assets are reported at the net asset value of such portfolios.

In 2004, FILI became licensed to issue group annuity contracts in all provinces of Canada. Amounts invested in these contracts are allocated to certain portfolios of the Segregated Funds Accounts, which are separate accounts of the Company. The invested assets are reported at the net asset value of such portfolios. In 2006, the Company sold the net assets and liabilities attributable to these contracts to an affiliate, Fidelity Investments Insurance Company of Canada, for approximately $1,200,000. The sale was conducted at fair value which approximated its financial statements carrying value and resulted in no gain or loss to the Company. During 2008, certain amounts payable to affiliiates of approximately $1,534,000 incurred in connection with administering the group annuity contract business was forgiven. This was recorded in Stockholder's Equity.

The Company offers a term life insurance product with level premium paying periods of five, ten, fifteen and twenty years and a fixed immediate annuity product with guaranteed income for life or period certain. Effective February 26, 2008, the five year term life insurance product was closed to new business. The Company also offers a variable universal life insurance product. Amounts invested in the variable universal life policies are allocated to the Variable Life Accounts. Effective April 1, 2008, the variable universal life product was closed to new business.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the related amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

Investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Fair values for debt securities are obtained from independent pricing sources. Debt securities that experience declines in fair value that are other than temporary are considered impaired and are written down to fair value with a corresponding charge to net income. Factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is other than temporary are whether the decline is substantial, the duration in which the market value has been less than cost, the Company's ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the anticipated recovery in value, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Unrealized gains or losses on debt securities are reported as a component of other comprehensive income, net of income taxes. The discount or premium on debt securities, excluding loan-backed bonds and structured securities, is amortized using the effective interest method. Such amortization is included in investment income. Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed and structured securities are obtained from broker-dealer survey values. Amortization of loan-backed bonds and structured securities includes anticipated prepayments over the estimated economic life of the security. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments and any resulting adjustment is included in investment income.

(A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF FMR LLC)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

Investment income is recognized on the accrual basis. Debt securities that are delinquent are placed on a non-accrual status, and thereafter interest income is recognized only when cash payments are received. Realized gains or losses on investments sold are determined by the specific identification method.

The Company's interests in the Segregated Funds were accounted for as equity securities based on the characteristics and features of the underlying mutual fund investments in the Segregated Funds Accounts. The Company's interests are reported at fair value based on the net asset value of such underlying mutual fund portfolios. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive income. As discussed in Note 1, the Company sold its interests in the Segregated Funds during 2006.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of amounts in demand deposit accounts, money market mutual funds, and a Canadian treasury bill and are reported at cost which approximates fair value. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $0 and $1,407,000, respectively in a Canadian Treasury Bill. These funds were required to be vested in trust under the applicable laws and regulations for a foreign company operating a branch in Canada and are classified as restricted cash equivalents. During 2008, the remaining funds held in trust were released. See Note 1 for the sale of the Company's interest in the canadian business. Money market mutual funds used to hold cash prior to reinvestment and to meet operating cash requirements were $232,774,000 and $37,609,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Separate Accounts

Separate account assets represent funds held for the exclusive benefit of variable annuity and variable life insurance contractholders and are reported at fair value based on the net asset value of such underlying mutual fund portfolios. Since the contractholders receive the full benefit and bear the full risk of the separate account investments, which are comprised of mutual funds, the income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from such investments are offset by an increase or decrease in the amount of liabilities related to the separate account.

Revenue Recognition

Fees charged to contractholders include mortality and expense risk, and administrative charges for variable annuity and life contractholders and also include the cost of providing insurance protection for variable life contractholders. Fund administration fees represent administrative fees charged to investment managers. Fees charged to contractholders and fund administration fees are recognized ratably throughout the year as a percentage of the related separate account assets. Premiums for term life insurance products are recognized as revenues over the premium-paying period. Interest accretion on the reinsurance deposit related to the fixed income annuity product and the fixed portion of the variable income annuity product is recognized over the remaining term of the underlying contracts.

Future Contract and Policy Benefits

Future contract and policy benefits include liabilities for the fixed portion of the variable annuity products, the guaranteed minimum death benefit ("GMDB") and the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit features ("GMWB") (see Note 3 - Guaranteed Benefits under Statement of Position 03-01) on certain variable annuity product, the life contingent fixed income annuity product and life products. Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force, taking into consideration the future premiums and assessments. The Company issues a GMWB product that guarantees payments over the lifetime of the contractholder. Reserves for these lifetime benefits are calculated as required by SOP 03-1.

Future contract benefits for the variable and fixed annuity products are computed using pricing interest rates and estimates for mortality. The liabilities for future policy benefits for traditional life insurance products are computed using the net level premium reserve method and are based upon estimates as to future investment yield, mortality and withdrawals that include provisions for adverse deviation.

Contractholder Deposit Funds

Contractholder deposit funds consist of annuity deposits received from customers for the fixed income annuity product with no life contingencies and for policies issued in 2003 and prior, and the fixed portion of the variable income annuity product with insignificant amounts of life contingent benefits. Liabilities are equal to the accumulated policy values, which consists of an accumulation of deposit payments plus credited interest, less withdrawals and amounts assessed through the end of the period.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

Reinsurance Deposit and Receivables

The Company reinsures certain of its life insurance and annuity product risk with other companies. As a result, when the Company records liabilities that are subject to reinsurance, reinsurance deposits and receivables are recorded. The Company remains contingently liable for claims reinsured in the event the reinsurer is unable to meets its obligations. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Costs that vary with and are primarily associated with acquiring new and renewal business have been deferred. The costs consist principally of first-year commissions paid to Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc in accordance with contractual agreements as described in Note 8 - Affiliated Company Transactions, and certain insurance expenses for traditional life policy issuance and underwriting. These deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") are being amortized over the lifetime of the policy generally estimated as the level term period for the term insurance product, a 20-year period for the deferred annuity products (except 30 years for the GMWB product), and a 30-year period for the variable immediate annuity product.

The amortization process requires the use of various assumptions, estimates and judgments about the future. The primary assumptions are expenses, investment performance, mortality, and contract cancellations (i.e. lapses, withdrawals, internal replacements and surrenders). These assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and are generally based on the Company's past experience, industry studies, and judgments about the future. Finally, analyses are performed periodically to assess whether there are sufficient gross margin or gross profits to amortize the remaining DAC balances.

A significant assumption for the projection of estimated gross profits is the investment return on Separate Account fund balances. The Company assumes a long term return of 7.5% before fund expenses and other charges. The Company also applies a "Reversion to the Mean" assumption in setting the projected return for the next seven years. The projected return is developed such that the combination of actual and projected return equals the long term return. The Company limits the projected return to no greater than 11.5% (before fund expenses and other charges) and no less than approximately 5% (before fund expenses and other charges). Prior to 2008, the long term return assumption was 9.0% before fund expenses and other charges; and the projected return was limited to no greater than 13.0% (before fund expenses and other charges) and no less than approximately 5% (before fund expenses and other charges).

During 2008, the Company reduced its long term projected investment returns on separate account fund balances after performing additional analysis which indicated a shift in the asset mix from 2007 (73% equities, 12% bonds, 15% cash) to 2008 (63% equities, 14% bonds, 23% cash) as well as a decrease in the weighted average return based on Ibbotson data. The reduction in the maximum projected return was also based on Ibbotson data and resulted in a reduction of about 1.5% from the prior level.

In September 2005, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 05-1, "Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs ("DAC") in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts" ("SOP 05-1"). SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for DAC on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts. An internal replacement is a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. Modifications that result in a replacement contract that is substantially changed from the replaced contract should be accounted for as an extinguishment of the replaced contract. Unamortized DAC, unearned revenue liabilities and deferred sales inducements from the replaced contract must be written-off. Modifications that result in a contract that is substantially unchanged from the replaced contract should be accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

The Company early adopted SOP 05-1 effective January 1, 2005. The Company defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract, by amendment, endorsement or rider to the contract. Contract modifications resulting in a replacement contract that is substantially changed from the replaced contract is accounted for as an extinguishment of the replaced contract and any unamortized deferred acquisition costs are written off. Adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

During 2008, the Company trued-up for actual internal replacement performance as well as unlocked our future internal replacement assumptions based on actual experience.

DAC for certain products is adjusted for the impact of unrealized gains and losses on investments as if the gains and losses have been realized with a corresponding credit or charge to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes.

Property and Equipment

Property, equipment, leasehold improvements and computer software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation or amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 years to 10 years.

Software includes certain costs incurred for purchasing and developing software for internal use and is amortized over estimated useful lives, generally three years.

The Company accounts for certain capitalized software under the provisions of Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use", which requires certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software to be capitalized. Capitalized software development costs of $15,867,000 and $19,560,000 are recorded in property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, in the Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Depreciation expense on these capitalized software development costs were $4,217,000 and $1,397,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiary, EFILI. Under a tax sharing agreement, each company is charged or credited its share of taxes as determined on a separate company basis. Tax benefits are credited with respect to taxable losses to the extent such losses are utilized by the consolidated group. Intercompany tax balances are settled within 30 days of the actual tax payment.

The liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the current enacted tax rates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The results of operations for the Company's branch denominated in Canadian dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period; assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates at the end of each period. Translation gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. As discussed in Note 1, the Company sold its interests in certain group annuity contracts issued in Canada during 2006.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between participants (an exit price). The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources ("observable inputs") and a reporting entity's internal assumptions based on the best information available when the external market data is limited or unavailable ("unobservable inputs"). In addition, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels ("Level 1, 2, and 3"). The Company adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 had no impact on the financial assets and financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value. See Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding fair value.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP FAS 157-2") which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. As a result of the issuance of FSP FAS 157-2, the Company did not apply the provisions of SFAS 157 to the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities within the scope of FSP FAS 157-2.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159"). This statement allows companies to make an election on an individual instrument basis to report selected financial assets and liabilities, including rights and obligations under certain insurance contracts that are not financial instruments, at fair value. Companies shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected in net income. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument, is irrevocable, and is applied to the entire instrument. SFAS No. 159 was effective for fiscal years after November 15, 2007. The effect of the first re-measurement to fair value is recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company has elected not to choose the fair value option for any of the Company's financial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2008.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). This guidance clarifies what criteria must be met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit of a position taken in a tax return. Companies can recognize the benefit of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained by the tax authorities. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 (See Note 6 - Income Taxes). The adoption of this interpretation had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

On February 16, 2006, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" ("SFAS 155"), which amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") and SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS 140"). SFAS 155 (1) permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, (2) clarifies which interest-only 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. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. At adoption, the fair value election may also be applied to hybrid financial instruments that have been bifurcated under SFAS 133 prior to adoption of this statement. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("SFAS No. 154"). SFAS No. 154 requires the retrospective application of changes in accounting principles to prior period's financial statements. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles made after December 15, 2005, and for the limited instance when a new accounting pronouncement does not provide transition provisions. Adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

During 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 115-1 and FAS 124-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments and its Application to Certain Investments" ("FSP 115-1"). FSP 115-1 provides a model for determining whether to record impairment losses associated with investments in certain equity and debt securities and references other existing accounting guidance. FSP 115-1 also carries forward the disclosure requirements of EITF 03-01, "The Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments" relating to securities in an unrealized loss position. This guidance also requires income to be accrued on a level-yield basis following an impairment of debt securities. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2006. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

3. GUARANTEED BENEFITS UNDER STATEMENT OF POSITION 03-01:

In July 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 03-01, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts" ("SOP 03-01"). SOP 03-01 provides guidance on accounting and reporting by insurance enterprises for certain nontraditional long-duration contracts and separate accounts. Reporting and measuring the Company's interest in its separate accounts as general account assets are based on the insurer's proportionate beneficial interest in the separate account's underlying assets. SOP 03-1 requires the establishment of a liability for contracts that contain death or other insurance benefits using a specified reserve methodology.

Certain of the variable annuity contracts issued by the Company offer guaranteed minimum death or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits. Reserves for these benefits are accounted for under SOP 03-1 as the benefits settle only upon an insurable event, such as death or are life contingent.

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits

The Company has certain variable annuity contracts with a GMDB feature. The GMDB feature provides annuity contract holders with a default guarantee that the benefit received at death will be no less than a prescribed minimum amount. Upon death of the annuitant prior to age 85, the death benefit is the greater of the contract value and total premiums, adjusted for withdrawals. For an additional charge, the death benefit is the greater of the default guaranteed death benefit and the highest contract value as of any prior anniversary, prior to age 80, adjusted for any additional payments or withdrawals. The optional rider is no longer offered to new customers, effective January 1, 2003. If the GMDB is higher than the current account value at the time of death, the Company incurs a cost equal to the difference. The Company's current variable annuity contract does not offer a GMDB feature.

The following summarizes the liability for GMDB contracts reflected in the general account (in thousands):

The reinsurance recoverables associated with GMDB were $20,000,000 and $5,137,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The following information relates to the reserving methodology and assumptions for developing the GMDB policy benefit liability.

  • The projection model uses 100 pairs of stochastically generated market return scenarios for equity and bond returns.
  • The mean investment performance assumptions, prior to the consideration of mortality and expense fees, vary from 3.8%-11% depending on the underlying fund type.
  • The projection model employs a mean reversion algorithm that looks back to the later of the original issue date or 1997 and compares historical fund returns to the Company's long term estimate.
  • The volatility assumption is 20% for equity funds; 8.7% for bond funds; and 0% for money market funds.
  • The mortality assumption is 65% of the 1994 Variable Annuity MGDB Mortality Table.
  • The base lapse rate and partial withdrawal assumptions vary from 2%-7% and 1%-3%, respectively, depending on contract type and policy duration.
  • The lapse rates for anticipated internal replacements vary from 3.0% to 9.5% depending on calendar year.
  • The discount rate is 6.83%.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefits

The Company has a variable annuity contract with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit feature. The GMWB feature provides annuity contract holders with income payments that are guaranteed for life. The withdrawal feature allows for guaranteed withdrawals beginning with age 59½ for the life of the contractholder based on a preset withdrawal percentage as defined in the contract. The contractholder is eligible to take the withdrawal benefit each year until there is no longer any living annuitant. In addition, the contract has a ratchet feature where the withdrawal value is increased to the greater of the contract value or withdrawal value on each anniversary. If the contract value is below the withdrawal value, the withdrawal value will not change.

The Company evaluates declines in fair values below cost for its investments. Based on the Company's review of the issuers' continued compliance with the securities' obligations in accordance with their contractual terms, management's intent and ability to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value, as well as the evaluation of the fundamentals of the issuers' financial condition and other objective evidence, the Company believes that declines in the fair value of the securities above were temporary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The majority of the securities are investment grade fixed maturities with fair values at or greater than 95% of amortized cost at December 31, 2008. The decline in market value was primarily the result of an increase in interest rates from the securities purchase date. Investments in below investment grade securities comprised approximately 5% of the total portfolio as of December 31, 2008. Unrealized losses on below investment grade securities were driven principally by changes in market yields as credit spreads widend due to the lack of liquidity in the financial markets.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

In accordance with SFAS 157, the Company categorizes the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets based upon SFAS 157's three-level valuation hierarchy. The Company carries the following financial instruments at fair value in the Company's financial statements: fixed maturities, short-term investments such as money market funds, and separate account assets. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable valuation inputs (level 3). If the inputs used to measure a financial asset or liability cross different levels of the hierarchy, categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the overall fair value measurement of a financial asset or liability requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The three levels are described below:

  • Level 1 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market
  • Level 2 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
  • Level 3 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable in the market and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management's judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are based on the best available information, some of which is internally developed.

The majority of the Company's available-for-sale debt securities use Level 2 inputs for the determination of fair value. These fair values are obtained primarily from industry-standard pricing methodologies based on market observable information. While the Company obtains values for the debt securities it holds from independent pricing services, it is ultimately management's responsibility to determine whether the value obtained and recorded to the financial statements are representative of fair value. Certain structured securities valued using industry-standard pricing methodologies utilize significant unobservable inputs to estimate fair value, resulting in the fair value measurements being classified as Level 3.

Separate account assets are invested in mutual funds whose value is based on the underlying net asset value of these funds. Open ended mutual funds in the Separate Account produce a daily NAV that is validated with a sufficient level of observable activity to support classification of the fair value measurement as Level 1.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Reinsurance Deposit and Receivables

Fair values for the Company's reinsurance deposits for the fixed portion of the variable annuities contracts in payout and the fixed immediate annuity contracts are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based on expected current offering interest rates versus contract rates.

Future Contract and Policy Benefits and Contractholder Deposit Funds

Fair values for the Company's liabilities for the fixed portion of the variable annuities contracts in payout and the fixed immediate annuity contracts are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based on expected current offering interest rates versus contract rates.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED):

Policy Loans

Policy loans are carried at outstanding principal balances, not in excess of policy cash surrender value. These loans are an integral part of the insurance products and have no maturity dates. Consequently, the outstanding principal balance is considered to be a reasonable estimate of the fair value of policy loans.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Life insurance corporations in New York remain subject to a franchise tax. However, for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2003, in no event may the franchise tax on life insurance corporations, computed prior to the application of tax credits, be less than 1.5% of premiums or more than 2.0% of premiums. Accordingly, state deferred taxes are no longer recorded for EFILI, as EFILI believes that the reversal of temporary differences will have no impact on the state income tax that EFILI will pay in the future. State deferred taxes are recorded for FILI for the impact of its reversing temporary differences on its future state income tax liability.

FIN 48

The Company was required to adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 only allows the recognition of these tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As a result, the Company applies a more-likely-than not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties.

Currently, the Company only files income tax returns in the United States. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or local tax examinations for years before 2004. The Company is currently under review by the State of New York for tax years 2005 and 2006. The Company is not currently under examination for the income tax filings in any other jurisdictions. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48. In addition, the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48.

6. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED):

In its Revenue Ruling 2007-61, issued on September 25, 2007, the IRS announced its intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the dividends received deduction ("DRD") on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity contracts. Revenue Ruling 2007-61 suspended a revenue ruling issued in August 2007 that proposes to change accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the status governing these computational questions. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other members of the public will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations. As a result, the ultimate timing and substance of any regulations are unknown, but they could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company receives. Management believes that it is highly likely that any such regulations would apply prospectively only. The Company has recorded benefits of $4,514,000, $11,511,000 and $6,889,000, respectively, related to the separate account DRD.

The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

7. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS:

Generally, the net assets of the Company available for payment as dividends to FMR LLC are limited to the excess of FILI's net assets, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices, over minimum statutory capital requirements; however, payments of such amounts as dividends may be subject to approval by regulatory authorities. Under the Insurance Code of the State of Utah, dividends to shareholders are limited to the lesser of the Company's net gain from operations for the year ended on the preceding December 31, or 10% of the Company's surplus held for policyholders as of the preceding December 31. No dividends have been paid or declared during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the applicable state insurance department which vary with GAAP in certain respects. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, as well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. The principal differences with GAAP are that statutory financial statements do not reflect DAC; deferred income taxes are limited; bonds are generally carried at amortized cost; insurance liabilities are presented net of reinsurance assets; a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary is reported at statutory equity and future policy benefit liabilities are estimated using different actuarial assumptions. The Company does not rely on the use of any permitted statutory accounting practices.

Net income and capital stock and surplus as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices were as follows:

8. AFFILIATED COMPANY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company's insurance contracts are distributed through Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC, Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc. ("FIA"), and Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company, Inc., all of which are affiliated with FMR LLC. FILI and EFILI have agreements with FIA under which FILI pays FIA renewal sales compensation of 0.10% of the annuity contract value each year. EFILI pays FIA sales compensation of 3% of annuity payments received for its variable deferred and immediate annuity contracts. The Company pays FIA 37.5% of term life insurance first-year premiums. The Company also pays FIA 2.5% of the annuity payments received for its fixed immediate annuity. The Company compensated FIA in the amount of $24,558,000, $30,910,000 and $26,447,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company has an administrative services agreement with FIA whereby the Company provides certain administrative and accounting functions. The Company received $6,065,000, $6,078,000 and $5,761,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for such services. The reimbursements are accounted for as a direct reduction of the Company's expenses. Effective October 1, 2006, and January 1, 2007, FILI and EFILI, respectively, entered into agreements with Pyramis Global Advisors Trust Company ("Pyramis") to provide investment and managerial advice. The Company incurred charges of $948,000, $1,068,000, and $224,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for such services. Previously, the Company had an investment management agreement with Fidelity Management Trust Company ("FMTC") to provide investment and managerial advice. The Company paid FMTC $898,000 in 2006, for such services.

The Company has an administrative services agreement with FMR LLC and its subsidiaries whereby certain administrative and special services are provided for the Company. The Company paid FMR LLC and its subsidiaries $32,202,000, $36,175,000 and $27,182,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for such services.

FMR LLC maintains a noncontributory trusteed defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all eligible Company employees. The benefits earned are based on years of service and the employees' compensation during the last five years of employment. FMR LLC's policy for the plan is to fund the maximum amount deductible for income tax purposes, and to charge each subsidiary for its share of such contributions. Effective May 1, 2007, FMR LLC terminated the defined benefit pension plan. Pension costs of $0, $230,000 and $1,032,000 were charged to the Company in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

FMR LLC sponsors a trusteed Profit-Sharing Plan and a contributory 401(k) Thrift Plan covering substantially all eligible Company employees. Payments are made to the trustee by FMR LLC annually for the Profit-Sharing Plan and monthly for the 401(k) Thrift Plan. FMR LLC's policy is to fund all costs accrued and to charge each subsidiary for its share of the cost. The cost charged to the Company for these plans amounted to $3,403,000, $2,892,000 and $2,418,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company participates in various FMR LLC stock-based compensatory plans. The compensation is based on the change in the net asset value of FMR LLC common stock, as defined. The aggregate expenses related to these plans charged to the Company were $4,706,000, $5,650,000 and $4,350,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Effective February 28, 2009, FILI issued a $200,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit to its parent, FMR LLC. The revolving line of credit agreement was approved by the Utah Insurance Department and matures February 27, 2010 but may be extended for successive one year periods by mutual agreement of the parties, subject to the prior approval of the Utah Insurance Department. Under the terms of the agreement, FILI receives a facility fee of 0.10% per year based on the unused amounts of the line of credit. In addition, FILI receives annual interest on any advances made under the agreement at LIBOR (based on Bloomberg quotations) plus a 0.75% spread. There were no amounts advanced by FILI under the line of credit agreement as of March 31, 2009.

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs is adjusted periodically as estimates of future gross profits are revised to reflect actual experience. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company increased amortization by $4,007,000, $4,397,000 and $1,594,000, respectively, to reflect actual experience for investment performance, persistency (including internal replacements) and inflation assumptions. This adjustment has been reflected in amortization expense.

10. REINSURANCE:

The Company retains a maximum coverage per individual life of $25,000 plus 30% of the excess over $25,000 with a maximum initial retention not to exceed $100,000 for its life insurance business issued before March 1, 2008. The Company retains a flat $100,000 per individual life for its life business issued on and after March 1, 2008. The Company reinsures certain guarantee provisions and mortality on its annuity contracts and portions of annuity income that are fixed. The Company reinsures substantially all of its GMDB provisions for business issued prior to July 1, 2003 with various reinsurers. The Company reinsures all of its GMWB provisions with a reinsurer.

The Company has entered into 100% coinsurance agreements for its fixed guaranteed income annuity product and for the fixed portion of the variable income annuity product with two highly rated reinsurers (rated A or better by Moody's statistical rating agency at December 31, 2008). The Company is subject to concentration of risk with respect to these reinsurance agreements. The receivable from each reinsurer is accounted for as a deposit asset and is recorded in reinsurance deposit and receivables, while the liability related to the underlying annuity contracts is accounted for as a deposit liability and is recorded in contractholder deposit funds. Under these reinsurance agreements, the Company received a front end ceding expense allowance of 2.5% of premiums and an annual allowance of a percentage of assets ranging from 0.12% to 0.60%. For new polices issued after May 1, 2006, the front end ceding expense was 2.8% and the annual allowance of a percentage of assets ranged from 0.12% to 0.30%. Revenue from the reinsurance agreements and benefit expense from the underlying annuity contracts is recognized over the lives of the underlying contracts.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal actions concerning policy benefits and certain other matters. Those actions are considered by the Company in estimating policy reserves and other liabilities. The Company believes that the resolution of those actions should not have a material adverse effect on stockholder's equity or net income.

Regulatory Matters

Under existing guaranty fund laws in all states, insurers licensed to do business in those states can be assessed for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants. The actual amount of such assessments will depend upon the final outcome of rehabilitation proceedings and will be paid over several years.

Fidelity Investments Variable Annuity Account I

1. Organization

Fidelity Investments Variable Annuity Account I (the "Account"), a unit investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended, was established by Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company ("FILI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR LLC, on July 22, 1987 and exists in accordance with the regulations of the State of Utah Insurance Department. Prior to October 1, 2007, FILI was a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. Effective October 1, 2007, FMR Corp. was merged with and into FMR LLC. The Account is a funding vehicle of individual Fidelity Retirement Reserves, Fidelity Personal Retirement, Fidelity Growth and Guaranteed Income, Fidelity Income Advantage and Fidelity Freedom Lifetime Income variable annuity contracts. The Fidelity Growth and Guaranteed Income variable annuity contracts, which offer a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, began funding the Account in 2007. Effective March 31, 2009, Fidelity Growth and Guaranteed Income was closed to new business. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of FILI. The Account cannot be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business of FILI.

Each subaccount invests exclusively in one of the Funds ("Underlying Funds") that are part of the following fund groups:

Fund Groups

Fidelity Variable Insurance Product Funds ("VIP")

Fidelity Variable Insurance Product Funds (Investor Class) ("VIP Investor Class")

The Universal Institutional Funds ("UIF")

Old Mutual Insurance Series Funds ("OMIF")

Wells Fargo Advantage Variable Trust Funds ("WFAF")

Credit Suisse Trust ("CST")

Lazard Retirement Series, Inc. ("Lazard")

Fidelity Strategic Advisers, Inc. ("SAI")

Effective December 15, 2008, all funds within the OMIF fund group were liquidated and closed. Any policyholders with shares in the OMIF were transferred to the VIP-Money Market Fund as part of the fund liquidations.

During 2008, the following Underlying Funds were added and commenced operations on May 1, 2008:

VIP - Emerging Markets

VIP - Emerging Markets Investor Class

During 2007, the Fidelity Strategic Advisers funds were added as a fund group. In addition, the following Underlying Funds were added:

VIP - FundsManager 60%

VIP - Consumer Staples

VIP - Consumer Staples Investor Class

VIP - Materials

VIP - Materials Investor Class

VIP - Telecommunications

VIP - Telecommunications Investor Class

SAI - Mid Cap Value

SAI - Mid Cap Value Investor Class

SAI - Small Cap Blend

SAI - Small Cap Blend Investor Class

All the underlying funds, with the exception of the VIP - FundsManager 60% fund, commenced operations on May 1, 2007. The VIP - FundsManager 60% fund commenced operations on September 4, 2007.

As of December 31, 2008, the net assets and units of Fidelity Retirement Reserve contracts that have annuitized were $72,629,000 and $4,131,000 respectively. Previously, the net assets and units of Fidelity Retirement Reserve contracts that had annuitized were reported with Fidelity Income Advantage. Certain prior year balances associated with contracts that have annuitized have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

Fidelity Investments Variable Annuity Account I

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Account in preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Investments

Investments are made by the subaccounts in their corresponding mutual fund portfolios and are valued at the reported net asset values of such portfolios. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income from dividends is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses include gains and losses on the sales of investments (computed on the basis of the identified cost of the investment sold) and capital gain distributions from the mutual funds.

Reserves

The reserve for variable annuity contracts in the accumulation period is the fund value. The reserve for variable payout annuity contracts is based on the 1983 Basic or 1983a Individual Annuitant Mortality Table and an assumed investment return. The assumed investment return is determined prior to the commencement of payments and may vary from 3.5% to 7%, as regulated by the laws of the respective states. The mortality risk is fully borne by FILI and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Account by FILI.

Receivable from/Payable to FILI

Receivable from/payable to FILI represents adjustments for contract guarantees which are the responsibility of FILI.

Federal Income Taxes

The operations of the Account are included in the federal income tax return of FILI, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code").

Under the current provisions of the Code, FILI does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited under the contracts. FILI incurs federal income taxes on the difference between the financial statement carrying value of reserves for contracts in the income stage and those reserves held for federal income tax purposes. The tax effect of this temporary difference is expected to be recovered by FILI when the difference reverses. As such, no charge is being made currently to the Account for federal income taxes. FILI will review periodically the status of such decision based on changes in the tax law. Such a charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts.

Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code, a variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of the Code. FILI believes that the Separate Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and it intends that it will continue to meet such requirements.

Estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the related amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The new definition of fair value focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability regardless of whether an observable market price existed (an exit price). In addition, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels ("Level 1, 2, and 3"). The Account adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. Adoption of SFAS 157 had no impact on any financial assets and financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value.

Fidelity Investments Variable Annuity Account I

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements - continued

The Account carries investments which are made by the subaccounts in their corresponding mutual funds at fair value in the financial statements. The mutual funds are valued at the reported net asset values of such portfolios. The Account categorized the financial assets carried at fair value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities based upon SFAS 157's three-level valuation hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable valuation inputs (level 3). If the inputs used to measure a financial asset or liability cross different levels of the hierarchy, categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the overall fair value measurement of a financial asset or liability requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The three levels are described below:

· Level 1 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market (e.g., active exchange-traded equities).

· Level 2 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

· Level 3 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable in the market and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect judgments about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are based on the best available information, some of which is internally developed.

All subaccounts are invested in mutual funds whose value is based on the underlying net asset value of those funds. Open ended mutual funds in the subaccounts produce a daily NAV that is validated with a sufficient level of observable activity to support classification of the fair value measurement as Level 1.

3. Expenses and Related Party Transactions

FILI deducts a daily charge, through a reduction in unit values, from the net assets of the Account for the assumption of mortality and expense risks and for administrative charges. FILI also deducts an annual maintenance charge, through a redemption of units, for the Fidelity Retirement Reserves. The maintenance charge, which is waived on certain contracts, is recorded as a contract transaction in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

FILI previously offered Fidelity Retirement Reserves contract holders the opportunity to elect a death benefit rider. The rider allowed the contract holder to lock in their death benefit at the highest contract value at any contract anniversary date before the annuitant reached age 80. Effective January 1, 2003, the rider was no longer available to new contracts. For those contract holders who had elected the rider, FILI continues to deduct a quarterly charge, through a redemption of units. There will be no charges made once the annuitants reach their 85th birthday. The death benefit rider is recorded as a contract transaction in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

The annual rates of mortality and expense risk fees, administrative expense fees, death benefit fees, and the maximum dollar amount of the contract fee for the year ended are displayed in the table below.

FILI collects these fees on behalf of these VIP portfolios through a redemption of units, but the fees are retained by the portfolios, not by FILI, and are part of the portfolios' assets. The redemption fee is recorded as a contract transaction in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

FILI charges an amount equal to the state premium taxes it pays, ranging from 0-3.5%, pursuant to provisions in the contracts it issues.

The disclosures above include charges currently assessed to the contract holder. There are certain other additional charges, such as exchange charges and other taxes, which may be assessed in accordance with the terms of the contract in future periods.

The contracts are distributed through Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC ("FBS"), Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc. ("FIA"), and Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company, Inc. ("FIIS"), all of which are affiliated with FMR LLC. FBS, FIA, and FIIS are the distributors and FBS is the principal underwriter of the contracts. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC"), an affiliate of FMR LLC, is the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the VIP portfolios.

Management fees are paid by certain funds to Fidelity Management & Research Company, an affiliate of FMR LLC, in its capacity as advisor to the VIP mutual fund portfolios. Management fees are also paid by certain funds to Fidelity Strategic Advisers Inc., an affiliate of FMR LLC, in its capacity as advisor to the SAI mutual fund portfolios. The total management fees, as a percentage of a fund's average net assets, for the year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.10% to 0.82% depending on the fund.

(1) These amounts represent annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded.

(2) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.

(3) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, which includes expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. The ratio does not include expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

(4) The unit value and total return columns labeled "Highest" correspond with the product with the lowest expense ratio. The unit value and total return columns labeled "Lowest" correspond with the product with the highest expense ratio.

Annual Report

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company and the Contractholders of Fidelity Investments Variable Annuity Account I of Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the subaccounts constituting the Fidelity Investments Variable Annuity Account I of Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2008, and the results of each of their operations and the changes in each of their net assets for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investments at December 31, 2008 by correspondence with the mutual funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners.

On March 31, 2009 there were 134 Qualified Contracts and 57 Non-qualified contracts.

Item 28. Indemnification

FMR LLC and its subsidiaries own a directors' and officers' liability reimbursement contract (the "Policies"), issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company, that provides coverage for "Loss" (as defined in the Policies) arising from any claim or claims by reason of any breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement, omission or other act done or wrongfully attempted by a person while he or she is acting in his or her capacity as a director or officer. The coverage is provided to these insureds, including Fidelity Investments Life, to the extent required or permitted by applicable law, common or statutory, or under their respective charters or by-laws, to indemnify directors or officers for Loss arising from the above-described matters. Coverage is also provided to the individual directors or officers for such Loss, for which they shall not be indemnified, subject to relevant contract exclusions. Loss is essentially the legal liability on claims against a director or officer, including damages, judgements, settlements, costs, charges and expenses (excluding salaries of officers or employees) incurred in the defense of actions, suits or proceedings and appeals therefrom.

There are a number of exclusions from coverage. Among the matters excluded are Losses arising as the result of (1) fines or penalties imposed by law or other matters that may be deemed uninsurable under the law pursuant to which the Policy is construed, (2) claims brought about or contributed to by the fraudulent, dishonest, or criminal acts of a director or officer, (3) any claim made against the directors or officers for violation of any of the responsibilities, obligations, or duties imposed upon fiduciaries by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or amendments thereto, (4) professional errors or omissions, and (5) claims for an accounting of profits in fact made from the purchase or sale by a director or officer of any securities of the insured corporations within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any state statutory law.

A $100 million limit (policy aggregate limit) and a $500,000 deductible apply to Loss for which the directors and officers are indemnified by Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company. A $10 million limit (policy aggregate) and a $0 deductible apply to Loss for which the directors and officers are not indemnified by Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company.

Utah law (Revised Business Corporation Act §16-10a-901 et seq.) provides, in substance, that a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent against liability if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The Text of Article XIV of Fidelity's By-Laws, which relates to indemnification of the directors and officers, is as follows:

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND PERSONS

ADMINISTERING EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Each officer or Director or former officer or Director of the Corporation, and each person who shall, at the Corporation's request, have served as an officer or director of another corporation or as trustee, partner or officer of a trust, partnership or association, and each person who shall, at the Corporation's request, have served in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan, whether or not then in office then serving with respect to such employee benefit plan, and the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of each of them, shall be indemnified by the Corporation against all satisfaction of judgements, in compromise and or as fines or penalties and fees and disbursement of counsel, imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or them in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding, by reason of his being or having been such officer, trustee, partner or director, or by reason of any alleged act or omission by him in such capacity or in serving with respect to an employee benefit plan, including the cost of reasonable settlements (other than amounts paid to the Corporation itself) made with a view to curtailment of costs of litigation.

The Corporation shall not, however, indemnify any such person, or his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, or assigns, with respect to any matter as to which his conduct shall be finally adjudged in any such action, suit, or proceedings to constitute willful misconduct or recklessness or to the extent that such matter relates to service with respect to any employee benefit plan, to not be in the best interest of the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan.

Such indemnification may include payment by the Corporation of expenses incurred in defending any such action, suit, or proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person indemnified to repay such payment if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such undertaking may be accepted by the corporation without reference to the financial ability of such person to make repayment.

The foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be exclusive of other rights to which any such director, officer, trustee, partner or person serving with respect to an employee benefit plan may be entitled as a matter of law. These indemnity provisions shall be separable, and if any portion thereof shall be finally adjudged to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other portion which can be given effect.

The Board of Directors may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any persons who is or was a Director, officer, trustee, partner, employee or other agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, partner, employee or other agent of another corporation, association, trust or partnership, against any liability incurred by him in any such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer, or controlling persons 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 its is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
