This prospectus describes an individual flexible purchase payment variable deferred annuity contract (Contract) issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life, we, us, our). The Contract is a "flexible purchase payment" contract because you (the Owner) can make more than one Purchase Payment, subject to certain restrictions. The Contract is "variable" because the Contract Value and any variable Annuity Payments you receive will increase or decrease depending on the performance of the Investment Options you select (in this prospectus, the term "Investment Options" refers only to the variable Investment Choices listed on the following page, and not to any fixed Investment Choices). The Contract is "deferred" because you do not have to begin receiving regular Annuity Payments immediately. Additional information about the Separate Account has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is available upon written or oral request without charge. A Statement of Additional Information (SAI) dated the same date as this prospectus includes additional information about the annuity offered by this prospectus. The SAI is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. The SAI is filed with the SEC and is available without charge by contacting us at the telephone number or address listed at the back of this prospectus. The table of contents of the SAI appears before the Privacy and Security Statement in this prospectus. The SEC also maintains a website (http://www.sec.gov). The prospectus, the SAI and other information about the Contract are available on the EDGAR database on the SEC's website. Please read this prospectus before investing and keep it for future reference. It contains important information about your annuity and Allianz Life that you ought to know before investing. This prospectus is not an offering in any state, country, or jurisdiction in which we are not authorized to sell the Contracts. You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. THE SEC HAS NOT APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. AN INVESTMENT IN THIS CONTRACT IS NOT A DEPOSIT OF A BANK OR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION AND IS NOT FEDERALLY INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY.

Dated: May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 This prospectus offers two versions of the same Contract. The product features and expenses of the Original Contract and the February 2007 Contract differ in certain respects as set out in this prospectus. The Original Contract first became available on September 20, 2002 and was replaced in all states except Washington by the February 2007 Contract. Only one version of the Contract is offered in each state. This prospectus is written according to the features of the February 2007 Contract that is currently offered for sale in all states except Washington. However, the Original Contract is still available in the state of Washington and Owners who previously purchased an Original Contract can still make additional Purchase Payments. Therefore, we are including information on the different product features and expenses for the Original Contract in Appendix F of this prospectus. Information regarding the product features and expenses of the May 2005 Contract that is no longer offered can be found in the SAI. We currently offer the Investment Options listed on the following page. You can invest in up to 15 Investment Options at any one time. Currently, the only fixed Investment Choices we offer under our general account are the Fixed Period Accounts (FPAs). You can only allocate up to 50% of any Purchase Payment to the FPAs. However, if your Contract includes the Living Guarantees we will make transfers to and from the FPAs to support these guarantees and we may transfer more than 50% of the total Purchase Payments to the FPAs beginning on the second Contract Anniversary. One or more of the Investment Choices may not be available in your state. We may add, substitute or remove Investment Choices in the future. CONTRACTS WITH THE GUARANTEED ACCOUNT VALUE (GAV) BENEFIT ARE SUBJECT TO SYSTEMATIC TRANSFERS BETWEEN YOUR SELECTED INVESTMENT OPTIONS AND THE FPAS. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO FULLY PARTICIPATE IN ANY UPSIDE POTENTIAL RETURNS AVAILABLE FROM THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS AND YOUR CONTRACT VALUE MAY POTENTIALLY BE LESS THAN THE CONTRACT VALUE YOU WOULD HAVE HAD WITHOUT THE GAV BENEFIT. TRANSFERS OUT OF THE FPAS MAY BE SUBJECT TO A MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT THAT MAY INCREASE OR DECREASE YOUR CONTRACT VALUE AND/OR THE AMOUNT OF THE TRANSFER. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIM AZL(R) AIM International Equity Fund BLACKROCK AZL(R) Money Market Fund BlackRock Global Allocation V.I.

For more information, see section 7, Expenses. The first tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay if you take a withdrawal from the Contract during the Accumulation Phase, or if you make transfers. CONTRACT OWNER TRANSACTION EXPENSES(1) WITHDRAWAL CHARGE DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE(2),(3) (as a percentage of each Purchase Payment withdrawn) NUMBER OF COMPLETE YEARS SINCE WE RECEIVED YOUR PURCHASE PAYMENT CHARGE 0 8% 1 8%(4) 2 7% 3 6% 4 5% 5 4% 6 3% 7 years or more 0% TRANSFER FEE(5)............................................$25 PREMIUM TAXES(6)....................................0% to 3.5% (as a percentage of each Purchase Payment) (1) Amounts withdrawn or transferred out of a FPA may be subject to an MVA. This MVA may increase or decrease your Contract Value and/or your transfer or withdrawal amount. For more information, please see section 5, Our General Account - Market Value Adjustment (MVA). (2) The partial withdrawal privilege for each Contract Year is equal to 12% of your total Purchase Payments, less the total amount previously withdrawn under the partial withdrawal privilege in the same Contract Year, and before any MVA. We will not deduct a withdrawal charge from amounts withdrawn under the partial withdrawal privilege, but an MVA may apply. There is no partial withdrawal privilege during the Annuity Phase. Any unused partial withdrawal privilege in one Contract Year does not carry over to the next Contract Year. For more details and additional information on other penalty-free withdrawal options, please see the discussion of the partial withdrawal privilege and other information that appears in section 9, Access to Your Money. (3) The total amount under your Contract that is subject to a withdrawal charge is the Withdrawal Charge Basis. The Withdrawal Charge Basis is equal to the total Purchase Payments, less any Purchase Payments withdrawn (excluding any penalty-free withdrawals), less any withdrawal charges. (4) 7.5% in Alabama, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah and Washington. (5) The first twelve transfers in a Contract Year are free. Dollar cost averaging transfers, flexible rebalancing transfers, and GAV Transfers do not count against any free transfers we allow. Currently, we deduct this fee only during the Accumulation Phase, but we reserve the right to deduct this fee during the Annuity Phase. For more information, please see section 7, Expenses - Transfer Fee. (6) It is our current practice not to make deductions from the Contract to reimburse ourselves for premium taxes that we pay until the earliest of: the Income Date that you take a Full Annuitization, the date of full withdrawal, or full distribution of the death benefit. We do not make deductions to reimburse ourselves for premium taxes that we pay from amounts applied to GMIB Payments. This charge varies by state. For more information, please see section 7, Expenses - Premium Taxes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 CONTRACT OWNER PERIODIC EXPENSES The next tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own your Contract, not including the Investment Options' fees and expenses. The Separate Account annual expenses include the mortality and expense risk (M&E) charges. DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE: CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE(7).............................$40 (per Contract per year) SEPARATE ACCOUNT ANNUAL EXPENSES (as a percentage of average daily assets invested in a subaccount on an annual basis) M&E CHARGES FEBRUARY 2007 CONTRACT AND ORIGINAL CONTRACT ISSUED ON OR AFTER JUNE 22, 2007 Traditional GMDB 1.25% Enhanced GMDB(8) 1.45% DURING THE ANNUITY PHASE: CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE(9).............................$40 (per Contract per year) SEPARATE ACCOUNT ANNUAL EXPENSES - IF YOU REQUEST VARIABLE TRADITIONAL ANNUITY PAYMENTS (as a percentage of average daily assets invested in a subaccount on an annual basis) M&E CHARGES(10) February 2007 Contract and Original Contract issued 1.25% on or after June 22,2007 (7) We waive the contract maintenance charge if the Contract Value is at least $75,000 at the time we are to deduct the charge. If the total Contract Value of all your Contracts that are registered with the same social security number is at least $75,000, the charge is waived on all your Contracts. For more information, please see section 7, Expenses - Contract Maintenance Charge. (8) The Enhanced GMDB may not be available in all states; check with your registered representative. For more information, please see section 11, Death Benefit. (9) We waive the contract maintenance charge during the Annuity Phase if your Contract Value on the Income Date is at least $75,000. For more information, please see section 7, Expenses - Contract Maintenance Charge. (10) Because the Contract allows Partial Annuitization, it is possible for different portions of the Contract to be in both the Accumulation and Annuity Phases at the same time. It is also possible to have different M&E charges on different portions of the Contract at the same time if you request variable Traditional Annuity Payments under a Partial Annuitization. For more information, please see section 2, The Annuity Phase - Partial Annuitization. ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS This table describes the total annual operating expenses associated with the Investment Options and shows the minimum and maximum expenses for the period ended December 31, 2007, charged by any of the Investment Options before the effect of any contractual expense reimbursement or fee waiver. We show the expenses as a percentage of an Investment Option's average daily net assets.
MINIMUM MAXIMUM Total annual Investment Option operating expenses* (including management fees, distribution or 12b-1 fees, and other expenses) before fee waivers and expense reimbursements 0.52% 1.96% * Some of the Investment Options or their affiliates may also pay service fees to us or our affiliates. The amount of these fees may be different for each Investment Option. The maximum current fee is 0.25%. The amount of these fees, if deducted from Investment Option assets, is reflected in the above table and is disclosed in Appendix A. Appendix A also contains more details regarding the annual operating expenses for each of the Investment Options, including the amount and effect of any waivers and/or reimbursements.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXAMPLES The expenses for your Contract may be different from those shown in the examples below depending upon which Investment Option(s) you select and the benefits that apply. These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in a Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract Owner periodic expenses, and the annual operating expenses of the Investment Options before the effect of reimbursements and waivers. You should not consider the examples below as a representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. The $40 contract maintenance charge is included in the examples as a charge of 0.051% of the average daily assets invested in a subaccount for the most recent calendar year based on the total charges collected under the Contract divided by the total average net assets for the Contract. Please note that this is an average and some Owners may pay more or less than the average. Transfer fees and deductions we make to reimburse ourselves for premium taxes that we pay may apply, but are not reflected in these examples. For additional information, see section 7, Expenses. If you take a full withdrawal at the end of each time period, and assuming a $10,000 investment and a 5% annual return on your money, you may pay expenses as follows. a) February 2007 Contract and Original Contract issued on or after June 22, 2007 with the Enhanced GMDB (the highest M&E charge of 1.45%). b) February 2007 Contract and Original Contract issued on or after June 22, 2007 with the Traditional GMDB (the lowest M&E charge of 1.25%).

* Traditional Annuity Payments are generally not available until after the second Contract Anniversary in most states, and GMIB Payments are not available until the fifth Contract Anniversary. See Appendix B for condensed financial information regarding the Accumulation Unit values (AUVs) for the highest and lowest M&E charges for the February 2007 Contract and Original Contract issued on or after June 22, 2007. See the appendix to the Statement of Additional Information for condensed financial information regarding the AUVs for older Contracts we no longer offer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. THE VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT An annuity is a contract between you (the Owner), and an insurance company (in this case Allianz Life), where you make payments to us and, in turn, we promise to make regular periodic income payments (Annuity Payments) to the Payee. The Contract is tax deferred. You generally are not taxed on any earnings or appreciation on the assets in your Contract until you take money out of your Contract. FOR QUALIFIED CONTRACTS, THE TAX DEFERRAL IS PROVIDED THROUGH COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIALIZED TAX-QUALIFICATION RULES, AND YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL TAX BENEFIT BY PURCHASING THE CONTRACT. HOWEVER, THE CONTRACT MAY OFFER OTHER FEATURES THAT MEET YOUR NEEDS. ACCORDINGLY, IF YOU ARE PURCHASING A QUALIFIED CONTRACT, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER PURCHASING THIS CONTRACT FOR ITS DEATH BENEFIT, ANNUITY BENEFITS AND OTHER NON-TAX DEFERRAL RELATED BENEFITS. PLEASE CONSULT A TAX ADVISER FOR INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES TO DETERMINE WHETHER A QUALIFIED CONTRACT IS AN APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT FOR YOU. The Contract has an Accumulation Phase and an Annuity Phase. You can take withdrawals from the Contract during the Accumulation Phase and, subject to certain restrictions, you can make additional Purchase Payments. The Accumulation Phase begins on the Issue Date and ends upon the earliest of the following. o The Business Day before the Income Date if you take a Full Annuitization. o The Business Day we process your request for a full withdrawal. o Upon the death of any Owner (or the Annuitant if the Contract is owned by a non-individual), it will terminate on the Business Day we receive in good order at our Service Center, both due proof of death and an election of the death benefit payment option, unless the spouse of the deceased continues the Contract. The Annuity Phase is the period during which we will make Annuity Payments from the Contract. Under all Contracts, Traditional Annuity Payments are available during the Annuity Phase. Traditional Annuity Payments must begin on a designated date (the Income Date) that is at least two years after your Issue Date. For Contracts with a GMIB, you can request fixed Annuity Payments (GMIB Payments) beginning on the fifth Contract Anniversary. If you apply the entire Contract Value to Annuity Payments, we call that a Full Annuitization, and if you apply only part of the Contract Value to Annuity Payments, we call that a Partial Annuitization.* The maximum number of annuitizations you can have at any one time is five. Because the Contract allows Partial Annuitization, it is possible for different portions of the Contract to be in both the Accumulation and Annuity Phases at the same time. The Annuity Phase begins on the Income Date (or the first Income Date if you take any Partial Annuitizations) and ends when all portion(s) of the Contract that you apply to Annuity Payments have terminated, as indicated in section 2, The Annuity Phase. * GMIB Partial Annuitizations are based on the GMIB value and are not available until the fifth Contract Anniversary and they are not available if the GMIB value is less than the Contract Value. Your Investment Choices include the Investment Options and any available general account Investment Choice. You cannot invest in more than 15 Investment Options at any one time. Depending upon market conditions, you can gain or lose value in the Contract based on the investment performance of the Investment Options. The Investment Options are designed to offer the opportunity for a better return than any available general account Investment Choice; however, this is not guaranteed. The amount of Contract Value you are able to accumulate in your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and the amount of any variable Annuity Payments we make during the Annuity Phase depends in large part upon the investment performance of any Investment Options you select. The only general account Investment Choices available during the Accumulation Phase are the Fixed Period Accounts (FPAs). You can allocate up to 50% of any Purchase Payment to the FPAs during the Accumulation Phase. However, in some states, the FPAs may only be available for GAV Transfers we make if your Contract includes the Living Guarantees. In addition, we may transfer more than 50% of the total Purchase Payments to the FPAs beginning on the second Contract Anniversary in order to support the Living Guarantees. The FPAs have Account Periods ranging from one to ten years. Only one FPA is available for Purchase Payments or transfers in each Contract Year. Amounts allocated to the FPAs earn interest that we declare periodically. If you have money invested in the FPAs, the amount of Contract Value you are able to accumulate in your Contract during the Accumulation Phase will depend in part upon the total interest credited to your Contract. Withdrawals or transfers from the FPAs may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. For more information, please see section 5, Our General Account - Market Value Adjustment (MVA). We will not make any changes to your Contract without your permission except as may be required by law. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 THE CONTRACT WILL TERMINATE WHEN: o the Accumulation Phase has terminated, o the Annuity Phase has terminated, and/or o all applicable death benefit payments have been made. STATE SPECIFIC CONTRACT RESTRICTIONS If you purchase a Contract, it will be subject to the law of the state in which it is issued. Some of the terms of your Contract may differ from the terms of a Contract delivered in another state because of state-specific legal requirements. Areas in which there may be state-specific Contract provisions may include the following. o The withdrawal charge schedule. o Availability of Investment Options, Annuity Options, DCA programs, endorsements, and/or riders. o Free look rights. o Selection of certain Income Dates. o Restrictions on your ability to make additional Purchase Payments. o Deductions we make to reimburse ourselves for premium taxes that we pay. o Selection of certain assumed investment rates for variable Annuity Payments. o Our ability to restrict transfer rights. If you would like information regarding state-specific Contract provisions, you should contact your registered representative or contact our Service Center at the toll free number listed at the back of this prospectus. OWNERSHIP OWNER You, as the Owner, have all the rights under the Contract. The Owner is designated at Contract issue. You can change Owners at any time subject to our approval. However, Qualified Contracts can only have one Owner and there may be Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other restrictions on changing the ownership of a Qualified Contract. Upon our approval, any change will become effective as of the date you sign the request. Changing ownership may be a taxable event. You should consult with your tax adviser before doing this. JOINT OWNER A Non-Qualified Contract can be owned by up to two Owners. Upon the death of either Joint Owner, the surviving Joint Owner will become the primary Beneficiary. We will then treat any other Beneficiary designation on record at the time of death as a contingent Beneficiary. You can change Joint Owners under the same conditions as described for an Owner. If a Contract has Joint Owners, we require the signature of both Owners on any forms that are submitted to our Service Center, unless we allow otherwise. NOTE FOR PARTIAL ANNUITIZATIONS: Partial Annuitizations are not available to Joint Owners. There can be only one Owner, the Owner must be the Annuitant, and we will not allow the Owner to add a joint Annuitant. ANNUITANT The Annuitant is the individual on whose life we base Annuity Payments. Subject to our approval, you designate an Annuitant and you can add a joint Annuitant for the Annuity Phase if you take a Full Annuitization. You may change the Annuitant at any time before the Income Date unless the Contract is owned by a non-individual (for example, a qualified plan or trust). You cannot change the Annuitant if the Contract is owned by a non-individual, but you can add a joint Annuitant (subject to our approval) for the Annuity Phase if you take a Full Annuitization. For Qualified Contracts, the Owner must be the Annuitant unless the Contract is owned by a qualified plan or is part of a custodial arrangement. DESIGNATING DIFFERENT PERSONS AS OWNER(S) AND ANNUITANT(S) CAN HAVE IMPORTANT IMPACTS ON WHETHER A DEATH BENEFIT IS PAID, AND ON WHO WOULD RECEIVE IT. USE CARE WHEN DESIGNATING OWNERS AND ANNUITANTS, AND CONSULT YOUR REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. PAYEE The Payee is the person or entity you designate (subject to our approval) to receive Annuity Payments during the Annuity Phase. The Owner will receive tax reporting on those payments. For Non-Qualified Contracts, an Owner or Annuitant can be the Payee, but it is not required. For Qualified Contracts owned by a qualified plan, the qualified plan must be the -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 Payee. For all other Qualified Contracts, the Owner is not required to be the Payee, but the Owner cannot transfer or assign his or her rights under the Contract to someone else. If you do not designate a Payee by the Income Date, we will make Annuity Payments to the Owner unless the Contract is a Qualified Contract owned by a qualified plan. The Owner can change the Payee at any time, subject to our approval, provided that designation of a Payee is consistent with federal and state laws and regulations. BENEFICIARY The Beneficiary is the person(s) or entity you designate at Contract issue to receive any death benefit. You can change the Beneficiary or contingent Beneficiary at any time before your death unless you name an irrevocable Beneficiary. If you do not designate a Beneficiary, any death benefit will be paid to your estate. NOTE FOR JOINT OWNERS: For jointly owned Contracts, the sole primary Beneficiary will be the surviving Joint Owner. For Contracts that are jointly owned by spouses, if both spousal Joint Owners die before we pay the death benefit, we will pay the death benefit to the contingent Beneficiaries, or to the estate of the Joint Owner who died last if there are no named contingent Beneficiaries. However, for tax reasons, if the Joint Owners were not spouses and both Joint Owners die before we pay the death benefit, we will pay the death benefit to the estate of the Joint Owner who died last. ASSIGNMENT OF A CONTRACT An authorized request specifying the terms of an assignment of a Contract must be provided to our Service Center and approved by us. We will not be liable for any payment made or action taken before we record the assignment. An assignment may be a taxable event. We will not be responsible for the validity or tax consequences of any assignment. After the death benefit has become payable, an assignment can only be made with our consent. If the Contract is assigned, your rights may only be exercised with the consent of the assignee of record. Qualified Contracts generally cannot be assigned. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. THE ANNUITY PHASE You can apply your Contract Value to regular periodic income payments (Annuity Payments). A Full Annuitization occurs when you apply the entire Contract Value to Annuity Payments. A Partial Annuitization occurs when you apply only part of your Contract Value to Annuity Payments.* The Payee will receive the Annuity Payments. You will receive tax reporting on those payments, however, whether or not you are the Payee. We may require proof of the Annuitant(s)' age before making any life contingent Annuity Payment. If the age or sex of the Annuitant(s) have been misstated, the amount payable will be the amount that would have been provided at the true age or sex. * GMIB Partial Annuitizations are based on the GMIB value and are not available until the fifth Contract Anniversary and they are not available if the GMIB value is less than the Contract Value. NOTE: YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO TAKE A FULL ANNUITIZATION OF YOUR CONTRACT ON OR BEFORE THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED INCOME DATE. At our discretion, we may extend the maximum permitted Income Date subject to the requirements of applicable law. The maximum permitted Income Date may vary depending on the broker/dealer you purchase your Contract through and your state of residence. UPON FULL ANNUITIZATION YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE A CONTRACT VALUE, ANY PERIODIC WITHDRAWAL OR INCOME PAYMENTS (OTHER THAN ANNUITY PAYMENTS) WILL STOP, AND THE DEATH BENEFIT WILL TERMINATE. IN ADDITION, IF YOUR CONTRACT INCLUDES THE LIVING GUARANTEES, THE FPAS AND THE GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE TO YOU AND YOU WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE ANY TRUE UPS. INCOME DATE The Income Date is the date Annuity Payments (GMIB Payments or Traditional Annuity Payments) will begin. Your Income Date is specified in your Contract as the maximum permitted date allowed for your Contract, which is the first day of the calendar month following the later of: a) the Annuitant's 90th birthday, or b) ten years from the Issue Date. This limitation may not apply when the Contract is issued to a charitable remainder trust. You can make an authorized request for a different Income Date after the Issue Date, however, any such request is subject to our approval. Your Income Date must be the first day of a calendar month and must be at least two years after the Issue Date. Some states may require us to allow you to select an earlier Income Date. The Income Date will never be later than what is permitted under applicable law. To receive the annuity income protection of the GMIB, your Income Date must be within 30 days following a Contract Anniversary beginning with the fifth Contract Anniversary (and certain other conditions must also be met). An earlier Income Date may be required to satisfy minimum required distribution rules under certain Qualified Contracts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 Your election to start Annuity Payments may involve an MVA if any of your Contract Value is in a FPA on the Income Date. PARTIAL ANNUITIZATION PARTIAL ANNUITIZATIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE OWNER, THE OWNER MUST BE THE ANNUITANT, AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW THE OWNER TO ADD A JOINT ANNUITANT. You can take Partial Annuitizations as Traditional Annuity Payments after the second Contract Anniversary, and/or as GMIB Payments beginning on the fifth Contract Anniversary. GMIB Partial Annuitizations are only available if the GMIB value is greater than the Contract Value. Partial Annuitizations are not available after you take a Full Annuitization. If you take a Full Annuitization, the Accumulation Phase of the Contract will end. You can take one Partial Annuitization every 12 months. THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ANNUITIZATIONS WE ALLOW AT ANY ONE TIME IS FIVE. We do not allow you to allocate additional Contract Value (or GMIB value) to an existing stream of Annuity Payments. You also cannot transfer any amounts allocated to a stream of Annuity Payments to any other portion of the Contract. If you have four Partial Annuitizations and you would like to take a fifth, you must take a Full Annuitization and apply the entire remaining Contract Value to Annuity Payments, and the Accumulation Phase of the Contract will end. The amounts you apply to a Partial Annuitization and Annuity Payments we make under a Partial Annuitization are not subject to the withdrawal charge. A Partial Annuitization will decrease the Contract Value, the Withdrawal Charge Basis, the GMDB value, and for Contracts with the Living Guarantees, it will also decrease the GAV and GMIB value. This will decrease the amounts available for withdrawals, additional Annuity Payments (including GMIB Payments), and payment of the death benefit. The type of Annuity Payments (traditional or GMIB) you request under a Partial Annuitization will reduce the GAV, GMIB and GMDB values differently. For more information, see section 2, The Annuity Phase - GMIB Adjusted Partial Withdrawals; section 6, Guaranteed Account Value (GAV) Benefit; section 7, Expenses - Withdrawal Charge; and section 11, Death Benefit - GMDB Adjusted Partial Withdrawal Formula. FOR TAX PURPOSES, ANNUITY PAYMENTS WE MAKE UNDER A PARTIAL ANNUITIZATION WILL BE TREATED AS PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS AND NOT AS ANNUITY PAYMENTS. However, once the entire Contract Value has been applied to Annuity Payments, we intend to treat all Annuity Payments we make after that as annuity payments (and not withdrawals) for tax purposes. If you take a Partial Annuitization(s) and subsequently take a full withdrawal of the entire remaining Contract Value, all Annuity Payments we make on or after the Business Day you take the withdrawal, should be treated as annuity payments (and not withdrawals) for tax purposes. If the Annuity Payments we make are treated as withdrawals (and not annuity payments) for tax purposes, under Non-Qualified Contracts, any gains in the entire Contract will be considered to be distributed before Purchase Payments and will be subject to ordinary income tax. For Qualified Contracts, in most cases, the entire Annuity Payment we make under a Partial Annuitization will be subject to ordinary income taxes. If any Owner is younger than age 59 1/2, the taxable portion of the Annuity Payments we make under a Partial Annuitization may also be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. Partial Annuitizations may also affect the tax treatment of any future Annuity Payments. We may also make deductions to reimburse ourselves for premium taxes that we pay from partially annuitized amounts. YOU SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE REQUESTING A PARTIAL ANNUITIZATION. ANNUITY OPTIONS You can choose one of the income plans (Annuity Options) described below or any other payment option to which we agree. Before the Income Date, you can select and/or change the Annuity Option with at least 30 days written notice to us. After Annuity Payments begin, you cannot change the Annuity Option. Annuity Payments will usually be lower if you select an Annuity Option that requires us to make more frequent Annuity Payments or to make payments over a longer period of time. For example, the guaranteed initial monthly fixed payout rates under Annuity Option 4 with a guarantee period of 20 years or more are the lowest fixed rates we offer, and the guaranteed initial monthly fixed payout rates under Annuity Option 1 are the highest fixed rates we offer. Annuity Payments will also be lower if you request Annuity Payments at an early age (for example, when the Annuitant is age 50) as opposed to waiting until the Annuitant is older (for example, when the Annuitant is age 70). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 OPTION 1. LIFE ANNUITY. We will make Annuity Payments during the life of the Annuitant, and the last payment will be the one that is due before the Annuitant's death. If the Annuitant dies shortly after the Income Date, the Payee may receive less than your investment in the Contract. OPTION 2. LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS OVER 5, 10, 15 OR 20 YEARS GUARANTEED. We will make Annuity Payments during the life of the Annuitant. If you take one single Full Annuitization and the Annuitant dies before the end of the selected guaranteed period, we will continue to make Annuity Payments to the Payee for the rest of the guaranteed period. Alternatively, the Owner may elect to receive a lump sum payment. Under a Partial Annuitization, if the Annuitant dies before the end of the selected guaranteed period, we will make a lump sum payment to the Beneficiary. The lump sum payment is equal to the present value of the remaining guaranteed Annuity Payments as of the date we receive proof of the Annuitant's death and a payment election form at our Service Center. For variable Traditional Annuity Payments, in most states, we base the remaining guaranteed Traditional Annuity Payments on the current value of the Annuity Units and we use the assumed investment rate to calculate the present value. For fixed payouts, in most states, we calculate the present value of the remaining guaranteed Annuity Payments using the Statutory Calendar Year Interest Rate based on the NAIC Standard Valuation Law for Single Premium Immediate Annuities corresponding to the Income Date. However, some states require us to use different interest rates for variable and fixed payouts for the present value calculation. We require proof of the Annuitant's death and return of the Contract before we will make any lump sum payment. There are no additional costs associated with a lump sum payment. OPTION 3. JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY. We will make Annuity Payments during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant. Upon the death of one Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee will continue during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant, at a level of 100%, 75% or 50% of the previous amount, as selected by the Owner. Annuity Payments will stop with the last payment that is due before the last surviving joint Annuitant's death. If both Annuitants die shortly after the Income Date, the Payee may receive less than your investment in the Contract. This Annuity Option is not available to you under a Partial Annuitization. OPTION 4. JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS OVER 5, 10, 15 OR 20 YEARS GUARANTEED. We will make Annuity Payments during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant. Upon the death of one Annuitant, Annuity Payments will continue to the Payee during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant at 100% of the amount that was paid when both Annuitants were alive. However, if both joint Annuitants die before the end of the selected guaranteed period, we will continue to make Annuity Payments to the Payee for the rest of the guaranteed period. Alternatively, the Owner may elect to receive a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the remaining guaranteed Annuity Payments as of the date we receive proof of the last surviving joint Annuitant's death and a payment election form at our Service Center. For variable Traditional Annuity Payments, in most states, we base the remaining guaranteed Traditional Annuity Payments on the current value of the Annuity Units and we use the assumed investment rate to calculate the present value. For fixed payouts, in most states, we calculate the present value of the remaining guaranteed Annuity Payments using the Statutory Calendar Year Interest Rate based on the NAIC Standard Valuation Law for Single Premium Immediate Annuities corresponding to the Income Date. However, some states require us to use different interest rates for variable and fixed payouts for the present value calculation. We require proof of death of both joint Annuitants and return of the Contract before we will make any lump sum payment. There are no additional costs associated with a lump sum payment. This Annuity Option is not available to you under a Partial Annuitization. OPTION 5. REFUND LIFE ANNUITY. We will make Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant, and the last payment will be the one that is due before the Annuitant's death. After the Annuitant's death, the Payee may receive a lump sum refund. For a fixed payout, the amount of the refund will equal the amount applied to this Annuity Option minus the total of all Annuity Payments made under this option. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14 For variable Traditional Annuity Payments, the amount of the refund will depend on the current Investment Option allocation and will be the sum of refund amounts attributable to each Investment Option. We calculate the refund amount for a given Investment Option using the following formula. (A) x {[(B) x (C) x (D)/(E)] - [(D) x (F)]} where: (A) = Annuity Unit value of the subaccount for that given Investment Option when due proof of the Annuitant's death is received at our Service Center. (B) = The amount applied to variable Traditional Annuity Payments on the Income Date. (C) = Allocation percentage in a given subaccount (in decimal form) when due proof of the Annuitant's death is received at our Service Center. (D) = The number of Annuity Units used in determining each variable Traditional Annuity Payment attributable to that given subaccount when due proof of the Annuitant's death is received at our Service Center. (E) = Dollar value of first variable Traditional Annuity Payment. (F) = Number of variable Traditional Annuity Payments made since the Income Date. We will base this calculation upon the allocation of Annuity Units actually in force at the time due proof of the Annuitant's death is received at our Service Center. We will not pay a refund if the total refund determined using the above calculation is less than or equal to zero. EXAMPLE o The Contract has one Owner who is a 65-year-old male. He elects variable Annuity Payments under Annuity Option 5 based on a Contract Value of $100,000 (item "B"). o The Owner/Annuitant allocates all the Contract Value to one Investment Option, so the allocation percentage in this subaccount is 100% (item "C"). o The purchase rate for the selected assumed investment rate is $6.15 per month per thousand dollars of Contract Value annuitized. Therefore, the first variable Annuity Payment is: $6.15 x ($100,000 / $1,000) = $615 (item "E"). o Assume the Annuity Unit value on the Income Date is $12, then the number of Annuity Units used in determining each Annuity Payment is: $615 / $12 = 51.25 (item "D"). o The Owner/Annuitant dies after receiving 62 Annuity Payments (item "F") and the Annuity Unit value for the subaccount on the date the Service Center receives due proof of death is $15 (item "A"). WE CALCULATE THE REFUND AS FOLLOWS: (A) x {[(B) x (C) x (D)/(E)] - [(D) x (F)]} = 15 x {[100,000 x 1.00 x (51.25 / 615)] - [51.25 x 62]} = 15 x {[100,000 x 0.083333] - 3,177.50} = 15 x {8,333.33 - 3,177.50} = 15 x 5,155.83 = $77,337.50 OPTION 6. SPECIFIED PERIOD CERTAIN ANNUITY. THIS OPTION IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR FIXED TRADITIONAL ANNUITY PAYMENTS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. Under this option, we will make Traditional Annuity Payments for a specified period of time. You select the specified period, which must be a whole number of years from ten to 30. If the last Annuitant dies before the end of specified period certain, then we will continue to make Traditional Annuity Payments to the Payee for the rest of the period certain. This Annuity Option is not available to you under a Partial Annuitization. NOTE FOR OWNERS THAT ARE YOUNGER THAN AGE 59 1/2: Your Annuity Payments under Annuity Option 6 may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax if the specified period certain you select is less than your life expectancy. TRADITIONAL ANNUITY PAYMENTS Annuity Payments offer a guaranteed income stream with certain tax advantages and are designed for Owners who are not concerned with continued access to Contract Value. You can request Traditional Annuity Payments under Annuity Options 1-5 as: o a variable payout, o a fixed payout, or o a combination of both. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15 If you do not choose an Annuity Option before the Income Date, we will make variable Traditional Annuity Payments to the Payee under Annuity Option 2 with ten years of guaranteed monthly payments. Under a fixed payout, all of the Annuity Payments will be the same dollar amount (equal installments) except as provided under Annuity Option 3. If you choose a variable payout, you can continue to invest in up to 15 of the available Investment Options. We may change this in the future, but we will always allow you to invest in at least five Investment Options. If you do not tell us otherwise, we will base variable Traditional Annuity Payments on the investment allocations that were in place on the Income Date. We will not allow you to apply amounts of less than $5,000 to an Annuity Option. If your Contract Value, adjusted for any applicable MVA (less any deduction we make to reimburse ourselves for premium tax that we pay), is less than $5,000 on the Income Date, we will refund that amount to you. Currently, it is our business practice that the initial Traditional Annuity Payment exceed $50. We will contact you to discuss alternate payment arrangements if the initial Traditional Annuity Payment would be $50 or less. Guaranteed fixed Traditional Annuity Payments are based on an interest rate and mortality table specified in your Contract. The payout rates for fixed Traditional Annuity Payments provided by your Contract are guaranteed and in no event will we use lower fixed payout rates to calculate your fixed Traditional Annuity Payments. However, we may use higher fixed payout rates to calculate fixed Traditional Annuity Payments than the guaranteed rates provided by your Contract. If you choose to have any portion of the Traditional Annuity Payments based on the investment performance of the Investment Option(s), the dollar amount of the payments will depend upon the following factors. o The Contract Value (adjusted for any applicable MVA and any deduction we make to reimburse ourselves for premium tax that we pay) on the Income Date. o The age of the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant on the Income Date. o The sex of the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant, where permitted. o The Annuity Option you select. o The assumed investment rate (AIR) you select. o The mortality table specified in the Contract. o The future performance of the Investment Option(s) you select. You can choose a 3%, 5% or 7% AIR. The 7% AIR is not available in all states. Using a higher AIR results in a higher initial variable Traditional Annuity Payment, but later payments will increase more slowly when investment performance rises and decrease more rapidly when investment performance declines. If the actual performance of your Investment Options exceeds the AIR you selected, the variable Traditional Annuity Payments will increase. Similarly, if the actual performance is less than the AIR you selected, the variable Traditional Annuity Payments will decrease. EACH PORTION OF THE CONTRACT THAT YOU APPLY TO TRADITIONAL ANNUITY PAYMENTS WILL TERMINATE UPON THE EARLIEST OF THE FOLLOWING. o Under Annuity Options 1 and 3, the death of the last surviving Annuitant. o Under Annuity Options 2 and 4, the death of the last surviving Annuitant and expiration of the guaranteed period. If we make a lump sum payment of the remaining guaranteed Traditional Annuity Payments at the death of the last surviving Annuitant, this portion of the Contract will terminate upon payment of the lump sum. o Under Annuity Option 5, the death of the Annuitant and payment of any lump sum refund. o Under Annuity Option 6, the expiration of the specified period certain. o Contract termination. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT (GMIB) In most states, if you choose to include Living Guarantees in your Contract, the Living Guarantees will include a GMIB. Living Guarantees must be selected at Contract issue. After the Issue Date, the Living Guarantees cannot be added to or removed from your Contract. You must hold the Contract for five complete Contract Years before you can exercise the GMIB. The GMIB may not be appropriate for you if you intend to hold the Contract for less than five years or if you intend to take a Full Annuitization before the end of the five year waiting period. The GMIB does not create Contract Value or guarantee the performance of any Investment Option. If you purchase this Contract under a qualified plan that is subject to required minimum distributions (RMDs) and you do not exercise the GMIB on or before the date RMD payments must begin under a qualified plan, the Owner or Beneficiary may not be able to exercise the GMIB due to the restrictions imposed by the minimum distribution requirements. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHETHER THE GMIB IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR SITUATION IF YOU PLAN TO EXERCISE THE GMIB AFTER YOUR RMD BEGINNING DATE. THE GMIB MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN YOUR STATE; CHECK WITH YOUR REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE. The GMIB provides guaranteed minimum fixed income in the form of Annuity Payments (GMIB Payments). Depending on the Annuity Option you select, the GMIB can provide guaranteed lifetime income, but if the Annuitant(s) die shortly after the Income Date, the Payee may receive less than your investment in the Contract. You can always annuitize your Contract Value two years or more after the Issue Date under a fixed and/or variable traditional Annuity Option. However, if you do, you cannot use the GMIB value. The annuity income protection provided by the GMIB will apply only under the following circumstances. o Your Income Date must be within 30 days following a Contract Anniversary beginning with the fifth Contract Anniversary. o GMIB Payments can only be made as fixed payments regardless of the Annuity Option you select. o You must select a lifetime income Annuity Option (Annuity Options 1-5). Under the GMIB, you can take either a Full Annuitization, or you can take Partial Annuitization(s) if the GMIB value is greater than the Contract Value. IF YOU EXERCISE THE GMIB UNDER A FULL ANNUITIZATION: o The Accumulation Phase will end and the Annuity Phase will begin. o The portion of the Contract that you apply to the GMIB will no longer be subject to the M&E charge, but any portion of the Contract that has been applied to variable Traditional Annuity Payments will continue to be subject to a 1.25% M&E charge for the February 2007 Contract and the Original Contract issued on or after June 22, 2007. o The GMDB endorsement will terminate. IF YOU EXERCISE THE GMIB UNDER A PARTIAL ANNUITIZATION*: o The Annuity Phase will begin and the Accumulation Phase will continue. o The portion of the Contract that you apply to the GMIB will no longer be subject to the M&E charge, but any portion of the Contract that is in the Accumulation Phase or that has been applied to variable Traditional Annuity Payments will continue to be subject to the appropriate M&E charge. o If any portion of the Contract is still in the Accumulation Phase, you may be able to make additional Purchase Payments to the Contract, but you cannot make additional Purchase Payments to any portion of the Contract that is in the Annuity Phase. o The Partial Annuitization will reduce each Purchase Payment, the Contract Value and GMDB value proportionately by the percentage of GMIB value you apply to the GMIB. o GMIB Payments will not affect the Contract Value available under the portion of the Contract that is in the Accumulation Phase. * Not available if the GMIB value is less than the Contract Value. If you take a Partial Annuitization, you cannot do any of the following. o Transfer any amounts you allocated to GMIB Payments back to the portion of the Contract that is in the Accumulation Phase. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17 o Transfer amounts from one Annuity Payment stream to another. o Allocate additional GMIB value (or Contract Value) to an existing stream of Annuity Payments. In order to begin receiving GMIB Payments, you must submit an income option election form to our Service Center after the expiration of the five-year waiting period and within 30 days following a Contract Anniversary. GMIB Payments will begin after your request has been received at our Service Center and is determined to be in good order. We will make GMIB Payments to you beginning on the 30th day after your Contract Anniversary. If the scheduled GMIB Payment date does not fall on a Business Day, we will make payment to you on the next Business Day. EACH PORTION OF THE CONTRACT THAT YOU APPLY TO GMIB PAYMENTS WILL TERMINATE UPON THE EARLIEST OF THE FOLLOWING. o Under Annuity Options 1 and 3, the death of the last surviving Annuitant. o Under Annuity Options 2 and 4, the death of the last surviving Annuitant and expiration of the guaranteed period.* o Under Annuity Option 5, the death of the Annuitant and payment of any lump sum refund. o Contract termination. * If we make a lump sum payment of the remaining guaranteed GMIB Payments at the death of the last surviving Annuitant, this portion of the Contract will terminate upon payment of the lump sum. TAXATION OF GMIB PAYMENTS If you take a GMIB Partial Annuitization, GMIB Payments will be treated as withdrawals and not annuity payments for tax purposes. This means that for tax purposes, any Contract earnings in the entire Contract will be considered to be distributed before Purchase Payments and may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. For Non-Qualified Contracts, gains are generally subject to income tax and Purchase Payments are not. For Qualified Contracts, the entire GMIB Payment under a Partial Annuitization will most likely be subject to income taxes. For more information on Partial Annuitizations, please see the discussion that appears earlier in this section. If you take a Full Annuitization under the GMIB, GMIB Payments should be treated as annuity payments for tax purposes. If you take a GMIB Partial Annuitization, it should be treated as annuity payments (and not withdrawals) for tax purposes ONLY after the Income Date on which you have applied the entire remaining Contract Value to Annuity Payments under the GMIB and/or Traditional Annuity Payments. That is, the Income Date after the Contract has been fully annuitized. For Non-Qualified Contracts that have been fully annuitized, a portion of each payment may be treated as gains that are subject to tax as ordinary income, and the remaining portion of the payment will be considered to be a return of your investment and will not be subject to income tax. Once we have paid out all of your Purchase Payments, however, the full amount of each GMIB Payment will be subject to tax as ordinary income. For Qualified Contracts, the entire GMIB Payment will most likely be subject to tax as ordinary income. Once you apply the entire Contract Value to Annuity Payments, GMIB Payments will generally not be subject to the 10% federal penalty tax. AMOUNT USED TO CALCULATE GMIB PAYMENTS The GMIB guarantees that the GMIB Payments will be equal to the guaranteed fixed payout rates applied to the GMIB value. There may be situations where the GMIB value is greater than the Contract Value, but the GMIB Payments are less than fixed Traditional Annuity Payments based on the Contract Value. This may occur because the guaranteed fixed payout rates available with the GMIB may be less than the current fixed payout rates that are otherwise available under Traditional Annuity Payments. We will base your Annuity Payments on whichever amount (GMIB value or Contract Value) produces the greater payment. GMIB VALUE If the older Owner is age 80 on the Issue Date, your GMIB value before the date of your death is equal to the total Purchase Payments received minus each GMIB adjusted partial withdrawal taken. If all Owners are age 79 or younger on the Issue Date, your GMIB value before the date of your death is equal to the greater of: o total Purchase Payments received minus each GMIB adjusted partial withdrawal taken, or o the MAV. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18 CALCULATING THE MAV The MAV on the Issue Date is equal to your initial Purchase Payment received on the Issue Date. ON EACH BUSINESS DAY OTHER THAN A CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY, the MAV is equal to: o its value on the immediately preceding Business Day, o plus any additional Purchase Payments received that day, and o reduced by any GMIB adjusted partial withdrawal taken that day. ON EACH CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY BEFORE THE OLDER OWNER'S 81ST BIRTHDAY (or the Annuitant's 81st birthday if the Contract is owned by a non-individual), the MAV is equal to the greater of its value on the immediately preceding Business Day, or the Contract Value that occurs on that Contract Anniversary before we process any transactions. We then process any transactions we received on that Contract Anniversary (such as additional Purchase Payments, withdrawals, and Partial Annuitizations) in the same way that we do on each Business Day other than a Contract Anniversary. BEGINNING WITH THE CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY THAT OCCURS ON OR AFTER THE OLDER OWNER'S 81ST BIRTHDAY (or the Annuitant's 81st birthday if the Contract is owned by a non-individual), we calculate the MAV in the same way that we do on each Business Day other than a Contract Anniversary. GMIB ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS Any GMIB Partial Annuitizations you take will reduce the GMIB value by the dollar amount applied to the GMIB Payments. For each withdrawal or traditional Partial Annuitization taken before the second Contract Anniversary, a GMIB adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: PW X GMIB For each withdrawal or traditional Partial Annuitization taken on or after the second Contract Anniversary, a GMIB adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: FPW + (RPW X GMIB) PW = The amount of Contract Value (before any MVA) applied to a traditional Partial Annuitization or withdrawn (including any applicable withdrawal charge). FPW = The amount of the partial withdrawal (before any MVA) that, together with any other previous partial withdrawals taken during the Contract Year, does not exceed 12% of total Purchase Payments received (the partial withdrawal privilege). However, if you take a traditional Partial Annuitization, the entire amount of Contract Value (before any MVA) applied to the traditional Partial Annuitization will be included in the RPW portion of this formula. RPW = The remaining amount of the partial withdrawal, including any applicable withdrawal charge, but before any MVA. GMIB = The greater of one, or the ratio of (a) divided by (b) where: (a)= The GMIB value on the day of (but before) the partial withdrawal. (b)= The Contract Value on the day of (but before) the partial withdrawal or traditional Partial Annuitization, adjusted for any applicable MVA. ANY WITHDRAWALS TAKEN IN THE FIRST TWO CONTRACT YEARS AND ANY TRADITIONAL PARTIAL ANNUITIZATIONS YOU TAKE MAY REDUCE THE GMIB VALUE BY MORE THAN THE AMOUNT WITHDRAWN OR ANNUITIZED. BEGINNING ON THE SECOND CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY, ANY WITHDRAWALS YOU TAKE IN EXCESS OF THE PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE MAY REDUCE THE GMIB VALUES BY MORE THAN THE AMOUNT WITHDRAWN. For these withdrawals and annuitizations, if the Contract Value at the time of withdrawal or annuitization is greater than or equal to the GMIB value, we will reduce the GMIB value by the dollar amount withdrawn or annuitized. If the Contract Value at the time of withdrawal or annuitization is less than the GMIB value, we will reduce the GMIB value by more than the amount withdrawn or annuitized. Please see Appendix C for examples of calculations of the GMIB value. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. PURCHASE PURCHASE PAYMENTS A Purchase Payment is the money you put into the Contract. To purchase this Contract, all Owners and Annuitant(s) must be age 80 or younger on the Issue Date. The initial Purchase Payment is due on the Issue Date. The Purchase Payment requirements for this Contract are as follows. o The minimum initial payment we will accept is $10,000. o You can make additional Purchase Payments of $50 or more during the Accumulation Phase. o YOU CANNOT MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PAYMENTS TO THE CONTRACT AFTER THE INCOME DATE THAT YOU TAKE A FULL ANNUITIZATION (INCLUDING A REQUIRED FULL ANNUITIZATION ON THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED INCOME DATE). IN CERTAIN STATES, ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PAYMENTS CAN ONLY BE MADE DURING THE FIRST CONTRACT YEAR OR MAY BE OTHERWISE RESTRICTED. o The maximum total amount we will accept without our prior approval is $1 million (including amounts already invested in other Allianz Life variable annuities). o If we make this Contract available as an Inherited IRA, the death benefit proceeds of the previous tax-qualified investment must be directly transferred into this Contract (see section 9, Access to Your Money - The Minimum Distribution Program and Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Payments). A beneficiary can apply the death benefit proceeds from multiple tax-qualified investments that were owned by the same owner to the purchase of an Inherited IRA Contract. We will not accept any other forms of Purchase Payment on an Inherited IRA Contract. The death benefit proceeds cannot be received by the beneficiary and then applied to an Inherited IRA Contract. For more information on Inherited IRA Contracts, see section 8, Taxes - Qualified Contracts - Inherited IRA. PURCHASE PAYMENTS TO QUALIFIED CONTRACTS MUST NOT BE GREATER THAN ALLOWED UNDER FEDERAL LAW AND MUST BE FROM EARNED INCOME OR A QUALIFIED TRANSFER. PURCHASE PAYMENTS TO QUALIFIED CONTRACTS OTHER THAN FROM A QUALIFIED TRANSFER MAY BE RESTRICTED AFTER THE OWNER REACHES AGE 70 1/2. We may, at our sole discretion, waive the minimum Purchase Payment requirements. We reserve the right to decline any Purchase Payment. AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN (AIP) The AIP is a program that allows you to make additional Purchase Payments to your Contract during the Accumulation Phase on a monthly or quarterly basis by electronic transfer of money from your savings, checking or brokerage account. You may participate in this program by completing the appropriate form. Our Service Center must receive your form by the first of the month in order for AIP to begin that same month. Investments will take place on the 20th of the month or the next Business Day if the 20th is not a Business Day. The minimum investment that you can make by AIP is $50. You may stop or change the AIP at any time you want. We must be notified by the first of the month in order to stop or change the AIP for that month. If the AIP is used for a Qualified Contract, you should consult your tax adviser for advice regarding maximum contributions. The AIP is not available if the Qualified Contract is funding a plan that is tax qualified under Section 401of the Internal Revenue Code. ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS We do not currently accept allocation instructions from you via email, website, or other electronic communications. This service may be available to you in the future. When you purchase a Contract, we will allocate your initial Purchase Payment to the Investment Choices you selected according to your instructions. We ask that you allocate your money in whole percentages. Transfers of Contract Value between Investment Choices will not change the allocation instructions for any future additional Purchase Payments. You can instruct us how to allocate additional Purchase Payments you make. If you do not instruct us, we will allocate them according to your most recent allocation instructions. You can only allocate up to 50% of any Purchase Payment to the FPAs during the Accumulation Phase. In some states, you cannot make allocations to the FPAs and they may only be available for GAV Transfers we make. In addition, if your Contract includes the Living Guarantees, we may transfer more than 50% of the total Purchase Payments to the FPAs beginning on the second Contract Anniversary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 You may provide us with new allocation instructions at any time without fee, penalty or other charge upon written notice or telephone instructions to our Service Center. The new allocation instructions will be effective for Purchase Payments received on or after the Business Day we receive your notice or instructions in good order at our Service Center. If you change your allocation instructions and you are participating in the automatic investment plan or the flexible rebalancing program, your allocation instructions must include directions for the plan/program. We reserve the right to limit the number of Investment Options that you can invest in at any one time. Currently, you can invest in up to 15 of the Investment Options at any one time. We may change this in the future; however, we will always allow you to invest in at least five Investment Options. Once we receive your initial Purchase Payment and the necessary information, we will issue the Contract and allocate your initial Purchase Payment within two Business Days. If you do not give us all of the information we need, we will contact you or your registered representative to get it. If for some reason we are unable to complete this process within five Business Days, we will either send back your money or get your permission to keep it until we get all of the necessary information. If you make additional Purchase Payments, we will credit these amounts to the Contract within one Business Day. Our Business Day closes when regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange closes. If you submit a Purchase Payment and/or application to your registered representative, we will not begin processing the Purchase Payment until it is received at our Service Center. We consider a Purchase Payment to be "received" when it is received at our Service Center regardless of how or when you made the payment. If mandated under applicable law, we may be required to reject a Purchase Payment. We also may be required to provide information about you or your Contract to government regulators. In addition, we may be required to block an Owner's Contract and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. TAX-FREE SECTION 1035 EXCHANGES Subject to certain restrictions, you can make a "tax-free" exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code for all or a portion of one annuity contract for another, or all or a portion of a life insurance policy for an annuity contract. Before making an exchange, you should compare both contracts carefully. Remember that if you exchange a life insurance policy or annuity contract for the Contract described in this prospectus: o you might have to pay a withdrawal charge on your previous contract, o there will be a new withdrawal charge period for this Contract, o other charges under this Contract may be higher (or lower), o the benefits may be different, and o you will no longer have access to any benefits from your previous contract. If the exchange does not qualify for Section 1035 treatment, you also may have to pay federal income tax, including a possible federal penalty tax, on the exchange. You should not exchange an existing life insurance policy or another annuity contract for this Contract unless you determine that the exchange is in your best interest and not just better for the person trying to sell you the Contract (that person will generally earn a commission on each contract sale). IF YOU CONTEMPLATE SUCH AN EXCHANGE, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER TO DISCUSS THE POTENTIAL TAX EFFECTS OF SUCH A TRANSACTION. FAXED APPLICATIONS We will accept Contract applications delivered in writing and, in most states, we will accept applications via fax. It is important that you verify that we have received any faxed application you send. We are not liable for faxed transaction requests that were sent by you but not received by us. We will treat a manually signed faxed application as an application delivered in writing. Please note that fax communications may not always be available. Any fax system, whether it is ours, yours, your service provider's, or your registered representative's, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should submit your application in writing to our Service Center. We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the faxed application privilege at any time and for any reason. We do not currently accept applications delivered via email or our website. This may be available in the future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 FREE LOOK/RIGHT TO EXAMINE If you change your mind about owning the Contract, you can cancel it within ten days after receiving it (or the period required in your state). When you cancel the Contract within this time period, we will not assess a withdrawal charge. In most states, you will receive your Contract Value as of the day we receive your request. This may be more or less than your initial Purchase Payment. In certain states, or if you purchased this Contract as an IRA, we are required to refund your Purchase Payment less withdrawals if you decide to cancel your Contract within the free look period. In these instances, if you cancel your Contract you will receive the greater of Purchase Payments less withdrawals, or Contract Value. In cases where we are required to refund the Purchase Payment, we reserve the right to allocate your initial Purchase Payment to the AZL Money Market Fund until the expiration of the free look period. At the end of that period, we will re-allocate your money as you selected. If we are required to refund the Purchase Payments and you cancel your Contract or we reject your application, you will receive the greater of Purchase Payments less withdrawals or Contract Value, regardless of how your Purchase Payments were allocated. For Owners in California age 60 or older, we are required to allocate your money to the AZL Money Market Fund during the free look period unless you specify otherwise on the appropriate form. The free look provision under the Contract is also called the right to examine. ACCUMULATION UNITS/COMPUTING THE CONTRACT VALUE Your Contract Value in the subaccounts (Separate Account Value) will go up or down based upon the investment performance of the Investment Option(s) you choose. Your Contract Value will also be affected by the charges of the Contract, any interest you earn on any general account Investment Choices, and any MVAs made due to amounts removed from the FPAs. In order to keep track of your Separate Account Value, we use a measurement called an Accumulation Unit. If you request variable Traditional Annuity Payments during the Annuity Phase of the Contract, we call this measurement an Annuity Unit. When we receive a Purchase Payment, we credit your Contract with Accumulation Units for any portion of your Purchase Payment allocated to an Investment Option at the daily price next determined after receipt of the Purchase Payment at our Service Center. The daily purchase price is normally determined at the end of each Business Day, and any Purchase Payment received at or after the end of the current Business Day will receive the next Business Day's price. The Purchase Payments you allocate to the Investment Options are actually placed into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests exclusively in one Investment Option. We determine the number of Accumulation Units we credit to your Contract by dividing the amount of the Purchase Payment allocated to a subaccount by the value of the corresponding Accumulation Unit. Every Business Day, we determine the value of an Accumulation Unit for each subaccount by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the previous Business Day by the net investment factor for the current Business Day. We determine the net investment factor by: o dividing the net asset value of a subaccount at the end of the current Business Day by the net asset value of the subaccount for the previous Business Day, o adding any applicable dividends or capital gains, and o multiplying this result by one minus the amount of the M&E charge for the current Business Day and any charges for taxes. We calculate the value of each Accumulation Unit after regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange closes each Business Day. The value of an Accumulation Unit may go up or down from Business Day to Business Day. We calculate your Separate Account Value by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value in each subaccount by the number of Accumulation Units for each subaccount and then adding those results together. (For example, the Contract Value on any Contract Anniversary will reflect the number and value of the Accumulation Units at the end of the previous Business Day.) EXAMPLE o On Wednesday, we receive at our Service Center an additional Purchase Payment of $3,000 from you before the end of the Business Day. o When the New York Stock Exchange closes on that Wednesday, we determine that the value of an Accumulation Unit based on the Investment Option you chose is $13.25. We then divide $3,000 by $13.25 and credit your Contract on Wednesday night with 226.41509 subaccount Accumulation Units for the Investment Option you chose. If the $3,000 payment had been received at or after the end of the current Business Day, it would have received the next Business Day's price. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. INVESTMENT OPTIONS The Contract offers the Investment Options listed in the following table. Each Investment Option has its own investment objective. In the future, we may add, eliminate or substitute Investment Options. Depending on market conditions, you can gain or lose value by investing in the Investment Options. YOU SHOULD READ THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS' PROSPECTUSES CAREFULLY. The Investment Options invest in different types of securities and follow varying investment strategies. There are potential risks associated with each of these types of securities and investment strategies. For example, an Investment Option's performance may be affected by risks specific to certain types of investments, such as foreign securities, derivative investments, non-investment grade debt securities, initial public offerings (IPOs) or companies with relatively small market capitalizations. IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on an Investment Option with a small asset base. An Investment Option may not experience similar performance as its assets grow. The operation of the Investment Options and the various risks associated with the Investment Options are described in the Investment Options' prospectuses. TO OBTAIN A CURRENT PROSPECTUS FOR ANY OF THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS, CONTACT YOUR REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE OR CALL US AT THE TOLL FREE TELEPHONE NUMBER LISTED AT THE BACK OF THIS PROSPECTUS. We will send copies of the Investment Options' prospectuses to you when we issue the Contract. Certain Investment Options issue two or more classes of shares and certain share classes may have Rule 12b-1 fees. The classes of shares currently offered by this Contract are listed in the table of annual operating expenses for each Investment Option that appears in Appendix A. For more information about share classes, see the Investment Options' prospectuses. Currently, the Investment Options are not publicly traded mutual funds. They are available only as investment options in variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies issued by life insurance companies or in some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans. The names, investment objectives and policies of certain Investment Options may be similar to the names, investment objectives and policies of other portfolios that the same investment advisers manage. Although the names, objectives and policies may be similar, the investment results of the Investment Options may be higher or lower than the results of such portfolios. The investment advisers cannot guarantee, and make no representation, that the investment results of similar funds will be comparable even though the Investment Options have the same names, investment advisers, objectives and policies. The AZL FusionPortfolios are offered by the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust. Each of the AZL FusionPortfolios is a "fund of funds" and diversifies its assets by investing in the shares of several other affiliated mutual funds. The underlying funds may pay 12b-1 fees to the distributor of the Contracts, our affiliate, Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC, for distribution and/or administrative services. The underlying funds do not pay service fees or 12b-1 fees to the AZL FusionPortfolios, and the AZL FusionPortfolios do not pay service fees or 12b-1 fees. The underlying funds of the AZL FusionPortfolios or their advisers may pay service fees to us and our affiliates for providing customer service and other administrative services to Contract Owners. The amount of such service fees may vary depending on the underlying fund. We offer other variable annuity contracts that may invest in the same Investment Options. These contracts may have different charges and may offer different benefits more appropriate to your needs. For more information about these contracts, please contact our Service Center. The following advisers and subadvisers are affiliated with us: Allianz Investment Management LLC, Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management, Oppenheimer Capital LLC and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC. The following is a list of the Investment Options available under the Contract, the investment advisers and subadvisers for each Investment Option, the investment objectives for each Investment Option, and the primary investments of each Investment Option. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23

Shares of the Investment Options may be offered in connection with certain variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies of various insurance companies that may or may not be affiliated with us. Certain Investment Options may also be sold directly to pension and retirement plans that qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, a material conflict of interest may arise between insurance companies, owners of different types of contracts and retirement plans or their participants. Each Investment Option's Board of Directors will monitor for the existence of any material conflicts, and determine what action, if any, should be taken. We may enter into certain arrangements under which we, or our affiliate Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC, the principal underwriter for the Contracts, are compensated by the Investment Options' advisers, distributors and/or affiliates for the administrative services and benefits that we provide to the Investment Options. The amount of the compensation usually is based on the aggregate assets of the Investment Options or other investment portfolios that are attributable to contracts that we issue or administer. Some advisers may pay us more or less than others. The maximum fee that we currently receive is at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average aggregate amount invested by us in the Investment Options. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30 In addition, our affiliate Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC, may receive Rule 12b-1 fees deducted from certain Investment Option assets attributable to the Contract for providing distribution and support services to some Investment Options. Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of an Investment Option's assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of an investment in the Investment Option. SUBSTITUTION AND LIMITATION ON FURTHER INVESTMENTS We may substitute another Investment Option for one of the Investment Options you selected for any reason in our sole discretion. Substitutions may be made with respect to existing investments, the investment of future Purchase Payments, or both. New or substitute Investment Options may have different fees and expenses, and their availability may be limited to certain classes of purchasers. We may limit further investment in, or transfers to, an Investment Option if marketing, tax or investment considerations warrant, or for any reason in our sole discretion. We also may close Investment Options to allocations of Purchase Payments and/or Contract Value, at any time and at our sole discretion. The fund companies that sell shares of the Investment Options to us, pursuant to participation agreements, may terminate those agreements and discontinue offering their shares to us. To the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 or other applicable law, we will not substitute any shares without notice to you and prior approval of the SEC. TRANSFERS You can make transfers among the Investment Choices, subject to certain restrictions. Transfers may be subject to a transfer fee. For more information, see section 7, Expenses - Transfer Fee. Also, transfers from the FPAs may be subject to an MVA. We currently allow you to make as many transfers each Contract Year as you wish. We may change this practice in the future. There is no minimum required transfer amount. This product is not designed for professional market timing organizations, other entities or persons using programmed, large, or frequent transfers, and excessive or inappropriate transfer activity may be restricted. The following applies to any transfer. o We may choose not to allow you to make transfers during the free look/right to examine period. o Your request for a transfer must clearly state: - which Investment Choices are involved in the transfer; and - how much you wish to transfer. o Transfers from a FPA may be subject to an MVA. o If you elect the Living Guarantees, you can make transfers from the FPAs to the extent that the GAV Fixed Account Minimum is met (see section 6, Guaranteed Account Value (GAV) Benefit - The GAV Fixed Account Minimum). These transfers may be subject to an MVA unless the transfers are made within 30 days before the end of the Account Period. In some states you cannot make allocations to the FPAs and they may only be available for GAV Transfers we make. o After the Income Date, you cannot make a transfer from a fixed Annuity Payment stream to a variable Annuity Payment stream. o After the Income Date, you can make a transfer from a variable Annuity Payment stream to establish a new fixed Annuity Payment stream. o Your right to make transfers is subject to modification if we determine, in our sole discretion, that exercise of the right by one or more Owners is, or may be, to the disadvantage of other Owners. For more information, see the "Excessive Trading and Market Timing" discussion in this section. o Transfer instructions apply equally to the accumulation and annuitization portions of the Contract. You cannot make transfers selectively within different portions of the Contract. o Transfers of Contract Value between Investment Options will not change the allocation instructions for any future Purchase Payments. When you make a transfer request, we will process the request based on the Accumulation Unit values and/or Annuity Unit values next determined after receipt of the request in good order at our Service Center. The Accumulation Unit values and Annuity Unit values are normally determined at the end of each Business Day and any transfer request received at or after the end of the current Business Day will receive the next Business Day's Accumulation Unit values and/or Annuity Unit values. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31 The Investment Options may, in the future, add policies or change existing policies designed to restrict market timing activities. For example, Investment Options may impose restrictions on transfers between Investment Options in an affiliated group of Investment Options if the investment adviser to one or more of the Investment Options determines that the Owner or his or her designee requesting the transfer has engaged, or is engaging in, market timing or other abusive trading activities. In addition, an Investment Option may impose a short-term trading fee on purchases and sales within a specified period. You should review the Investment Options' prospectuses regarding any applicable transfer restrictions and the imposition of any fee to discourage short-term trading. The imposition of these restrictions would occur as a result of Investment Option restrictions and actions taken by the managers of the Investment Options. TELEPHONE AND OTHER ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS You can request transfers by telephone, fax, or by website at www.allianzlife.com. We may allow you to authorize someone else to request transfers by telephone, fax, or website on your behalf. We will accept instructions from either you or a Joint Owner unless we are instructed otherwise. We will use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions given to us by telephone or by website are genuine. If we do not use such procedures, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We record all telephone instructions and log all website instructions. We reserve the right to deny any transfer request submitted by telephone, website, or by fax, and to discontinue or modify the telephone, fax and/or website transfer privileges at any time and for any reason. We do not currently accept transfer instructions from you via email or via electronic communications other than by telephone, fax, or by website. This service may be available to you in the future. When you make a transfer request by telephone, fax, or by website, we will process the request based on the Accumulation Unit values next determined after receipt of the request at our Service Center. If you or your authorized representative have not given instructions to a Service Center representative before the end of the Business Day, even if due to our delay in answering your call or a delay caused by our telephone, fax and/or computer system, we will consider the request to be received at or after the end of the current Business Day and the request will receive the next Business Day's Accumulation Unit values. Please note that telephone, fax and/or the website may not always be available. Any telephone, fax and/or computer system, whether it is ours, yours, your service provider's, or your registered representative's, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your transfer by writing to our Service Center. By authorizing transfers by telephone or website, you authorize us to accept and act upon such instructions for transfers involving your Contract. There are risks associated with telephone and website transactions that do not occur if a written request is submitted. Anyone authorizing or making such requests bears those risks. You should protect your website password, because the website is available to anyone who provides your password; we will not be able to verify that the person providing electronic transfer instructions via the website is you or is authorized by you. EXCESSIVE TRADING AND MARKET TIMING Your ability to make transfers under the Contract is subject to modification if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the exercise of the transfer privilege may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other Owners. Frequent transfers, programmed transfers, transfers into and then out of an Investment Choice in a short period of time, and transfers of large amounts at one time (collectively referred to as "potentially disruptive trading") may have harmful effects for other Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries. These risks and harmful effects include the following. o Dilution of the interests of long-term investors in an Investment Choice, if market timers or others transfer into the Investment Choice at prices that are below their true value or transfer out of the Investment Choice at prices that are higher than their true value. o An adverse effect on portfolio management, such as causing the Investment Choice to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case, or causing the Investment Choice to liquidate investments prematurely. o Increased brokerage and administrative expenses. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32 In order to attempt to protect our Owners and the Investment Choices from potentially disruptive trading, we have adopted certain excessive trading and market timing policies and procedures. Under our excessive trading and market timing policy, we could modify your transfer privileges for some or all of the Investment Choices. Unless prohibited by the terms of the Contract or applicable state law, the modifications we may apply include (but are not limited to) the following. o Limiting the frequency of transfers (for example, prohibit more than one transfer a week, or more than two a month, etc.). o Restricting the method of making a transfer (for example, requiring that all transfers be sent by first class U.S. mail and rescinding the telephone, fax or website transfer privileges). o Requiring a minimum time period between each transfer into or out of a particular Investment Choice. Our current policy, which is subject to change without notice, prohibits "round trips" with Investment Choices, other than the AZL Money Market Fund and the AZL FusionPortfolios, within 14 calendar days. Round trips are transfers into and back out of a particular Investment Choice, or transfers out of and back into a particular Investment Choice. o Not accepting transfer requests made on your behalf by an asset allocation and/or market timing service. o Limiting the dollar amount of any Purchase Payment or transfer request allocated to any Investment Choice at any one time. o Imposing redemption fees on short-term trading (or implementing and administering redemption fees imposed by one or more of the Investment Options). o Prohibiting transfers into specific Investment Choices. o Imposing other limitations or restrictions. We also reserve the right to reject any specific Purchase Payment allocation or transfer request from any person if in the investment adviser's, subadviser's or our judgment, an Investment Choice may be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Currently, we attempt to DETER disruptive trading as follows. If a transfer(s) is/are identified as potentially disruptive trading, we may (but are not required to) send a warning letter. If the conduct continues and we determine that it constitutes disruptive trading, we will also impose transfer restrictions. Transfer restrictions may include refusing to take orders by fax, telephone or website and requiring the submission of all transfer requests via first-class U.S. mail. We do not enter into agreements permitting market timing and would not permit activities determined to be disruptive trading to continue. We also reserve the right to impose transfer restrictions on a Contract if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the transfers are disadvantageous to other Owners. We will notify the Owner in writing if we impose transfer restrictions on the Owner. We do not include automatic transfers made under any programs we provide, or automatic transfers made under any of the Contract features, when applying our market timing policy. We have adopted these policies and procedures as a preventative measure to protect all Owners from the potential effects of disruptive trading, while also abiding by the Owners' legitimate interest in diversifying their investment and making periodic asset re-allocations based upon their personal situations or overall market conditions. We attempt to protect the Owners' interests in making legitimate transfers by providing reasonable and convenient methods of making transfers that do not harm other Owners. We may make exceptions when imposing transfer restrictions if we determine a transfer is appropriate, although it may technically violate our policies and procedures that are discussed above. In determining whether a transfer is appropriate, we may, but are not required to, take into consideration the relative size of a transaction, whether the transaction was purely a defensive transfer into the AZL Money Market Fund, and whether the transaction involved an error or similar event. We may also reinstate telephone, fax or website transfer privileges after we have revoked them, but we will not reinstate these privileges if we have reason to believe that they might be used for disruptive trading purposes in the future. We cannot guarantee the following. o Our monitoring will be 100% successful in detecting all potentially disruptive trading activity. o Revoking telephone, fax or website transfer privileges will successfully deter all potentially disruptive trading. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 In addition, certain of the Investment Options are available to insurance companies other than us and we do not know whether those other insurance companies have adopted policies and procedures to detect and deter potentially disruptive trading, or what their policies and procedures might be. As a result of the fact that we may not be completely successful at detecting and preventing market timing activities, and other insurance companies that offer the Investment Options may not have adopted adequate market timing procedures, there is some risk that market timing activity may occur and negatively affect other Owners. We may, without prior notice to any party, take whatever action we deem appropriate to comply with or take advantage of any state or federal regulatory requirement. In addition, orders for the purchase of an Investment Choice's shares are subject to acceptance by that Investment Choice. We reserve the right to reject, without prior notice, any transfer request into an Investment Choice or allocation of a Purchase Payment to an Investment Choice if the order to purchase the Investment Choice's shares is not accepted for any reason. We have entered into agreements required under SEC Rule 22c-2 (Rule 22c-2 agreements) whereby, upon request by an underlying fund or its designee, we are required to provide the underlying fund with information about you and your trading activities into or out of one or more Investment Options. This information will be provided to the underlying fund or its designee. Under the terms of the Rule 22c-2 agreements, we are required to: (1) provide details concerning every purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange of Investment Options during a specified period; and (2) restrict your trading activity if the party receiving the information so requests. Under certain Rule 22c-2 agreements, if we fail to comply with a request to restrict trading activity, the underlying fund or its designee may refuse to accept transfers from us until we comply. We retain some discretion in determining what actions constitute potentially disruptive trading and in determining when and how to impose trading restrictions. Therefore, persons engaging in potentially disruptive trading may be subjected to some uncertainty as to when and in what form trading restrictions may be applied, and persons not engaging in potentially disruptive trading may not know precisely what actions will be taken against a person engaging in potentially disruptive trading. For example, if we determine a person is engaging in potentially disruptive trading, we may revoke that person's telephone, fax or website transfer privileges and require all future requests to be sent by first class U.S. mail. In the alternative, if the disruptive trading affects only a single Investment Choice, we may prohibit transfers into or allocations of Purchase Payments to that Investment Choice. We will notify the person or entity making the potentially disruptive trade when we revoke any transfer privileges. The retention of some level of discretion by us may result in disparate treatment among persons engaging in potentially disruptive trading, and it is possible that some persons could experience adverse consequences if other persons are able to engage in practices that may constitute disruptive trading, and that result in negative effects. DOLLAR COST AVERAGING (DCA) PROGRAM The DCA program allows you to systematically transfer a set amount of money each month or quarter from any one Investment Option to other Investment Options. The Investment Option you transfer from may not be the Investment Option you transfer to in this program. You cannot dollar cost average to or from a general account Investment Choice. By allocating amounts on a regularly scheduled basis, as opposed to allocating the total amount at one particular time, you may be less susceptible to the impact of market fluctuations. You may only participate in this program during the Accumulation Phase. Generally, the DCA program requires a $1,500 minimum allocation and participation for at least six months. All DCA transfers will be made on the tenth day of the month or the next Business Day if the tenth is not a Business Day. You can elect this program by properly completing the DCA form provided by us. Your participation in the program will end when any of the following occurs. o The number of desired transfers has been made. o You do not have enough money in the Investment Options to make the transfer (if less money is available, that amount will be dollar cost averaged and the program will end). o You request to terminate the program (your request must be received at our Service Center by the first of the month to terminate that month). o Contract termination. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 34 If you participate in the DCA program, there are no fees for the transfers made under this program, we do not currently count these transfers against the free transfers that we allow, and you will not be charged additional fees for participating in or terminating from this program. We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the DCA program at any time and for any reason. FLEXIBLE REBALANCING You can choose to have us rebalance your account. Once your money has been invested, the performance of the Investment Options may cause your chosen allocation to shift. Flexible rebalancing is designed to help you maintain your specified allocation mix among the different Investment Options. The general account Investment Choices are not part of the flexible rebalancing program. You can direct us to automatically readjust your balance in the Investment Options on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis to return to your selected Investment Option allocations. Flexible rebalancing transfers will be made on the 20th day of the month or the previous Business Day if the 20th is not a Business Day. If you participate in the flexible rebalancing program, there are no fees for the transfers made under this program, we do not currently count these transfers against any free transfers that we allow and you will not be charged additional fees for participating in or terminating from this program. If your Contract includes the Living Guarantees, the automatic transfers that we make (GAV Transfers) in and out of the FPAs to support the Living Guarantees may affect your flexible rebalancing program. We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the flexible rebalancing program at any time and for any reason. To participate in this program, your request must be received in good order at our Service Center by the eighth of the month so that we may rebalance your account on the 20th of the month. To terminate your participation in this program, your request must also be received at our Service Center by the eighth of the month to terminate that month. FINANCIAL ADVISERS - ASSET ALLOCATION PROGRAMS If you have or establish a relationship with a personal financial adviser and the advisory agreement provides that you will pay all or a portion of your adviser's fees out of the Contract, we will, pursuant to written instructions from you in a form acceptable to us, make a partial withdrawal of the Contract Value to pay for the services of the financial adviser. We will treat any fee that is withdrawn as a withdrawal under the terms of this Contract. If the Contract is Non-Qualified, the withdrawal will be treated like any other distribution; it may be included in your gross income for federal tax purposes and, if any Owner is under age 59 1/2, it may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. If the Contract is Qualified, the withdrawal for the payment of fees may not be treated as a taxable distribution if certain conditions are met. You should consult a tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of the payment of financial adviser fees from your Contract. We do not set the amount of the fees charged or receive any portion of the fees from your adviser. Any fee that is charged by your adviser is in addition to the fees and expenses that apply under your Contract. We are not party to the agreement you have with your adviser. You should ask your adviser for any details about the compensation he or she receives in connection with your Contract. Please note that the adviser you engage to provide advice and/or to make transfers for you is not acting on our behalf, but is acting on your behalf. We do not review or approve the actions of any adviser, and do not assume any responsibility for these actions. However, we do reserve the right to request and review prior transaction history of any adviser prior to granting your request to allow the adviser to act on your behalf. If, in our sole discretion, we believe the adviser's trading history indicates a pattern of excessive trading, we reserve the right to deny that adviser trading authority. If an adviser is granted trading authority, that adviser is subject to the same limitations applicable to contract owners as stated above. VOTING PRIVILEGES We are the legal owner of the Investment Option shares. However, when an Investment Option solicits proxies in conjunction with a shareholder vote that affects your investment, we will obtain from you and other affected Owners instructions as to how to vote those shares. When we receive those instructions, we will vote all of the shares we own including any shares that we own on our own behalf, in proportion to those instructions. Because of this proportional voting and because many Owners do not respond to our request for them to provide us with voting instructions, a small number of Owners may determine the outcome of the vote. Should we determine that we are no longer required to obtain your voting instructions, we will vote the shares in our own right. Only Owners have voting privileges under the Contract. Annuitants, Beneficiaries, Payees and other persons have no voting privileges unless they are also Owners. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 35 We determine your voting interest in an Investment Option as follows. o You are permitted to cast votes based on the dollar value of the Investment Option's shares that we hold for your Contract in the corresponding subaccount. We calculate this value based on the number of Accumulation/Annuity Units allocated to your Contract on the record date and the value of each unit on that date. We count fractional votes. o We will determine the number of shares that you can vote. o You will receive any proxy materials and a form to give us voting instructions as well as periodic reports relating to the Investment Options in which you have an interest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. OUR GENERAL ACCOUNT Our general account consists of all of our assets other than those in our separate accounts. We have complete ownership of all assets in our general account and we use these assets to support our insurance and annuity obligations other than those funded by our separate accounts. These assets are subject to our general liabilities from business operations. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment of the assets of our general account. We have not registered our general account as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, nor have we registered interests in our general account under the Securities Act of 1933. As a result, the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to our general account. Currently, the only general account Investment Choices we offer under this Contract during the Accumulation Phase are the Fixed Period Accounts (FPAs). Any amounts you allocate to the FPAs, as well as any amounts we transfer to the FPAs under the Living Guarantees become part of our general account. Additionally, any amounts that you allocate to provide fixed Annuity Payments during the Annuity Phase become part of our general account. We may change the terms of the general account Investment Choices in the future. Please contact us for the most current terms. FIXED PERIOD ACCOUNTS (FPAS) FPAs are a type of Investment Choice available under our general account. We will credit any amount in the FPAs with interest. FPAs are available only during the Accumulation Phase. Money removed from an FPA may be subject to an MVA, which may increase or decrease your Contract Value and/or the amount of the withdrawal or transfer. FPAs have Account Periods of anywhere from one to ten years. An Account Period is the amount of time we expect money to remain in an FPA. Only one FPA of a specific Account Period is available for Purchase Payments or transfers in each Contract Year. You can allocate up to 50% of any Purchase Payment to an FPA. However, in some states the FPAs may only be available for GAV Transfers we make under the Living Guarantees. In addition, under the Living Guarantees we may transfer more than 50% of the total Purchase Payments to the FPAs beginning on the second Contract Anniversary. If you allocate any portion of the initial Purchase Payment to an FPA on the Issue Date, we will apply that amount to an FPA with a ten-year Account Period. We will also apply any additional transfers or portions of Purchase Payments allocated to an FPA during the first Contract Year to this ten-year Account Period. Similarly, a nine-year Account Period is available for allocations in the second Contract Year, an eight-year Account Period is available in the third year, and so on. After the tenth Contract Year, there are five-year rolling Account Periods. In the 11th through the 15th Contract Years, allocations can be made to an FPA with an Account Period equal to one plus the remaining number of complete Contract Years to the end of the 15th Contract Year. For example, in the 11th Contract Year a five-year Account Period is available; in the 12th Contract Year a four-year Account Period is available, and so on until the 16th Contract Year when a new five-year Account Period is again available. Please see the following table for more information. FPA ACCOUNT CONTRACT FPA ACCOUNT CONTRACT FPA ACCOUNT CONTRACT YEAR PERIOD YEAR PERIOD YEAR PERIOD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 10 years 6 5 years 11 5 years 2 9 years 7 4 years 12 4 years 3 8 years 8 3 years 13 3 years 4 7 years 9 2 years 14 2 years 5 6 years 10 1 year 15 1 year -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 36 Allocations to the FPAs are credited with interest rates that vary based on the Account Period and when the allocation was made. Generally, the longer the Account Period, the higher the interest rate. The interest rate on the FPAs will be greater than zero, but it could be less than 1% and it could be less than the interest rate applied to the FPA guaranteed minimum value (see the "Market Value Adjustment (MVA)" discussion later in this section). Generally, the initial interest rate is set on the date the first allocation is made to an FPA and will remain in effect until the second Contract Anniversary following the allocation. On that Contract Anniversary, the amount initially allocated to the FPA (plus interest) is then credited with the interest rate that we declare for all FPAs with the same Account Period and duration. This interest rate remains in effect for that entire Contract Year. On every Contract Anniversary we can set a new rate for the next Contract Year for all FPAs with the same Account Period and duration. For FPAs with a one-year Account Period, the interest rate is set at the start of the Account Period and is effective for any amounts allocated to the FPAs during the Contract Year. The interest rate for new allocations to an FPA may be different from the interest rate declared for amounts already in the FPAs. For example, new transfers to an FPA later in the third Contract Year may receive a different interest rate than the rate applied to amounts that were allocated to an FPA earlier in that Contract Year. Any withdrawal or transfer (whether through your request or through the GAV Transfers we make to maintain the Living Guarantees) from an FPA may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. Any MVA we make, whether it is upon partial withdrawal/transfer or complete withdrawal/transfer, is also subject to a minimum and a maximum. PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE: Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will take any partial withdrawal proportionately from the Investment Options. If the Contract Value in the Investment Options is less than the partial withdrawal you request, the remaining amount will come from the FPAs subject to the GAV Fixed Account Minimum. We will account for transfers or partial withdrawals from the FPAs on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. That is, a transfer or a partial withdrawal from the FPAs will reduce the Contract Value in the oldest FPA, then the next oldest, and so on. IF YOU ELECT THE LIVING GUARANTEES: Your ability to make transfers and/or partial withdrawals from the FPAs is subject to the GAV Fixed Account Minimum. You can transfer or make a partial withdrawal from the FPAs that would reduce the Fixed Account Value in the FPAs below this minimum by resetting the GAV Benefit (see "The GAV Fixed Account Minimum" and "Resetting the GAV Benefit" discussions in section 6, Guaranteed Account Value (GAV) Benefit). IF YOU DON'T ELECT THE LIVING GUARANTEES: If you request a partial transfer or partial withdrawal from the FPAs and the amount you request to receive is greater than the Fixed Account Value in the FPAs after adjustment for any applicable MVA, we will treat your request as a request for a complete transfer or full withdrawal from the FPAs. Additionally, we will treat any request for a partial withdrawal from the FPAs that would reduce the Fixed Account Value in the FPAs below $1,000 as a request for a full withdrawal from the FPAs. FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED IN MINNESOTA: We hold amounts allocated to the FPAs in a nonunitized separate account that we established under Minnesota insurance law. This separate account provides an additional measure of assurance that we will make full payment of amounts due under the FPAs. State insurance law prohibits us from charging this separate account with the liabilities of any other separate account or of our general business. We own the assets of this separate account as well as any favorable investment performance of those assets. You do not participate in the performance of the assets held in this separate account. We guarantee all benefits relating to your value in the FPAs. This guarantee is based on the continued claims paying ability of Allianz Life. FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED IN ALABAMA, OREGON, PENNSYLVANIA, UTAH AND WASHINGTON: The FPAs are not directly available to you and they are not subject to a Market Value Adjustment. The FPAs are only available to receive GAV Transfers that we make during the Accumulation Phase if your Contract includes the Living Guarantees. You cannot allocate Purchase Payments to the FPAs and you cannot transfer Contract Value to or from the FPAs. You also cannot request withdrawals directly from the FPAs. If your Contract includes Living Guarantees and you request a partial withdrawal, we will take the partial withdrawal proportionately from the Investment Options. If the amount in the Investment Options is less than the partial withdrawal you request, the remaining amount will come from the FPAs on a FIFO basis. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 37 MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (MVA) An MVA is an adjustment we make for transfers or withdrawals from an FPA that occur at any time other than 30 days before the end of an Account Period. There will be no MVA for transfers or withdrawals that occur within 30 days before the end of the Account Period. The end of the Account Period will first occur on your tenth Contract Anniversary and then on every fifth Contract Anniversary after that (for example, the 15th Contract Anniversary, the 20th Contract Anniversary, etc.). You will receive a notice mailed at least 30 days in advance of the period in which we will not apply an MVA. We will allocate any amounts (including the GAV Fixed Account Minimum, if applicable) for which we have not received instructions at the end of the Account Period to another FPA with a five-year Account Period. We also will not apply MVAs to amounts withdrawn for withdrawal charges, the contract maintenance charge, deductions we make to reimburse ourselves for premium taxes that we pay, death claims, or for amounts you receive if you return the Contract under the free look/right to examine provision. We determine any withdrawal charges based on market value adjusted withdrawals. Upon a transfer or withdrawal of Contract Value in the FPAs, we will apply the MVA to the amount of the withdrawal or transfer. At the time of transfer or withdrawal, the MVA formula compares the interest rate that applies to the FPA from which amounts are being removed to the current interest rate offered on new allocations to an FPA of the same Account Period. An MVA can be either positive or negative depending on the interest rate currently offered on an FPA as shown in the following table. Any MVA we make, whether it is upon partial withdrawal/transfer or complete withdrawal/transfer, is also subject to a minimum and a maximum. IF THE INTEREST RATE ON THE FPA FROM WHICH THEN THE AMOUNTS ARE BEING REMOVED IS... MVA IS... Less than the current interest rate for new allocations to an FPA of the same Account Period negative Equal to the current interest rate for new allocations to an FPA of the same Account Period zero Greater than the current interest rate for new allocations to an FPA of the same Account Period positive The MVA formula is [(1+I) / (1+J)]N where: I = Current interest rate earned in the FPA from which amounts are being transferred or withdrawn. J = Current interest rate for new allocations to an FPA with an Account Period equal to the remaining term (rounded up) in the current Account Period. N = Number of days from the date of transfer/withdrawal from the FPA to the next Contract Anniversary divided by 365, plus the number of whole years remaining in the Account Period. The MVA is also subject to a minimum and a maximum. The minimum and maximum apply upon partial withdrawal/transfer or complete withdrawal/transfer. The MVA minimum is equal to the greater of (a) or (b), with the result then divided by (c), where: (a) = The FPA guaranteed minimum value. (b) = All allocations to the FPAs less previous partial withdrawals (including any withdrawal charges) and transfers from the FPAs. (c) = The Fixed Account Value. The MVA maximum is equal to (a) divided by the greater of (b) or (c), where: (a) = The Fixed Account Value. (b) = The FPA guaranteed minimum value. (c) = All allocations to the FPAs, less previous partial withdrawals (including any withdrawal charges) and transfers from the FPAs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 38 THE FPA GUARANTEED MINIMUM VALUE IS EQUAL TO: o 87.5% of all allocations to the FPAs, less all partial withdrawals (including any withdrawal charges) and transfers from the FPAs, accumulated at the FPA guaranteed minimum value interest rate (which is also the state nonforfeiture rate) specified in the Contract (which is currently 1%-3% depending on your state). PLUS o Upon a full withdrawal, the amount of the withdrawal charge that we assign to the FPAs. We base this amount on the percentage of Contract Value in the FPAs (for example, if 25% of the Contract Value is in the FPAs, then upon a full withdrawal we would assign 25% of any withdrawal charge to the FPAs). All previous partial withdrawals and transfers in this calculation of the FPA guaranteed minimum value do not reflect any MVA. MVA EXAMPLES The following examples show the effect of the MVA on a Contract. o You purchase a February 2007 Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 on January 1. You do not select the Living Guarantees. The FPA guaranteed minimum value interest rate is 3%. o You allocate $10,000 to an FPA with a ten-year Account Period and an interest rate of 6%. o You make no additional Purchase Payments. o On July 1 of your sixth Contract Year, your Fixed Account Value in the FPA is $13,774.58. The sixth Contract Year is not a leap year. o The withdrawal charge period for your initial Purchase Payment has not expired by the sixth Contract Year, so there will be a withdrawal charge of 4% on Purchase Payments withdrawn from the Contract during the sixth Contract Year. o The Contract Value on the day of (but before) the withdrawal in the sixth Contract Year is $137,745.77. The partial withdrawal privilege for the sixth Contract Year is 12% of total Purchase Payments = 12% x $100,000 = $12,000. The withdrawal charge for full withdrawals during the sixth Contract Year is 4% of total Purchase Payments = 4% x $100,000 = $4,000. The percentage of Contract Value in the FPAs in the sixth Contract Year = $13,774.58 / $137,745.77 = 10%. The FPA guaranteed minimum value on July 1 of the sixth Contract Year is equal to:
87.5% of all allocations to the FPAs less partial withdrawals and transfers accumulated at the FPA guaranteed minimum value interest rate for 5 years and 181 days = ((87.5% x $10,000) - $0) x 1.03 ((181/365) + 5) =...................................................$10,293.43 PLUS Upon full withdrawal, the amount of the withdrawal charge that we assign to the FPAs (which is the percentage of Contract Value in the FPAs) = 10% x $4,000 =..................................................+ 400.00 ------------- $10,693.43 The MVA minimum on July 1 of the sixth Contract Year is equal to: The greater of (a) the FPA guaranteed minimum value, or (b) all allocations to the FPAs less partial withdrawals and transfers, divided by (c) the Fixed Account Value = $10,693.43 / $13,774.58 =......................................................0.776136 The MVA maximum on July 1 of the sixth Contract Year is equal to: (a) The Fixed Account Value divided by the greater of (b) the FPA guaranteed minimum value, or (c) all allocations to the FPAs less partial withdrawals and transfers = $13,774.58 / $10,693.43 =...................................................................................................1.288135
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 39 EXAMPLE OF A POSITIVE MVA ON FULL WITHDRAWAL FROM THE FIXED PERIOD ACCOUNT ON JULY 1 OF THE SIXTH CONTRACT YEAR: Assume that the current interest rate for an FPA with a five-year Account Period is 5%. The MVA on July 1 of the sixth Contract Year is: [1.06 / 1.05] ((184/365) + 4) = 1.043618. Because the MVA is less than the MVA maximum (1.288135), we will use the MVA to calculate the amount of the withdrawal after application of the MVA, which is $13,774.58 x 1.043618 = $14,375.39. Next we compute the withdrawal charge. The partial withdrawal privilege allows you to withdraw $12,000 per Contract Year without incurring a withdrawal charge. The amount of the withdrawal subject to the withdrawal charge = $14,375.39 - $12,000 = $2,375.39. The amount of the withdrawal charge = $2,375.39 x 4% = $95.02. In other words, the amount we would withdraw from the FPA is $13,774.58, and the amount you would receive after application of the MVA and deduction of the withdrawal charge = $14,375.39 - $95.02 = $14,280.37. EXAMPLE OF A NEGATIVE MVA ON A PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OR TRANSFER FROM A FIXED PERIOD ACCOUNT ON JULY 1 OF THE SIXTH CONTRACT YEAR: Assume that the current interest rate for an FPA with a five-year Account Period is 7%. You request a partial withdrawal of $4,000 from the FPA. The MVA on July 1 of the sixth Contract Year is: [1.06 / 1.07] ((184/365) + 4) = 0.958589. Because the MVA is more than the MVA minimum (0.776136), we will use the MVA to calculate the amount we will withdraw from the FPA in order to send you a check for $4,000 after we apply the MVA. The amount we would withdraw from the FPA is: $4,000 / 0.958589 = $4,172.80. Next, we would compute the withdrawal charge. Because the partial withdrawal privilege allows you to withdraw $12,000 per Contract Year without incurring a withdrawal charge, there will be no withdrawal charge for this partial withdrawal. In other words, we would withdraw $4,172.80 from the FPA, and you would receive $4,000 after application of the MVA. If you had instead requested we transfer $4,000 from the FPA to the Investment Option(s), we would apply the MVA to the amount transferred, instead of applying the MVA to the Fixed Account Value in the FPA. The amount we would transfer into the Investment Options is: $4,000 x 0.958589 = $3,834.36. In other words, we would transfer $4,000 out of the FPA, and we would transfer $3,834.36 into your selected Investment Option(s). NOTE REGARDING APPLICATION OF MVAS TO GAV TRANSFERS: We will not apply MVAs to GAV Transfers out of the FPAs initiated by us, effective for all Contracts issued on or after December 1, 2006 or such later date as this change is approved in your state. For Contracts issued before this date, you can opt out of having MVAs applied to GAV Transfers from the FPAs. An opt out will be effective as of the Business Day your request is received in good order at our Service Center. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. GUARANTEED ACCOUNT VALUE (GAV) BENEFIT Your Separate Account Value will increase or decrease depending on the performance of the underlying Investment Options you selected. Depending on market conditions, you can gain or lose value in the Investment Options, including your principal. However, for Contracts with the Living Guarantees, the GAV Benefit is intended to provide a level of protection for the principal you invested five or more years ago and to lock in any investment gains from five or more Contract Anniversaries ago. At Contract issue, you can select either a Contract with Living Guarantees or a Contract without Living Guarantees. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE A SELECTION, THE LIVING GUARANTEES WILL APPLY TO YOUR CONTRACT. AFTER THE ISSUE DATE, THE LIVING GUARANTEES CANNOT BE ADDED TO OR REMOVED FROM YOUR CONTRACT. If you select a Contract with the Living Guarantees, your Contract will provide a long term GAV Benefit during the Accumulation Phase. There are no additional fees or charges for the Living Guarantees. To maintain the guarantee, we will periodically transfer amounts between your selected Investment Options and the FPAs according to a mathematical model (see the "GAV Transfers" discussion later in this section). The GAV Benefit guarantees that, beginning on your fifth Contract Anniversary (and on each subsequent Contract Anniversary until the Income Date that you take a Full Annuitization or Contract termination) your Contract Value will at least equal the GAV established five years ago, less all GAV adjusted partial withdrawals taken in the last five years. If your Contract Value is less than this guaranteed amount on the fifth and each subsequent Contract Anniversary, we will make a payment to your Contract equal to that difference. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY PROTECTION UNDER THE GAV BENEFIT UNLESS YOU HOLD THE CONTRACT FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS. YOUR PURCHASE PAYMENTS ARE NOT PROTECTED UNDER THE GAV BENEFIT UNTIL WE HAVE HAD THEM FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS. IF YOU THINK THAT YOU MAY TERMINATE THE CONTRACT OR TAKE A FULL ANNUITIZATION BEFORE YOU HAVE HELD THE CONTRACT FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHETHER PURCHASING THIS CONTRACT WITH THE LIVING GUARANTEES IS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST. Assuming no partial withdrawals, the GAV Benefit has the effect of guaranteeing that, beginning with your fifth Contract Anniversary (and on each subsequent anniversary until the Income Date that you take a Full Annuitization or Contract termination), your Contract Value will be at least equal to the initial GAV, or the GAV from any Contract Anniversary that occurred at least five years ago. This type of guarantee is sometimes referred to as a "high water mark." For example, assuming no withdrawals, on your 12th Contract Anniversary, the GAV Benefit guarantees that your Contract Value will be at least the highest GAV established on the Issue Date, or on any Contract Anniversary, up to and including, the seventh Contract Anniversary, that is, the "high water mark" from that period. HOWEVER, THE GAV BENEFIT DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION UNTIL THE FIFTH CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY. IN ADDITION THE GAV DOES NOT LOCK IN ANY GAINS UNTIL FIVE YEARS AFTER THEY OCCUR, AND THE GAV DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK IN ANY GAINS THAT OCCUR BETWEEN ANNIVERSARIES. As noted above, if on a Contract Anniversary, your Contract Value is less than the GAV established five years ago, we will pay into your Contract an amount equal to that difference. We will allocate this amount to your Investment Options in proportion to the amount of Separate Account Value in each of the Investment Options on the date of allocation. We refer to the application of this payment as a "True Up." Because the True Ups increase your Contract Value, they will also increase the total dollar amount (but not the percentage) of the M&E charge you pay. AN ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PAYMENT WILL IMMEDIATELY INCREASE YOUR CONTRACT VALUE, BUT DOES NOT BECOME PART OF THE VALUE GUARANTEED BY THE GAV BENEFIT UNTIL IT IS AT LEAST FIVE YEARS OLD. THEREFORE, A LARGE ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PAYMENT MAY DIMINISH THE ADVANTAGE OF THE GAV BENEFIT BY DECREASING THE LIKELIHOOD THAT YOU WOULD RECEIVE A TRUE UP TO YOUR CONTRACT. For example, if on the fifth Contract Anniversary your Contract Value is less than the GAV from five years ago, then we True Up your Contract Value to equal that GAV. If, however, you made a large additional Purchase Payment in the fourth Contract Year that increases your Contract Value on the fifth Contract Anniversary so that it is greater than the GAV from five years ago, then we would not make a True Up to your Contract. To get the maximum benefit from this guarantee, you may want to consider purchasing a new Contract with the additional Purchase Payment. This example assumes you take no partial withdrawals. Any withdrawals you take may reduce the GAV by an amount greater than the withdrawal itself. IF THE CONTRACT VALUE AT THE TIME OF WITHDRAWAL IS GREATER THAN THE GAV, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 41 THE GAV WILL BE REDUCED BY THE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF THE WITHDRAWAL. IF THE CONTRACT VALUE AT THE TIME OF WITHDRAWAL IS LESS THAN THE GAV, THE GAV WILL BE REDUCED BY MORE THAN THE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. NOTE: YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO TAKE A FULL ANNUITIZATION OF YOUR CONTRACT ON OR BEFORE THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED INCOME DATE. (For more information see section 2, The Annuity Phase.) Upon such a Full Annuitization the FPAs will no longer be available to you and you will no longer receive any True Ups under the Living Guarantees. CALCULATING THE GAV The initial GAV is equal to all Purchase Payments received during the first 90 days of your Contract, less any GAV adjusted partial withdrawals taken during this period. Adjusted partial withdrawals include withdrawals and any amounts applied to Partial Annuitizations. Additional Purchase Payments will increase the GAV on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but partial withdrawals and Partial Annuitizations will decrease the GAV proportionately. We also recalculate the GAV on every Contract Anniversary as follows. On the first Contract Anniversary, the GAV is equal to the greater of A or B, where: A = The initial GAV, plus any additional Purchase Payments received during the remainder of the first Contract Year and minus any GAV adjusted partial withdrawals taken during the remainder of the first Contract Year. B = Your Contract Value on the first Contract Anniversary. On the second and any subsequent Contract Anniversaries, the GAV is equal to the greater of C or D, where: C = The GAV from the previous Contract Anniversary plus any additional Purchase Payments received in the previous Contract Year and minus any GAV adjusted partial withdrawals taken in the previous Contract Year. D = Your Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary. For each withdrawal or traditional Partial Annuitization taken before the second Contract Anniversary, a GAV adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: A X B For each withdrawal or traditional Partial Annuitization taken on or after the second Contract Anniversary, a GAV adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: C + (D X B)
For GMIB Partial Annuitizations, a GAV adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: GMIBPA X GAV1 --------------------- GMIB
(A) = The amount of Contract Value (before any MVA) applied to a traditional Partial Annuitization or withdrawn (including any applicable withdrawal charge). (B) = The greater of one, or the ratio of (e) divided by (f) where: (e) = The GAV on the day of (but before) the traditional Partial Annuitization or partial withdrawal. (f) = The Contract Value on the day of (but before) the traditional Partial Annuitization or partial withdrawal, adjusted for any applicable MVA. (C = The amount of the partial withdrawal (before any MVA) that, together with any other previous partial withdrawals (before any MVA) taken during the Contract Year, does not exceed 12% of total Purchase Payments received (the partial withdrawal privilege). However, if you take a traditional Partial Annuitization, the entire amount of any Contract Value (before any MVA) applied to the traditional Partial Annuitization will be included in part (d) of this formula. (D) = The remaining amount of the partial withdrawal, including any applicable withdrawal charge, but before any MVA. GMIBPA = The amount of any GMIB value applied to a GMIB Partial Annuitization. GMIB = The GMIB value on the day of (but before) the GMIB Partial Annuitization. GAV1 = The GAV on the day of (but before) the GMIB Partial Annuitization. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 42 GAV EXAMPLE o You purchase a February 2007 Contract and select the Living Guarantees. You make only one initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. You make no additional Purchase Payments. Therefore, the calculations of the GAV that follows will not include reference to additional Purchase Payments. o You take no partial withdrawals or Partial Annuitizations. Therefore, the calculations of the GAV that follows will only take into account the previous GAV and the current Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary. For information on how these calculation would be effected by a partial withdrawal, please see Appendix D. o The Contract Value on the first Contract Anniversary is $120,000; on the second Contract Anniversary it is $115,000; on the third Contract Anniversary it is $119,000; and on the fourth Contract Anniversary it is $121,000.
The initial GAV......................................................................$100,000 The GAV on the first Contract Anniversary equals the greater of: (A) the initial GAV, which is the initial Purchase Payment of $100,000; or (B) the Contract Value on the first Contract Anniversary, which is $120,000..........$120,000 The GAV on the second Contract Anniversary equals the greater of: (C) the GAV from the first Contract Anniversary ($120,000); or (D) the Contract Value on the second Contract Anniversary, which is $115,000......................$120,000 The GAV on the third Contract Anniversary equals the greater of: (C) the GAV from the second Contract Anniversary ($120,000); or (D) the Contract Value on the third Contract Anniversary, which is $119,000.......................$120,000 The GAV on the fourth Contract Anniversary equals the greater of: (C) the GAV from the third Contract Anniversary ($120,000); or (D) the Contract Value on the third Contract Anniversary, which is $121,000.......................$121,000
APPLYING THE GAV BENEFIT o On the fifth Contract Anniversary the Contract Value is $105,000. The initial GAV established five years ago is $100,000. The fifth anniversary Contract Value is greater than the initial GAV, so there is no True Up on the fifth Contract Anniversary. o On the sixth Contract Anniversary the Contract Value is $108,000. The GAV established five years ago on the first Contract Anniversary is $120,000. The sixth anniversary Contract Value is less than the GAV from the first Contract Anniversary, so we will True Up the Contract Value to equal this amount by applying $12,000 to the Investment Options on the sixth Contract Anniversary. o On the seventh Contract Anniversary the Contract Value is $122,000. The GAV from five years ago (the second Contract Anniversary) is $120,000. The seventh anniversary Contract Value is greater than the GAV established five years ago on the second Contract Anniversary so there is no True Up on the seventh Contract Anniversary.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 43 GAV TRANSFERS There is no additional charge for the GAV Benefit. However, to make this guarantee available, we monitor your Contract daily as it relates to the GAV and periodically transfer amounts between your selected Investment Options and the FPAs (GAV Transfers). You will still have complete discretion over the selection of and allocation to the Investment Options for any portion of your Contract Value that is not required to be in the FPAs. Selecting Investment Options that have a higher volatility is likely to result in changes to Contract Value that, if negative, will, in turn increase the amount and/or frequency of GAV Transfers to the FPAs. We will transfer amounts between the Investment Options and the FPAs according to a mathematical model. This mathematical model will not change once you purchase a Contract, but we may use a different model for Contracts we issue in the future. We will transfer amounts to the FPAs proportionately from all of your selected Investment Options. GAV Transfers from the FPAs to the Investment Options will be allocated according to your most recent allocation instructions. During the first two Contract Years, the Fixed Account Value immediately after any GAV Transfer to the FPAs is limited to 50% of total Purchase Payments received, but we may transfer more than 50% of your total Purchase Payments to the FPAs beginning on the second Contract Anniversary. GAV Transfers are not subject to any transfer fee and do not count against any free transfers we allow. The mathematical model we use to determine GAV Transfers includes a number of interrelated factors. The following table sets forth the most influential of these factors and indicates how each one by itself could trigger a GAV Transfer. CHANGE IN ONE FACTOR, ASSUMING ALL OTHER FACTORS REMAIN CONSTANT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FACTOR DIRECTION OF THE GAV TRANSFER ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Contract Value increases To the Investment Options GAV increases To the FPAS Credited interest rate on the FPAs increases To the Investment Options Time until application of the GAV Benefit decreases To the FPAS The amount of the GAV Transfer will vary depending on the magnitude and direction of the change in these factors and their impact on your Contract Value. Most importantly, GAV Transfers out of the Investment Options into the FPAs occur as the Contract Value falls relative to the GAV. GAV Transfers to the FPAs generally first occur when the Contract Value drops below the most recently established GAV by an amount that typically ranges between 1% to 4%. If the Contract Value continues to fall, more GAV Transfers to the FPAs will occur. The amount of the first GAV Transfer to the FPAs will typically be significant, and will involve a transfer to the FPAs of an amount that ranges between 39% and 44% of your Contract Value. Subsequent transfer amounts to the FPAs typically range between 6% and 10% of your Contract Value. Concentrating Contract Value in Investment Options with higher volatility is likely to result in greater changes in Contract Value relative to the GAV. If those changes are negative, they would, in turn, result in higher amounts of and/or more frequent GAV Transfers to the FPAs. In addition, as the time remaining until application of the GAV True Up shortens, the frequency and amount of GAV Transfers to the FPAs will increase, particularly in poorly performing markets. Transactions you make may also affect the number of GAV Transfers including: o additional Purchase Payments, o partial withdrawals, and o Partial Annuitizations. Additional Purchase Payments, withdrawals and Partial Annuitizations will change the Contract Value relative to the GAV, and may result in additional GAV Transfers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 44 When a GAV Transfer occurs, we allocate the transferred Contract Value to the available FPA. In general, the Contract Value allocated to the FPA will remain in the FPA until the performance of your Investment Options recovers sufficiently to support the guarantees provided by the GAV Benefit. It can be expected that, in some instances, Contract Value will transfer out of the FPAs more slowly than it was transferred in, particularly as the time until the application of the GAV True Up shortens. As this time shortens: o GAV Transfers to the FPAs become more likely, and o Contract Value relative to the GAV must increase in order for GAV Transfers from the FPAs to occur. After the second Contract Anniversary, it is possible that substantially all of your Contract Value (for example, more than 95%) will be in the FPAs, especially approaching a Contract Anniversary when we may need to True Up your Contract Value to equal the GAV. This can be true even if your Contract Value exceeds the GAV. THE DAILY REBALANCING FORMULA UNDER THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL: As noted above, to limit our exposure under the GAV Benefit, we transfer Contract Value from the Investment Options to the FPAs, to the extent called for by a mathematical model that will not change once you purchase the Contract. We do this in order to minimize the need to provide a True Up (for example, we will pay into your Contract an amount by which the Contract Value falls short of the GAV as of the Contract Anniversary date when that GAV becomes available), or to reduce the amount of any True Up that is required. (Generally, amounts allocated to the Investment Options have a greater potential for gain or loss than amounts allocated to the FPAs.) We will determine a GAV for each Contract Anniversary and we may need to provide a True Up to any GAV five or more Contract Years after it was established. When a True Up becomes more likely, including when your Contract Value is less than any GAV, the mathematical model will tend to allocate more Contract Value to the FPAs. If, on the other hand, the Contract Value is much higher than each of these GAVs, then a True Up may not be necessary, and therefore, the mathematical model will tend to allocate more Contract Value to the Investment Options. Each Business Day the mathematical model computes a "target allocation," which is the portion of the Contract Value that is to be allocated to the Investment Options. The target allocation depends on several factors - the Owner's current Contract Value as compared to the Owner's GAV, the time until the GAV becomes available, and the rate credited to the FPAs. However, as time passes, these factors change. Therefore, the target allocation changes from one Business Day to the next. The mathematical model could theoretically call for a daily reallocation of Contract Value so that the Owner's actual allocation between the Investment Options and FPAs always equals that Owner's target allocation. However, to avoid the constant reallocations that this approach would require, the model calls for a rebalancing only when the target allocation differs sufficiently from a "baseline allocation," which is the target allocation determined at issue or upon the most recent GAV Transfer. In other words, at issue, the target and baseline allocations are the same; on each Business Day going forward the target allocation will change with the Contract's changing characteristics, while the baseline allocation will not change until the first GAV Transfer. When the target allocation to the Investment Options differs from the baseline allocation to the Investment Options by more than a specified margin, a GAV Transfer takes place that makes the Owner's actual allocation equal to the target allocation, and the mathematical model establishes a new baseline allocation to the Investment Options equal to the target allocation at the time of the transfer for use in future comparisons. In practice, we find that for a newly-issued Contract, no GAV Transfer to the FPAs will occur until the target allocation to the Investment Options has fallen to about 60% of Contract Value. Therefore, the initial GAV Transfer will transfer enough Contract Value so that approximately 40% of the Contract Value will be in the FPAs after the GAV Transfer. Once the first GAV Transfer has occurred, if the target allocation to the Investment Options rises above the baseline allocation by more than the specified margin, a GAV Transfer will transfer Contract Value from the FPAs to the Investment Options. If the target allocation to the Investment Options falls below the baseline allocation by more than the specified margin, the GAV Transfer will transfer Contract Value from the Investment Options to the FPAs. As with the initial GAV Transfer, a subsequent GAV Transfer results in the establishment of a new baseline allocation equal to the target allocation at the time of the transfer for use in future comparisons. In practice, we find that GAV Transfers after the first typically range between 6% and 10% of the Contract Value. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 45 The specified margin is set on the Issue Date and cannot be changed for the life of a Contract. (We may, however, change the specified margin for Contracts that we issue in the future.) See the SAI for more detail regarding the workings of the mathematical model, including the formula used to compute the target allocation on a daily basis. WE WILL TRANSFER CONTRACT VALUE FROM THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS TO THE FPAS, AND FROM THE FPAS TO THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS, ACCORDING TO THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE LIVING GUARANTEES. YOU SHOULD VIEW THE GAV BENEFIT AS A WAY TO PERMIT YOU TO INVEST IN THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL, WHILE STILL HAVING YOUR PRINCIPAL AND SOME OF YOUR INVESTMENT GAINS PROTECTED TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY THE GAV BENEFIT. YOU SHOULD NOT VIEW THE GAV BENEFIT AS A "MARKET TIMING" OR OTHER TYPE OF INVESTMENT PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ENHANCE YOUR EARNINGS UNDER THE CONTRACT. IF WE MAKE TRANSFERS FROM YOUR CHOSEN INVESTMENT OPTIONS TO THE FPAS DURING A MARKET DOWNTURN, LESS (OR POTENTIALLY NONE) OF YOUR CONTRACT VALUE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY UPSIDE POTENTIAL OF THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS IF THERE IS A SUBSEQUENT RECOVERY. THIS MEANS THAT IF MOST OR ALL OF YOUR CONTRACT VALUE IS ALLOCATED TO THE FPAS, A SUBSEQUENT MARKET RECOVERY WILL BENEFIT ONLY THAT PORTION, IF ANY, OF YOUR CONTRACT VALUE WHICH REMAINS IN THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS. IF A RECOVERY IS SUSTAINED ENOUGH TO RESULT IN AMOUNTS BEING TRANSFERRED BACK FROM THE FPAS INTO YOUR SELECTED INVESTMENT OPTIONS, PROGRESSIVELY MORE OF YOUR CONTRACT VALUE MAY BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RECOVERY, BUT THE CONTRACT VALUE AS A WHOLE WILL ALWAYS RECOVER MORE SLOWLY THAN HAD IT BEEN MORE FULLY ALLOCATED TO THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS. THIS MAY POTENTIALLY PROVIDE LESS CONTRACT VALUE TO YOU THAN IF YOUR CONTRACT DID NOT INCLUDE THE LIVING GUARANTEES. THE GAV FIXED ACCOUNT MINIMUM The GAV Fixed Account Minimum is the amount we require to be kept in the FPAs to maintain the guarantee protection provided by the GAV Benefit. You can transfer amounts into or out of the FPAs subject to the GAV Fixed Account Minimum. You can only make a transfer or take a partial withdrawal from the FPAs that would reduce the amount in the FPAs below this minimum by resetting the GAV Benefit. If you allocate or transfer amounts to the FPAs, the amounts we need to transfer to the FPAs in order to maintain the guarantee provided by the GAV Benefit will be less. If you withdraw or transfer amounts out of the FPAs (subject to the GAV Fixed Account Minimum), the amounts we need to transfer to the FPAs in order to maintain the guarantee provided by the GAV Benefit will be greater. RESETTING THE GAV BENEFIT FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED IN ALABAMA, OREGON, PENNSYLVANIA, UTAH AND WASHINGTON: The reset feature is not available. You may reset the operation of the GAV Benefit at any time, as long as the reset date is at least 90 days from any earlier reset date and the reset provision is available in your state. Upon a reset, we will transfer 100% of your Contract Value to the Investment Choices on the reset date according to your most recent allocation instructions unless you instruct us otherwise. If you reset the operation of the GAV Benefit, the first Contract Anniversary on which your Contract Value will be guaranteed under the GAV Benefit will be the Contract Anniversary occurring five years after the Contract Anniversary that occurs on or after the reset date. This means that we will not make a True Up to the Contract anytime between the reset date and the sixth Contract Anniversary after the reset date (or the fifth Contract Anniversary if you reset on a Contract Anniversary). The GAV on the reset date is the greater of: o the last GAV calculated before the reset date, plus any additional Purchase Payments received on or after the last GAV calculation, and minus any GAV adjusted partial withdrawals taken on or after that calculation, or o your Contract Value. If your Contract Value on the reset date is less than the GAV at that time, the GAV Transfers to the FPAs will occur more rapidly and at a larger amount than those for a new Contract with a Purchase Payment equal to the Contract Value on the reset date. This occurs because the guarantee available to you on the reset date is larger than the guarantees available for a new Contract. On the Contract Anniversary that occurs on or after the reset date, the new GAV is equal to the greater of: o the GAV established on the reset date, plus any additional Purchase Payments received on or after the reset date, and minus any GAV adjusted partial withdrawals taken on or after the reset date; or o your Contract Value. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 46 On each subsequent Contract Anniversary, the new GAV is calculated as previously described (see the "Calculating the GAV" discussion that appears earlier in this section). OTHER INFORMATION ON THE GAV BENEFIT Once we pay a GAV True Up to your Contract Value as a result of the GAV Benefit, the True Ups become part of your Contract Value and are available for immediate withdrawal. Also, any GAV True Ups will be allocated proportionately to the Investment Options you chose, and will immediately begin to participate in the investment performance of those Investment Options. For tax purposes, your True Up will be treated as earnings under the Contract. However, if your Contract Value at the time of a True Up is less than your net Purchase Payments (total Purchase Payments received less any prior payments withdrawn) then we may treat some or all of the True Up as a Purchase Payment when applying the withdrawal charge if the entire Contract Value is then withdrawn. This is no different than when the Contract Value is less than your net Purchase Payments, but the Contract Value then experiences a gain immediately before you take a complete withdrawal. We assess withdrawal charges against Purchase Payments withdrawn in the manner described in section 7, Expenses - Withdrawal Charge. The GAV Benefit will terminate upon the earliest of the following. o The Income Date that you take a Full Annuitization, INCLUDING A REQUIRED FULL ANNUITIZATION ON THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED INCOME DATE. For more information, see section 2, The Annuity Phase. o Contract termination. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. EXPENSES There are charges and other expenses associated with the Contract that will reduce your investment return. These charges and expenses are described in detail in this section. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK (M&E) CHARGES Each Business Day, during the Accumulation and Annuity Phases, we make a deduction from your Separate Account assets for the mortality and expense risk (M&E) charges. We do this as part of our calculation of the value of the Accumulation and Annuity Units. We calculate the M&E charges as a percentage of the average daily assets invested in a subaccount on an annual basis. The amount of the M&E charge during the Accumulation Phase depends on the benefit options that apply. During the Accumulation Phase, the M&E charges are as follows: M&E CHARGES FEBRUARY 2007 CONTRACT AND ORIGINAL CONTRACT ISSUED ON OR AFTER JUNE 22, 2007 Traditional GMDB 1.25% Enhanced GMDB 1.45% During the Annuity Phase, if you request variable Traditional Annuity Payments, the M&E charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% for a February 2007 Contract and an Original Contract issued on or after June 22, 2007. This expense is equal to the lowest charge because we do not pay a death benefit separate from the benefits provided by the Annuity Option if the Annuitant dies during the Annuity Phase. Because the Contract allows Partial Annuitization, it is possible for different portions of the Contract to be in both the Accumulation and Annuity Phases at the same time. It is also possible to have different M&E charges on different portions of the Contract at the same time if you request a variable traditional Partial Annuitization. These charges compensate us for all the insurance benefits provided by your Contract, for example: o our contractual obligation to make Annuity Payments, o the death benefits, income benefits, withdrawal benefits and Living Guarantees under the Contract, o certain expenses related to the Contract, and o for assuming the risk (expense risk) that the current charges will be insufficient in the future to cover the cost of administering the Contract. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 47 If the M&E charges are sufficient to cover such costs and risks, any excess will be profit to us. We anticipate making such a profit, and using it to cover distribution expenses as well as the cost of providing certain features under the Contract. CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE We deduct $40 from the Contract annually as a contract maintenance charge during the Accumulation and Annuity Phases. The charge is for the expenses associated with the administration and maintenance of the Contract. We deduct this charge on the last day of each Contract Year and we deduct it proportionately from the Investment Options as set out in your Contract. If there is an insufficient amount in the Investment Options, the charge is deducted first from the Investment Options, and any remaining amount is deducted from the FPAs. During the Annuity Phase, we will collect a portion of the charge out of each Annuity Payment. During the Accumulation Phase, we will not deduct this charge if the Contract Value is at least $75,000 at the time we are to deduct the charge. If you own more than one Contract offered under this prospectus, we will determine the total value of all your Contracts. If the total value of all Contracts registered under the same social security number is at least $75,000, we will not assess the contract maintenance charge. We also will waive this charge during the Annuity Phase if the Contract Value on the Income Date is at least $75,000. If you take a full withdrawal from your Contract (other than on a Contract Anniversary), we will deduct the full contract maintenance charge. If the Contract is owned by a non-individual (for example, a qualified plan or trust), we will look to the Annuitant to determine if we will assess the charge. In some states, we are not permitted to assess the contract maintenance charge against the general account Investment Choices, during the Annuity Phase, or both. WITHDRAWAL CHARGE You can take withdrawals from the portion of the Contract that is in the Accumulation Phase. A withdrawal charge applies if all or part of the amount withdrawn is from Purchase Payments we received within seven complete years before the withdrawal. The withdrawal charge compensates us for expenses associated with selling the Contract. We do not assess the withdrawal charge for amounts paid out: as Annuity Payments (including GMIB Payments), as death benefits, under the waiver of withdrawal charge benefits, or as part of a required minimum distribution payment under our minimum distribution program. (For more information, see section 9, Access to Your Money - Waiver of Withdrawal Charge Benefits and The Minimum Distribution Program and Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Payments.) The total amount under your Contract that is subject to a withdrawal charge is the Withdrawal Charge Basis. The Withdrawal Charge Basis is equal to the total Purchase Payments, less any Purchase Payments withdrawn (excluding any penalty-free withdrawals), and less any withdrawal charges. Amounts applied to Partial Annuitizations will reduce each Purchase Payment proportionately by the percentage of Contract Value or GMIB value you annuitize. WE DO NOT REDUCE THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE BASIS FOR ANY PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS. THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU TAKE A FULL WITHDRAWAL WHILE THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE APPLIES AND YOU HAVE TAKEN PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS, YOU MAY BE ASSESSED A WITHDRAWAL CHARGE ON MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU ARE WITHDRAWING. Penalty-free withdrawals include the following amounts: withdrawals under the GWB, withdrawals under the partial withdrawal privilege, withdrawals under the waiver of withdrawal charge benefit, and any amounts paid as part of a required minimum distribution. We also do not adjust the Withdrawal Charge Basis for any gains or losses on your Investment Options. THIS MEANS THAT ON A FULL WITHDRAWAL, IF THE CONTRACT VALUE HAS DECLINED DUE TO POOR PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SELECTED INVESTMENT OPTIONS, THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE MAY BE GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE FOR WITHDRAWAL. BECAUSE WE ASSESS THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE AGAINST THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE BASIS, IN SOME INSTANCES, THE CONTRACT VALUE MAY BE POSITIVE, BUT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A DISTRIBUTION DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. For more information, please see the examples in Appendix G. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 48 For purposes of calculating any withdrawal charge, we withdraw Purchase Payments on a "first-in-first-out" (FIFO) basis and we make withdrawals from your Contract in the following order. 1. First, we withdraw any Purchase Payments that are beyond the withdrawal charge period shown in your Contract (for example, Purchase Payments that we have had for seven or more complete years). We do not assess a withdrawal charge on these Purchase Payments. 2. Then, we withdraw any Purchase Payments that are under the partial withdrawal privilege and we do not assess a withdrawal charge. However, the partial withdrawal privilege is not available if you are taking a full withdrawal. For more information, see section 9, Access to Your Money - Partial Withdrawal Privilege. 3. Next, on a FIFO basis, we withdraw Purchase Payments that are within the withdrawal charge period shown in your Contract. We do assess a withdrawal charge on these Purchase Payments, but we withdraw them on a FIFO basis, which may help reduce the total withdrawal charge you will pay because the withdrawal charge declines over time. We determine your total withdrawal charge by multiplying each of these payments by the applicable withdrawal charge percentage and then totaling the charges. 4. Finally, we withdraw any Contract earnings. We do not assess a withdrawal charge on Contract earnings. We consider any True Ups we make to your Contract Value under the GAV Benefit to be earnings. However, if the Contract Value at the time of a True Up is less than your net Purchase Payments (total Purchase Payments received less any prior payments withdrawn) some or all of the True Up may, in effect, be treated as a Purchase Payment when applying the withdrawal charge if the entire Contract Value is then withdrawn. For more information see section 6, Guaranteed Account Value (GAV) Benefit - Other Information on the GAV Benefit. We keep track of each Purchase Payment we receive. The amount of the withdrawal charge depends upon the length of time since we received your Purchase Payment. The charge as a percentage of each Purchase Payment withdrawn is as follows. NUMBER OF COMPLETE YEARS SINCE WE RECEIVED YOUR PURCHASE PAYMENT CHARGE 0 8% 1 8%* 2 7% 3 6% 4 5% 5 4% 6 3% 7 years or more 0% * 7.5% in Alabama, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah and Washington. After we have had a Purchase Payment for seven complete years, there is no charge when you withdraw that Purchase Payment. However, withdrawals from the FPAs may be subject to an MVA. We calculate the withdrawal charge at the time of each withdrawal. For a full withdrawal, we will deduct the withdrawal charge as a percentage of the amount withdrawn. For a partial withdrawal that is subject to a withdrawal charge, the amount we deduct from your Contract will be the amount you request, plus any applicable withdrawal charge. We apply the withdrawal charge to this total amount and we pay you the amount you requested. For partial withdrawals, we deduct the charge from the Contract Value and we deduct it proportionately from the Investment Options. However, if there is not enough Contract Value in the Investment Options, we will deduct the remaining amount of the charge proportionately from any other available Investment Choices. Partial withdrawals from a general account Investment Choice may involve an MVA, which may increase or decrease your Contract Value and/or the proceeds you receive. EXAMPLE: You purchase a February 2007 Contract with the Living Guarantees. You make an initial Purchase Payment of $30,000 and make another Purchase Payment in the first month of the second Contract Year of $70,000. In the third month of the third Contact Year, your Contract Value is $110,000 and you request a withdrawal of $52,000. There is no MVA at the time of the withdrawal. We would withdraw money from the Contract Value and compute the withdrawal charge as follows. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 49 1) Purchase Payments that are beyond the withdrawal charge period. All payments are still within the withdrawal charge period so this does not apply. 2) Amounts available under the partial withdrawal privilege. You have not taken any other withdrawals this year so you can withdraw up to 12% of your total payments (or $12,000) without incurring a withdrawal charge. 3) Purchase Payments on a FIFO basis. The total amount we deduct from the first Purchase Payment is $30,000, which is subject to a 7% withdrawal charge, and you will receive $27,900. We determine this amount as follows: (AMOUNT WITHDRAWN) X (1 - WITHDRAWAL CHARGE) = THE AMOUNT YOU RECEIVE, OR: $30,000 x 0.930 = $27,900. Next we determine how much we need to deduct from the second Purchase Payment. So far we have deducted $39,900 ($12,000 under the partial withdrawal privilege and $27,900 from the first Purchase Payment), so we would need to deduct $12,100 from the second Purchase Payment to get you the $52,000 you requested. The second Purchase Payment is subject to an 8% withdrawal charge. We calculate the total amount withdrawn and the withdrawal charge you pay on this amount as follows: (THE AMOUNT YOU RECEIVE) / (1 - WITHDRAWAL CHARGE) = AMOUNT WITHDRAWN, OR: $12,100 / 0.920 = $13,152 4) Contract earnings. As we have already withdrawn your requested amount, this does not apply. In total we withdrew $55,152 from your Contract, of which you received $52,000 and paid total withdrawal charges of $3,152. NOTE: WITHDRAWALS MAY HAVE TAX CONSEQUENCES AND, IF TAKEN BEFORE AGE 59 1/2, MAY BE SUBJECT TO A 10% FEDERAL PENALTY TAX. FOR TAX PURPOSES, UNDER NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS, WITHDRAWALS ARE CONSIDERED TO HAVE COME FROM THE LAST MONEY YOU PUT INTO THE CONTRACT. THUS, FOR TAX PURPOSES, EARNINGS ARE CONSIDERED TO COME OUT FIRST. REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE We may reduce or eliminate the amount of the withdrawal charge when the Contract is sold under circumstances that reduce its sales expenses. For example, if there is a large group of individuals that will be purchasing the Contract or if a prospective purchaser already has a relationship with us. We may choose not to deduct a withdrawal charge under a Contract issued to an officer, director, or employee of Allianz Life or any of its affiliates. Also, we may reduce or waive the withdrawal charge when a Contract is sold by a registered representative appointed with Allianz Life to any members of his or her immediate family, and the commission is waived. We require our prior approval for any reduction or elimination of the withdrawal charge. TRANSFER FEE You can currently make 12 free transfers every Contract Year. If you make more than 12 transfers in a Contract Year, we will deduct a transfer fee of $25 for each additional transfer. Currently, we deduct this fee only during the Accumulation Phase, but we reserve the right to deduct it during the Annuity Phase. Transfers from a FPA may be subject to an MVA, which may increase or decrease the value of the Contract and/or the amount transferred. We will deduct the transfer fee from the Investment Choice from which the transfer is made. If you transfer the entire amount in the Investment Choice, then we will deduct the transfer fee from the amount transferred. If you are transferring from multiple Investment Choices, we will treat the transfer as a single transfer and we will deduct any transfer fee proportionately from the Investment Choices if you transfer less than the entire amount that is in the Investment Choice. If the transfer is a GAV Transfer or is made under the dollar cost averaging or flexible rebalancing programs, there is no fee for the transfer and we currently do not count these transfers against any free transfers we allow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 50 PREMIUM TAXES Some states and other governmental entities (for example, municipalities) assess a tax (premium tax) on us based on the amount of Purchase Payments we receive from you. In some states, the tax is based on the amount applied to Annuity Payments. We are responsible for the payment of these taxes. We will make a deduction from your Contract Value equal to the amount we are required to pay for premium tax. Some of these taxes are due on the Issue Date, others are due on the Income Date. It is our current practice not to make deductions from the Contract to reimburse ourselves for the premium taxes that we pay until the earliest of the following: upon the Income Date* if you take a Full Annuitization, the date of full withdrawal from the Contract, or full distribution of the death benefit. We may change this practice in the future and deduct the charge when the tax is due. Premium taxes normally range from 0% to 3.5% of the Purchase Payment, depending on the state or governmental entity. * We do not make deductions to reimburse ourselves for premium taxes from amounts applied to GMIB Payments. INCOME TAXES We reserve the right to deduct from the Contract any income taxes that we may incur because of the Contract. Currently, we are not making any such deductions. INVESTMENT OPTION EXPENSES There are deductions from the assets of the various Investment Options for operating expenses (including management fees) that are described in the Fee Tables and in the table of annual operating expenses for each Investment Option in Appendix A in this prospectus and in the prospectuses for the Investment Options. These charges apply during the Accumulation and Annuity Phases if you make allocations to the Investment Options. These expenses will reduce the performance of the Investment Options and, therefore, will negatively affect your Contract Value and the amounts available for withdrawals and Annuity Payments. They may also negatively impact the death benefit proceeds. The investment advisers for the Investment Options provided the fee and expense information and we did not independently verify it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. TAXES NOTE: WE HAVE PREPARED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON TAXES AS A GENERAL DISCUSSION OF THE SUBJECT. THE CONTRACT OFFERS FLEXIBILITY REGARDING HOW DISTRIBUTIONS CAN BE TAKEN. NOT ALL OF THESE DISTRIBUTIONS (OR THEIR ATTENDANT TAX CONSEQUENCES) ARE DISCUSSED IN THIS SECTION. THIS INFORMATION IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE. YOU SHOULD, THEREFORE, CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISER ABOUT YOUR OWN CIRCUMSTANCES. WE HAVE INCLUDED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING TAXES IN THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE TAXATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS MADE UNDER A PARTIAL ANNUITIZATION, SEE SECTION 2, THE ANNUITY PHASE - PARTIAL ANNUITIZATION. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE "TAXATION OF GMIB PAYMENTS," SEE SECTION 2, THE ANNUITY PHASE. ANNUITY CONTRACTS IN GENERAL Annuity contracts are a means of setting aside money for future needs - usually retirement. Congress recognized how important saving for retirement was and provided special rules in the Internal Revenue Code (Code) for annuities. These rules generally provide that you will not be taxed on any earnings on the money held in your annuity until you take the money out. This is called tax deferral. There are different rules regarding how you will be taxed, depending upon how you take the money out and whether the annuity is Qualified or Non-Qualified (see the following discussion in this section). If you do not purchase the Contract under a tax qualified retirement plan, the Contract is referred to as a Non-Qualified Contract. When a Non-Qualified Contract is owned by a non-individual (for example, a corporation or certain other entities other than a trust holding the Contract as an agent for an individual), the Contract will generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes. This means that the Contract may not receive the benefits of tax deferral and Contract earnings may be taxed as ordinary income every year. QUALIFIED CONTRACTS If you purchase the Contract under a pension or retirement plan that is qualified under the Code, the Contract is referred to as a Qualified Contract. Qualified Contracts are subject to special rules. Adverse tax consequences may result if contributions, distributions, and transactions in connection with the Qualified Contract do not comply with the law. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 51 A Qualified Contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral if it is used to fund a qualified plan that is tax deferred. However, the Contract has features and benefits other than tax deferral that may make it an appropriate investment for a qualified plan. You should consult your tax adviser regarding these features and benefits before purchasing a Qualified Contract. We may issue the following types of Qualified Contracts. o TRADITIONAL INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITY. Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to maintain Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs). IRA contributions are limited each year to the lesser of a dollar amount specified in the Code or 100% of the amount of compensation included in the Owner's income. The limit on the amount contributed to an IRA does not apply to distributions from certain other types of qualified plans that are "rolled over" on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA. Purchasers of a Contract for use with IRAs will have the right to revoke their purchase within seven days of the earlier of the establishment of the IRA or their purchase. o SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION (SEP) IRA. Employers may establish Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs under Code Section 408(k) to provide IRA contributions on behalf of their employees. In addition to all of the general rules governing IRAs, such plans are subject to additional requirements and different contribution limits. o ROTH IRA. Section 408A of the Code permits certain eligible individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA are limited each year to the lesser of a dollar amount specified in the Code or 100% of the amount of compensation included in the Owner's income and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA. Distributions from a Roth IRA generally are not taxed until after the total amount distributed from the Roth IRA exceeds the amount contributed to the Roth IRA. After that, income tax and a 10% federal penalty tax may apply to distributions made: (1) before age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions), or (2) during the five tax years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to any Roth IRA. o TSAS OR 403(B) CONTRACTS. Section 403(b) of the Code allows employees of certain Section 501(c)(3) organizations and public schools to exclude from their gross income the purchase payments made, within certain limits, on a contract that will provide an annuity for the employee's retirement. As a result of changes to the regulations regarding 403(b)/TSA contracts which requires information sharing agreements between the financial organization or insurance company and employers sponsoring 403(b)/TSA plans, these plans are no longer offered with this Contract. However, that may change in the future. o INHERITED IRA. The Code permits beneficiaries of investments that were issued under certain tax-qualified pension or retirement plans to directly transfer the death benefit from that investment into a variable annuity contract (Inherited IRA Contract). If we make this Contract available as an Inherited IRA Contract, the beneficiary of the previous tax-qualified investment will become the Owner of the new Inherited IRA Contract. The ownership of the Contract must also reflect the name of the previous deceased owner. The purpose of the Inherited IRA Contract is to allow the Owner to change the investment vehicle to an annuity and receive required minimum distribution withdrawal payments instead of receiving a lump sum death benefit payment. If we make this Contract available as an Inherited IRA Contract, the death benefit proceeds must be directly transferred into this Contract; they cannot be received by the beneficiary and then applied to the Contract. A beneficiary can apply the death benefit proceeds from multiple tax-qualified investments that were owned by the same owner to the purchase of an Inherited IRA Contract. We will not accept any other forms of Purchase Payment on an Inherited IRA Contract. We permit you to add enhanced optional benefits to an Inherited IRA Contract. We currently believe this is allowable because enhanced optional benefits can be added to traditional IRA plans. However, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has not yet issued any rulings on this issue with respect to Inherited IRA Contracts. Therefore, Owners should discuss this issue with their tax and legal advisers before adding enhanced optional benefits to an Inherited IRA Contract. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 52 QUALIFIED PLANS. A qualified plan is a retirement or pension plan that meets the requirements for tax qualification under the Code. If the Contract is an investment for assets of a qualified plan under Section 401 of the Code, the plan is both the Owner and the Beneficiary. The authorized signatory or plan trustee for the plan must make representations to us that the plan is qualified under the Code on the Issue Date and is intended to continue to be qualified for the entire Accumulation Phase of the Contract, or as long as the qualified plan owns the Contract. The qualified plan may designate a third party administrator to act on its behalf. All tax reporting will be the responsibility of the plan. In the event the qualified plan instructs us to roll the plan assets into an IRA for the Annuitant under this Contract, we will change the qualification type of the Contract to an IRA and make the Annuitant the Owner. The qualified plan will be responsible for any reporting required for the rollover transactions. MULTIPLE CONTRACTS Section 72(e)(12) of the Code provides that multiple Non-Qualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued within a calendar year period to the same owner by one company or its affiliates are treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the tax consequences of any distribution. Such treatment may result in adverse tax consequences, including more rapid taxation of the distributed amounts from such combination of contracts. For purposes of this rule, contracts received in a Section 1035 exchange will be considered issued in the year of the exchange. You should consult a tax adviser before purchasing more than one Non-Qualified Contract in any calendar year period. PARTIAL 1035 EXCHANGES Section 1035 of the Code provides that an annuity contract may be exchanged in a tax-free transaction for another annuity contract. Historically, it was presumed that only the exchange of an entire contract (as opposed to a partial exchange) would be accorded tax-free status. Guidance from the IRS, however, confirmed that the direct transfer of a portion of an annuity contract into another annuity contract can qualify as a non-taxable exchange. IRS guidance provides that this direct transfer can go into an existing annuity contract as well as a new annuity contract. IRS guidance also provides that certain partial exchanges may not qualify as tax-free exchanges. Therefore, Owners should consult their own tax advisers before entering into a partial exchange of an annuity contract. DISTRIBUTIONS - NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS You, as the Owner, generally will not be taxed on increases in the value of the Contract until an actual or deemed distribution occurs - either as a withdrawal (including, if available, Partial Annuitizations) or as Traditional Annuity Payments or GMIB Payments under a Full Annuitization. Section 72 of the Code governs treatment of distributions. When a withdrawal from a Non-Qualified Contract occurs, the amount received will generally be treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Contract Value immediately before the distribution over your investment in the Contract (generally, the Purchase Payments or other consideration paid for the Contract, reduced by any amount previously distributed from the Contract that was not subject to tax) at that time. Amounts received as a result of a Partial Annuitization are treated as partial withdrawals. In the case of a full withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds your investment in the Contract. If you take a Full Annuitization, different rules apply. Periodic installments (for example, GMIB Payments) scheduled to be received at regular intervals (for example, monthly) after you take a Full Annuitization should be treated as annuity payments (and not withdrawals) for tax purposes. (In this regard, we intend to make tax reporting on periodic installments scheduled to be received at regular intervals under a Partial Annuitization as annuity payments ONLY after a Contract's entire Contract Value has been applied to Annuity Payments, provided that such installments extend over a period of more than one full year from the time of the Full Annuitization. Due to the lack of guidance on whether this is the appropriate tax treatment for such payments, however, Owners should consult with a tax adviser on this issue.) After a Full Annuitization, a portion of each Annuity Payment may be treated as a partial return of your Purchase Payment and will not be taxed. The remaining portion of the payment will be treated as ordinary income. How the Annuity Payment is divided between taxable and non-taxable portions depends upon the period over which we expect to make the payments. Once we have paid out all of your Purchase Payment(s), the entire Annuity Payment is taxable as ordinary income. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 53 Section 72 of the Code further provides that any amount received under an annuity contract, which is included in income, may be subject to a federal penalty tax. The amount of the federal penalty tax is equal to 10% of the amount that is included in income. Some distributions will be exempt from the federal penalty tax. There is an exception to this 10% federal penalty tax for amounts: 1) paid on or after you reach age 59 1/2; 2) paid after you die; 3) paid if you become totally disabled (as that term is defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); 4) paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) under a lifetime annuity; 5) paid as annuity payments under an immediate annuity; or 6) that come from Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982. With respect to (4) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic payments is modified, as permitted by the Code, before the later of your attaining age 59 1/2 or the close of the five year period that began on the Income Date, then the tax for the year of the modification is increased by the 10% federal penalty tax, plus interest, for the tax years in which the exception was used. A partial withdrawal taken after a series of substantially equal periodic payments has begun may result in the modification of the series of substantially equal payments and therefore could result in the imposition of the 10% federal penalty tax and interest for the period as described above. DISTRIBUTIONS - QUALIFIED CONTRACTS Section 72 of the Code governs treatment of distributions from Qualified Contracts. Special rules may apply to withdrawals from certain types of Qualified Contracts, including Roth IRAs. You should consult with your qualified plan sponsor and tax adviser to determine how these rules affect the distribution of your benefits. Section 72(t) of the Code provides that any amount received under a Qualified Contract, which is included in income, may be subject to a federal penalty tax. The amount of the federal penalty tax is equal to 10% of the amount that is included in income. Some distributions will be exempt from the federal penalty tax. There is an exception to this 10% federal penalty tax for: 1) distributions made on or after the date you (or the Annuitant as applicable) reach age 59 1/2; 2) distributions following your death or disability (or the Annuitant as applicable) (for this purpose disability is as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); 3) after separation from service, paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) under a lifetime annuity; 4) distributions made to you to the extent such distributions do not exceed the amount allowed as a deduction under Code Section 213 for amounts paid during the tax year for medical care; 5) distributions made on account of an IRS levy upon the Qualified Contract; 6) distributions from an IRA for the purchase of medical insurance (as described in Section 213(d)(1)(D) of the Code) for you (or the Annuitant as applicable) and his or her spouse and dependents if you have received unemployment compensation for at least 12 weeks (this exception will no longer apply after you have been re-employed for at least 60 days); 7) distributions from an IRA made to you, to the extent such distributions do not exceed your qualified higher education expenses (as defined in Section 72(t)(7) of the Code) for the tax year; 8) distributions from an IRA which are qualified first-time homebuyer distributions (as defined in Section 72(t)(8) of the Code); 9) distributions made to an alternate Payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (does not apply to an IRA); and 10) a reservist called to active duty during the period between September 11, 2001 and December 31, 2007, for a period in excess of 179 days (or for an indefinite period), distributions from IRAs or amounts attributable to elective deferrals under a 401(k) plan made during such active period. The exception stated in (3) above applies to an IRA without the requirement that there be a separation from service. With respect to (3) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic payments is modified as permitted by the Code, before the later of the Annuitant attaining age 59 1/2 or the close of the five year period that began on the Income Date, then the tax for the year of the modification is increased by the 10% federal penalty tax, plus interest for the tax years in which the -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 54 exception was used. A partial withdrawal taken after a series of substantially equal periodic payments has begun may result in the modification of the series of substantially equal payments and therefore could result in the imposition of the 10% federal penalty tax and interest for the period as described above, unless another exception to the federal penalty tax applies. You should obtain competent tax advice before you take any partial withdrawals from your Contract. Distributions from a Qualified Contract must commence no later than the required beginning date. For IRAs, the required beginning date is April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which you attain age 70 1/2. Under a qualified plan, the required beginning date is generally April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which you reach age 70 1/2 or retire. Generally, required minimum distributions must be made over a period not exceeding the life or life expectancy of the individual or the joint lives or life expectancies of the individual and his or her designated Beneficiary. If the required minimum distributions are not made, a 50% federal penalty tax is imposed as to the amount not distributed. It is unclear whether a partial withdrawal taken after an Income Date will have an adverse impact on the determination of required minimum distributions. If you are attempting to satisfy these rules through partial withdrawals, the present value of future benefits provided under the Contract may need to be included in calculating the amount required to be distributed. If you are receiving Annuity Payments or are age 70 1/2 or older, you should consult with a tax adviser before taking a partial withdrawal. ASSIGNMENTS, PLEDGES AND GRATUITOUS TRANSFERS Other than in the case of Qualified Contracts (which generally cannot be assigned or pledged), any assignment or pledge of (or agreement to assign or pledge) the Contract Value is treated for federal income tax purposes as a full withdrawal. The investment in the Contract is increased by the amount includible as income with respect to such amount or portion, though it is not affected by any other aspect of the assignment or pledge (including its release). If an Owner transfers a Contract without adequate consideration to a person other than the Owner's spouse (or to a former spouse incidental to divorce), the Owner will be taxed on the difference between his or her Contract Value and the investment in the Contract at the time of transfer and for each subsequent year until the assignment is released. In such case, the transferee's investment in the Contract will be increased to reflect the increase in the transferor's income. The transfer or assignment of ownership of the Contract, the designation of an Annuitant, the selection of certain Income Dates, or the exchange of the Contract may result in certain other tax consequences that are not discussed here. An Owner contemplating any such transfer, assignment, or exchange should consult a tax adviser as to the tax consequences. DEATH BENEFITS Any death benefits paid under the Contract are taxable to the recipient as ordinary income. The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity contract generally apply to the payment of death benefits and depend on whether the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as Annuity Payments. Estate taxes may also apply. WITHHOLDING Annuity distributions are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's federal income tax liability. Recipients can, however, generally elect not to have tax withheld from distributions unless they are subject to mandatory state withholding. "Eligible rollover distributions" from qualified plans are subject to a mandatory federal income tax withholding of 20%. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution to an employee (or employee's spouse or former spouse as Beneficiary or alternate Payee) from such a plan, except certain distributions such as distributions required by the Code, distributions in a specified annuity form, or hardship distributions. The 20% withholding does not apply, however, to nontaxable distributions or if the employee chooses a "direct rollover" from the Contract plan to a qualified plan, IRA, TSA or 403(b) plan, or to a governmental Section 457 plan that agrees to separately account for rollover contributions. FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES While no attempt is being made to discuss the federal estate tax implications of the Contract, a purchaser should keep in mind that the value of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a Beneficiary by virtue of surviving the decedent is included in the decedent's gross estate. Depending on the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated Beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the Beneficiary. Consult an estate planning adviser for more information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 55 GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAX Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a "generation-skipping transfer tax" when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the Owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS. FOREIGN TAX CREDITS We may benefit from any foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain funds to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under the federal tax law. ANNUITY PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS The preceding discussion provides general information regarding federal income tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from annuity contracts at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser's country of citizenship or residence. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S. state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase. In Revenue Ruling 2004-75, 2004-31 I.R.B. 109, the IRS announced that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under life insurance policies or annuity contracts issued by a Puerto Rico branch of a United States life insurance company is U.S.-source income that is generally subject to United States federal income tax. POSSIBLE TAX LAW CHANGES Although the likelihood of legislative or regulatory changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Contract could change by legislation, regulation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative or regulatory developments and their effect on the Contract. We have the right to modify the Contract in response to legislative or regulatory changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity owners currently receive. We make no guarantee regarding the tax status of any contract and do not intend the above discussion as tax advice. DIVERSIFICATION The Code provides that the underlying investments for a Non-Qualified variable annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements in order to be treated as an annuity contract. We believe that the Investment Options are being managed so as to comply with the requirements. In some circumstances, owners of variable annuities who retain excessive control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be treated as the owners of those assets and may be subject to tax on income produced by those assets. Although published guidance in this area does not address certain aspects of the policies, we believe that the Owner should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We reserve the right to modify the Contract to bring it into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate Account assets. REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS Section 72(s) of the Code requires that, to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, a Non-Qualified Contract must contain certain provisions specifying how amounts will be distributed in the event of the death of an Owner of the Contract. Specifically, Section 72(s) requires that: (a) if any Owner dies on or after you take a Full Annuitization, but before the time the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the entire interest in the Contract must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Owner's death; and (b) if any Owner dies before you take a Full Annuitization, the entire interest in the Contract must be distributed within five years after the date of the Owner's death. These requirements will be considered satisfied as to any portion of an Owner's interest that is payable to or for the benefit of a designated Beneficiary and that is distributed over the life of such designated Beneficiary, or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that Beneficiary, provided that such distributions begin within one year of the Owner's death. The designated Beneficiary refers to an individual designated by the Owner as a Beneficiary and to whom ownership of the Contract passes by reason of death. However, if -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 56 the designated Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner, the Contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Owner. Non-Qualified Contracts contain provisions that are intended to comply with these Code requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. When such requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise, we intend to review such provisions and modify them, as necessary, to assure that they comply with the applicable requirements. Other rules may apply to Qualified Contracts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY The money in the Contract is available under the following circumstances: o by taking a withdrawal (including GWB withdrawals); o by receiving Annuity Payments; or o when we pay a death benefit. You can only take withdrawals during the Accumulation Phase. When you make a withdrawal request, we will process the request based on the Accumulation Unit values next determined after receipt of the request at our Service Center. The Accumulation Unit values are normally determined at the end of each Business Day. Any withdrawal request received at or after the end of the current Business Day will receive the next Business Day's Accumulation Unit values. When you take a full withdrawal, we will process the withdrawal: o based upon the number of Accumulation Units held by the Contract on that Business Day and valued at the next available daily price established after receipt in good order of the withdrawal request at our Service Center, o adjusted for any applicable MVA, o less any applicable withdrawal charge, o less any deductions we make to reimburse ourselves for premium tax that we pay, and o less any contract maintenance charge. See the Fee Tables and section 7, Expenses for a discussion of the charges. There is no minimum associated with requesting a partial withdrawal and there is no minimum amount of Contract Value that we require to remain in the Contract after requesting a partial withdrawal for as long as you hold the Contract. In the future, if we require a minimum amount of Contract Value to remain in the Contract, we reserve the right to treat a request for a partial withdrawal that would reduce the Contract Value below this minimum as a request for a full withdrawal of the Contract. Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will deduct any partial withdrawal (including any withdrawal charge) proportionately from the Investment Options. If the amount in the Investment Options is less than the partial withdrawal, then the remaining amount will come proportionately from any other available Investment Choices. Partial withdrawals from a general account Investment Choice may involve an MVA, which may increase or decrease your Contract Value and/or the proceeds you receive. If your Contract includes the Living Guarantees, partial withdrawals are subject to the GAV Fixed Account Minimum. You can take withdrawals that would reduce the amounts in the FPAs below this minimum by resetting the GAV Benefit (see section 6, Guaranteed Account Value (GAV) Benefit - The GAV Fixed Account Minimum). We will pay the amount of any withdrawal from the Investment Options within seven days of when we receive your request in good order, unless the suspension of payments or transfers provision is in effect (see the "Suspension of Payments or Transfers" discussion later in this section). Upon withdrawal, we assess the withdrawal charge against the Withdrawal Charge Basis. Penalty-free withdrawals do not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis, but any other withdrawals of Purchase Payments will reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. Penalty-free withdrawals include the following amounts: withdrawals under the GWB, withdrawals under the partial withdrawal privilege, withdrawals under the waiver of withdrawal charge benefit, and any amounts paid as part of a required minimum distribution. We also do not adjust the Withdrawal Charge Basis for any gains or losses on your Investment Options. THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU TAKE A FULL WITHDRAWAL WHILE THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE APPLIES AND YOU HAVE TAKEN PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS OR YOU HAVE HAD LOSSES IN YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS, YOU MAY BE ASSESSED A -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 57 WITHDRAWAL CHARGE ON MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU ARE WITHDRAWING. IN SOME INSTANCES, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A DISTRIBUTION DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. For more information, please see section 7, Expenses - Withdrawal Charge and the examples in Appendix G. ORDINARY INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO ANY WITHDRAWAL YOU TAKE. PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE The partial withdrawal privilege for each Contract Year is equal to 12% of your total Purchase Payments, less the total amount previously withdrawn under the partial withdrawal privilege in the same Contract Year, and before any MVA. We will not deduct a withdrawal charge from amounts withdrawn under the partial withdrawal privilege, but an MVA may apply to amounts withdrawn from a FPA. Any unused partial withdrawal privilege in one Contract Year does not carry over to the next Contract Year. THERE IS NO PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE DURING THE ANNUITY PHASE. If you take a withdrawal of more than the partial withdrawal privilege, the excess amount will be subject to the withdrawal charge and it will reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis unless the excess amount is part of a penalty-free withdrawal. If you take a full withdrawal, we will assess the withdrawal charge with no reduction for the partial withdrawal privilege. Amounts withdrawn under the partial withdrawal privilege do not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. The minimum distribution program allows you to take withdrawals without the deduction of the withdrawal charge under certain circumstances. For more information, see "The Minimum Distribution Program and Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Payments" discussion later in this section. WAIVER OF WITHDRAWAL CHARGE BENEFITS Under certain circumstances, after the first Contract Year, we will permit you to take money out of the Contract without deducting a withdrawal charge if any Owner becomes: o confined to a nursing home for a period of at least 90 consecutive days; or o terminally ill, which is defined as life expectancy of 12 months or less (we will require a full withdrawal of the Contract in this instance). The waiver will not apply if any of the above conditions existed on the Issue Date. If the Contract is owned by a non-individual, we will base this benefit on the Annuitant. We require proof of these conditions in a form satisfactory to us, including certification by a licensed physician before we will waive the withdrawal charge. Amounts withdrawn under this benefit do not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. THESE BENEFITS VARY FROM STATE TO STATE AND MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN YOUR STATE. CHECK WITH YOUR REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE FOR DETAILS ON THE WAIVERS AVAILABLE IN YOUR STATE. GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT (GWB) At Contract issue, you can select either a Contract with Living Guarantees or a Contract without Living Guarantees. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE A SELECTION, THE LIVING GUARANTEES WILL APPLY TO YOUR CONTRACT. AFTER THE ISSUE DATE, THE LIVING GUARANTEES CANNOT BE ADDED TO OR REMOVED FROM YOUR CONTRACT. Contracts with Living Guarantees will include the GWB. There is no additional charge for this benefit. However, we monitor your Contract Value daily and systematically transfer amounts between your selected Investment Options and the FPAs to support the Living Guarantees. This benefit provides a guaranteed income through partial withdrawals, regardless of your Contract Value, beginning on the second Contract Anniversary. THE GWB IS NOT AVAILABLE BEFORE THE SECOND CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY. The GWB value is equal to total Purchase Payments less GWB adjusted partial withdrawals. The maximum amount available for GWB withdrawals each Contract Year is the lesser of: o 12% of your total Purchase Payments before any MVA (the partial withdrawal privilege amount), or o the remaining GWB value. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 58 We will not deduct a withdrawal charge from amounts withdrawn under the GWB, but an MVA may apply to amounts withdrawn from a FPA. Amounts withdrawn under the GWB will not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis, but withdrawals in excess of the maximum amount available annually under the GWB will be subject to a withdrawal charge and will reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. Any unused GWB withdrawal amount in one Contract Year does not carry over to the next Contract Year. GWB withdrawals will be treated as withdrawals for tax purposes and if any Owner is younger than age 59 1/2, the GWB withdrawal may also be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. WITHDRAWALS AND PARTIAL ANNUITIZATIONS YOU TAKE IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE GWB WITHDRAWAL IN A CONTRACT YEAR MAY REDUCE THE GWB VALUE BY MORE THAN THE AMOUNT WITHDRAWN OR ANNUITIZED. If the Contract Value at the time of withdrawal or annuitization is less than the remaining GWB value, the GWB value may be reduced by more than the amount withdrawn or annuitized. For each withdrawal* or traditional Partial Annuitization taken before the second Contract Anniversary, a GWB adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: PW X GWBV For each withdrawal* or traditional Partial Annuitization taken on or after the second Contract Anniversary, a GWB adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: GWBA + (RPWA X GWBV) * Includes any amounts paid as part of a required minimum distribution.
For each GMIB Partial Annuitization a GWB adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: GMIBPA X GWB1 ----------------------- GMIB
PW = The amount of Contract Value (before any MVA) applied to a traditional Partial Annuitization or withdrawn (including any applicable withdrawal charge). GWBA = The amount of the partial withdrawal* (before any MVA) that, together with any previous partial withdrawals* taken during the Contract Year, does not exceed the maximum allowable GWB withdrawal for the Contract Year. However, if you take any traditional Partial Annuitization the entire amount of any Contract Value (before any MVA) applied to the traditional Partial Annuitization will be included in the RPWA portion of this formula. * Includes GWB withdrawals. RPWA = The remaining amount of the partial withdrawal including any applicable withdrawal charge, but before any MVA. GWBV = The greater of one, or the ratio of (a) divided by (b) where: (a) = The remaining GWB value on the day of (but before) the traditional Partial Annuitization or partial withdrawal. (b) = The Contract Value on the day of (but before) the traditional Partial Annuitization or partial withdrawal adjusted for any applicable MVA. GMIBPA= The amount of the GMIB value applied to a GMIB Partial Annuitization. GMIB = The GMIB value on the day of (but before) the GMIB Partial Annuitization. GWB1 = The remaining GWB value on the day of (but before) the GMIB Partial Annuitization. You can continue to take GWB withdrawals until you have withdrawn all of the GWB value. This means that under the GWB, if you have no remaining Contract Value, your Contract will continue until you have withdrawn all the Purchase Payments less GWB adjusted partial withdrawals. NOTE: YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO TAKE A FULL ANNUITIZATION OF YOUR CONTRACT ON OR BEFORE THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED INCOME DATE. (For more information see section 2, The Annuity Phase.) Upon such a Full Annuitization the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit will no longer be available to you. The GWB will terminate upon the earliest of the following. o Contract termination. o The Income Date that you take a Full Annuitization, INCLUDING A REQUIRED FULL ANNUITIZATION ON THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED INCOME DATE. For more information, see section 2, The Annuity Phase. o The GWB value is zero. o The death of the Owner (unless the spouse continues the Contract as the new Owner). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 59 GWB ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL EXAMPLE o You purchase a February 2007 Contract and select the Living Guarantees. You make only one initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. o The GWB value at issue is equal to the total Purchase Payments less GWB adjusted partial withdrawals, which is $100,000. o The maximum amount you can withdraw under the GWB after the second Contract Anniversary is 12% of the total Purchase Payments before any MVA, which is 0.12 x $100,000 = $12,000. o During the third Contract Year you take a partial withdraw of $13,000 (including any withdrawal charge) when the Contract Value on the day (but before) the withdrawal is $95,000. There is no MVA on the partial withdrawal. We calculate the GWB adjusted partial withdrawal as: GWBA + (RPWA x GWBV), where:

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM If your Contract Value is at least $25,000, the systematic withdrawal program provides automatic monthly or quarterly payments to you. The minimum amount you can withdraw under this program is $500. You may withdraw any amount you want under this program if your Purchase Payments are no longer subject to the withdrawal charge. While the withdrawal charge is in effect, the systematic withdrawal program is subject to the partial withdrawal privilege. The total systematic withdrawals that you can take each Contract Year without incurring a withdrawal charge is limited to your partial withdrawal privilege amount for that Contract Year. With the exception of penalty-free withdrawals, any withdrawals in a Contract Year (including systematic withdrawals) will be subject to any applicable withdrawal charge. For more information, see section 7, Expenses - Withdrawal Charge and the "Partial Withdrawal Privilege" discussion that appears earlier in this section. All systematic withdrawals will be made on the ninth day of the month or the previous Business Day if the ninth is not a Business Day. You will not be charged additional fees for participating in or terminating from this program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 60 ORDINARY INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS. YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THE SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM AND THE MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM AT THE SAME TIME. THE MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM AND REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION (RMD) PAYMENTS If you own a Qualified Contract, you may participate in the minimum distribution program during the Accumulation Phase of the Contract. Under this program, we will make payments to you from your Contract that are designed to meet the applicable minimum distribution requirements imposed by the Code for this Qualified Contract. We can make payments to you on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. However, we will only make annual payments if your Contract Value is less than $25,000. RMD payments from this Contract will not be subject to a withdrawal charge and will not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. However, they will count against your partial withdrawal privilege. You cannot aggregate RMD payments between this Contract and other qualified contracts that you own. Any RMD payments from this Contract that exceed the RMD amount calculated for this Contract will be subject to any applicable withdrawal charge. If your Contract includes Living Guarantees, RMD payments will also count against the maximum amount available for GWB withdrawals. If you take any additional withdrawals that are not penalty-free withdrawals while you are receiving RMD payments, these withdrawals will be subject to any applicable withdrawal charge. This Contract offers a choice of GMDBs and optional Living Guarantees that provide a GMIB. The GMIB may have limited usefulness if you purchase a Qualified Contract that is subject to a RMD. If your Contract includes the Living Guarantees and you do not exercise the GMIB on or before the date RMD payments must begin under a qualified plan, the Owner or Beneficiary may not be able to exercise the GMIB due to the restrictions imposed by the minimum distribution requirements. You should consider whether the GMIB is appropriate for your situation if you plan to exercise the GMIB after your RMD beginning date. In addition, RMD payments will reduce your GAV, GWB value, GMDB value, GMIB value, MAV (if applicable) and amounts available under your partial withdrawal privilege. YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THE SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL AND THE MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PROGRAMS AT THE SAME TIME. WE ENCOURAGE PROSPECTIVE OWNERS WHO ARE CONSIDERING PURCHASING QUALIFIED CONTRACTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RMD PAYMENTS TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISER REGARDING THESE BENEFITS. INHERITED IRA CONTRACTS. If you (the Owner) were the spouse of the deceased owner of the previous tax-qualified investment, and your spouse had not yet reached the date at which he/she was required to begin receiving required minimum distribution (RMD) payments, then you can wait to begin receiving RMD payments until the year that your spouse would have reached age 70 1/2. Alternatively, if the deceased owner of the previous tax-qualified investment had already reached the date at which he/she was required to begin receiving RMD payments, you can begin RMD payments based on your single life expectancy in the year following the deceased owner's death, or (if longer) the deceased previous owner's life expectancy in the year of his/her death reduced by one. You must begin to receive these RMD payments by December 31 of the year following the year of the deceased previous owner's death. SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS OR TRANSFERS We may be required to suspend or postpone payments for withdrawals or transfers for any period when: o the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); o trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; o an emergency (as determined by the SEC) exists as a result of which disposal of the Investment Option shares is not reasonably practicable or we cannot reasonably value the Investment Option shares; or o during any other period when the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of Owners. We reserve the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or transfer from any general account Investment Choice for the period permitted by law, but not for more than six months. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. ILLUSTRATIONS In order to help you understand how your Contract Values vary over time and under different sets of assumptions, we may provide you with certain personalized illustrations upon request and free of charge. These illustrations may provide hypothetical depictions of either the Accumulation Phase or the Annuity Phase. You can request an illustration free of charge by contacting your registered representative. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 61 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. DEATH BENEFIT At Contract issue, you may be able to select one of two death benefit options. If you do not make a selection, the Traditional GMDB will apply to your Contract. THE DEATH BENEFIT IS ONLY AVAILABLE DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE OF THE CONTRACT. The Enhanced GMDB is available at Contract issue for an additional M&E charge if all Owners are age 79 or younger on the Issue Date (or the Annuitant is age 79 or younger if the Contract is owned by a non-individual). The Enhanced GMDB does not provide any additional benefit before the first Contract Anniversary and the benefit values are limited after age 81. As a result, any Owner who is nearing age 79 should determine if selecting the Enhanced GMDB (which has an additional cost) is appropriate for their situation. THE DEATH BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE ENHANCED GMDB WILL NEVER BE LESS THAN THE DEATH BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRADITIONAL GMDB, BUT THEY MAY BE EQUAL. YOU CAN ONLY SELECT ONE DEATH BENEFIT AT CONTRACT ISSUE. ONCE YOU SELECT A DEATH BENEFIT, YOU CANNOT CHANGE OR CANCEL IT. THE ENHANCED GMDB MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN YOUR STATE. CHECK WITH YOUR REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE REGARDING AVAILABILITY AND BE SURE TO DISCUSS WHETHER YOUR SELECTED DEATH BENEFIT IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR SITUATION. IN SOME STATES, THE TRADITIONAL GMDB MAY BE PROVIDED AS PART OF THE BASE CONTRACT INSTEAD OF BY ENDORSEMENT. The use of the term "you" in this section refers to the Annuitant if the Contract is owned by a non-individual; otherwise it refers to the Owner. We will process the death benefit based on the Accumulation Unit values next determined after receipt in good order at our Service Center of both due proof of death and an election of the death benefit payment option. WE CONSIDER DUE PROOF OF DEATH TO BE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: a copy of the certified death certificate, a decree of court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, or any other proof that we consider to be satisfactory. The Accumulation Unit values are normally determined at the end of each Business Day and due proof of death and an election of the death benefit payment option received at or after the end of the current Business Day will receive the next Business Day's Accumulation Unit values. Any part of the death benefit amount that had been invested in the Investment Options remains in the Investment Options until distribution begins. From the time the death benefit is determined until we make a complete distribution, any amount in the Investment Options will continue to be subject to investment risk that will be borne by the recipient. TRADITIONAL GUARANTEED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT (TRADITIONAL GMDB) If the Traditional GMDB applies, the amount of the death benefit will be the greater of 1 or 2, less any deduction we make to reimburse ourselves for premium tax that we pay. 1. The Contract Value, determined as of the end of the Business Day during which we receive in good order at our Service Center both due proof of death and an election of the death benefit payment option. 2. The Traditional GMDB value, which is the total of all Purchase Payments received, reduced for each GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal taken. ENHANCED GUARANTEED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT (ENHANCED GMDB) If the Enhanced GMDB applies, the amount of the death benefit will be the greater of 1, 2 or 3, less any deduction we make to reimburse ourselves for premium tax that we pay. 1. The Contract Value, determined as of the end of the Business Day during which we receive in good order at our Service Center both due proof of death and an election of the death benefit payment option. 2. The Traditional GMDB value, which is the total of all Purchase Payments received, reduced for each GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal taken. 3. The Enhanced GMDB value, which is the Maximum Anniversary Value (MAV). We determine the MAV as of the end of the Business Day during which we receive in good order at our Service Center both due proof of death and an election of the death benefit payment option. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 62 MAXIMUM ANNIVERSARY VALUE (MAV) We only calculate the MAV until the date of any Owner's death. The MAV on the Issue Date is equal to your initial Purchase Payment received on the Issue Date. On each Business Day other than a Contract Anniversary, the MAV is equal to: o its value on the immediately preceding Business Day, o plus any additional Purchase Payments received that day, and o reduced for each GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal taken that day. On each Contract Anniversary before the older Owner's 81st birthday (or the Annuitant's 81st birthday if the Contract is owned by a non-individual) the MAV is equal to the greater of its value on the immediately preceding Business Day, or the Contract Value that occurs on that Contract Anniversary before we process any transactions. We then process any transactions received on that Contract Anniversary (such as additional Purchase Payments, withdrawals and Partial Annuitizations) in the same way that we do on each Business Day other than a Contract Anniversary. Beginning with the Contract Anniversary that occurs on or after the older Owner's 81st birthday (or the Annuitant's 81st birthday if the Contract is owned by a non-individual) we calculate the MAV in the same way that we do on each Business Day other than a Contract Anniversary. GMDB ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL FORMULA For each withdrawal or traditional Partial Annuitization taken, a GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: (A) X (B) (A) = The amount of Contract Value (before any MVA) applied to a traditional Partial Annuitization or withdrawn (including any applicable withdrawal charge). (B) = The greater of one, or the ratio of (c) divided by (d) where: (c) = The death benefit on the day of (but before) the traditional Partial Annuitization or partial withdrawal. (d) = The Contract Value on the day of (but before) the traditional Partial Annuitization or partial withdrawal, adjusted for any applicable MVA.
For each GMIB Partial Annuitization, a GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: GMIBPA X GMDB1 ------------------------ GMIB
GMIBPA = The amount of the GMIB value applied to a GMIB Partial Annuitization. GMDB1 = The death benefit on the day of (but before) the GMIB Partial Annuitization. GMIB = The GMIB value on the day of (but before) the GMIB Partial Annuitization. ANY WITHDRAWALS OR TRADITIONAL PARTIAL ANNUITIZATIONS YOU TAKE IN A CONTRACT YEAR MAY REDUCE THE GMDB VALUE BY MORE THAN THE AMOUNT WITHDRAWN OR ANNUITIZED. If the Contract Value at the time of withdrawal or annuitization is less than the death benefit, we will deduct more than the amount withdrawn or annuitized from the GMDB value. Please see Appendix E for examples of calculations of the death benefit. TERMINATION OF THE DEATH BENEFIT THE GMDB THAT APPLIES TO YOUR CONTRACT WILL TERMINATE UPON THE EARLIEST OF THE FOLLOWING. o The Business Day before the Income Date that you take a Full Annuitization, INCLUDING A REQUIRED FULL ANNUITIZATION ON THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED INCOME DATE (for more information, see section 2, The Annuity Phase). o The Business Day that the GMDB value and Contract Value are both zero. o Contract termination. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 63 DEATH OF THE OWNER UNDER INHERITED IRA CONTRACTS Upon the death of the Owner under an Inherited IRA Contract, the Beneficiary can either: o continue to receive the required minimum distribution payments based on the remaining life expectancy of the deceased Owner and the Contract Value (less any deduction we make to reimburse ourselves for premium taxes that we pay) as of the Business Day we receive in good order at our Service Center both due proof of death and the appropriately completed election form; or o receive a lump sum payment based on the Contract Value (less any deduction we make to reimburse ourselves for premium taxes that we pay) as of the Business Day we receive in good order at our Service Center both due proof of death and the appropriately completed election form. DEATH OF THE OWNER AND/OR ANNUITANT UNDER ALL OTHER CONTRACTS The following tables are intended to help you better understand what happens upon the death of any Owner and/or Annuitant under the different portions of the Contract. FOR QUALIFIED CONTRACTS, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE OWNER AND THE OWNER MUST BE THE ANNUITANT, UNLESS THE CONTRACT IS A QUALIFIED CONTRACT OWNED BY A QUALIFIED PLAN OR IS PART OF A CUSTODIAL ARRANGEMENT. PARTIAL ANNUITIZATIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO JOINT OWNERS. IF YOU TAKE A PARTIAL ANNUITIZATION, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE OWNER; THE OWNER MUST BE THE ANNUITANT, AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW THE OWNER TO ADD A JOINT ANNUITANT. DESIGNATING DIFFERENT PERSONS AS OWNER(S) AND ANNUITANT(S) CAN HAVE AN IMPORTANT IMPACT ON WHETHER A DEATH BENEFIT IS PAID, AND ON WHO WOULD RECEIVE IT. USE CARE WHEN DESIGNATING OWNERS AND ANNUITANTS, AND CONSULT YOUR REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. UPON THE DEATH OF A SOLE OWNER ACTION UNDER THE PORTION OF THE CONTRACT THAT IS IN THE ACCUMULATION PHASE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o We will pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary.* For a description of the payout options, see the "Death Benefit Payment Options" discussion later in this section. o If the GWB was in effect, it will terminate unless the deceased Owner's spouse continues the Contract.

If the Contract continues, we will increase the Contract Value to equal the death benefit if that amount is greater than the Contract Value as of the Business Day we receive in good order at our Service Center both due proof of death and an election of the death benefit payment option on the death claim form. If both spousal Joint Owners die before we pay the death benefit, we will pay any contingent Beneficiaries or the estate of the Joint Owner who died last if there are no contingent Beneficiaries. If the Joint Owners were not spouses and they both die before we pay the death benefit, for tax reasons, we will pay the estate of the Joint Owner who died last. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 65 UPON THE DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT AND THERE IS NO SURVIVING JOINT ANNUITANT ACTION UNDER THE PORTION OF THE CONTRACT THAT IS IN THE ACCUMULATION PHASE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o If the Contract is owned by a non-individual (for example a qualified plan or a trust), we will treat the death of the Annuitant as the death of an Owner; we will pay the Beneficiary* a death benefit, and a new Annuitant cannot be named.

If the Beneficiary is the spouse of the deceased Owner, he/she can choose to continue the Contract in his/her own name. An election by the spouse to continue the Contract must be made on the death claim form before we pay the death benefit. If the Contract continues, we will increase the Contract Value to equal the death benefit if that amount is greater than the Contract Value as of the Business Day we receive in good order at our Service Center both due proof of death and an election of the death benefit payment option. If a lump sum payment is requested, we will pay the amount within seven days of our receipt of proof of death and a valid election of a death benefit payment option, including any required governmental forms, unless the suspension of payments or transfers provision is in effect. Payment of the death benefit may be delayed, pending receipt of any applicable tax consents and/or state forms. OPTION A: Lump sum payment of the death benefit. We will not deduct the contract maintenance charge at the time of a full withdrawal if the distribution is due to death. OPTION B: Payment of the entire death benefit within five years of the date of any Owner's death. We will assess the full contract maintenance charge on each Beneficiary's portion on each Contract Anniversary. However, we will waive the contract maintenance charge if the Contract Value at the time we are to deduct the charge is at least $75,000. OPTION C: If the Beneficiary is an individual, payment of the death benefit as a Traditional Annuity Payment under an Annuity Option over the lifetime of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. Distribution under this option must begin within one year of the date of any Owner's death. We will continue to assess the full contract maintenance charge on each Beneficiary's portion proportionately over the Traditional Annuity Payments. However, we will waive the contract maintenance charge if the Contract Value on the Income Date is at least $75,000. GMIB PAYMENTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNDER THIS OPTION. Any portion of the death benefit not applied to Traditional Annuity Payments within one year of the date of the Owner's death must be distributed within five years of the date of death. If the Contract is owned by a non-individual, then we treat the death of any Annuitant as the death of an Owner for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code's distribution at death rules, which are set forth in Section 72(s) of the Code. In all events, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Contract or this prospectus, the Contract will be interpreted and administered in accordance with Section 72(s) of the Code. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 67 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12.

We are licensed to do direct business in 49 states and the District of Columbia. We are a subsidiary of Allianz SE, a provider of integrated financial services. THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT We established Allianz Life Variable Account B (the Separate Account) as a separate account under Minnesota insurance law on May 31, 1985. The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The SEC does not supervise our management of the Separate Account. The Separate Account holds the assets that underlie the Contracts, except assets allocated to our general account. We keep the Separate Account assets separate from the assets of our general account and other separate accounts. The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts, each of which invests exclusively in a single Investment Option. We own the assets of the Separate Account. We credit gains to or charge losses against the Separate Account, whether or not realized, without regard to the performance of other investment accounts. The Separate Account's assets may not be used to pay any of our liabilities, other than those arising from the Contracts. If the Separate Account's assets exceed the required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our general account. Amounts transferred to our general account will represent seed money invested by us or earned fees and charges. The obligations of the Separate Account are not generalized obligations of Allianz Life. The obligations under the Contracts are obligations of Allianz Life. DISTRIBUTION Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (Allianz Life Financial), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, serves as principal underwriter for the Contracts. Allianz Life Financial, a limited liability company organized in Minnesota, is located at 5701 Golden Hills Drive, Minneapolis, MN 55416. Allianz Life Financial is registered as a broker/dealer with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 1934 Act), as well as with the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Allianz Life Financial is not a member of Securities Investors Protection Corporation. More information about Allianz Life Financial is available at http://www.finra.org or by calling 1-800-289-9999. You also can obtain an investor brochure from FINRA describing its Public Disclosure Program. We have entered into a distribution agreement with our affiliate Allianz Life Financial for the distribution and sale of the Contracts. Allianz Life Financial does not itself sell the Contracts on a retail basis. Rather, Allianz Life Financial enters into selling agreements with other broker/dealers registered under the 1934 Act (selling firms) for the sale of the Contracts. These selling firms include third party broker/dealers and Questar Capital Corporation, an affiliated broker/dealer. We pay sales commissions to the selling firms and their registered representatives. Investment Options that assess Rule 12b-1 fees make payments of the fees to Allianz Life Financial as consideration for providing certain services and incurring certain expenses permitted under the Investment Option's plan. These payments typically equal 0.25% of an Investment Option's average daily net assets for the most recent calendar year. The investment adviser and/or subadviser (and/or their affiliates) of an Investment Option may from time to time make payments for administrative services to Allianz Life Financial or its affiliates. The maximum commission payable to the selling firms for Contract sales is expected not to exceed 7% of Purchase Payments. Sometimes, we enter into an agreement with a selling firm to pay commissions as a combination of a certain amount of the commission at the time of sale and a trail commission which, when totaled, could exceed 7% of Purchase Payments. We may fund Allianz Life Financial's operating and other expenses, including: overhead; legal and accounting fees; registered representative training; compensation for the Allianz Life Financial management team; and other expenses associated with the Contracts. Registered representatives and their managers are also eligible for various benefits, such as production incentive bonuses, insurance benefits, and non-cash compensation items that we may provide jointly with -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 68 Allianz Life Financial. Non-cash items include conferences, seminars and trips (including travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, awards, merchandise and other similar items. Selling firms and their registered representatives and managers may receive other payments from us for services that do not directly involve the sale of the Contracts, including payments made for the recruitment and training of personnel, production of promotional literature and similar services. In addition, certain firms and their representatives may receive compensation for distribution and administrative services when acting in a wholesaling capacity and working with retail firms. We and/or Allianz Life Financial may pay certain selling firms additional marketing support allowances for: o marketing services and increased access to registered representatives; o sales promotions relating to the Contracts; o costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their registered representatives; o the cost of client meetings and presentations; and o other sales expenses incurred by them. We retain substantial discretion in determining whether to grant a marketing support payment to a particular broker/dealer firm and the amount of any such payment. However, we do consider a number of specific factors in determining marketing support payments, which may include a review of the following: o the level of existing sales and assets held in contracts issued by us that are sold through the broker/dealer firm and the potential for new or additional sales; o the organizational "fit" between the broker/dealer firm and the type of wholesaling and marketing force we operate; o whether the broker/dealer firm's operational, IT, and support services structure and requirements are compatible with our method of operation; o whether the broker/dealer firm's product mix is oriented toward our core markets; o whether the broker/dealer firm has a structure facilitating a marketing support arrangement, such as frequent registered representative meetings and training sessions; o the potential return on investment of investing in a particular firm's system; o our potential ability to obtain a significant level of the market share in the broker/dealer firm's distribution channel; o the broker/dealer firm's registered representative and customer profiles; and o the prominence and reputation of the broker/dealer firm in its marketing channel. We may also make payments for marketing and wholesaling support to broker/dealer affiliates of Investment Options that are available through the variable annuities we offer. Additional information regarding marketing support payments can be found in the Distributor section of the Statement of Additional Information. We and/or Allianz Life Financial may make bonus payments to certain selling firms based on aggregate sales of our variable insurance contracts (including this Contract) or persistency standards, or as part of a special promotion. These additional payments are not offered to all selling firms, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among selling firms. In some instances, the amount paid may be significant. A portion of the payments made to selling firms may be passed on to their registered representatives in accordance with their internal compensation programs. Those programs may also include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Ask your registered representative for further information about what your registered representative and the selling firm for which he or she works may receive in connection with your purchase of a Contract. We intend to recover commissions and other sales expenses through fees and charges imposed under the Contract. Commissions paid on the Contract, including other incentives or payments, are not charged directly to the Owners or the Separate Account. We offer the Contracts to the public on a continuous basis. We anticipate continuing to offer the Contracts but reserve the right to discontinue the offering. ADDITIONAL CREDITS FOR CERTAIN GROUPS We may credit additional amounts to a Contract instead of modifying charges because of special circumstances that result in lower sales or administrative expenses or better than expected mortality or persistency experience. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 69 ADMINISTRATION/ALLIANZ SERVICE CENTER Delaware Valley Financial Services, LLC (DVFS or the Allianz Service Center) performs certain administrative services regarding the Contracts. DVFS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz Life, and is located at 300 Berwyn Park, Berwyn, Pennsylvania. The administrative services performed by our Service Center include: o issuance and maintenance of the Contracts, o maintenance of Owner records, o processing and mailing of account statements and other mailings to Owners, and o routine customer service including: - responding to Owner correspondence and inquiries, - processing of Contract changes, - processing withdrawal requests (both partial and total), and - processing annuitization requests. Historically, we have compensated DVFS based on a specified fee per transaction and an additional negotiated fee for enhancements to computer systems used to process our business. Currently, we are on a cost basis. For the past three calendar years, Allianz Life Financial has paid DVFS $71,889,235.98 for performing administrative services regarding the Contracts. To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses, including reports and prospectuses for the Investment Options, will be mailed to your household, even if you or other persons in your household have more than one contract issued by us or our affiliate. Call us at the toll-free number listed at the back of this prospectus if you need additional copies of financial reports, prospectuses, or annual and semiannual reports, or if you would like to receive one copy for each contract in future mailings. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We and our subsidiaries, like other life insurance companies, from time to time are involved in legal proceedings of various kinds, including regulatory proceedings and individual and class action lawsuits. In some legal proceedings involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that, at the present time, there are no pending or threatened legal proceedings to which we, the Separate Account, or Allianz Life Financial is a party that are reasonably likely to materially affect the Separate Account, our ability to meet our obligations under the Contracts, or Allianz Life Financial's ability to perform its obligations. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements of Allianz Life and the financial statements of the Separate Account have been included in the Statement of Additional Information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 70 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. GLOSSARY This prospectus is written in plain English to make it as understandable as possible. However, there are some technical words or terms that are defined below and are capitalized in the prospectus. The following is a list of common abbreviations used in this prospectus:
FPA = FIXED PERIOD ACCOUNT GWB = GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT GAV = GUARANTEED ACCOUNT VALUE MAV = MAXIMUM ANNIVERSARY VALUE GMDB = GUARANTEED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT MVA = MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT GMIB = GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT
ACCOUNT PERIOD - the length of time for a Fixed Period Account. Account Periods range from one to ten years. ACCUMULATION PHASE - the period of time before you apply the entire Contract Value to Annuity Payments. Subject to certain restrictions, you can make additional Purchase Payments during this time. The Accumulation Phase may occur at the same time as the Annuity Phase if you take Partial Annuitizations. ACCUMULATION UNIT - the units into which we convert amounts invested in the subaccounts that invest in the Investment Options during the Accumulation Phase. ANNUITANT - the individual upon whose life we base the Annuity Payments. Subject to our approval, the Owner designates the Annuitant and can add a joint Annuitant for the Annuity Phase if they take a Full Annuitization. ANNUITY OPTIONS - the income options available to you under the Contract. ANNUITY PAYMENTS - payments made by us to the Payee pursuant to the Annuity Option chosen. Annuity Payments may be variable, fixed, or a combination of both variable and fixed. ANNUITY PHASE - the phase the Contract is in once Annuity Payments begin. This may occur at the same time as the Accumulation Phase if you take a Partial Annuitization. ANNUITY UNIT - the units into which we convert amounts invested in the subaccounts that invest in the Investment Options during the Annuity Phase. BENEFICIARY - the person(s) or entity the Owner designates to receive any death benefit. BUSINESS DAY - each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, except when an Investment Option does not value its shares. Allianz Life is open for business on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. Our Business Day closes when regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange closes, which is usually at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. CONTRACT - the deferred annuity contract described by this prospectus that allows you to accumulate money tax deferred by making one or more Purchase Payments. It provides for lifetime or other forms of Annuity Payments beginning on the Income Date. CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY - a 12-month anniversary of the Issue Date of your Contract. If the Contract Anniversary does not occur on a Business Day, we will consider it to occur on the next Business Day. CONTRACT VALUE - on any Business Day it is equal to the sum of the values in your selected Investment Choices. It does not include amounts applied to Annuity Payments. CONTRACT YEAR - any period of 12 months commencing on the Issue Date and on each Contract Anniversary thereafter. FEBRUARY 2007 CONTRACT - this Contract is available in all states except Washington. FIXED ACCOUNT VALUE - the portion of your Contract Value that is in our general account during the Accumulation Phase. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 71 FPAS (FIXED PERIOD ACCOUNTS) - a type of Investment Choice under our general account that earns interest and is only available during the Accumulation Phase. FPAs have Account Periods of anywhere from one to ten years and only one FPA is available for Purchase Payments or transfers in each Contract Year. You can only allocate up to 50% of any Purchase Payment to the FPAs during the Accumulation Phase. However, in some states the FPAs may only be available for GAV Transfers we make if your Contract includes the Living Guarantees. In addition, if your Contract includes the Living Guarantees, we may transfer more than 50% of the total Purchase Payments received to the FPAs beginning on the second Contract Anniversary. Withdrawals/transfers out of an FPA may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment, which may increase or decrease your Contract Value and/or the amount the withdrawal/transfer. FULL ANNUITIZATION - the application of the entire Contract Value to Annuity Payments. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO TAKE A FULL ANNUITIZATION OF YOUR CONTRACT ON OR BEFORE THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED INCOME DATE. Upon Full Annuitization you will no longer have a Contract Value, any periodic withdrawal or income payments (other than Annuity Payments) will stop, and the death benefit will terminate. In addition, if your Contract includes the Living Guarantees, the FPAs and the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit will no longer be available to you and you will no longer receive any True Ups. GAV (GUARANTEED ACCOUNT VALUE) BENEFIT - a benefit under the Living Guarantees that provides a level of protection for the principal you have invested in the Contract as well as locking in investment gains from prior anniversaries. GAV FIXED ACCOUNT MINIMUM - if your Contract includes the Living Guarantees, this is the minimum amount of Contract Value that we determine must be allocated to an FPA to support the GAV Benefit. You generally cannot reduce the Fixed Account Value in the FPAs below the GAV Fixed Account Minimum. GAV TRANSFERS - if your Contract includes the Living Guarantees, these are the transfers we make between your selected Investment Options and the FPAs as a result of our monitoring your daily Contract Value in order to support the GAV Benefit. GMDB (GUARANTEED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT) - you can select one of two GMDBs at Contract issue that may provide different guaranteed death benefit values. The Traditional GMDB is the default death benefit, or you can select the Enhanced GMDB for an additional M&E charge, subject to certain age restrictions and state availability. GMIB (GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT) - a benefit under the Living Guarantees (in most states) that provides guaranteed minimum fixed income in the form of Annuity Payments (GMIB Payments). GMIB PAYMENT - fixed Annuity Payments we make under the GMIB. GWB (GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT) - a benefit under the Living Guarantees that provides a guaranteed income through partial withdrawals, regardless of your Contract Value, beginning on the second Contract Anniversary. INCOME DATE - the date we begin making Annuity Payments to the Payee from the Contract. This date must be the first day of a calendar month. Because the Contract allows for Partial Annuitizations there may be multiple Income Dates. INVESTMENT CHOICES - the Investment Options and any general account Investment Choices available under the Contract for Purchase Payments or transfers. We may add, substitute or remove Investment Choices in the future. INVESTMENT OPTIONS - the variable Investment Choices available under the Separate Account. You may invest in up to 15 of the Investment Options at any one time. ISSUE DATE - the date shown on the Contract that starts the first Contract Year. Contract Anniversaries and Contract Years are measured from the Issue Date. JOINT OWNERS - two Owners who own a Non-Qualified Contract. We do not allow Joint Owners to take Partial Annuitizations. LIVING GUARANTEES - at issue you can select either a Contract with Living Guarantees or a Contract without Living Guarantees. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE A SELECTION, THE LIVING GUARANTEES WILL APPLY TO YOUR CONTRACT. AFTER THE ISSUE DATE THE LIVING GUARANTEES CANNOT BE ADDED TO OR REMOVED FROM YOUR CONTRACT. The Living Guarantees include the GAV Benefit, the GMIB and the GWB. These benefits are not available individually. The GMIB may not be available in all states. There are no additional fees or charges associated with these benefits. MAV (MAXIMUM ANNIVERSARY VALUE) - a calculation used in determining the GMIB value and the Enhanced GMDB value. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 72 MVA (MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT) - a positive or negative adjustment to amounts withdrawn or transferred from an FPA unless they are made within 30 days of the end of an Account Period. NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACT - a Contract that is not purchased under a pension or retirement plan qualified under sections of the Internal Revenue Code. ORIGINAL CONTRACT - this Contract is only for sale in the state of Washington. OWNER - "you," "your" and "yours." The person or entity (or persons or entities if there are Joint Owners) named in the Contract who may exercise all rights granted by the Contract. The Owner is designated at Contract issue. PARTIAL ANNUITIZATION - the application of only part of the Contract Value to Traditional Annuity Payments (or part of the GMIB value to GMIB Payments if your Contract includes a GMIB). If you take a Partial Annuitization, the Accumulation Phase and Annuity Phase of the Contract may occur at the same time. You can take one Partial Annuitization every 12 months. The maximum number of annuitizations we allow at any one time is five. Partial Annuitizations are not available to Joint Owners. If you take a Partial Annuitization, there can be only one Owner, the Owner must be the Annuitant, and we will not allow the Owner to designate a joint Annuitant. PAYEE - the person or entity you designate (subject to our approval) to receive Annuity Payments during the Annuity Phase. If you do not designate a Payee by the Income Date, we will make Annuity Payments to the Owner. PURCHASE PAYMENT - the money you put in the Contract. QUALIFIED CONTRACT - a Contract purchased under a pension or retirement plan qualified under sections of the Internal Revenue Code (for example, 401(k) and H.R. 10 plans), Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs), or Tax-Sheltered Annuities (referred to as TSA or 403(b) contracts). Currently, we may issue Qualified Contracts that may include, but are not limited to, Roth IRAs, Traditional IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs and Inherited IRAs. SEPARATE ACCOUNT - Allianz Life Variable Account B is the Separate Account that issues your Contract. It is a separate investment account of Allianz Life. The Separate Account holds the assets invested in the Investment Options that underlie the Contracts. The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts, each of which invests exclusively in a single Investment Option. SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUE - the portion of your Contract Value that is in the subaccounts of the Separate Account during the Accumulation Phase. We calculate the Separate Account Value by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value in each subaccount by the number of Accumulation Units for each subaccount and then adding those results together. SERVICE CENTER - the Allianz Service Center. Our Service Center address and telephone number are listed at the back of this prospectus. TRADITIONAL ANNUITY PAYMENTS - Annuity Payments we make to the Payee based on the Contract Value. TRUE UP - an amount we may pay into your Contract under the GAV Benefit. On the fifth and subsequent Contract Anniversaries, we will compare your Contract Value to the GAV established five years ago, adjusted for any partial withdrawals taken in the last five Contract Years. If your Contract Value on these occasions is less than this amount, we will pay into your Contract an amount equal to that difference. We will allocate this amount to your Investment Options in proportion to the amount of Separate Account Value in each of the Investment Options on the date of allocation. We refer to this payment as a True Up. WITHDRAWAL CHARGE BASIS - the total amount under your Contract that is subject to a withdrawal charge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 73 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14.

Our principal underwriter, Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC, will receive 12b-1 fees, except for those classes of shares that do not pay a 12b-1 fee, as identified in footnote (8). (1) Allianz Investment Management LLC (AZL), the Investment Option's investment adviser, and the Investment Option have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses to the "after waiver" amount listed above through April 30, 2009. The operating expenses covered by the expense limitation agreement include fees deducted from Investment Option assets such as audit fees and payments to independent trustees, but do not include the operating expenses of other investment companies in which the Investment Option may invest (acquired fund fees and expenses). The Investment Option is authorized to reimburse AZL for management fees previously waived and/or for the cost of other expenses paid by AZL provided that such reimbursement will not cause the Investment Option to exceed the expense limits in effect at the time of such reimbursement. The Investment Option's ability to reimburse AZL in this manner only applies to fees paid or reimbursement made by AZL within the three fiscal years prior to the date of such reimbursement. (2) PIMCO has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee and the administration fee it receives from the Portfolio in an amount equal to the advisory fee and administration fee, respectively, paid to PIMCO by the subsidiary. This waiver may not be terminated by PIMCO and will remain in effect for as long as PIMCO's contract with the subsidiary is in place. (3) The Fund administration fee is paid indirectly through the management fee. (4) The Fund's fees and expenses have been restated as if the Fund's new investment management and fund administration agreements had been in place for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The manager and administrator, however, have contractually agreed in advance to waive or limit their respective fees so that the increase in investment management and fund administration fees paid by the Fund are phased in over a five year period, with there being no increase in the rate of such fees for the first year ending April 30, 2008. For each of the four years thereafter through April 30, 2012, the manager and administrator will receive one-fifth of the increase in the rate of fees. Beginning May 1, 2012, the full new investment management and administration fees will then be in effect. (5) The manager has agreed in advance to reduce its fee from assets invested by the Fund in a Franklin Templeton money market fund (the acquired fund) to the extent that the Fund's fees and expenses are due to those of the acquired fund. This reduction is required by the Trust's board of trustees and an exemptive order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). (6) The Investment Option commenced operations under this Contract as of May 1, 2008. Therefore, the expenses shown are estimated for the current calendar year. (7) We may enter into certain arrangements under which we, or our affiliate Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC, the principal underwriter for the Contracts, are compensated by the Investment Options' advisers, distributors and/or affiliates for the administrative services and benefits which we provide to the Investment Options. The amount of the compensation usually is based on the aggregate assets of the Investment Options of other investment portfolios from contracts that we issue or administer. Some advisers may pay us more or less than others, however, the maximum fee that we currently receive is at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average aggregate amount invested by us in the Investment Options. (8) The Investment Option has both Class 1 shares and Class 2 shares. Class 2 shares pay a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.25% of its average daily assets. Class 1 shares do not pay a 12b-1 fee. (9) Not currently available. (10) Effective December 1, 2007, the administrator has contractually agreed to waive or limit its fee and to assume as its own expense certain expenses, otherwise payable by the Fund, excluding acquired funds' fees and expenses, so that direct operating expenses of the fund do not exceed 0.38% (other than certain non-routine expenses or costs, including those relating to litigation, indemnification, reorganizations, and liquidations) until April 30, 2009. (11) OpCap Advisors has contractually agreed to reduce the total annual portfolio operating expenses to the extent they would exceed 1.00% (net of any expenses offset by earnings credits from the custodian bank) of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. This reduction of annual portfolio operating expenses is guaranteed by OpCap Advisors through December 31, 2015. Net portfolio operating expenses do not reflect a reduction of custody expenses offset by custody credits earned on cash balances at the custodian bank. (12) Acquired fund fees and expenses for the Portfolio are based upon an allocation of the Portfolio's assets among the underlying funds and upon the total annual operating expenses of the institutional shares of these underlying funds. Acquired fund fees and expenses will vary with changes in the expenses of the underlying funds, as well as allocation of the Portfolio's assets, and may be higher or lower than those shown above. (13) PIMCO has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee and/or administration fee. See the Investment Option prospectus for further information.

We show the expenses as a percentage of an Investment Option's average daily net assets. The underlying funds may pay 12b-1 fees to the distributor of the Contracts for distribution and/or administrative services. The underlying funds do not pay service fees or 12b-1 fees to the AZL FusionPortfolios, and the AZL FusionPortfolios do not pay service fees or 12b-1 fees. The underlying funds of the AZL FusionPortfolios may pay service fees to the insurance companies issuing variable contracts, or their affiliates, for providing customer service and other administrative services to contract purchasers. The amount of such service fees may vary depending on the underlying fund.

Our principal underwriter, Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC, will receive 12b-1 fees. (1) Allianz Investment Management LLC (AZL), the Investment Option's investment adviser, and the Investment Option have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses (excluding certain fund expenses including, but not limited to, any taxes, interest, brokerage fees or extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.30% through at least April 30, 2009. The operating expenses covered by the expense limitation include fees deducted from fund assets such as audit fees and payments to outside trustees, but do not include the operating expenses of other investment companies in which the funds may invest (acquired fund fees and expenses). Acquired fund fees and expenses are incurred indirectly by the Investment Option(s) through the Investment Option's investment in permitted underlying funds. Accordingly, acquired fees and expenses affect the Investment Option's total returns. The Investment Option is authorized to reimburse AZL for fees previously waived and/or for the cost of other expenses paid by AZL provided that such reimbursement will not cause the Investment Option to exceed the expense limits in effect at the time of such reimbursement. AZL may request and receive reimbursement of fees waived or limited and other reimbursements made by AZL. The Investment Option's ability to reimburse AZL in this manner only applies to fees paid or reimbursement made by AZL within the three fiscal years prior to the date of such reimbursement. (2) Persons with Contract Value allocated to the AZL FusionPortfolios will also indirectly pay the expenses of the underlying funds. The underlying fund fees and expenses are an estimate. These expenses will vary, depending upon the allocation of assets to individual underlying funds. In addition, it can be expected that underlying funds may be added or deleted as investments, with a resulting change in expenses. The investment advisers to the underlying funds or their affiliates may pay "service fees" to Allianz Life or its affiliates for providing customer service and other administrative services to Contract purchasers. The amount of such fees may vary by underlying fund. The underlying funds may also pay Rule 12b-1 distribution fees to the distributor of the Contracts. The underlying funds do not pay service fees or 12b-1 fees to the AZL FusionPortfolios, and the AZL FusionPortfolios do not pay service fees or 12b-1 fees.

EXAMPLES o You purchase a February 2007 Contract with the Living Guarantees and make an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. All Owners are age 55 or younger on the Issue Date. You make no additional Purchase Payments. o The MAV on the fifth Contract Anniversary is $120,000. o The MAV on the seventh Contract Anniversary is $150,000. o You take a partial withdrawal of $20,000 (including the withdrawal charge) in the eighth Contract Year when the Contract Value on the date of (but before) the partial withdrawal is $160,000. The withdrawal charge period on the initial Purchase Payment has expired, so there is no withdrawal charge on this partial withdrawal. There is no MVA at the time of the partial withdrawal. You take no other partial withdrawals. o The Contract Value on the eighth Contract Anniversary is $110,000. o The MAV on the tenth Contract Anniversary is $180,000. o The MAV on the fifteenth Contract Anniversary is $230,000. The GMIB adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to: The amount of the partial withdrawal subject to the partial withdrawal privilege

You make only one initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. You make no additional Purchase Payments, therefore, the calculations of the GAV that follows will not include reference to additional Purchase Payments. o The Contract Value on the first Contract Anniversary is $120,000; on the second Contract Anniversary it is $135,000; on the third Contract Anniversary it is $150,000; and on the fourth Contract Anniversary it is $135,000. o You take a partial withdrawal of $20,000 (including the withdrawal charge) in the fourth Contract Year when the Contract Value on the date of (but before) the partial withdrawal is $160,000. There is no MVA at the time of the partial withdrawal. You take no other partial withdrawals. The initial GAV.......................................................................................... $100,000 The GAV on the first Contract Anniversary equals the greater of A or B: (A)the initial GAV = $100,000 (B)the Contract Value on the first Contract Anniversary = $120,000 The GAV on the first Contract Anniversary.................................................................$120,000 The GAV on the second Contract Anniversary equals the greater of C or D: (C)the GAV from the first Contract Anniversary = $120,000 (D)the Contract Value on the second Contract Anniversary = $135,000 The GAV on the second Contract Anniversary................................................................$135,000 The GAV on the third Contract Anniversary equals the greater of C or D: (C)= the GAV from the second Contract Anniversary = $135,000 (D)the Contract Value on the third Contract Anniversary = $150,000 The GAV on the third Contract Anniversary.................................................................$150,000 Calculating the GAV adjusted partial withdrawal taken in the fourth Contract Year: The amount of the partial withdrawal subject to the partial withdrawal privilege (12% of total Purchase Payments) = 0.12 x $100,000 =..................................$12,000 PLUS The remaining amount of the partial withdrawal (including any withdrawal charge)........+ (8,000 Multiplied by the greater of a) or b) where: (a) one, or (b) the GAV divided by the Contract Value on the date of (but before) the partial withdrawal = $150,0000/$160,0000 = 0.94.....................................................X 1) ---------- Total GAV adjusted partial withdrawal....................................................$20,000 ======= The GAV on the fourth Contract Anniversary equals the greater of C or D: (C)the GAV from the third Contract Anniversary, minus the GAV adjusted partial withdrawal taken in the fourth Contract Year = $150,000 - $20,000 = $130,000 (D)the Contract Value on the fourth Contract Anniversary = $135,000 The GAV on the fourth Contract Anniversary................................................................$135,000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 87 APPLYING THE GAV BENEFIT: o On the fifth Contract Anniversary, the Contract Value is $105,000. The initial GAV is $100,000. We subtract all the GAV adjusted partial withdrawals taken in the last five years ($20,000), for a total of $80,000. The fifth anniversary Contract Value is greater than the initial GAV adjusted for the partial withdrawal taken in the fourth year, so there is no True Up on the fifth Contract Anniversary. o On the sixth Contract Anniversary, the Contract Value is $108,000. The GAV established five years ago on the first Contract Anniversary is $120,000. We subtract all the GAV adjusted partial withdrawals taken in the last five years ($20,000), for a total of $100,000. The sixth anniversary Contract Value is greater than the GAV from the first Contract Anniversary adjusted for the partial withdrawal taken in the fourth year, so there is no True Up on the sixth Contract Anniversary. o On the seventh Contract Anniversary, the Contract Value is $110,000. The GAV established five years ago on the second Contract Anniversary is $135,000. We subtract all the GAV adjusted partial withdrawals taken in the last five years ($20,000), for a total of $115,000. The seventh Anniversary Contract Value is less than the GAV from the second Contract Anniversary adjusted for the partial withdrawal taken in the fourth year, so we will True Up the Contract Value to equal this amount by applying $5,000 to the Investment Options on the seventh Contract Anniversary.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 88 APPENDIX E - DEATH BENEFIT CALCULATION EXAMPLES o You purchase a February 2007 Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. You choose not to include the Living Guarantees and you allocate your entire Purchase Payment to the Investment Options. You are the only Owner and are age 69 or younger on the Issue Date. You make no additional Purchase Payments. o You take a partial withdrawal of $20,000 in the tenth Contract Year when the Contract Value on the date of (but before the partial withdrawal) is $160,000. The withdrawal charge period on the initial Purchase Payment has expired so there is no withdrawal charge on this partial withdrawal. o The Contract Value on the tenth Contract Anniversary is $140,000. NOTE: We calculate the MAV only for Contracts with the Enhanced GMDB. The M&E charges are higher for Contracts with the Enhanced GMDB than for Contracts with the Traditional GMDB. If the differences in these charges were reflected in these examples, the Contract Values would be lower for Contracts with the Enhanced GMDB than for Contracts with the Traditional GMDB. IF YOU ELECTED THE TRADITIONAL GMDB: We calculate the death benefit on the tenth Contract Anniversary as the greater of:
1) Contract Value ............................................................................................$140,000 2) The Traditional GMDB value: Total Purchase Payments received..........................................................................$100,000 Reduced by the GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal.....................................................- 20,000 ---------- $ 80,000 The GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal for (2) above is equal to: The amount of the partial withdrawal........................................................$ 20,000 Multiplied by the greater of a) or b) where: a) is one, and b) is the ratio of the death benefit divided by the Contract Value on the day of (but before) the partial withdrawal = $160,0000/$160,0000 = 1..........X 1 -------- Total GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal......................................................$ 20,000 ======== Therefore, the death benefit that would be payable as of the tenth Contract Anniversary is the $140,000 Contract Value. IF YOU ELECTED THE ENHANCED GMDB: The following details how we calculate the MAV on the first nine Contract Anniversaries: CONTRACT VALUE MAV ------------------- ------------ 1st Contract Anniversary $110,000 $110,000 2nd Contract Anniversary $118,000 $118,000 3rd Contract Anniversary $116,000 $118,000 4th Contract Anniversary $122,000 $122,000 5th Contract Anniversary $120,000 $122,000 6th Contract Anniversary $141,000 $141,000 7th Contract Anniversary $147,000 $147,000 8th Contract Anniversary $155,000 $155,000 9th Contract Anniversary $162,000 $162,000 o On the Issue Date, the MAV is equal to total Purchase Payments ($100,000). o On the first Contract Anniversary the Contract Value is $110,000, which is greater than the MAV from the immediately preceding Business Day ($100,000), so the MAV increases to $110,000. o On the second Contract Anniversary the Contract Value is $118,000, which is greater than the MAV from the immediately preceding Business Day ($110,000), so the MAV increases to $118,000. o On the third Contract Anniversary the Contract Value is $116,000, which is less than the MAV from the immediately preceding Business Day ($118,000), so the MAV does not change. o On the fourth Contract Anniversary the Contract Value is $122,000, which is greater than the MAV from the immediately preceding Business Day ($118,000), so the MAV increases to $122,000. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89 o On the fifth Contract Anniversary the Contract Value is $120,000, which is less than the MAV from the immediately preceding Business Day ($122,000), so the MAV does not change. o On the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth Contract Anniversaries the Contract Value is greater than the MAV from the immediately preceding Business Day, so the MAV increases to equal the Contract Value. We calculate the death benefit on the tenth Contract Anniversary as the greater of: 1) Contract Value ............................................................................................$140,000 2) The Traditional GMDB value: Total Purchase Payments received..........................................................................$100,000 Reduced by the GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal.....................................................- 20,250 ---------- $ 79,750 3) The Enhanced GMDB value: The MAV on the ninth Contract Anniversary.................................................................$162,000 Reduced by the GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal.....................................................- 20,250 ---------- $141,750 The GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal for (2) and (3) above is equal to: The amount of the partial withdrawal........................................................$ 20,000 Multiplied by the greater of a) or b) where: a) is one, and b) is the ratio of the death benefit divided by the Contract Value on the date of (but before) the partial withdrawal = $162,0000/$160,0000 = 1.0125....X 1.0125 -------- Total GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal......................................................$ 20,250 ======== Therefore, the death benefit that would be payable as of the tenth Contract Anniversary is the $141,750 MAV.

However, Owners of the Original Contract can still make additional Purchase Payments. The Original Contract has different product features and expenses than the February 2007 Contract that is currently offered for sale in all other states. The May 2005 Contract is no longer offered for sale. Information on the May 2005 Contract is included in the Statement of Additional Information. The Original Contract product features and expenses may include, but are not limited to the following. o No restrictions on allocations of Purchase Payments to the FPAs. o Annuity Option 6 was available for fixed and/or variable Annuity Payments. o If an Owner requests variable Annuity Payments under Annuity Option 2, 4, or 6 they can also take money out of the Contract during the Annuity Phase (take a liquidation). o Liquidations during the Annuity Phase under Annuity Option 2 or 4 were subject to a commutation fee. o Liquidations under Annuity Option 6 were subject to a withdrawal charge. o There was no minimum or maximum on MVAs for partial transfers or partial withdrawals from the FPAs and the FPA guaranteed minimum value applied only upon a complete transfer or full withdrawal from the FPAs. o The formula for the FPA guaranteed minimum value was different (please see the discussion that follows). o The GWB was immediately available for exercise. o The GWB terminated upon the earliest of Contract termination or the Income Date. o The formula for all GMIB adjusted partial withdrawals was the same as the formula for GMIB adjusted partial withdrawals taken on or after the second Contract Anniversary for the Contract we currently offer (please see section 2, The Annuity Phase - GMIB Adjusted Partial Withdrawals). o The formula for GAV adjusted partial withdrawals was the same as the formula for GAV adjusted partial withdrawals taken on or after the second Contract Anniversary for the Contract we currently offer (please see section 6, Guaranteed Account Value (GAV) Benefit - Calculating the GAV). o The formula for GWB adjusted partial withdrawals was the same as the formula for GWB adjusted partial withdrawals taken on or after the second Contract Anniversary for the Contract we currently offer (please see section 9, Access to Your Money - Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (GWB)). o The formula for GMDB adjusted partial withdrawals was different (please see the discussion that follows). o The mortality and expense risk (M&E) charge for the Original Contract issued BEFORE June 22, 2007 is greater than the M&E charge for the Original Contract issued ON OR AFTER June 22, 2007 and for the February 2007 Contract. LIQUIDATIONS UNDER ANNUITY OPTION 2. LIFE ANNUITY WITH MONTHLY PAYMENTS OVER 5, 10, 15 OR 20 YEARS GUARANTEED. For the Original Contract, if you request variable Traditional Annuity Payments under this Annuity Option you may be able to take a liquidation during the Annuity Phase. You may request a liquidation while the Annuitant is alive and the number of variable Traditional Annuity Payments made is less than the guaranteed number of payments selected. We will allow you to take a partial liquidation at least once each Contract Year starting five years after the Income Date. The liquidation value available to you is the present value of the remaining guaranteed number of variable Traditional Annuity Payments, based on the Annuity Payment's current value, to the end of the guaranteed period, using the selected AIR as the interest rate for the present value calculation. The total of all partial liquidations, measured as the sum of the percentages of the total liquidation value at the time of each partial liquidation, cannot exceed 75%. We will subtract a commutation fee from the amount you take out before we pay you the proceeds. We will process partial liquidations within seven days after your written request is received in good order at our Service Center. After a partial liquidation, we will reduce the subsequent monthly Annuity Payments during the remaining guaranteed period by the percentage of liquidation value withdrawn, including the commutation fee. After we have made the guaranteed number of variable Traditional Annuity Payments, the number of Annuity Units used in calculating the monthly variable Traditional Annuity Payments will be restored to their original value as if no liquidations had taken place. LIQUIDATIONS UNDER OPTION 4. JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY WITH MONTHLY PAYMENTS OVER 5, 10, 15 OR 20 YEARS GUARANTEED. For the Original Contract, if you request variable Traditional Annuity Payments under this Annuity Option, you may be able to take a liquidation during the Annuity Phase.

We will subtract a commutation fee from the amount you take out before we pay you the proceeds. We will process partial liquidations within seven days after your written request is received in good order at our Service Center. After a partial liquidation, we will reduce the subsequent monthly variable Traditional Annuity Payments during the remaining guaranteed period by the percentage of liquidation value withdrawn, including the commutation fee. After we have made the guaranteed number of variable Traditional Annuity Payments, the number of Annuity Units used in calculating the monthly variable Traditional Annuity Payments will be restored to their original value as if no liquidations had taken place. LIQUIDATIONS UNDER ANNUITY OPTION 6. SPECIFIED PERIOD CERTAIN ANNUITY. For the Original Contract, if you request variable Traditional Annuity Payments under this Annuity Option, you may be able to take a liquidation during the Annuity Phase. You may request a liquidation at least once each Contract Year of up to 100% of the liquidation value in the Contract. The liquidation value is equal to the present value of the remaining variable Traditional Annuity Payments based on the Payment's current value, to the end of the period certain, using the selected AIR as the interest rate for the present value calculation. We will subtract a withdrawal charge from the amount you take out before we pay you the proceeds. We will process the liquidation within seven days after your written request is received in good order at our Service Center, reduced as set forth in the Contract. After a partial liquidation, we will reduce the subsequent monthly variable Traditional Annuity Payments during the remaining specified period certain by the percentage of the liquidation value withdrawn, including the withdrawal charge. THE FPA GUARANTEED MINIMUM VALUE FOR THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT IS EQUAL TO: The greater of (a) or (b) where: (a) = all allocations to the FPAs less partial withdrawals (including any withdrawal charges), Partial Annuitizations and transfers from the FPAs. (b) = 87.5% of all allocations to the FPAs, less all partial withdrawals (including any withdrawal charges), Partial Annuitizations, and transfers from the FPAs, accumulated at the FPA guaranteed minimum value interest rate specified in the Contract (which is 3%). PLUS upon a full withdrawal, the amount of the withdrawal charge that we assign to the FPAs. We base this amount on the percentage of Contract Value in the FPAs (for example, if 25% of the Contract Value is in the FPAs, then upon a full withdrawal we would assign 25% of any withdrawal charge to the FPAs). For the Original Contract, in no event will the Contract Value in a FPA after application of the MVA be less than the FPA guaranteed minimum value upon complete transfer or full withdrawal. All partial withdrawals, Partial Annuitizations and transfers in this calculation of the FPA guaranteed minimum value for the Original Contract does not reflect any MVA. COMMUTATION FEE/WITHDRAWAL CHARGE FOR LIQUIDATIONS ON THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT: If you request variable Traditional Annuity Payments under Annuity Option 2 or 4 you may be able to take a liquidation during the Annuity Phase. Liquidations are first allowed five years after the Income Date. If you take a liquidation under Annuity Option 2 or 4 we will assess a commutation fee against the amount you withdraw. COMMUTATION FEE DURING THE ANNUITY PHASE - THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT ONLY (as a percentage of amount liquidated under variable traditional Annuity Option 2 or 4) NUMBER OF COMPLETE YEARS SINCE INCOME DATE CHARGE 5 4% 6 3% 7 2% 8 years or more 1% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 92 If you request variable Traditional Annuity Payments under Annuity Option 6 you may be able to take a liquidation during the Annuity Phase. If you take a liquidation under Annuity Option 6 we may assess a withdrawal charge against the amount you withdraw.

We assess the commutation fee and/or the withdrawal charge to cover lost revenue as well as internal costs incurred in conjunction with the liquidation. SEPARATE ACCOUNT ANNUAL EXPENSES (Includes the mortality and expense risk (M&E) charges.) (as a percentage of average daily assets invested in a subaccount on an annual basis) M&E CHARGES ORIGINAL CONTRACT ISSUED BEFORE JUNE 22, 2007 Traditional GMDB 1.40% Enhanced GMDB 1.60% THE GMDB ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL FORMULA FOR THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT IS EQUAL TO: FPW + (RPW X GMDB) FPW = The amount of the partial withdrawal (before any MVA) that together with any other previous partial withdrawals taken during the Contract Year does not exceed 12% of total Purchase Payments (the partial withdrawal privilege). However, if you take a traditional Partial Annuitization, the entire amount of Contract Value (before any MVA) applied to the traditional Partial Annuitization will be included in the RPW portion of this formula. RPW = The remaining amount of the partial withdrawal, including any applicable withdrawal charge, but the application of any MVA. GMDB = The greater of one, or (a) divided by (b) where: (a) = the death benefit on the day of (but before) the partial withdrawal. (b) = the Contract Value on the day of (but before) the partial withdrawal, adjusted for any applicable MVA. If you take a GMIB Partial Annuitization, the GMDB adjusted partial withdrawal formula for the Original Contract is the same as it is for the February 2007 Contract currently offered for sale in most states. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 93 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APPENDIX G - WITHDRAWAL CHARGE EXAMPLES All of the following examples assume you purchase a February 2007 Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, you select the Living Guarantees, and you make no additional Purchase Payments. The partial withdrawal privilege for each Contract Year is 12% of your total Purchase Payments, less the total amount previously withdrawn under the partial withdrawal privilege in the same Contract Year, and before any MVA. Any unused partial withdrawal privilege in one Contract Year does not carry over to the next Contract Year. This means at the beginning of each Contract Year, there would be at least $12,000 available under the partial withdrawal privilege. The maximum amount available under the GWB is the lesser of the partial withdrawal privilege ($12,000) or the remaining GWB value (total Purchase Payments less GWB adjusted partial withdrawals). There is no MVA to any of the withdrawals in the following examples. FULL WITHDRAWAL WHEN THE CONTRACT VALUE HAS DECLINED DUE TO A LOSS IN YOUR SELECTED INVESTMENT OPTIONS: o You take a full withdrawal in the third Contract Year when the Contract Value is $90,000 and the withdrawal charge is 7%. You have taken no other withdrawals from the Contract. o There are no Purchase Payments that are beyond the withdrawal charge period and the partial withdrawal privilege does not apply upon a full withdrawal. Because this is a full withdrawal, we assess the withdrawal charge against the entire Withdrawal Charge Basis. We calculate the withdrawal charge as follows:
The Withdrawal Charge Basis is total Purchase Payments, less any Purchase Payments withdrawn (excluding any penalty-free withdrawals), less any withdrawal charges = $100,000 - $0 - $0 = ....................$100,000 Multiplied by the withdrawal charge.............................................................X 7% ---------- .........................................................................................$ 7,000 ========== Therefore, we would withdraw $90,000 from the Contract and pay you $83,000 ($90,000 less the $7,000 withdrawal charge). The full withdrawal will reduce the total amount available under the GWB to zero. PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL UNDER THE PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE FOLLOWED BY A FULL WITHDRAWAL: o You take a partial withdrawal of $9,000 in the third Contract Year. The total amount available under the partial withdrawal privilege at this time is $12,000. The $9,000 withdrawn is not subject to a withdrawal charge and will not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. The partial withdrawal will reduce the total amount available under the GWB by $9,000. o You take a full withdrawal in the fourth Contract Year when the Contract Value is $90,000 and the withdrawal charge is 6%. At this time there are no Purchase Payments that are beyond the withdrawal charge period. Because this is a full withdrawal, the partial withdrawal privilege does not apply and we will assess the withdrawal charge against the entire Withdrawal Charge Basis. We calculate the withdrawal charge for the full withdrawal as follows: The Withdrawal Charge Basis is total Purchase Payments, less any Purchase Payments withdrawn (excluding any penalty-free withdrawals), less any withdrawal charges = $100,000 - $0 - $0 = ....................$100,000 Multiplied by the withdrawal charge.............................................................X 6% ---------- .........................................................................................$ 6,000 ========== Therefore, upon the full withdrawal, we would withdraw $90,000 from the Contract and pay you $84,000 ($90,000 less the $6,000 withdrawal charge). In this example, your total distributions from the Contract after deducting the withdrawal charges are $93,000. The full withdrawal will reduce the total amount available under the GWB to zero. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 94 PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL IN EXCESS OF THE PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE FOLLOWED BY A FULL WITHDRAWAL: o You take a partial withdrawal of $15,000 in the third Contract Year when the withdrawal charge is 7%. The total amount available under the partial withdrawal privilege at this time is $12,000, so $3,000 of the withdrawal is subject to a withdrawal charge and will reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. We calculate the withdrawal charge for the partial withdrawal as follows: The amount you will receive that is subject to a withdrawal charge..................................$3,000 Divided by (1 minus the withdrawal charge percentage).............................................../ 0.93 ------ Total amount withdrawn..............................................................................$3,226 Total withdrawal charge (amount withdrawn minus the amount requested) = $3,226 - $3,000 =..........$ 226 ======= Therefore, we would withdraw $15,226 from the Contract and pay you $15,000. The partial withdrawal will reduce the GWB by a minimum of $15,226. The reduction will be greater if the Contract Value on the day of (but before) the partial withdrawal is less than $100,000. o Continuing the example, assume you take a full withdrawal in the fourth Contract Year when the Contract Value is $90,000 and the withdrawal charge is 6%. At this time there are no Purchase Payments that are beyond the withdrawal charge period. Because this is a full withdrawal, the partial withdrawal privilege does not apply and we will assess the withdrawal charge against the entire Withdrawal Charge Basis. We calculate the withdrawal charge for the full withdrawal as follows: The Withdrawal Charge Basis is total Purchase Payments, less any Purchase Payments withdrawn (excluding any penalty-free withdrawals), less any withdrawal charges = $100,000 - $3,000 - $226 = ...............$96,774 Multiplied by the withdrawal charge..............................................................X 6% --------- ...........................................................................................$ 5,806 ========
Therefore, upon the full withdrawal, we would withdraw $90,000 from the Contract and pay you $84,194 ($90,000 less the $5,806 withdrawal charge). In this example, your total distributions from the Contract after deducting the withdrawal charges are $99,194. The full withdrawal will reduce the total amount available under the GWB to zero. A SERIES OF PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS UNDER THE PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE FOLLOWED BY A FULL WITHDRAWAL: o You take the maximum amount available under the partial withdrawal privilege each year in the third, fourth, and fifth Contract Years (total distributions = $36,000). The $36,000 withdrawn is not subject to a withdrawal charge and will not reduce the Withdrawal Charge Basis. These partial withdrawals are guaranteed by the GWB, and will reduce the GWB by $36,000. The total amount available under the GWB after these partial withdrawals is equal to $100,000 - $36,000 = $64,000. o In the sixth Contract Year, the Contract Value is $11,000 and the maximum amount available under the GWB is $12,000. If you withdraw $12,000 under the GWB in the sixth Contract Year, your Contract Value would drop to zero, but you could continue to take $12,000 each year for the next four years and then make a final withdrawal of $4,000 in the eleventh Contract Year without incurring a withdrawal charge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract Prospectus May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR SERVICE OR MORE INFORMATION In order to help you understand how your Contract Values vary over time and under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you with certain personalized illustrations upon request and free of charge.

We are a subsidiary of Allianz of America, Inc. (AZOA), a financial holding company. AZOA is a subsidiary of Allianz SE, a provider of integrated financial services. Allianz SE is headquartered in Munich, Germany, and has sales outlets throughout the world. We offer fixed and variable annuities, individual and group life insurance, and long-term care insurance. Allianz Life does not have a separate custodian for the assets owned through the Separate Account. Most mutual fund shares are not in certificated form, and as such, Allianz Life in effect acts as self custodian for the non-certificated shares we own through the Separate Account. EXPERTS The financial statements of Allianz Life Variable Account B as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 (including the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two year period then ended) and the consolidated financial statements and supplemental schedules of Allianz Life as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, included in this SAI have been audited by KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as indicated in their report included in this SAI and are included herein in reliance upon such reports and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The principal business address of KPMG LLP is 4200 Wells Fargo Center, Minneapolis, MN. LEGAL OPINIONS Stewart D. Gregg, Senior Securities Counsel of Allianz Life, has provided legal advice on certain matters in connection with the issuance of the Contracts. DISTRIBUTOR Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (Allianz Life Financial (previously USAllianz Investor Services, LLC)), a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, acts as the distributor. Allianz Life Financial does not sell the Contracts on a retail basis. Rather, Allianz Life Financial enters into selling agreements with other third-party broker/dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (selling firms) for the sale of the Contracts. The Contracts are offered to the public on a continuous basis. We anticipate continuing to offer the Contracts, but reserve the right to discontinue the offering. We pay commissions for sales of the Contracts. Allianz Life Financial passes through most of the commissions it receives to selling firms for their sales. Allianz Life Financial received sales compensation with respect to the Contracts issued under Allianz Life Variable Account B in the following amounts during the last three calendar years:

We may fund Allianz Life Financial's operating and other expenses including: overhead; legal and accounting fees; registered representative training; deferred compensation and insurance benefits for registered representatives; compensation for the Allianz Life Financial management team; and other expenses associated with the Contracts. We also pay for Allianz Life Financial's operating and other expenses, including overhead, legal and accounting fees. As described above, Allianz Life Financial sells its Contracts primarily through "wholesaling", in which Allianz Life Financial sells contracts through a large group of mostly non-affiliated broker/dealer firms. Currently, Allianz Life Financial has agreements with approximately 1,116 retail broker/dealers to sell its Contracts. All of the broker/dealer firms except one are non-affiliated. As described in the prospectus, Allianz Life Financial may pay marketing support payments to certain of these firms for providing marketing support services in the sale of the Contracts. Currently, Allianz Life Financial makes marketing support payments to approximately 40-45 firms. These payments vary in amount. In 2007, the five firms receiving the largest payments, ranging from $525,320 to $1,867,575, are listed below. Marketing support payments may also be made to managers of Investment Options or their affiliates for providing Investment Option information and marketing support. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 FIRM NAME --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- 1 LPL Financial Network 2 AIG Advisor Group 3 National Planning Holdings 4 H D Vest Investments 5 Raymond James REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE We may reduce or eliminate the amount of the withdrawal charge on the Contracts when Contract sales are made to individuals or to a group of individuals in a manner that results in savings of sales expenses. We will determine the entitlement to a reduction of the withdrawal charge after examination of the following factors: o the size of the group; o the total amount of Purchase Payments expected to be received from the group; o the nature of the group for which the Contracts are purchased, and the persistency expected in that group (for example, the expectation that the Owners will continue to hold the Contracts for a certain period of time); o the purpose for which the Contracts are purchased and whether that purpose makes it likely that expenses will be reduced; and o any other circumstances which we believe to be relevant to determining whether reduced sales or administrative expenses may be expected. None of these reductions are contractually guaranteed. We may eliminate the withdrawal charge when the Contracts are issued to an officer, director or employee of Allianz Life or any of its affiliates. We may reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge when the Contract is sold by a registered representative appointed with Allianz Life to any members of his or her immediate family and the commission is waived. In no event will any reduction or elimination of the withdrawal charge be permitted where the reduction or elimination will be unfairly discriminatory to any person. FEDERAL TAX STATUS NOTE: THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION IS BASED UPON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW APPLICABLE TO ANNUITIES IN GENERAL. WE CANNOT PREDICT THE PROBABILITY THAT ANY CHANGES IN SUCH LAWS WILL BE MADE. PURCHASERS ARE CAUTIONED TO SEEK COMPETENT TAX ADVICE REGARDING THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CHANGES. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE TAX STATUS OF THE CONTRACTS. PURCHASERS BEAR THE COMPLETE RISK THAT THE CONTRACTS MAY NOT BE TREATED AS "ANNUITY CONTRACTS" UNDER FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS. IT SHOULD BE FURTHER UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE AND THAT SPECIAL RULES NOT DESCRIBED HEREIN MAY BE APPLICABLE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. MOREOVER, NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO CONSIDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE OR OTHER TAX LAWS. GENERAL Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) governs taxation of annuities in general. An Owner is generally not taxed on increases in the value of a Contract until distribution occurs, either in the form of a lump sum payment or as Annuity Payments. For a lump sum payment received as a full withdrawal (total redemption) or death benefit, the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the cost basis of the Contract (your investment). For Non-Qualified Contracts, this cost basis is generally the Purchase Payments, while for Qualified Contracts there may be no cost basis. The taxable portion of the lump sum payment is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. A partial withdrawal results in tax on any gain in the Contract (for example, the difference, if any, between the Contract Value immediately before the withdrawal, unreduced by any charges, and the Contract's cash basis). Lump sum withdrawals, whether partial or full, may also be subject to a federal penalty tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount. For Annuity Payments, the portion of each payment included in income equals the excess of the payment over the exclusion amount. The exclusion amount for Annuity Payments based on a variable Annuity Option is determined by dividing the investment in the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund guarantee) by the number of years over which the annuity is expected to be paid (which is determined by Treasury Regulations). The exclusion amount for Annuity Payments based on a fixed Annuity Option is determined by multiplying the Annuity Payment by the ratio that the investment in the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund guarantee) bears to the expected return under the Contract. Annuity Payments received after the investment in the Contract has been recovered (for example, when the total of the excludable amounts equal the investment in the Contract) are fully taxable. The taxable portion of an Annuity Payment is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Partial Annuitizations are taxed as partial withdrawals, not as Annuity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Payments, until the entire Contract Value has been applied to Annuity Payments. For certain types of Qualified Contracts there may be no cost basis in the Contract within the meaning of Section 72 of the Code. Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries under the Contracts should seek competent financial advice about the tax consequences of any distributions. We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For federal income tax purposes, the Separate Account is not a separate entity from us, and its operations form a part of Allianz Life. Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Contract could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Contract. We have the right to modify the Contract in response to legislative changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity Owners currently receive. We make no guarantee regarding the tax status of any contract and do not intend the above discussion as tax advice. DIVERSIFICATION Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain diversification standards on the underlying assets of variable annuity contracts. The Code provides that a variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for any period (and any subsequent period) for which the investments are not adequately diversified in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United States Treasury Department (Treasury Department). Disqualification of the Contract as an annuity contract would result in the imposition of federal income tax to the Owner with respect to earnings allocable to the Contract before the receipt of Annuity Payments under the Contract. The Code contains a safe harbor provision which provides that annuity contracts, such as the Contract, meet the diversification requirements if, as of the end of each quarter, the underlying assets meet the diversification standards for a regulated investment company and no more than 55% of the total assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies. On March 2, 1989, the Treasury Department issued regulations (Treas. Reg. 1.817-5) which established diversification requirements for the Investment Options underlying variable contracts such as the Contract. The regulations amplify the diversification requirements for variable contracts set forth in the Code and provide an alternative to the safe harbor provision described above. Under these regulations, an Investment Option will be deemed adequately diversified if: o no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the Investment Option is represented by any one investment; o no more than 70% of the value of the total assets of the Investment Option is represented by any two investments; o no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the Investment Option is represented by any three investments; and o no more than 90% of the value of the total assets of the Investment Option is represented by any four investments. The Code provides that for purposes of determining whether or not the diversification standards imposed on the underlying assets of variable contracts by Section 817(h) of the Code have been met, "each United States government agency or instrumentality shall be treated as a separate issuer." We intend that all Investment Options underlying the Contracts will be managed by the investment advisers in such a manner as to comply with these diversification requirements. OWNER CONTROL The Treasury Department has indicated that the diversification regulations do not provide guidance regarding the circumstances in which Owner control of the investments of the Separate Account will cause the Owner to be treated as the owner of the assets of the Separate Account, thereby resulting in the loss of favorable tax treatment for the Contract. In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity contracts have been considered for federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the assets of the separate account, supporting their contracts due to their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. When this is the case, the contract owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of our Contracts, such as the flexibility of an Owner to allocate Purchase Payments and transfer amounts among the investment divisions of the Separate Account, have not been explicitly addressed in published rulings. While we believe that the Contracts do not give Owners investment control over Separate Account assets, we reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to prevent an Owner from being treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets supporting the Contract. CONTRACTS OWNED BY NON-INDIVIDUALS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 Under Section 72(u) of the Code, the investment earnings on Purchase Payments for the Contracts will be taxed currently to the Owner if the Owner is a non-individual, for example, a corporation or certain other entities. Such Contracts generally will not be treated as annuities for federal income tax purposes. However, this treatment is not applied to Contracts held by a trust or other entity as an agent for an individual or to Contracts held by qualified retirement plans. Purchasers should consult a tax adviser before purchasing a Contract to be owned by a non-individual. INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING All distributions or the portion thereof which is included in the gross income of the Owner are subject to federal income tax withholding. Generally, amounts are withheld from periodic payments at the same rate as wages and at the rate of 10% from non-periodic payments. However, the Owner, in most cases, may elect not to have taxes withheld or to have withholding done at a different rate. Certain distributions from retirement plans qualified under Section 401 of the Code, which are not directly rolled over to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account or Individual Retirement Annuity, are subject to a mandatory 20% withholding for federal income tax. The 20% withholding requirement generally does not apply to: o a series of substantially equal payments made at least annually for the life or life expectancy of the participant or joint and last survivor expectancy of the participant and a designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; or o distributions which are required minimum distributions; or o the portion of the distributions not included in gross income (for example, returns of after-tax contributions); or o hardship withdrawals. Participants should consult a tax adviser regarding withholding requirements. REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, Section 72(s) of the Code requires any non-qualified contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the contract will be distributed in the event of the death of an owner. Specifically, with regard to this Contract, Section 72(s) requires that: o if any Owner dies on or after the Income Date, but before the time the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of such Owner's death; and o if any Owner dies before the Income Date, the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within five years after the date of such Owner's death. These requirements will be considered satisfied as to any portion of an Owner's interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a designated Beneficiary and which is distributed over the life of such designated Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that Beneficiary, provided that such distributions begin within one year of the Owner's death. The designated Beneficiary refers to an individual designated by the Owner as a Beneficiary and to whom ownership of the Contract passes by reason of death. However, if the designated Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner, the Contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Owner. If the Owner is a non-individual, then the death or change of an Annuitant is treated as the death of the Owner. Non-Qualified Contracts contain provisions that are intended to comply with these Code requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. We intend to review such provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply with the applicable requirements when such requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise. Other rules may apply to Qualified Contracts. QUALIFIED CONTRACTS The Contract is designed to be suitable for use under various types of qualified plans. Because of the minimum Purchase Payment requirements, these Contracts may not be appropriate for some periodic payment retirement plans. Taxation of participants in each Qualified Contract varies with the type of plan and terms and conditions of each specific plan. Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a Qualified Contract may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued pursuant to the plan. Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into our administrative procedures. We are not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms conflict with the terms of a Contract, unless we specifically consent to be bound. Owners, participants and Beneficiaries are responsible for -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contracts comply with applicable law. General descriptions of the types of qualified plans with which the Contracts may be used can be found in the prospectus. Such descriptions are not exhaustive and are for general informational purposes only. The tax rules regarding qualified plans are very complex and will have differing applications, depending on individual facts and circumstances. Each purchaser should obtain competent tax advice before purchasing a Contract issued under a qualified plan. On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court decided in ARIZONA GOVERNING COMMITTEE V. NORRIS that optional annuity benefits provided under an employer's deferred compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, vary between men and women. The Contracts sold by us in connection with qualified plans may utilize annuity tables that do not differentiate on the basis of sex. These annuity tables will also be available for use in connection with certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Qualified plans include special provisions restricting Contract provisions that may otherwise be available and described in this SAI. Generally, Contracts issued pursuant to qualified plans are not transferable except upon withdrawal or annuitization. Various penalty and excise taxes may apply to contributions or distributions made in violation of applicable limitations. Furthermore, certain withdrawal penalties and restrictions may apply to withdrawals from Qualified Contracts. Many withdrawals from Qualified Contracts can be rolled over to an IRA or another qualified retirement plan. If you receive a withdrawal from a Qualified Contract that could be rolled over and you do not elect to make a direct rollover of that amount to an IRA or qualified plan, by law 20% of the taxable amount must be withheld by us for taxes. In situations where this mandatory tax withholding does not apply, other tax amounts may be withheld unless you elect out of the withholding. You may request more detailed information about income tax withholding at the time of a withdrawal. For more information see prospectus section 8, Taxes - Distributions - Qualified Contracts. PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS. Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code permit employers, including self-employed individuals, to establish various types of retirement plans for employees. These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the Contracts to provide benefits under the plan. Contributions to the plan for the benefit of employees will not be included in the gross income of the employee until distributed from the plan. The tax consequences to participants may vary, depending upon the particular plan design. However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on all plans, including on such items as: amount of allowable contributions; form, manner and timing of distributions; transferability of benefits; vesting and nonforfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of distributions and withdrawals. Participant loans are not allowed under the Contracts purchased in connection with these plans. For more information see prospectus section 8, Taxes - Qualified Contracts. Purchasers of Contracts for use with pension or profit-sharing plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment. We may choose not to allow pension or profit-sharing plans to purchase this Contract. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 GUARANTEED ACCOUNT VALUE (GAV) TRANSFERS To make the GAV Benefit available we monitor your Contract Value daily and periodically transfer amounts between your selected Investment Options and the FPAs. We determine the amount and timing of GAV Transfers between the Investment Options and the FPAs according to a mathematical model. The mathematical model uses the following formula to compute D, the percentage of Contract Value to be allocated to the Investment Options: D = N{[ ln (C / G) + (R + S2 / 2) x T] / [S x T]} where: NOTATION DESCRIPTION ------------- ---------------------------------------------------- C Contract Value G Adjusted Guarantee R Credited Rate S Adjusted Volatility T Time Remaining D Percentage of Contract Value in Investment Options N Cumulative Standard Normal Distribution function ln Natural Logarithm function Following is a more detailed discussion of the values used in the formula. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CONTRACT VALUE includes Contract Value both in the Investment Options and in the FPAs. The ADJUSTED GUARANTEE for a given GAV is the dollar value of the GAV adjusted upward to reflect the current anticipated price of the guarantee. This adjustment takes into account the following factors: the time (in years) until the guarantee (the GAV) becomes available; the rate currently credited to the FPAs; and the current Contract Value as compared to the GAV. In mathematical terms, the adjusted guarantee (G) equals G multiplied by W, where G represents the dollar value of the GAV, and W is a factor that we use to incorporate the current anticipated price of the guarantee into the GAV Benefit. o W is based upon a guarantee ratio, M, that we use to measure how "low" a Contract Value is relative to the GAV. o M is the ratio of (a) the difference of the GAV minus the Contract Value, and (b) the difference of the GAV minus the present value of the GAV, discounted for the time (in years) until the GAV becomes available, at the interest rate credited to the FPAs. In mathematical terms, M = (G - C) / [G - (G / (1 + R)T)]. The value of W and the corresponding guarantee ratio, M, are presented in Table 1 which appears later in this section. The values for W set forth in Table 1 are established on the Issue Date and are not changed for the life of the Contract. The values for W may change, however, for new Contracts issued in the future. The CREDITED RATE is the interest rate credited to the currently available FPA. The interest rate will never be less than the guaranteed rate stated in your Contract. The ADJUSTED VOLATILITY represents the volatility of the returns of Contract Value for all in force Contracts-that is, all Separate Account assets plus all general account assets that are allocated to the FPAs. This number is fixed at Contract issue and will not change for the duration of the Contract. However we may change the number for new Contracts issued in the future. You may contact our Service Center to find out the Adjusted Volatility number that applies to your Contract. The TIME REMAINING for a given GAV is the number of years (including any fraction) which remain until that GAV is applied and any True Up based on that GAV is made. The PERCENTAGE OF CONTRACT VALUE to be allocated to the Investment Options is computed for each future GAV. Ultimately the allocation for a Contract takes into account each future GAV, the limit on allocations to the FPAs during the first two Contract Years, and whether the allocation materially differs from previously computed allocations. The CUMULATIVE STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION function assumes that random events are distributed according to the classic bell curve. For a given value it computes the percentage of such events which can be expected to be less than that value. The NATURAL LOGARITHM function for a given value, computes the power to which E must be raised, in order to result in that value. Here, E is the base of the natural logarithms, or approximately 2.718282. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 The mathematical model uses D as follows. If you have not reset the GAV, then during the first Contract Year there is one GAV available on the fifth Contract Anniversary, during the second Contract Year there is a second GAV available on sixth Contract Anniversary, and so on. Beginning with the fifth Contract Year there are five future GAVs, each available on a different Contract Anniversary. We compute D for each future GAV (which can be as many as five). We take the smallest of these Ds and execute a GAV Transfer based on the following. o Whether the allocation differs sufficiently from the allocation we previously computed according to a specified margin that is set on the issue date and cannot be changed for the life of the Contract. (You may contact our Service Center to find out the margin that applies to your Contract.) o Whether a GAV Transfer would exceed the limit of 50% of Purchase Payments that exists in the first two Contract Years. o The number of transfers which have already occurred. If you have not reset the GAV, then: o At issue we compute D and use it as a baseline for comparison with allocations we compute on subsequent Business Days. o After issue, and before the first GAV Transfer to the FPAs, on each Business Day we compute D and execute a GAV Transfer to the FPAs if D is lower than the baseline by more than the specified margin. o After issue, and after the first GAV Transfer to the FPAs has already occurred, on each Business Day we compute D and will execute a GAV Transfer to the FPAs if D is lower than or higher than the baseline by the specified margin. If D is sufficiently below the baseline, the GAV Transfer will be to the FPAs. If D is sufficiently above the baseline, the GAV Transfer will be to the Investment Options. If you have reset the GAV, then: o On the reset date, we compute D and use it as a baseline for comparison with allocations we compute on subsequent Business Days. o After the reset date, and before the first GAV Transfer to the FPAs that occurs after the reset date, on each Business Day we compute D and execute a GAV Transfer to the FPAs if D is lower than the baseline by more than the specified margin. o After the reset date, and after the first GAV Transfer to the FPAs that occurs after the reset date, on each Business Day we compute D and execute a GAV Transfer to the FPAs if D is lower than or higher than the baseline by the specified margin. If D is sufficiently below the baseline, the GAV Transfer will be to the FPAs. If D is sufficiently above the baseline, the GAV Transfer will be to the Investment Options. EXAMPLE 1: At issue, establish the baseline. You purchase a February 2007 Contract with a single Purchase Payment of $100,000. The GAV is $100,000, which will become available on the fifth anniversary. Assume the following additional values. o The interest rate credited to the ten-year FPA is 3%. o The adjusted volatility of the Investment Options you selected is 16%. o The specified margin is 5%. For this example we have: VARIABLE VALUE DESCRIPTION ---------------- ---------- ------------------------- C $100,000 Contract Value g $100,000 The dollar value of the GAV r 0.03 Credited Rate s 0.16 Adjusted Volatility t 5 Time Remaining -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 First, we compute M and W and G as follows. m = (g - C) / [g - (g / (1 + r)t)] = ($100,000 - $100,000) / [$100,000 - ($100,000 / (1 + 0.03)(5))] = 0 / [$100,000 - ($100,000 / 1.159274)] = 0 / [$100,000 - $86,260.88] = 0 / $13,739.12 = 0 We use the value of m (which is zero) to look up this value of w in Table 1 (which appears later in this section) and find that w is 1.08. The Adjusted Guarantee g is w x g; or 1.08 x $100,000 = $108,000. Now, we compute d as follows. d = N{[ln (C / G) + (r + s2 / 2) x t] / [s x t]} = N{[ln ($100,000 / $108,000) + (0.03 + 0.162 / 2) x 5] / [0.16 x 5]} = N{[ln (0.925926) + 0.0428 x 5] / [0.16 x 2.236068]} = N{[-0.076961 + 0.214] / [0.357771]} = N{0.383036} = 0.649153 (approximately 65%). Thus, at issue, the mathematical model has established a baseline allocation to the Investment Options of about 65% of Contract Value. Starting at issue we compute D daily and compare it to the baseline allocation. Before the first GAV Transfer, the mathematical model will call for no allocation to the FPAs until D on a given day falls below the baseline by more than the specified margin of 5%. EXAMPLE 2: The first GAV Transfer to the FPAs. Continuing Example 1, assume that 6 months after issue there have been no GAV Transfers and that the Contract Value has fallen to $96,990. Since there have been no GAV Transfers, the baseline remains 0.649153 (approximately 65%), as computed in Example 1. For this example we have: VARIABLE VALUE DESCRIPTION --------------- ---------- -------------------------- C $96,990 Contract Value g $100,000 The dollar value of the GAV r 0.03 Credited Rate s 0.16 Adjusted Volatility t 4.5 Time Remaining First, we compute M and W and G as follows. m = (g - C) / [g - (g / (1 + r)t)] = ($100,000 - $96,990) / [$100,000 - ($100,000 / (1 + 0.03)(4.5))] = $3,010 / [$100,000 - ($100,000 / 1.142267)] = $3,010 / [$100,000 - $87,543.23] = $3,010 / $12,454.77 = 0.241674 We use the value of M (which is 0.241674) to look up this value of W in Table 1 and find that W is 1.08. The Adjusted Guarantee G is W x G; OR 1.08 x $100,000 = $108,000. Now we compute D as follows. d = N{[ln (C / G) + (r + s2 / 2) x t] / [s x t]} = N{[ln ($96,990 / $108,000) + (0.03 + 0.162 / 2) x 4.5] / [0.16 x 4.5]} = N{[ln (0.898056) + 0.0428 x 4.5] / [0.16 x 2.121320]} = N{[ -0.107523 + 0.1926] / [0.339411]} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 = N{0.250659} = 0.598961 (approximately 60%). As computed, d is less than the baseline by 0.598961 - 0.649153 = -0.050192, or approximately -5.02%. Since there have been no previous GAV Transfers, and since D is lower than the baseline by more than the specified margin of 5%, the mathematical model calls for an first GAV Transfer to the FPAs. The amount of the transfer will be such that, after the transfer, the percentage Contract Value in the variable Investment Options is d, approximately 60%. The mathematical model calls for 0.598961 x $96,990 = $58,093.26 to be allocated to the Investment Options and the remaining Contract Value ($96,990 - $58,093.26 = $38,896.74) to be allocated to the FPAs. The GAV Transfer to the FPAs in the amount of $38,896.74 represents approximately 40.10% (I.E., $38,896.74 / $96,990) of Contract Value. We establish a new baseline allocation for this Contract equal to d, or 0.598961. EXAMPLE 3: An additional GAV Transfer to the Investment Options. Continuing Examples 1 and 2, assume that 10 months after issue the Contract has experienced only the single GAV Transfer of Example 2 (no additional GAV Transfers have occurred) and that the Contract Value has risen to $102,470. Because there have been no GAV Transfers since that of Example 2, the baseline remains at 0.598961. In this example we have: VARIABLE VALUE DESCRIPTION ------------- ---------- ---------------------------- C $102,470 Contract Value g $100,000 The dollar value of the GAV r 0.03 Credited Rate s 0.16 Adjusted Volatility t 4.166667 Time Remaining First, we compute M and W and G as follows. M = (g - C) / [g - (g / (1 + r)t)] = ($100,000 - $102,470) / [$100,000 - ($100,000 / (1 + 0.03)(4.166667))] = -$2,470 / [$100,000 - ($100,000 / 1.131067 )] = -$2,470 / [$100,000 - $88,412.07] = -$2,470 / $11,587.93 = -0.213153 We use the value of m (which is -0.213153) to look up this value of W in Table 1 and find that W is 1.08. The Adjusted Guarantee G is w x g; or 1.08 x $100,000 = $108,000. d = N{[ln (C / G) + (R + S2 / 2) x T] / [ S x T]} = N{[ln ($102,470 / $108,000) + ( 0.03 + 0.162 / 2) x 4.166667] / [ 0.16 x 4.166667]} = N{[ln (0.948796) + 0.0428 x 4.166667] / [0.16 x 2.041241]} = N{[-0.052561 + 0.178333] / [0.326599]} = N{0.385097} = 0.649917 (approximately 65%). As computed, d differs from the baseline by 0.649917 - 0.598961 = 0.050956 or approximately 5.10%. Because D differs from the baseline by more than the specified margin of 5%, the mathematical model calls for a GAV Transfer. Because D is higher than the baseline, the GAV Transfer will be to the Investment Options. The amount of the transfer will be such that after the transfer the percentage of Contract Value in the variable Investment Options is d, namely 64.99%. The mathematical model calls for 0.649917 x $102,470 = $66,597.02 to be allocated to the Investment Options and the remaining $102,470 - $66,597.02 = $35,872.98 to be allocated to the FPAs. As four months have passed since the first GAV Transfer into the FPAs, the amount of Contract Value in the FPAs is $38,896.74 x 1.034/12 = $39,281.88. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 The GAV Transfer to the Investment Options in the amount of $39,281.88 - $35,872.98 = $3,408.90 represents approximately 3.33% (I.E., $3,408.90 / $102,470) of Contract Value. We establish a new baseline allocation for this Contract equal to d, or 0.649917. EXAMPLE 4: Expanding on the computation of W. In the first three examples W has always been 1.08. This example shows how W may differ from 1.08. Assume the following: VARIABLE VALUE DESCRIPTION ------------- ---------- ----------------------------- C $85,111 Contract Value g $100,000 The dollar value of the GAV r 0.03 Credited Rate t 2 Time Remaining In this example we compute m and w and G as follows. m = (g - C) / [g - (g / (1 + r) t )] = ($100,000 - $85,111) / [$100,000 - ($100,000 / (1 + 0.03) (2) )] = $14,889 / [$100,000 - ($100,000 / 1.060900)] = $14,889 / [$100,000 - $94,259.59] = $14,889 / $5,740.41 = 2.593718 This value of m falls between 2.55 and 2.60 in Table 1. Therefore w will fall between the two corresponding values of w, namely 2.0958 and 2.1558. Linear interpolation reveals w to be approximately 2.148261. The Adjusted Guarantee G is w x g; or 2.148261 x $100,000 = $214,826.10. d = N{[ln (C / G) + (r + s2 / 2) x t] / [s x t]} = N{[ln ($85,111 / $214,826.10) + (0.03 + 0.162 / 2) x 2] / [0.16 x 2]} = N{[ln (0.396186) + 0.0428 x 2] / [0.16 x 1.414214]} = N{[ -0.925873 + 0.085600] / [0.226274]} = N{-3.713515} = 0.000102 (approximately 0%). This low value of d results both because the Contract Value of $84,111 is substantially lower than the initial GAV of $100,000, and only two years remain before this GAV becomes available. Therefore the mathematical model calls for an allocation of 0.01% of Contract Value to the Investment Options, and an allocation of 99.99% of Contract Value to the FPAs. Note that the model will not call for a GAV Transfer unless D differs from the previously established baseline by more than the specified margin (in these examples, 5%). Note also that GAV Transfers to the FPAs will happen more often and there may be more Contract Value allocated to the FPAs, than if we had not applied the adjustment. In practice it is unlikely that the Contract Value would fall so far below the GAV, because as a Contract Value falls toward and below the GAV, the mathematical model calls for increasing allocations to the FPAs. Such allocations mitigate the decline in the Contract Value relative to the decline in the values of the Investment Options. However, in the event of a one-day market crash, a Contract Value may fall precipitously relative to the guarantee and such a low D could result. Additionally, when there is very little time remaining until the GAV becomes available, such a low D may result even if the Contract Value is not much lower than the guarantee. TABLE 1 We compute the Adjusted Guarantee to be the product of the guarantee times W: G = g x w where W is derived from the following table based on M. In turn M is given by: m = (g - C) / [g - (g / (1 + r)t)] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 where: NOTATION DESCRIPTION ------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ w Worth Adjustment Applied to the Guarantee m Guarantee Ratio G Adjusted Guarantee C Contract Value g The dollar value of the GAV r Credited Rate t Time Remaining For any m less than 0.725, use w = 1.08.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 ANNUITY PROVISIONS We base Traditional Annuity Payments upon the following. o Whether you request fixed payments, variable payments, or a combination of both fixed and variable Traditional Annuity Payments. o The adjusted Contract Value (Contract Value adjusted for any MVA, less any deduction we make to reimburse ourselves for premium tax that we pay) on the Income Date. o The Annuity Option you select. o The age of the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant. o The sex of the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant where allowed. We guarantee fixed Traditional Annuity Payments as to dollar amount and the amount does not vary with the investment experience of an Investment Option. If you request fixed Traditional Annuity Payments, the amount of adjusted Contract Value that you apply to fixed Traditional Annuity Payments will be placed in our general account and it will not participate in the investment experience of the Investment Options. Variable payments are not predetermined as to dollar amount and will vary in amount with the investment experience of the Investment Option(s) you select. We use Annuity Units to determine the amount of any variable Traditional Annuity Payments you elect to receive. ANNUITY UNITS/CALCULATING VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS The first Traditional Annuity Payment is equal to the amount of adjusted Contract Value you are applying to variable Traditional Annuity Payments on the Income Date, divided first by $1,000 and then multiplied by the appropriate variable annuity payout factor for each $1,000 of value for the Annuity Option you selected. We will then purchase a fixed number of Annuity Units on the Income Date for each subaccount of the Investment Options you select. We do this by dividing the amount of the first Traditional Annuity Payment among the subaccounts for your selected Investment Options according to your most recent allocation instructions. We then divide the amount in each subaccount by the Annuity Unit value for each subaccount on the Income Date. We determine the Annuity Unit value on each Business Day as follows: o multiply the Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Business Day by the net investment factor for the current Business Day; and o divide by the assumed net investment factor for the current Business Day. The assumed net investment factor for the current Business Day is one plus the annual AIR adjusted to reflect the number of calendar days that have elapsed since the immediately preceding Business Day. We will allow an AIR of 3%, 5% or 7% based on your selection and applicable law. Thereafter, the number of Annuity Units in each subaccount generally remains unchanged unless you make a transfer. However, the number of Annuity Units will change if Annuity Option 3 is in effect, one Annuitant dies, and the Owner requests Traditional Annuity Payments at 75% or 50% of the previous payment amount. All calculations will appropriately reflect the payment frequency you selected. The Traditional Annuity Payment on each subsequent payment date is equal to the sum of the Traditional Annuity Payments for each subaccount. We determine the Traditional Annuity Payment for each subaccount by multiplying the number of Annuity Units allocated to the subaccount by the Annuity Unit value for that subaccount on the payment date. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK GUARANTEE Allianz Life guarantees that the dollar amount of each Variable Annuity Payment after the first Annuity Payment will not be affected by variations in mortality and expense experience. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allianz High Five(TM) Variable Annuity Contract*SAI*May 1, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14 INFORMATION ON THE MAY 2005 CONTRACT The May 2005 Contract was replaced by the currently offered Contract, beginning in February 2007. The May 2005 Contract is no longer offered for sale, but Owners of this Contract can still make additional Purchase Payments. Therefore, we are including information on the Contract in this SAI. The primary difference between the February 2007 and May 2005 Contracts is the mortality and expense risk (M&E) charge. SEPARATE ACCOUNT ANNUAL EXPENSES (Includes the mortality and expense risk (M&E) charges.) (as a percentage of average daily assets invested in a subaccount on an annual basis) M&E CHARGES MAY 2005 CONTRACT Traditional GMDB 1.40% Enhanced GMDB 1.60% During the Annuity Phase, if you request variable Traditional Annuity Payments, the M&E charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.40% for the May 2005 Contract. This expense is equal to the lowest charge because we do not pay a death benefit separate from the benefits provided by the Annuity Option if the Annuitant dies during the Annuity Phase. Because the Contract allows Partial Annuitization, it is possible for different portions of the Contract to be in both the Accumulation and Annuity Phases at the same time. It is also possible to have different M&E charges on different portions of the Contract at the same time if you request a variable traditional Partial Annuitization.

2007 (WITH REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM THEREON) Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Directors of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and Contract Owners of Allianz Life Variable Account B: We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the sub-accounts of Allianz Life Variable Account B (the Variable Account) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations for the year or period in the period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Variable Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Investment securities held in custody for the benefit of the Variable Account were confirmed to us by the transfer agents of the underlying mutual funds. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets and liabilities of the sub-accounts of Allianz Life Variable Account B as of December 31, 2007, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods stated above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

72 ALLIANZ LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT B OF ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) December 31, 2007 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. INVESTMENTS Investments of the Variable Account are valued each day the markets are open at fair value using net asset values provided by the investment advisers of the portfolios after the 4 PM Eastern market close. Realized investment gains include realized gain distributions received from the respective portfolios and gains on the sale of portfolio shares as determined by the average cost method. Realized gain distributions are reinvested in the respective portfolios. Dividend distributions received from the portfolios are reinvested in additional shares of the portfolios and are recorded as income to the Variable Account on the ex-dividend date. Three Fixed Account investment options are available to deferred annuity contract owners. A Flexible Fixed Option is available to Valuemark II, Valuemark III, Allianz Valuemark IV, Allianz Rewards, and Allianz Alterity deferred annuity contract owners. Fixed Period Accounts are available to Allianz High Five and Allianz High Five Bonus contract owners. A Dollar Cost Averaging Option is available to Valuemark II, Valuemark III, Allianz Valuemark IV, Allianz Rewards, Allianz Alterity, Allianz High Five, Allianz High Five Bonus, and Allianz Vision deferred annuity contract owners. These accounts are comprised of equity and fixed income investments which are part of the general assets of Allianz Life. The liabilities of the Fixed Accounts, including the guaranteed minimum rate of return on the Fixed Account of 3%, are part of the general obligations of Allianz Life and are not included in the Variable Account. Certain of the sub-accounts invest in Investment Options that invest in various forms of fixed income securities, including mortgage backed securities. These types of securities may present a variety of potential risks, including credit risk, extension and prepayment risk, and interest rate risk. Recently, certain types of mortgage backed securities, such as structured investment vehicles (SIVs), subprime mortgage backed bonds, and commercial paper backed by mortgage backed securities have experienced losses as a result of defaults on underlying mortgages and a lack of liquidity. These securities have also been subject to price declines resulting from lack of a trading market for the securities. As a result of the lack of liquidity, it is possible that certain securities may become more difficult to value.

The Living Guarantees include the Guaranteed Account Value Benefit (GAV Benefit), the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) and the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (GWB). There are no additional fees or charges associated with the Living Guarantees. However, we monitor the Contract Value daily and systematically transfer amounts between the selected Investment Options and the Fixed Period Accounts (FPAs) to support the Living Guarantees. Owners that transfer or withdraw Contract Value from a FPA may have the value of the withdrawal or transfer adjusted based on a formula called a Market Value Adjustment (MVA). The MVA formula compares the interest rates credited at the time of investment, to interest rates being credited when the withdrawal or transfer is made. The amount of any MVA can be either positive or negative, depending on the rates that are currently being credited on the FPAs. The GAV Benefit guarantees that beginning on your fifth Contract Anniversary, and on each subsequent Contract Anniversary until the Contract terminates or you begin receiving Annuity Payments, your Contract Value will be at least equal to an amount we call the Guaranteed Account Value (GAV) from five years ago, reduced by subsequent withdrawals. The GAV is initially equal to the Purchase Payments received within 90 days of Contract issue. The GAV is recalculated on each Contract Anniversary to equal the greater of: a) the previous GAV adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and partial withdrawals, or b) the current Contract Value. The GAV Benefit does not provide any protection until the fifth and subsequent Contract Anniversaries, and does not lock in any investment gains until at least five years after they occur. The GMIB guarantees a minimum level of income through annuity payments after the fifth contract year. The GWB guarantees a minimum level of income through partial withdrawals.

The Living Guarantees include the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (GWB) and either the Guaranteed Principal Value Benefit (GPV Benefit) or the Guaranteed Account Value Benefit (GAV Benefit). There are no additional fees or charges if you select the Living Guarantees with the GPV Benefit, however, there is an additional charge for selecting the GAV Benefit. In addition, we monitor the Contract Value daily and systematically transfer amounts between your selected Investment Options and the Fixed Period Accounts (FPAs) to support the Living Guarantees. Owners that transfer or withdraw Contract Value from a FPA may have the value of the withdrawal or transfer adjusted based on a formula called a Market Value Adjustment (MVA). The MVA formula compares the interest rates credited at the time of investment, to interest rates being credited when the withdrawal or transfer is made. The amount of any MVA can be either positive or negative, depending on the rates that are currently being credited on the FPAs. The GPV and GAV Benefits guarantee that beginning on your fifth Contract Anniversary, and on each subsequent Contract Anniversary until the Contract terminates or you begin receiving Annuity Payments, your Contract Value will be at least equal to an amount we call the Guaranteed Principal Value (GPV) or Guaranteed Account Value (GAV) from five years ago, reduced by subsequent withdrawals. The GPV and GAV are initially equal to the Purchase Payments received within 90 days of Contract issue. The GPV is recalculated on each Contract Anniversary to equal the previous GPV adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and partial withdrawals. The GAV is recalculated on each Contract Anniversary to equal the greater of: a) the previous GAV adjusted for subsequent Purchase Payments and partial withdrawals, or b) the current Contract Value. The GPV and GAV Benefits do not provide any protection until the fifth and subsequent Contract Anniversaries, and the GAV does not lock in any investment gains until at least five years after they occur. The GWB guarantees a minimum level of income through partial withdrawals. There is also an older version of the Allianz High 5 L Contract that is still available in some states. The Original Contract first became available on April 29, 2005. The primary difference between the May 2007 Contract and the Original Contract is the length of the withdrawal charge period. The Original Contract had a three-year withdrawal charge period and the May 2007 Contract has a four-year withdrawal charge period.

The Valuemark II and Valuemark III Contracts automatically provided a death benefit of the contract value less any withdrawal charge, or the greater of: a) total purchase payments less partial withdrawals increased by 5% each year, or b) the highest Contract Value from any sixth Contract Anniversary. Charges (INCLUDES A 0.15% ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE) ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Valuemark II 1.40% Valuemark III 1.40% The M&E charge and administrative charge for Allianz Valuemark IV can be summarized as follows: The Valuemark IV contract was launched in February of 1997 (Original Contract). For Original Contracts that did not have an Enhanced Death Benefit Endorsement (EDB Endorsement) the death benefit was the Contract Value. Before July 1999 Original Contracts with an EDB Endorsement included Death Benefit Option 1(DB Option 1) where the death benefit is based on the contract value or the greater of: a) total purchase payments less partial withdrawals increased annually by 5%, or b) the highest Contract Value from any sixth Contract Anniversary. Beginning in July 1999 the owner could instead select Death Benefit Option 2 (DB Option 2) where the death benefit is based on the contract value or the greater of: a) total purchase payments less partial withdrawals, or b) the highest contract anniversary value. Beginning in November 2001 the owner could select for an additional charge Death Benefit Option 3 (DB Option 3) where the death benefit is the greater of: a) current contract value, b) total purchase payments adjusted for partial withdrawals, or c) contract value plus an additional amount based on the owner's age and the lesser of total purchase payments or contract value. The Original Contract also offered a choice of optional Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefits (GMIBs) for an additional charge. The GMIBs provide guaranteed minimum annuity payments during the annuity phase. GMIB Option 1 provided a GMIB value of the greater of a) total purchase payments adjusted for partial withdrawals increased annually by 5%, or b) the highest Contract Value from any sixth Contract Anniversary. GMIB Option 1 provided a GMIB value of the greater of a) total purchase payments adjusted for partial withdrawals, or b) the highest contract anniversary value. The May 2003 Contract was launched in May 2003 and sales will be discontinued in May 2007. The May 2003 Contract replaced the Original Contract. The May 2003 Contract automatically provided a Traditional Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (Traditional GMDB) where the death benefit is based on the greater of contract value or total purchase payments adjusted for partial withdrawals. For an additional charge, the owner could instead elect either the optional Enhanced Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (Enhanced GMDB), or the Earnings Protections Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (Earnings Protection GMDB). Under the Enhanced GMDB the death benefit is the current contract value or the greater of: a) the highest contract anniversary value, or b) total purchase payments adjusted for partial withdrawals increased annually by 3%. Under the Earnings Protection GMDB the death benefit is the current contract value or the greater of: a) total purchase payments adjusted for partial withdrawals, or b) contract value plus an additional amount based on the owner's age and the lesser of total purchase payments or contract value. The May 2003 Contract also offered an optional Traditional GMIB for an additional charge where the GMIB value is total purchase payments adjusted for partial withdrawals. 88 ALLIANZ LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT B OF ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) December 31, 2007 2.

The Contract also allows the owner to select at issue either a Bonus Option (which provides a 6% bonus that is subject to a three year vesting schedule) or a Short Withdrawal Charge Option (which shortens the withdrawal charge period from seven years to four years). The Contract also offers selection of either the Lifetime Plus Benefit or Lifetime Plus II Benefit. These benefits are designed for those who want lifetime income and continued access to Contract Value. The primary difference between these benefits is the mortality and expense risk (M&E) charge for the benefit and the reset feature. The Lifetime Plus Benefit allows owners to reset the guaranteed value to equal the Contract Value if that would provide a greater guarantee. Under the Lifetime Plus II Benefit these resets are automatic.

Total contingent deferred sales charges paid by the contract owners during the the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $34,201,903 and $23,383,698, respectively. A systematic withdrawal plan is available to Valuemark II, Valuemark III, Allianz Valuemark IV, Allianz Alterity, Allianz Dimensions, Allianz High Five, Allianz Rewards, Allianz Charter II, Allianz High Five Bonus and Allianz High Five L deferred annuity contract owners which allows a portion of the contract value to be withdrawn without incurring a contingent deferred sales charge. The exercise of the systematic withdrawal plan in any contract year replaces the penalty free privilege for that year. Allianz Dimensions allows 10% of purchase payments to be withdrawn in contract years one to five and 20% of the purchase payments to be withdrawn after contract year five without penalty. Currently, twelve transfers are permitted each contract year. Thereafter, the fee is $25 per transfer for all products, or 2% of the amount transferred, if less, for Valuemark II, Valuemark III, and Allianz Valuemark IV. Currently, transfers associated with any dollar cost averaging program are not counted.

Net transfers to/from the Fixed Accounts during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $(1,282,366,000) and $(367,573,000), respectively. Premium taxes or other taxes payable to a state or other governmental entity will be charged against the contract values. Allianz Life may, in its sole discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the contract value at a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right Allianz Life may have to deduct such amounts at a later date. A rescission is defined as a contract that is returned to the Company by the contract owner and canceled within the free-look period, generally within 10 days. 92 ALLIANZ LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT B OF ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) December 31, 2007 2.

These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk and administrative 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. ** These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk and administrative 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 funds are excluded. *** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflect contract expenses of the separate account. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. 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. As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract returns are not within the ranges presented. 1.

121 ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplemental Schedules December 31, 2007 and 2006 (With Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Thereon) REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Board of Directors and Stockholder Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in Schedules I, III, and IV is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements.

(AZOA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz Societas Europaea (Allianz SE), a European company incorporated in Germany. The Company is a life insurance company licensed to sell annuity, group accident and health, and group and individual life policies in the United States, Canada, and several U.S. territories. Based on 2007 statutory net premium written, 97%, 2%, and 1% of the Company's business is annuity, life insurance, and accident and health, respectively. The annuity business is comprised of fixed-indexed, variable, one-year deferred, and five-year deferred annuities representing 61%, 37%, 1%, and 1% of 2007 statutory net premium written, respectively. As a result of the 2006 exiting of certain health business discussed in note 13, going forward accident and health business will be comprised primarily of long-term care. Life business is comprised of both traditional and group life. Life business includes products with guaranteed premiums and benefits and consists principally of whole life and term insurance policies, universal life policies, limited payment contracts, and certain annuity products with life contingencies. The Company's primary distribution channels are through independent agents, broker/dealers, and third-party marketing organizations. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which vary in certain respects from accounting practices prescribed or permitted by state insurance regulatory authorities. The accounts of the Company's primary subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York, and other less significant subsidiaries have been consolidated. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including reporting or disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the Balance Sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events, including changes in mortality, morbidity, interest rates, capital markets, and asset valuations could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used in the consolidated financial statements. Such changes in estimates are recorded in the period they are determined. INVESTMENT PRODUCTS AND UNIVERSAL LIFE BUSINESS Investment products consist primarily of fixed-indexed, variable, and deferred annuity products. Premium receipts are reported as deposits to the contractholders' accounts. Annuity considerations and policy fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations represent asset fees, cost of insurance charges, administrative fees, and surrender charges for investment products. Similar charges for universal life insurance are included in other life policy considerations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These fees have been earned and assessed against contractholders on a daily or monthly basis throughout the contract period and are recognized as revenue when assessed and earned. Amounts assessed that represent compensation to the insurance enterprise for services to be provided in future periods are not earned in the period assessed. Such amounts shall be reported as unearned premiums, which includes unearned revenue reserves (URR), and recognized in income over the period benefited using the same assumptions and factors used to amortize capitalized acquisition costs. Surrender charges are recognized upon surrender of a contract in accordance with contractual terms. The change in fair value of embedded derivatives in fixed-indexed and variable products is included in net investment 9 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) income. Benefits consist of interest credited to contractholders' accounts and claims incurred in excess of the contractholders' account balance and are included in net interest credited to policyholder account values and annuity benefits, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. LIFE AND ACCIDENT AND HEALTH INSURANCE Premiums on traditional life products are recognized as earned when due. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums so as to result in recognition of profits over the life of the contracts. This association is accomplished by establishing provisions for future policy benefits and deferring and amortizing related acquisition costs. Accident and health premiums are recognized as earned on a pro-rata basis over the risk coverage periods. Benefits and expenses are recognized as incurred. GOODWILL Goodwill is the excess of the amount paid to acquire a company over the fair value of its tangible net assets, value of business acquired (VOBA), other identifiable intangible assets, and valuation adjustments (such as impairments), if any. Goodwill is evaluated annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. Goodwill of a reporting unit is also tested for impairment on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change, which may indicate a reduction of the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment requires several judgments and assumptions to be made to determine the fair value of the reporting units, including the method used to determine fair value; discount rates; expected levels of cash flows; and revenues and earnings. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value will be reduced to its fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings. VALUE OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The value of insurance in-force purchased is recorded as the VOBA. The initial value was determined by an actuarial study using the present value of future profits in calculating the value of the insurance purchased. An accrual of interest is added to the unamortized balance using the rates credited to the policyholder accounts. The balance is amortized in relation to the present value of expected future gross profits in the same manner as deferred acquisition costs (DAC). The amortization period is expected to be approximately 20 years from the date the business was acquired; however, the Company continually monitors this assumption. If estimated gross profits differ from expectations, the amortization of VOBA is adjusted on a retrospective or prospective basis, as appropriate. Adjustments to VOBA are made to reflect the corresponding impact on the present value of expected future gross profits from unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments used to support policyholder liabilities (commonly known as shadow VOBA). These adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and are explained further in the investments section of this note. The recoverability of VOBA is evaluated annually, or earlier if factors warrant, based on estimates of future earnings related to the insurance in-force purchased. If the existing insurance liabilities, together with the present value of future net cash flows from the blocks of business acquired, are not sufficient to recover VOBA, the difference, if any, is charged to expense through accelerated VOBA amortization. Intangible assets are identified by the Company in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, which requires an intangible asset to be recognized apart from goodwill when it arises from contractual or legal rights or it is capable of being separated 10 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) and valued then sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged. The Company determines the useful life and amortization period for each intangible asset identified. An intangible asset with a determinable life is amortized over that period, while an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized. The Company's intangible assets include trademarks, agent lists, and non-compete agreements that were acquired as a result of the Company's ownership in field marketing organizations. These intangible assets were assigned values using the present value of projected future cash flows as a base and are generally amortized over five years using the straight-line method. Also included in the Company's intangible assets is the trade name and service mark of a broker-dealer acquired during 2005, and state insurance licenses acquired in 2007. The trade name, service mark, and state insurance licenses were valued using the present value of future cash flows and were determined to have an indefinite useful life. Recoverability of the value of the amortizing intangible assets is assessed under SFAS No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, which states that long-lived assets shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the value of the non-amortizing intangible assets is assessed under SFAS No. 142, which states that non-amortizing intangible assets shall be tested for recoverability annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS Acquisition costs, consisting of commissions and other costs that vary with and are primarily related to production of new business, are deferred to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues and gross profits. For interest-sensitive products and variable annuity contracts, acquisition costs are amortized in relation to the present value of expected future gross profits from investment margins and mortality, morbidity, and expense charges. Acquisition costs for accident and health insurance policies are deferred and amortized over the lives of the policies in the same manner as premiums are earned. For traditional life and group life products, such costs are amortized over the projected earnings pattern of the related policies using the same actuarial assumptions used in computing future policy benefit reserves. DAC is reviewed for recoverability, at least annually, and adjusted when necessary. Adjustments to DAC are made to reflect the corresponding impact on the present value of expected future gross profits from unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments used to support policyholder liabilities (commonly known as shadow DAC). These adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and are explained further in the investments section of this note. Changes in assumptions can have an impact on the amount of DAC reported for annuity and life insurance products and their related amortization patterns. In the event experience differs from assumptions or assumptions are revised, the Company is required to record an increase or decrease in DAC amortization expense (DAC unlocking). In general, increases in the estimated investment spreads and fees result in increased expected future profitability and may lower the rate of DAC amortization, while increases in lapse/surrender and mortality assumptions reduce the expected future profitability of the underlying business and may increase the rate of DAC amortization. The Company formally evaluates the appropriateness of the best-estimate assumptions on an annual basis. If the economic environment or policyholder behavior changes quickly and substantially, assumptions will be reviewed more frequently to affirm best estimates. Any resulting DAC unlocking is reflected prospectively in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 11 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) Adjustments may also be made to the estimated gross profits related to DAC that correspond with deferred annuities and universal life products for investment activity, such as bond defaults on fixed-maturity securities, write-downs on other-than-temporarily-impaired fixed-maturity securities, and trading gains and losses. Management action may include assumption changes in the DAC models, such as adjustments to expected future gross profits used, as well as policyholder changes, such as credited rate or cap changes. This approach applies to fixed-maturity securities purchased as investment grade only and not noninvestment grade items that were purchased with other yield considerations. See further discussion of the DAC unlocking in note 9. The Company assesses internal replacements on insurance contracts to determine whether such modifications significantly change the contract terms. An internal replacement represents a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs by the exchange of an insurance contract for a new insurance contract, or by amendment, endorsement or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. If the modification substantially changes the contract, the remaining DAC on the original contract are immediately expensed and any new DAC on the replacement contract are deferred. If the contract modification does not substantially change the contract, DAC amortization on the original contract continues and any new acquisition costs associated with the modification are immediately expensed. DEFERRED SALES INDUCEMENTS Sales inducements are product features that enhance the investment yield to the contractholder on the contract. The Company offers two types of sales inducements on certain universal life and annuity contracts. The first type, an immediate bonus, increases the account value at inception, and the second type, a persistency bonus, increases the account value at the end of a specified period. Annuity sales inducements are deferred as paid or credited to contractholders and life sales inducements are deferred and recognized as part of the liability for policy benefits. Deferred sales inducements (DSI) are amortized over the expected life of the contract in a manner similar to DAC and are reviewed annually for recoverability. Amortization is recorded in benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. DSI related to a persistency bonus are recorded in life insurance benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. DSI related to an immediate bonus are shown as a reduction of premium within annuity considerations and policy fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjustments to DSI are made to reflect the corresponding impact on the present value of expected future gross profits from unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments used to support policyholder liabilities (commonly known as shadow DSI). These adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and are explained further in the investments section of this note. Adjustments may also be made to DSI related to deferred annuities for investment activity, such as bond defaults on fixed-maturity securities, write-downs on other-than-temporarily-impaired fixed-maturity securities, and trading gains and losses. Management action may include assumption changes in the DSI models, such as adjustments to expected future gross profits used, as well as policyholder changes, such as credited rate changes. This approach applies to fixed-maturity securities purchased as investment grade only and not noninvestment grade items that were purchased with other yield considerations. FUTURE POLICY BENEFIT RESERVES Future policy benefit reserves on traditional life products are computed by the net level premium method based upon estimated future investment yield, mortality, and withdrawal assumptions, commensurate with the Company's experience, modified as necessary to reflect anticipated trends, including possible unfavorable deviations. Most life reserve interest assumptions range from 2.5% to 6.0%. 12 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) POLICY AND CONTRACT ACCOUNT BALANCES Policy and contract account balances for interest-sensitive products, which include universal life and fixed deferred annuities, are generally carried at accumulated contract values. For fixed-indexed annuity products, the policyholder obligation is divided into two parts - one part representing the value of the underlying base contract (host contract) and the second part representing the fair value of the expected index benefit over the life of the contract. The host contract is valued using principles consistent with similar deferred annuity contracts without an index benefit. The index benefit is valued at fair value using current capital market assumptions, along with estimates of future policyholder behavior. The fair value determination of the index benefit is sensitive to the economic market and interest rate environment, as it is discounted at current market interest rates. There is volatility in this liability due to these external market sensitivities. Certain two-tier fixed annuity products provide for benefits payable upon annuitization such as period-certain and life-contingent payout options. An additional annuitization reserve is established using assumptions consistent with those used in estimating gross profits for purposes of amortizing DAC. Policy and contract account balances for variable annuity products are carried at accumulated contract values. Any additional reserves for any death and income benefits that may exceed the accumulated contract values are established using a range of economic scenarios and are accrued for using assumptions consistent with those used in estimating gross profits for purposes of amortizing DAC. Additional reserves for accumulation benefits that may exceed account values are established using capital market assumptions along with estimates of future policyholder behavior. POLICY AND CONTRACT CLAIMS Policy and contract claims include the liability for claims reported but not yet paid, claims incurred but not yet reported (IBNR), and claim settlement expenses as of December 31 on the Company's accident and health business. Development methods are generally used in the determination of IBNR. In cases of limited experience or lack of credible claims data, loss ratios are used to determine an appropriate IBNR. Claim and IBNR liabilities of a short-term nature are not discounted, but those claim liabilities resulting from disability income or long-term care benefits include interest and mortality discounting. REINSURANCE The Company assumes and cedes business with other insurers. Reinsurance premium and benefits paid or provided are accounted for in a manner consistent with the basis used in accounting for original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Insurance liabilities are reported before the effects of reinsurance. Future policy benefit reserves, policy and contract account balances, and unpaid claims covered under reinsurance contracts are recorded as a reinsurance recoverable. Amounts paid or deemed to have been paid for claims covered by reinsurance contracts are recorded as a reinsurance receivable. Reinsurance recoverables are recognized in a manner consistent with the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Amounts due to other insurers on assumed business are recorded as a reinsurance payable. The gain recognized when the Company enters into a coinsurance agreement with a third-party reinsurer is deferred and recorded in deferred gain on reinsurance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gains are amortized into operations over either the revenue-producing period or the claims run-off period, as appropriate, of the related reinsured policies. 13 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) INVESTMENTS The Company classifies certain fixed-maturity and equity securities as "available-for-sale," and accordingly, the securities are carried at fair value, and related net unrealized gains and losses are credited or charged directly to accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholder's equity, net of tax and related adjustments to DAC, DSI, VOBA, and reserves (commonly referred to as shadow adjustments). The adjustments to DAC, DSI, and VOBA represent the change in amortization that would have been required as a charge or credit to operations had such unrealized amounts been realized. The adjustment to reserves represents the increase or decrease in the reserve balance that would have been required as a charge or credit to operations had such unrealized amounts been realized. During 2005, the Company created a new portfolio of certain fixed-maturity and equity securities classified as "trading," and accordingly, the securities are carried at fair value, and related unrealized gains and losses are reflected as realized investment gains and losses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The trading portfolio was established to attempt to economically hedge risk associated with liabilities related to fixed-indexed annuities. By policy, the Company invests primarily in high-grade marketable securities. Dividends are accrued on the date they are declared. Interest is accrued as earned. Securities held under repurchase agreements and forward commitments are also carried at fair value. Mortgage-backed securities and structured securities are amortized using anticipated prepayments and are accounted for using the retrospective method. Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed securities are obtained from various external sources or internal estimates. Premiums or discounts on fixed-maturity securities are amortized using the constant yield method. Short-term securities, which include certificates of deposit, are carried at amortized cost. Policy loans are reflected at unpaid principal balances. For mortgage-backed securities and structured securities, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield method based on prepayment assumptions and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimated prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. Any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Mortgage loans on real estate are reflected at unpaid principal balances adjusted for an allowance for uncollectible balances. Interest on mortgage loans is accrued on a monthly basis and recorded in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company analyzes loan impairment at least once a year when assessing the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible balances. The Company evaluates the mortgage loan reserve to ensure that the estimate is based on the industry default and loss studies and historical default rates for the Company as compared with default rates for the industry group data obtained from the American Council of Life Insurers. The Company does not accrue interest on impaired loans and accounts for interest income on such loans on a cash basis. The Company's intent is to hold mortgage loans until paid in full. The loans to affiliates are carried at cost. Interest on the loans to affiliates is accrued monthly, with payments received semi-annually. Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) method over 39 years at acquisition, and improvements and additions are depreciated using the straight-line method over the remaining life of the real estate. At December 31, 2006, some partnerships were accounted for on the equity basis and some were accounted at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2007, partnerships are recorded at the contracted sale value, which represents fair value of the partnerships. Changes in carrying value are included in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of fixed-maturity securities, securities held under agreements to repurchase, and equity securities are obtained from third-party pricing sources whenever possible, except for short-term securities that are priced at amortized cost. In certain cases, including private assets as well as certain difficult-to-price securities, internal pricing models may be used that are based on market proxies. The internal pricing models use yield spreads versus U.S. treasury bonds to estimate a market price; approximately 2.5% of the fixed-maturity securities are 14 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) valued using this method. The models also use market yields of corporate securities with credit and maturity characteristics similar to the security being priced to derive a spread to treasuries, approximately 0.4% of the fixed-maturity securities are valued using this method. All prices that are not supplied by pricing vendors are reviewed and approved by the AZOA Head of Fixed Income and further reviewed and approved by the AZOA Chief Operating Officer or AZOA Compliance Officer. The fair value of mortgage loans on real estate has been calculated using discounted cash flows and is based on pertinent information available to management as of year-end. The fair value of the options is derived internally, by calculating their expected discounted cash flows, using a set of calibrated, risk-neutral stochastic scenarios, including a market data monitor, a market data model generator, a stochastic scenario calibrator, and the actual asset pricing calculator. Fair value of loans to affiliates is calculated by management using the market price of a financial instrument with similar characteristics. Short-term securities, which include certificates of deposit, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Policy loan balances, which are supported by the underlying cash value of the policies, approximate fair value. Realized gains and losses are computed based on the sale lots with the highest cost basis on the trade date. Those lots are sold first. The Company adjusts DAC, DSI, and VOBA for unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments that support policyholder liabilities. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale investments are reflected as a direct charge or credit to accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholder's equity, net of related adjustments for DAC, DSI, VOBA, and deferred taxes that would have been recorded if these investments had been sold as of the Balance Sheet date. Changes in the fair value of trading investments are recorded as realized investment gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company reviews the entire available-for-sale investment portfolio each quarter to determine whether or not declines in fair value are other-than-temporary. The Company views equity securities that have a fair value of at least 20% below average cost at the end of a quarter or are in an unrealized loss position for nine consecutive months as other-than-temporarily impaired. However, other factors, including market analysis, current events, and management's judgment, are also used to determine whether equity securities are considered other-than-temporarily impaired and may result in an equity security being impaired. All previously impaired equity securities will also incur additional impairments should the fair value fall below the book value. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB), FASB Staff Position (FSP) FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, THE MEANING OF OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT AND ITS APPLICATION TO CERTAIN INVESTMENTS (FSP FAS 115-1). The Company continues to evaluate factors in addition to average cost and fair value, including credit quality, market analysis, current events, and management's judgment, to determine whether fixed-income securities are considered other-than-temporarily impaired. In addition, FSP FAS 115-1 requires that the Company evaluate other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities based on additional factors. Specifically, declines in value resulting from changes in risk-free interest rates must also be considered. If a fixed-maturity security's fair market value is less than its amortized cost value, an impairment loss must be recorded unless management can assert its ability and intent to hold until recovery. The Company's absence of control over the investment manager's decision to sell (or hold) renders the Company unable to assert ability to hold to recovery and will therefore require the Company to classify all impairments as other-than-temporary and recognize an impairment loss in the period of the decline. In periods subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment loss, the impaired fixed-maturity security must be accounted for as if it had been purchased on the date of the impairment. That is, the discount or reduced premium recorded from the fixed-maturity security would be accreted over its remaining life in a prospective manner. Impairments in the value of securities held by the Company, considered to be other-than-temporary, are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the security, and a corresponding realized loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company adjusts DAC, DSI, and VOBA for impairments on fixed-maturity securities, as discussed in their respective sections of this note. 15 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) INVESTMENTS RECORDED USING THE EQUITY METHOD The Company uses the equity method of accounting for various organizations in which the Company holds a minority interest. The Company's proportionate share of gains or losses is reflected in equity in earnings of equity method investees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. ACCOUNTING FOR OPTION AND FUTURES CONTRACTS The Company provides additional benefits through certain life and annuity products, which may increase the policy annuitization value based on the growth in the Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500 index, the NASDAQ 100 index, the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) 100, and an index comprised of a blend of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, FTSE 100, Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate, and the Russell 2000. In addition, certain variable annuity contracts provide minimum guaranteed benefits that do not fluctuate with interest rates. The Company has analyzed the characteristics of these benefits and have entered into over-the-counter (OTC) option contracts and exchange-traded futures contracts tied to an appropriate underlying index with similar characteristics in order to attempt to economically hedge these risks. The Company began entering into exchange-traded futures contracts in 2005 to attempt to increase the effectiveness of the economic hedge. Management monitors correlation of in-force amounts and option and futures contract values to ensure satisfactory matching. If persistency assumptions were to deviate significantly from anticipated rates, management would purchase or sell option and futures contracts as deemed appropriate or take other actions. For products based on the growth of the S&P 500 index, the NASDAQ 100 index, and the FTSE 100, the Company transacts in European-Asian call-option contracts. The strike price depends on the product, index period, cap, and credited rate. Four types of options are purchased: five-year options with daily averaging of the index during the last year of the contract, one-year call spread with monthly averaging of the index, 1 and 3 year monthly sum Cliquet options, and 1-year forward/1-month call options. In addition, the Company employed derivative strategies of transacting in combinations of call options, put spread options, and exchange-traded futures contracts. These derivatives are based on the representative index, can be one month to one year in length, and are point to point. For variable annuity products that provide minimum guaranteed benefits, the Company's derivative strategy entails using a combination of buying one-year put options and writing one-year call options and transacting in futures contracts tied to a representative index with similar characteristics to attempt to economically hedge these risks, and are point to point. The OTC option contracts are reported at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the options are derived internally and deemed by management to be reasonable. The process of deriving internal derivative prices requires the Company to calibrate Monte Carlo scenarios to actual market information. The calibrated scenarios are applied to derivative cash flow models to calculate fair value prices for the derivatives. The liability for the benefits is reported in policy and contract account balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in unrealized gains and losses on the option contracts are recorded net of changes in the related policyholder balances for benefits and are included in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Incremental gains and losses from expiring options are included in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Futures contracts do not require an initial cash outlay and the Company has agreed to daily net settlement based on movements of the representative index. Therefore, no asset or liability is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and/or losses on futures contracts are included in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company is required to post collateral for futures contracts by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), and London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE). The Company retains ownership of the collateral but the collateral resides in an account designated by the exchange and the collateral is subject to specific exchange rules regarding 16 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) rehypothecation. Collateral posted at December 31, 2007 and 2006 had a fair value of $668,385 and $602,166, respectively, and is included in fixed-maturity securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized (losses) gains from option contracts used to attempt to economically hedge certain life and annuity products tied to the S&P 500 index or NASDAQ 100 index were $(211,217), $127,367, and $(21,346) for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Realized gains (losses) on the exercise of options were $10,743, $80,182, and $(99,501) in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Net realized (losses) gains on futures were $(46,340), $459,046, and $84,970 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Increases in the policy and contract account balance liability for the index benefit of certain annuity products were $152,379, $1,096,386, and $209,419 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Realized gains (losses) from option contracts used to attempt to economically hedge certain guaranteed benefits were $15,502, $(2,976), and $(1,454) for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Realized losses on the exercise of options were $(24,484), $(20,388), and $(9,642) in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Increases in the policy and contract account balance liability for the guaranteed benefit of certain variable annuity products were $62,135, $5,116, and $3,488 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. In 2007, the Company began to utilize derivatives within certain actively managed investment portfolios that were a net liability of $11,806 at December 31, 2007. Within these portfolios, derivatives can be used for hedging, replication, and income generation only. The Company also enters into contracts with Allianz SE to attempt to economically hedge risk associated with Allianz SE's stock-based compensation plan. The contracts are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the change in fair value recorded in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. (Decreases) increases in fair value of these contracts were $(9,746), $8,788, and $4,389 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company owned 113,830 and 247,986 contracts with a cost of $9,019 and $16,864, respectively, and a fair value of $11,161 and $28,752, respectively. The Company will only enter into option contracts with counterparties rated A- or better and the option contracts are not used for speculative or income-generating purposes. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, 117.3% and 90.0%, respectively, of contractual net exposure was held with five non-affiliated counterparties. Dresdner Bank Aktiengesellschaft, a related party, accounted for 1.1% and 0.4% of contractual net exposure held at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Management believes that no significant credit risk exists. SECURITIES LENDING The Company accounts for its securities lending transactions as secured borrowings, in which the collateral received and the related obligation to return the collateral are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as securities held as collateral and securities lending collateral, respectively. Securities on loan remain on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and interest and dividend income earned by the Company on loaned securities is recognized in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company participates in restricted securities lending arrangements whereby specific securities are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. U.S. Treasury Note securities were lent under a triparty agreement between the Company, broker-dealers (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley), and the Bank of New York. The collateral is defined by the agreement to be at least equal to U.S. Government, U.S. Government Agency, or U.S. Government Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities. Beginning in 2005, the Company began participating in unrestricted arrangements whereby the Company may use collateral for general purposes. See note 15 for further discussion of this affiliated securities lending. 17 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) RECEIVABLES Receivable balances (contractual amount less allowance for doubtful accounts) approximate estimated fair values. This is based on pertinent information available to management as of year-end, including the financial condition and creditworthiness of the parties underlying the receivables. Receivable balances are monitored and allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained based on the nature of the receivable. HOME OFFICE PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consists of furniture, office equipment, leasehold improvements, and computer hardware. Major upgrades and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives (3-7 years, depending on the asset) of depreciable assets using the straight-line method. The cost and accumulated depreciation for home office property and equipment sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are relieved from the accounts, and resulting gains or losses are reflected in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Pre-operating and start-up costs incurred in connection with the construction of the Company's headquarters were capitalized until the facility became operational. Interest was also capitalized in connection with the construction and recorded as part of the asset. These costs are being amortized, using the straight-line method, over a 39-year period. The amount of capitalized costs amortized, including interest, during 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $2,274, $2,268, and $2,259, respectively. An addition to the Company's headquarters was put into operation on November 1, 2006. Total amortization related to this addition was $2,016 and $351 for the periods ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively. INCOME TAXES The Company and its subsidiaries, with the exception of Allianz Life and Annuity Company (ALAC), file a consolidated federal income tax return with AZOA and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated tax allocation agreement stipulates that each company participating in the return will bear its share of the tax liability pursuant to certain tax allocation elections under the Internal Revenue Code and its related regulations and then reimbursement will be in accordance with an intercompany tax reimbursement arrangement. The Company, each of its insurance subsidiaries except ALAC, and Questar Capital Corporation (formerly USAllianz Securities, Inc. and Questar Capital Corporation) generally will be paid for the tax benefit on their losses and any other tax attributes to the extent they could have obtained a benefit against their post-1990 separate return tax liability. The Company provides for federal income taxes based on amounts the Company believes it ultimately will owe. Inherent in the provision for federal income taxes are estimates regarding the deductibility of certain items and the realization of certain tax credits. In the event the ultimate deductibility of certain items or the realization of certain tax credits differs from estimates, the Company may be required to significantly change the provision for federal income taxes recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any such change could significantly affect the amounts reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management uses best estimates to establish reserves based on current facts and circumstances regarding tax exposure items where the ultimate deductibility is open to interpretation. Quarterly, management evaluates the appropriateness of such reserves based on any new developments specific to their fact patterns. Information considered includes results of completed tax examinations, Technical Advice Memorandums, and other rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the tax courts. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income tax. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets 18 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be fully realized (see further discussion in note 14). STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY, LOAN TO AFFILIATE The Company entered into an agreement during 2002 to lend AZOA $250,000 (see further discussion in note 15). This agreement was executed in close proximity to a capital contribution from AZOA of $650,000 in the form of preferred stock of an affiliate (see further discussion in note 15). This loan is recorded as contra-equity in accordance with the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 85-1, CLASSIFYING NOTES RECEIVED FOR CAPITAL STOCK. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY, ACCUMULATED UNREALIZED FOREIGN CURRENCY Foreign currency translation adjustments are related to the conversion of foreign currency upon the consolidation of a foreign subsidiary (see further discussion in note 20). The net assets of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at each year-end. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates from period to period are included in the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS The Company issues variable annuity and life contracts through its separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contractholder. The Company recognizes gains or losses on transfers from the general account to the separate accounts at fair value to the extent of contractholder interests in separate accounts, which are offset by changes in contractholder liabilities. The Company also issues variable annuity and life contracts through its separate accounts where the Company provides certain contractual guarantees to the contractholder. These guarantees are in the form of a guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB), a guaranteed minimum income benefit (GMIB), a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit (GMAB), and a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB). These guarantees provide for benefits that are payable to the contractholder in the event of death, annuitization, or at specified dates during the accumulation period. Separate account assets supporting variable annuity contracts represent funds for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to contractholders. Each fund has specific investment objectives and the assets are carried at fair value. The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company. Separate account assets and liabilities are reported as summary totals on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts charged to the contractholders for mortality and contract maintenance are included in annuity considerations and policy fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Administrative and other services are included in fee and commission revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These fees have been earned and assessed against contractholders on a daily or monthly basis throughout the contract period and are recognized as revenue when assessed and earned. Changes in the liabilities for minimum guarantees are included in annuity benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The GMDB net amount at risk is defined as the guaranteed amount that would be paid upon death, less the current accumulated policyholder account value. The GMIB net amount at risk is defined as the current amount that would be needed to fund expected future guaranteed payments less the current policyholder account value, assuming that all benefit selections occur as of the valuation date. The GMAB net amount at risk is defined as the current amount that would be added to the contracts less the current policyholder account value. 19 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) The GMDB provides a specified minimum return upon death. The survivor has the option to terminate the contract or continue it and have the death benefit paid into the contract. The Company's GMDB options have the following definitions: o RETURN OF PREMIUM: Provides the greater of account value or total deposits made to the contract, less any partial withdrawals and assessments. o RESET: Provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or the most recent five-year anniversary (prior to age 81) account value adjusted for withdrawals. o RATCHET: Provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or the highest specified "anniversary" account value (prior to age 81), adjusted for withdrawals. Currently, there are three versions of ratchet, with the difference based on the definition of anniversary: quarterly - evaluated quarterly, annual - evaluated annually, and six-year - evaluated every sixth year. o ROLLUP: Provides the greater of a return of premium death benefit or premiums adjusted for withdrawals accumulated with a compound interest rate. There are two variations of rollup interest rates: 5% with no cap and 3% with a cap of 150% of premium. This GMDB locks in at age 81. o EARNINGS PROTECTION RIDER: Provides a death benefit equal to the contract value plus a specified percentage of the earnings on the contract at the date of death. The GMIB is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed annuitization value. The GMIB types are: o RETURN OF PREMIUM: Provides the greater of account value or total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals and assessments. o RATCHET: Provides an annuitization value equal to the greater of account value, net premiums, or the highest one-year anniversary account value (prior to age 81), adjusted for withdrawals. o ROLLUP: Provides an annuitization value equal to the greater of account value and premiums adjusted for withdrawals accumulated with a compound interest rate. The GMAB is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed value that was established at least 5 years prior at each contract anniversary. This benefit is first available at the fifth contract anniversary. Depending on the contractholder's selection at issue, this value may be either a return of premium or may reflect market gains, adjusted at least proportionately for withdrawals. The contractholder also has the option to reset this benefit. The GMWB is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed amount of income in the form of partial withdrawals. The benefit is payable provided the covered person is between the ages of 50 and 90. The benefit is a fixed rate (depending on the age of the covered person) multiplied by the benefit base in the first year the benefit is taken and contract value in following years. The benefit does not decrease if the contract value decreases due to market losses. The benefit can decrease if the contract value is reduced by withdrawals. The benefit base used to calculate the initial benefit is the maximum of: the contract value, the quarterly anniversary value, or the 5% annual increase of purchase payments (capped at twice the total purchase payments). 20 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) Guaranteed minimums for the respective years ended December 31 are summarized as follows (note that the amounts listed are not mutually exclusive, as many products contain multiple guarantees):

The GMDB and GMIB liabilities are determined each period by estimating the expected future claims in excess of the associated account balances. The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to annuity benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. The GMAB and GMWB liabilities are determined each period by estimating the expected future claims and the expected future profits and taking the difference. One result of this calculation is that these liabilities can be negative (contra-liability). The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to annuity benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. Products featuring GMWB benefits were first issued in 2007. In the calendar year that a product launches, the reserves are set to zero, until the policy's first anniversary date. Thus, at December 31, 2007, there were no reserves established for products with GMWB benefits. The following assumptions were used to determine the GMDB and GMIB liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006: o 100 stochastically generated investment performance scenarios. o Mean investment performance assumption was 7.96%. o Volatility assumption was 13.69%. o Mortality is assumed to be 60% of the 1994 MGDB Mortality Table as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. o Lapse rates vary by contract type and duration. As of December 31, 2007, spike rates could approach 45%, with an ultimate rate around 20%. As of December 31, 2006, spike rates could approach 40%, with an ultimate rate around 15%. o GMIB contracts have dynamic lapse and benefit utilization assumptions. For example, if the contract is projected to have a large additional benefit, then it becomes more likely to elect the GMIB benefit and less likely to lapse. o Discount rates vary by contract type and are equal to an assumed long-term investment return (8.6%) less the applicable mortality and expense rate. GMAB liabilities are considered to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, and are recognized at fair value in future policy benefit reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in fair value included in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 22 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) PERMITTED STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES The Company is required to file annual statements with insurance regulatory authorities, which are prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules, as well as a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices differ from state to state, may differ from company to company within a state, and may change in the future. The Company currently does not have any permitted practices. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - ADOPTED In September 2006, the FASB issued EITF Issue 06-5, ACCOUNTING FOR PURCHASES OF LIFE INSURANCE - DETERMINING THE AMOUNT THAT COULD BE REALIZED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FASB TECHNICAL BULLETIN NO. 85-4, ACCOUNTING FOR PURCHASES OF LIFE INSURANCE (EITF 06-5). EITF 06-5 requires that the Company consider contractual terms in determining the amount that can be realized under a corporate-owned life insurance policy. In addition, a policyholder should determine the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract assuming the surrender certificate by certificate in a group policy. EITF 06-5 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted EITF 06-5 on January 1, 2007. Adoption of EITF 06-5 resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $415 (net of income tax of $223) to retained earnings as of January 1, 2007. In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 (FIN 48), ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and additional disclosure. Upon adoption, the cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 is reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the balance sheet). This pronouncement was adopted January 1, 2007 and did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 48-1 (FSP FIN 48-1), DEFINITION OF SETTLEMENT IN FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 48. The FSP addresses whether it is appropriate for a company to recognize a previously unrecognized tax benefit when the only factor that has changed, since determining that a benefit should not be recognized, was the completion of an examination or audit by a taxing authority. The FSP is effective January 1, 2007, the date of the Company's initial adoption of FIN 48. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, ACCOUNTING FOR SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS (SFAS NO. 156), AN AMENDMENT TO SFAS NO. 140. SFAS No. 156 requires that servicing assets or liabilities be initially measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in value reported based on either a fair value or amortized cost approach for each class of servicing asset or liabilities. Under previous guidance, such servicing assets or liabilities were initially measured at historical cost and the amortized cost method was required for subsequent reporting. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN HYBRID FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, WHICH AMENDS FASB STATEMENTS NO. 133 AND NO. 140. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF DERIVATIVES: APPLICATION OF STATEMENT 133 TO BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN SECURITIZED FINANCIAL ASSETS. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments 23 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2005, the AcSEC issued SOP 05-1, DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS (DAC) ON INTERNAL REPLACEMENTS, which expands the definition of internal replacements and changes the accounting for DAC on replacements in connection with modifications or exchanges of insurance contracts. An internal replacement, as defined in the guidance, is a policy revision that changes the nature of the investment rights or insurance risk between the Company and the contractholder. The result of the SOP 05-1 methodology change for contracts that are substantially different would result in writing-off the existing DAC balance. This Statement was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted SOP 05-1 on January 1, 2007 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, CONSIDERING THE EFFECTS OF PRIOR YEAR MISSTATEMENTS WHEN QUANTIFYING MISSTATEMENTS IN CURRENT YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. This Bulletin addresses quantifying the financial statement effects of misstatements, specifically, how the effects of prior year uncorrected errors must be considered in quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. This Bulletin is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this SAB did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PLANS - AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENTS NO. 87, 88, 106, AND 132(R), which improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This was effective for public companies with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The Company did have an impact from the adoption as disclosed in note 16. The Statement also requires that an employer measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end. This is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company expects to adopt this guidance on December 31, 2008 and is currently assessing the impact that changing from a September 30 measurement date to a December 31 measurement date will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FSP FAS 124-1 effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The FSP provides guidance on when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, subsequent recognition of other-than-temporary impairment, and disclosures about unrealized losses. The Company adopted the FSP effective December 31, 2006, which resulted in realizing $612,635 of additional losses from interest-related impairments on investments managed by a third party where the investment manager has the discretion to sell securities in a loss position. The realized investment losses impact the current and estimated future gross profits and assessments used in determining the amortization of DAC, DSI, VOBA, URR and the AAR. The investment losses were offset by increases of $322,676 in DAC, $34,424 in DSI, $7,472 in VOBA, $39,323 in URR, and a reduction of $19,715 in the AAR. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND ERROR CORRECTIONS - A REPLACEMENT OF APB OPINION NO. 20 AND SFAS NO. 3. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and applies to voluntary accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. It also applies to changes required by new accounting pronouncements if the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. The standard requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effect of an accounting change or the cumulative effect of the change. Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. 24 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) In January 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised), SHARE-BASED PAYMENT, which requires non-public entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. This Statement also requires the cost of the reward to be recognized over the period in which the employee provided related services. This Statement is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2005; however, the Company chose to adopt early. Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - TO BE ADOPTED In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES - AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133. This statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2009. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (SFAS 141(R)), BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. This statement creates greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. This statement is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will apply SFAS No. 141(R) to business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2009. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - AN AMENDMENT OF ARB 51 (SFAS 160). This statement provides requirements for accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 also requires that accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests be treated as equity transactions. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This Statement is to be applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 160 to have a material financial impact upon adoption. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES. This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the associated changes in fair value reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this statement on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (SFAS No. 157). For financial statement elements currently required to be measured at fair value, this statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The definition focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (an exit price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance on how to measure fair value when required under existing accounting standards. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-1, APPLICATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 157 TO FASB STATEMENT NO. 13 AND OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS THAT ADDRESS FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FOR PURPOSES OF LEASE CLASSIFICATION OR MEASUREMENT UNDER STATEMENT 13 and FSP FAS 157-2 EFFECTIVE DATE OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 157. FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, ACCOUNTING FOR LEASES 25 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) (SFAS 13), and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements under SFAS No. 13. FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The two FSPs will not have an impact on the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 157. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this statement on its Consolidated Financial Statements. RECLASSIFICATIONS AND IMMATERIAL CORRECTIONS Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. During 2007, the Company reclassified certain investment expenses from affiliated net investment income to non-affiliated net investment income. The reclassification resulted in adjustments to the Consolidated Statements of Operations as presented in the table below:
2006 2005 -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- As originally Adjustment As adjusted As originally Adjustment As adjusted reported reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Revenue Net investment income, affiliated $ 15,942 $ 23,081 $ 39,023 $ 18,955 $ 20,100 $ 39,055 Net investment income, non-affiliated 1,673,746 (23,081) 1,650,665 1,406,993 (20,100) 1,386,893 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Total revenue $ 1,997,849 $ - $ 1,997,849 $ 2,253,679 $ - $ 2,253,679 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
During 2007, following the issuance of the 2006 and 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplemental Schedules, the Company identified two reclassification errors. One of the reclassifications impacted the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows only, and the other reclassification impacted both the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The reclassification amounts, and reporting implications, are detailed below: The first reclassification (Adjustment 1) related to the presentation of the sale of an interest in an equity method investee. In 2006, Allianz Individual Insurance Group, LLC (AZIIG), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold its 50% membership interest in Life Sales LLC (Life Sales) for $23,587. The Company's investment interest in Life Sales amounted to $1,136, which resulted in a gain of $22,451 on the sale. The gain was incorrectly reported as a cash outflow in the investing activities section of the 2006 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows with an offsetting amount recorded in operating activities. Adjustment 1 also caused a misstatement of the net cash provided by operating activities. The Company has adjusted certain amounts in the 2006 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, to present the gain from the sale as a cash inflow from investing activities. This adjustment did not affect the Company's previously reported revenue, net income, stockholder's equity, total cash flows, or cash balances. The second reclassification (Adjustment 2) is related to the classification of negative cash balances, where the right of set off exists. Additional analysis of the cash accounts during 2007 resulted in the determination that certain negative cash accounts met the conditions of the right of set off, and therefore, $126,746 and $77,154 were reclassified from other liabilities to cash for 2006 and 2005, respectively. As a result of the reclassification of Adjustment 1 and Adjustment 2, the Company has adjusted certain items within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The adjusted items are presented in the tables below: 26 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) Balance Sheet As of December 31, 2006

(3) RISK DISCLOSURES The following is a description of the significant risks facing the Company and how it attempts to mitigate those risks: CREDIT RISK: The risk that issuers of fixed- rate and variable-rate income securities, mortgages on commercial real estate, or transactions with other parties, such as reinsurers and derivative counterparties, default on their contractual obligations. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk by adhering to investment policies that provide portfolio diversification on an asset class, creditor, and industry basis, and by complying with investment limitations governed by state insurance laws and regulations, as applicable. The Company actively monitors and manages exposures, and determines whether any securities are impaired. The aggregate credit risk taken in the investment portfolio is influenced by management's risk/return preferences, the economic and credit environment, and the relationship of credit risk in the asset portfolio to liabilities. For derivative counterparties, the Company attempts to minimize credit risk by establishing relationships with counterparties rated A- and higher. The Company has executed Credit Support Annexes (CSA) with all active counterparties and requires a CSA from all new counterparties added to the counterparty pool. The CSA agreement further limits credit risk by requiring counterparties to post collateral to a trust account based on their current credit rating. The Company reviews the credit rating of the counterparties at least quarterly. CREDIT CONCENTRATION RISK: The risk of increased exposure to major asset defaults (of a single security issuer or class of security issuers); economic conditions (if business is concentrated in a certain industry sector or geographic area); or adverse regulatory or court decisions (if concentrated in a single jurisdiction) affecting credit. The Company's Asset Liability Management Committee (ALM) specifies the asset allocation among major asset classes and a benchmark for each asset class. ALM provides investment guidelines that document the constraints and limits under which the asset manager must operate, including limits in regard to credit concentration. These internal guidelines comply, at a minimum, with state statute. ALM is also responsible for implementing internal controls and procedures to ensure compliance with these investment guidelines. Deviations from these guidelines are monitored and addressed. ALM, and subsequently the Board of Directors, review and approve the mandated investment guidelines at least annually. Mitigation controls include a monthly report from the asset manager that shows the fixed-income risk profile, including sector allocation, credit rating distribution, and other credit statistics. The Company performs a quarterly calculation to ensure compliance with the State of Minnesota basket clause. 28 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) LIQUIDITY RISK: The risk that unexpected timing or amounts of cash needed will require liquidation of assets in a market that will result in loss of realized value or an inability to sell certain classes of assets such that an insurer will be unable to meet its obligations and contractual guarantees. Market or Company conditions may preclude access to, or cause disruption of, outside sources of liquidity (e.g., through borrowing, affiliate advances, reinsurance, or securitization) upon which an insurance company typically relies in the normal course of business. Additionally, the Company may not be able to sell large blocks of assets at current market prices. Liquidity risk also arises from uncertain or unusual cash demands from catastrophic events. In the Company's efforts to manage the potentially increased liquidity needs due to product hedging strategies, the Company has a multi-tiered plan to meet projected cash needs even in unlikely scenarios. In addition, the Company has a substantial portfolio of deferred annuity products designed around a two-tiered structure. Two-tier annuities provide two distinct values to the policyholder for settlement of their annuity proceeds. One value is established for policyholders choosing a cash surrender option and an additional value is established for those choosing an annuitization payment option. The annuitization value is greater than the surrender value and typically includes higher excess interest and index credits and premium bonuses. Since the predominant way policyholders receive their benefits from the annuity is through annuitization of the policy's value, this limits the disintermediation risk to the Company. Benefits are received over a period of years as opposed to total lump-sum surrender of the policy's cash value. INTEREST RATE RISK: The risk that interest rates will change and cause a decrease in the value of an insurer's investments relative to the value of its liabilities and/or an unfavorable change in prepayment activity, resulting in compressed interest margins. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk by offering products that transfer interest rate risk to the policyholder and by attempting to approximately match the maturity schedule of its assets with the expected payouts of its liabilities, both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Asset and liability matching models are used by the Company to mitigate interest rate risk due to the close relationship between its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The Company considers both the maturity and duration of the asset portfolio as compared with the expected duration of the liability reserves. The Company also attempts to mitigate interest rate risk through asset/liability risk controls, including product development and pricing, product management, and investment asset management. The two-tier design discussed above further reduces interest rate risk during annuitization, as the Company has the management option to increase or decrease policyholder participation rates and caps used to calculate policyholder credits to offset changes in expected investment performance. In certain situations, the Company accepts some interest rate risk in exchange for a higher yield on the investment. EQUITY MARKET RISK: The risk that movements in the equity markets will result in losses to assets held within the Company's surplus portfolio or that product features tied to equity markets will increase in value by more than held assets. Fixed indexed annuity (FIA) products increase the policy value based on the growth of market indexes (S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100). The Company attempts to hedge this exposure with a combination of OTC and exchange-traded derivatives tailored to FIA product structures to manage potential policyholder benefit obligations. An additional risk is that some variable annuity products have guarantees, GMWB, GMIB, and GMDB, which provide a guaranteed level of payments irrespective of market movements. The risk here is of a market downturn. The Company has adopted an economic hedging program using derivative instruments (S&P 500 index futures) to attempt to manage this risk and provide for these excess guarantee payments in those situations when the separate account assets are not sufficient to provide for them. For products with GMAB, policyholder contracts allow the Company to employ an automatic investment allocation process to move policyholder funds into fixed accounts during a market downturn to help mitigate this risk. 29 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) LEGAL/REGULATORY RISK: The risk that changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which the Company operates may result in reduced demand for its products or additional expenses not assumed in product pricing. Additionally, the Company is exposed to risk related to how the Company conducts itself in the market and the suitability of its product sales to contractholders. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk by offering a broad range of annuity products and by operating throughout the U.S. The Company actively monitors all market-related exposure and has members that participate in national and international discussions relating to legal, regulatory, and accounting changes that may impact the business. The Company has defined suitability standards that are at least as rigorous, and usually exceeding, the requirements of regulators. RATINGS RISK: The risk that rating agencies change their outlook or rating of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company's. The rating agencies generally utilize proprietary capital adequacy models in the process of establishing ratings for the Company. The Company is at risk to changes in these models and the impact that changes in the underlying business that it is engaged in can have on such models. In an attempt to mitigate this risk, the Company maintains regular communications with the rating agencies and evaluates the impact of significant transactions on such capital adequacy models and considers the same in the design of transactions to minimize the adverse impact of this risk. Stress tests are performed on a quarterly basis to assess how rating agency capital adequacy models would be impacted by severe economic events. (4) ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS On April 1, 2007, the Company purchased 100% of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Templeton Funds Annuity Company (TFAC) from Franklin Agency, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. (FRI). TFAC was subsequently renamed Allianz Life and Annuity Company (ALAC). The results of operations and financial condition of ALAC, which are not material, have been included in the consolidated financial statements since April 1, 2007. ALAC is a life insurance company licensed in forty-five states and the District of Columbia. It has existing variable annuity insurance contracts and is not actively selling or marketing any of the existing products. The primary reason for this acquisition was to obtain the variable annuity licenses, which will be used to issue new products in the future. The Company completed the acquisition on April 1, 2007 for a purchase price of $14,542. The purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The Company has assigned $11,276 to tangible net assets, and $2,050 to identifiable intangible assets consisting of insurance licenses. These intangible assets have indefinite lives and are not amortized but are instead subject to impairment tests. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill in the amount of $1,216. The goodwill and intangible assets are nondeductible for tax purposes. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. 30 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition of April 1, 2007: Cash $ 2,887 Other current assets 9,700 Intangible assets 2,050 Goodwill 1,216 Separate account assets 9,338 ------------ Total assets acquired 25,191 ------------ Current liabilities 1,311 Separate account liabilities 9,338 ------------ ------------ Total liabilities assumed 10,649 ------------ Net assets acquired $ 14,542 ============ In November 2005, the Company purchased Yorktown Financial Companies, Inc., for a purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $20,268, and recorded goodwill of $18,167. The transaction was recorded using the purchase method of accounting. 31 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) (5) INVESTMENTS At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the amortized cost or cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, and estimated fair values of available-for-sale securities are as shown in the following table:

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no available-for-sale investment holdings that were in an unrealized loss position for fixed-maturity securities, and 3 and 4, respectively, for equity securities. The Company's investment portfolio includes mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Due to the high quality of these investments and the lack of sub-prime loans within the securities, the Company does not have a material exposure to sub-prime mortgages. 37 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities)

Investment contracts include certain reserves related to deferred annuity and equity indexed universal life products. These reserves are included in the future policy benefit reserves and the policy and contract claims balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of separate account assets were determined using the fair value of the underlying investments held in segregated mutual funds. Fair values of separate account liabilities were determined using the cash surrender values of the contractholders' accounts. 38 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) Fair values of investment contracts, which include deferred annuities and other annuities without significant mortality risk, are determined by testing amounts payable on demand against discounted cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the risks involved. Fair value of mortgage notes payable is the present value pay-off amount, calculated using current market interest rates, including unpaid principal balance and any applicable prepayment fees. The fair value of the option liability is derived internally. Changes in market conditions subsequent to year-end may cause fair values calculated subsequent to year-end to differ from the amounts presented herein.

The impairment is included in general and administrative expenses on the 2006 Consolidated Statement of Operations. During 2007 and 2006, there were no other events or changes, other than as described above, in circumstances that warranted recoverability testing for intangible assets.

40 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) The Company reviews its best estimate assumptions each year and typically records "unlocking" as appropriate. During 2007, the Company completed a comprehensive study of assumptions underlying estimated gross profits (EGP), resulting in an "unlocking". This study was based on recent changes in the organization and businesses of the Company and actual and expected performance of in-force policies. The study included all assumptions, including mortality, lapses, expenses, and separate account returns. The revised best estimate assumptions were applied to the current in-force policies to project future gross profits. The pre-tax impact on the Company's assets and liabilities as a result of the unlocking during 2007 was as follows: Assets DAC $ (185,748) DSI (20,290) ----------------- Total asset decrease (206,038) Liabilities Policy and contract account balances (478,733) Future policy benefit reserves (7,810) ----------------- Total liabilities decrease (486,543) ----------------- Net increase to income before taxes 280,505 Deferred income tax expense 98,177 ----------------- Net increase to net income $ 182,328 ================= (10) DEFERRED SALES INDUCEMENTS DSI at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 and the changes in the balance for years then ended are as follows:

(11) MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE In April 2005, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Wells Fargo National Bank (Wells Fargo), not to exceed $95,000, as short-term financing for the construction of an addition to the Company's headquarters. In June 2006, the loan was paid in full. In July 2004, the Company obtained an $80,000 mortgage loan from Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company for the Company's headquarters. In 2005, the Company agreed to enter into a separate loan agreement with Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company in conjunction with the construction of an addition to the Company's headquarters of $65,000. This loan was funded in June 2006 and combined with the existing mortgage. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the combined loan had a balance of $134,123 and 41 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) $138,900, respectively. This 20-year, fully amortizing loan has an interest rate of 5.52%, with a maturity date of August 1, 2024. The level principal and interest payments are made monthly. The loan allows for prepayment; however, it is accompanied by a make-whole provision. The proceeds of this mortgage were used to pay off a floating rate construction loan from Wells Fargo that the Company used to finance the acquisition of property for, and construction of, the Company's headquarters. The Company has long-term debt in the form of a mortgage on an investment in real estate in the amount of $0 and $8,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The interest on the loan was paid each month at 7.22% annually. The loan was paid in full in August 2007. Interest expense for all loans was $7,942, $5,352, and $5,217 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, and is presented in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The future principal payments required under the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company's loan are as follows: 2008 $ 5,048 2009 5,334 2010 5,636 2011 5,955 2012 and beyond 112,150 ------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 134,123 ------------------------------------------------------------- (12) ACCIDENT AND HEALTH CLAIM RESERVES Accident and health claim reserves are based on estimates that are subject to uncertainty. Uncertainty regarding reserves of a given accident year is gradually reduced as new information emerges each succeeding year, thereby allowing more reliable re-evaluations of such reserves. While management believes that reserves as of December 31, 2007 are appropriate, uncertainties in the reserving process could cause such reserves to develop favorably or unfavorably in the near term as new or additional information emerges. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in the operating results of the periods in which they are made. Movements in reserves, which are small relative to the amount of such reserves, could significantly impact the Company's future reported earnings. 42 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) Activity in the accident and health claim reserves is summarized as follows:
2007 2006 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at January 1, net of reinsurance recoverables of $329,398, $215,327, and $195,333, respectively $ 60,189 $ 155,552 $ 133,523 Adjustment primarily related to commutation and assumption reinsurance on blocks of business (98) (18,564) (1,809) Incurred related to: Current year 10,998 80,336 173,406 Prior years 3,925 (3,962) 10,148 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total incurred 14,923 76,374 183,554 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paid related to: Current year 1,690 33,308 56,768 Prior years 9,911 119,865 102,948 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total paid 11,601 153,173 159,716 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, net of reinsurance recoverables of $234,740, $329,398, and $215,327, respectively $ 63,413 $ 60,189 $ 155,552 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior year incurreds for 2007 reflect unanticipated adverse claim development with reinsurance assumed and LTC-Retropool business. Prior year incurreds in 2006 reflect the commutation activity on the reinsurance assumed business and the release of the Health claim handling reserve. Prior-year incurreds for 2005 reflect unanticipated adverse claim development on prior policy years for both stop loss and reinsurance assumed business. The significant decrease in total incurred and total paid claims from 2006 to 2007 is a result of the exiting of the Health Products business on October 1, 2006 as discussed in note 13. (13) REINSURANCE The Company primarily enters into reinsurance agreements to manage risk resulting from its life and accident and health businesses, as well as businesses the Company has chosen to exit. In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding risks under excess yearly renewal term (YRT) coverage and first dollar quota share coinsurance and YRT contracts. The Company retains a maximum of $10,000 coverage per individual life. Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. A contingent liability exists to the extent that the Company's reinsurers are unable to meet their contractual obligations under reinsurance contracts. Management is of the opinion that no liability will accrue to the Company with respect to this contingency. Included in reinsurance recoverables at December 31, 2007 are $1,476,367, $1,002,726, $445,223, $355,299, and $306,754 of claim-related recoverables from five insurers who, as of December 31, 2007, were rated A- or higher by A.M. Best's Insurance Reports. The Company mitigates risk by arranging trust accounts or letters of credit with certain insurers. Insurers with ratings lower than A-, and without a trust account or letter of credit, account for less than 5% of the total Reinsurance recoverable as of December 31, 2007. 43 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) Effective June 30, 2005, the Company recaptured certain life and annuity business previously ceded to SCOR Life Re. Related to this transaction, the Company paid a ceding commission of $8,500 for the recapture of $311,712 in reserves and $5,956 of policyholder loans. Of the amounts ceded to others, the Company ceded accident and health premiums earned to the Company's ultimate parent, Allianz SE of $37, $387, and $712 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Effective June 30, 2006, the Company recaptured certain health business previously ceded to R.W. Morey. Related to this transaction, the Company paid a ceding commission of $14,800 for the recapture of $37,873 in reserves. During 2006, the Company made the decision to exit the health products business. On October 1, 2006, the Company entered into a 100% quota share agreement with an unrelated insurance company, Houston Casualty Company (HCC) to reinsure the health block of business. Related to this transaction, the Company received a ceding commission of $140,000 for the recapture of $151,507 in reserves. In addition, the Company recorded a deferred gain of $136,803, which is being amortized into operations through 2009. The Company amortized $84,039 and $44,857 for 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining deferred gain was $7,906 and $91,946 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Offsetting the deferred gain, total incremental expenses of $24,859 were incurred in 2006 including $14,898 for commutation of certain reinsurance agreements in contemplation of the agreement with HCC, $7,565 for employee-related termination benefits, and $2,396 for write-off of capitalized software costs. The commutation of reinsurance agreements expense is included in benefit recoveries and the other incremental expenses are included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2006, all of these incremental costs were paid except for a $124 liability for termination benefits, which was paid in 2007. Throughout 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Company entered into numerous reinsurance arrangements with unrelated insurance companies to reinsure additional accident and health business, as well as group life and accident and health business that the Company decided to exit. In connection with these agreements, the Company had ceded premiums of $71,549, $75,981, and $2,158 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, and received expense allowances of $3,505, $3,539, and $163 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Prior to 2000, the Company entered into various 100% coinsurance agreements with unrelated insurance companies to coinsure certain blocks of life and annuity business. Deferred gain on reinsurance resulting from these transactions is being amortized over the projected earnings patterns of the related reinsured policies. During 2007, 2006, and 2005, $11,652, $12,659, and $13,807, respectively, were amortized and included in other revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred gain on reinsurance remaining as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $54,026 and $65,677, respectively. During 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of LifeUSA Holding, Inc. (LifeUSA). As a result of the merger, the Company became party to reinsurance agreements entered into to limit exposure to loss and preserve surplus in a high-growth environment. Reinsurance recoverables of $2,346,440 and $2,364,625 were recorded as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in connection with these agreements. During 2003, the Company exited the traditional life reinsurance business via a 100% coinsurance agreement with an unrelated insurance company, Reinsurance Group of America, Inc. (RGA). In 2004, the majority of the in-force business that was coinsured with RGA was novated. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the remaining deferred gain after the novation was $6,841 and $8,531, respectively, and was included in deferred income on reinsurance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred gain amortization was $1,689, $1,890 and $2,066 during 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, and was included in deferred gain on reinsurance in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 44 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) (14) INCOME TAXES INCOME TAX EXPENSE Total income tax expense for the years ended December 31 is as follows:

45 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) The Company was under audit by the IRS for the years ended December 31, 1991 through December 31, 2002. In June 2005, the joint Committee on Taxation approved the settlement of a refund claim filed by the Company that related to years under audit. This refund claim resulted in a net benefit, including tax and interest, of approximately $81,199. The benefit is reflected in income tax expense attributable to operations in the 2005 Consolidated Statement of Operations. During 2005, the Company also recorded a release of tax contingency reserve as a result of the IRS finalizing their audit of years 1991 through 2002. COMPONENTS OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ON THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET Tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to the significant components of the net deferred tax liability, which is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, at December 31 are as follows:
2007 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred tax assets: Policy reserves $ 1,710,145 $ 1,701,390 Coinsurance deferred income 28,424 63,195 Expense accruals 84,972 33,787 Other-than-temporarily impaired assets 466,525 227,030 Provision for post-retirement benefits 2,442 2,280 Other 154 1,981 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred tax assets 2,292,662 2,029,663 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred acquisition costs 1,778,976 1,675,840 Investment income 103,761 140,383 Depreciation/amortization 24,276 23,907 Value of business acquired 9,924 18,846 Deferred intercompany gain 7,858 7,421 Net unrealized gain on investments and foreign exchange 404,312 162,358 Other 4,599 8,242 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred tax liabilities 2,333,706 2,036,997 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net deferred tax liability $ 41,044 $ 7,334 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although realization is not assured, the Company believes it is not necessary to establish a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset, as it is more likely than not the deferred tax asset will be realized principally through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and future taxable income. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and future taxable income are reduced. Income taxes paid by the Company were $143,000, $83,896, and $239,034 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company had a tax receivable from AZOA of $103,550 and $45,387, reported in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had a tax payable separate from the agreement with AZOA in the amount of $236 and $1,028, respectively. These amounts are for foreign taxes and taxes on a majority owned subsidiary. 46 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) The Company and its subsidiaries, except Allianz Life and Annuity Company, file a consolidated federal income tax return with AZOA and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, state, and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003. The Company's parent AZOA had net operating losses in 2000 through 2003 that were carried forward and used to offset taxable income in 2005 through 2007. Although the statute has closed for these years, they remain open to the extent that net operating losses utilized in future years can be adjusted. The years in which the net operating losses were used to offset taxable income will be open for examination for three years after the tax return for the given year was filed. 2005 through 2007 will close in 2009 through 2011, respectively. The tax year 2004 will close in 2008. The IRS has notified AZOA of its intent to initiate an audit of tax year 2006 during the calendar year 2008. At this time the Company is not aware of any adjustments that may be proposed by the IRS. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $21,578 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as an increased current tax liability and an increased deferred tax asset as of January 1, 2007. It is reasonably expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase in 2008 by approximately the same amount as it did in year 2007. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Balance at January 1, 2007 $ 21,578 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 1,383 ------------- ------------- Balance at December 31, 2007 $ 22,961 ============= Included in the balance at December 31, 2007 are $22,961 of tax positions for which the deductibility is more likely than not; however, there is uncertainty with respect to the timing of the deduction. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalty, the disallowance would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in Federal Income Tax Expense. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Company recognized (benefits) expense of approximately $(3,632), $6,769, and $0, respectively, in interest and penalties. The Company had approximately $3,137, and $6,769 for the payment of interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. (15) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS Allianz Individual Insurance Group, LLC (AZIIG), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold its 50% membership interest in Life Sales LLC (Life Sales) on February 1, 2006 for $23,587. AZIIG transferred its interest in Life Sales to a related party, Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, a sister company wholly owned by the same parent company, Allianz of America, Inc. As a result of this sale, the Company recognized a gain on the sale net of tax of $14,593. The Company held related-party invested assets of $725,826 and $218,553 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing 1.5% and 1% of total invested assets and 18.7% and 6.5% of capital for the respective years. The Company does not foresee a credit risk with these investments given the financial strength of Allianz SE, which currently has an A.M. Best rating of A+. 47 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) In December 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to lend Allianz SE $350,000.

The interest rate is a fixed rate of 7.18%. AZOA pledged as collateral a security interest in shares of the common stock outstanding of Allianz Global Risks US Insurance Company (AGR), which had a statutory book value as of the date of the loan equal to 125% of the loan. Interest of $6,137, $6,974, and $7,180 was earned during 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, and is included in the affiliated net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In September 2005, the Company purchased corporate bonds with a carrying value of $98,081 from Fireman's Fund Insurance Company. This transaction included $1,560 of accrued interest and resulted in no gain or loss being recorded by either party. Beginning in 2005, the Company began participating in securities lending arrangements whereby specific securities are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. The agent for the Company is an affiliate, Dresdner Klienwort Wasserstein. The Company had $177 and $150 in fair value of loaned securities outstanding as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The fair value of collateral accepted that can be sold or repledged amounted to $199 and $151, of which none was sold or repledged as of December 31, 2007 or 2006, respectively. The Company earned fee revenue of $5,190, $4,451, and $4,025 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, in connection with these arrangements, which is reported in non-affiliated net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See further discussion in note 2. In December 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to lend AZOA $250,000.

The interest rate is a fixed rate of 6%. The loan is not collateralized. The fair value of the loan was $256,950 and $254,558 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The outstanding loan balance is included as a component of stockholder's equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest of $15,000 was earned during 2007, 2006, and 2005 and is included in non-affiliated net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company purchases and writes option contracts with Dresdner Bank Aktiengesellschaft, a subsidiary of Allianz SE, as part of a derivative hedging strategy (see further discussion in note 2). At December 31, 2007 and 2006, options purchased were $1,772 and $1,600, respectively. The Company has real estate investment properties leased to affiliates. The Company reported $4,064, $3,993, and $3,407 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, for rental income included in the affiliated net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has an agreement to sublease office space to Fireman's Fund Insurance Company (FFIC). The Company received rental income of $86, $24, and $22 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. In addition, the Company leases office space from FFIC pursuant to a 48 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) sublease agreement. In connection with this subleasing arrangement, the Company has incurred rent expense of $157, $150, and $64 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In September 2007, the Company received a capital contribution of $150,000 from AZOA. (16) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company participates in the Allianz Asset Accumulation Plan (AAAP), a defined contribution plan sponsored by AZOA. Eligible employees are immediately enrolled in the AAAP upon their first day of employment. The AAAP will accept participants' pre-tax or after-tax contributions up to 80% of the participants' eligible compensation, although contributions remain subject to annual limitations set by the 49 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Under the eligible employees' provisions, the Company will match 100% of contributions up to a maximum of 6%. Participants are 100% vested in the Company's matching contribution after three years of service. The Company may decide to declare a profit-sharing contribution under the AAAP based on the discretion of Company management. The Company has not yet determined if there will be a profit-sharing contribution under the AAAP for the plan year ended December 31, 2007. The Company declared a profit-sharing contribution of 1.5% of employees' salaries for the plan year ended December 31, 2006 and 2.5% of employees' salaries for the plan year ended December 31, 2005, reported in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and funded in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Employees are not required to participate in the AAAP to be eligible for the profit-sharing contribution. The expenses of administration of the AAAP and the trust fund, including all fees of the trustee, investment manager, and auditors, are payable from the trust fund but may, at the Company's discretion, be paid by the Company. Any counsel fees are not paid from the trust fund, but are instead paid by the Company. It is the Company's policy to fund the AAAP costs as incurred. The Company has expensed $9,960, $12,679, and $10,751 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, toward the AAAP matching contributions and administration expenses. The Company sponsors a deferred compensation plan for a defined group of highly compensated employees, with a minimum base salary of $125, for the purpose of providing tax planning opportunities, as well as supplemental funds upon retirement. The plan is unfunded, meaning no assets of the Company have been segregated or defined to represent the liability for accrued assets under the plan. Employees are 100% vested upon enrollment in the plan and funds are invested the first day of each month, with the Company paying any fee expense. The accrued liability of $14,776 and $17,860 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is recorded in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company sponsors a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for a defined group of agents. The Company may decide to make discretionary contributions to the plan in the form and manner the Company determines. Discretionary contributions are currently determined based on production. The accrued liability of $11,067 and $3,239 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is recorded in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company participates in a stock-based compensation plan sponsored by Allianz SE, which awards certain employees Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) that are tied to Allianz SE stock. Allianz SE determines the number of SARs and RSUs granted to each participant. The Company records expense equal to the change in fair value of the units during the reporting period. Expense of $4,326, $10,980, and $6,660 was recorded in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related liability of $6,192 and $14,860 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is recorded in accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See further discussion in note 2. The Company is participating in an Employee Stock Purchase Plan sponsored by AZOA that is designed to provide eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase American Depository Shares of Allianz SE at a discounted price. An aggregate amount of 250,000 American Depository Shares are reserved for this plan. Allianz SE determines the purchase price of the share based on the closing price of an Ordinary Share of Allianz SE on the Frankfurt stock exchange on the date of each purchase. Employees are given the opportunity to purchase these shares annually on a predetermined date set by Allianz SE. Employees are not allowed to sell or transfer the shares for a one-year period following the purchase date. The difference between the market price and the discount price, or the discount, is paid by the Company and amounted to $457, $281, and $297 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. 50 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) In 2005, the Company started an Employee Severance Pay Plan for the benefit of eligible employees. The plan may provide severance benefits on account of an employee's termination of employment from the Company. To become a participant in the plan, an employee must be involuntarily terminated. In addition, the Company must determine that it wishes to provide the employee with a severance payment and must issue a written Severance Pay Award. The plan is unfunded, meaning no assets of the Company have been segregated or defined to represent the liability for payments under the plan. The Company expensed $5,712, $5,135 and $408 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, toward severance payments. The Company offers certain benefits to eligible employees, including a comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plan and a flexible spending plan. Associated with these plans, the Company provides certain post-retirement benefits to employees who retired on or before December 31, 1988 or who were hired before December 31, 1988 and who have at least ten years of service when they reach age 55. Employees of the Company hired or rehired after December 31, 1988 or who became employees of the Company as a result of a merger or acquisition after January 1, 1989 are not eligible for retiree medical or life insurance coverage. The Company's plan obligation at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $6,978 and $6,514, respectively. This liability is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During 2005, for tax advantages, the Company pre-funded its post-retirement liability. The Company plans to continue pre-funding in the future. The Company's plan assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $14,503 and $13,500, respectively. In 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PLANS. The amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income consist of: 2007 2006 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net actuarial gain (loss) $ 78 $ (2,763) $ - Prior service (cost) credit (1,190) 5,185 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ (1,112) $ 2,422 $ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the next fiscal year, the estimated actuarial loss and estimated prior service cost that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost are $297 and $(1,188), respectively. No plan assets are expected to be returned to the Company during the next 12-month period. (17) STATUTORY FINANCIAL DATA AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS Statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Company's state of domicile are directed toward insurer solvency and protection of policyholders. Accordingly, certain items recorded in financial statements prepared under GAAP are excluded or vary in calculation in determining statutory policyholders' surplus and gain from operations. Currently, these items include, among others, DAC, furniture and fixtures, deferred taxes, and accident and health premiums receivable which are more than 90 days past due, reinsurance, certain investments, and undeclared dividends to policyholders. Additionally, future policy benefit reserves and policy and contract account balances calculated for statutory reporting do not include provisions for withdrawals. The statutory capital and surplus of the Company reported in the statutory annual statement filed with the Sate of Minnesota as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $2,441,338 and $2,447,865, respectively. The statutory net income of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $78,077, $318,528, and $468,803, respectively. The Company is required to meet minimum statutory capital and surplus requirements. The Company's statutory capital and surplus as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were in compliance with these requirements. 51 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) The maximum amount of dividends that can be paid by Minnesota insurance companies to stockholders without prior approval of the Commissioner of Commerce is subject to restrictions relating to statutory earned surplus, also known as unassigned funds. Unassigned funds are determined in accordance with the accounting procedures and practices governing preparation of the statutory annual statement. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the Company may declare and pay from its surplus cash dividends of not more than the greater of 10% of its beginning-of-the-year statutory surplus, or the net gain from operations of the insurer, not including realized gains, for the 12-month period ending the 31st day of the next preceding year. Ordinary dividends of $244,134 can be paid in 2008 without prior approval of the Commissioner of Commerce. REGULATORY RISK-BASED CAPITAL An insurance enterprise's state of domicile imposes minimum risk-based capital requirements that were developed by the NAIC. The formulas for determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of an enterprise's regulatory total adjusted capital to its authorized control level risk-based capital, as defined by the NAIC. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. This ratio for the Company was 555% and 594% as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Regulatory action level against a company may begin when this ratio falls below 200%. (18) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various pending or threatened legal proceedings. This includes putative and certified class action proceedings arising from the conduct of the Company's business relating to sales practices of fixed annuities. In November 2007, the Company settled one of the pending class action lawsuits. The Company also owns a registered retail broker-dealer that is subject to a putative class action proceeding. For each of the above-mentioned lawsuits, the Company cannot predict the potential outcome at this stage of the proceedings. The Company recognizes legal costs for defending itself as incurred. The Company is contingently liable for possible future assessments under regulatory requirements pertaining to insolvencies and impairments of unaffiliated insurance companies. Provision has been made for assessments currently received and assessments anticipated for known insolvencies. The financial services industry, including mutual fund, variable and fixed annuity, life insurance, and distribution companies, has been the subject of increasing scrutiny by regulators, legislators, and the media over the past few years. Many regulators, including the U.S. SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) (formerly known as National Association of Securities Dealers), and state Attorneys General, commenced industry-wide investigations regarding late trading and market timing in connection with mutual funds and variable insurance contracts, and commenced enforcement actions against some mutual fund and life insurance companies on those issues. Like others in the industry, the Company has been contacted by the SEC, which is investigating market timing in certain mutual funds or in variable insurance products. The Company has responded to these requests, and no further information requests have been received with respect to these matters. In addition, state and federal regulators have commenced investigations or other proceedings relating to compensation and bidding arrangements and possible anti-competitive activities between insurance producers and brokers and issuers of insurance products. Also under investigation are compensation and revenue-sharing arrangements between the issuers of variable insurance contracts and mutual funds or their affiliates, the use of side agreements and finite reinsurance agreements, and funding agreements. Related investigations and proceedings may be commenced in the future. Like others in the industry, the Company and/or its affiliates have 52 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) been contacted by state and federal regulatory agencies for information relating to certain of these investigations. The Company is cooperating with regulators in responding to these requests. Federal and state regulators are also investigating various selling practices in the annuity industry, including suitability reviews, product exchanges, and sales to seniors. In certain instances, these investigations have led to regulatory enforcement proceedings. Included in these proceedings are several lawsuits brought by the Minnesota Attorney General's Office against insurance companies that offer annuities. One of these lawsuits was filed against the Company in January 2007 alleging unsuitable sales of fixed annuities to seniors. That lawsuit was settled in October 2007. While the Company expressly denied the allegations, the Company agreed to adopt certain modifications to the Company's suitability review process and to offer a review process to Minnesota seniors who had purchased deferred fixed annuities since 2001. The Company is also subject to ongoing market conduct examinations by state insurance regulators. In some instances, these examinations may lead to enforcement proceedings. In February 2008, the Company agreed to a settlement with the California Department of Insurance arising out of a market conduct examination report and related enforcement proceeding issued in 2006. While denying the Department's allegations, the Company agreed to adopt additional modifications to the Company's suitability review process, to certain enhancements to the Company's existing processes and to payment of certain penalties, contributions and costs. The impact of these settlements was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. A model regulation has been approved by the NAIC regarding the suitability of sales to seniors, and now has been expanded to include purchasers of all ages. In addition, the SEC has recently approved a proposed FINRA regulation governing the suitability of sales of variable annuities. It can be expected that annuity sales practices will be an ongoing source of litigation and rulemaking. Similarly, private litigation regarding sales practices is ongoing against a number of insurance companies. In addition, federal regulators have commenced a number of inquiries into the FIA industry and have issued various regulatory pronouncements. Among these are inquiries by the SEC and FINRA and a regulatory pronouncement by FINRA. In the SEC inquiry, the staff of the SEC inquired of a number of issuers of unregistered FIAs as to how modern FIA products are structured; how the products are distributed; and whether certain FIAs should be required to register as securities. Like other FIA issuers, the Company was contacted regarding this matter. The Company responded, and there has been no further public action by the SEC. The North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) has identified attempting to get FIA's classified as securities as one of its top legislative priorities for 2008. In addition, FINRA has initiated various inquiries regarding transactions that involve exchanges from variable annuities into FIAs. Like other FIA issuers, the Company was contacted regarding this matter, and is responding. In addition, FINRA in 2005 issued a regulatory Notice to Members advising member firms of the unique issues raised by FIAs, and suggesting that broker-dealers consider taking various actions when their registered representatives sell FIAs as an outside business activity. As a result of this Notice to Members, certain firms have instituted enhanced procedures regarding FIA sales by the representatives, and some firms have placed restrictions on these sales. These proceedings are expected to continue in the future and could result in legal precedents and new industry-wide legislation, rules, and regulations that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including life insurance and annuity companies. It is unclear at this time whether any such litigation or regulatory actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future. The Company has acquired minority equity interests in certain field marketing organizations. Certain provisions within stockholders' agreements, member agreements, and first refusal and put agreements require the Company to purchase part or all of the stock or member interests in the entities to which these agreements pertain, if and when principals of the field marketing organizations choose to exercise certain available options. The exercise period for the various put options ranges from five to ten years, the latest of which expires in 2016. 53 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) If all put options were exercised, requiring the Company to purchase all of the stock or member interests in the entities, the total purchase price that would be paid by the Company based on current calculations would be $28,436. The Company has limited partnership investments that require the commitment of capital over a period of up to ten years. The Company had capital commitments of $68,818 and $98,568, of which $53,394 and $82,176 has been funded, at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Beginning in 2005, the Company has private placement investments that require commitments of capital within the next year. The Company had capital commitments of $33,000 and $22,500 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to private placements. Funding of the private placements occurred in January 2008. The Company has commercial mortgage loan investments that require commitments of capital within the next year. The Company had capital commitments of $182,360 and $260,837 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These commercial mortgage loan commitments are expected to be fully funded by August 31, 2008. The Company leases office space and certain furniture and equipment pursuant to operating leases. Expense for all operating leases was $5,454, $9,739, and $8,603 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. A partial buyout of an operating lease during 2006 and the subsequent refinancing as a capital lease, reduced future minimum lease payments required under these leases. The future minimum lease payments required under operating leases are as follows: 2008 $ 4,556 2009 2,889 2010 1,782 2011 1,163 2012 and beyond 3,072 ------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 13,462 ------------------------------------------------------------- During 2006, the Company entered into capital leases to finance furniture and equipment for the addition to the Company's headquarters. Expense for all capital leases was $3,120 and $64 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The future minimum lease payments and present value of the net minimum lease payments are as follows: 2008 $ 2,898 2009 2,731 2010 886 2011 886 2012 and beyond 1,717 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total minimum lease payments 9,118 Less: Executory costs (estimated) 572 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net minimum lease payments 8,546 Less: Imputed interest 598 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Present value of net minimum lease payments $ 7,948 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 54 (Continued) ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (In thousands, except share data and security holdings quantities) The Company owns numerous commercial and real estate investment properties leased to various tenants. The typical lease period is five to ten years, with some leases containing renewal options. Under net leases, in addition to their base rent, the tenants are directly responsible for the payment of property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs relating to the leased property. Under gross leases, the tenants pay a rent amount grossed up to include the cost of taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Future minimum lease receipts under noncancelable leasing arrangements as of December 31, 2007 are as follows: 2008 $ 17,868 2009 15,911 2010 12,794 2011 11,197 2012 and beyond 28,442 ------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 86,212 ------------------------------------------------------------- (19) CAPITAL STRUCTURE The Company is authorized to issue three types of capital stock, as outlined in the table below:

INDEMNIFICATION The Bylaws of the Insurance Company provide: ARTICLE XI. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION: (a)Subject to the conditions of this Article and any conditions or limitations imposed by applicable law, the Corporation shall indemnify any employee, director or officer of the Corporation (an "Indemnified Person") who was, is, or in the sole opinion of the Corporation, may reasonably become a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was: (i) a director of the Corporation; or (ii) acting in the course and scope of his or her duties as an officer or employee of the Corporation; or (iii) rendering Professional Services at the request of and for the benefit of the Corporation; or (iv) serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer, director, fiduciary or member of another corporation, association, committee, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (an "Outside Organization"). (b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no officer, director or employee shall be indemnified pursuant to these bylaws under the following circumstances: (i) in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person, in his or her own personal capacity, unless such initiation was authorized by the Board of Directors; (ii) if a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that any indemnification hereunder is unlawful; (iii) for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or knowing and culpable violation of law; (iv) for acts or omissions that the Indemnified Person believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the Indemnified Person; (v) for any transaction for which the Indemnified Person derived an improper personal benefit; (vi) for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the Indemnified Person's duty to the Corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the Indemnified Person was aware or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing the Indemnified Person's duties, of the risk of serious injury to the Corporation or its shareholders; (vii) for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the Indemnified Person's duties to the Corporation or its shareholders; (viii) in circumstances where indemnification is prohibited by applicable law; (ix) in the case of service as an officer, director, fiduciary or member of an Outside Organization, where the Indemnified Person was aware or should have been aware that the conduct in question was outside the scope of the assignment as contemplated by the Corporation. SECTION 2. SCOPE OF INDEMNIFICATION: (a)Indemnification provided pursuant to Section 1(a)(iv) shall be secondary and subordinate to indemnification or insurance provided to an Indemnified Person by an Outside Organization or other source, if any. (b)Indemnification shall apply to all reasonable expenses, liability and losses, actually incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding, including without limitation, attorneys' fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification or advancement under this article, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such expense, liability and loss. (c)Such indemnification shall continue as to any Indemnified Person who has ceased to be an employee, director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, estate, executors and administrators. SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS: (a)"Corporation" for the purpose of Article XI shall mean Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and all of its subsidiaries. (b)"Proceeding" shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, including actions by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor. (c)"Professional Services" shall mean services rendered pursuant to (i) a professional actuarial designation, (ii) a license to engage in the practice of law issued by a State Bar Institution or (iii) a Certified Public Accountant designation issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted for directors and officers or controlling persons of the Insurance Company pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, the Insurance Company 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, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Insurance Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Insurance Company 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 Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
