POLICY SUMMARY

This summary highlights the features and benefits of the policy, the risks that you should consider before purchasing a policy and the fees and charges associated with the policy and its benefits. More detailed information is included in the other sections of this prospectus that should be read carefully before you purchase the policy.

The Policy's Features and Benefits

Premium Payments

· You choose when to pay and how much to pay, but you cannot pay additional premiums after age 95 and we may refuse to accept any premium less than $25.

· You will need to pay sufficient premiums to keep the policy in force. Failure to pay sufficient premiums may cause your policy to lapse.

Payments, See Premium page 21.

· We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.

· We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment and credit the remaining premium (the “net premium”) to the variable account or the fixed account according to your instructions.

Free Look Period

· During the free look period, you have the right to examine your policy and return it for a refund if you are not satisfied for any reason.

See Free Look Period, page 23.

· The free look refund is generally equal to the sum of all premiums we have received, although certain states may require the refund of a different amount.

· The free look period is generally 20 days from the receipt of the policy or 45 days after you applied for the policy. Certain states may allow a different free look period. The length of the free look period and the free look refund that applies in your state will be stated in your policy.

Temporary Insurance

· If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance equal to the amount of insurance for which you applied.

· The maximum amount of temporary insurance is $1 million, which includes other in- force coverage you have with us.

See Temporary Insurance, page 23.

· Temporary insurance may not be available in all states.

Death Benefits  · Death benefits are paid if your policy is in force when the insured person dies. 
  · Until age 95, the amount of the death benefit will depend on which death benefit option is 

See Death Benefits,

page 31.

in effect when the insured person dies.

· You may choose between one of two death benefit options:

Option 1 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A; or Option 2 - the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected plus your policy value or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A.


  • At age 95, the surrender value will be automatically applied to purchase paid-up life insurance. See Paid-Up Life Insurance, page 49.
  • We will reduce the death benefit proceeds payable under any death benefit option by any outstanding policy loans, accrued loan interest and unpaid fees and charges.
  • The death benefit is generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.

Death Benefit Guarantee

· Generally, your policy will not lapse as long as your policy value minus any surrender charge, loan amount and unpaid fees and charges (the “surrender value”) is enough to cover the periodic fees and charges, when due.

 

See Death Benefit Guarantee, page 34.

· However, the policy has a Death Benefit Guarantee which provides that the policy will not lapse even if the surrender value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges, when due: The Death Benefit Guarantee is standard on every policy. This guarantee lasts until the insured person reaches age 65 or for five policy years, if longer. Under this guarantee your policy will not lapse provided your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of minimum premium payments to the next monthly processing date. There is no charge for this guarantee.

Rider Benefits

· Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of rider benefits:

See Additional Insurance Benefits,

page 35.

Optional rider benefits that you must select before they are effective; and Rider benefits that automatically come with your policy.

· In many cases, we deduct an additional monthly charge for these benefits. · Not all riders may be available under your policy.

Investment Options

· You may allocate your net premiums to the subaccounts of Select*Life Variable Account (the “variable account”) and our fixed account.

· The variable account is one of our separate accounts and consists of subaccounts that invest in corresponding funds. When you allocate premiums to a subaccount, we invest

See The Investment

Options, page 16.

any net premiums in shares of the corresponding fund.

· Your variable account value will vary with the investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts and the charges we deduct from your variable account value. · The fixed account is part of our general account and consists of all of our assets other than those in our separate accounts (including the variable account) and loan account. · We credit interest on amounts allocated to the fixed account. The guaranteed minimum interest rate we credit is 3.00% per year (4.00% per year for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004).

· We may, in our sole discretion, credit interest in excess of the guaranteed minimum interest rate.

· The fixed account is not available under policies issued in New Jersey.

Transfers

· You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers between the subaccounts and to the fixed account each policy year. We reserve the right, however, to limit you to four

See Transfers, page 44.

transfers each policy year, and transfers are subject to any other limits, conditions and restrictions that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose.

· There are certain restrictions on transfers from the fixed account.

· We currently do not charge for transfers. We reserve the right, however, to charge up to $25 for each transfer.

Asset Allocation Programs

· Dollar cost averaging is a systematic program of transferring policy values to selected investment options. It is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund's shares is high. It also helps to reduce the risk of investing too little when

See Dollar Cost

Averaging, page 44.

the price of a fund's shares is low.

· Automatic rebalancing is a systematic program through which your variable and fixed account values are periodically reallocated among your selected investment options to

See Automatic

Rebalancing, page 45.

maintain the allocation percentages you have chosen.

· You cannot participate in the automatic rebalancing and dollar cost averaging programs at the same time.

· There is currently no charge to participate in the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs, although we reserve the right to assess a charge in the future.

· Neither of these asset allocation programs assures a profit nor do they protect you against a loss in a declining market.


Select*Life II

Loans

· You may take loans against your policy's surrender value. We reserve the right to limit borrowing during the first policy year.

See Loans, page 42.

· Generally, a loan must be at least $500 and may not exceed 90% (75% for policies issued before February 17, 2004) of your surrender value.

· When you take a loan we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the loan account as collateral for your loan. The loan account is part of our general account.

· We credit amounts held in the loan account with interest. For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, we credit interest at a current annual rate of 3.00% (guaranteed not to be less than 3.00%). For policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, the current annual interest rate is 5.50% (guaranteed not to be less than 4.00%). · We also charge interest on loans. Interest is payable in advance and accrues daily at an annual rate of 4.76% (7.40% for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004). · After the tenth policy year, preferred loans are available. For preferred loans interest is payable in advance at an annual rate currently equal to 2.91% (5.21% for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004) on the portion of your loan account that is not in excess of the policy value, minus the total of all premiums paid net of all partial withdrawals.

· Loans reduce your policy's death benefit and may cause your policy to lapse.

· Loans may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before taking a loan against your policy’s surrender value.

Partial Withdrawals

· After the first policy year, you may withdraw part of your policy's surrender value. · We currently allow only one partial withdrawal each policy year. For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, 12 partial withdrawals are allowed each policy year after the tenth policy year.

See Partial Withdrawals,

page 48.

· A partial withdrawal must be at least $500.

· In policy years two through 15 you may not withdraw more than 20% of your surrender value.

· We currently charge $10 for each partial withdrawal, but we reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each partial withdrawal.

· Partial withdrawals reduce your policy's base death benefit and your policy value. · Partial withdrawals may also have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before taking a partial withdrawal from your policy.

Surrenders

· You may surrender your policy for its surrender value at any time before the death of the insured person.

See Surrender, page 49.

· The surrender value of a policy is equal to the policy value minus any surrender charge, loan amount and unpaid fees and charges.

· Surrender charges apply for 15 years from the issue date of your policy and for 15 years after each increase in your insurance coverage. Surrender charges are level for the first five years and then decrease uniformly each month to zero at the end of the fifteenth year.

The surrender charge is comprised of two charges - the contingent deferred administrative charge and the contingent deferred sales charge. If you surrender your policy during the first two years or during the first two years following an increase in your insurance coverage, we may refund a portion of the contingent deferred sales charge. This refund is referred to as the sales charge refund.

· The initial surrender charge rates vary by gender, risk class and age at issue. Surrender charge rates for increases in your insurance coverage vary by gender, risk class and age at the time of the increase.

· The surrender charge is neither assessed upon nor reduced because of a requested decrease in your insurance coverage.

· If the surrender charge exceeds the available policy value minus the loan amount and unpaid fees and charges, there will be no proceeds paid to you on surrender.

· All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive in good order your surrender request. · If you surrender your policy, it cannot be reinstated.

· Surrendering the policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before surrendering your policy.

Reinstatement  · Reinstatement means putting a lapsed policy back in force. 
  · You may reinstate your policy and riders within five years of its lapse if you did not 

See Reinstatement, page 50.

surrender your policy, you still own the policy and the insured person is still insurable. · You will need to pay the required reinstatement premium.

· A lapsed Death Benefit Guarantee cannot, unless otherwise allowed under state law, be reinstated after the fifth policy year.

· A policy that is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing may be considered a modified endowment contract for tax purposes.

· Reinstating your policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before reinstating your policy.


Factors You Should Consider Before Purchasing a Policy

The decision to purchase a policy should be discussed with your agent/registered representative. Make sure you understand the policy's investment options, its other features and benefits, its risks and the fees and charges you will incur when, together with your agent/representative, you consider an investment in the policy.

Life Insurance Coverage

· The policy is not a short-term investment and should be purchased only if you need life insurance coverage. Evaluate your need for life insurance coverage before purchasing a policy.

· You should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

Fees and Charges

· In the early policy years the surrender charge usually exceeds the policy value because the surrender charge is usually more than the cumulative minimum monthly premiums

See Fees and Charges, page 24.

minus policy fees and charges. Therefore, you should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

· A policy's fees and charges reflect the costs associated with its features and benefits, the services we render, the expenses we expect to incur and the risks we assume under the policy.

· We believe the policy's fees and charges, in the aggregate, are reasonable, but before purchasing a policy you should compare the value that the policy’s various features and benefits and the available services have to you, given your particular circumstances, with the fees and charges associated with those features, benefits and services.

Lapse

· Your policy will not lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy will continue if on any monthly processing date:

See Lapse, page 50.

The Death Benefit Guarantee is in effect; or

Your surrender value is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due. · If you do not meet these conditions, we will send you notice and give you a 61 day grace period to make a sufficient premium payment.

· If you do not make a sufficient premium payment by the end of the 61 day grace period, your life insurance coverage will terminate and your policy will lapse.

Exchanges

· Replacing your existing life insurance policy(ies) and/or annuity contract(s) with the policy described in this prospectus may not be beneficial to you.

See Purchasing a Policy, page 21.

· Before purchasing a policy, determine whether your existing policy(ies) and/or contract(s) will be subject to fees or penalties upon surrender or cancellation.

· Also compare the fees, charges, coverage provisions and limitations, if any, of your existing policy(ies) and/or contract(s) with those of the policy described in this prospectus.


Select*Life II

Investment Risk

· You should evaluate the policy's long-term investment potential and risks before purchasing a policy.

See The Variable

Account, page 16.

· For amounts you allocate to the subaccounts of the variable account:

Your values will fluctuate with the markets, interest rates and the performance of the underlying funds; You assume the risk that your values may decline or not perform to your expectations; Your policy could lapse without value or you may be required to pay additional premium because of poor fund performance; Each fund has various investment risks, and some funds are riskier than others; There is no assurance that any of the funds will achieve its stated investment objective; and You should read each fund's prospectus and understand the risks associated with the fund before allocating your premiums to its corresponding subaccount.

· For amounts you allocate to the fixed account: Interest rates we declare will change over time; and

You assume the risk that interest rates may decline, although never below the guaranteed minimum interest rate of 3.00% (or 4.00% per year for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004).

Taxation

· Under current federal income tax law, death benefits of life insurance policies generally are not subject to income tax. In order for this treatment to apply, the policy must qualify

See TAX

CONSIDERATIONS,

page 51.

as a life insurance contract. We believe it is reasonable to conclude that the policy will

qualify as a life insurance contract.

· Assuming the policy qualifies as a life insurance contract under current federal income tax law, your policy earnings are generally not subject to income tax as long as they remain within your policy. Depending on your circumstances, however, the following events may have tax consequences for you: Reduction in the amount of your insurance coverage; Partial withdrawals; Loans; Surrender; Lapse; and Reinstatement.

· In addition, if your policy is a modified endowment contract, a partial withdrawal, surrender or a loan against or secured by the policy will cause income taxation to the extent of any gain in the policy. A penalty tax may be imposed on a distribution from a modified endowment contract as well.

· There is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or otherwise. You should consult a qualified tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

· Consult with a qualified legal or tax adviser before you purchase a policy.

Sales Compensation

· We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sell the policy. · Broker/dealers may be able to choose to receive compensation under various payment options, but their choice will not affect the fees and charges you will pay for the policy.

See Distribution of the Policy, page 63.

· We generally pay more compensation on premiums paid for base insurance coverage than we do on premiums paid for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Talk to your agent/registered representative about the right blend of base coverage and Term Insurance Rider coverage for you.

Other Products

· We and our affiliates offer other insurance products that may have different features, benefits, fees and charges. These other products may better match your needs.


  • Contact your agent/registered representative if you would like information about these other products.

Fund Fees and Expenses. The following table shows the minimum and maximum total gross annual fund expenses that you may pay during the time you own the policy. Fund expenses vary from fund to fund and may change from year to year. For more detail about a fund’s fees and expenses, review the fund’s prospectus. See also Fund Fees and Expenses, page 29.

    Minimum    Maximum 
Total Gross Annual Fund Expenses 8 (deducted from fund assets)    0.27%    1.93% 

Total gross annual fund expenses are deducted from amounts that are allocated to the fund. They include management fees and other expenses and may include distribution (12b-1) fees. Other expenses may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the company and its affiliates, for administrative and policy owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Distribution (12b-1) fees are used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares.

If a fund is structured as a “fund of funds,” total gross annual fund expenses also include the fees associated with the funds in which it invests. Because of this a fund that is structured as a “fund of funds” may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities. For a list of the “fund of funds” available through the policy, see the chart of funds available through the variable account on page 17.

7      The rate shown is for the first policy year. This rate has been rounded to the nearest penny, and consequently the actual rate may be either more or less than this rounded rate. The rate for this rider depends on the insured person’s age at issue, gender and risk class (where applicable) and generally increases each year after the first policy year. The rate for the representative insured person listed above may be more or less than you will pay, and you should contact your agent/registered representative for information about the rate that applies to you.
 
8      Some funds which are available through the policy have contractual arrangements to waive and/or reimburse certain fund fees and expenses. The minimum and maximum total gross annual fund expenses shown above do not reflect any of these waiver and/or reimbursement arrangements.

THE COMPANY, THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company

We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1885 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota. We are admitted to do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York. Our headquarters is at 20 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401.

We are a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. ING Groep N.V. is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Although we are a subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., ING Groep N.V. is not responsible for the obligations under the policy. The obligations under the policy are solely the responsibility of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company.

We are also a charter member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association (“IMSA”). Companies that belong to IMSA subscribe to a rigorous set of standards that cover the various aspects of sales and service for individually sold life insurance and annuities. IMSA members have adopted policies and procedures that demonstrate a commitment to honesty, fairness and integrity in all customer contacts involving sales and service of individual life insurance and annuity products.

Regulatory Developments -- The Company and the Industry

As with many financial services companies, ReliaStar and its affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters. The New York Attorney General (the “NYAG”), other federal and state regulators and self-regulatory agencies are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices; specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. The company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the company or certain of its U.S. affiliates.

These initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the company is engaged.

In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

Investment Product Regulatory Issues. Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain subsidiaries of ING, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in reports previously filed by affiliates of the company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Action may be taken by regulators with respect to the company or certain affiliates before investigations relating to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the company or certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING's U.S.-based operations, including the company.

ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or the employees of its subsidiaries or from ING's internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING's U.S.-based operations, including the company.

Product Regulation. Our products are subject to a complex and extensive array of state and federal tax, securities and insurance laws, and regulations, which are administered and enforced by a number of governmental and self-regulatory authorities. Specifically, U.S. federal income tax law imposes certain requirements relating to product design, administration, and investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment of such products under the Internal Revenue Code. See Tax Considerations, page 51, for further discussion of some of these requirements. Failure to administer certain product features could affect such beneficial tax treatment. In addition, state and federal securities and insurance laws impose requirements relating to insurance product design, offering and distribution, and administration. Failure to meet any of these complex tax, securities, or insurance requirements could subject the company to administrative penalties, unanticipated remediation, or other claims and costs.

The Investment Options

You may allocate your premium payments to any of the available investment options. These options include the subaccounts of the variable account and the fixed account. The investment performance of a policy depends on the performance of the investment options you choose.

The Variable Account

We established the Select*Life Variable Account (the “variable account”) on October 11, 1984, as one of our separate accounts under the laws of the State of Minnesota. It is a unit investment trust, registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).

We own all of the assets of the variable account and are obligated to pay all amounts due under a policy according to the terms of the policy. Income, gains and losses credited to, or charged against, the variable account reflect the investment experience of the variable account and not the investment experience of our other assets. Additionally, Minnesota law provides that we cannot charge the variable account with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. This means that if we ever became insolvent, the variable account assets will be used first to pay variable account policy claims. Only if variable account assets remain after these claims have been satisfied can these assets be used to pay owners of other policies and creditors.

The variable account is divided into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests in a corresponding fund. When you allocate premium payments to a subaccount, you acquire accumulation units of that subaccount. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds when you allocate premium payments to the subaccounts of the variable account.

Funds Available Through the Variable Account. The following chart lists the funds that are available through the variable account. For additional information about each fund’s investment adviser/subadviser and investment objective, see Appendix B to this prospectus. More detailed information about each fund can be found in each fund’s current prospectus.

Certain funds that are available through the variable account are structured as “fund of funds”. These funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. The “fund of funds” available through the policy are identified in the following chart.

See Appendix B to this prospectus for more information about the funds available through the variable account, including information about each fund’s investment adviser/subadviser and investment objective. Please read and retain the fund prospectuses for more information about each fund’s fees and expenses, investment objective and policies and the risks associated with investing in the fund.

A fund available through the variable account is not the same as a retail mutual fund with the same or similar name. Accordingly, the management, fees and expenses and performance of a fund is likely to differ from a similarly named retail mutual fund.

Voting Privileges. We invest each subaccount's assets in shares of a corresponding fund. We are the legal owner of the fund shares held in the variable account, and we have the right to vote on certain issues. Among other things, we may vote on issues described in the fund's current prospectus or issues requiring a vote by shareholders under the 1940 Act.

Even though we own the shares, we give you the opportunity to tell us how to vote the number of shares attributable to your policy. We count fractional shares. If you have a voting interest, we send you proxy material and a form on which to give us your voting instructions.

Each fund share has the right to one vote. The votes of all fund shares are cast together on a collective basis, except on issues for which the interests of the funds differ. In these cases, voting is on a fund-by-fund basis.

Examples of issues that require a fund-by-fund vote are changes in the fundamental investment policy of a particular fund or approval of an investment advisory agreement.

We vote the shares in accordance with your instructions at meetings of the fund's shareholders. We vote any fund shares that are not attributable to policies and any fund shares for which the owner does not give us instructions in the same proportion as we vote the shares for which we did receive voting instructions. This means that instructions from a small number of shareholders can determine the outcome of a vote. There is no minimum number of shares for which we must receive instructions before we vote the shares.

We reserve the right to vote fund shares without getting instructions from policy owners if the federal securities laws, regulations or their interpretations change to allow this.

You may instruct us only on matters relating to the funds corresponding to those subaccounts in which you have invested assets as of the record date set by the fund's Board for the shareholders meeting. We determine the number of fund shares in each subaccount of your policy by dividing your variable account value in that subaccount by the net asset value of one share of the matching fund.

Select*Life II

Right to Change the Variable Account. Subject to state and federal law and the rules and regulations thereunder, we may, from time to time, make any of the following changes to our variable account with respect to some or all classes of policies:

  • Change the investment objective;
     
  • Offer additional subaccounts that will invest in funds we find appropriate for policies we issue;
     
  • Eliminate subaccounts;
     
  • Combine two or more subaccounts;
     
  • Close subaccounts. We will notify you in advance by a supplement to this prospectus if we close a subaccount. If a subaccount is closed or otherwise is unavailable for new investment, unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, all future premiums directed to the subaccount that was closed or is unavailable may be automatically allocated among the other subaccounts in which your policy value is allocated, on a proportionate basis. You may give us alternative allocation instructions by contacting our Customer Service Center. See also the Transfers section of this prospectus, page 44, for information about making subaccount allocation changes;
     
  • Substitute a new fund for a fund in which a subaccount currently invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in our judgment:
     
     
  • A fund no longer suits the purposes of your policy;
     
     
  • There is a change in laws or regulations;
     
     
  • There is a change in the fund's investment objectives or restrictions;
     
     
  • The fund is no longer available for investment; or
     
     
  • Another reason we deem a substitution is appropriate.
     
  • In the case of a substitution, the new fund may have different fees and charges than the fund it replaced;
     
  • Transfer assets related to your policy class to another separate account;
     
  • Withdraw the variable account from registration under the 1940 Act;
     
  • Operate the variable account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act;
     
  • Cause one or more subaccounts to invest in a fund other than, or in addition to, the funds currently available;
     
  • Stop selling the policy;
     
  • End any employer or plan trustee agreement with us under the agreement’s terms;
     
  • Limit or eliminate any voting rights for the variable account;
     
  • Make any changes required by the1940 Act or its rules or regulations; or
     
  • Close a subaccount to new investments.
     

    We will not make a change until it is effective with the SEC and approved by the appropriate state insurance departments, if necessary. We will notify you of changes. If you wish to transfer the amount you have in the affected subaccount to another rsubaccount or to the fixed account, you may do so free of charge. Just notify us at our Customer Service Center.

    Select*Life II 
    19


    The Fixed Account

    You may allocate all or a part of your net premium and transfer your policy value into the fixed account (except for policies issued in New Jersey). We declare the interest rate that applies to all amounts in the fixed account. This interest rate is never less than 3.00% (4.00% per year for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004). Interest compounds daily at an effective annual rate that equals the declared rate. We credit interest to the fixed account on a daily basis. We pay interest regardless of the actual investment performance of our general account. We bear all of the investment risk for the fixed account.

    Your fixed account value equals the net premium you allocate to the fixed account, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your policy value.

    The fixed account guarantees principal and is part of our general account. The general account supports our non-variable insurance and annuity obligations. We have not registered interests in the fixed account under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”). Also, we have not registered the fixed account or the general account as an investment company under the 1940 Act (because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions). This means that the general account, the fixed account and interests in it are generally not subject to regulation under these Acts.

    The SEC staff has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the general account and the fixed account. These disclosures, however, may be subject to certain requirements of the federal securities law regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made.

    DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY

    This prospectus describes our standard Select*Life II variable universal life insurance policy. The policy provides death benefits, cash values and other features of traditional life insurance contracts. There may be variations in policy features, benefits and charges because of requirements of the state where we issue your policy. We describe all such differences in your policy.

    If you would like to know about state variations, please ask your agent/registered representative. We can provide him/her with the list of variations that will apply to your policy.

    We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than the policy offered through this prospectus, and that may offer some or all of the same funds. These products have different benefits, fees and charges, and may or may not better match your needs. Please note that some of the company's management personnel and certain other employees may receive a portion of their employment compensation based on the amount of policy values allocated to funds affiliated with ING. You should be aware that there may be alternative products available, and, if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact our Customer Service Center or your agent/registered representative.

    Purchasing a Policy

    To purchase a policy you must submit an application to us. On that application you will, among other things, select:

    • The amount of your insurance coverage (which generally must be at least $50,000 ($25,000 for polices with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004));
    • Your initial death benefit option; and
    • Any riders or optional benefits.

    Additionally, on the application you will provide us with certain health and other necessary information. Upon receipt of an application, we will follow our underwriting procedures to determine whether the proposed insured person is insurable by us. Before we can make this determination, we may need to request and review medical examinations of and other information about the proposed insured person. Through our underwriting process, we also determine the risk class for the insured person if the application is accepted. Risk class is based on such factors as age, gender, health and occupation of the insured person. Risk class will impact the cost of insurance rates you will pay and may also affect premiums and other policy fees, charges and benefits.

    We reserve the right to reject an application for any reason permitted by law. If an application is rejected, any premium received will be returned without interest.

    On the date coverage under the policy begins (the “policy date”), the person on whose life we issue the policy (the “insured person”) generally can be no more than age 80. “Age” under the policy means the insured person's age as of the policy date. From time to time, we may accept an insured person who exceeds our normal maximum age limit. We will not unfairly discriminate in determining the maximum age at issue. All exceptions to our normal limits are dependent upon our ability to obtain acceptable reinsurance coverage for our risk with an older insured.

    You may request that we back-date the policy up to six months to allow the insured person to give proof of a younger age for the purposes of your policy. Except for cash on delivery policies, we generally will not reissue a policy to change the policy date.

    Important Information About the Term Insurance Rider. It may be to your economic advantage to include all or part of your insurance coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Working with your agent/registered representative, consider the factors described in the Term Insurance Rider section of this prospectus, page 36, when deciding whether to include coverage under the Term Insurance Rider and in what proportion to the total amount of coverage under your policy.

    Premium Payments

    Premium payments are flexible and you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments, within limits, including:

    • We may refuse to accept any premium less than $25;
    • You cannot pay additional premiums after age 95;
    • We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code;
    • We may refuse any premium that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code without your prior written acknowledgement accepting your policy as a modified endowment contract; and
    • We may refuse to accept any premium that does not comply with our anti-money laundering program. See Anti-Money Laundering, page 59.
    Select*Life II 
    21


    After we deduct the premium expense charge from your premium payments, we apply the remaining net premium to your policy as described below.

    A premium payment is received by us when it is received at our offices. After you have paid your minimum initial premium, we suggest you send payments directly to us, rather than through your agent/registered representative, to assure the earliest crediting date.

    Insurance coverage does not begin until we receive your minimum initial premium. The minimum initial premium is generally equal to at least the minimum premiums for the first three months. The minimum premium is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person's gender, risk class and age. Optional rider benefits have their own minimum premium rates. If you authorize premiums to be paid by electronic funds transfer, we will issue a policy upon receipt of the minimum premium for the first month and the required completed electronic funds transfer forms.

    Your policy will indicate the minimum premium that applies to you. You are not required to pay the minimum premium, but payment of the minimum premium will keep your policy in force during the Death Benefit Guarantee period. See Death Benefit Guarantee, page 34. Payment of the minimum premium may or may not be enough to keep your policy in force beyond the Death Benefit Guarantee period.

    Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage. During the Death Benefit Guarantee period, the Death Benefit Guarantee lasts only if your cumulative premium payments to the next monthly processing date, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of minimum premium payments applicable to the guarantee. If they are not and your surrender value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges, when due, then your policy will enter the 61-day grace period and you must make a sufficient premium payment to avoid lapse and loss of insurance coverage. See Lapse, page 50.

    Allocation of Net Premium. Until your initial net premium is allocated as described below, we hold premiums in a general suspense account. Premiums held in this suspense account do not earn interest.

    We apply the initial net premium to your policy after all of the following conditions have been met:

    • We receive the required initial minimum premium;
    • All issue requirements have been received by our Customer Service Center; and
    • We approve your policy for issue.

    We allocate your initial net premium according to the premium allocation instructions specified on the application in whole percentages totaling 100% on the valuation date next following the policy date.

    Select*Life II 
    22


    All net premiums we receive after the initial premium are allocated to your policy on the valuation date of receipt. We will use your most recent premium allocation instructions specified in whole percentages totaling 100%. If your most recent premium allocation instructions includes a fund that corresponds to a subaccount that is closed to new investment (we will notify you in advance by a supplement to this prospectus if we close a subaccount) or is otherwise unavailable, net premium received that would have been allocated to the subaccount corresponding to the closed or otherwise unavailable fund may be allocated among all the other available subaccounts in which your policy value is allocated, on a proportionate basis. If there are no other such subaccounts, you must provide us with alternative allocation instructions or the premium payment will be returned to you. You may give us alternative allocation instructions by contacting our Customer Service Center. Your failure to provide us with alternative allocation instructions before we and our return of your premium payment(s) may result in your policy entering the 61 day grace period and/or your policy lapsing without value. See Lapse, page 50 for more information on how to keep your policy from lapsing. See also Reinstatement, page 50, for more information about how to put your policy back in force if it has lapsed.

    Free Look Period

    You have the right to examine your policy and return to us (for any reason) within the period shown in the policy. The period during which you have this right is called the free look period. If you return your policy to us during the free look period we cancel it as of your policy date. The length of the free look period is determined by state law but generally lasts until:

    • Midnight of the twentieth day after you receive your policy;
    • Midnight of the twentieth day after a written Notice of Right of Withdrawal is mailed or delivered to you; or
    • Midnight of the forty-fifth day after the date your application for the policy is signed.

    If you cancel your policy during the free look period, you will receive a refund as determined by state law. Generally, the amount of the refund will equal the sum of all premiums we have received, although certain states may require the refund of a different amount.

    The length of the free look period and the free look refund that applies in your state will be stated in your policy.

    Temporary Insurance

    If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance in an amount equal to the amount of insurance for which you applied, up to $1 million, which includes other in-force coverage you have with us.

    Temporary insurance coverage begins when all of the following events have occurred:

    • You have completed and signed our temporary insurance coverage form;
    • We have received and accepted a premium payment of at least your minimum initial premium (selected on your application); and
    • The necessary parts of the application are complete.
    Select*Life II 
    23


    Unless otherwise provided by state law, temporary insurance coverage ends on the earliest of:

    • The date we return your premium payments;
    • Five days after we mail notice of termination to the address on your application;
    • Your policy date;
    • The date we refuse to issue a policy based on your application; or
    • 90 days after you sign our temporary life insurance coverage form.

    There is no death benefit under the temporary insurance coverage if any of the following events occurs:

    • There is a material misrepresentation in your answers on the temporary insurance coverage form;
    • There is a material misrepresentation in statements on your application;
    • The person or persons intended to be insured die by suicide or self-inflicted injury; or
    • The bank does not honor your premium check.

    During the period of temporary insurance coverage your premium payments are held by us in a general suspense account until underwriting is completed and the policy is issued or the temporary insurance coverage otherwise ends. Premiums held in this suspense account do not earn interest and they are not allocated to the investment options available under the policy until a policy is issued. See Allocation of Net Premium, page 22. If a policy is not issued and temporary insurance coverage ends, any premium received will be returned without interest.

    Fees and Charges

    We deduct fees and charges under the policy to compensate us for:

    • Providing the insurance benefits of the policy (including any rider benefits);
    • Administering the policy;
    • Assuming certain risks in connection with the policy; and
    • Incurring expenses in distributing the policy.

    The amount of a fee or charge may be more or less than the cost associated with the service or benefit. Accordingly, excess proceeds from one fee or charge may be used to make up a shortfall on another fee or charge, and we may earn a profit on one or more of these fees and charges. We may use any such profits for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, payments of sales expenses.

    Transaction Fees and Charges

    We deduct the following transaction fees and charges from your policy value each time you make certain transactions.

    Premium Expense Charge. We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment we receive. This charge is 5.00% of each premium payment and consists of a 2.50% sales charge and a 2.50% premium tax charge.

    Select*Life II 
    24


    This charge helps offset:

    • The expenses we incur in selling the policy;
    • The costs of various state and local taxes. We pay state and local taxes in almost all states. These taxes vary in amount from state to state and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction within a state; and
    • The cost associated with the federal income tax treatment of our deferred acquisition costs. This cost is determined solely by the amount of life insurance premium we receive.

    Premium Processing Charge. We may deduct a charge of up to $2 per premium payment to reimburse us for the cost of collecting and processing premiums. If imposed, this charge will be deducted from premium payments before the percentage deductions for sales charges and premium taxes. We currently do not impose this charge.

    Partial Withdrawal Fee. We deduct a partial withdrawal fee each time you take a partial withdrawal from your policy. The amount of this fee is currently $10, but we reserve the right to deduct up to $25 for each partial withdrawal. We deduct the partial withdrawal fee proportionately from your remaining fixed and variable account values.

    This fee helps offset the expenses we incur when processing a partial withdrawal.

    Surrender Charge. We deduct a surrender charge during the first 15 policy years or the first 15 years after an increase in your insurance coverage when you:

    • Surrender your policy; or
    • Allow your policy to lapse.

    The surrender charge is made up of two parts:

    • A contingent deferred administrative charge; and
    • A contingent deferred sales charge.

    The contingent deferred administrative charge is $5.00 per $1,000 of insurance coverage. The contingent deferred administrative charge remains level for the first five segment years and then decreases uniformly each month until it becomes zero at the end of the fifteenth segment year. Each coverage segment will have its own contingent deferred administrative charge which will apply only to that segment.

    The contingent deferred sales charge rates are set when you purchase a policy or increase your insurance coverage. The contingent deferred sales charge rates are based on the gender and age of the insured person. See the Transaction Fees and Charges table, page 8, for the minimum and maximum contingent deferred sales charge rates and the rates for a representative insured person. Contingent deferred sales charge rates will not exceed $46.40 per $1,000 of coverage and the rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. Each coverage segment will have its own rates which will apply only to that segment. The contingent deferred sales charge remains level for the first five segment years then decreases uniformly each month until it becomes zero at the end of the fifteenth segment year.

    In the early policy years the total surrender charge usually exceeds the policy value because the surrender charge is usually more than the cumulative minimum premiums minus policy fees and charges. Therefore, you should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

    The surrender charge helps offset the expenses we incur in selling the policy.

    Select*Life II 
    25


    In the policy form the “monthly processing date” is referred to as the “Monthly Anniversary.”

    Transfer Charge. We currently do not assess a charge for transfers between any of the investment options. We reserve the right, however, to charge up to $25 for each transfer. Transfers associated with policy loans, the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs, or the exercise of conversion rights will not count as transfers when calculating any applicable transfer charge.

    This charge helps offset the expenses we incur when processing transfers.

    Excess Illustration Fee. We currently do not assess this fee, but we reserve the right to assess a fee of up to $50 for each illustration of your policy values you request after the first each policy year.

    This fee helps offset the costs we incur when processing requests for excess illustrations.

    Excess Annual Report Fee. We currently do not assess this fee, but we reserve the right to assess a fee of up to $50 for each annual report you request after the first each policy year.

    This fee helps offset the costs we incur when processing requests for excess annual reports.

      Periodic Fees and Charges

    We deduct the following periodic fees and charges from your policy value on the monthly processing date. The monthly processing date is the same date each month as your policy date. If that date is not a valuation date, then the monthly processing date is the next valuation date.

    Cost of Insurance. The cost of insurance charge is equal to our current monthly cost of insurance rates multiplied by the net amount at risk for each segment of your insurance coverage. The net amount at risk as calculated on each monthly processing date equals the difference between:

    • Your current base death benefit, discounted to take into account one month's interest earnings at an assumed 5.00% annual interest rate; and
    • Your policy value minus the periodic fees and charges due on that date, other than cost of insurance charges.

    Monthly cost of insurance rates are based on the insured person's age at issue, gender, risk class and amount of insurance coverage on the policy date and each date you increase your insurance coverage (a “segment date”) and the policy year. They will not, however, be greater than the guaranteed cost of insurance rates shown in the policy, which are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Sex Distinct Mortality Tables. We will apply unisex rates where appropriate under the law. This currently includes the states of Massachusetts and Montana. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Periodic Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 9, for the minimum and maximum cost of insurance rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

    Separate cost of insurance rates apply to each segment of your insurance coverage and your riders. The maximum rates for the initial and each new segment of your insurance coverage will be printed in your policy schedule pages.

    Select*Life II 
    26


    The cost of insurance charge varies from month to month because of changes in your net amount at risk, changes in your death benefit and the increasing age of the insured person. The net amount at risk is affected by the same factors that affect your policy value, namely:

    • The net premium applied to your policy;
    • The fees and charges we deduct;
    • Any partial withdrawals you take;
    • Interest earnings on the amounts allocated to the fixed account;
    • Interest earned on amounts held in the loan account; and
    • The investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account.

    We calculate the net amount at risk separately for each segment of your insurance coverage.

    The cost of insurance charge compensates us for the ongoing costs of providing insurance coverage, including the expected cost of paying death proceeds that may be more than your account value.

    Administrative Charge. The monthly administrative charge for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, is currently $8.25 and is guaranteed not to exceed $12.

    The monthly administrative charge for policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, is currently $10 and is guaranteed not to exceed $10.

    The administrative charge helps compensate us for the costs associated with administering the policies.

    Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. During the first ten policy years, the monthly mortality and expense risk charge is 0.075% (0.90% annually) of your variable account value. For policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, after the tenth policy year this charge is currently 0.0375% per month (0.45% annually), guaranteed not to exceed 0.075% per month (0.90% annually). For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, after the tenth policy year this charge is eliminated.

    This charge helps compensate us for the mortality and expense risks we assume when we issue a policy. The mortality risk is that insured people, as a group, may live less time than we estimated. The expense risk is that the costs of issuing and administering the policies and operating the subaccounts of the variable account are greater than we estimated.

    Rider Fees and Charges

    There may be separate fees and charges if you add any optional rider benefits or exercise certain automatic rider benefits. For more information about rider benefits and the applicable fees and charges, see the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 11, and the Optional Rider Benefits section, page 35. See also the Transaction Fees and Charges table, page 8, and the Automatic Rider Benefits section, page 38.

    Sales Charge Refund

    We may refund a portion of the contingent deferred sales charge if you:

    • Surrender your policy during the first two policy years; or
    • Cancel an increase in your insurance coverage during the first two segment years and subsequently surrender your policy.

    This refund is referred to as the sales charge refund.

    The sales charge refund will equal the amount by which the total sales charge deducted (which consists of the 2.50% sales charge deducted as part of the premium expense charge plus the contingent deferred sales charge) exceeds:

    • 30.00% of premium payments you made during the first segment year for each coverage segment up to the surrender charge guideline premium; plus
    • 9.00% of premium payments you made that exceed your surrender charge guideline premium.

    For any coverage segment created because of an increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, a proportionate amount of the existing policy value on the effective date of the increase will be considered a premium payment made during the first segment year for that segment. Subsequent premium payments will be prorated among the coverage segments.

    The surrender charge guideline premium is based on the age and gender of the insured person and equals:

    • The initial amount of your insurance coverage or any increased coverage amount; divided by
    • 1,000; multiplied by
    • An applicable surrender charge guideline factor.

    The applicable surrender charge guideline factor(s) will vary by age and gender of the insured person and will be set forth in your policy.

    Waiver and Reduction of Fees and Charges

    We may waive or reduce any of the fees and charges under the policy, as well as the minimum amount of insurance coverage set forth in this prospectus. Any waiver or reduction will be based on expected economies that result in lower sales, administrative or mortality expenses. For example, we may expect lower expenses in connection with sales to:

    • Certain groups or sponsored arrangements (including our employees, certain family members of our employees, our affiliates and our appointed sales agents);
    • Corporate purchasers; or
    • Our policyholders or the policyholders of our affiliated companies.

    Any variation in fees and charges will be based on differences in costs or services and our rules in effect at the time. We may change our rules from time to time, but we will not unfairly discriminate in any waiver or reduction.

    Select*Life II

    Fund Fees and Expenses

    As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the Fund Fees and Expenses table on page 12 of this prospectus, each fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to the fund. In addition, each fund deducts other expenses which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the company and its affiliates, for administrative and policy owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Furthermore, certain funds may deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares. For a more complete description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review each fund’s prospectus.

    The company or its U.S. affiliates receive substantial revenue from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates, although the amount and types of revenue vary with respect to each of the funds offered through the policy. This revenue is one of several factors we consider when determining the policy fees and charges and whether to offer a fund through our policies. Fund revenue is important to the company’s profitability, and it is generally more profitable for us to offer affiliated funds than to offer unaffiliated funds.

    In terms of total dollar amounts received, the greatest amount of revenue generally comes from assets allocated to funds managed by Directed Services LLC or other company affiliates, which funds may or may not also be subadvised by another company affiliate. Assets allocated to funds managed by a company affiliate but subadvised by unaffiliated third parties generally generate the next greatest amount of revenue. Finally, assets allocated to unaffiliated funds generate the least amount of revenue. The company expects to make a profit from this revenue to the extent it exceeds the company’s expenses, including the payment of sales compensation to our distributors.

    Types of Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds. Affiliated funds are (a) funds managed by Directed Services LLC or other company affiliates, which may or may not also be subadvised by another company affiliate; and (b) funds managed by a company affiliate but that are subadvised by unaffiliated third parties.

    Revenues received by the company from affiliated funds may include:

    • A share of the management fee deducted from fund assets;
    • Service fees that are deducted from fund assets;
    • For certain share classes, the company or its affiliates may also receive compensation paid out of 12b-1 fees that are deducted from fund assets; and
    • Other revenues that may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the company or a percentage of the fund’s management fees.

    These revenues may be received as cash payments or according to a variety of financial accounting techniques that are used to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. In the case of affiliated funds subadvised by unaffiliated third parties, any sharing of the management fee between the Company and the affiliated investment adviser is based on the amount of such fee remaining after the subadvisory fee has been paid to the unaffiliated subadviser. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying amounts of revenue are retained by the affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the company.

    Select*Life II 
    29


    Types of Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds. Revenue received from each of the unaffiliated funds or their affiliates is based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the company. Some unaffiliated funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant. Revenues received by the company or its affiliates from unaffiliated funds include:

    • For certain funds, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets; and
    • Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services that we provide to the funds or their affiliates, such as processing purchase and redemption requests, and mailing fund prospectuses, periodic reports and proxy materials. These additional payments do not increase directly or indirectly the fees and expenses shown in each fund prospectus. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the policy.

    These revenues are received as cash payments, and if the three unaffiliated fund families currently offered through the policy were individually ranked according to the total amount they paid to the company or its affiliates in 2006, that ranking would be as follows:

    • Fidelity Variable Insurance Product Portfolios;
    • American Funds Insurance Series; and
    • Neuberger Berman AMT Portfolios.

    If the revenues received from affiliated funds were included in this list, payments from Directed Services LLC and other company affiliates would be at the top of the list.

    In addition to the types of revenue received from affiliated and unaffiliated funds described above, affiliated and unaffiliated funds and their investment advisers, subadvisers or affiliates may participate at their own expense in company sales conferences or educational and training meetings. In relation to such participation, a fund’s investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may make fixed dollar payments to help offset the cost of the meetings or sponsor events associated with the meetings. In exchange for these expense offset or sponsorship arrangements, the investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may receive certain benefits and access opportunities to company sales representatives and wholesalers rather than monetary benefits. These benefits and opportunities include, but are not limited to, co-branded marketing materials, targeted marketing sales opportunities, training opportunities at meetings, training modules for sales personnel, and opportunity to host due diligence meetings for representatives and wholesalers.

    Certain funds may be structured as “fund of funds”. These funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. These funds are affiliated funds, and the underlying funds in which they invest may be affiliated funds as well. The fund prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each portfolio and its corresponding underlying fund or funds. The “fund of funds” available through the policy are identified in the list of funds available through the variable account on page 17.

    Please note that certain management personnel and other employees of the company or its affiliates may receive a portion of their total employment compensation based on the amount of net assets allocated to affiliated funds. See Distribution of the Policy, page 63.

    Death Benefits

    You decide the amount of life insurance protection you need, now and in the future. Generally, we require a minimum of $50,000 ($25,000 for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004) of coverage to issue your policy. We may lower this minimum for certain group, sponsored or corporate purchasers. The amount of insurance coverage in effect on your policy date is your initial coverage segment

    It may be to your economic advantage to include part of your insurance coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. See Important Information About the Term Insurance Rider, page 37.

    Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage

    Subject to certain limitations, you may change the amount of your insurance coverage. Changing the amount of your insurance coverage will generally not be allowed until after the first policy year. We reserve the right to limit a change in the amount of your insurance coverage during the first two policy years. The change will be effective on the next monthly processing date after we receive your written request or next monthly processing date after underwriting approval (if required), whichever is later.

    There may be underwriting or other requirements that must be met before we will approve a change. After we approve your request to change the amount of insurance coverage under the policy, we will send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our Customer Service Center so that we can make this change for you.

    Increases in the amount of your insurance coverage must be at least $5,000 and may be permitted until age 80.

    A coverage segment or segment is a block of insurance coverage. A requested increase in insurance coverage will cause a new coverage segment to be created. Once we create a new segment, it is permanent unless law requires differently.

    Each new segment will have:

    • A new surrender charge and surrender charge guideline factor;
    • New cost of insurance charges, guaranteed and current;
    • A new incontestability period;
    • A new suicide exclusion period; and
    • A new minimum premium.

    In determining the net amount at risk for each coverage segment we allocate the policy value first to the initial segment and any excess to additional segments starting with the first.

    You may not decrease the amount of your insurance coverage below $50,000 ($25,000 for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004). You cannot request a decrease in the amount of your insurance coverage more frequently than once every six months. Decreases in insurance coverage on policies with multiple coverage segments will be made in the following order:

    (1)      From the most recent segment;
     
    (2)      From the next more recent segments successively; and
     
    (3)      From the initial segment.
     
    Select*Life II 
    31

    In the policy form the amount of insurance coverage you select is referred to as the “Face Amount.”


      Decreases in insurance coverage may result in:

    • A shortened Death Benefit Guarantee period if the Term Insurance Rider is attached;
    • Reduced minimum premium amounts; and
    • Reduced cost of insurance charges.

    Decreases in insurance coverage will not result in reduced surrender charges.

    We reserve the right to not approve a requested change in your insurance coverage that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, we may refuse to approve a requested change in your insurance coverage that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code without your prior written acknowledgment accepting your policy as a modified endowment contract. Decreasing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy could cause your policy to be considered a modified endowment contract. If this happens, prior and subsequent distributions from the policy (including loans) may be subject to adverse tax treatment. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before changing your amount of insurance coverage. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 53.

    Death Benefit Qualification Test

    The death benefit proceeds are generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance. Your policy will meet this definition of life insurance provided that it meets the requirements of the guideline premium test.

    The guideline premium test requires that premium payments do not exceed certain statutory limits and your death benefit is at least equal to your policy value multiplied by a factor defined by law. The guideline premium test provides for a maximum amount of premium in relation to the death benefit and a minimum amount of death benefit in relation to policy value. The factors for the guideline premium test can be found in Appendix A of this prospectus.

    Certain changes to a policy that uses the guideline premium test may allow the payment of premium in excess of the statutory limits in order to keep the policy from lapsing. In this circumstance, any such excess premium will be allocated to the fixed account in order for the policy to continue to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.

    Death Benefit Options

    There are two death benefit options available under the base policy. You choose the option you want when you apply for the policy, but you may change that choice after the second policy year.

     

    In the policy form, death benefit “Option 1” is referred to as the “Level Amount Option” or “Option A” and death

    benefit “Option 2” is referred to as the “Variable Amount Option” or “Option B.”

    Option 1. Under death benefit Option 1, before age 95 the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A. Under this option your base death benefit will remain level unless your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A exceeds the death benefit. In this case, your death benefit will vary as the policy value varies.

    Option 2. Under death benefit Option 2, before age 95 the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected plus your policy value or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A. Under this option your base death benefit will vary as the policy value varies.

    Select*Life II 32



    Unless you notify us in writing otherwise, at age 95 your policy value will automatically be applied to purchase fixed paid-up life insurance and your death benefit may change.

    See Paid-Up Life Insurance, page 49.

    Which Death Benefit Option to Choose. If you are satisfied with the amount of your existing insurance coverage and prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in the policy value and lower cost of insurance charges, you should choose Option 1. If you prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected partly in the form of an increasing death benefit, you should choose Option 2.

    Changing Death Benefit Options. After the second policy year, you may change death benefit options.

    Changing your death benefit option may reduce or increase your insurance coverage but will not change the amount of your base death benefit. We may not approve a death benefit option change if it reduces the amount of insurance coverage below the minimum we require to issue your policy. On the effective date of your option change, your insurance coverage will change as follows:

    Change From:    Change To:    Insurance Coverage Following the Change: 



    Option 1    Option 2    ·    Your insurance coverage before the 
                change minus your policy value as of the 
                effective date of the change. 

     
    Option 2    Option 1    ·    Your insurance coverage before the 
                change plus your policy value as of the 
                effective date of the change. 

    Your death benefit option change is effective on your next monthly processing date after we approve it.

    After we approve your request, we send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our Customer Service Center so that we can make this change for you.

    If a death benefit option change causes the amount of insurance coverage to change, no new coverage segment(s) is (are) created. Instead, the size of each existing segment(s) is (are) changed. If you change death benefit options, there is no change to the amount of term insurance coverage if you have added the Term Insurance Rider to your policy.

    Changing your death benefit option may have tax consequences. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before making changes.

    Death Benefit Proceeds

    After the insured person's death, if your policy is in force we pay the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are the people you name to receive the death benefit proceeds from your policy. The death benefit proceeds are equal to:

    • Your base death benefit; plus
    • The amount of any rider benefits; minus
    • Any outstanding policy loan with accrued loan interest; minus
    • Any outstanding fees and charges incurred before the insured person's death.

    The death benefit is calculated as of the insured person's death and will vary depending on the death benefit option you have chosen.

    The policy has a Death Benefit Guarantee which provides that the policy will not lapse even if the surrender value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges each month.

    In general, the two most significant benefits of the Death Benefit Guarantee are:

    • During the early policy years, the surrender value (even when supplemented by the sales charge refund) may not be enough to cover the periodic fees and charges due each month, so that the Death Benefit Guarantee may be necessary to avoid lapse of the policy. This occurs when the surrender charge exceeds the policy value in these years.
      Likewise, if you request an increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, anadditional surrender charge will apply for the 15 years following the increase, whichcould create a similar possibility of lapse as exists during the early policy years; and
    • To the extent the surrender value declines due to poor investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account or due to an additional surrender charge after a requested increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, the surrender value may not be sufficient even in later policy years to cover the periodic fees and charges due each month. Accordingly, the Death Benefit Guarantee may be necessary in later policy years to avoid lapse of the policy.

    The Death Benefit Guarantee is standard on every policy. It provides a guarantee that your policy will not lapse until the insured person reaches age 65 or for five policy years, if longer, provided your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of minimum premium payments to the next monthly processing date. The guarantee period may be shorter if your policy is rated substandard or if you have added the Term Insurance Rider to your policy. There is no charge for this guarantee.

    You should consider the following factors in relation to the Death Benefit Guarantee:

    • The amount of the minimum premium for your policy will be set forth in your policy (see Premium Payments, page 21);
    • The minimum premium for your policy is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person's gender, risk class and age;
    • Even though you may pay less than the minimum premium amount, you may lose the significant protection provided by the Death Benefit Guarantee by doing so;
    • A loan may cause the termination of this guarantee because we deduct your loan amount from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the guarantee in effect; and
    • Even if the Death Benefit Guarantee terminates, your policy will not necessarily lapse (see Lapse, page 50).

    We will notify you if on any monthly processing date you have not paid enough premium to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee. This notice will show the amount of premium required to maintain this guarantee. If we do not receive the required premium payment within 61 days from the date of our notice, the Death Benefit Guarantee will terminate.

    Except by administrative practice during the first five policy years you cannot reinstate a terminated Death Benefit Guarantee. This practice may be discontinued at any time without prior notice.

    Additional Insurance Benefits

    Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of riders:

    • Those that provide optional benefits that you must select before they are effective; and
    • Those that automatically come with the policy.

    The following information does not include all of the terms and conditions of each rider, and you should refer to the rider to fully understand its benefits and limitations. We may offer riders not listed here. Not all riders may be available under your policy. Contact your agent/registered representative for a list of riders and their availability.

    Optional Rider Benefits

    The following riders may have an additional cost, but you may cancel optional riders at any time. Adding or canceling riders may have tax consequences. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 53.

    Accidental Death Benefit Rider. The Accidental Death Benefit Rider provides an additional insurance benefit if the insured person dies from an accidental injury before age 70. You may apply for this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued. The minimum amount of coverage under this rider is $5,000. The maximum amount of coverage is $300,000, but may be less depending on the age of the insured person.

    You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Accidental Death Benefit Rider to your policy:

    • Subject to certain limits, you can increase the amount of coverage under this rider after the second policy year;
    • You can decrease the amount of coverage under this rider after the second policy year;
    • The minimum premium for this rider is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person's risk class and age;

    Additional Insured Rider. The Additional Insured Rider provides ten-year, guaranteed level premium and level term coverage on the insured person or the insured person's spouse or children. You may apply for this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued. The minimum amount of coverage under this rider is $10,000.

    You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Additional Insured Rider to your policy:

    • You cannot increase the amount of coverage under this rider after issue;
    • You can decrease the amount of coverage under this rider after the second policy year;
    • The minimum premium for this rider is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person's gender, risk class and age;

    • The policy's periodic fees and charges do not apply to coverage under this rider; and
    • This rider does not have a surrender charge.

    Additionally, before age 75 you can convert the coverage under this rider to any other whole life policy we offer at the time. No evidence of insurability will be required for the new whole life policy, and the premiums and cost of insurance charges for this new policy will be based on the insured person's age at the time of conversion.

    Children's Insurance Rider. The Children's Insurance Rider provides up to $10,000 of term life insurance coverage on the life of each of the insured person's children. You may add this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued. The maximum amount of coverage under this rider is $10,000. The minimum amount of coverage under this rider is $1,000.

    You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Children's Insurance Rider to your policy:

    • Term coverage under this rider is available to age 25 of each child (or for 25 years from the issue date of this rider, if earlier);
    • The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are different than those for the base policy (see Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 11);
    • Subject to certain limits you may increase insurance coverage under this rider; and
    • Decreases in the amount of insurance coverage under this rider are allowed, but at least six months must elapse between decreases.

    Term Insurance Rider. The Term Insurance Rider provides an additional level term insurance benefit if the insured person dies before age 95. You may apply for this rider only when you apply for the base policy and the minimum amount of coverage under this rider is $100,000. The maximum amount of coverage under this rider is no more than three times the amount of insurance coverage selected under the base policy.

    36


    You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Term Insurance Rider to your policy:

    • This rider is only available on policies dated on or after February 17, 2004;
    • You cannot increase the amount of coverage under this rider after issue;
    • You can decrease the amount of coverage under this rider after the first policy year;
    • The minimum premium for this rider is based on monthly rates that very according to the insured person's gender, risk class and age;
    • The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are generally less than those for the base policy (see Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 11);
    • The policy's periodic fees and charges do not apply to coverage under this rider;
    • This rider does not have a surrender charge; and
    • The rider will shorten the Death Benefit Guarantee period of the base policy.

    Additionally, you can transfer your coverage under this rider to your base policy without evidence of insurability anytime after the tenth policy year if your base death benefit is equal to your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A. Cost of Insurance rates for this new coverage segment will be the same as the cost of insurance rates for the initial coverage segment. No surrender charge or monthly amount charge will apply to this new coverage segment of the base policy.

    Important Information about the Term Insurance Rider

    It may be to your economic advantage to include all or part of your insurance coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Working with your agent, consider the following factors when deciding whether to include coverage under the Term Insurance Rider and in what proportion to the total amount of coverage under your policy.

    Cost of Insurance and Other Fees and Charges. The cost of insurance rates and other fees and charges affect the value of your policy. The lower the cost of insurance and other fees and charges, the greater the policy's cash value. Accordingly, please be aware that:

    • The current cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider are generally less than the current cost of insurance rates for coverage under the base policy;
    • The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider are generally more than the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for coverage under the base policy; and
    • Some policy fees and charges that apply to coverage under the base policy may not apply to coverage under the Term Insurance Rider.

    Features and Benefits. Certain features and benefits are limited or unavailable if you have Term Insurance Rider coverage, including:

    • Death Benefit Guarantees; and
    • Cost of Living Rider Benefits.

    Compensation. We generally pay more compensation to your agent on premiums paid for coverage under the base policy than we do on premiums paid for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. See Distribution of the Policy, page 63.

    Select*Life II 
    37


    With these factors in mind, you should discuss with your agent/registered representative how the use of the Term Insurance Rider will affect the costs, benefits, features and performance of your policy. You should also review illustrations based on different combinations of base policy and Term Insurance Rider coverage so that you can decide what combination best meets your needs. The foregoing discussion does not contain all of the terms and conditions or limitations of coverage under the base policy or the Term Insurance Rider, and you should read them carefully to fully understand their benefits and limitations.

    Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider. Subject to certain limits, the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider provides that the policy's periodic fees and charges are waived while the insured person is totally disabled according to the terms of the rider. You may add this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued, but it may not be added after the insured person reaches age 55.

    You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider to your policy:

    • The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are different than those for the base policy (see Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 11); and
    • If death benefit Option 1 is in effect at the end of the first six months of total disability, your death benefit option will automatically be changed to Option 2.

    Your policy may contain either the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider or the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider, but not both. Also, you may not change from one of these riders to the other after your policy is issued.

    Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. Subject to certain limits, the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider provides that a specified amount of premium will be credited to the policy each month while the insured person is totally disabled according to the terms of the rider. You may add this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued, but it may not be added after the insured person reaches age 55.

    You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider to your policy:

    • The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are different than those for the base policy (see Optional Rider Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 11); and
    • An increase in the specified premium or an increase in the amount of insurance coverage that results in an increase in specified premium, the new specified premium will be subject to underwriting approval; and
    • You may not increase your insurance coverage while benefits are being paid under the terms of this rider.

    Your policy may contain either the Waiver of Monthly Specified Premium Rider or the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider, but not both. Also, you may not change from one of these riders to the other after your policy is issued.

    Automatic Rider Benefits

    The following rider benefits may come with your policy automatically, depending on your age and/or risk class. There may be an additional charge if you choose to exercise any of these rider benefits, and exercising the benefits may have tax consequences. See Rider Fees and Charges, page 27, and Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, page 39.

    Select*Life II 
    38


    Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. Under certain circumstances, the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider allows you to accelerate benefits from the base policy that we otherwise would pay upon the insured person's death. Generally, we will provide an accelerated benefit under this rider if the insured person has a terminal illness that will result in his or her death within 12 months, as certified by a physician. The accelerated benefit may not be more than 50% of the amount that would be payable at the death of the insured person, and the accelerated benefit will first be used to pay off any outstanding policy loans and interest due. The remainder of the accelerated benefit will be paid to you in a lump sum.

    Consider the following when deciding whether to accelerate the death benefit under this rider:

    • We assess an administrative charge of up to $300 when we pay the accelerated benefit (see Transaction Fees and Charges table, page 8);
    • When we pay the accelerated benefit, we establish a lien against your policy equal to the amount of the accelerated benefit, plus the amount of the administrative charge, plus interest on the lien;
    • Any subsequent death benefit proceeds payable under the policy will first be used to repay the lien;
    • Withdrawals, loans and any other access to the policy value will be reduced by the amount of the lien;
    • Accelerating the death benefit will not affect the amount of premium payable on the policy and any premiums required to keep the policy in force that are not paid by you will be added to the lien; and
    • There may be tax consequences to requesting payment under this rider, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser for further information.

    Certain limitations and restrictions are described in the rider. Additionally, the benefit may vary by state. You should consult your agent/registered representative as to whether and to what extent the rider is available in your particular state and on any particular policy.

    Cost of Living Rider. The Cost of Living Rider provides optional increases in the amount of base insurance coverage on the life of the insured person every two years without evidence of insurability. Increases are based on increases in the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index.

    You should consider the following when deciding whether to accept a cost of living adjustment to your policy:

    • On each date the amount of insurance increases under this rider, the periodic fees and charges under the policy will increase to account for the increased costs of insurance and the increased Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider benefit, if applicable;
    • The minimum premium for the Death Benefit Guarantee will increase, unless otherwise directed, on each date the amount of insurance increases under this rider; and
    • If you choose not to accept a cost of living adjustment, this rider will automatically terminate as to future increases.

    This benefit may vary by state. You should consult your agent/registered representative as to whether and to what extent the rider is available in your particular state and on any particular policy.

    In the policy form the “policy value” is referred to as the “Accumulation Value,” the “fixed account value” is referred to as the “Fixed Accumulation Value,” and the “variable account value” is referred to as the “Variable Accumulation Value.”

    Policy Value

    Your policy value equals the sum of your fixed account, variable account and loan account values. Your policy value reflects:

    • The net premium applied to your policy;
    • The fees and charges that we deduct;
    • Any partial withdrawals you take;
    • Interest earned on amounts allocated to the fixed account;
    • The investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account; and
    • Interest earned on amounts held in the loan account.

    Fixed Account Value

    Your fixed account value equals the net premium you allocate to the fixed account, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your policy value. See The Fixed Account, page 20

    Variable Account Value

    Your variable account value equals your policy value attributable to amounts invested in the subaccounts of the variable account.

    Determining Values in the Subaccounts. The value of the amount invested in each subaccount is measured by accumulation units and accumulation unit values. The value of each subaccount is the accumulation unit value for that subaccount multiplied by the number of accumulation units you own in that subaccount. Each subaccount has a different accumulation unit value.

    The accumulation unit value is the value determined on each valuation date. The accumulation unit value of each subaccount varies with the investment performance of its underlying fund. It reflects:

    • Investment income;
    • Realized and unrealized gains and losses;
    • Fund expenses (including fund redemption fees, if applicable); and
    • Taxes, if any.

    A valuation date is a date on which a fund values its shares and the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, except for days on which valuations are suspended by the SEC. Each valuation date ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. We reserve the right to revise the definition of valuation date as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

    You purchase accumulation units when you allocate premium or make transfers to a subaccount, including transfers from the loan account.

    Select*Life II 
    40


    We redeem accumulation units:

    • When amounts are transferred from a subaccount (including transfers to the loan account);
    • For the monthly deduction of the periodic fees and charges from your variable account value;
    • For policy transaction fees;
    • When you take a partial withdrawal;
    • If you surrender your policy; and
    • To pay the death benefit proceeds.

    To calculate the number of accumulation units purchased or sold we divide the dollar amount of your transaction by the accumulation unit value for the subaccount calculated at the close of business on the valuation date of the transaction.

    The date of a transaction is the date we receive your premium or transaction request at our Customer Service Center, so long as the date of receipt is a valuation date. We use the accumulation unit value that is next calculated after we receive your premium or transaction request and we use the number of accumulation units attributable to your policy on the date of receipt.

    We deduct the periodic fees and charges each month from your variable account value on the monthly processing date. If your monthly processing date is not a valuation date, the monthly deduction is processed on the next valuation date.

    The value of amounts allocated to the subaccounts goes up or down depending on the investment performance of the corresponding funds. There is no guaranteed minimum value of amounts invested in the subaccounts of the variable account.

    How We Calculate Accumulation Unit Values. We determine the accumulation unit value for each subaccount on each valuation date.

    We generally set the accumulation unit value for a subaccount at $10 when the subaccount is first opened. After that, the accumulation unit value on any valuation date is:

    • The accumulation unit value for the preceding valuation date; multiplied by
    • The subaccount's accumulation experience factor for the valuation period.

    Every valuation period begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on a valuation date and ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next valuation date. We reserve the right to revise the definition of valuation date as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

    We calculate an accumulation experience factor for each subaccount every valuation date as follows:

    • We take the net asset value of the underlying fund shares as reported to us by the fund managers as of the close of business on that valuation date;
    • We add dividends or capital gain distributions declared and reinvested by the fund during the current valuation period;
    • We subtract a charge for taxes, if applicable; and
    • We divide the resulting amount by the net asset value of the shares of the underlying fund at the close of business on the previous valuation date.

    In the policy form the “loan account value” is referred to as the “Loan Amount.”

    Loan Account Value

    When you take a loan from your policy we transfer your loan amount to the loan account as collateral for your loan. Your loan amount includes interest payable in advance to the next policy anniversary. The loan account is part of our general account and we charge interest on amounts held in the loan account. Your loan account value is equal to your outstanding loan amount plus any interest credited on the loan account value. See Loans, page 42.

    Special Features and Benefits

    Loans

    You may borrow money from us by using your policy as collateral for the loan. We reserve the right to limit borrowing during the first policy year. Unless state law requires otherwise, a new loan amount must be at least $500, and the amount you may borrow is limited to 90% (75% for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004) of the surrender value of your policy. After age 65, we currently allow you to borrow 100% of the surrender value. If your policy is in force as paid-up life insurance, the amount you may borrow is limited to the surrender value as of the next policy anniversary.

    When you take a loan, we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the loan account. The loan account is part of our general account specifically designed to hold collateral for policy loans and interest.

    Your loan request must be directed to our Customer Service Center. When you request a loan you may specify the investment options from which the loan collateral will be taken. If you do not specify the investment options, the loan collateral will be taken proportionately from each active investment option you have, including the fixed account.

    If you request an additional loan, we add the new loan amount to your existing loan. This way, there is only one loan outstanding on your policy at any time.

    Loan Interest. We credit amounts held in the loan account with interest. For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, we credit interest at a current annual rate of 3.00% (guaranteed not to be less than 3.00%) . For policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, the current annual interest rate is 5.50% (guaranteed not to be less than 4.00%) . Interest we credit is allocated to the subaccounts and fixed account in the same proportion as your current premium allocation unless you tell us otherwise.

    We also charge interest on loans. Interest is payable in advance and for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, the annual interest rate charged is 7.40% . For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, the annual interest rate charged is 4.76% .

    After the tenth policy year, the annual interest rate that we charge will be reduced for that portion of the loan amount that is not greater than:

    • Your variable account value plus your fixed account value; minus
    • The sum of all premiums paid minus all partial withdrawals.
    Select*Life II 
    42


    Loans with this reduced interest rate are preferred loans. For policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, the reduced annual interest rate may change at any time but is guaranteed not to exceed 5.21% . For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, the reduced annual interest rate charged is currently 2.91% but is guaranteed not to exceed 3.38% .

    Interest is payable in advance at the time you take any loan (for the rest of the policy year) and at the beginning of each policy year thereafter (for the entire policy year). If you do not pay the interest when it is due, we add it to your loan account balance.

    We will refund to you any interest we have not earned if:

    • Your policy lapses;
    • You surrender your policy; or
    • You repay your loan.

    Loan Repayment. You may repay your loan at any time before the insured person's age 95. However, unless you tell us otherwise we will treat amounts received as premium payments and not loan repayments. You must tell us if you want a premium payment to go towards repaying your loan.

    When you make a loan repayment, we transfer an amount equal to your payment from the loan account to the subaccounts and fixed account in the same proportion as your current premium allocation, unless you tell us otherwise.

    Effects of a Policy Loan. Using your policy as collateral for a loan will effect your policy in various ways. You should carefully consider the following before taking a policy loan:

    • If you do not make loan repayments your policy could lapse because your surrender value may not be enough to pay your fees and charges each month;
    • A loan may cause the termination of the Death Benefit Guarantee because we deduct your loan amount from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the Death Benefit Guarantee in effect;
    • Taking a loan reduces your opportunity to participate in the investment performance of the subaccounts and the interest guarantees of the fixed account;
    • Accruing loan interest will change your policy value as compared to what it would have been if you did not take a loan;
    • Even if you repay your loan, it will have a permanent effect on your policy value;
    • If you do not repay your loan we will deduct any outstanding loan account value from amounts payable under the policy; and
    • Loans may have tax consequences and if your policy lapses with a loan outstanding, you may have further tax consequences. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 52.

    Transfers

    You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers of your variable account value between the subaccounts and to the fixed account. (Transfers to or from the fixed account are not available for policies issued in New Jersey.) Transfers are subject to any conditions or limits that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose, including:

    • You may generally not make transfers until after the fifteenth day following your policy date (see Allocation of Net Premium, page 22);
    • We reserve the right to limit you to four transfers each policy year;
    • Although we currently do not impose a charge for transfers, we reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each transfer; and
    • We may impose the transfer charge, limit the number of transfers each policy year, restrict or refuse transfers because of frequent or disruptive transfers, as described below.

    Any conditions or limits we impose on transfers between the subaccounts or to the fixed account will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different conditions or limits on policy owners or third parties acting on behalf of policy owners, such as market timing services, who violate our excessive trading policy. See Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers page 45 .

    Transfers from the fixed account to the subaccounts of the variable account are subject to the following additional restrictions:

    • Only one transfer is permitted each policy year, and you may only make this transfer within 30 days of the anniversary of your policy date;
    • You may only transfer up to 50% of your fixed account value unless the balance, after the transfer, would be less than $1,000 in which event you may transfer your full fixed account value; and
    • Your transfer must be at least the lesser of $500 or your total fixed account value.

    We reserve the right to liberalize these restrictions on transfers from the fixed account, depending on market conditions. Any such liberalization will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different restrictions on third parties acting on behalf of policy owners, such as market timing services.

    We process all transfers and determine all values in connection with transfers on the valuation date we receive your request in good order except as described below for the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs.

    Dollar Cost Averaging. Anytime your policy value less the loan account value is at least $5,000 and the amount of your insurance coverage is at least $100,000 you may elect dollar cost averaging.

    Dollar cost averaging is a long-term investment program through which you direct us to automatically transfer at regular intervals a specific dollar amount from any of the subaccounts to one or more of the other subaccounts or to the fixed account. We do not permit transfers from the fixed account under this program. You may request that the dollar cost averaging transfers occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. You may discontinue this program at any time. Although we currently do not charge for this feature, we reserve the right to impose a charge in the future.

    Select*Life II 
    44


    This systematic plan of transferring policy values is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund's shares is high. It also helps reduce the risk of investing too little when the price of a fund's shares is low. Because you transfer the same dollar amount to the subaccounts each period, you purchase more units when the unit value is low and you purchase fewer units when the unit value is high.

    Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

    You may discontinue your dollar cost averaging program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and dollar cost averaging will automatically terminate if:

    • We receive a request to begin an automatic rebalancing program;
    • The policy is in the grace period on any date when dollar cost averaging transfers are scheduled; or
    • The specified transfer amount from any subaccount is more than the variable account value in that subaccount.

    Automatic Rebalancing. Anytime your policy value less the loan account value is at least $10,000 and the amount of your insurance coverage is at least $200,000 you may elect automatic rebalancing. Automatic rebalancing is a program for simplifying the process of asset allocation and maintaining a consistent allocation of your variable and fixed account values among your chosen investment options. Although we currently do not charge for this feature, we reserve the right to impose a charge in the future.

    If you elect automatic rebalancing, we periodically transfer amounts among the investment options to match the asset allocation percentages you have chosen. This action rebalances the amounts in the investment options that do not match your set allocation percentages. This mismatch can happen if an investment option outperforms another investment option over the time period between automatic rebalancing transfers.

    Automatic rebalancing does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

    You may discontinue your automatic rebalancing program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and automatic rebalancing will automatically terminate if:

    • We receive a request to transfer policy values among the investment options;
    • We receive a request to begin a dollar cost averaging program;
    • The policy is in the grace period on any date when automatic rebalancing transfers are scheduled; or
    • The sum of your variable and fixed account values is less than $7,500 on any date when automatic rebalancing transfers are scheduled.

    Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers

    The policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt management of a fund and raise its expenses through:

    • Increased trading and transaction costs;
    • Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;
    • Lost opportunity costs; and
    • Large asset swings that decrease the fund's ability to provide maximum investment return to all policy owners.
    Select*Life II 
    45


    This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase the policy.

    We have an excessive trading policy and monitor transfer activity. You will violate our excessive trading policy if your transfer activity:

    • Exceeds our current definition of excessive trading, as defined below;
    • Is identified as problematic by an underlying fund (even if the activity does not exceed our monitoring standard for excessive trading);
    • Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive due to the excessive dollar amounts involved; or
    • Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be not in the best interests of other policy owners.

    If we determine that you have violated our excessive trading policy, we will take the following actions. Upon the first violation, we will send to you a one time warning letter. After a second violation we will suspend your transfer privileges via facsimile, telephone, email and the internet, and your transfer privileges will be limited to submission by regular U.S. mail for a period of six months. Our suspension of your electronic transfer privileges will relate to all transfers, not just those fund(s) involved in the excessive transfer activity, and will extend to other company variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts that you own. It may be extended to other variable policies and contracts that are issued to you by our affiliates. At the end of the six month suspension period, your electronic transfer privileges will be reinstated. If, however, you violate our excessive trading policy again, after your electronic transfer privileges have been reinstated, we will suspend your electronic transfer privileges permanently. We will notify you in writing if we take any of these actions.

    Additionally, if we determine that our excessive trading policy has been violated by a market-timing organization or an individual or other party that is authorized to give transfer instructions on your behalf, whether such violation relates to your policy or another owner’s variable policy or contract, we will also take the following actions, without prior notice:

    • Not accept transfer instructions from that organization, individual or other party; and
    • Not accept preauthorized transfer forms from market timing organizations, individuals or other parties acting on behalf of more than one policy owner at a time.

    Our current definition of excessive trading is more than one purchase and sale of the same underlying fund within a 30-day period. We do not count transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs (including reoccurring rebalancing transactions under corporate owned policies) and transfers involving certain de minimis amounts when determining whether transfer activity is excessive.

    Except as noted below with respect to Paul M. Prusky, the company does not allow exceptions to our excessive trading policy. We reserve the right to modify our excessive trading policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of policy owners and fund investors and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all policy owners or, as applicable, to all policy owners investing in the underlying fund.

    Our excessive trading policy may not be completely successful in preventing market timing or excessive trading activity. If it is not completely successful fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted above.

    Since late 2003, we have been engaged in litigation with Paul M. Prusky (“Prusky”), and others, regarding a 1998 agreement between Prusky and ReliaStar. Under the agreement, Prusky, through a profit-sharing plan, engaged in frequent electronic trading between subaccounts available through certain ReliaStar variable life insurance policies (“market timing”). Beginning in late 2003, ReliaStar refused to accept electronic trading instructions from Prusky because of violations of our excessive trading policy.

    On January 5, 2007, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the “Federal Court”) ordered ReliaStar to accept and effect Prusky’s subaccount transfer instructions electronically “without limitation as to the number of transfer instructions so long as those transfers are not explicitly barred by a specific condition imposed by the fund in which the subaccount is invested.” (Order Granting in Part Summary Judgment, Paul M. Prusky, et.al v. ReliaStar Life Insurance Company, Civil Action No. 03-6196, Jan. 5, 2007, and Order Denying Defendant’s Motion for Clarification, dated January 12, 2007 (“Order”)). ReliaStar is considering its legal options in light of the Order; however, in the meantime, ReliaStar must accept and effect Prusky’s electronic transfer instructions.

    When issuing the Order, the Federal Court did state that the ReliaStar variable life insurance policies owned by Prusky allow ReliaStar to enforce conditions on trading imposed by the funds in which the ReliaStar subaccounts invest. (Memorandum Accompanying the Order, at pp.9-10.) ReliaStar will enforce all fund-imposed conditions on trading consistent with the Order. Prusky’s ReliaStar policies include subaccounts which invest in all the same funds as are available through this policy. The prospectus for each fund describes restrictions imposed by the fund to prevent or minimize frequent trading.

    The Company Intends to Modify its Excessive Trading Policy in October 2007. At that time, the company will begin restricting electronic transfers privileges if a policy owner (1) requests two purchases and subsequent sales of the same fund in a 60 calendar day period; or (2) requests six purchases and subsequent sales of the same fund within a twelve month period. We may change these planned modifications before they are implemented.

    The company intends to notify policy owners before we implement these changes; however, failure to provide this notice will not prevent the company from implementing these or any other changes to our excessive trading policy.

    Limits Imposed by the Funds. Most underlying funds have their own excessive trading policies, and orders for the purchase of a fund’s shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right to reject, without prior notice, any allocation or transfer to a subaccount if the corresponding fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason.

    Agreements to Share Information with Funds. As required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, the company has entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose funds are offered through the policy. Policy owner trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund companies to monitor fund trading and the company’s excessive trading policy. Under these agreements, the company is required to share information regarding policy owner transactions, including but not limited to information regarding fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about policy owner transactions, this information may include personal policy owner information, including names and social security numbers or other tax identification numbers.

    Select*Life II 
    47


    As a result of this information sharing, a fund company may direct us to restrict a policy owner’s transactions if the fund determines that the policy owner has violated the fund's trading policies. This could include the fund directing us to reject any allocations of premium or policy value to the fund.

    Conversion to a Guaranteed Policy. During the first two policy years and the first two years after an increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, you may permanently convert your policy or the requested increase in insurance coverage to a guaranteed policy, unless state law requires differently. If you elect to make this change, unless state law requires that we issue to you a new guaranteed policy, we will permanently transfer the amounts you have invested in the subaccounts of the variable account to the fixed account and allocate all future net premium to the fixed account. After you exercise this right you may not allocate future premium payments or make transfers to the subaccounts of the variable account. We do not charge for this change. Contact our Customer Service Center or your agent/registered representative for information about the conversion rights available in your state.

    Partial Withdrawals

    Beginning in the second policy year you may withdraw part of your policy's surrender value. For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, 12 partial withdrawals are allowed each policy year after the tenth policy year. A partial withdrawal must be at least $500. In policy years two through 15 you may not withdraw more than 20% of your surrender value.

    We currently charge $10 for each partial withdrawal, but we reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each partial withdrawal. See Partial Withdrawal Fee, page 25.

    Unless you specify a different allocation, we will take partial withdrawals from the fixed account and the subaccounts of the variable account in the same proportion that your value in each has to your policy value on the monthly processing date. We will determine these proportions at the end of the valuation period during which we receive your partial withdrawal request. For purposes of determining these proportions, we will not include any outstanding loan account value.

    Unless you request otherwise, proceeds from a partial withdrawal generally will be paid into an interest bearing account that you can access, without penalty, through a checkbook feature. See Transaction Processing, page 60.

    Effects of a Partial Withdrawal. We will reduce the policy value by the amount of a partial withdrawal. We will also reduce the death benefit by an amount equal to the factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A multiplied by the amount of the partial withdrawal. A partial withdrawal may also cause the termination of the Death Benefit Guarantee because we deduct the amount of the partial withdrawal from the total premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums in order to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee.

    If death benefit Option 1 is in effect, we will decrease the amount of insurance coverage by the amount of a partial withdrawal. Decreases in insurance coverage on policies with multiple coverage segments will be made in the following order:

    (1)      From the most recent segment;
     
    (2)      From the next more recent segments successively; and
     
    (3)      From the initial segment.
     

    Therefore, partial withdrawals may affect the way in which the cost of insurance is calculated and the amount of pure insurance protection under the policy. See Cost of Insurance, page 26.

    Select*Life II 
    48


    If death benefit Option 2 is in effect, a partial withdrawal will not affect the amount of insurance coverage.

    We will not allow a partial withdrawal if the amount of insurance coverage after the withdrawal would be less than $50,000 ($25,000 for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004).

    A partial withdrawal may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances of such withdrawal. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 51.

    Paid-Up Life Insurance

    You may elect, at any time before the insured person's age 95, to apply the surrender value to purchase fixed paid up life insurance. However, if the insured is alive at age 95, the surrender value will, unless we are notified in writing otherwise, be automatically applied to purchase fixed paid-up life insurance. The amount by which any paid up insurance will exceed the surrender value cannot be greater than the amount by which the death benefit exceeds the policy value. Any surrender value not used to purchase paid-up life insurance will be paid to you in cash and treated as a partial distribution for federal income tax purposes.

    If your policy is continued in force as fixed paid-up life insurance:

    • The surrender value is transferred to the fixed account;
    • You cannot pay additional premiums;
    • You cannot take any partial withdrawals; and
    • We will not deduct any further periodic fees and charges.

    Applying your policy's surrender value to purchase paid up insurance may have tax consequences. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 51.

    Termination of Coverage

    Your insurance coverage will continue under the policy until you surrender your policy or it lapses.

    Surrender

    You may surrender your policy for its surrender value any time after the free look period while the insured person is alive. Your surrender value is your policy value minus any surrender charge, loan amount and unpaid fees and charges.

    You may take your surrender value in other than one payment.

    We compute your surrender value as of the valuation date we receive your written surrender request and policy at our Customer Service Center. All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive in good order your surrender request and policy.

    Unless you request otherwise, we will deposit your surrender value into an interest bearing account that you can access, without penalty, through a checkbook feature. See Transaction Processing, page 60.

    Surrender of your policy may have adverse tax consequences. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 52.

    Select*Life II 
    49

    In the policy form the “surrender value” is referred to as the “Cash Surrender Value.”


    Lapse

    Your policy will not lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy will continue if on any monthly processing date:

    • The Death Benefit Guarantee is in effect; or
    • Your surrender value is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due.

    Grace Period. If on a monthly processing date you do not meet either of these conditions, your policy will enter the 61-day grace period during which you must make a sufficient premium payment to avoid having your policy lapse and insurance coverage terminate.

    We will notify you that your policy is in a grace period at least 30 days before it ends. We will send this notice to you (and a person to whom you have assigned your policy) at your last known address in our records. We will notify you of the premium payment necessary to prevent your policy from lapsing. This amount generally equals the past due charges, plus the estimated periodic fees and charges and charges of any optional rider benefits for the next two months. If we receive payment of the required amount before the end of the grace period, we apply it to your policy in the same manner as your other premium payments, then we deduct the overdue amounts from your policy value.

    If you do not pay the full amount within the 61-day grace period, your policy and its riders will lapse without value. We withdraw your remaining variable and fixed account values, deduct amounts you owe us and inform you that your coverage has ended.

    If the insured person dies during the grace period, we do pay death benefit proceeds to your beneficiaries with reductions for your loan amount and periodic fees and charges owed.

    During the early policy years your surrender value (even when supplemented by the sales charge refund) will generally not be enough to cover the periodic fees and charges each month, and you will generally need to pay at least the minimum premium amount (to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee) for the policy not to lapse.

    If your policy lapses, any distribution of policy value may be subject to current taxation.

    See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 52.

    Reinstatement

    Reinstatement means putting a lapsed policy back in force. You may reinstate a lapsed policy by written request any time within five years after it has lapsed. A policy that was surrendered may not be reinstated.

    To reinstate the policy and any riders, you must submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and pay a premium large enough to keep the policy and any rider benefits in force for at least two months. If you had a policy loan existing when coverage lapsed, we will reinstate it with accrued loan interest to the date of the lapse.

    A lapsed Death Benefit Guarantee cannot, unless otherwise allowed under state law, be reinstated after the fifth policy year.

    Select*Life II 
    50


    A policy that lapses during a seven pay testing period and is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing may be classified as a modified endowment contract for tax purposes. In general, a seven pay testing period is the first seven policy years and the first seven years after certain changes to your policy. You should consult with a qualified adviser to determine whether reinstating a lapsed policy will cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 53.

      TAX CONSIDERATIONS

    The following summary provides a general description of the federal income tax considerations associated with the policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover federal estate, gift and generation-skipping tax implications, state and local taxes or other tax situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice. Counsel or other qualified tax advisers should be consulted for more complete information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present federal income tax laws. No representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of the present federal income tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).

    The following discussion generally assumes that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.

    Tax Status of the Company

    We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. The variable account is not a separate entity from us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a “regulated investment company,” but is taxed as part of the company. We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the separate account to increase reserves under the policy. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will not be taxed to us. In addition, any foreign tax credits attributable to the separate account will first be used to reduce any income taxes imposed on the variable account before being used by the company.

    In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the variable account and we do not intend to make provisions for any such taxes. However, if changes in the federal tax laws or their interpretation result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the variable account, then we may impose a charge against the variable account (with respect to some or all of the policies) to set aside provisions to pay such taxes.

    Tax Status of the Policy

    This policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code. All terms and provisions of the policy shall be construed in a manner that is consistent with that design. In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a policy must satisfy certain requirements that are set forth in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, the policy must meet the requirements of the guideline premium test. See Death Benefit Qualification Test, page 32. If your variable life policy does not satisfy this test, it will not be treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. While there is very little guidance as to how these requirements are applied, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that our policies satisfy the applicable requirements. If it is subsequently determined that a policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements, we will take appropriate and reasonable

    Select*Life II 
    51


    steps to bring the policy into compliance with such requirements and we reserve the right to restrict policy transactions or modify your policy in order to do so. See Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits, page 52.

    Diversification and Investor Control Requirements

    In addition to meeting the Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 guideline premium test, Internal Revenue Code Section 817(h) requires investments within a separate account, such as our variable account, to be adequately diversified. The Treasury has issued regulations that set the standards for measuring the adequacy of any diversification, and the Internal Revenue Service has published various revenue rulings and private letter rulings addressing diversification issues. To be adequately diversified, each subaccount and its corresponding fund must meet certain tests. If these tests are not met, your variable life policy will not be adequately diversified and not treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. Each subaccount's corresponding fund has represented that it will meet the diversification standards that apply to your policy. Accordingly, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that the diversification requirements have been satisfied. If it is determined, however, that your variable life policy does not satisfy the applicable diversification regulations, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring your policy into compliance with such regulations and we reserve the right to modify your policy as necessary in order to do so.

    In certain circumstances, owners of a variable life insurance policy have been considered, for federal income tax purposes, to be the owners of the assets of the separate account supporting their policies, due to their ability to exercise investment control over such assets. When this is the case, the policy owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the separate account assets. Your ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in some ways from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it determined that policy owners are not owners of separate account assets. For example, you have additional flexibility in allocating your premium payments and your policy values. These differences could result in the IRS treating you as the owner of a pro rata share of the variable account assets. We do not know what standards will be set forth in the future, if any, in Treasury regulations or rulings. We reserve the right to modify your policy, as necessary, to try to prevent you from being considered the owner of a pro rata share of the variable account assets, or to otherwise qualify your policy for favorable tax treatment.

    Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits

    The death benefit, or an accelerated death benefit, under a policy is generally excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary(ies) under Section 101(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, there are exceptions to this general rule. Additionally, federal, state and local transfer, estate, inheritance and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary(ies). A qualified tax adviser should be consulted about these consequences.

    Distributions Other than Death Benefits

    Generally, the policy owner will not be taxed on any of the policy value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a policy occur, or when loan amounts are taken from or secured by a policy, the tax consequences depend on whether or not the policy is a “modified endowment contract.”

    Select*Life II 
    52


    Modified Endowment Contracts

    Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified as “modified endowment contracts” and are given less favorable tax treatment than other life insurance contracts. Due to the flexibility of the policies as to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each policy will determine whether or not it is classified as a modified endowment contract. The rules are too complex to be summarized here, but generally depend on the amount of premiums we receive during the first seven policy years. Certain changes in a policy after it is issued, such as reduction or increase in benefits or policy reinstatement, could also cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract or increase the period during which the policy must be tested. A current or prospective policy owner should consult with a qualified adviser to determine whether or not a policy transaction will cause the policy to be classified as a modified endowment contract.

    If a policy becomes a modified endowment contract, distributions that occur during the policy year will be taxed as distributions from a modified endowment contract. In addition, distributions from a policy within two years before it becomes a modified endowment contract will be taxed in this manner. This means that a distribution made from a policy that is not a modified endowment contract could later become taxable as a distribution from a modified endowment contract.

    Additionally, all modified endowment contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same policy owner during any calendar year are treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in the policy owner's income when a taxable distribution occurs.

    Once a policy is classified as a modified endowment contract, the following tax rules apply both prospectively and to any distributions made in the prior two years:

    • All distributions other than death benefits, including distributions upon surrender and withdrawals, from a modified endowment contract will be treated first as distributions of gain, if any, taxable as ordinary income. Amounts will be treated as tax-free recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed. The amount of gain in the policy will be equal to the difference between the policy's value determined without regard to any surrender charges, and the investment in the policy;
    • Loan amounts taken from or secured by a policy classified as a modified endowment contract, and also assignments or pledges of such a policy (or agreements to assign or pledge such a policy), are treated first as distributions of gain, if any, taxable as ordinary income. Amounts will be treated as tax-free recovery of the policy owner’s investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed; and
    • A 10% additional income tax penalty may be imposed on the distribution amount subject to income tax. This tax penalty generally does not apply to distributions (1) made on or after the date on which the taxpayer attains age 59½; (b) that are attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code); or (c) that are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary. Consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not you may be subject to this penalty tax.
    Select*Life II 
    53


    Policies That Are Not Modified Endowment Contracts

    Distributions other than death benefits from a policy that is not classified as a modified endowment contract are generally treated first as a recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy. Only after the recovery of all investment in the policy is there taxable income. However, certain distributions made in connection with policy benefit reductions during the first 15 policy years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax. Consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not any distributions made in connection with a reduction in policy benefits will be subject to tax.

    Loan amounts from or secured by a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are generally not taxed as distributions. However, the tax consequences of such a loan that is outstanding after policy year ten are uncertain and a qualified tax adviser should be consulted about such loans. Finally, neither distributions from, nor loan amounts from or secured by, a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are subject to the 10% additional income tax.

    Investment in the Policy

    Your investment in the policy is generally the total of your aggregate premiums. When a distribution is taken from the policy, your investment in the policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax free.

      Other Tax Matters

    Policy Loans

    In general, interest on a policy loan will not be deductible. A limited exception to this rule exists for certain interest paid in connection with certain “key person” insurance. You should consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether you qualify under this exception.

    Moreover, the tax consequences associated with a preferred loan (preferred loans are loans where the interest rate charged is less than or equal to the interest rate credited) available in the policy are uncertain. Before taking out a policy loan, you should consult a qualified tax adviser as to the tax consequences.

    If a loan from a policy is outstanding when the policy other than a modified endowment contract is surrendered or lapses, then the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be added to the amount treated as a distribution from the policy and will be taxed accordingly.

      Accelerated Death Benefit Rider

    We believe that payments under the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider should be fully excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary if the beneficiary is the insured under the policy, or is an individual who has no business or financial connection with the insured. (See Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, page 39, for more information about this rider.) However, you should consult a qualified tax adviser about the consequences of adding this rider to a policy or requesting payment under this rider.

    Select*Life II 
    54


    Continuation of a Policy

    The tax consequences of continuing the policy after the insured person reaches age 100 are unclear. For example, in certain situations it is possible that after the insured person reaches age 100, the IRS could treat you as being in constructive receipt of the policy value if the policy value becomes equal to the death benefit. If this happens, an amount equal to the excess of the policy value over the investment in the policy would be includible in your income at that time. Because we believe the policy will continue to constitute life insurance at that time and the IRS has not issued any guidance on this issue, we do not intend to tax report any earnings due to the possibility of constructive receipt in this circumstance. You should consult a qualified tax adviser if you intend to keep the policy in force after the insured person reaches age 100.

    Section 1035 Exchanges

    Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 provides, in certain circumstances, that no gain or loss will be recognized on the exchange of one life insurance policy solely for another life insurance policy or an endowment, annuity or qualified long term care contract. Special rules and procedures apply to Section 1035 exchanges. These rules can be complex, and if you wish to take advantage of Section 1035, you should consult your qualified tax adviser.

    Tax-exempt Policy Owners

    Special rules may apply to a policy that is owned by a tax-exempt entity. Tax-exempt entities should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the consequences of purchasing and owning a policy. These consequences could include an effect on the tax-exempt status of the entity and the possibility of the unrelated business income tax.

    Tax Law Changes

    Although the likelihood of legislative action or tax reform is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or other means. It is also possible that any change may be retroactive (that is, effective before the date of the change). You should consult a qualified tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

    Policy Changes to Comply with the Law

    So that your policy continues to qualify as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code, we reserve the right to refuse to accept all or part of your premium payments or to change your death benefit. We may refuse to allow you to make partial withdrawals that would cause your policy to fail to qualify as life insurance. We also may make changes to your policy or its riders or make distributions from your policy to the degree that we deem necessary to qualify your policy as life insurance for tax purposes.

    If we make any change of this type, it applies the same way to all affected policies.

    Any increase in your death benefit will cause an increase in your cost of insurance charges.

    Select*Life II 
    55


    Policy Availability and Qualified Plans

    The policy is not available for sale to and cannot be acquired with funds that are assets of (i) an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and that is subject to Title I of ERISA; (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code; or (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of the investment by an employee benefit plan or other plan in such entity within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3 -101 or otherwise.

    Policy owners may use the policy in various other arrangements, including:

    • Non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans;
    • Split dollar insurance plans;
    • Executive bonus plans;
    • Retiree medical benefit plans; and
    • Other plans.

    The tax consequences of these plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each arrangement. If you want to use your policy with any of these various arrangements, you should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the tax issues of your particular arrangement.

    Life Insurance Owned by Businesses

    In recent years, Congress has adopted new rules relating to life insurance owned by businesses. For example, in the case of a policy issued to a nonnatural taxpayer, or held for the benefit of such an entity, a portion of the taxpayer's otherwise deductible interest expenses may not be deductible as a result of ownership of a policy even if no loans are taken under the policy. (An exception to this rule is provided for certain life insurance contracts that cover the life of an individual who is a 20% owner, or an officer, director, or employee of a trade or business.) In addition, in certain instances, a portion of the death benefit payable under an employer-owned policy may be taxable. As another example, special rules apply if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new policy or a change in an existing policy should consult a qualified tax adviser.

    Income Tax Withholding

    The IRS requires us to withhold income taxes from any portion of the amounts individuals receive in a taxable transaction. We generally do not withhold income taxes if you elect in writing not to have withholding apply. If the amount withheld for you is insufficient to cover income taxes, you will have to pay additional income taxes and possibly penalties later. We will also report to the IRS the amount of any taxable distributions.

    56


    Policy Transfers

    The transfer of the policy or designation of a beneficiary may have federal, state and/or local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes. The individual situation of each policy owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which federal, state and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation skipping and other taxes.

    You should consult qualified legal or tax advisers for complete information on federal, state, local and other tax considerations.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    General Policy Provisions

    Your Policy

    The policy is a contract between you and us and is the combination of:

    • Your policy;
    • A copy of your original application and applications for benefit increases or decreases;
    • Your riders;
    • Your endorsements;
    • Your policy schedule pages; and
    • Your reinstatement applications.

    If you make a change to your coverage, we give you a copy of your changed application and new policy schedules. If you send your policy to us, we attach these items to your policy and return it to you. Otherwise, you need to attach them to your policy.

    Unless there is fraud, we consider all statements made in an application to be representations and not guarantees. We use no statement to deny a claim, unless it is in an application.

    A president or other officer of our company and our secretary or assistant secretary must sign all changes or amendments to your policy. No other person may change its terms or conditions.

      Age

    We issue your policy at the insured person's age (stated in your policy schedule) based on the last birthday as of the policy date. On the policy date, the insured person can generally be no more than age 80.

    We often use age to calculate rates, charges and values. We determine the insured person's age at a given time by adding the number of completed policy years to the age calculated at issue and shown in the schedule.

    Select*Life II 
    57


    In the policy form the “policy date” is referred to as the “Issue Date.”

    Ownership

    The original owner is the person named as the owner in the policy application. The owner can exercise all rights and receive benefits during the life of the insured person. These rights include the right to change the owner, beneficiaries or the method designated to pay death benefit proceeds.

    As a matter of law, all rights of ownership are limited by the rights of any person who has been assigned rights under the policy and any irrevocable beneficiaries.

    You may name a new owner by giving us written notice. The effective date of the change to the new owner is the date the prior owner signs the notice. However, we will not be liable for any action we take before a change is recorded at our Customer Service Center. A change in ownership may cause the prior owner to recognize taxable income on gain under the policy.

    Beneficiaries

    You, as owner, name the beneficiaries when you apply for your policy. The primary beneficiaries who survive the insured person receive the death benefit proceeds. Other surviving beneficiaries receive death benefit proceeds only if there is no surviving primary beneficiaries. If more than one beneficiary survives the insured person, they share the death benefit proceeds equally, unless you specify otherwise. If none of your policy beneficiaries has survived the insured person, we pay the death benefit proceeds to you or to your estate, as owner. If a beneficiary is a minor, the death benefit proceeds will be held in an interest bearing account until that beneficiary attains the age of majority.

    You may name new beneficiaries during the insured person's lifetime. We pay death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries whom you have most recently named according to our records. We do not make payments to multiple sets of beneficiaries. The designation of certain beneficiaries may have tax consequences. See Other Tax Matters, page 54.

    Collateral Assignment

    You may assign your policy by sending written notice to us. After we record the assignment, your rights as owner and the beneficiaries' rights (unless the beneficiaries were made irrevocable beneficiaries under an earlier assignment) are subject to the assignment. It is your responsibility to make sure the assignment is valid. The transfer or assignment of a policy may have tax consequences. See Other Tax Matters, page 54.

    Incontestability

    After your policy has been in force and the insured person is alive for two years from your policy date and from the effective date of any new coverage segment, an increase in any other benefit or reinstatement, we will not question the validity of statements in your applicable application.

    Select*Life II 
    58


    Misstatements of Age or Gender

    Notwithstanding the Incontestability provision above, if the insured person's age or gender has been misstated, we adjust the death benefit to the amount that would have been purchased for the insured person's correct age and gender. We base the adjusted death benefit on the cost of insurance charges deducted from your policy value on the last monthly processing date before the insured person's death, or as otherwise required by law.

    If unisex cost of insurance rates apply, we do not make any adjustments for a misstatement of gender.

    Suicide

    If the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane) within two years of your policy date, unless otherwise required by law, we limit death benefit proceeds to:

    • The total premium we receive to the time of death; minus
    • Outstanding loan amount; minus
    • Partial withdrawals taken.

    We make a limited payment to the beneficiaries for a new coverage segment or other increase if the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane) within two years of the effective date of a new coverage segment or within two years of an increase in any other benefit, unless otherwise required by law. The limited payment is equal to the cost of insurance charges that were deducted for the increase.

    Anti-Money Laundering

    In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with certain procedures and standards that serve to assure that our customers' identities are properly verified and that premiums are not derived from improper sources.

    Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require policy owners, insured persons and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing information databases maintained internally or by outside firms.

    We may also refuse to accept certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (traveler's cheques, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (money orders totaling more than $5,000, for example). In addition, we may require information as to why a particular form of payment was used (third party checks, for example) and the source of the funds of such payment in order to determine whether or not we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may result in us returning the payment to you and your policy either entering the 61-day grace period or lapsing. See Lapse, page 50. See also Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage, page 22.

    Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block certain transactions until authorization is received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your policy to government regulators.

    Select*Life II 
    59


    Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes applicable in laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity.

    Transaction Processing

    Generally, within seven days of when we receive all information required to process a payment, we pay:

    • Death benefit proceeds;
    • Surrender value;
    • Partial withdrawals; and
    • Loan proceeds.

    We may delay processing these transactions if:

    • The New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading;
    • Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted by the SEC;
    • There is an emergency so that it is not reasonably possible to sell securities in the subaccounts or to determine the value of a subaccount's assets; and
    • A governmental body with jurisdiction over the variable account allows suspension by its order.

    SEC rules and regulations generally determine whether or not these conditions exist.

    We execute transfers among the subaccounts as of the valuation date of our receipt of your request at our Customer Service Center.

    We determine the death benefit as of the date of the insured person's death. The death benefit proceeds are not affected by subsequent changes in the value of the subaccounts.

    We may delay payment from our fixed account for up to six months, unless law requires otherwise, of surrender proceeds, withdrawal amounts or loan amounts. If we delay payment more than 30 days, we pay interest at our declared rate (or at a higher rate if required by law) from the date we receive your complete request.

    Unless you request otherwise, we generally pay death benefit proceeds, surrender value and partial withdrawals into an interest bearing account that may be accessed by you or the beneficiary, as applicable, through a checkbook feature. This interest bearing account is backed by our general account, and the checkbook feature may be used to access the payment at any time without penalty.

    Notification and Claims Procedures

    Except for certain authorized telephone requests, we must receive in writing any election, designation, change, assignment or request made by the owner.

    You must use a form acceptable to us. We are not liable for actions taken before we receive and record the written notice. We may require you to return your policy for policy changes or if you surrender it.

    If the insured person dies while your policy is in force, please let us know as soon as possible. We will send you instructions on how to make a claim. As proof of the insured person's death, we may require proof of the deceased insured person's age and a certified copy of the death certificate.

    Select*Life II 
    60


    The beneficiaries and the deceased insured person's next of kin may need to sign authorization forms. These forms allow us to get information such as medical records of doctors and hospitals used by the deceased insured person.

    Telephone Privileges

    Telephone privileges are automatically provided to you and your agent/registered representative, unless you decline it on the application or contact our Customer Service Center. Telephone privileges allow you or your agent/registered representative to call our Customer Service Center to:

    • Make transfers;
    • Change premium allocations;
    • Change your dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing programs; and
    • Request a loan.

    Our Customer Service Center uses reasonable procedures to make sure that instructions received by telephone are genuine. These procedures may include:

    • Requiring some form of personal identification;
    • Providing written confirmation of any transactions; and
    • Tape recording telephone calls.

    By accepting telephone privileges, you authorize us to record your telephone calls with us. If we use reasonable procedures to confirm instructions, we are not liable for losses from unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We may discontinue or limit this privilege at any time. See Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers, page 45.

    Telephone and facsimile privileges may not always be available. Telephone or fax systems, whether yours, your service provider's or your agent's, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may prevent or delay our receipt 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 request by written request.

    Non-participation

    Your policy does not participate in the surplus earnings of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company.

    Advertising Practices and Sales Literature

    We may use advertisements and sales literature to promote this product, including:

    • Articles on variable life insurance and other information published in business or financial publications;
    • Indices or rankings of investment securities; and
    • Comparisons with other investment vehicles, including tax considerations.

    We may use information regarding the past performance of the subaccounts and funds. Past performance is not indicative of future performance of the subaccounts or funds and is not reflective of the actual investment experience of policy owners.

    We may feature certain subaccounts, the underlying funds and their managers, as well as describe asset levels and sales volumes. We may refer to past, current, or prospective economic trends and investment performance or other information we believe may be of interest to our customers.

    Select*Life II

    Settlement Options

    You may elect to take the surrender value in other than one lump-sum payment. Likewise, you may elect to have the beneficiaries receive the death benefit proceeds other than in one lump-sum payment, if you make this election during the insured person's lifetime. If you have not made this election, the beneficiaries may do so within 60 days after we receive proof of the insured person's death.

    The investment performance of the subaccounts does not affect payments under these settlement options. Instead, interest accrues at a fixed rate based on the option you choose. Payment options are subject to our rules at the time you make your selection. Currently, a periodic payment must be at least $25 and the total proceeds must be at least $2,500.

    The following settlement options are available:

    • Option 1 - The proceeds are left with us to earn interest. Withdrawals and any changes are subject to our approval;
    • Option 2 - The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments of a specified amount until the proceeds and interest are all paid;
    • Option 3 - The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments for a specified period until the proceeds and interest are all paid;
    • Option 4 - The proceeds provide an annuity payment with a specified number of months. The payments are continued for the life of the primary payee. If the primary payee dies before the certain period is over, the remaining payments are paid to a contingent payee;
    • Option 5 - The proceeds provide a life income for two payees. When one payee dies, the surviving payee receives two-thirds of the amount of the joint monthly payment for life; and
    • Option 6 - The proceeds are used to provide an annuity based on the rates in effect when the proceeds are applied. We will not apply this option if a similar option would be more favorable to the payee at that time.

    Interest on Settlement Options. We base the interest rate for proceeds applied under Options 1 and 2 on the interest rate we declare on money that we consider to be in the same classification based on the option, restrictions on withdrawal and other factors. The interest rate will never be less than an effective annual rate of 3.50% .

    In determining amounts we pay under Options 3 and 4, we assume interest at an effective annual rate of 3.50% . Also, for Option 3 and periods certain under Option 4, we credit any excess interest we may declare on money that we consider to be in the same classification based on the option, restrictions on withdrawal and other factors.

    If none of these settlement options have been elected, your surrender value or the death benefit proceeds will be paid in one lump-sum payment.

    Unless you request otherwise, death benefit proceeds generally will be paid into an interest bearing account that is backed by our general account and can be accessed by the beneficiary through a checkbook feature. Interest earned on this account may be less than interest paid under other settlement options. See Transaction Processing, page 60.

    Reports

    Annual Statement. We will send you an annual statement once each year free of charge showing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy as well as your policy's death benefit, policy and surrender values, the amount of premiums you have paid, the amounts you have withdrawn, borrowed or transferred and the fees and charges we have imposed since the last statement.

    Additional statements are available upon request. We may make a charge not to exceed $50 for each additional annual statement you request. See Excess Annual Report Fee, page 26.

    We send semi-annual reports with financial information on the funds, including a list of investment holdings of each fund.

    We send confirmation notices to you throughout the year for certain policy transactions such as transfers between investment options, partial withdrawals and loans. You are responsible for reviewing the confirmation notices to verify that the transactions are being made as requested.

    Illustrations. To help you better understand how your policy values will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you with a personalized illustration projecting future results based on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. We may make a charge not to exceed $50 for each illustration you request after the first in a policy year. See Excess Illustration Fee, page 26.

    Other Reports. We will mail to you at your last known address of record at least annually a report containing such information as may be required by any applicable law. To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses, including reports and prospectuses for the funds, will be mailed to your household, even if you or other persons in your household have more than one policy issued by us or an affiliate. Call our Customer Service Center at 1-877-886-5050 if you need additional copies of financial reports, prospectuses, historical account information or annual or semi-annual reports or if you would like to receive one copy for each policy in all future mailings.

    Distribution of the Policy

    We sell the policy through licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers. All broker/dealers who sell the policy have entered into selling agreements with ING America Equities, Inc., our affiliate and the principal underwriter and distributor of the policy. ING America Equities, Inc. is organized under the laws of the State of Colorado, registered with the SEC as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and a member of the NASD. Its principal office is located at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.

    ING America Equities, Inc. offers the securities under the policies on a continuous basis. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the aggregate amount of underwriting commissions we paid to ING America Equities, Inc. was $23,918,675, $28,325,080 and $31,102,593, respectively.

    Select*Life II 
    63


    ING America Equities, Inc. does not retain any commissions or other amounts paid to it by us for sales of the policy. Rather, it pays all the amounts received from us to the broker/dealers for selling the policy, and part of that payment goes to your agent/registered representative.

    The following is a list of broker-dealers affiliated with the company which have selling agreements with ING America Equities, Inc.:

    • Bancnorth Investment Group, Inc.
    • Financial Network Investment Corporation
    • Guaranty Brokerage Services, Inc.
    • ING Financial Advisers, LLC
    • ING Financial Partners, Inc.
    • Multi-Financial Securities Corporation
    • PrimeVest Financial Services, Inc.

    The amounts that we pay for the sale of the policy can generally be categorized as either commissions or other amounts. The commissions we pay can be further categorized as base commissions and supplemental or wholesaling commissions.

    Base commissions consist of a percentage of premium we receive for the policy up to the target premium amount, a percentage of premium we receive for the policy in excess of the target premium amount and, as a trail commission, a percentage of your average net policy value. First year commission pays up to 90% of premium received up to target and 4% of premium in excess of target in the first year, 4% of total premium received in the second through tenth years and 1.5% of premium received thereafter (renewal commission), and 0.20% of the average net policy value in the year that average amount is greater than or equal to $5,000.00.

    Supplemental or wholesaling commissions are paid based on a percentage of target premiums we receive for the policy and certain other designated insurance products sold during a calendar year. The percentages of such commissions that we may pay may increase as the aggregate amount of premiums received for all products issued by the company and/or its affiliates during the calendar year increases. The maximum percentage of supplemental or wholesaling commissions that we may pay is 43%.

    Generally, the commissions paid on premiums for base coverage under the policy are greater than those paid on premiums for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Be aware of this and discuss with your agent/registered representative the right blend of base coverage and Term Insurance Rider coverage for you.

    In addition to the sales compensation described above, ING America Equities, Inc. may also pay broker-dealers additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling the policy to you and other customers. These amounts may include:

    • Marketing/distribution allowances which may be based on the percentages of premium received, the aggregate commissions paid and/or the aggregate assets held in relation to certain types of designated insurance products issued by the company and/or its affiliates during the year;
    • Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to agents/registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms such as reduction or elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan, which terms may be conditioned on fixed insurance product sales;
    • Education and training allowances to facilitate our attendance at certain educational and training meetings to provide information and training about our products. We also hold training programs from time to time at our own expense;
    • Sponsorship payments or reimbursements for broker/dealers to use in sales contests and/or meetings for their agents/registered representatives who sell our products. We do not hold contests based solely on sales of this product;
    • Certain overrides and other benefits that may include cash compensation based on the amount of earned commissions, agent/representative recruiting or other activities that promote the sale of policy; and
    • Additional cash or noncash compensation and reimbursements permissible under existing law. This may include, but is not limited to, cash incentives, merchandise, trips, occasional entertainment, meals and tickets to sporting events, client appreciation events, business and educational enhancement items, payment for travel expenses (including meals and lodging) to pre-approved training and education seminars, and payment for advertising and sales campaigns.

    We may pay commissions, dealer concessions, wholesaling fees, overrides, bonuses, other allowances and benefits and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources, which include the fees and charges imposed under the policy.

    The following is a list of the top 25 broker/dealers that, during 2006, received the most compensation, in the aggregate, from us in connection with the sale of registered variable life insurance policies issued by us, ranked by total dollars received.

    This is a general discussion of the types and levels of compensation paid by us for the sale of our variable life insurance policies. It is important for you to know that the payment of volume or sales-based compensation to a broker/dealer or registered representative may provide that registered representative a financial incentive to promote our policies over those of another company, and may also provide a financial incentive to promote the policy offered by this prospectus over one of our other policies.

    Legal Proceedings

    We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings that involve the variable account as a party.

    The company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitrations, suits against the company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the company’s operations or financial position.

    ING America Equities, Inc., the principal underwriter and distributor of the policy, is a party to threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitration that generally arise from the normal conduct of business. Some of these suits may seek class action status and sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. ING America Equities, Inc. is not involved in any legal proceeding that, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse affect on its ability to distribute the policy.

    GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

    ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (the “company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) issues the policy described in the prospectus and is responsible for providing each policy's insurance benefits. We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1885 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”), a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. ING is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We are engaged in the business of issuing insurance policies. Our home office is located at 20 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401.

    We established the Select*Life Variable Account (the “variable account”) on October 11, 1984, under the laws of the State of Minnesota for the purpose of funding variable life insurance policies issued by us. The variable account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Premium payments may be allocated to one or more of the available subaccounts of the variable account. Each subaccount invests in shares of a corresponding fund at net asset value. We may make additions to, deletions from or substitutions of available funds as permitted by law and subject to the conditions of the policy.

    Other than the policy owner fees and charges described in the prospectus, all expenses incurred in the operations of the variable account are borne by the company. We do, however, receive compensation for certain recordkeeping, administration or other services from the funds or affiliates of the funds available through the policies. See Fund Fees and Expenses in the prospectus.

    The company maintains custody of the assets of the variable account. As custodian, the company holds cash balances for the variable account pending investment in the funds or distribution. The funds in whose shares the assets of the subaccounts of the variable account are invested each have custodians, as discussed in the respective fund prospectuses.

    PERFORMANCE REPORTING AND ADVERTISING

    Information regarding the past, or historical, performance of the subaccounts of the variable account and the funds available for investment through the subaccounts of the variable account may appear in advertisements, sales literature or reports to policy owners or prospective purchasers. SUCH PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR THE SUBACCOUNTS WILL REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF ALL FUND FEES AND CHARGES, INCLUDING INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES, DISTRIBUTION (12B-1) FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES BUT WILL NOT REFLECT DEDUCTIONS FOR ANY POLICY FEES AND CHARGES. IF THE POLICY'S PREMIUM EXPENSE, COST OF INSURANCE, ADMINISTRATIVE AND MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION, PERIODIC OR OPTIONAL BENEFITS FEES AND CHARGES WERE DEDUCTED, THE PERFORMANCE SHOWN WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER.

    With respect to performance reporting it is important to remember that past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown and actual investment returns and principal values will fluctuate so that shares and/or units, at redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

    2


    Performance history of the subaccounts of the variable account and the corresponding funds is measured by comparing the value at the beginning of the period to the value at the end of the period. Performance is usually calculated for periods of one month, three months, year-to-date, one year, three years, five years, ten years (if the fund has been in existence for these periods) and since the inception date of the fund (if the fund has been in existence for less than ten years). We may provide performance information showing average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a subaccount commenced operation. We will calculate such performance information based on the assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the funds, with the level of charges at the variable account level that were in effect at the inception of the subaccounts. Performance information will be specific to the class of fund shares offered through the policy, however, for periods prior to the date a class of fund shares commenced operations, performance information may be based on a different class of shares of the same fund. In this case, performance for the periods prior to the date a class of fund shares commenced operations will be adjusted by the fund fees and expenses associated with the class of fund shares offered through the policy.

    We may compare performance of the subaccounts and/or the funds as reported from time to time in advertisements and sales literature to other variable life insurance issuers in general; to the performance of particular types of variable life insurance policies investing in mutual funds; or to investment series of mutual funds with investment objectives similar to each of the subaccounts, whose performance is reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (“Lipper”) and Morningstar. Inc. (“Morningstar”) or reported by other series, companies, individuals or other industry or financial publications of general interest, such as Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Barron's, Kiplinger's and Fortune. Lipper and Morningstar are independent services that monitor and rank the performances of variable life insurance issuers in each of the major categories of investment objectives on an industry-wide basis.

    Lipper's and Morningstar's rankings include variable annuity issuers as well as variable life insurance issuers. The performance analysis prepared by Lipper and Morningstar ranks such issuers on the basis of total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take sales charges, redemption fees or certain expense deductions at the separate account level into consideration. We may also compare the performance of each subaccount in advertising and sales literature to the Standard & Poor's Index of 500 common stocks and the Dow Jones Industrials, which are widely used measures of stock market performance. We may also compare the performance of each subaccount to other widely recognized indices. Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends, but typically do not reflect any “deduction” for the expense of operating or managing an investment portfolio.

    To help you better understand how your policy's death benefits, policy value and surrender value will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we encourage you to obtain a personalized illustration. Personalized illustrations will assume deductions for fund expenses and policy and variable account charges. We will base these illustrations on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. These personalized illustrations will be based on either a hypothetical investment return of the funds of 0% and other percentages not to exceed 12% or on the actual historical experience of the funds as if the subaccounts had been in existence and a policy issued for the same periods as those indicated for the funds. Subject to regulatory approval, personalized illustrations may be based upon a weighted average of fund expenses rather than an arithmetic average. A personalized illustration is available upon request by contacting our customer service center at P.O. Box 5011, 2000 21st Avenue NY, Minot, ND 58703 or by calling 1-877-886-5050.

    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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Divisions constituting ReliaStar Life Insurance Company Select*Life Variable Account at December 31, 2006, the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the periods disclosed in the financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

    Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    Board of Directors and Stockholder
    ReliaStar Life Insurance Company

    We have audited the accompanying statutory basis balance sheets of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (the “Company,” an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc.), as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statutory basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Insurance (“Minnesota Division of Insurance”), which practices differ from United States generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and United States generally accepted accounting principles and the effects on the accompanying financial statements are described in Note 1.

    In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2006 and 2005, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended.


    However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Division of Insurance.

    1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

    ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) is domiciled in Minnesota and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. (“Lion”), a Connecticut holding and management company. Lion, in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”). ING AIH’s ultimate parent is ING Groep, N.V. (“ING”), a global financial services company based in The Netherlands.

    The Company is principally engaged in the business of providing individual life insurance and annuities, employee benefit products and services, retirement plans, and life and health reinsurance. The Company is presently licensed in all states (approved for reinsurance only in New York), the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and Canada.

    Basis of Presentation

    The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

    The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Division of Insurance, which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The most significant variances from GAAP are as follows:

    Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or market value based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments are designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value with unrealized capital gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income in stockholder’s equity for those designated as available-for-sale.

    In addition, the Company invests in structured securities including mortgage-backed securities/collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and commercial mortgage-backed securities. For these structured securities, management compares the undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value. An other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred when the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value.

    For structured securities, when a negative yield results from a revaluation based on new prepayment assumptions (i.e., undiscounted cash flows are less than current book value), an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred and the asset is

    8


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    written down to the value of the undiscounted cash flows. For GAAP, assets are reevaluated based on the discounted cash flows using a current market rate. Impairments are recognized when there has been an adverse change in cash flows and the fair value is less than book value. The asset is then written down to fair value. When a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the individual security is written down to fair value and the loss is accounted for as a realized loss.

    Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments rather than reported as an operating asset as under GAAP, and investment income and operating expenses include rent for the Company’s occupancy of these properties. Changes between depreciated cost and admitted asset investment amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus rather than income as would be required under GAAP.

    Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 31, Derivative Instruments, applies to derivative transactions prior to January 1, 2003. The Company also follows the hedge accounting guidance in SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for derivative transactions entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2003. Under this guidance, derivatives that are deemed effective hedges are accounted for in a manner which is consistent with the underlying hedged item. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of SSAP No. 86 as an effective hedge are carried at fair value with the change in value recorded in surplus as unrealized gains or losses. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately. An embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of stockholders’ equity rather than to income as required for fair value hedges.

    Valuation Reserves: The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) is determined by an NAIC–prescribed formula and is reported as a liability rather than as a valuation allowance or an appropriation of surplus. The change in AVR is reported directly to unassigned surplus.

    Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed–income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates, and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual securities sold in five–year bands. The net deferral or interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) is reported as a liability in the accompanying Balance Sheets.

    Realized gains and losses on investments are reported in the Statements of Operations net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the Statements of Operations on a pretax basis in the period that the asset giving rise to the gain or loss is sold. Realized losses due to impairment are

    9


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    recorded when there has been a decline in value deemed to be other than temporary, in which case the provision for such declines is charged to income.

    Valuation allowances, if necessary, are established for mortgage loans based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.

    The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans as a result of a temporary impairment are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such allowances are included as a component of earnings.

    Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, acquisition costs related to traditional life insurance, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, are deferred and amortized over the premium–paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves. For universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross margins from surrender charges and investment, mortality, and expense margins.

    Premiums: Life premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums for annuity policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, are also recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting. In deposit accounting, premiums are credited to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium through income.

    Under GAAP, premiums for traditional life insurance products, which include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist primarily of whole life insurance policies, are recognized as revenue when due. Group insurance premiums are recognized as premium revenue over the time period to which the premiums relate. Revenues for universal life, annuities and guaranteed interest contracts consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration charges, amortization of policy initiation fees and surrender charges assessed during the period.

    Benefit and Contract Reserves: Life policy and contract reserves under statutory accounting practices are calculated based upon both the net level premium and Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation methods using statutory rates for mortality and interest. GAAP requires that policy reserves for traditional products be based upon the net level premium method utilizing reasonably conservative estimates of mortality, interest, and withdrawals prevailing when the policies were sold. For interest-sensitive

    10


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    products, the GAAP policy reserve is equal to the policy fund balance plus an unearned revenue reserve which reflects the unamortized balance of early year policy loads over renewal year policy loads.

    Reinsurance: For business ceded to unauthorized reinsurers, statutory accounting practices require that reinsurance credits permitted by the treaty be recorded as an offsetting liability and charged against unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings. Statutory income recognized on certain reinsurance treaties representing financing arrangements is not recognized on a GAAP basis.

    Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as required under GAAP.

    Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

    Gains and losses generated in certain reinsurance transactions are deferred and amortized over the remaining life the business for GAAP purposes. For statutory, such amounts are recognized immediately in income, with gains reported as a separate component of surplus.

    Subsidiaries: The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated. Certain affiliated investments for which audited GAAP statements are not available or expected to be available are non-admitted. Under GAAP, the accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are consolidated. All affiliated investments are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted,” principally deferred federal income tax assets, disallowed interest maintenance reserves, non–operating software, past–due agents’ balances, furniture and equipment, intangible assets, and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the Balance Sheets.

    Employee Benefits: For purposes of calculating the Company’s postretirement benefit obligation, only vested participants and current retirees are included in the valuation. Under GAAP, active participants not currently vested are also included.

    Universal Life and Annuity Policies: Revenues for universal life and annuity policies consist of the entire premium received and benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Under GAAP, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would

    11


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values.

    Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared; rather than over the term of the related policies as required by GAAP.

    Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets are provided for and admitted to an amount determined under a standard formula. This formula considers the amount of differences that will reverse in the subsequent year, taxes paid in prior years that could be recovered through carrybacks, surplus limits and the amount of deferred tax liabilities available for offset. Any deferred tax assets not covered under the formula are nonadmitted. Deferred taxes do not include any amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, a deferred tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in future years and a valuation allowance is established for the portion that is not realizable.

    Surplus Notes: Surplus notes are reported as a component of surplus. Under statutory accounting practices, no interest is recorded on the surplus notes until payment has been approved by the Minnesota Division of Insurance. Under GAAP, surplus notes are reported as liabilities and the related interest is reported as a charge to earnings over the term of the note.

    Statements of Cash Flows: Cash and short–term investments in the statements of cash flows represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

    Participation Fund Account

    On January 3, 1989, the Minnesota Division of Insurance approved a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (“the Plan”), which provided, among other things, for the conversion of the Company from a combined stock and mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company.

    The Plan provided for the establishment of a Participation Fund Account (“PFA”) for the benefit of certain participating individual life insurance policies and annuities issued by the Company prior to the effective date of the Plan. Under the terms of the PFA, the insurance liabilities and assets (approximately $257.9 as of December 31, 2006) with respect to such policies are included in the Company’s financial statements but are segregated in the accounting records of the Company to assure the continuation of policyholder dividend practices.

    Reconciliation to GAAP

    The effects of the preceding variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory basis financial statements have not been determined, but are presumed to be material.

    Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

    Investments

    Investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:

    Bonds not backed by other loans are principally stated at amortized cost using the interest method.

    Single class and multi class mortgage backed/asset backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method including anticipated prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities except for higher risk asset backed securities, which are valued using the prospective method. The Company has elected to use the book value as of January 1, 1994 as the cost for applying the retrospective method to securities purchased prior to that date where historical cash flows are not readily available.

    Redeemable preferred stocks rated as high quality or better are reported at cost or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or market value and nonredeemable preferred stocks are reported at market value or the lower of cost or market value as determined by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC (“SVO”).

    Hybrid securities are generally defined as securities including both debt and equity characteristics. During 2005 and prior, hybrid securities were reported as bonds on the balance sheet. During 2006, the NAIC held discussions regarding the appropriate reporting/classification of these securities. Although discussion on the issues will continue into 2007, the short-term reporting guidance from the NAIC recommends that hybrid securities, as defined by this same NAIC guidance, be reported as preferred stock. Therefore, all hybrid securities have been reclassified as preferred stock on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. This resulted in a reclassification of $77.3 from bonds to preferred stock on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.

    Common stocks are reported at market value as determined by the SVO and the related unrealized capital gains/losses are reported in unassigned surplus along with the adjustment for federal income taxes.

    The Company analyzes the general account investments to determine whether there has been an other than temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Management considers the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer,

    13

    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    future economic conditions and market forecasts, and the Company's intent and ability to not sell the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in market value. If it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security will not be collected, an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. The Company also considers the negative market impact of the interest rate changes, in addition to credit related items, when performing other-than-temporary impairment testing. As part of this testing, the Company determines whether or not it has the ability and intent to not sell the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value.

    The Company uses derivatives such as interest rate swaps, caps and floors, forwards and options as part of its overall interest rate and other economical risk management strategy for certain life insurance and annuity products. For those derivatives in effective hedging relationships, the Company values all derivative instruments on a consistent basis with the hedged item. Upon termination, gains and losses on those instruments are deferred to IMR or included in the carrying values of the underlying hedged items and are amortized over the remaining lives of the hedged items as adjustments to investment income or benefits from the hedged items. Any unamortized gains or losses are recognized when the underlying hedged items are sold. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of SSAP No. 31 or SSAP No. 86 as an effective hedge are carried at fair value with change in value recorded in surplus as unrealized gain or loss.

    Credit default swaps and total return swaps are utilized to replicate the investment characteristics of permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments. The replication (synthetic asset) and the derivative and other cash instrument are carried at amortized cost.

    Interest rate swap contracts are used to convert the interest rate characteristics (fixed or variable) of certain investments to match those of the related insurance liabilities that the investments are supporting. The net interest effect of such swap transactions is reported as an adjustment of interest income from the hedged items as incurred.

    Interest rate caps and floors are used to limit the effects of changing interest rates on yields of variable rate or short-term assets or liabilities. The initial cost of any such agreement is amortized to net investment income over the life of the agreement. Periodic payments that are receivable as a result of the agreements are accrued as an adjustment of interest income or benefits from the hedged items.

    All effective derivatives are reported at amortized cost with the exception of S&P Options. S&P Options are reported at fair value since they do not meet the hedge requirement of SSAP No. 31 or SSAP No. 86. The unrealized gains or losses from S&P Options are reported as unrealized gain or loss in surplus.

    SSAP No. 88, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities, applies to the Company’s subsidiaries, controlled and affiliated entities (“SCA”). The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are reported at their underlying statutory basis net assets, and the Company’s noninsurance subsidiaries are reported at the GAAP basis of their net assets. Dividends from subsidiaries are included in net investment income. The total net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses.

    Mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, less write down for impairments.

    Contract loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

    Land is reported at cost. Real estate occupied by the Company is reported at depreciated cost; other real estate is reported at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight–line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties.

    For reverse repurchase agreements, Company policies require a minimum of 95% of the fair value of securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements to be maintained as collateral. Cash collateral received is invested in short–term investments and the offsetting collateral liability is included in miscellaneous liabilities.

    Reverse dollar repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateral borrowings, where the amount borrowed is equal to the sales price of the underlying securities.

    The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain domestic bonds from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Collateral, primarily cash, which is in excess of the market value of the loaned securities, is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent to generate additional income for the Company. The Company does not have access to the collateral. The Company’s policy requires a minimum of 102% of the fair value of securities loaned to be maintained as collateral. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value fluctuates.

    Short-term investments are reported at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term investments include investments with maturities of less than one year at the date of acquisition.

    Partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets on the Balance Sheets, are reported at the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee.

    Residual collateralized mortgage obligations, which are included in other invested assets on the Balance Sheet, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

    Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the first-in first-out method.

    Cash on hand includes cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short-term investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity date of three months or less.

    Aggregate Reserve for Life Policies and Contracts

    Life, annuity, and accident and health reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash value or the amounts required by law. Interest rates range from 2.0% to 13.3% .

    The Company waives the deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon the death of the insured. It is the Company’s practice to return a pro rata portion of any premium paid beyond the policy month of death, although it is not contractually required to do so for certain issues.

    The methods used in the valuation of substandard policies are as follows:

    For life, endowment and term policies issued substandard, the standard reserve during the premium–paying period is increased by 50% of the gross annual extra premium. Standard reserves are held on Paid–Up Limited Pay contracts.

    For reinsurance accepted with table rating, the reserve established is a multiple of the standard reserve corresponding to the table rating.

    For reinsurance with flat extra premiums, the standard reserve is increased by 50% of the flat extra.

    The amount of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums, according to the standard of valuation required by the Minnesota Division of Insurance, is $21.7 billion and $21.4 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amount of premium deficiency reserves for policies on which gross premiums are less than the net premiums is $517.5 and $457.3 at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

    The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency calculation in accordance with SSAP No. 54, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts.

    The tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves for all direct ordinary life insurance and for the portion of group life insurance

    16


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

    classified as group Section 79. The method of determination of tabular interest of funds not involving life contingencies is as follows: one hundredth of the product of such valuation rate of interest times the mean of the amount of funds subject to such valuation rate of interest held at the beginning and end of the year of valuation.

    Reinsurance

    Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts and are consistent with the risks assumed. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium revenue and benefits expense. Amounts applicable to reinsurance ceded for reserves and unpaid claim liabilities have been reported as reductions of these items, and expense allowances received in connection with reinsurance ceded have been reflected in operations.

    Electronic Data Processing Equipment

    Electronic data processing equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for major classes of assets is calculated on a straight–line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.

    Participating Insurance

    Participating business approximates less than 1.0% of the Company’s ordinary life insurance in force and 11.4% of premium income. The amount of dividends to be paid is determined annually by the Board of Directors. Amounts allocable to participating policyholders are based on published dividend projections or expected dividend scales. Dividend expense of $18.3 and $17.2 was incurred in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

    Benefit Plans

    The Company provides noncontributory retirement plans for substantially all employees and certain agents. Pension costs are charged to operations as contributions are made to the plan. The Company also provides a contributory retirement plan for substantially all employees.

    Other    11,109        13,552 


    Total nonadmitted assets    $ 269,857    $ 313,544 



    Changes in nonadmitted assets are generally reported directly in surplus as an increase or decrease in nonadmitted assets.

    Claims and Claims Adjustment Expenses

    Claims expenses represent the estimated ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims incurred through December 31, 2006. The Company does not discount claims and claims adjustment expense reserves. Such estimates are based on actuarial projections applied to historical claims payment data. Such liabilities are considered to be reasonable and adequate to discharge the Company’s obligations for claims incurred but unpaid as of December 31, 2006.

    Guaranteed Benefits

    For the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (“GMDB”), Actuarial Guideline 34 is followed. AG34 interprets the standards for applying CARVM to GMDBs in variable annuity contracts where GMDBs are integrated with other benefits such as surrenders and annuitizations. This guideline requires that GMDBs be projected assuming an immediate drop in the value of the assets supporting the variable annuity contract, followed by a subsequent recovery at a Net Assumed Return. The immediate drops and assumed returns used in the projections are provided in AG34 and vary by five asset classes in order to reflect the risk/return differential inherent in each class. Contract specific asset based charges are deducted to obtain the Net Assumed Returns. This Guideline interprets mortality standards to be applied to projected GMDBs in the reserve calculation. In addition, this Guideline clarifies standards for reinsurance transactions revolving GMDBs with the Integrated Benefit Streams modified to reflect both the payment of future reinsurance premiums and the recovery of future reinsured death benefits.

    Cash Flow Information

    Cash and short-term investments include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term fixed maturity instruments with a maturity of less than one year at the date of acquisition.

    Separate Accounts

    Most separate account assets and liabilities held by the Company represent funds held for the benefit of the Company’s variable life and annuity policy and contract holders who bear all of the investment risk associated with the policies. Such policies are of a non-guaranteed nature. All net investment experience, positive or negative, is attributed to the policy and contract holders’ account values. The assets and liabilities of these accounts are carried at fair value.

    Certain other separate accounts relate to experience-rated group annuity contracts that fund defined contribution pension plans. These contracts provide guaranteed interest returns for one year only, where the guaranteed interest rate is re-established each year based on the investment experience of the separate account. In no event can the interest rate be less than zero. The assets and liabilities of these separate accounts are carried at book value.

    Reserves related to the Company’s mortality risk associated with these policies are included in life and annuity reserves. These reserves include reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefits (before reinsurance) that totaled $14.5 and $18.3 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying statements of operations.

    2. Permitted Statutory Basis Accounting Practices

    The financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Division of Insurance. The Minnesota Division of Insurance recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the state of Minnesota for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Minnesota Insurance Laws. The NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the state of Minnesota. The Minnesota Commissioner of Commerce has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

    The Company is required to identify those significant accounting practices that are permitted, and obtain written approval of the practices from the Minnesota Division of Insurance. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had no such permitted accounting practices.

The reverse dollar repurchases are accounted for as short-term collateralized financing and the repurchase obligation is reported in borrowed money on the Balance Sheets. The repurchase obligation totaled $188.8 and $245.8 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The securities underlying these agreements are mortgage-backed securities with a book value of $193.0 and $254.2 and fair value of $187.1 and $247.4 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The securities have a weighted average coupon rate of 5.3% and have maturities ranging from December 2021 through December 2036. The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty may be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. The Company’s exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short-term investments, which was not material at December 31, 2006. The Company believes the counterparties to the reverse dollar repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal.

    The Company participates in reverse repurchase transactions. Such transactions include the sale of corporate securities to a major securities dealer and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same securities in the near term. The proceeds are invested in new securities of intermediate durations. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the amount outstanding on these agreements was $376.0 and $326.6, respectively. The securities underlying these agreements are mortgage-backed securities with a book value of $377.5 and $329.5 and fair value of $375.8 and $325.0 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The securities have a weighted average coupon rate of 5.5% and have maturities ranging from September 2017 through March 2045.

    4. Derivative Financial Instruments Held for Purposes Other than Trading

    The Company utilizes derivatives such as options, futures and interest rate swaps to reduce and manage risks, which include the risk of a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, exchange rates or quantity of, or a degree of exposure with respect to, assets, liabilities, or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred. The Company’s hedge accounting practices are in accordance with the requirements set in SSAP No. 86. The Company also enters into credit default swaps and total return swaps to replicate the investment characteristics of permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments. Replicated (Synthetic) Assets filed with the NAIC SVO result in both the derivative and cash instrument being carried at amortized cost. Hedge accounting practices are followed in accordance with requirements set forth in SSAP No. 86 for those derivatives that are deemed highly effective.

    All effective derivatives are reported at amortized cost with the exception of S&P Options. S&P Options are reported at fair value since they do not meet the hedge requirement of SSAP No. 31 or SSAP No. 86. The unrealized gains or losses from S&P Options are reported as unrealized gain or loss in surplus.

    The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities. Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. Currency swap agreements generally involve the exchange of local and foreign currency payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

    Interest rate cap and interest rate floor agreements owned entitle the Company to receive payments to the extent reference interest rates exceed or fall below strike levels in the contracts based on the notional amounts.

    Credit default swaps and total return swaps are utilized to replicate the investment characteristics of permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments. The replication (synthetic asset) and the derivative and other cash instrument are carried at amortized cost.

    All premiums paid for the purchase of derivative contracts are included in other invested assets on the balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the contracts or in a manner consistent with the financial instruments being hedged.

    Amounts paid or received, if any, from such contracts are included in interest expense or income on the statements of operations. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable from counterparties are included in other liabilities or other invested assets.

    25


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Gains or losses realized as a result of early terminations of interest rate contracts are amortized to investment income over the remaining term of the items being hedged to the extent the hedge is considered to be effective; otherwise, they are recognized upon termination.

    Derivatives that are designated as being in an effective hedging relationship are reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Derivative contracts that are matched or otherwise designated to be associated with other financial instruments are recorded at fair value if the related financial instruments mature, are sold, or are otherwise terminated or if the interest rate contracts cease to be effective hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in effective hedging relationships are recorded as unrealized capital gains in surplus.

    The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on interest rate contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. The amount of such exposure is generally the unrealized gains related to such contracts. The Company manages the potential credit exposure from interest rate contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparties’ credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.

    The table below summarizes the Company’s derivative contracts included in other invested assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005:

The carrying value of these holdings amounted to 2.4% of the Company’s investment in bonds and 1.5% of the Company’s total admitted assets at December 31, 2006.

    At December 31, 2006, the Company’s commercial mortgages involved a concentration of properties located in California (20.9%) and Texas (9.5%) .

    7. Employee Benefit Plans

    Defined Benefit Plan

    ING North America Insurance Corporation (“ING North America”) sponsors the ING Americas Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”), effective as of December 31, 2001. Substantially all employees of ING North America and its subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees.

    The Retirement Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, the benefits of which are guaranteed (within certain specified legal limits) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). As of January 1, 2002, each participant in the Retirement Plan (except for certain specified employees) earns a benefit under a final average compensation formula. The costs allocated to the Company for its employees’ participation in the Retirement Plan were $9.1 and $7.6 for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

    Defined Contribution Plans

    ING North America sponsors the ING Savings Plan and ESOP (the “Savings Plan”). Substantially all employees of ING North America and its subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. The Savings Plan is a tax-qualified profit sharing and stock bonus plan, which includes an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) component. Savings Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the PBGC. The Savings Plan allows eligible participants to defer into the Savings Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. ING North America matches such pre-tax contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. All matching contributions are subject to a 4-year graded vesting schedule (although certain specified participants are subject to a 5-year graded vesting schedule). All contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. The costs allocated to the Company for the Savings Plan were $7.0 and $6.3 for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

    Other Benefit Plans

    In addition to providing retirement plan benefits, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, provides certain supplemental retirement benefits to eligible employees and health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and other eligible dependents. The supplemental retirement plan includes a non-qualified defined benefit pension plan, and a non-qualified defined contribution plan, which means all benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company. The post-retirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually. The life insurance plan provides a flat amount of noncontributory coverage and optional contributory coverage.

    A summary of assets, obligations and assumptions of the Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Plans are as follows:

    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Assumptions used in determining the accounting for the defined benefit plans and other benefit plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

        2006        2005   


    Weighted-average discount rate         5.9    %         5.5    % 
    Rate of increase in compensation level         4.0    %         4.0    % 

    The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) for the medical plan is 9.0% graded to 5.0% over 5 years. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 2006 by $.5. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 2006 by $.5.

    The Company expects to pay the following benefits:

    Year ending     
    December 31,    Benefits 


        (In Thousands) 
    2007    $ 2,874 
    2008    2,828 
    2009    2,784 
    2010    2,732 
    2011    2,696 
    Thereafter    12,986 

    The measurement date used for postretirement benefits is December 31, 2006.

    On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Impairment and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act introduced a prescription drug benefit under Medicare, as well as a federal subsidiary to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare. The impact of the Act is not reflected in any amounts disclosed in the financial statements or accompanying notes. The 2007 expected benefit reduction in the net post retirement benefit cost for the subsidy related to benefits attributed to former employees is $0.3. There is no effect of the subsidy on the measurement of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the current period.

    The Company expects to pay contributions of $5.3 for all plans during 2007.

    8. Separate Accounts

    Separate account assets and liabilities represent funds segregated by the Company for the benefit of certain policy and contract holders who bear the investment risk. Revenues and expenses on the separate account assets and related liabilities equal the benefits paid or payable to the separate account policy and contract holders.

    The general nature and characteristics of the separate account business follows:

    9.    Reinsurance     

    The Company is involved in both ceded and assumed reinsurance with other companies for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger risks. To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under these treaties, the Company remains contingently liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from retrocessionaire insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of the retrocessionaire and monitors concentrations of credit risk.

    Assumed premiums amounted to $675.1 and $566.5 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

    The Company does not have any reinsurance agreements in effect under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel the agreement.

    10. Federal Income Taxes

    Effective January 1, 2006, the Company filed a consolidated federal income tax return with its ultimate U.S. parent, ING AIH, a Delaware corporation, and other U.S. affiliates and subsidiaries. The method of tax allocation is governed by a written tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides that each member of the consolidated return shall reimburse ING AIH for its respective share of the consolidated federal income tax liability and shall receive a benefit for its losses at the statutory rate.

    Current income taxes incurred consist of the following major components:

        Year ended December 31 
                           2006        2005 


        (In Thousands)

    The provision for federal income taxes incurred is different from that which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income (including capital losses) before income taxes. The significant items causing this difference are:

        Year Ended 
        December 31, 2006 

        (In Thousands) 
    Ordinary income    $ 230,315 
    Capital losses    (18,027) 

    Total pre-tax book income    $ 212,288 

     
    Provision computed at statutory rate    74,301 
    Dividends received deduction    (19,020) 
    Interest maintenance reserve    (12,928) 
    Reinsurance    38,419 
    Other    (873) 

    Total    $ 79,899 

     
    Federal income taxes incurred    $ 82,788 
    Change in net deferred income taxes    (2,889) 

    Total statutory income taxes    $ 79,899 


    The amount of federal income taxes incurred that will be available for recoupment in the event of future net losses is $21.4 and $71.6 from 2006 and 2005, respectively.

    The Company has a payable of $24.6 and $33.9 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for federal income taxes under the intercompany tax sharing agreement.

    Under prior law, the Company was allowed to defer from taxation a portion of income. Deferred income of $32.6 was accumulated in the Policyholders’ Surplus Account and would only become taxable under certain conditions, which management believed to be remote. In 2004, Congress passed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 allowing certain tax-free distributions from the Policyholders’ Surplus Account during 2005 and 2006. During 2006, the Company made a dividend distribution of $35.0 which eliminated the $32.6 balance in the Policyholders Surplus Account and, therefore, eliminated any potential tax on the accumulated balance.

    11. Investment in and Advances to Subsidiaries

    The Company has two wholly owned insurance subsidiaries at December 31, 2006, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (“RNY”) and ING Re (UK) Limited. The Company also has three wholly owned noninsurance subsidiaries: NWNL Benefits Corporation, Whisperingwind I, LLC, and Whisperingwind II, LLC and one partially owned noninsurance subsidiary Superior Vision Services, Inc. (“SVS”). (See Subsequent

    36


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Event footnote related to SVS). Whisperingwind I, LLC and Whisperingwind II, LLC (“Captives”) were nonadmitted at December 31, 2006 in accordance with SSAP No. 88.

    Amounts invested in and advanced to the Company’s subsidiaries are summarized as follows:

        December 31   
                         2006        2005 


        (In Thousands)   
    Common stock (cost - $208,413 in 2006 and $196,153 in 2005)    $ 330,204    $ 286,170 

    Summarized financial information for these subsidiaries is as follows:

                                         December 31   
        2006        2005 


                                          (In Thousands) 
    Revenues    $ 590,335    $ 524,362 
    Income before net realized gains on investments    18,991        38,186 
    Net income    18,180        37,755 
    Admitted assets    3,055,769        2,815,419 
    Liabilities    2,725,565        2,529,249 

    The Company received cash dividends from its subsidiary RNY of $27.6 in 2006 and $20.8 in 2005.

    The Company created the Captives with initial capital contributions of $0.3 each on October 27, 2006. Additional capital contributions were paid into Whisperingwind I, LLC of $7.1 and Whisperingwind II, LLC of $3.4 on December 14, 2006. The Captives have applied to the South Carolina Department of Insurance for their respective licenses to become special purpose financial captive reinsurance companies. Their applications were pending as of December 31, 2006. Consequently, the Captives have not commenced writing insurance business. Upon approval of the applications and the issuance of the licenses, the Company anticipates entering into reinsurance transactions with each of the Captives.

    12. Capital and Surplus

    Under Minnesota insurance regulations, the Company is required to maintain a minimum total capital and surplus of $2.0. Additionally, the amount of dividends which can be paid by the Company to its shareholder without prior approval of the Minnesota Division of Insurance is limited to the greater of 10% of statutory surplus or the statutory net gain from operations.

    Lion loaned $100.0 to the Company under a surplus note dated December 1, 2001. The surplus note provides, subject to the regulatory constraints discussed below, that (1) it is a surplus note which will mature on September 15, 2021 with principal due at maturity, but payable without penalty, in whole or in part before maturity; (2) interest is payable at a variable rate based upon an annualized yield rate for U.S. Treasury Bonds payable semi-annually; and (3) in the event that the Company is in default in the payment of any required interest or principal, the Company cannot pay cash dividends on its capital stock (all of which is owned directly by Lion). The surplus note further provides that there may be no payment of interest or principal without the express approval of the Minnesota Division of Insurance. For the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, interest paid totaled $4.7 and $4.6, respectively. There is no accrued interest for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

    Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk Based Capital (“RBC”) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life and health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 2006, the Company meets the RBC requirements.

    13. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

    In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

    Life insurance liabilities that contain mortality risk and all nonfinancial instruments have been excluded from the disclosure requirements. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

    38


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are summarized as follows:

                December 31     
          2006        2005 


        Carrying        Fair    Carrying     Fair

    short-term investments    341,241        341,241    182,231    182,231 
       Separate account assets    3,688,327        3,688,327    4,078,427    4,078,427 
    Liabilities:                     
       Policyholder dividends    14,186        14,186    12,555    12,555 
       Separate account liabilities    3,686,705        3,686,705    4,075,675    4,075,675 
       Payable for securities    -        -    10,039    10,039 

    The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto:

    Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

    Bonds and equity securities: The fair values for bonds, preferred stocks and common stocks reported herein are based on quoted market prices, where available. For securities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placements, are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows. The discount rates used vary as a function of factors such as yield, credit quality, and maturity, which fall within a range between 3.4% and 13.0% over the total portfolio. Fair values determined on this basis can differ from values published by the SVO. Fair value as determined by the SVO as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 is $13.9 billion and $13.8 billion, respectively.

    Mortgage loans: Estimated market values for commercial real estate loans were generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Loans in good standing are discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on December 31

    39


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    and spreads applied on new loans with similar characteristics. The amortizing features of all loans are incorporated in the valuation. Where data on option features is available, option values are determined using a binomial valuation method, and are incorporated into the mortgage valuation. Restructured loans are valued in the same manner; however, these loans were discounted at a greater spread to reflect increased risk. All residential loans are valued at their outstanding principal balances, which approximate their fair values.

    Residual collateralized mortgage obligations: Residual collateralized mortgage obligations are included in the other invested assets balances. Fair values are based on independent pricing sources.

    Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for on-balance sheet derivative financial instruments (caps, options and floors) and off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments (swaps) and forwards are based on broker/dealer valuations or on internal discounted cash flow pricing models taking into account current cash flow assumptions and the counterparties’ credit standing.

    Investment in surplus notes: Estimated fair values in surplus notes were generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows were discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on December 31 and spreads applied on surplus notes with similar characteristics.

    Guaranteed investment contracts: The fair values of the Company’s guaranteed investment contracts are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations, based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.

    Other investment–type insurance contracts: The fair values of the Company’s deferred annuity contracts are estimated based on the cash surrender values of the contracts. The carrying values of other policyholder liabilities, including individual and group annuities, policyholder dividends and deposit-type contracts, approximate their fair values.

    The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximates their fair value.

    14. Commitments and Contingencies

    The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such

    40


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

    Guarantee Agreement: The Company, effective January 2002, entered into a Guarantee Agreement with two other ING affiliates whereby it is jointly and severally liable for a $250.0 obligation of another ING affiliate, Security Life of Denver International Limited (“SLDI”). The Company’s Board of Directors approved this transaction on April 25, 2002. The two other affiliated life insurers were Security-Connecticut Life Insurance Company (subsequently merged into the Company on October 1, 2003), and Security Life of Denver Insurance Company. The joint and several guarantees of the two remaining insurers are capped at $250.0.

    Investment Purchase Commitments

    As part of its overall investment strategy, the Company has entered into agreements to purchase securities of $122.4 and $119.2 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company is also committed to provide additional capital contributions of $166.4 and $61.3 in limited partnerships at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

    Operating Leases

    The Company leases office space under various noncancelable operating lease agreements that expire through April 2014. Rental expense for 2006 and 2005 was approximately $10.7 and $10.0, respectively.

    Future minimum aggregate rental commitments under operating leasing arrangements as of December 31, 2006, are as follows:

    Year ending     
    December 31    Commitments 


        (In Thousands) 
    2007    $ 6,896 
    2008    6,525 
    2009    2,396 
    2010    457 
    2011    198 
    Thereafter    20 

    Certain rental commitments have renewal options extending through the year 2014 subject to adjustments in future periods.

    Lessor Leases

    The Company owns or leases numerous sites that are leased or subleased to franchisees. Buildings owned or leased that meet the criteria for operating leases are carried at the

    41


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    gross investment in the lease less unearned income. Unearned income is recognized in such a manner as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment. The typical lease period is 20 years and some leases contain renewal options. The franchisee is responsible for the payment of property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs related to the leased property. The cost of these properties are $147.2 at December 31, 2006, with accumulated depreciation of $83.7.

    Future minimum lease payment receivables under noncancelable operating leasing arrangements as of December 31, 2006 are as follows:

    Year ending    Future minimum Lease 
    December 31    Payment Receivables 


        (In Thousands) 
    2007    $ 11,670 
    2008    10,007 
    2009    6,036 
    2010    3,235 
    2011    1,946 
    Thereafter    3,225 

    Contingent rentals included in income for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $11.5 and $11.9, respectively. The net investment is classified as real estate.

    Legal Proceedings

    The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

    Regulatory Matters

    As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

    42


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
    (Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters

    The New York Attorney General, other federal and state regulators and self-regulatory agencies are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices; specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. The Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request for information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the Company. These initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged. In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

    Investment Product Regulatory Issues

    Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

    In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

    The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of ING, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in reports previously filed by affiliates of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

    Action may be taken by regulators with respect to the Company or certain affiliates before investigations relating to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company or certain affiliates to adverse

    22. September 11 Events

    The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (the September 11 events), resulted in a tremendous loss of life and property. Secondarily, those events interrupted the business activities of many entities and disrupted the U.S. economy at many levels. In the past, businesses have incurred losses as a result of catastrophes such as earthquakes, hurricanes and even other terrorist attacks. However, the September 11 events are unprecedented in the United States in terms of the magnitude of the losses incurred and the number of entities affected. The following disclosures relating to the September 11 events are required:

    As of December 31, 2006, the Company had estimated gross reinsurance claims of approximately $125.8 for personal accident coverage, $181.7 for workers compensation coverage and retrocession recoveries of $105.5 for net incurred claims of $202.0 from the events of September 11, 2001. The remaining retrocession recoveries at December 31, 2006 were approximately $19.4.

    As of December 31, 2005, the Company had estimated gross reinsurance claims of approximately $124.7 for personal accident coverage, $192.2 for workers compensation coverage and retrocession recoveries of $103.4 for net incurred claims of $213.5 from the events of September 11, 2001. The remaining retrocession recoveries at December 31, 2005 were approximately $17.5.

    The Company notes that uncertainty remains regarding claim submissions and the number of occurrences from the events of September 11, 2001, but has recorded its best estimate as the current claim reserve reported as of December 31, 2006.

    The September 11, 2001 impact is based on Company estimates using information obtained from ceding companies and an external consultant. It is reasonably possible that a change in the Company’s estimate will occur in the near term but the possible range of change cannot be determined.

    The Company does not have any environmental remediation obligations.
