SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS

AND

PROSPECTUS

 

 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and its Variable Annuity Account I

Supplement dated January 3, 2006

 

This supplement amends certain information contained in the most recent variable annuity contract prospectus. Please read it carefully and keep it with your variable annuity contract prospectus for future reference.

______________________________________________________________________

 

The "Regulatory Matters" sub-section of the prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

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.

 

Fund 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, revenue sharing and directed brokerage, compensation, sales practices and suitability, arrangements with service providers, pricing, compliance and controls, and adequacy of disclosure.

 

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund regulatory 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 affiliates of the Company, 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 Company reports previously filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

As previously reported, ING Funds Distributors, LLC ("IFD"), the distributor of certain ING Funds (U.S.) and an affiliate of the Company, received notice from the staff of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") that the staff made a preliminary determination to recommend disciplinary action against IFD and one of its registered persons for violations of the NASD Conduct Rules and federal securities laws in connection with certain frequent trading arrangements.

 

In September of 2005 IFD settled an administrative proceeding with the NASD regarding these arrangements. Under the terms of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC") with the NASD, under which IFD neither admitted nor denied the allegations or findings, IFD consented to the following sanctions: (i) a censure; (ii) a fine of $1.5 million; (iii) restitution of approximately $1.44 million to certain ING Funds (U.S.) for losses attributable to excessive trading described in the AWC; and (iv) agreement to make certification to the NASD regarding the review and establishment of certain procedures. IFD's settlement of this administrative proceeding is not material to the Company.

Other regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Attorney General, are also likely to take some action with respect to certain ING affiliates before concluding their investigation of ING relating to fund trading. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject 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 its employees 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.

 

Other Regulatory Matters

 

The New York Attorney General and other regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives, potential conflicts of interest, potential anti-competitive activity, marketing practices, certain financial reinsurance arrangements, and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these investigations will further broaden before the investigations are concluded. U.S. affiliates of ING have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request for information.

 

These initiatives 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.

(formerly known as Variable Annuity Account I, a separate account of ING Insurance
Company of America)

CONTRACT PROSPECTUS - JANUARY 3, 2006

Contracts. The contracts described in this prospectus are group deferred variable and fixed annuity contracts issued by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the Company). Prior to January 1, 2006, the contracts were issued by ING Insurance Company of America ("IICA"). On December 31, 2005, IICA merged with and into ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, and ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company assumed responsibility for all of IICA's obligations under the contracts. See "Other Topics - The Company" for information about the merger of IICA with and into the Company. The contracts are intended to be used as funding vehicles for certain types of retirement plans that qualify for beneficial tax treatment and/or provide current income reduction under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Tax Code).

Why Reading This Prospectus is Important. Before you participate in a contract through your retirement plan, you should read this prospectus. It provides facts about the contract and its investment options. Plan sponsors (generally your employer or a trust) should read this prospectus to help determine if the contract is appropriate for their plan. Keep this document for future reference.

Table of Contents ... page 3

Investment Options. The contracts offer variable investment options and a fixed interest option. When we establish your account(s), the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, instructs us to direct account dollars to any of the available options. Some investment options may be unavailable through certain contracts and plans, or in some states.

Variable Investment Options. These options are called subaccounts. The subaccounts are within Variable Annuity Account I (the separate account or Variable Annuity Account I), a separate account of the Company. Each subaccount invests in one of the mutual funds (funds) listed on the next page. Earnings on amounts invested in a subaccount will vary depending upon the performance and fees of its underlying fund. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds.

Fixed Interest Option. Fixed Plus Account

Except as specifically mentioned, this prospectus describes only the variable investment options. However, we describe the Fixed Plus Account in an appendix to this prospectus.

Risks Associated with Investing in the Funds. Information about the risks of investing in the funds is located in the "Investment Options" section of this prospectus on page 15 and in each fund prospectus. Read this prospectus in conjunction with the fund prospectuses, and retain the fund prospectuses for future reference.

CONTRACT OVERVIEW

Questions: Contacting the Company. Contact your local representative or write or call the USFS Customer Service Center:


ING
USFS Customer Service
Defined Contribution Administration, TS21
151 Farmington Avenue
Hartford, CT 06156-1277
1-800-262-3862

Sending forms and written requests in good order.

If you are writing to change your beneficiary, request a withdrawal, or for any other purpose, contact your local representative or the Company to learn what information is required in order for the request to be in "good order."

Generally, a request is considered to be in "good order" when it is signed, dated and made with such clarity and completeness that we are not required to exercise any discretion in carrying it out.

We can only act upon written requests that are received in good order.

 

The following is a summary. Please read each section of this prospectus for additional information.

 

Who's Who

 

You (the participant): The individual who participates in the contract through a retirement plan.

 

Plan Sponsor: The sponsor of your retirement plan. Generally, your employer or a trust.

 

Contract Holder: The person to whom we issue the contract. Generally, the plan sponsor.

 

We (the Company): ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. We issue the contract.

 

USFS Customer Service Center: The location to which all inquiries, transactions and requests should be addressed. The address is: ING USFS Customer Service, Defined Contribution Administration, TS21, 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, CT 06156-1277.

 

For greater detail please review "Contract Ownership and Rights" and "Contract Purchase and Participation."

 

The Contract and Your Retirement Plan

Retirement Plan (plan): A plan sponsor has established a plan for you. This contract is offered as a funding option for that plan. We are not a party to the plan.

Plan Type: We refer to the plan by the Tax Code section under which it qualifies. For example: a "403(b) plan" is a plan that qualifies for tax treatment under Tax Code section 403(b). To learn which Tax Code section applies to your plan, contact your plan sponsor, your local representative or the Company.

 

Use of an Annuity Contract in your Plan. Under the federal tax laws, earnings on amounts held in annuity contracts are generally not taxed until they are withdrawn. However, in the case of a qualified retirement account (such as a 403(b) retirement plan), an annuity contract is not necessary to obtain this favorable tax treatment and does not provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already available to the tax qualified account itself. However, annuities do provide other features and benefits (such as the option of lifetime income phase options at established rates) which may be valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with your financial representative taking into account the additional fees and expenses you may incur in an annuity. See "Contract Purchase and Participation."

Contract Rights

Rights under the contract, and who may exercise those rights, may vary by plan type. Also, while the contract may reserve certain rights for the contract holder, the contract holder may permit you to exercise those rights through the plan.

Contract Facts

Free Look/Right to Cancel: Contract holders may cancel the contract no later than 10 days after they receive the contract (or a longer period if required by state law). Participants in 403(b) plans or in some 401(a) plans may cancel their participation in the contract no later than 10 days after they receive evidence of participation in the contract (or a longer period if required by state law). See "Right to Cancel."

Death Benefit: A beneficiary may receive a benefit in the event of your death during both the accumulation and income phases. The availability of a death benefit during the income phase depends upon the income phase payment option selected. See "Death Benefit" and "The Income Phase."

Withdrawals: During the accumulation phase, the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, may withdraw all or part of your account value. The Tax Code may impose restrictions on withdrawals from plans, which may vary. In addition, the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, may have the right to withdraw all or part of your account value during the income phase. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to tax withholding and taxation. See "Withdrawals," "Taxation," and "The Income Phase."

Systematic Distribution Options: These allow the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, to receive regular payments from your account, while retaining the account in the accumulation phase. See "Systematic Distribution Options."

Fees: Certain fees are deducted from your account value. In addition, we reserve the right to deduct premium taxes from your account value or from payments to the account at any time, but not before there is a tax liability under state law. See "Fee Table" and "Fees."

Taxation: Amounts you receive in a distribution will be generally included in your gross income and will be subject to taxation. Tax penalties may apply in some circumstances. See "Taxation."

Contract Phases

I. The Accumulation Phase (accumulating retirement benefits)

STEP 1: You or the contract holder provide ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company with your completed enrollment materials.


According to the plan, we set up one or more accounts for you. We may set up account(s) for employer contributions and/or for contributions from your salary.

We currently do not impose an administrative expense charge; however, we reserve the right to charge not more than 0.25% on an annual basis from the subaccounts. See "Fees - Administrative Expense Charge."

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the funds that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. The minimum and maximum expenses listed below are based on expenses for the funds' most recent fiscal year ends without taking into account any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements that may apply.

Hypothetical Examples

The following Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include the maximum separate account annual expenses, and the fund fees and expenses as described below.

 

Example 1: The following Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of any of the funds as listed in the "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" column in the Fund Expense Table above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

1 Year

3 Years

5 Years

10 Years

$293

$898

$1,528

$3,223

 

Example 2: The following Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated.

5 Years

10 Years

$155

$480

$829

$1,813

 

Fees Deducted by the Funds

Using this Information. The following table shows the investment advisory fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses including service fees (if applicable) charged annually by each fund. See the "Fees" section of this prospectus, and the fund prospectus for additional information.

How Fees are Deducted. Fees are deducted from the value of the fund shares on a daily basis, which in turn will affect the value of each subaccount on a daily basis. The fees and expense information shown in the following table was provided by the funds. The column labeled "Fees and Expenses Waived or Reimbursed" shows only contractual waivers or reimbursements that continue through at least May 1, 2006. Except as noted below, the following figures are a percentage of the average net assets of each fund, and are based on figures for the year ended December 31, 2004. There is no guarantee that actual expenses will be the same as those shown in the table.

Footnotes to "Fund Expense Table"

(1)

The Company may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds' affiliates based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one fund company to another. For certain funds, some of this compensation may be paid out of 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in this Fund Expense Table and the fund prospectuses. The Company may also receive additional compensation from certain funds for administrative, recordkeeping or other services provided by the Company to the funds or the funds' affiliates. These additional payments may also be used by the company to finance distribution. These additional payments are made by the funds or the funds' affiliates to the Company and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fees and expenses shown. See "Fees - Fund Fees and Expenses" for additional information.

(2)

In the case of fund companies affiliated with the Company, where the Company or an affiliated investment adviser employs subadvisers to manage the funds, no payments are made to the Company or the affiliated investment adviser by the subadvisers. Subadvisers may provide reimbursement for employees of the Company or its affiliates to attend business meetings or training conferences. The investment management fee shown in the fee table is apportioned between the Company or other affiliated investment adviser and subadviser. This apportionment varies by subadviser, resulting in varying amounts of revenue retained by the investment adviser, including the Company. This apportionment of the investment advisory fee does not increase, directly or indirectly, the fees and expenses shown. See "Fees - Fund Fees and Expenses" for additional information.

(3)

The Fund's advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of Series I shares to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items as discussed in the fund's prospectus) of Series I shares to 1.30% of average daily net assets for each series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds. The expense limitation agreements are in effect through April 30, 2006. Please refer to the fund's prospectus for more detailed information. In addition, effective July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006, the fund's advisor has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% of its Management Fees for AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund (Series I).

(4)

Expenses are based on expenses for the Portfolio's most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Management fees include the Subadvisory fees paid by the Advisor ("Calvert"), to the Subadvisors, and the administrative fee paid by the Portfolio to Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of Calvert.

Annual fund operating expenses shown in the table are annualized based on the fund's fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. 12b-1 fees may not exceed 0.50% for Class R-4 of the class' average net assets annually. A portion of the fund's expenses may be used to pay third parties (including affiliates of the fund's investment adviser) that provide recordkeeping services to retirement plans invested in the fund.

(6)

Expense information listed is for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. The management fees shown in the table have been restated to reflect current fees. The Fund's investment advisor may voluntarily waive its fees and/or reimburse the Fund for certain of its expenses in order to reduce expense ratios. The Fund's investment advisor may cease these voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements at any time. Expenses listed do not reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Including current voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses were 1.36% for Class A.

(7)

Effective April 8, 2005, Rule 12b-1 fees for Class A shares of the fund will be paid at a rate of 0.25% of the fund's average daily net assets.

(8)

While the maximum amount payable under the Fund's class rule 12b-1 plan is 0.35% per year of the Fund's class average annual net assets, the Board has set the current rate at 0.25% per year.

(9)

The manager had agreed in advance to reduce its fee to reflect reduced services resulting from the fund's investment in a Franklin Templeton money fund. This reduction is required by the fund's Board of Trustees and an exemptive order by the SEC. The Fund's fiscal year end is April 30.

The amounts shown are estimated operating expenses for Class S shares of each Portfolio as a ratio of expenses to average daily net assets based on each Portfolio's actual operating expenses for Class S shares for its most recently completed fiscal year, as adjusted for contractual changes, if any, and fee waivers to which Directed Services, Inc. (DSI) as adviser to each Portfolio, has agreed for each Portfolio for the current fiscal year. Other Expenses for each Portfolio include a Shareholder Services fee of 0.25%. Effective March 1, 2004, the management fee structure for ING JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio was revised. Through a "bundled fee" arrangement, DSI, the Trust's manager, is paid a single fee for advisory, administrative, custodial, transfer agency, auditing and legal services necessary for the ordinary operation of the Portfolios. The Portfolios would also bear any extraordinary expenses.

(12)

A portion of the brokerage commissions that the ING Alliance Mid Cap Growth, ING JPMorgan Small Cap Equity, ING Legg Mason Value, ING Marsico Growth, ING Oppenheimer Main Street, ING T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation and ING Van Kampen Growth and Income Portfolios pay is used to reduce each Portfolio's expenses. Including these reductions the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for each Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2004 would have been 0.97%, 1.12%, 1.06%, 1.00%, 0.86%, 0.90% and 0.90%, respectively. This arrangement may be discontinued at any time.

(13)

Rowe Price Diversified Mid Cap Growth Portfolio and ING Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio.

Without this waiver, the Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses would be 1.65% for ING American Century Small Cap Value, 1.50% for ING Baron Small Cap Growth and 1.20% for ING Van Kampen Comstock Portfolios. In addition, effective June 1, 2005, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, the Portfolio's investment adviser, has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the management fee for ING Van Kampen Comstock Portfolio. Based upon net assets as of December 31, 2004, the management fee waiver for the Portfolio would equal 0.02%. This expense waiver will continue through at least May 1, 2006. There is no guarantee that this waiver will continue after this date.

(16)

The amounts shown are estimated operating expenses for Class S shares of each Portfolio as a ratio of expenses to average daily net assets.

Other Expenses for each Portfolio include a Shareholder Services fee of 0.25%. Through a "bundled fee" arrangement, DSI, the Trust's manager, is paid a single fee for advisory, administrative, custodial, transfer agency, auditing and legal services necessary for the ordinary operation of the Portfolios. The Portfolios would also bear any extraordinary expenses.

(17)

Directed Services, Inc. (DSI), the adviser, has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the management fee for the Portfolio.

The amounts shown are estimated operating expenses for Class S shares of each Portfolio as a ratio of expenses to average daily net assets. Operating expenses for each Portfolio are estimated as they had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2004. Other Expenses for each Portfolio include a Shareholder Services fee of 0.25%. Pursuant to its administration agreement with the Trust, ING Funds Services, LLC may receive an annual administration fee equal to 0.10% of average daily net assets for this Portfolio. Other Expenses for each Portfolio are estimated because the Portfolio did not have a full calendar year of operations as of December 31, 2004 (the Portfolio's fiscal year end).

(19)

Directed Services, Inc. (DSI), the adviser, has entered into a written expense limitation agreement with respect to these Portfolios under which it will limit expenses of these Portfolios, excluding taxes, brokerage and extraordinary expenses, subject to possible recoupment by DSI within three years. The amount of these Portfolios' expenses that are proposed to be waived or reimbursed in the ensuing fiscal year is shown under the heading Fees and Expenses Waived or Reimbursed. The expense limitation agreement will continue through at least May 1, 2006. For further information regarding the expense limitation agreements, see the Fund's prospectus.

The Portfolio is structured as a fund of funds, and invests directly in shares of underlying funds. See "Fees - Fund Fees and Expenses" for additional information. The table reflects net operating expenses paid directly and indirectly by each Portfolio. Other Expenses include a Shareholder Services fee of 0.25%. Shareholders of a Portfolio will indirectly bear the expenses of an Underlying Fund based upon the percentage of a Portfolio's assets that is allocated to the Underlying Fund. Because the annual net operating expenses of each Underlying Fund, and a Portfolio's allocation to that Underlying Fund, will vary from year to year, the expenses paid by a Portfolio may vary from year to year. These expense ratios are estimates based on the target allocations among the Underlying Funds based upon information in the fee tables of their prospectuses, which in turn, are based on financial results for the year ended December 31, 2004. For information regarding expenses of the Underlying Funds, see the Fund's prospectus. Other Expenses are estimated for each Portfolio's current fiscal year. Operating expenses are shown without allocations to the Fixed Account. Estimated net operating expenses for the Service Class shares including allocations to the Fixed Account would be 0.83% for ING Solution Income Portfolio; 0.96% for ING Solution 2015 Portfolio; 1.06% for ING Solution 2025 Portfolio; 1.14% for ING Solution 2035 Portfolio; and 1.17% for ING Solution 2045. See the Fund's prospectus for further information regarding investment into the Fixed Account and expenses including the Fixed Account.

ING Investments, LLC has entered into a written expense limitation agreement with ING Variable Products Trust under which it will limit expenses of the Portfolios, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage and extraordinary expenses, subject to possible recoupment by ING Investments, LLC within three years. The amount of each Portfolio's expenses waived, reimbursed or recouped during the last fiscal year by ING Investments, LLC is shown under the heading Fees and Expenses Waived or Reimbursed. The amount of expenses proposed to be waived during the current fiscal year by ING Investments, LLC for ING VP Financial Services Portfolio and ING VP Real Estate Portfolio, are shown under the heading Fees and Expenses Waived or Reimbursed. For each Portfolio, the expense limits will continue through at least May 1, 2006. For further information regarding the expense limitation agreements, see the Fund's prospectus.

ING Investments, LLC, the investment adviser to each Portfolio, has entered into written expense limitation agreements with each Portfolio under which it will limit expenses of the Portfolios, excluding interest, brokerage and extraordinary expenses, subject to possible recoupment by ING Investments, LLC within three years. The amount of each Portfolio's expenses waived, reimbursed or recouped during the last fiscal year is shown under the heading Fees and Expenses Waived or Reimbursed. Recoupments are shown as negative numbers under Fees and Expenses Waived or Reimbursed. The expense limits will continue through at least May 1, 2006. For further information regarding the expense limitation agreements, see the Fund's prospectus.

(29)

Annual fund operating expenses shown in the table are based on the fund's fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. 12b-1 fees may not exceed 0.50% for Class R-4 of the class' average net assets annually. A portion of the fund's expenses may be used to pay third parties (including affiliates of the fund's investment adviser) that provide recordkeeping services to retirement plans invested in the fund.

(30)

The fund's investment adviser is waiving a portion of its management fees. Figures shown reflect the waiver. Please see the fund's prospectus or annual report for details. The reimbursement for Class R-4 shares did not change the net expenses reported in the table for these share classes.

(31)

The fees and expenses in the table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. Expenses may vary in future years. Other Expenses include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays. The Other Expenses in the table are based on, among other things, the fees the Fund would have paid if the transfer agent had not waived a portion of its fee under a voluntary undertaking to the Fund to limit these fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year. That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

(32)

Other Expenses reflect an administrative fee of 0.25% and a service fee of 0.15%. PIMCO has contractually agreed, for the Portfolio's current fiscal year (12/31), to reduce total annual portfolio operating expenses for the Administrative Class shares to the extent they would exceed, due to the payment of Trustees' fees, 0.65% of average daily net assets. Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, which renews annually unless terminated by PIMCO upon 30 days' notice, PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements in future periods, not exceeding three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expenses limit. Ratio of net expenses to average net assets excluding interest expense is 0.65%.

(33)

The Fund's fiscal year end is August 31.

(34)

Annual fund operating expenses shown in the table are based on the fund's fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. 12b-1 fees may not exceed 0.50% for Class R-4 of the class' average net assets annually. A portion of the fund's expenses may be used to pay third parties (including affiliates of the fund's investment adviser) that provide recordkeeping services to retirement plans invested in the fund.

(35)

Management fees have been restated to reflect contractual changes to the management fee for the Fund as of February 10, 2005. Previously, the Adviser had waived a portion of its fees so that those fees were retained at the following rate: 0.85%. The fee waiver was effective as of February 10, 2005 but applied as if it had gone into effect on December 1, 2004. If the fee waiver had not been implemented as noted, actual expenses of the Fund would be as follows: management fee, 0.95%; other expenses, 0.15%; and total operating expenses, 1.10%.

(36)

The Adviser has undertaken to limit Wanger Select's annual expenses to 1.35% of its average net assets. This expense limitation is contractual and will terminate on April 30, 2006.

(37)

Management fees have been restated to reflect contractual changes to the management fee for the Fund as of February 10, 2005. Previously, the Adviser had waived a portion of its fees so that those fees were retained at the following rates: 0.99% of net assets up to $100 million; 0.94% of the next $150 million; and 0.89% of net assets in excess of $250 million. The fee waiver was effective as of February 10, 2005 but applied as if it had gone into effect on December 1, 2004. If the fee waiver had not been implemented as noted, actual expenses of the Fund would be as follows: management fee, 0.92%; other expenses, 0.08%; and total operating expenses, 1.00%.

(38)

Annual fund operating expenses shown in the table are annualized based on the fund's fiscal year ended April 30, 2004. 12b-1 fees may not exceed 0.50% for Class R-4 of the class' average net assets annually. A portion of the fund's expenses may be used to pay third parties (including affiliates of the fund's investment adviser) that provide recordkeeping services to retirement plans invested in the fund.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Understanding Condensed Financial Information. In Appendix IV we provide condensed financial information about the Variable Annuity Account I (the separate account) subaccounts you may invest in through the Contract. The numbers show the year-end unit values in each subaccount from the date of first availability.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

The contract offers variable investment options and a fixed interest option. When we establish your account(s), the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, instructs us to direct account dollars to any of the available options.

Variable Investment Options. These options are called subaccounts. The subaccounts are within Variable Annuity Account I (the separate account), a separate account of the Company. Earnings on amounts invested in the subaccount will vary depending upon the performance and fees of its underlying fund. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds.

Fund Descriptions. We provide brief descriptions of the funds in Appendix III. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for additional information. Fund prospectuses may be obtained, free of charge at the telephone number listed in "Contract Overview - Questions," by accessing the SEC's web site, or by contacting the SEC Public Reference Branch.

Fixed Interest Option. For a description of the Fixed Plus Account, see Appendix I.

Selecting Investment Options

  • Choose options appropriate for you. Your local representative can help you evaluate which investment options may be appropriate for your financial goals.
  • Understand the risks associated with the options you choose. Some subaccounts invest in funds that are considered riskier than others. Funds with additional risks are expected to have a value that rises and falls more rapidly and to a greater degree than other funds. For example, funds investing in foreign or international securities are subject to additional risks not associated with domestic investments, and their performance may vary accordingly. Also, funds using derivatives in their investment strategy may be subject to additional risks.
  • Be informed. Read this prospectus, the fund prospectuses and the Fixed Plus Account appendix.

Limits on Option Availability. Some investment options may not be available through certain contracts and plans or in some states. We may add, withdraw or substitute investment options, subject to the conditions in the contract and in compliance with regulatory requirements. In the case of a substitution, the new fund may have different fees and charges than the fund it replaced.

Limits on Number of Options Selected. Generally, the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, may select no more than 18 investment options at one time during the accumulation phase of your account. If you have an outstanding loan (403(b) and some 401(a) plans only), you may currently make a total of 18 cumulative selections over the life of the account. Each subaccount and the Fixed Plus Account counts toward these limits. If you have a loan on the account, each option counts toward the limit, even after the full value is transferred to other options.

Limits Imposed by Underlying Funds. Orders for the purchase of fund shares may be subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right to reject, without prior notice, any allocation of a purchase payment to a subaccount if the subaccount's investment in its corresponding fund is not accepted by the fund for any reason.

Additional Risks of Investing in the Funds.

Insurance-Dedicated Funds. (Mixed and Shared Funding) Most of the funds described in this prospectus are available only to insurance companies for their variable contracts. Such funds are often referred to as "insurance-dedicated funds," and are used for "mixed" and "shared" funding.

"Mixed funding" occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccounts buy for variable annuity contracts, are bought for variable life insurance contracts issued by us or other insurance companies.

"Shared funding" occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccounts buy for variable annuity contracts, are also bought by other insurance companies for their variable annuity contracts.

  • Mixed-bought for annuities and life insurance

  • Shared-bought by more than one company
  • Public Funds. The following funds, which the subaccounts buy for variable annuity contracts, are also available to the general public:

    • EuroPacific Growth FundÒ (Class R-4)
    • Evergreen Special Values Fund (Class A)
    • Hibernia Mid Cap Equity Fund (Class A)
    • New Perspective FundÒ (Class R-4)
    • Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund (Class A)
    • Templeton Global Bond Fund (Class A)
    • The Growth Fund of AmericaÒ (Class R-4)
    • Washington Mutual Investors FundSM (Class R-4)

    Possible Conflicts of Interest. With respect to the insurance-dedicated funds and the public funds, it is possible that a conflict of interest may arise due to mixed and shared funding. Such a conflict could adversely impact the value of a fund. For example, if a conflict of interest occurred and one of the subaccounts withdrew its investment in a fund, the fund may be forced to sell its securities at disadvantageous prices, causing its share value to decrease. Each insurance-dedicated fund's board of directors or trustees will monitor events in order to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts which may arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken to address such conflicts. With respect to both the public funds and the insurance-dedicated funds, in the event of a conflict, the Company will take any steps necessary to protect contract holders and annuitants maintaining a voting interest in the funds, including the withdrawal of Variable Annuity Account I from participation in the funds which are involved in the conflict.

    TRANSFERS

    Transfers Among Investment Options. During the accumulation phase and the income phase, the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, may transfer amounts among investment options. Transfers from the Fixed Plus Account are restricted as outlined in Appendix I and the contract. Transfers may be requested in writing, by telephone or, where available, electronically. Transfers must be made in accordance with the terms of the contract.

    Value of Transferred Dollars. The value of amounts transferred in or out of subaccounts will be based on the subaccount unit values next determined after we receive your request in good order at our USFS Customer Service Center, or if you are participating in the dollar cost averaging program, after your scheduled transfer.

    Telephone and Electronic Transfers: Security Measures. To prevent fraudulent use of telephone or electronic transactions, (including, but not limited to, internet transactions), we have established security procedures. These include recording calls on our toll-free telephone lines and requiring use of a personal identification number (PIN) to execute transactions. You are responsible for keeping your PIN and account information confidential. If we fail to follow reasonable security procedures, we may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone or other electronic transactions. We are not liable for losses resulting from following telephone or electronic instructions we believe to be genuine. If a loss occurs when we rely on such instructions, you will bear the loss.

    Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers. The contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent trading. Frequent trading can disrupt management of a fund and raise its expenses through: 1) increased trading and transaction costs; 2) forced and unplanned portfolio turnover; 3) lost opportunity costs; and 4) large asset swings that decrease the fund's ability to provide maximum investment return to all contract holders and participants. This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies and make frequent transfers should not purchase the contract.

    We monitor transfer activity. With regard to frequent transfers, in the event that an individual's or organization's transfer activity:

    1) exceeds our then-current monitoring standard for frequent trading;

    2) is identified as problematic by an underlying fund even if the activity does not exceed our monitoring standard for frequent trading; or

    3) if we determine in our sole discretion that such transfer activity may not be in the best interests of other contract holders or participants,

    we will take the following actions to deter such transfer activity. Upon the first violation, we will send a one time warning letter. A second violation will result in the suspension of trading privileges via facsimile, telephone, email and internet, and limit trading privileges to submission by regular U.S. mail for a period of six months. At the end of that period, trading privileges will be reinstated. If there is another violation after such rights are reinstated, we will suspend such privileges permanently. We will notify you in writing if we take any of these actions.

    Additionally, if such transfer activity is initiated by a market-timing organization or individual or other party authorized to give transfer instructions on behalf of multiple contract owners or participants, we will also take the following actions, without prior notice: (1) not accepting transfer instructions from an agent acting on behalf of more than one contract holder or participant; and (2) not accepting preauthorized transfer forms from market timers or other entities acting on behalf of more than one contract holder or participant at a time.

    Our current definition of frequent 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 and transfers involving certain de minimis amounts when determining whether trading activity is excessive. We reserve the right to modify our general standard, or the standard as it may apply 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 contract holders, participants and fund investors and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify such standard, it will be applied uniformly to all contract holders and participants or, as applicable, to all contract holders and participants investing in the underlying fund.

    In addition, if, due to the excessive dollar amounts of trades, even though not within our then current definition of frequent trading, an individual's or organization's transfer activity is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive, we will take the same actions as are described above to limit frequent transfers.

    The Company does not allow waivers to the above policy. 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.

    Limits Imposed by Underlying Funds. Orders for the purchase of fund shares may be subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right to reject, without prior notice, any allocation of a purchase payment to a subaccount if the subaccount's investment in its corresponding fund is not accepted by the fund for any reason.

    The Dollar Cost Averaging Program. Certain contracts allow you to participate in our dollar cost averaging program. There is no additional charge for this service. Dollar cost averaging is a system of investing that buys fixed dollar amounts of an investment at regular intervals, regardless of price. Our program transfers, at regular intervals, a fixed dollar amount to one or more subaccounts that you select. Dollar cost averaging neither ensures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market. You should consider your financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels. For additional information about this program, contact your local representative or call the Company at the number listed in "Contract Overview-Questions."

    CONTRACT PURCHASE AND PARTICIPATION

    Contracts Available for Purchase. The contracts available for purchase are group deferred variable annuity contracts that the Company offers in connection with plans established by eligible organizations under Tax Code sections 401(a) and 403(b).

    Purchasing the Contract.

    1.

    The contract holder submits the required forms and application to the Company.

    2.

    We approve the forms and issue a contract to the contract holder.

    Participating in the Contract.

    1.

    We provide you with enrollment materials for completion and return to us (occasionally enrollment is conducted by someone unaffiliated with us who is assisting the contract holder).

    2.

    If your enrollment materials are complete and in good order, we establish one or more accounts for you. Under certain plans we establish an employee account for contributions from your salary and an employer account for employer contributions.

    Acceptance or Rejection. We must accept or reject an application or your enrollment materials within two business days of receipt. If the forms are incomplete, we may hold any forms and accompanying purchase payments for five business days, unless you consent to our holding them longer. Under limited circumstances, we may also agree, for a particular plan, to hold purchase payments for longer periods with the permission of the contract holder.

If we reject the application or enrollment, we will return the forms and any purchase payments.

    Methods of Purchase Payment. The contract may allow one or more of the following purchase payment methods:

    • Lump-sum payments-A one-time payment to your account in the form of a transfer from a previous plan; and/or

    • Installment payments-More than one payment made over time to your account.

    The plan and the contract may have certain rules or restrictions that apply to use of these two methods. For example, we may require that installment payments meet certain minimums.

    Allocation of Purchase Payments. The contract holder or you, if the contract holder permits, directs us to allocate initial contributions to the investment options available under the plan. Generally, you will specify this information on your enrollment materials. After your enrollment, changes to allocations for future purchase payments or transfer of existing balances among investment options may be requested in writing and, where available, by telephone or electronically. Allocations must be in whole percentages, and there may be limitations on the number of investment options that can be selected. See "Investment Options" and "Transfers."

    Tax Code Restrictions. The Tax Code places some limitations on contributions to your account. See "Taxation."

    Factors to Consider in the Purchase Decision. The decision to purchase or participate in the contract should be discussed with your financial representative, making sure that you understand the investment options it provides, its other features, the risks and potential benefits you will face, and the fees and expenses you will incur. You should pay attention to the following issues, among others:

    (1)

    Long-Term Investment - This contract is a long-term investment, and is typically most useful as part of a personal retirement plan. The value of deferred taxation on earnings grows with the amount of time funds are left in the contract. You should not participate in this contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or expect to need to make withdrawals before you are 59 1/2.

    (2)

    Investment Risk - The value of investment options available under this contract may fluctuate with the markets and interest rates. You should not participate in this contract in order to invest in these options if you cannot risk getting back less money than you put in.

    (3)

    Features and Fees - The fees for this contract reflect costs associated with the features and benefits it provides. As you consider this contract, you should determine the value that these various benefits and features have for you, given your particular circumstances, and consider the charges for those features.

    (4)

    Exchanges - If this contract will be a replacement for another annuity contract or mutual fund option under the plan, you should compare the two options carefully, compare the costs associated with each, and identify additional benefits available under this contract. You should consider whether these additional benefits justify any increased charges that might apply under this contract. Also, be sure to talk to your financial professional or tax adviser to make sure that the exchange will be handled so that it is tax-free.

    Other Products. We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than these contracts that may offer some or all of the same funds. These products have different benefits, fees and charges, and may offer different share classes of the funds offered in this contract that are less expensive. These other products may or may not better match your needs. You should be aware that there are alternative options available, and, if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact your registered representative. These alternative options may not be available under your plan.

     

    CONTRACT OWNERSHIP AND RIGHTS

    Who Owns the Contract? The contract holder. This is the person or entity to whom we issue the contract.

    Who Owns Money Accumulated Under the Contract? Under the contract, we may establish one or more accounts for you. Generally, we establish an employee account to receive salary reduction and rollover amounts and an employer account to receive employer contributions. You have the right to the value of your employee account and any employer account to the extent that you are vested under the plan as interpreted by the contract holder.

    Who Holds Rights Under the Contract? The contract holder holds all rights under the contract. The contract holder may permit you to exercise some of those rights. For example, the contract holder may allow you to choose investment options. For additional information about the respective rights of the contract holder and participants, see Appendix II.

    RIGHT TO CANCEL

    When and How to Cancel. If the contract holder chooses to cancel a contract, we must receive the contract and a written notice of cancellation within 10 days (or a longer period if required by state law) after the contract holder's receipt of the contract.

    If you wish to cancel participation in the contract and are allowed to do so under the contract and the plan, you must send the document evidencing your participation and a written notice of cancellation to the Company within 10 days (or a longer period if required by state law) after you receive confirmation of your participation in the contract.

    Refunds. We will produce a refund not later than seven calendar days after we receive the required documents and written notice in good order at our USFS Customer Service Center. The refund will equal amounts contributed to the contract or account(s), as applicable, plus any earnings or less any losses attributable to the investment options in which amounts were invested. Any mortality and expense risk charges and administrative expense charges (if any) deducted during the period you held the contract will not be returned. In certain states, we are required to refund contributions. When a refund of contributions is not required, the investor bears any investment risk.

    FEES

     

     

    The following repeats and adds to information provided in the "Fee Table" section. Please review both this section and the "Fee Table" section for information on fees.

    Types of Fees

    There are certain types of fees or charges which you may incur under the contract:

    • Maximum Transaction Fees
    • Redemption Fees
    • Fees Deducted from the Subaccounts
    • Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
    • Administrative Expense Charge
    • Fund Fees and Expenses
    • Premium and Other Taxes

    Maximum Transaction Fees

    Redemption Fees

    If applicable, we may deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by the underlying mutual funds as a result of withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions you initiate. Redemption fees, if any, are separate and distinct from any transaction charges or other charges deducted from your contract value.

    Fees Deducted from the Subaccounts

    Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

    Maximum Amount. 1.00% annually of your account value invested in the subaccounts during the accumulation phase and 1.25% annually of your account value invested in the subaccounts during the income phase.

    When/How. This fee is deducted daily from the subaccounts. We do not deduct this from the Fixed Plus Account.

    Purpose. This fee compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the contracts.

     

     

    • The mortality risks are those risks associated with our promise to make lifetime payments based on annuity rates specified in the contracts and our funding of the death benefits and other payments we make to owners or beneficiaries of the accounts.

     

     

    • The expense risk is the risk that the actual expenses we incur under the contracts will exceed the maximum costs that we can charge.

     

     

    If the amount we deduct for this fee is not enough to cover our mortality costs and expenses under the contracts, we will bear the loss. We may use any excess to recover distribution costs relating to the contract and as a source of profit. We expect to make a profit from this fee.

     

     

    Reduction. We may reduce the mortality and expense risk charge from the maximum when the plan meets certain criteria and we agree to the reduction with the contract holder in writing. Some contracts have a reduced mortality and expense risk charge only during the accumulation phase of the account which then increases during the income phase (but not beyond the maximum amount). Any reduction will reflect differences in expenses for administration based on such factors as:

     

     

    • The expected level of assets under the plan (under some contracts, we may aggregate accounts under different contracts issued by the Company to the same contract holder);

     

     

     

     

     

     

    PRO. -06

    21

     

     

    • The size of the prospective group, projected annual number of eligible participants and the program's participation rate;

  • The plan design (for example, the plan may favor stability of invested assets and limit the conditions for withdrawals, loans and available investment options, which in turn lowers administrative expenses);
  • The frequency, consistency and method of submitting payments and loan repayments;
  • The method and extent of onsite services we provide and the contract holder's involvement in services such as enrollment and ongoing participant services;
  • The contract holder's support and involvement in the communication, enrollment, participant education and other administrative services;
  • The projected frequency of distributions; and
  • The type and level of other factors that affect the overall administrative expense.
  • We will determine any reduction of mortality and expense risk on a basis that is not unfairly discriminatory according to our rules in effect at the time a contract application is approved. We reserve the right to change these rules from time to time.

    Administrative Expense Charge

    Maximum Amount. We currently do not impose this fee. However, we reserve the right to charge an administrative expense charge of up to 0.25% annually of your account value invested in the subaccounts.

    When/How. If charged, this fee is deducted daily from the subaccounts. We will not deduct this from the Fixed Plus Account. This fee may be assessed during the accumulation phase and the income phase. If we are imposing this fee under the contract issued in connection with your plan when you enter the income phase, the fee will apply to you during the entire income phase.

    Purpose. This fee helps defray our administrative expenses that cannot be covered by the mortality and expense charge described above. The fee is not intended to exceed our average expected cost of administering the contracts. We do not expect to make a profit from this fee.

    Reduction. If we charge the administrative expense charge, we may reduce it from the maximum when the plan meets certain criteria and we agree to the reduction with the contract holder, in writing. The level of the fee may be reassessed and increased or decreased at each contract anniversary as the characteristics of the group change.

    Fund Fees and Expenses

    As shown in the Fund Expense Table which begins of on page 8 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 contract owner or participant services provided on behalf of the fund. Furthermore, certain funds 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 varying levels of revenue from each of the funds available through the contract. In terms of total dollar amounts received, the greatest amount of revenue generally comes from assets allocated to funds managed by Company affiliates (including but not limited to ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Investments, LLC and Directed Services, Inc.), which funds may or may not also be subadvised by a 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 generally generate the least amount of revenue.

    Types of Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds

    Affiliated funds are (a) funds managed by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Investments, LLC, Directed Services, Inc. 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 which are subadvised by unaffiliated third parties.

    Revenues received by the Company from affiliated funds include:

    • Service fees that are deducted from fund assets and included within the "Other Expenses" column of the Fund Expense Table; and

    • 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 disclosed in the "12b-1 Fees" column of the Fund Expense Table.

    Additionally, the Company receives other revenues from affiliated funds which may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the Company or a percentage of the management fees shown in the Fund Expense Table. These revenues may be received as cash payments or according to a variety of financial accounting techniques which 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.

    Types of Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds

    Revenues 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. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the Fund Expense Table; and

    • Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services which we provide to the funds or their affiliates or as an incentive for us to make the funds available through the contract. These additional payments are not disclosed in the Fund Expense Table and do not increase directly or indirectly the fees and expenses shown in the Fund Expense Table. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the contract.

    The following table shows the sixteen unaffiliated fund families and/or investment management groups which have funds currently offered through the contract, ranked according to the total amount they paid to the Company or its affiliates in 2004, in connection with the registered variable annuity contracts issued by the Company:

    1. Janus Funds

    2. Fidelity Investments

    3. OppenheimerFunds

    4. AIM Investments

    5. Lord Abbett Funds

    6. Calvert Funds

    7. FranklinTempleton Investments

    8. Pioneer Investments

    9. Evergreen Investments

    10. American Funds

    11. Pax World Funds

    12. American Century Investments

    13. PIMCO Funds

    If the revenues received from affiliated funds were included in the table above, payments from ING Investments, LLC and other Company affiliates would be at the top of the list.

    Please note 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.

    Certain funds may be structured as fund of funds (including ING Solution portfolios). These may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities. The Fund Expense Table included in the "Fee Table" section reflects the aggregate annual operating expenses of each portfolio and its corresponding underlying fund or funds. These funds are identified in the "Fund Expense Table" and on the front page of this prospectus.

    Premium and Other Taxes

    Maximum Amount. Some states and municipalities charge a premium tax on annuities. These taxes currently range from 0% to 4%, depending upon the jurisdiction.

    When/How. We reserve the right to deduct a charge for premium taxes from your account value or from purchase payments to the account at any time, but not before there is a tax liability under state law. For example, we may deduct a charge for premium taxes at the time of a complete withdrawal or we may reflect the cost of premium taxes in our income phase payment rates when you commence income phase payments. We will not deduct a charge for municipal premium tax of 1% or less, but we reserve the right to reflect such an expense in our annuity purchase rates.

    In addition, the Company reserves the right to assess a charge for any federal taxes due against the separate account. See "Taxation."

    YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE

    During the accumulation phase, your account value at any given time equals:

    • Account dollars directed to the Fixed Plus Account, including interest earnings to date; less

  • Any deductions from the Fixed Plus Account (e.g. withdrawals); plus
  • The current dollar value of amounts held in the subaccounts, which takes into account investment performance and fees deducted from the subaccounts.
  • Subaccount Accumulation Units. When a fund is selected as an investment option, your account dollars invest in "accumulation units" of the Variable Annuity Account I subaccount corresponding to that fund. The subaccount invests directly in the fund shares. The value of your interests in a subaccount is expressed as the number of accumulation units you hold multiplied by an "Accumulation Unit Value," as described below, for each unit.

    Accumulation Unit Value (AUV). The value of each accumulation unit in a subaccount is called the accumulation unit value or AUV. The value of accumulation units vary daily in relation to the underlying fund's investment performance. The value also reflects deductions for fund fees and expenses, the mortality and expense risk charge, and the administrative expense charge (if any). We discuss these deductions in more detail in "Fee Table" and "Fees."

    Valuation. We determine the AUV every business day after the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). At that time, we calculate the current AUV by multiplying the AUV last calculated by the "net investment factor" of the subaccount. The net investment factor measures the investment performance of the subaccount from one valuation to the next.

    Current AUV = Prior AUV x Net Investment Factor

    Net Investment Factor. The net investment factor for a subaccount between two consecutive valuations equals the sum of 1.0000 plus the net investment rate.

     

    PRO. -06

    24

     

     

    Net Investment Rate. The net investment rate is computed according to a formula that is equivalent to the following:

    • The net assets of the fund held by the subaccount as of the current valuation; minus

    • The net assets of the fund held by the subaccount at the preceding valuation; plus or minus

    • Taxes or provisions for taxes, if any, due to subaccount operations (with any federal income tax liability offset by foreign tax credits to the extent allowed);

    • Divided by the total value of the subaccount's units at the preceding valuation;

    • Minus a daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk charge and the administrative expense charge, if any. See "Fees."

    The net investment rate may be either positive or negative.

    Hypothetical Illustration. As a hypothetical illustration, assume that an investor contributes $5,000 to his account and directs us to invest $3,000 in Fund A and $2,000 in Fund B. After receiving the contribution and following the next close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), the applicable AUV's are $10 for Subaccount A, and $25 for Subaccount B. The investor's account is credited with 300 accumulation units of subaccount A and 80 accumulation units of subaccount B.

    Step 1: An investor contributes $5,000.


    Step 2:

    A. He directs us to invest $3,000 in Fund A. His dollars purchase 300 accumulation units of Subaccount A ($3,000 divided by the current $10 AUV).

    B. He directs us to invest $2,000 in Fund B. His dollars purchase 80 accumulation units of Subaccount B ($2,000 divided by the current $25 AUV).


    Step 3: The separate account then purchases shares of the applicable funds at the current market value (net asset value or NAV).

    Fund B

    The fund's subsequent investment performance, expenses and charges, and the daily charges deducted from the subaccount, will cause the AUV to move up or down on a daily basis.

    Purchase Payments to Your Account. If all or a portion of initial purchase payments are directed to the subaccounts, they will purchase subaccount accumulation units at the AUV next computed after our acceptance of the applicable application or enrollment forms, as described in "Contract Purchase and Participation." Subsequent purchase payments or transfers directed to the subaccounts that we receive in good order by the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange will purchase subaccount accumulation units at the AUV computed after the close of the Exchange on that day. The value of subaccounts may vary day to day.

    WITHDRAWALS

    Deductions for Taxes

    Amounts withdrawn may be subject to redemption fees, tax penalties and withholding. See "Taxation." To determine which may apply, refer to the appropriate sections of this prospectus, contact your local representative or call the Company at the number listed in "Contract Overview- Questions."

    Making a Withdrawal. Subject to limitations on withdrawals from the Fixed Plus Account and other restrictions (see "Withdrawal Restrictions" below), the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, may withdraw all or a portion of your account value at any time during the accumulation phase.

    Steps for Making a Withdrawal. The contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, must:

    Select the withdrawal amount.

      • Full Withdrawal: You will receive, reduced by any required withholding tax, your account value allocated to the subaccounts, plus the amount available for withdrawal from the Fixed Plus Account.

      • Partial Withdrawal (Percentage or Specified Dollar Amount): You will receive, reduced by any required withholding tax, the amount you specify, subject to the value available in your account. The amount available from the Fixed Plus Account may be limited.

    For a description of limitations on withdrawals from the Fixed Plus Account, see Appendix I.

      • Select investment options. If this is not specified, we will withdraw dollars in the same proportion as the values you hold in the various investment options from each investment option in which you have an account value.

      • Properly complete a disbursement form and submit it to the USFS Customer Service Center.

    Calculation of Your Withdrawal. We determine your account value every normal business day after the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). We pay withdrawal amounts based on your account value either:

    (1) As of the next valuation date after we receive a request for withdrawal in good order at our USFS Customer Service Center; or

    (2) On such later date as specified on the disbursement form.

    Delivery of Payment. Payments for withdrawal requests will be made in accordance with SEC requirements. Normally, we will send your payment not later than seven calendar days following our receipt of your disbursement form in good order.

    Reinvestment Privilege. The contracts allow a one-time use of a reinvestment privilege. Within 30 days after a full withdrawal, if allowed by law, you may elect to reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds. We must receive reinvested amounts within 60 days of the withdrawal. We will credit the account for the amount reinvested based on the subaccount values next computed following our receipt of your request and the amount to be reinvested. We will reinvest in the same investment options and proportions in place at the time of withdrawal. Seek competent advice regarding the tax consequences associated with reinvestment.

    Withdrawal Restrictions. Some plans may have other limits on withdrawals, other than or in addition to those listed below.

      • Section 403(b)(11) of the Tax Code prohibits withdrawals under 403(b) contracts prior to your death, disability, attainment of age 59 1/2, severance from employment, or financial hardship, of the following: (1) Salary reduction contributions made after December 31, 1988 and; (2) Earnings on those contributions and earnings on amounts held before 1989 and credited after December 31, 1988 (these amounts are not available for hardship withdrawals).

    • The contract may require that the contract holder certify that you are eligible for the distribution.

     

    LOANS

    Availability. If allowed by the contract and the plan, you may take out a loan from your account value during the accumulation phase. Some contracts restrict loans from your employer account. Loans are only allowed from amounts allocated to certain subaccounts and the Fixed Plus Account. Additional restrictions may apply under the Tax Code or due to our administrative practices. We reserve the right not to grant a loan request if the participant has an outstanding loan in default.

    Requests. If you are eligible to obtain a loan, you may request one by properly completing the loan request form and submitting it to our USFS Customer Service Center. Read the terms of the loan agreement before submitting any request.

    Loan Interest. Interest will be applied on loan amounts. The difference between the rate applied and the rate credited on the loans under your contract is currently 2.5% (i.e., a 2.5% loan interest rate spread). We reserve the right to apply a loan interest rate spread of up to 3.0%.

    SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS

    Features of a Systematic

    Distribution Option

    If available under your plan, a Systematic Distribution Option allows you to receive regular payments from your account without moving into the income phase. By remaining in the

    accumulation phase, you retain certain rights and investment flexibility not available during

    the income phase. Because the account remains in the accumulation phase, all accumulation phase charges continue to apply.

    Availability of Systematic Distribution Options. These options may be exercised at any time during the accumulation phase of the contract. To exercise one of these options the account value must meet any minimum dollar amount and age criteria applicable to that option. To determine what systematic distribution options are available, check with the contract holder or the Company. The Company reserves the right to discontinue the availability of one or all of the systematic distribution options at any time, and/or to change the terms for future elections.

    Systematic distribution options currently available under the contract include the following:

      • SWO-Systematic Withdrawal Option. SWO is a series of partial withdrawals from your account based on a payment method you select. It is designed for those who want a periodic income while retaining accumulation phase investment flexibility for amounts accumulated under the account. (This option may not be available if you have an outstanding loan.)
      • ECO-Estate Conservation Option. Also allows you to maintain the account in the accumulation phase and provides periodic payments designed to meet the Tax Code's minimum distribution requirement. Under ECO, the Company calculates the minimum distribution amount required by law at age 70 1/2 (for certain plans, 70 1/2 or retirement, if later) and pays you that amount once a year.
      • Other Systematic Distribution Options may be available from time to time. Additional information relating to any of the systematic distribution options may be obtained from your local representative or from the Company's USFS Customer Service Center.

    Electing a Systematic Distribution Option. The contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, makes the election of a systematic distribution option. For some contracts, the contract holder must provide the Company with certification that the distribution is in accordance with terms of the plan.

    Terminating a Systematic Distribution Option. Once you elect a systematic distribution option, you may revoke it at any time through a written request to our USFS Customer Service Center. Once revoked, an option may not be elected again until the next calendar year, nor may any other systematic distribution option be elected, unless the Tax Code permits it.

    Tax Consequences. Withdrawals received through these options and revocations of elections may have tax consequences. See "Taxation."

    DEATH BENEFIT

     

     

    The contract provides a death benefit in the event of your death, which is payable to the beneficiary named under the contract (contract beneficiary). The contract holder must be named as the contract beneficiary, but may direct that we make any payments to the beneficiary you name under the plan (plan beneficiary).

    During the Income Phase

    This section provides information about the accumulation phase. For death benefit information applicable to the income phase, see "The Income Phase."

    During the Accumulation Phase

    Payment Process

    1. Following your death, the contract beneficiary (on behalf of the plan beneficiary, if applicable) must provide the Company with proof of death acceptable to us and a payment request in good order.

    2. The payment request should include selection of a benefit payment option.

     

     

    3. Within seven calendar days after we receive proof of death acceptable to us and payment request in good order at our USFS Customer Service Center, we will mail payment, unless otherwise requested.

     

     

    Until one of the benefit payment options listed below is selected, account dollars will remain invested as at the time of your death, and no distributions will be made.

     

     

    Benefit Payment Options. The following payment options are available, if allowed by the Tax Code:

     

     

      • Lump-sum payment;

     

     

      • Payment under an available income phase payment option (see "Income Phase-Payment Options"); and

     

     

      • If the contract beneficiary or plan beneficiary is your spouse, payment under an available Systematic Distribution Option (not available under all plans).

     

     

    Unless the beneficiary elects otherwise, lump-sum payments will generally be made into an interest bearing account that is backed by our general account. This account can be accessed by the beneficiary through a checkbook feature. The beneficiary may access death benefit proceeds at any time through the checkbook without penalty. Interest credited under this account may be less than under other settlement options.

     

     

    The account value may also remain invested in the contract, however, the Tax Code limits how long the death benefit proceeds may be left in this option.

     

     

    Death Benefit Calculation. The death benefit will be based on your account value. The death benefit is calculated as of the next time we value your account following the date on which we receive proof of death and payment request in good order. In addition to this amount, some states require we pay interest on amounts invested in the Fixed Plus Account, calculated from date of death at a rate specified by state law.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    PRO. -06

    29

     

     

    The contracts provide a guaranteed death benefit if the contract beneficiary (on behalf of the plan beneficiary, if applicable) elects a lump-sum distribution or an income phase payment option within six months of your death. The guaranteed death benefit is the greater of:

    (a)

    Your account value on the day that notice of death and request for payment are received in good order at our USFS Customer Service Center; or

    (b)

    The sum of payments (minus any applicable premium tax) made to your account, minus withdrawals made from your account and any outstanding loan amount.

    Tax Code Requirements. The Tax Code requires distribution of death benefit proceeds within a certain period of time. Failure to begin receiving death benefit payments within those time periods can result in tax penalties. Regardless of the method of payment, death benefit proceeds will generally be taxed to the beneficiary in the same manner as if you had received those payments. See "Taxation" for additional information.

     

    THE INCOME PHASE

    During the income phase you receive payments from your accumulated account value.

    Initiating Income Phase Payments. At least 30 days prior to the date you want to start receiving payments, the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, must notify us in writing of the following:

      • Start date;

      • Income phase payment option (see the income phase payment options table in this section);

      • Income phase payment frequency (i.e., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually);

      • Choice of fixed or variable income phase payments;

      • Selection of an assumed net investment rate (only if variable income phase payments are elected); and

      • Under some plans, certification from your employer and/or submission of the appropriate forms is also required.

    The account will continue in the accumulation phase until the contract holder or you, as applicable, properly initiate income phase payments. Once an income phase payment option is selected, it may not be changed; however, certain options allow you to withdraw a lump sum.

    What Affects Income Phase Payment Amounts? Some of the factors that may affect income phase payment amounts include: your age, your account value, the income phase payment option selected, number of guaranteed payments (if any) selected, and whether you select variable or fixed payments.

    Fixed Income Phase Payments. Amounts funding fixed income phase payments will be held in the Company's general account. Fixed payments will remain the same over time.

    Variable Income Phase Payments. Amounts funding your variable income phase payments will be held in the subaccount(s) selected. Some contracts may restrict the subaccounts available, the number of investment options to be selected and how many transfers, if any, are allowed among options during the income phase. For variable payments, an assumed net investment rate must be selected.

    Income Phase Payments from Fixed Plus Account Values. If a nonlifetime income phase payment option is selected, payment of amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account during the accumulation phase may only be made on a fixed basis.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    PRO. -06

    30

     

     

    Assumed Net Investment Rate. If you select variable income phase payments, an assumed net investment rate must also be selected. If you select a 5% rate, your first payment will be higher, but subsequent payments will increase only if the investment performance of the subaccounts you selected is greater than 5% annually, after deduction of fees. Payment amounts will decline if the investment performance is less than 5%, after deduction of fees.

    If you select a 3 1/2% rate, your first income phase payment will be lower and subsequent payments will increase more rapidly or decline more slowly depending upon the investment performance of the subaccounts you selected.

    For more information about selecting an assumed net investment rate, request a copy of the Statement of Additional Information by calling us. See "Contract Overview-Questions."

    Selecting an Increasing Payment. Under certain income phase payment options, if you select fixed payments, you may elect an increase of one, two, or three percent, compounded annually. The higher your percentage, the lower your initial income phase payment will be, while future payments will increase each year at a greater rate.

    Generally, this feature is not available with cash refund payment options and nonlifetime options.

    Charges Deducted

      • When you select an income payment phase option (one of the options listed in the tables immediately below), a mortality and expense risk charge, consisting of a daily deduction of 1.25% on an annual basis, will be deducted from amounts held in the subaccounts. This charge compensates us for mortality and expense risks we assume under variable income phase payout options and is applicable to all variable income phase payout options, including variable nonlifetime options under which we do not assume mortality risk. In this situation, this charge will be used to cover expenses. Although we expect to make a profit from this fee, we do not always do so. For variable options under which we do not assume a mortality risk, we may make a larger profit than under other options.

    • We may also deduct a daily administrative charge from amounts held in the subaccounts. We are not currently deducting this charge, but reserve the right to do so in the future. The maximum amount is 0.25% on an annual basis of your account value invested in the subaccount. If we are imposing this fee under the contract issued in connection with your plan when you enter the income phase, the fee will apply throughout the entire income phase.

    Required Minimum Payment Amounts. The initial income phase payment or the annual income phase payment total must meet the minimums stated in the contract. If your account value is too low to meet these minimum payment amounts, you will receive one lump-sum payment.

    Death Benefit During the Income Phase. The death benefits that may be available to a beneficiary are outlined in the income phase payment option table below. If a lump-sum payment is due as a death benefit, we will make payment within seven calendar days after we receive proof of death acceptable to us in good order and the payment request at our USFS Customer Service Center.

    Unless the beneficiary elects otherwise, lump-sum payments will generally be made into an interest bearing account that is backed by our general account. This account can be accessed by the beneficiary through a checkbook feature. The beneficiary may access death benefit proceeds at any time through the checkbook without penalty. Interest credited under this account may be less than under other settlement options.

    Taxation. To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any beneficiary must meet the distribution rules imposed by the Tax Code. See "Taxation."

    Nonlifetime-

    Guaranteed

    Payments*

    Length of Payments: Payments will continue for the number of years you choose, based on what is available under the contract. For amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account during the accumulation phase, the income phase payment must be on a fixed basis. In certain cases a lump-sum payment may be requested at any time (see below).

    Death Benefit-Payment to the Beneficiary: If the annuitant dies before we make all the guaranteed payments, any remaining guaranteed payments will continue to the beneficiary unless the beneficiary elects to receive the present value of the remaining guaranteed payments in a lump sum.

    Lump-Sum Payment: If the Nonlifetime-Guaranteed Payments option is elected with variable payments, you may request at any time that all or a portion of the present value of the remaining payments be paid in one lump sum. Lump-sum payments will be sent within seven calendar days after we receive the request for payment in good order at the USFS Customer Service Center.

    Calculation of Lump-Sum Payments: If a lump-sum payment is available to a beneficiary or to you in the options above, the rate we use to calculate the present value of the remaining guaranteed payments is the same rate we use to calculate the income phase payments (i.e., the actual fixed rate used for the fixed payments, or the 3 1/2% or 5% assumed net investment rate for variable payments).

    *Guaranteed period payments may not extend beyond the shorter of your life expectancy or until your age 95.

    Introduction

      • This section discusses our understanding of current federal income tax laws affecting the contract. You should keep the following in mind when reading it:

      • Your tax position (or the tax position of the designated beneficiary, as applicable) determines federal taxation of amounts held or paid out under the contract.

      • Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could affect contracts issued in the past.

      • This section addresses federal income tax rules and does not discuss federal estate and gift tax implications, state and local taxes or any other tax provisions.

      • We do not make any guarantee about the tax treatment of the contract or transactions involving the contract.

     

    We do not intend this information to be tax advice. For advice about the effect of federal income taxes or any other taxes on amounts held or paid out under the contract, consult a tax adviser. For more comprehensive information contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). No attempt is made to provide more than general information about the use of the contract with tax-qualified retirement arrangements.

    Your Retirement Plan

    The tax rules applicable to retirement plans vary according to plan type, and terms and conditions of the plan. To understand what tax rules apply, you need to know the Tax Code section under which your plan qualifies. Contact your plan sponsor, local representative or the Company to learn which Tax Code section applies to your plan.

    Plan Types. The contract is designed for use with retirement plans that qualify under Tax Code section 401(a) or 403(b). The contract provides the investment options, payout options, and other features described in this prospectus, but does not provide tax benefits beyond those provided by the plan. You will not generally pay taxes on earnings from the annuity contract described in this prospectus until they are withdrawn. Tax-qualified retirement arrangements under Tax Code sections 401(a) or 403(b) also generally defer payment of taxes on earnings until they are withdrawn. (See "Taxation of Distributions" later in this "Taxation" section for a discussion of how distributions under the various types of plans are taxed.) When an annuity contract is used to fund one of these tax-qualified retirement arrangements, you should know that the annuity contract does not provide any additional tax deferral of earnings beyond the tax deferral provided by the tax-qualified retirement arrangement. However, annuities do provide other features and benefits which may be valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with your financial representative.

    Investor Control. The IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner, including participants under Tax Code section 403(b) plans, will be considered the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possesses incidents of investment control over the assets. In these circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be currently includible in the variable contract owner's gross income.

    Future guidance regarding the extent to which owners could direct their investments among subaccounts without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account. It is possible that the Treasury's position, when announced, may adversely affect the tax treatment of existing contracts. The Company therefore reserves the right to modify the contract as necessary to attempt to prevent the owner from being considered the federal tax owner of a pro rata share of the assets of the separate account.

    The Contract and Retirement Plans. Contract holders and contract participants are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions satisfy applicable laws. Legal counsel and a tax adviser should be consulted regarding the suitability of the contract.

    Because the plan is not part of the contract, we are not bound by any of the plan's terms or conditions.

    Withdrawals and Other Distributions

    Certain tax rules apply to distributions from the contract. A distribution is any amount taken from the contract including withdrawals, income phase payments, rollovers and any death benefit.

    We report the taxable portion of all distributions to the IRS.

    Taxation of Distributions

    All distributions from 401(a) and 403(b) plans are taxed as received unless:

      • The distribution is an eligible rollover distribution and it is rolled over to another plan eligible to receive rollovers or to a traditional individual retirement annuity/account (IRA) in accordance with the Tax Code, or

    • You made after-tax contributions to the plan. In this case, depending on the type of distribution, a portion may be excluded from gross income according to rules detailed in the Tax Code.

    Taxation of Death Benefits

    In general, payments received by your designated beneficiaries after your death are taxed in the same manner as if you had received those payments.

    10% Penalty Tax

    The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a 401(a) or 403(b) plan, unless one or more of the following apply:

    (a) You have attained age 59 1/2;

    (b) You have become disabled, as defined in the Tax Code;

    (c) You have died and the distribution is to your beneficiary;

    (d) You have separated from service with the plan sponsor at or after age 55;

    (e) The distribution amount is rolled over into another eligible retirement plan or to an IRA in accordance with the terms of the Tax Code;

    (f) The distribution amount is made in substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life or life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary, and you have had a separation from service with the plan sponsor;

    (g) The distribution is made due to an IRS levy upon your account; or

    (h) The withdrawal amount is paid to an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO).

    In addition, the penalty tax does not apply to the amount of a distribution equal to unreimbursed medical expenses incurred by you during the taxable year that qualify for deduction as specified in the Tax Code. The Tax Code may impose other penalty taxes in other circumstances.

    Withholding for Federal Income Tax Liability

    Any taxable distributions under the contracts are generally subject to withholding. Federal income tax liability rates vary according to the type of distribution and the recipient's tax status.

    Generally, under these plans you or a designated beneficiary may elect not to have tax withheld from distributions. However, certain distributions from these plans are subject to a mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding.

    Non-resident Aliens. If you or a designated beneficiary is a non-resident alien, then any withholding is governed by Tax Code section 1441 based on the individual's citizenship, the country of domicile and treaty status.

    Required Minimum Distributions

    To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any designated beneficiary must meet the required minimum distributions imposed by the Tax Code. These rules dictate the following:

      • Start date for distributions;

    • The time period in which all amounts in your account(s) must be distributed; and

    • Distribution amounts.

    Start Date. Generally, you must begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or retire, whichever occurs later, unless:

      • Under a 401(a) plan, you are a 5% owner, in which case such distributions must begin by April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2; or

    • Under 403(b) plans, the Company maintains records of amounts held as of December 31, 1986. In this case, distribution of these amounts generally must begin by the end of the calendar year in which you attain age 75 or if later, retire. However, if you take any distributions in excess of the minimum required amount, then special rules require that the excess be distributed from the December 31, 1986 balance.

    Time Period. We must pay out distributions from the contract over a period not extending beyond one of the following time periods:

      • Over your life or the joint lives of you and your designated beneficiary; or

    • Over a period not greater than your life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary.

    Distribution Amounts. The amount of each periodic distribution must be calculated in accordance with Tax Code section 401(a)(9).

    50% Excise Tax. If you fail to receive the minimum required distribution for any tax year, a 50% excise tax may be imposed on the required amount that was not distributed.

    Minimum Distribution of Death Benefits. Different distribution requirements apply if your death occurs:

      • On or after you begin receiving minimum distributions under the contract; or

    • Before you begin receiving such distributions.

    If your death occurs on or after you begin receiving minimum distributions under the contract, distributions must be made at least as rapidly as under the method in effect at the time of your death. Tax Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder provide specific rules for calculating the minimum required distributions at your death.

     

     

     

     

     

    PRO. -06

    36

     

     

    Should you die before you begin receiving minimum distributions under the contract, your entire balance must be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the date of your death. For example, if you die on September 1, 2005, your entire balance must be distributed to the designated beneficiary by December 31, 2010. However, if distributions begin by December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death, then payments may be made within one of the following time-frames:

      • Over the life of the designated beneficiary; or

    • Over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary.

    Start Dates for Spousal Beneficiaries. If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, the distribution must begin by the later of the following:

      • December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death; or

    • December 31 of the calendar year in which you would have attained age 70 1/2.

    Rules Specific to Certain Plans

    403(b) Plans

    Under Tax Code section 403(b), contributions made by public school systems or nonprofit healthcare organizations and other Tax Code section 501(c)(3) tax exempt organizations to purchase annuity contracts for their employees are generally excludable from the gross income of the employee. Adverse tax consequences to the plan and/or to you may result if your beneficial interest in the contract is assigned or transferred to any person except to an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order in accordance with Tax Code section 414(p) or to the Company as collateral for a loan.

    Exclusions from Gross Income. In order to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, total annual contributions made by you and your employer cannot exceed, generally, the lesser of 100% of your compensation or $42,000. Compensation means your compensation for the year from the employer sponsoring the plan and, for years beginning after December 31, 1997, includes any elective deferrals under Tax Code section 402(g) and any amounts not includible in gross income under Tax Code sections 125 or 457.

    This limit applies to your contributions as well as to any contributions made by your employer on your behalf. An additional limit specifically limits your salary reduction contributions to a 403(b) plan to generally no more than $14,000 in 2005 and 15,000 in 2006.

    After 2006, contribution limits are subject to annual adjustments for cost-of-living increases. Your own limit may be higher or lower, depending upon certain conditions.

    Payments to your account(s) will be excluded from your gross income only if the plan meets certain nondiscrimination requirements.

    Catch-up Contributions. Notwithstanding the contribution limit provided for above and if allowed by the plan (where applicable), a participant in a 403(b) plan who is at least age 50 by the end of the plan year may contribute an additional amount not to exceed the lesser of:

    (a) The amount provided for in Tax Code Section 414(v)(2)(B) as follows:

      • $4,000 in 2005;

    • $5,000 in 2006 and thereafter; or

     

     

     

     

     

     

    PRO. -06

    37

     

     

    (b) The participant's compensation for the year reduced by any other elective deferrals of the participant for the year.

    An additional catch-up may be available. For advice on using the contribution catch-up provisions, please consult with your tax advisor.

    Restrictions on Distributions. Tax Code section 403(b)(11) restricts the distribution under Section 403(b) contracts of:

      • Salary reduction contributions made after December 31, 1988;

    • Earnings on those contributions; and

    • Earnings during such period on amounts held as of December 31, 1988.

    Distribution of those amounts may only occur upon your death, attainment of age 59 1/2, severance from employment, disability, or financial hardship. Income attributable to salary reduction contributions and credited on or after January 1, 1989 may not be distributed in the case of hardship.

    The Tax Code imposes no restrictions on the distribution of employee after-tax contributions or employer contributions.

    Transfers from 403(b)(7) Custodial Accounts. If, pursuant to Revenue Ruling 90-24, the Company agrees to accept, under any of the contracts, amounts transferred from a Tax Code section 403(b)(7) custodial account, such amounts will be subject to the withdrawal restrictions set forth in Tax Code section 403(b)(7)(A)(ii).

    Taxation of Gains Prior to Distribution. Generally no amounts accumulated under the contract will be taxable prior to the time of actual distribution.

     

    Proposed Regulations. In November, 2004 the Treasury Department proposed regulations which, if finalized, do not take effect until after 2005. These proposed regulations may not be relied upon until they become final. We reserve the right to modify the contracts to comply with these regulations where allowed, or where required by law. The proposed regulations include the ability of a 403(b) plan to be terminated which would entitle a participant to a distribution, a revocation of IRS Revenue Ruling 90-24 which would increase restrictions on a participant's right to transfer his or her 403(b) accounts, the imposition of withdrawal restrictions on non-salary reduction contribution amounts, as well as other changes.

    401(a) Plans

    Tax Code section 401(a) permits certain employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees, and permits self-employed individuals to establish various types of retirement plans for themselves and for their employees. These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the contracts to accumulate retirement savings under the plans.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    PRO. -06

    Assignment or Transfer of Contracts. Adverse tax consequences to the plan and/or to you may result if your beneficial interest in the contract is assigned or transferred to persons other than:

    (1)

    a plan participant as a means to provide benefit payments;

    (2)

    an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order in accordance with Tax Code section 414(p); or

    (3)

    to the Company as collateral for a loan.

    Exclusion From Gross Income. The Tax Code imposes a maximum limit on annual payments to your account(s) that may be excluded from gross income. The employer must calculate this limit under the plan in accordance with Tax Code section 415. This limit is generally the lesser of 100% of your compensation or $42,000. Compensation means your compensation for the year from the employer sponsoring the plan and, for years beginning after December 31, 1997, includes any elective deferrals under Tax Code section 402(g) and any amounts not includible in gross income under Tax Code sections 125 or 457. The limit applies to your contributions as well as any contributions made by your employer on your behalf. Your own limits may be higher or lower, depending on certain conditions. In addition, payments to your account(s) will be excluded from your gross income only if the plan meets certain nondiscrimination requirements.

    Possible Changes in Taxation

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

    Taxation of the Company

    We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. Variable Annuity Account I 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 contracts. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase reserves under the contracts. In addition, any foreign tax credits attributable to the separate account will be first used to reduce any income taxes imposed on the separate 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 separate account and we do not intend to make any provision for such taxes. However, changes in federal tax laws and/or their interpretation may result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the separate account. In this case, we may impose a charge against the separate account (with respect to some or all of the contracts) to set aside provisions to pay such taxes. We may deduct this amount from the separate account, including from your account value invested in the subaccounts.

    CONTRACT DISTRIBUTION

    General. The Company's subsidiary, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, serves as the principal underwriter for the contracts. ING Financial Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is also a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. ING Financial Advisers, LLC's principal office is located at 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06156.

    The contracts are offered to the public by individuals who are registered representatives of ING Financial Advisers, LLC or other broker-dealers which have entered into a selling arrangement with ING Financial Advisers, LLC. We refer to ING Financial Advisers, LLC and the other broker-dealers selling the contracts as "distributors."

    All registered representatives selling the contracts must also be licensed as insurance agents for the Company.

    Broker-dealers which have or may enter into selling agreements with ING Financial Advisers, LLC include the following broker-dealers which are affiliated with the Company:

    Banknorth Investment Group, Inc.

    Baring Investment Services, Inc.

    Compulife Investor Services, Inc.

    Directed Services, Inc.

    Financial Network Investment Corporation

    Granite Investment Services, Inc.

    Guaranty Brokerage Services, Inc.

    ING America Equities, Inc.

    ING Barings Corp.

    ING Direct Funds Limited

    ING DIRECT Securities, Inc.

    ING Financial Partners, Inc.

    ING Funds Distributor, LLC

    Multi-Financial Securities Corporation

    PrimeVest Financial Services, Inc.

    Systematized Benefits Administrators, Inc.

    Registered representatives of distributors who solicit sales of the contracts typically receive a portion of the compensation paid to the distributor in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending upon the agreement between the distributor and the registered representative. This compensation, as well as other incentives or payments, is not paid directly by contract owners or the separate account. We intend to recoup this compensation and other sales expenses paid to distributors through fees and charges imposed under the contracts.

    Commission Payments. Persons who offer and sell the contracts may be paid a commission. The commissions paid on transferred assets and recurring payments made during the first year of the participant account range from 2% to 5%. After the first year of the participant account, renewal commissions up to 0.50% may be paid on recurring payments up to the amount of the previous year's payments, and commissions of up to 2% may be paid on recurring payments in excess of this amount. In addition, the Company may pay an asset based commission ranging up to 0.25%.

    Individual registered representatives may receive all or a portion of compensation paid to their distributor, depending upon the firm's practices. Commissions and annual payments, when combined, could exceed 5% of total premium payments. To the extent permitted by SEC and NASD rules and other applicable laws and regulations, we may also pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash payments or other compensation to distributors, which may require the registered representative to attain a certain threshold of sales of Company products.

    We may also enter into special compensation arrangements with certain distributors based on those firms' aggregate or anticipated sales of the contracts or other criteria. These special compensation arrangements will not be offered to all distributors, and the terms of such arrangements may differ among distributors based on various factors. Any such compensation payable to a distributor will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.

    Some sales personnel may receive various types of non-cash compensation as special sales incentives, including trips, and we may also pay for some sales personnel to attend educational and/or business seminars. Any such compensation will be paid in accordance with SEC and NASD rules. Management personnel of the Company, and of its affiliated broker-dealers, may receive additional compensation if the overall amount of investments in funds advised by the Company or its affiliates meets certain target levels or increases over time. Compensation for certain management personnel, including sales management personnel, may be enhanced if the overall amount of investments in the contracts and other products issued or advised by the Company or its affiliates increases over time. Certain sales management personnel may also receive compensation that is a specific percentage of the commissions paid to distributors or of purchase payments received under the contracts.

    In addition to direct cash compensation for sales of contracts described above, distributors may also be paid additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling contracts to you and other customers. These amounts may include:

     

      • Wholesaling fees calculated as a percentage of the commissions paid to distributors or of purchase payments received under the contracts;

     

      • Marketing allowances;

     

      • Education and training allowances to facilitate our attendance at certain educational and training meetings to provide information and training about our products, including holding training programs at our expense;

     

      • Sponsorship payments to support attendance at meetings by registered representatives who sell our products;

     

      • Reimbursement for the cost of attendance by registered representatives at conventions that we sponsor;

     

      • Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to 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 may be conditioned on contract sales.

     

    We pay 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 contracts.

     

    The following is a list of the top 25 selling firms that, during 2004, received the most compensation, in the aggregate, from us in connection with the sale of registered variable annuity contracts issued by the Company, 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 annuity contracts. It is important for you to know that the payment of volume or sales-based compensation to a distributor or registered representative may provide that registered representative a financial incentive to promote our contracts over those of another Company, and may also provide a financial incentive to promote one of our contracts over another.

    Third Party Compensation Arrangements. Occasionally:

      • Commissions and fees may be paid to distributors affiliated or associated with the contract holder, you and/or other contract participants; and/or

    • The Company may enter into agreements with entities associated with the contract holder, you and/or other participants. Through such agreements, we may pay the entities for certain services in connection with administering the contract.

    In both these circumstances there may be an understanding that the distributor or entities would endorse us as a provider of the contract. You will be notified if you are purchasing a contract that is subject to these arrangements.

    The Company

    ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the Company, we, us, our) issues the contracts described in this prospectus and is responsible for providing each contract's insurance and annuity benefits. We are a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.

    We are a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976 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. Through a merger, our operations include the business of Aetna Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly known as Participating Annuity Life Insurance Company, an Arkansas life insurance company organized in 1954). Prior to May 1, 2002, the Company ws known as Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

    Prior to January 1, 2006, the Contracts were issued by ING Insurance Company of America ("IICA"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On December 31, 2005, IICA merged with and into ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, and ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company assumed responsibility for IICA's obligations under the Contracts. IICA was a life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1990 and redomesticated under the insurance laws of the State of Florida on January 5, 2000. Prior to May 1, 2002, IICA was knows as Aetna Insurance Company of America.

    We are engaged in the business of issuing life insurance and annuities. Our principal executive offices are located at:

    Variable Annuity Account I

     

    Variable Annuity Account I (the "separate account") was established in 1994 as a separate account of ING Insurance Company of America. In connection with the merger of ING Insurance Company of America with and into ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, the separate account was transferred to ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company on December 31, 2005. The separate account retained its name, Variable Annuity Account I. Variable Annuity Account I is a segregated asset account used to fund our variable annuity contracts. The separate account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "40 Act"). It also meets the definition of "separate account" under the federal securities laws.

    The separate account is divided into "subaccounts." These subaccounts invest directly in shares of a corresponding fund.

    Although we hold title to the assets of the separate account, such assets are not chargeable with the liabilities of any other business that we conduct. Income, gains or losses of the separate account are credited to or charged against the assets of the separate account without regard to other income, gains or losses of the Company. All obligations arising under the contracts are obligations of the Company.

     

    Performance Reporting

    We may advertise different types of historical performance for the subaccounts including:

      • Standardized average annual total returns; and

    • Non-standardized average annual total returns.

    We may also advertise certain ratings, rankings or other information related to the Company, the subaccounts or the funds.

    Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate standardized average annual total returns according to a formula prescribed by the SEC. This shows the percentage return applicable to $1,000 invested in the subaccount over the most recent month end, one, five and 10-year periods. If the investment option was not available for the full period, we give a history from the date money was first received in that option under the separate account or from the date the fund was first available under the separate account. As an alternative to providing the most recent month-end performance, we may provide a phone number, website or both where these returns may be obtained.

    We include all recurring charges during each period (e.g., mortality and expense risk charges and administrative expense charges (if any)).

    Non-Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate non-standardized average annual total returns in a similar manner as that stated above, except non-standardized returns may also include monthly, quarterly, year-to-date and three-year periods, and may include returns calculated from the fund's inception date and/or the date the fund was added to the separate account.

    Voting Rights

    Each of the subaccounts holds shares in a fund and each is entitled to vote at regular and special meetings of that fund. Under our current view of applicable law, we will vote the shares for each subaccount as instructed by persons having a voting interest in the subaccount. Generally, under contracts issued in connection with section 403(b) or 401(a) plans, you have a fully vested interest in the value of your employee account, and in your employer account to the extent of your vested percentage in the plan. Therefore, under such plans you generally have the right to instruct the contract holder how to direct us to vote shares attributable to your account. We will vote shares for which instructions have not been received in the same proportion as those for which we received instructions. Each person who has a voting interest in the separate account will receive periodic reports relating to the funds in which he or she has an interest, as well as any proxy materials and a form on which to give voting instructions. Voting instructions will be solicited by a written communication at least 14 days before the meeting.

    The number of votes, whole and fractional, any person is entitled to direct will be determined as of the record date set by any fund in which that person invests through the subaccounts.

      • During the accumulation phase the number of votes is equal to the portion of your account value invested in the fund, divided by the net asset value of one share of that fund.

    • During the income phase the number of votes is equal to the portion of reserves set aside for the contract's share of the fund, divided by the net asset value of one share of that fund.

    Contract Modification

    We may change the tables for determining the amount of income phase payments attributable only to contributions accepted after the effective date of the change, without contract holder consent. Such a change will not become effective earlier than twelve months after (1) the effective date of the contract, or (2) the effective date of a previous change. We will notify the contract holder in writing at least 30 days before the effective date of the change. We may not make contract changes which adversely affect the annuity benefits attributable to contributions already made to the contract.

     

    Legal Matters and Proceedings

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

    We are, or may be in the future, a defendant in various legal proceedings in connection with the normal conduct of our insurance operations. Some of these cases may seek class action status and may include a demand for punitive damages as well as for compensatory damages. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of any existing legal proceeding is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our obligations under the contract.

    ING Financial Advisers, LLC, the principal underwriter and distributor of the contract (the "distributor"), is a party to threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitration that generally arise from the normal conduct of business. Suits against the distributor sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. In a number of pending cases, claims have been made that a former registered representative of the distributor converted client funds to the representatives' personal use. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is not involved in any legal proceeding which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have material adverse effect on its ability to distribute the contract.

    Payment Delay or Suspension

    We reserve the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment of benefits or values under the following circumstances:

    (a)

    On any valuation date when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except customary weekend and holiday closings), or when trading on the Exchange is restricted;

    (b)

    When an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that disposal of securities held in the subaccounts is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for us fairly to determine the value of the subaccount's assets; or

    (c)

    During any other periods the SEC may by order permit for the protection of investors.

    The conditions under which restricted trading or an emergency exists shall be determined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

    Transfer of Ownership; Assignment

    An assignment of a contract will only be binding on us if it is made in writing and sent to us at our USFS Customer Service Center. We will use reasonable procedures to confirm that the assignment is authentic, including verification of signature. If we fail to follow our own procedures, we will be liable for any to you directly resulting from the failure. Otherwise, we are not responsible for the validity of any assignment. The rights of the contract holder and the interest of the annuitant and any beneficiary will be subject to the rights of any assignee we have on our records.

    Account Termination

    Where allowed by state law, we reserve the right to terminate an individual account if the account value is less than $3,500 and this value is not due to negative investment performance. We will notify you or the contract holder 90 days prior to terminating the account.

    Intent to Confirm Quarterly

    We will provide confirmation of scheduled transactions quarterly rather than immediately to the participant.

     

    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.

    APPENDIX I
    FIXED PLUS ACCOUNT

    The Fixed Plus Account is an investment option available during the accumulation phase.

    Amounts allocated to the Fixed Plus Account are held in the Company's general account which supports insurance and annuity obligations.

    Additional information about this option may be found in the contract.

    General Disclosure. Interests in the Fixed Plus Account have not been registered with the SEC in reliance upon exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Disclosure in this prospectus regarding the Fixed Plus Account may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of the statements. Disclosure in this Appendix regarding the Fixed Plus Account has not been reviewed by the SEC.

    Certain Restrictions. We reserve the right to limit investment in or transfers to the Fixed Plus Account. You may not elect certain withdrawal options, including the systematic distribution option, if you have requested a Fixed Plus Account transfer or withdrawal in the prior 12-month period. Under certain emergency conditions, we may defer payment of a withdrawal from the Fixed Plus Account for a period of up to six months or as provided by federal law.

    Interest Rates. The Fixed Plus Account guarantees that amounts allocated to this option will earn the minimum interest rate specified in the contract. We may credit a higher interest rate from time to time, but the rate we credit will never fall below the guaranteed minimum specified in the contract. Among other factors, the safety of the interest rate guarantees depends upon the claims-paying ability of the Company. Amounts applied to the Fixed Plus Account will earn the interest rate in effect at the time money is applied. Amounts in the Fixed Plus Account will reflect a compound interest rate as credited by us. The rate we quote is an annual effective yield.

    Our determination of credited interest rates reflects a number of factors, including mortality and expense risks, interest rate guarantees, the investment income earned on invested assets and the amortization of any capital gains and/or losses realized on the sale of invested assets. Under this option, we assume the risk of investment gain or loss by guaranteeing the amounts you allocate to this option and promising a minimum interest rate and income phase payment.

    Requests for Partial Withdrawals. The contract holder or you, if permitted by the plan, may take up to 20% of the Fixed Plus Account value as a partial withdrawal in each twelve (12) month period. We determine the amount eligible for partial withdrawal as of the date we receive a request for partial withdrawal in good order at our USFS Customer Service Center. The amount allowed for partial withdrawal is reduced by any Fixed Plus Account withdrawals, transfers, loans or amounts applied to income phase payment options made in the prior 12 months. In calculating the 20% limit, we reserve the right to include payments made due to the election of a systematic distribution option.

    Waiver of Partial Withdrawal Limits. We waive the 20% limit if the partial withdrawal is due to the election of an income phase payment option. We also waive the 20% limit for withdrawals due to your death before income phase payments begin. The waiver upon death may only be exercised once, must occur within six months after your date of death and must be made proportionally from all subaccounts and the Fixed Plus Account in which the account was invested.

     

     

     

     

     

    PRO. -06

    46

     

     

    Additionally, we may allow other waivers of the percentage limit on partial withdrawals to participants in certain plans. You can determine what additional waivers, if any, apply to you by referring to the contract or certificate.

    Requests for Full Withdrawals. If the contract holder or you, if allowed by the plan, request a full withdrawal of your account value, we will pay any amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account, with interest, in five annual payments equal to:

      • One-fifth of the Fixed Plus Account value on the day the request is received in good order, reduced by any Fixed Plus Account withdrawals, transfers or amounts used to fund income phase payments or loans made during the prior 12 months;

      • One-fourth of the remaining Fixed Plus Account value 12 months later;

      • One-third of the remaining Fixed Plus Account value 12 months later;

      • One-half of the remaining Fixed Plus Account value 12 months later; and

      • The balance of the Fixed Plus Account value 12 months later.

    Once we receive a request for a full withdrawal, no further withdrawals, loans or transfers will be permitted from the Fixed Plus Account. A full withdrawal may be canceled at any time before the end of the five-payment period.

    Waiver of Full Withdrawal Provisions. We will waive the Fixed Plus Account five-installment payout for full withdrawals made due to one or more of the following:

    (a)

    Due to your death during the accumulation phase; or

    (b)

    Due to the election of an income phase payment option; or

    (c)

    When the Fixed Plus Account value is $3,500 or less and no withdrawals, transfers, loans or elections of income phase payment options have been made from the account within the prior 12 months.

    Additionally, we will waive the five-payment full withdrawal provision due to one or more of the following:

    1.

    Due to financial hardship as defined by the Tax Code and regulations thereunder, if all of the following conditions are met:

      • The hardship is certified by the employer;

      • The amount is paid directly to you; and

      • The amount paid for all withdrawals due to hardship during the previous 12-month period does not exceed 10% of the average value of your account(s) and all other accounts under the relevant contract during that same period.

    2.

    Due to your separation from service with the employer, provided that all the following apply:

      • The withdrawal is due to your separation from service with your employer. Although the Tax Code permits distributions upon a participant's severance from employment, the contracts do not provide for a waiver of the Fixed Plus Account partial withdrawal provision unless the severance from employment would otherwise have qualified as a separation from service under prior IRS guidance;

      • The employer certifies that you have separated from service;

      • The amount withdrawn is paid directly to you; and

      • The amount paid for all partial and full withdrawals due to separation from service during the previous 12-month period does not exceed 20% of the average value of all your account(s) and all other accounts under the relevant contract during that same period.

    3.

    If we terminate your account based on our right to do so for accounts below $3,500.

    4.

    Additionally, we may allow other waivers of the five installment payout for full withdrawals to participants in certain plans. You can determine what additional waivers, if any, apply to you by referring to the contract or certificate.

    Charges. We do not make deductions from amounts in the Fixed Plus Account to cover mortality and expense risks. We consider these risks when determining the credited rate.

    Transfers. The contract holder or you, if allowed by the plan, may transfer 20% of your account value held in the Fixed Plus Account in each rolling 12-month period. We determine the amount eligible for transfer on the day we receive a transfer request in good order at our USFS Customer Service Center. We will reduce amounts allowed for transfer by any Fixed Plus Account withdrawals, transfers, loans or amounts applied to income phase payment options during the prior 12 months. We also reserve the right to include payments made due to the election of any of the systematic distribution options. We will waive the percentage limit on transfers when the value in the Fixed Plus Account is $1,000 or less.

    Income Phase. Amounts accumulating under the Fixed Plus Account can be transferred to subaccounts to fund lifetime variable payments during the income phase. The contracts do not permit Fixed Plus Account values to fund nonlifetime income options with variable payments. Availability of subaccounts may vary during the income phase.

    Contract Loans. If permitted under the plan, loans may be made from account values held in the Fixed Plus Account. See the loan agreement for a description of the amount available and possible consequences upon loan default if Fixed Plus Account values are used for a loan.

    APPENDIX II
    PARTICIPANT APPOINTMENT OF EMPLOYER AS AGENT
    UNDER AN ANNUITY CONTRACT

    The employer has adopted a plan under Internal Revenue Code Sections 403(b) or 401(a) ("Plan") and has purchased an ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("Company") group variable annuity contract ("Contract") as the funding vehicle. Contributions under this Plan will be made by the participant through salary reduction to an Employee Account, and by the employer to an Employer Account.

    By electing to participate in the employer's Plan, the participant voluntarily appoints the employer, who is the Contract Holder, as the participant's agent for the purposes of all transactions under the Contract in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Company is not a party to the Plan and does not interpret the Plan provisions.

    As a participant in the Plan, the participant understands and agrees to the following terms and conditions:

      • The participant owns the value of his/her Employee Account subject to the restrictions of Sections 403(b), or 401(a) and the terms of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the vesting schedule in the Plan and the restrictions of Sections 403(b) or 401(a), the participant has ownership in the value of his/her Employer Account.

    • The Company will process transactions only with the employer's written direction to the Company. The participant will be bound by the employer's interpretation of the Plan provisions and its written direction to the Company.

    • The employer may permit the participant to make investment selections under the Employee Account and/or the Employer Account directly with the Company under the terms of the Contract. Without the employer's written permission, the participant will be unable to make any investment selections under the Contract.

    • On behalf of the participant, the employer may request a loan in accordance with the terms of the Contract and the provisions of the Plan. The Company will make payment of the loan amount directly to the participant. The participant will be responsible for making repayments directly to the Company in a timely manner.

    • In the event of the participant's death, the employer is the named Beneficiary under the terms of the Contract. The participant has the right to name a personal Beneficiary as determined under the terms of the Plan and file that Beneficiary election with the employer. It is the employer's responsibility to direct the Company to properly pay any death benefits.

    OFFERING AND PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS

    The Company's affiliate, ING Financial Advisers, LLC serves as the principal underwriter for the contracts. ING Financial Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is also a member of the NASD, Inc. and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. ING Financial Advisers, LLC's principal office is located at 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06156. The contracts are distributed through life insurance agents licensed to sell variable annuities who are registered representatives of ING Financial Advisers, LLC or of other registered broker-dealers who have entered into sales arrangements with ING Financial Advisers, LLC. The offering of the contracts is continuous. A description of the manner in which contracts are purchased may be found in the prospectus under the sections entitled "Contract Ownership and Rights" and "Your Account Value."

    Compensation paid to the principal underwriter, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, for the years ending December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 amounted to $18,831, $1,250 and $2,742 respectively. These amounts reflect compensation paid to ING Financial Advisers, LLC attributable to regulatory and operating expenses associated with the distribution of all registered variable annuity products issued by Variable Annuity Account I.

    INCOME PHASE PAYMENTS

    When you begin receiving payments under the contract during the income phase (see "Income Phase" in the prospectus), the value of your account is determined using accumulation unit values as of the tenth valuation before the first payment is due. Such value (less any applicable premium tax) is applied to provide payments to you in accordance with the payment option and investment options elected.

    The annuity option tables found in the contract show, for each option, the amount of the first payment for each $1,000 of value applied. Thereafter, the variable payments fluctuate as the annuity unit value(s) fluctuates with the investment experience of the selected investment option(s). The first payment and subsequent payments also vary depending on the assumed net investment rate selected (3.5% or 5% per annum). Selection of a 5% rate causes a higher first payment, but payments will increase thereafter only to the extent that the net investment rate increases by more than 5% on an annual basis. Payments would decline if the rate failed to increase by 5%. Use of the 3.5% assumed rate causes a lower first payment, but subsequent payments would increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur in the net investment rate.

    When the income phase begins, the annuitant is credited with a fixed number of annuity units (which does not change thereafter) in each of the designated investment options. This number is calculated by dividing (a) by (b), where (a) is the amount of the first payment based on a particular investment option, and (b) is the then current annuity unit value for that investment option. As noted, annuity unit values fluctuate from one valuation to the next (see "Your Account Value" in the prospectus); such fluctuations reflect changes in the net investment factor for the appropriate subaccount(s) (with a ten day valuation lag which gives the Company time to process payments) and a mathematical adjustment which offsets the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% or 5% per annum.

    The operation of all these factors can be illustrated by the following hypothetical example. These procedures will be performed separately for the investment options selected during the income phase.

    EXAMPLE:

    Assume that, at the date payments are to begin, there are 3,000 accumulation units credited under a particular contract or account and that the value of an accumulation unit for the tenth valuation prior to retirement was $13.650000. This produces a total value of $40,950.

    4

     

    Assume also that no premium tax is payable and that the annuity table in the contract provides, for the payment option elected, a first monthly variable payment of $6.68 per $1000 of value applied; the annuitant's first monthly payment would thus be 40.950 multiplied by $6.68, or $273.55.

    Assume then that the value of an annuity unit for the valuation on which the first payment was due was $13.400000. When this value is divided into the first monthly payment, the number of annuity units is determined to be 20.414. The value of this number of annuity units will be paid in each subsequent month.

    Suppose there were 30 days between the initial and second payment valuation dates. If the net investment factor with respect to the appropriate subaccount is 1.0032737 as of the tenth valuation preceding the due date of the second monthly income phase payment, multiplying this factor by .9971779* = .9999058^30 (to take into account 30 days of the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% per annum built into the number of Annuity Units determined above) produces a result of 1.000442. This is then multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for the prior valuation ($13.400000 from above) to produce an Annuity Unit value of $13.405928 for the valuation occurring when the second income phase payment is due.

    The second monthly income phase payment is then determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units by the current Annuity Unit value, or 20.414 times $13.405928, which produces a payment of $273.67.

    *If an assumed net investment rate of 5% is elected, the appropriate factor to take into account such assumed rate would be .9959968 = .9998663^30.

    SALES MATERIAL AND ADVERTISING

    We may include hypothetical illustrations in our sales literature that explain the mathematical principles of dollar cost averaging, compounded interest, tax deferred accumulation, and the mechanics of variable annuity contracts.

    We may also discuss the difference between variable annuity contracts and other types of savings or investment products such as personal savings accounts and certificates of deposit. We may distribute sales literature that compares the percentage change in accumulation unit values for any of the subaccounts to established market indices such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average or to the percentage change in values of other management investment companies that have investment objectives similar to the subaccount being compared.

    We may publish in advertisements and reports, the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Duff & Phelps, Standard & Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect our financial strength and/or claims-paying ability. We may also quote ranking services such as Morningstar's Variable Annuity/Life Performance Report and Lipper's Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service (VIPPAS), which rank variable annuity or life subaccounts or their underlying funds by performance and/or investment objective. We may categorize the underlying funds in terms of the assets classes they represent and use such categories in marketing materials for the contracts. We may illustrate in advertisements the performance of the underlying funds, if accompanied by performance which also shows the performance of such funds reduced by applicable charges under the separate account. We may also show in advertisements the portfolio holdings of the underlying funds, updated at various intervals. From time to time, we will quote articles from newspapers and magazines or other publications or reports such as The Wall Street Journal, Money magazine, USA Today and The VARDS Report.

    5

     

    We may provide in advertising, sales literature, periodic publications or other materials information on various topics of interest to current and prospective contract holders. These topics may include the relationship between sectors of the economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets, investment strategies and techniques (such as value investing, market timing, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation, constant ratio transfer and account rebalancing), the advantages and disadvantages of investing in tax-deferred and taxable investments, customer profiles and hypothetical purchase and investment scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement planning, and investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and other financial instruments, including comparison between the contracts and the characteristics of and market for such financial instruments.

    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 audit 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 of 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004, 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 Divisions comprising the ING Insurance Company of America Variable Annuity Account I at December 31, 2004, and 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.

    ING INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

    VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT I

    Notes to Financial Statements

    1. Organization
    2. ING Insurance Company of America Variable Annuity Account I (the "Account") was established by ING Insurance Company of America ("IICA" or the "Company") to support the operations of variable annuity contracts ("Contracts"). The Company is an indirect subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("ING AIH"), an insurance holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware. ING AIH is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.

      The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. IICA provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Contracts by crediting annuity considerations to one or more divisions within the Account or the fixed separate account, which is not part of the Account, as directed by the Contractowners. The portion of the Account's assets applicable to Contracts will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business IICA may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of IICA. The assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of IICA.

      Contracts are identified in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by the qualifiers IICA I, IICA II, and IICA III. IICA I Contracts represent certain individual and group Contracts issued as non-qualified deferred annuity Contracts or Individual Retirement Annuity Contracts issued since June 28, 1995. IICA II Contracts represent certain individual and group Contracts issued as non-qualified deferred annuity Contracts or Individual Retirement Annuity Contracts issued since May 1, 1998. Contracts are no longer sold under qualifiers IICA I and IICA II. IICA III Contracts represent certain group Contracts issued as fund vehicles for Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b) and 401(e) plans issued since September 24, 2000.

      At December 31, 2004, the Account had sixty-two active investment divisions (the "Divisions"), thirty-nine of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and twenty-three of which invest in mutual funds managed by an affiliate, either ING Investments, LLC or ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a designated fund ("Fund") of various investment trusts (the "Trusts"). Investment Divisions at December 31, 2004 and related Trusts are as follows:

      AIM Variable Insurance Funds:

      AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund - Series I Shares

    3. Significant Accounting Policies
    4. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:

      Use of Estimates

      The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Investments

      Investments are made in shares of a Fund and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective Fund. Investment transactions in each Fund are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains from each Fund are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Fund are determined on the specific identification basis. The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

      Federal Income Taxes

      Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of IICA, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the Contractowners are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of IICA.

      48

      ING INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

      VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT I

      Notes to Financial Statements

      Variable Annuity Reserves

      Prior to the annuity date, the Contracts are redeemable for the net cash surrender value of the Contracts. The annuity reserves are recorded in the financial statements at the Contractowners' aggregate account values invested in the Account Divisions. Net assets allocated to Contracts in the payout period are computed according to the 1983a and 1983 Group Annuity Mortality tables using various assumed interest rates. The mortality risk is fully borne by IICA and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Account by IICA to cover greater longevity of Contractowners than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to IICA.

       

    5. Charges and Fees
    6. Under the terms of the Contracts, certain charges are allocated to the Contracts to cover IICA's expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Contracts. Following is a summary of these charges:

      Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

      IICA assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge equal to an annual rate of up to 1.40% of the average daily net asset value of each Division of the Account.

      Administrative Charges

      A daily charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of the assets attributable to the Contracts.

      Premium Taxes

      Various states and other governmental units levy a premium tax on annuity Contracts issued by insurance companies.

    As this investment Division was not available until 2001, this data is not meaningful and therefore is not presented.

    (c)

    As this investment Division was not available until 2003, this data is not meaningful and therefore is not presented.

    (d)

    As this investment Division was not available until 2004, this data is not meaningful and therefore is not presented.

    (e)

    As this investment Division was offered during 2003 but had no investments as of December 31, 2004, this data is not meaningful and therefore is not presented.

    A

    The Investment Income Ratio represents dividends received by the Division, excluding capital gains distributions, divided by the average net assets.

    The recognition of investment income is determined by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Division invests.

    B

    The Expense Ratio considers only the expenses borne directly by the Account and is equal to the mortality and expense charge, as defined in Note 3. Certain

    items in this table are presented as a range of minimum and maximum values; however, such information is calculated independently for each column in the table.

    C

    Total Return is calculated as the change in unit value for each Contract presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Certain items in this

    table are presented as a range of minimum and maximum values; however, such information is calculated independently for each column in the table.

    ING INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

    VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT I

    Notes to Financial Statements

    1. Organization
    2. ING Insurance Company of America Variable Annuity Account I (the "Account") was established by ING Insurance Company of America ("IICA" or the "Company") to support the operations of variable annuity contracts ("Contracts"). The Company is an indirect subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("ING AIH"), an insurance holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware. ING AIH is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.

      The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. IICA provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Contracts by crediting annuity considerations to one or more divisions within the Account or the fixed separate account, which is not part of the Account, as directed by the Contractowners. The portion of the Account's assets applicable to Contracts will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business IICA may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of IICA. The assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of IICA.

      Contracts are identified in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by the qualifiers IICA I, IICA II, and IICA III. IICA I Contracts represent certain individual and group Contracts issued as non-qualified deferred annuity Contracts or Individual Retirement Annuity Contracts issued since June 28, 1995. IICA II Contracts represent certain individual and group Contracts issued as non-qualified deferred annuity Contracts or Individual Retirement Annuity Contracts issued since May 1, 1998. Contracts are no longer sold under qualifiers IICA I and IICA II. IICA III Contracts represent certain group Contracts issued as fund vehicles for Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b) and 401(e) plans issued since September 24, 2000.

      At September 30, 2005, the Account had 63 active investment divisions (the "Divisions"), 29 of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 34 of which invest in mutual funds managed by an affiliate, either ING Investments, LLC or ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a designated fund ("Fund") of various investment trusts (the "Trusts"). Investment Divisions at September 30, 2005 and related Trusts are as follows:

    3. Significant Accounting Policies
    4. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:

      Use of Estimates

      The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Investments

      Investments are made in shares of a Fund and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective Fund. Investment transactions in each Fund are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains from each Fund are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Fund are determined on the specific identification basis. The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

      Federal Income Taxes

      Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of IICA, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the Contractowners are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of IICA.

       

       

      51

      ING INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

      VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT I

      Notes to Financial Statements

      Variable Annuity Reserves

      Prior to the annuity date, the Contracts are redeemable for the net cash surrender value of the Contracts. The annuity reserves are recorded in the financial statements at the Contractowners' aggregate account values invested in the Account Divisions. Net assets allocated to Contracts in the payout period are computed according to the 1983a and 1983 Group Annuity Mortality tables using various assumed interest rates. The mortality risk is fully borne by IICA and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Account by IICA to cover greater longevity of Contractowners than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to IICA.

       

    5. Charges and Fees
    6. Under the terms of the Contracts, certain charges are allocated to the Contracts to cover IICA's expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Contracts. Following is a summary of these charges:

      Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

      IICA assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge equal to an annual rate of up to 1.40% of the average daily net asset value of each Division of the Account.

      Administrative Charges

      A daily charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of the assets attributable to the Contracts.

      Premium Taxes

      Various states and other governmental units levy a premium tax on annuity Contracts issued by insurance companies. If the owner of a Contract lives in a state which levies such a tax, IICA may deduct the amount of the tax from the purchase payments received or the value of the Contract at annuitization.

      Other Charges

      Deductions by the Account for other charges may be made in accordance with the terms of the Contracts and paid to IICA.

    items in this table are presented as a range of minimum and maximum values; however, such information is calculated independently for each column in the table.

    Total Return is calculated as the change in unit value for each Contract presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Certain items in this

    The Board of Directors

    ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. 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 audit 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 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.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

    As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company changed the accounting principle for goodwill and other intangible assets effective January 1, 2002. As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Company restated certain amounts presented in the statements of cash flows related to its payables for securities purchased, short-term borrowings, and investment contracts for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

    Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

    Basis of Presentation

    ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ILIAC"), a stock life insurance company domiciled in the state of Connecticut, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are providers of financial products and services in the United States. These consolidated financial statements include ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ING Insurance Company of America ("IICA"), ING Financial Advisers, LLC ("IFA") and, through February 28, 2002, ING Investment Adviser Holding, Inc. ("IA Holdco"). Until March 30, 2003, ILIAC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Retirement Holdings, Inc. ("HOLDCO"), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Retirement Services, Inc. ("IRSI"). Until March 30, 2003, IRSI was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. ("Lion"), which in turn was ultimately owned by ING Groep N.V. ("ING"). On March 30, 2003, a series of mergers occurred in the following order: IRSI merged into Lion and HOLDCO merged into Lion. As a result, ILIAC is now a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion, which in turn is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING. ING is a global financial services company based in The Netherlands, with American Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ING."

    Description of Business

    The Company offers qualified and nonqualified annuity contracts that include a variety of funding and payout options for individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408 and 457, as well as nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The Company's products are offered primarily to individuals, pension plans, small businesses and employer-sponsored groups in the health care, government, education (collectively "not-for-profit" organizations), and corporate markets. The Company's products generally are distributed through pension professionals, independent agents and brokers, third party administrators, banks, dedicated career agents, and financial planners.

    Annuity contracts may be deferred or immediate (payout annuities). These products also include programs offered to qualified plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans that package administrative and record-keeping services along with a variety of investment options, including affiliated and nonaffiliated mutual funds, and variable and fixed investment options. In addition, the Company offers wrapper agreements entered into with retirement plans which contain certain benefit responsive guarantees (i.e. liquidity guarantees of principal and previously accrued interest for benefits paid under the terms of the plan) with respect to portfolios of plan-owned assets not invested with the Company. The Company also offers investment advisory services and pension plan administrative services.

    Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

    Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts

    The Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 03-1, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts," on January 1, 2004. SOP 03-1 establishes several new accounting and disclosure requirements for certain nontraditional long-duration contracts and for separate accounts including, among other things, a requirement that assets and liabilities of separate account arrangements that do not meet certain criteria be accounted for as general account assets and liabilities, and that revenues and expenses related to such arrangements, be consolidated with the respective lines in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, the SOP requires that additional liabilities be established for certain guaranteed death and other benefits and for products with certain patterns of cost of insurance charges. In addition, sales inducements provided to contractowners must be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets separately from deferred acquisition costs and amortized as a component of benefits expense using methodology and assumptions consistent with those used for amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC").

    The Company evaluated all requirements of SOP 03-1 which resulted in the consolidation of the Separate Account supporting the guarantee option into the General Account. Requirements to establish additional liabilities for minimum guarantee benefits are applicable to the Company; however, the Company's policies on contract liabilities have historically been, and continue to be, in conformity with the newly established requirements. Requirements for recognition of additional liabilities for products with certain patterns of cost of insurance charges are not applicable to the Company. The adoption of SOP 03-1 had no significant effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

    In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company implemented Technical Practice Aid 6300.05 - 6300.08, "Q&As Related to the Implementation of SOP 03-1, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts" (the "TPA").

    The TPA, which was approved in September 2004, provides additional guidance regarding certain implicit assessments that may be used in testing of the base mortality function on contracts, which is performed to determine whether additional liabilities are required in conjunction with SOP 03-1. In addition, the TPA provides additional guidance surrounding the allowed level of aggregation of additional liabilities determined under SOP 03-1. The adoption of the TPA did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    The implementation of SOP 03-1 also raised questions regarding the interpretation of the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 97, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments," concerning when it is appropriate to record an unearned revenue liability related to the insurance benefit function. To clarify its position, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 97-1 ("FSP FAS 97-1"), "Situations in Which Paragraphs 17(b) and 20 of FASB Statement No. 97 Permit or Require Accrual of an Unearned Revenue Liability," effective for fiscal periods beginning subsequent to the date the guidance was issued, June 18, 2004. The Company adopted FSP FAS 97-1 on July 1, 2004 which did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

    The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments

    In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a final consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-1 ("EITF-03-1"), "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," requiring that a three-step impairment model be applied to securities within its scope. The three-step model is applied on a security-by-security basis as follows:

    Step 1: Determine whether an investment is impaired. An investment is impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost basis.

    Step 2: Evaluate whether an impairment is other-than-temporary.

    Step 3: If the impairment is other-than-temporary, recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the investment's cost and its fair value.

    On September 30, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF Issue 03-1-1 ("FSP EITF 03-1-1"), "Effective Date of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, 'The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,'" which delayed the EITF Issue No. 03-1 original effective date of July 1, 2004 related to steps two and three of the impairment model introduced. The delay is in effect until a final consensus can be reached on such guidance. Despite the delay of the implementation of steps two and three, other-than-temporary impairments are still to be recognized as required by existing guidance.

    Earlier consensus reached by the EITF on this issue required that certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures be made for unrealized losses on debt and equity securities that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. These disclosures were adopted by the Company, effective December 31, 2003, and are included in the Investments footnote.

    Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

    The Derivative Implementation Group ("DIG"), responsible for issuing guidance on behalf of the FASB for implementation of FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," issued Statement No. 133 Implementation Issue No. B36, "Embedded Derivatives: Modified Coinsurance Arrangements and Debt Instruments That Incorporate Credit Risk Exposures That Are Unrelated or Only Partially Related to the Credit Worthiness of the Obligor under Those Instruments" ("DIG B36"). Under this interpretation, modified coinsurance and coinsurance with funds withheld reinsurance agreements as well as other types of receivables and payables where interest is determined by reference to a pool of fixed maturity assets or a total return debt index may be determined to contain embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated from the host instrument. The required date of adoption of DIG B36 for the Company was October 1, 2003. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

    Variable Interest Entities

    In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN 46"). In December 2003, the FASB modified FIN 46 to make certain technical revisions and address certain implementation issues that had arisen. FIN 46 provides a new framework for identifying variable interest entities ("VIEs") and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements.

    In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited-liability corporation, trust, or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations.

    FIN 46 requires a VIE to be consolidated if a party with an ownership, contractual or other financial interest in the VIE (a variable interest holder) is obligated to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE's activities, is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE's residual returns (if no party absorbs a majority of the VIE's losses), or both. A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is called the primary beneficiary. Upon consolidation, the primary beneficiary generally must initially record all of the VIE's assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests at fair value and subsequently account for the VIE as if it were consolidated based on majority voting interest. FIN 46 also requires

     

    C-12

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
    (A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    disclosures about VIEs that the variable interest holder is required to consolidate and those VIEs it is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest.

    The Company holds investments in VIEs in the form of private placement securities, structured securities, securitization transactions, and limited partnerships with an aggregate fair value of $8,489.3 as of December 31, 2004. These VIEs are held by the Company for investment purposes. Consolidation of these investments in the Company's financial statements is not required as the Company is not the primary beneficiary for any of these VIEs. Book value as of December 31, 2004 of $8,396.1 represents the maximum exposure to loss except for those structures for which the Company also receives asset management fees.

    Guarantees

    In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"), to clarify accounting and disclosure requirements relating to a guarantor's issuance of certain types of guarantees, or groups of similar guarantees, even if the likelihood of the guarantor's having to make any payments under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure provisions are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. For certain guarantees, the interpretation also requires that guarantors recognize a liability equal to the fair value of the guarantee upon its issuance. This initial recognition and measurement provision is to be applied only on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company has performed an assessment of its guarantees and believes that all of its guarantees are excluded from the scope of this interpretation.

    Goodwill Impairment

    During 2002, the Company adopted FAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss of $2,412.1, net of taxes of $1,298.8, related to prior acquisitions, recorded retroactive to the first quarter of 2002. Prior quarters of 2002 were restated accordingly. This impairment loss represented the entire carrying amount of goodwill, net of accumulated amortization. This impairment charge is shown as a change in accounting principle on the December 31, 2002 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

    New Accounting Pronouncements

    In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("FAS 123R"), which requires all share-based payments be recognized in the

    C-13

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
    (A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    financial statements based upon the fair value. FAS 123R is effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier adoption is encouraged. FAS 123R provides two transition methods, modified-prospective and modified-retrospective.

    The modified-prospective method recognizes the grant-date fair value of compensation for new and unvested awards beginning in the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. Prior periods are not restated. The modified-retrospective method, entities are allowed to restate prior periods by recognizing the compensation cost in the amount previously reported in the pro forma footnote disclosures as required under FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."

    The Company intends to early adopt the provisions of FAS 123R on January 1, 2005 using the modified-prospective method. The adoption of FAS 123R is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Prior to January 2005, the Company applied the intrinsic value-based provisions set forth in APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense is determined on the measurement date, which is the first date on which both the number of shares the employee is entitled to receive and the exercise price are known. Compensation expense, if any, is measured based on the award's intrinsic value, which is the excess of the market price of the stock over the exercise price on the measurement date.

    Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates.

    Reclassifications

    Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years financial information to conform to the current year presentation, including a reclassification in the amount of $9.2, net of tax, from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2001 (see footnote 14).

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, money market instruments and other debt issues with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased.

     

    C-14

    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    Investments

    All of the Company's fixed maturity and equity securities are currently designated as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized gains and losses on these securities are included directly in shareholder's equity, after adjustment for related changes in deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), value of business acquired ("VOBA"), and deferred income taxes.

    Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

    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 in accordance with FAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Management considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than amortized cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; future economic conditions and market forecasts; and the Company's intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair 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.

    In addition, the Company invests in structured securities that meet the criteria of EITF Issue No. 99-20 "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets." Under Issue No. EITF 99-20, a determination of the required impairment is based on credit risk and the possibility of significant prepayment risk that restricts the Company's ability to recover the investment. An impairment is recognized if the fair value of the security is less than amortized cost and there has been an adverse change in cash flow since the last remeasurement date.

    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.

    Experience-Rated Products

    Included in available-for-sale securities are investments that support experience-rated products. Experience-rated products are products where the customer, not the Company, assumes investment (including realized capital gains and losses) and other risks, subject to, among other things, minimum principal and interest guarantees. Unamortized realized gains and losses on the sale of and unrealized capital gains and losses on investments supporting these products are included in future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized capital gains and losses on all other investments are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized

    C-15

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
    (A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    capital gains and losses on all other investments are reflected in shareholder's equity, net of related income taxes.

    Purchases and Sales

    Purchases and sales of fixed maturities and equity securities (excluding private placements) are recorded on the trade date. Purchases and sales of private placements and mortgage loans are recorded on the closing date.

    Valuation

    Fair values for fixed maturities are obtained from independent pricing services or broker/dealer quotations. Fair values for privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based model. The matrix-based model considers the level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer, and cash flow characteristics of the security. The fair values for actively traded equity securities are based on quoted market prices. For equity securities not actively traded, estimated fair values are based upon values of issues of comparable yield and quality or conversion value where applicable.

    Mortgage loans on real estate are reported at amortized cost less impairment writedowns. If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or to the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral. If the loan is in foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell. The carrying value of the impaired loans is reduced by establishing a permanent writedown charged to realized loss.

    Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances.

    Short-term investments, consisting primarily of money market instruments and other fixed maturities issues purchased with an original maturity of 91 days to one year, are considered available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost.

    Securities Lending

    The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Initial collateral, primarily cash, is required at a rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned domestic securities. The collateral is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by

    C-16

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
    (A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    the lending agent according to the Company's guidelines to generate additional income. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value of the loaned securities fluctuates.

    Repurchase Agreements

    The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements ("dollar rolls") and repurchase agreements to increase the return on investments and improve liquidity. These transactions involve a sale of securities and an agreement to repurchase substantially the same securities as those sold. Company policies require a minimum of 95% of the fair value of securities pledged under dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions to be maintained as collateral. Cash collateral received is invested in fixed maturities and the offsetting collateral liability is included in borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Derivatives

    The Company's use of derivatives is limited mainly to hedging purposes. However, these derivatives are not accounted for using hedge accounting treatment under FAS No. 133 and the Company does not seek hedge accounting treatment. The Company enters into interest rate, equity market, and currency contracts, including swaps, caps, and floors to reduce and manage risks associated with changes in value, yield, price or cash flow or exchange rates of assets or liabilities held or intended to be held. Changes in the fair value of open derivative contracts are recorded in net realized capital gains and losses. Derivatives are included in other investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturity instruments and has retail annuity products that contain embedded derivatives, including those whose market value is at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic and/or foreign interest rates (short- or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity markets, or credit ratings/spreads. Changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives are recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Embedded derivatives are included in fixed maturities.

    Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

    DAC represents policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to amortization. Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting, contract issuance, and certain agency expenses, related to the production of new and renewal business.

     

     

    C-17

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
    (A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    VOBA represents the outstanding value of in force business capitalized and is subject to amortization in purchase accounting when the Company was acquired. The value is based on the present value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the Company's contracts.

    The amortization methodology used for DAC and VOBA varies by product type. FAS No. 60, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises," applies to traditional life insurance products, primarily whole life and term life insurance contracts. Under FAS No. 60, DAC and VOBA are amortized over the premium payment period, in proportion to the premium revenue recognized.

    FAS No. 97 applies to universal life and investment-type products, such as fixed and variable deferred annuities. Under FAS No. 97, DAC and VOBA are amortized, with interest, over the life of the related contracts (usually 25 years) in relation to the present value of estimated future gross profits from investment, mortality, and expense margins; asset-based fees, policy administration, and surrender charges; less policy maintenance fees and non-capitalized commissions, as well as realized gains and losses on investments.

    Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on DAC and VOBA balances and amortization rates. Several assumptions are considered significant in the estimation of future gross profits associated with variable deferred annuity products. One of the most significant assumptions involved in the estimation of future gross profits is the assumed return associated with the variable account performance. To reflect the volatility in the equity markets, this assumption involves a combination of near-term expectations and long-term assumptions regarding market performance. The overall return on the variable account is dependent on multiple factors, including the relative mix of the underlying sub-accounts among bond funds and equity funds, as well as equity sector weightings. Other significant assumptions include surrender and lapse rates, estimated interest spread, and estimated mortality.

    Due to the relative size and sensitivity to minor changes in underlying assumptions of DAC and VOBA balances, the Company performs a quarterly and annual analysis of DAC and VOBA for the annuity and life businesses, respectively. The DAC and VOBA balances are evaluated for recoverability and are reduced to the extent that estimated future gross profits are inadequate to recover the asset.

    At each evaluation date, actual historical gross profits are reflected, and estimated future gross profits and related assumptions are evaluated for continued reasonableness. Any adjustment in estimated profit requires that the amortization rate be revised ("unlocking"), retroactively to the date of the policy or contract issuance. The cumulative prior period adjustment is recognized as a component of current period

    C-18

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
    (A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    amortization. In general, increases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future profits, lower the rate of amortization. However, decreases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future profits, increase the rate of amortization.

    Reserves

    The Company establishes and carries actuarially determined reserve liabilities which are calculated to meet its future obligations. Changes in or deviations from the assumptions used can significantly affect the Company's reserve levels and related future operations.

    Reserves for deferred annuity investment contracts and immediate annuities without life contingent benefits are equal to cumulative deposits less charges and withdrawals plus credited interest thereon (rates range from 1.5% to 11.9% for all years presented) net of adjustments for investment experience that the Company is entitled to reflect in future credited interest. These reserves also include unrealized gains/losses related to investments and unamortized realized gains/losses on investments for experience-rated contracts. Reserves on experience-rated contracts reflect the rights of contractholders, plan participants, and the Company.

    Reserves for immediate annuities with life contingent benefits are computed on the basis of assumed interest discount rates, mortality, and expenses, including a margin for adverse deviations. Such assumptions generally vary by plan, year of issue and policy duration. Reserve interest rates range from 4.9% to 9.5% for all years presented.

    Because the sale of the domestic individual life insurance business on October 1, 1998 was substantially in the form of an indemnity reinsurance agreement, the Company includes an amount in reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which approximates the Company's total individual life reserves. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Unpaid claims and claim expenses for all lines of insurance include benefits for reported losses and estimates of benefits for losses incurred but not reported.

    Sales Inducements

    Sales inducements represent benefits paid to contractowners that are incremental to the amounts the Company credits on similar contracts and are higher than the contract's expected ongoing crediting rates for periods after the inducement. As of January 1, 2004, such amounts are reported separately and included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with SOP 03-1. Prior to 2004, sales inducements were recorded as a component of DAC on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Beginning in 2004, sales inducements are amortized as a component of interest credited and other benefits to contractowners using methodologies and assumptions consistent with those used for amortization of DAC.

    Revenue Recognition

    For most annuity contracts, fee income for the cost of insurance, surrenders, expenses, and other fees are recorded as revenue as charges are assessed against contractowners. Other amounts received for these contracts are reflected as deposits and are not recorded as premiums or revenue. Related policy benefits are recorded in relation to the associated premiums or gross profit so that profits are recognized over the expected lives of the contracts. When annuity payments with life contingencies begin under contracts that were initially investment contracts, the accumulated balance in the account is treated as a single premium for the purchase of an annuity and reflected as an offsetting amount in both premiums and current and future benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Premiums on the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily represent amounts received for immediate annuities with life contingencies.

    Separate Accounts

    Separate Account assets and liabilities generally represent funds maintained to meet specific investment objectives of contractowners who bear the investment risk, subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guaranteed rates. Investment income and investment gains and losses generally accrue directly to such contractowners. The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company or its affiliates.

    Separate Account assets supporting variable options under annuity contracts are invested, as designated by the contractowner or participant (who bears the investment risk subject, in limited cases, to minimum guaranteed rates) under a contract in shares of mutual funds which are managed by the Company or its affiliates, or other selected mutual funds not managed by the Company or its affiliates.

    Separate Account assets and liabilities are carried at fair value and shown as separate captions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deposits, investment income and net

    C-20

    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Separate Accounts are not reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements (with the exception of realized and unrealized capital gains and losses on the assets supporting the guaranteed interest option). The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not reflect investment activity of the Separate Accounts.

    Assets and liabilities of separate account arrangements that do not meet the criteria in SOP 03-1 for presentation in the separate caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (primarily guaranteed interest options), and revenue and expenses related to such arrangements, are consolidated in the financial statements with the general account. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, unrealized gains of $7.3 and $55.7, respectively, on assets supporting a guaranteed interest option are reflected in shareholder's equity.

    Reinsurance

    The Company utilizes indemnity reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to large losses in all aspects of its insurance business. Such reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the primary liability of the Company as direct insurer of the risks reinsured. The Company evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial condition of reinsurers. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of the reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, $2.9 billion and $3.0 billion at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, is related to the reinsurance recoverable from Lincoln National Corporation ("Lincoln") arising from the sale of the Company's domestic life insurance business in 1998 (See Note 11).

    Income Taxes

    The Company is taxed at regular corporate rates after adjusting income reported for financial statement purposes for certain items. Deferred income tax expenses/benefits result from changes during the year in cumulative temporary differences between the tax basis and book basis of assets and liabilities.

    At December 31, 2004 and 2003, fixed maturities with carrying values of $10.9 and $11.2, respectively, were on deposit as required by regulatory authorities.

    The Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations of the U.S. government, with a carrying value in excess of 10% of the Company's shareholder's equity at December 31, 2004 or 2003.

    The Company has various categories of CMOs that are subject to different degrees of risk from changes in interest rates and, for CMOs that are not agency-backed, defaults. The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and extension risks related to dramatic decreases and increases in interest rates resulting in the repayment of principal from the underlying mortgages either earlier or later than originally anticipated. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, approximately 4.1% and 2.8%, respectively, of the Company's CMO holdings were invested in types of CMOs which are subject to more prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs (such as interest-only or principal-only strips).

    The Company enters into dollar repurchase agreements ("dollar rolls") and repurchase agreements to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreements was $1,274.3 and $1,644.8, respectively. The carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreements is included in pledged securities on the Balance Sheets. The repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements totaled $1,057.4 and $1,519.3 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements is included in borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Financial Instruments

    Estimated Fair Value

    The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of FAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." FAS No. 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. 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, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

    FAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments, including insurance contracts, and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

    The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

    Fixed maturities: The fair values for the actively traded marketable bonds are determined based upon the quoted market prices. The fair values for marketable bonds without an active market are obtained through several commercial pricing services which provide the estimated fair values. Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based pricing model. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer, and cash flow characteristics of the security. Also considered are factors such as the net worth of the

    C-28

    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    borrower, the value of collateral, the capital structure of the borrower, the presence of guarantees, and the Company's evaluation of the borrower's ability to compete in their relevant market. Using this data, the model generates estimated market values which the Company considers reflective of the fair value of each privately placed bond.

    Equity securities: Fair values of these securities are based upon quoted market price.

    Mortgage loans on real estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and rates currently being offered in the marketplace for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

    Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and policy loans: The carrying amounts for these assets approximate the assets' fair values.

    Assets held in separate accounts: Assets held in separate accounts are reported at the quoted fair values of the individual securities in the separate accounts.

    Investment contract liabilities (included in future policy benefits and claim reserves):

    With a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by, or available to, the Company for similar contracts.

    Without a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated as the amount payable to the contractowners upon demand. However, the Company has the right under such contracts to delay payment of withdrawals which may ultimately result in paying an amount different than that determined to be payable on demand.

    Liabilities related to separate accounts: The carrying amounts for these liabilities approximate their fair value.

    Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about various financial instruments, such as estimates of timing and amounts of future cash flows. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. In evaluating the Company's management of interest rate, price and liquidity risks, the fair values of all assets and liabilities should be taken into consideration, not only those presented above.

    Derivative Financial Instruments

    Interest Rate Floors

    Interest rate floors are used to manage the interest rate risk in the Company's bond portfolio. Interest rate floors are purchased contracts that provide the Company with an annuity in a declining interest rate environment. The Company had no open interest rate floors at December 31, 2004 or 2003.

    Interest Rate Caps

    Interest rate caps are used to manage the interest rate risk in the Company's bond portfolio. Interest rate caps are purchased contracts that provide the Company with an annuity in an increasing interest rate environment. The notional amount, carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's open interest rate caps as of December 31, 2004 were $527.8, $5.9, and $5.9, respectively. The notional amount, carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's open interest rate caps as of December 31, 2003 were $739.6, $8.2, and $8.2, respectively.

    Interest Rate Swaps

    Interest rate swaps are used to manage the interest rate risk in the Company's bond portfolio and well as the Company's liabilities. Interest rate swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of cash flows at regular interim periods, typically monthly or quarterly. The notional amount, carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's open interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2004 were $1,766.0, $2.1, and $2.1, respectively. The notional amount, carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's open interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2003 were $950.0, $(14.4), and $(14.4), respectively.

    Foreign Exchange Swaps

    Foreign exchange swaps are used to reduce the risk of a change in the value, yield, or cash flow with respect to invested assets. Foreign exchange swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of foreign currency cash flows for US dollar cash flows at regular interim periods, typically quarterly or semi-annually. The notional amount, carrying value, and estimated fair value of the Company's open foreign exchange rate swaps as of December 31, 2004 were $126.5, $(28.4), and $(28.4), respectively. The notional amount, carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's open foreign exchange rate swaps as of December 31, 2003 were $78.1, $(12.8), and $(12.8), respectively.

    Balance at December 31, 2004

     $         1,365.2 

    The estimated amount of VOBA to be amortized, net of interest, over the next five years is $112.2, $105.8, $97.4, $92.4, and $90.6 for the years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. Actual amortization incurred during these years may vary as assumptions are modified to incorporate actual results.

    During 2004, VOBA amortization increased principally due to higher actual gross profits, as a result of the margins earned on higher fixed and variable assets and fewer other-than-temporary impairments. Also, surrenders increased, which resulted in higher amortization for certain business.

    During 2003 the Company reset long-term assumptions for the Separate Account returns from 9.0% to 8.5% (gross before fund management fees and mortality, expense, and other policy charges), reflecting a blended return of equity and other sub-accounts. The 2003 unlocking adjustment was primarily driven by improved market performance compared to expected during 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded a deceleration of DAC/VOBA amortization totaling $3.7 before tax, or $2.4, net of $1.3 of federal income tax expense.

    C-32

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    As part of the regular analysis of DAC/VOBA, at the end of third quarter of 2002, the Company unlocked its long-term rate of return assumptions. The Company reset long-term return assumptions for the Separate Account returns to 9.0% (gross before fund management fees and mortality, expense, and other policy charges), as of December 31, 2002, reflecting a blended return of equity and other sub-accounts. The unlocking adjustment in 2002 was primarily driven by the sustained downturn in the equity markets and revised expectations for future returns. During 2002, the Company recorded an acceleration of DAC/VOBA amortization totaling $45.6 before tax, or $29.7, net of $15.9 of federal income tax benefit.

    4.

    Dividend Restrictions and Shareholder's Equity

    The Company's ability to pay dividends to its parent is subject to the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities of the State of Connecticut for payment of any dividend, which, when combined with other dividends paid within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the greater of (1) 10% of statutory surplus at prior year end or (2) ILIAC's prior year statutory net gain from operations.

    ILIAC paid a cash dividend of $70.0 to Lion in 2004 and did not pay cash dividends to Lion in 2003 or 2002. However, on February 28, 2002, ILIAC contributed 100% of the stock of IA Holdco to HOLDCO in the form of a $60.1 dividend distribution. ILIAC did not receive capital contributions from its parent in 2004 and received $230.0 and $164.3 in capital contributions during 2003 and 2002, respectively.

    The Insurance Department of the State of Connecticut (the "Department") recognizes as net income and capital and surplus those amounts determined in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department, which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Statutory net income (loss) was $217.2, $67.5, and $148.8 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $1,344.5 and $1,230.7 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

    As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not utilize any statutory accounting practices, which are not prescribed by state regulatory authorities that, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect statutory capital and surplus.

    5.

    Additional Insurance Benefits and Minimum Guarantees

    Under SOP 03-1, the Company calculates an additional liability ("SOP reserves") for certain guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDBs") in order to recognize the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.

    C-33

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
    (A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    The Company regularly evaluates estimates used to adjust the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

    As of December 31, 2004, the Separate Account liability subject to SOP 03-1 for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees was $4,396.0 and $0.7, respectively.

    The aggregate fair value of equity securities (including mutual funds) supporting separate accounts with additional insurance benefits and minimum investment return guarantees as of December 31, 2004 was $4,396.0.

    Income Taxes

    ILIAC files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiary, IICA. ILIAC has a federal tax allocation agreement with IICA whereby ILIAC charges its subsidiary for federal taxes it would have incurred were it not a member of the consolidated group and credits IICA for losses at the statutory federal tax rate.

    Under prior law, the Company was allowed to defer from taxation a portion of income. The deferred income was accumulated in the Policyholders' Surplus Account and only becomes taxable under certain conditions, which management believes to be remote.

    C-35

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
    (A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    Furthermore, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 allows certain tax-free distributions from the Policyholders' Surplus Account during 2005 and 2006. Therefore, based on currently available information, no federal income taxes have been provided on the Policyholders' Surplus Account accumulated balance of $17.2 million.

    Valuation allowances are provided when it is considered more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. No valuation allowance has been established at this time, as management believes the above conditions presently do not exist.

    The Company establishes reserves for probable proposed adjustments by various taxing authorities. Management believes there are sufficient reserves provided for, or adequate defenses against any such adjustments. The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") has completed examinations of the federal income tax returns of the Company for all years through the December 13, 2000 short period. The tax benefit associated with the settlement of the most recent audit is included in the 2004 financial statements. The Service has commenced its examination for the tax years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001. Additionally, various state tax audits are in process.

    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 other than Company agents.

    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. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, ING North America is responsible for all Retirement Plan liabilities. The costs allocated to the Company for its employees' participation in the Retirement Plan were $19.0 for 2004, $15.1 for 2003, and $6.4 for 2002, respectively.

    Defined Contribution Plan

    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, including but not limited to Career Agents) are eligible to participate, including the Company's employees other than Company agents. Career

    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    Agents are certain, full-time insurance salesmen who have entered into a career agent agreement with the Company and certain other individuals who meet specified eligibility criteria. 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. Pre-tax charges of operations of the Company for the Savings Plan were $8.0, $7.1 and $7.1 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

    Other Benefit Plans

    The Company also sponsors a tax-qualified profit sharing plan for Career Agents that is intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(K).

    In addition to providing retirement plan benefits, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, provides certain supplemental retirement benefits to eligible employees; defined benefit pension plans for insurance salesmen who have entered into a career agent agreement and certain other individuals; and health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and their eligible dependents. The supplemental retirement plan and defined benefit pension plan are non-qualified defined benefit pension plans, 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 defined benefit plan for salesmen was terminated effective January 1, 2002, and all benefit accruals ceased. The life insurance plan provides a flat amount of noncontributory coverage and optional contributory coverage. The benefit charges allocated to the Company related to all of these plans for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, were not significant.

    Investment Advisory and Other Fees

    ILIAC serves as investment advisor to certain variable funds used in Company products (collectively, the "Company Funds"). The Company Funds pay ILIAC, as investment advisor, a daily fee which, on an annual basis, ranged, depending on the Fund, from 0.5% to 1.0% of their average daily net assets. Each of the Company Funds managed by ILIAC are subadvised by investment advisors, in which case ILIAC pays a subadvisory fee to the investment advisors, which may include affiliates.

Under the insurance and annuity contracts, the Separate Accounts pay ILIAC a daily fee, which, on an annual basis is, depending on the product, up to 3.4% of their average daily net assets. The amount of compensation and fees received from affiliated mutual funds and separate accounts, amounted to $209.2, $201.4 (excludes fees paid to Aeltus Investment Management, Inc., now known as ING Investment Management LLP ("Aeltus")), and $391.8 (includes fees paid to Aeltus through February 28, 2002, when IA Holdco, Aeltus' parent, ceased to be a subsidiary of ILIAC) in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

    Reinsurance

    At December 31, 2004, the Company had reinsurance treaties with six unaffiliated reinsurers and one affiliated reinsurer covering a significant portion of the mortality risks and guaranteed death and living benefits under its variable contracts. The Company remains liable to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

    On October 1, 1998, the Company sold its domestic individual life insurance business to Lincoln for $1.0 billion in cash. The transaction is generally in the form of an indemnity reinsurance arrangement, under which Lincoln contractually assumed from the Company certain policyholder liabilities and obligations, although the Company remains directly obligated to contractowners.

    Effective January 1, 1998, 90% of the mortality risk on substantially all individual universal life product business written from June 1, 1991 through October 31, 1997 was reinsured externally. Beginning November 1, 1997, 90% of new business written on these products was reinsured externally. Effective October 1, 1998 this agreement was assigned from the third party reinsurer to Lincoln.

    Effective December 31, 1988, the Company entered into a modified coinsurance reinsurance agreement ("MODCO") with Aetna Life Insurance Company ("Aetna Life"), (formerly an affiliate of the Company), in which substantially all of the nonparticipating individual life and annuity business written by Aetna Life prior to 1981 was assumed by the Company. Effective January 1, 1997, this agreement was amended to transition (based on underlying investment rollover in Aetna Life) from a modified coinsurance arrangement to a coinsurance agreement. As a result of this change, reserves were ceded to the Company from Aetna Life as investment rollover occurred. Effective October 1, 1998, this agreement was fully transitioned to a coinsurance arrangement and this business along with the Company's direct individual life insurance business, with the exception of certain supplemental contracts with reserves of $61.1 and $63.8 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, was sold to Lincoln.

    On December 16, 1988, the Company assumed $25.0 of premium revenue from Aetna Life, for the purchase and administration of a life contingent single premium variable payout annuity contract. In addition, the Company is also responsible for administering fixed annuity payments that are made to annuitants receiving variable payments. Reserves of $19.3 and $20.4 were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

    The effect of reinsurance on premiums and recoveries for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, were as follows:

    Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

    Leases

    The Company leases its office space and certain other equipment under operating leases that expire through 2009.

    For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, rent expense for leases was $18.1, $20.8 and $18.1, respectively. The future net minimum payments under noncancelable leases for the years ended December 31, 2005 through 2009 are estimated to be $16.7, $15.4, $14.0, $1.3, and $0.5, respectively, and $0.1 thereafter. The Company pays substantially all expenses associated with its leased and subleased office properties. Expenses not paid directly by the Company are paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company.

    Commitments

    Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either purchase or sell securities, commercial mortgage loans or money market instruments at a specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The inability of counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either a higher or lower replacement cost. Also, there is likely to be a change in the value of the securities underlying the commitments. At December 31, 2004, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments of $778.2 with an estimated fair value of $778.2.

    Litigation

    The Company is a party to 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.

    Fund 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, revenue sharing and directed brokerage, compensation, sales practices and suitability, arrangements with service providers, pricing, compliance and controls, and adequacy of disclosure.

    In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund regulatory 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.

    C-42

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
    (A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    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 affiliates of the Company, 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 Company reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

    An affiliate of the Company, ING Funds Distributors, LLC ("IFD") has received notice from the staff of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") that the staff has made a preliminary determination to recommend that disciplinary action be brought against IFD and one of its registered persons for violations of the NASD Conduct Rules and federal securities laws in connection with frequent trading arrangements.

    Other regulators, including the SEC and the New York Attorney General, are also likely to take some action with respect to certain ING affiliates before concluding their investigation of ING relating to fund trading. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject 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 its employees 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.

    Other Regulatory Matters

    The New York Attorney General and other regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives, potential conflicts of interest, potential anti-competitive activity, marketing practices, certain financial reinsurance arrangements, and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these investigations will further broaden before the investigations are concluded. U.S. affiliates of ING have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request for information.

    ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
    (A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     

    These initiatives 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.

    Reclassifications and Changes to Prior Year Presentation

    During 2004, certain changes were made to the 2003 and 2002 Statements of Operations to reflect the correct balances, as follows:

      • Certain changes were made to the classification of reinsurance ceded related to certain products, which were included as a reduction to premiums.
      • Certain changes were made to the classification of certain annuity and other products, which were included in premium income.
      • Certain changes were made to the classification of certain benefits to contractowners, which were included as a reduction to premiums.

    In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

    1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
    2. Basis of Presentation

      ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ILIAC") is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the state of Connecticut. ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are providers of financial products and services in the United States. ILIAC is authorized to conduct its insurance business in the District of Columbia and all states.

      The condensed consolidated financial statements include ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ING Insurance Company of America ("IICA") and ING Financial Advisers, LLC ("IFA"). ILIAC is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. ("Lion" or "Parent"), which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"). ING is a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands, with American Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ING."

      On September 30, 2005, ILIAC entered into an agreement and plan of merger with IICA, whereby IICA will merge with and into ILIAC. The anticipated merger date is December 31, 2005. As of the merger date, IICA will cease to exist and ILIAC will be the surviving corporation. The merger is subject to certain regulatory approvals, including approval by the State of Florida Office of Insurance Regulation and the State of Connecticut Insurance Department. The merger is not expected to have any impact on ILIAC, as IICA, a wholly-owned subsidiary, is already included in the consolidated financial statements.

      The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as of September 30, 2005 (unaudited) and December 31, 2004, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 ("unaudited interim periods"), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

      The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, for the unaudited interim periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes as presented in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the unaudited interim periods may not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

       

      Description of Business

      The Company offers qualified and nonqualified annuity contracts that include a variety of funding and payout options for individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408 and 457, as well as nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The Company's products are offered primarily to individuals, pension plans, small businesses, and employer-sponsored groups in the health care, government, education (collectively "not-for-profit" organizations), and corporate markets. The Company's products generally are distributed through pension professionals, independent agents and brokers, third party administrators, banks, dedicated career agents, and financial planners.

      Annuity contracts may be deferred or immediate (payout annuities). These products also include programs offered to qualified plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans that package administrative and record-keeping services along with a variety of investment options, including affiliated and nonaffiliated mutual funds, and variable and fixed investment options. In addition, the Company offers wrapper agreements entered into with retirement plans which contain certain benefit responsive guarantees (i.e. liquidity guarantees of principal and previously accrued interest for benefits paid under the terms of the plan) with respect to portfolios of plan-owned assets not invested with the Company. The Company also offers investment advisory services and pension plan administrative services.

      Use of Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates.

      Reclassifications

      Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year classifications (see Note 9).

      Significant Accounting Policies

      For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

       

       

    3. New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
    4. Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts

      In September 2005, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position 05-1, "Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts" ("SOP 05-1"), which states that when an internal replacement transaction results in a substantially changed contract, the unamortized deferred acquisition costs, unearned revenue liabilities, and deferred sales inducement assets related to the replaced contract should not be deferred in connection with the new contract. Contract modifications that meet various conditions defined by SOP 05-1 and result in a new contract that is substantially unchanged from the replaced contract, however, should be accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract.

      SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages, that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider, to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. SOP 05-1 applies to internal replacements made primarily to contracts defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 60, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises" ("FAS No. 60"), as short-duration and long-duration life insurance contracts, and by FAS No. 97, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments" ("FAS No. 97"), as investment contracts.

      SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption encouraged. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of adoption of SOP 05-1.

      Investor's Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights

      In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on EITF Issue 04-5, "Investor's Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights" ("EITF 04-5"), which states that the general partner in a limited partnership should presume that it controls and, thus, should consolidate the limited partnership, unless the limited partners have either (a) substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partner without cause or (b) substantive participating rights. EITF 04-5 applies to limited partnerships that are not variable interest entities under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R): "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46(R)"). EITF 04-5 is effective immediately for all new limited partnerships formed and for existing limited partnerships for which partnership agreements are modified after June 29, 2005, and is effective for all other limited partnerships at the commencement of the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.

      EITF 04-5 had no impact on ILIAC as of September 30, 2005, as the Company's investments in limited partnerships are generally considered variable interest entities under FIN 46(R), and are accounted for using the cost or equity method of accounting since the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Investments in limited partnerships are included in Other investments on the Condensed Balance Sheets.

      Share-Based Payment

      In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("FAS No. 123R"), which requires all share-based payments to employees be recognized in the financial statements based upon the fair value. FAS No. 123R is effective at the beginning of the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005 for registrants. Earlier adoption is encouraged. FAS No. 123R provides two transition methods, modified-prospective and modified-retrospective.

      The Company early adopted the provisions of FAS No. 123R on January 1, 2005, using the modified-prospective method. Under the modified-prospective method, compensation cost recognized in the first nine months of 2005 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS No. 123"), and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value in accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 123R. Results for prior periods are not restated. Prior to January 1, 2005, the Company applied the intrinsic value-based provisions set forth in Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), and related Interpretations, as permitted by FAS No.123. No stock based employee compensation cost was recognized in the Statement of Operations during 2004, as all options granted during the year had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. All shares granted during 2005 and 2004 were those of ING, the Company's ultimate parent. As a result of adopting FAS No. 123R, the Company's net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, is $0.7 and $1.5 lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based payments under APB 25.

       

       

    5. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired
    6. Deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") represent policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to amortization. Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting, contract issuance, and certain agency expenses, related to the production of new and renewal business.

      Value of business acquired ("VOBA") represents the outstanding value of in force business capitalized in purchase accounting when the Company was acquired and is subject to amortization. The value is based on the present value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the Company's contracts.

      FAS No. 97 applies to universal life and investment-type products, such as fixed and variable deferred annuities. Under FAS No. 97, DAC and VOBA are amortized, with interest, over the life of the related contracts (usually 25 years) in relation to the present value of estimated future gross profits from investment, mortality, and expense margins plus surrender charges.

      FAS No. 60 applies to traditional life insurance products, primarily traditional whole life and term life insurance contracts. Under FAS No. 60, DAC and VOBA are amortized over the premium payment period, in proportion to the premium revenue recognized.

      Activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, within DAC, was as follows:

      The fair value of the fixed maturities which have had other-than-temporary impairments as of September 30, 2005 and 2004 is $174.3 and $134.7, respectively.

       

       

    9. Income Taxes
    10. The Company's effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were (61.3)% and (23.3)%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were (7.8)% and 12.8%, respectively. The effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the following items:

      Three Months Ended September 30,

      Nine Months Ended September 30,

      The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") completed an examination of the Company's returns through tax year 2001. The provisions as of September 30, 2005 and 2004 reflect non-recurring, favorable adjustments resulting from a reduction in the tax liability that is no longer necessary based on the results of the current IRS examination, monitoring the activities of the IRS with respect to this issue with other taxpayers, and the merits of the Company's positions.

      The IRS has commenced examination of the Company's returns for tax years 2002 and 2003.

       

    11. Financing Agreements
    12. ILIAC maintains a reciprocal loan agreement with ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("ING AIH"), an affiliate, to facilitate the handling of unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Under this agreement, which became effective in June 2001 and expires on April 1, 2011, either party can borrow from the other up to 3% of ILIAC's statutory admitted assets as of the preceding December 31. Interest on any ILIAC borrowings is charged at the rate of ING AIH's cost of funds for the interest period plus 0.15%. Interest on any ING AIH borrowings is charged at a rate based on the prevailing interest rate of U.S. commercial paper available for purchase with a similar duration. Under this agreement, ILIAC incurred interest expense of $0.3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, and earned interest income of $0.2 and $0.8 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. ILIAC incurred minimal interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004, incurred interest expense of $0.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, and earned interest income of $0.5 and $1.0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, ILIAC had $20.0 and $25.0 receivable from ING AIH under this agreement, respectively.

      Prior to September 30, 2005, the Company also maintained a $125.0 uncommitted revolving note facility with SunTrust Bank, Atlanta ("SunTrust"). At December 31, 2004, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the revolving note facility. Effective September 30, 2005, the Company no longer maintains the SunTrust note facility.

       

    13. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
    14. Commitments

      Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either purchase or sell securities, commercial mortgage loans, or money market instruments, at a specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The inability of counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either a higher or lower replacement cost. Also, there is likely to be a change in the value of the securities underlying the commitments. At September 30, 2005, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $573.6, $416.0 of which was with related parties. At December 31, 2004, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $778.2, $440.4 of which was with related parties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 $54.0 was funded to related parties under these commitments.

      Litigation

      The Company is a party to 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.

       

       

    15. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

    Item 26. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or Registrant


    Incorporated herein by reference to Item 28 in Post-Effective Amendment No. 9 to Registration Statement on Form N-6 for ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Variable Life Separate Account I (File No. 333-47527), as filed on April 7, 2005.

    Item 27. Number of Contract Owners


    As of November 30, 2005, there were 10,364 individuals holding interests in variable annuity contracts funded through Variable Annuity Account I of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

    Item 28. Indemnification


    Section 33-779 of the Connecticut General Statutes ("CGS") provides that a corporation may provide indemnification of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent only as permitted by Sections 33-770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the CGS. Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(e) of the CGS regarding indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS regarding indemnification of officers, employees and agents of Connecticut corporations. These statutes provide in general that Connecticut corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly provides otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents against "liability" (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 33-775 that the party seeking indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a court has determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section 33-774. Under Section 33-775, the determination of and the authorization for indemnification are made (a) by the disinterested directors, as defined in Section 33-770(3); (b) by special counsel; (c) by the shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the corporation, by the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of directors may specify. Also, Section 33-772 with Section 33-776 provide that a corporation shall indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation. Pursuant to Section 33-771(d), in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding against the corporation to which the individual was named a party.

    The statute does specifically authorize a corporation to procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Consistent with the statute, ING Groep N.V. maintains an umbrella insurance policy with an international insurer to cover errors and omissions, directors and officers, employment practices, fiduciary and fidelity. The policy covers ING Groep N.V. and any company in which ING Groep N.V. has controlling interest of 50% or more. This would encompass the principal underwriter as well as the depositor.

    Section 20 of the ING Financial Advisers, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement provides that ING Financial Advisers, LLC will indemnify certain persons against any loss, damage, claim or expenses (including legal fees) incurred by such person if he is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he was a member, officer, director, employee or agent of ING Financial Advisers, LLC, as long as he acted in good faith on behalf of ING Financial Advisers, LLC and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of his authority. An additional condition requires that no person shall be entitled to indemnity if his loss, damage, claim or expense was incurred by reason of his gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity provision is authorized by and is consistent with Title 8, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

    Item 29. Principal Underwriter

    (a)

    In addition to serving as the principal underwriter for the Registrant, ING Financial Advisers, LLC also acts as the principal underwriter for ING Partners, Inc. (a management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)). Additionally, ING Financial Advisers, LLC acts as the principal underwriter for Variable Life Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (ILIAC), Variable Life Account C of ILIAC, Variable Annuity Accounts B, C and G of ILIAC (separate accounts of ILIAC registered as unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act). ING Financial Advisers, LLC is also the principal underwriter for (i) Separate Account N of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (RLIC) (a separate account of RLIC registered as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act.), (ii) ReliaStar Select Variable Account of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (a separate account of RLIC registered as a unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act), (ii) MFS ReliaStar Variable Account (a separate account of RLIC registered as a unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act), (iv) Northstar Variable Account (a separate account of RLIC registered as a unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act) (v) ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Variable Annuity Funds A, B, C (a management investment company registered under the 1940 Act), (vi) ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Variable Annuity Funds D, E, F, G, H, I (a management investment company registered under the 1940 Act), (vii) ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Variable Annuity Funds M, P, and Q (a management investment company registered under the1940 Act), and (viii) ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Variable Annuity Funds M P (a management investment company registered under the1940 Act).

    Item 31. Management Services


    Not applicable

    Item 32. Undertakings


    Registrant hereby undertakes:

    (a)

    to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement on Form N-4 as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited financial statements in the registration statement are never more than sixteen months old for as long as payments under the variable annuity contracts may be accepted;

    (b)

    to include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by a prospectus which is part of this registration statement on Form N-4, a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of Additional Information; and

    (c)

    to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial statements required to be made available under this Form N-4 promptly upon written or oral request.

    The Company hereby represents that it is relying upon and complies with the provisions of Paragraphs (1) through (4) of the SEC Staff's No-Action Letter dated November 28, 1988 with respect to language concerning withdrawal restrictions applicable to plans established pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. See American Counsel of Life Insurance; SEC No-Action Letter, [1988 WL 1235221 *13 (S.E.C.)]

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

    ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company represents that the fees and charges deducted under the contracts covered by this registration statement, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the insurance company.
