Summary:
Travelers Vintage Variable Annuity

This summary details some of the more important points that you should know and consider before purchasing the Contract. Please read the entire prospectus carefully.

What company will issue my Contract? Your issuing company is either The Travelers Insurance Company or The Travelers Life and Annuity Company (“the Company,” “We” or “Us”). Refer to your Contract for the name of your issuing company. Each company sponsors its own segregated asset account (“Separate Account”). The Travelers Insurance Company sponsors the Travelers Fund BD for Variable Annuities (“Fund BD”); The Travelers Life and Annuity Company sponsors the Travelers Fund BD II for Variable Annuities (“Fund BD II”). When we refer to the Separate Account, we are referring to either Fund BD or Fund BD II, depending upon your issuing Company.

You may only purchase a Contract in states where the Contract has been approved for sale. The Contract may not currently be available for sale in all states.

Can you give me a general description of the Contract? We designed the Contract for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes. The Contract provides a death benefit as well as guaranteed payout options. You direct your payment(s) to one or more of the Variable Funding Options and/or to the Fixed Account that is part of our general account (the “Fixed Account”). We guarantee money directed to the Fixed Account as to principal and interest. The Variable Funding Options are designed to produce a higher rate of return than the Fixed Account; however, this is not guaranteed. You can also lose money in the Variable Funding Options.

The Contract, like all deferred variable annuity contracts, has two phases: the accumulation phase and the payout phase (annuity period). During the accumulation phase generally, under a qualified contract, your pre-tax contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal, presumably when you are in a lower tax bracket. During the accumulation phase, under a nonqualified contract, earnings on your after-tax contributions accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal. The payout phase occurs when you begin receiving payments from your Contract. The amount of money you accumulate in your Contract determines the amount of income (Annuity Payments) you receive during the payout phase.

During the payout phase, you may choose one of a number of annuity options. You may receive income payments from the Variable Funding Options and/or the Fixed Account. If you elect variable income payments, the dollar amount of your payments may increase or decrease. Once you choose one of the annuity options or income options and begin to receive payments, it cannot be changed.

Who should purchase this Contract? The Contract is currently available for use in connection with (1) individual nonqualified purchases; (2) rollovers from Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs); (3) rollovers from other qualified retirement plans, and (4) beneficiary-directed transfer of proceeds from another Contract. Qualified contracts include contracts qualifying under Section 401(a), 403(b), or 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Purchase of this Contract through a tax qualified retirement plan (“Plan”) does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the Plan. Accordingly, if you are purchasing this Contract through a Plan, you should consider purchasing this Contract for its Death Benefit, Annuity Option Benefits, and other non-tax-related benefits.

You may purchase the Contract with an initial payment of at least $5,000. You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time during the accumulation phase. No additional payments are allowed if the Contract is purchased with a beneficiary-directed transfer of proceeds.

Can I exchange my current annuity contract for this Contract? The Code generally permits you to exchange one annuity contract for another in a “tax-free exchange.” Therefore, you can transfer the proceeds from another annuity contract to purchase this Contract. Before making an exchange to acquire this Contract, you should carefully compare this Contract to your current contract. You may have to pay a surrender charge under your current contract to exchange it for this Contract, and this Contract has its own surrender charges that would apply to you. The other fees and charges under this Contract may be higher or lower and the benefits may be different than those of your current contract. In addition, you may have to pay federal income or penalty taxes on the exchange if it does not qualify for tax-free treatment. You should not exchange another

5


contract for this Contract unless you determine, after evaluating all the facts, the exchange is in your best interests. Remember that the person selling you the Contract generally will earn a commission on the sale.

Is there a Right to Return Period? If you cancel the Contract within twenty days after you receive it, you will receive a full refund of your Contract Value plus any Contract charges and premium taxes you paid (but not fees and charges assessed by the Underlying Funds). Where state law requires a different right to return period, or the return of Purchase Payments, the Company will comply. You bear the investment risk on the Purchase Payment allocated to a Variable Funding Option during the right to return period; therefore, the Contract Value we return may be greater or less than your Purchase Payment.

If you purchased your Contract as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and you return it within the first seven days after delivery, or longer if your state law permits, we will refund your full Purchase Payment. During the remainder of the right to return period, we will refund your Contract Value (including charges we assessed). We will determine your Contract Value at the close of business on the day we receive a Written Request for a refund.

Can you give a general description of the Variable Funding Options and how they operate? The Variable Funding Options represent Subaccounts of The Separate Account. At your direction, the Separate Account, through its Subaccounts, uses your Purchase Payments to purchase units of one or more of the Underlying Funds that holds securities consistent with its own investment policy. Depending on market conditions, you may make or lose money in any of these Variable Funding Options.

You can transfer among the Variable Funding Options as frequently as you wish without any current tax implications. Currently there is no charge for transfers, nor a limit to the number of transfers allowed. We may, in the future, charge a fee for any transfer request, or limit the number of transfers allowed. At a minimum, we would always allow one transfer every six months. We reserve the right to restrict transfers that we determine will disadvantage other Contract Owners. You may transfer between the Fixed Account and the Variable Funding Options twice a year (during the 30 days after the six-month Contract Date anniversary), provided the amount is not greater than 15% of the Fixed Account value on that date.

What expenses will be assessed under the Contract? The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each. We deduct an administrative expense charge and a mortality and expense risk (“M&E”) charge daily from amounts you allocate to the Separate Account. We deduct the administrative expense charge at an annual rate of 0.15% and deduct the M&E at an annual rate of 1.02% for the Standard Death Benefit and 1.30% for the Enhanced Death Benefit. For Contracts with a value of less than $40,000, we also deduct an annual contract administrative charge of $30. Each Underlying Fund also charges for management costs and other expenses.

We will apply a withdrawal charge to withdrawals from the Contract, and will calculate it as a percentage of the Purchase Payments withdrawn. The maximum percentage is 6%, decreasing to 0% in years seven and later.

Upon annuitization, if the Variable Liquidity Benefit is selected, there is a maximum surrender charge of 6% of the amounts withdrawn. Please refer to The Annuity Period for a description of this benefit.

How will my Purchase Payments and withdrawals be taxed? Generally, the payments you make to a qualified Contract during the accumulation phase are made with before-tax dollars. Generally, you will be taxed on your Purchase Payments and on any earnings when you make a withdrawal or begin receiving Annuity Payments. Under a nonqualified Contract, payments to the Contract are made with after-tax dollars, and any credits and earnings will generally accumulate tax-deferred. You will be taxed on these earnings when they are withdrawn from the Contract. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal penalty tax on the amount withdrawn.

For owners of Qualified Contracts, if you reach a certain age, you may be required by federal tax laws to begin receiving payments from your annuity or risk paying a penalty tax. In those cases, we can calculate and pay you the minimum required distribution amounts.

How may I access my money? You can take withdrawals any time during the accumulation phase. Withdrawal charges may apply, and income taxes, and/or a penalty tax may apply to taxable amounts withdrawn.

What is the Death Benefit under the Contract? You may choose to purchase the Standard or Enhanced Death Benefit. The death benefit applies upon the first death of the Contract Owner, joint owner, or Annuitant. Assuming you are the Annuitant, the death benefit is as follows: If you die before the Contract is in the payout phase, the person you have chosen as your beneficiary will receive a death benefit. We calculate the death

6


benefit value at the close of the business day on which our Home Office receives (1) Due Proof of Death and (2) written payment instructions. The Enhanced Death Benefit may not be available in all states. Please refer to the Death Benefit section in the prospectus for more details.

Where may I find out more about Accumulation Unit values? The Condensed Financial Information in Appendix A or Appendix B to this prospectus provides more information about Accumulation Unit values.

Are there any additional features? This Contract has other features you may be interested in. These include:

    • Dollar Cost Averaging. This is a program that allows you to invest a fixed amount of money in Variable Funding Options each month, theoretically giving you a lower average cost per unit over time than a single one-time purchase. Dollar Cost Averaging requires regular investments regardless of fluctuating price levels, and does not guarantee profits or prevent losses in a declining market. Potential investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels.
    • Systematic Withdrawal Option. Before the Maturity Date, you can arrange to have money sent to you at set intervals throughout the year. Of course, any applicable income and penalty taxes will apply on amounts withdrawn. Withdrawals in excess of the annual free withdrawal allowance may be subject to a withdrawal charge
    • Automatic Rebalancing. You may elect to have the Company periodically reallocate the values in your Contract to match the rebalancing allocation selected.
    • Beneficiary Contract Continuance (not permitted for non-natural beneficiaries). If you die before the Maturity Date, and if the value of any beneficiary’s portion of the death benefit is between $20,000 and $1,000,000 as of the date of your death, that beneficiary(s) may elect to continue his/her portion of the Contract rather than have the death benefit paid to the beneficiary.

FEE TABLE

The purpose of this Fee Table is to assist Contract Owners in understanding the various costs and expenses that you will bear, directly or indirectly, if you purchase this Contract. See Charges and Deductions in this prospectus for additional information. Expenses shown do not include premium taxes, which may be applicable. Each Variable Funding Option purchases shares of the Underlying Fund at net asset value. The net asset value already reflects the deduction of each Underlying Fund’s Total Operating Expenses as shown in the table below; therefore, you are indirectly bearing the costs of Underlying Fund expenses.

We receive payments or offsets from some of the Underlying Funds, their affiliates or service providers for providing administrative or other services for a fund. These payments vary in amount and currently we receive payments at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the average net amount invested in an Underlying Fund on behalf of the Separate Accounts. These payments by the funds do not result in any charge to you in addition to the Total Annual Operating Expenses disclosed below for each fund.

  (3)  Each Portfolio of the Smith Barney Allocation Series Inc. (a "fund of funds") invests in the shares of other mutual funds ("underlying funds"). The Management Fee for each Portfolio is 0.35%. While the Portfolios have no direct expenses, the "Other Expenses" figure represents a weighted average of the total expense ratios of the underlying funds as of 1/31/02 (the fiscal year end of the Portfolios).
    
  (4)  Management fee includes an administration fee. Fund has a voluntary expense cap of 0.80%.
    
  (5)  Management fee includes an administration fee. Fund has a voluntary expense cap of 1.00%.
    
  (6)  Fund has a voluntary expense cap of 1.50%.

EXAMPLE:

These examples show what your costs would be under certain hypothetical situations. The examples do not represent past or future expenses. Your actual expenses may be more or less than those shown. We base examples on the annual expenses of the Underlying Funds for the year ended December 31, 2002. The examples are based on the Funds’ Total Annual Operating Expenses before reimbursement, and do not reflect any waivers or reimbursements. If you have selected Variable Funding Options that have voluntarily or contractually agreed to limit the Total Annual Operating Expenses, your expenses may be lower.

You would pay the following expenses on a $10,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual return and the maximum charges shown in the table above. If you choose the Standard Death Benefit, your expenses would be lower.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

See Appendices A and B.

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

Travelers Vintage Annuity is a contract between the Contract Owner (“you”) and the Company. This is the prospectus — it is not the Contract. The prospectus highlights many contract provisions to focus your attention on the Contract’s essential features. Your rights and obligations under the Contract will be determined by the language of the Contract itself. When you receive your Contract, we suggest you read it promptly and carefully. There may be differences in your Contract from the descriptions in this prospectus because of the requirements of the state where we issued your Contract. We will include any such differences in your Contract.

You make Purchase Payments to us and we credit them to your Contract. We promise to pay you an income, in the form of Annuity Payments, beginning on a future date that you choose, the Maturity Date. The Purchase Payments accumulate tax deferred in the funding options of your choice. We offer multiple Variable Funding Options. We may also offer a Fixed Account option. The Contract Owner assumes the risk of gain or loss according to the performance of the Variable Funding Options. The Contract Value is the amount of Purchase Payments, plus or minus any investment experience on the amounts you allocate to the Separate Account (“Separate Account Contract Value”) or interest on the amounts you allocate to the Fixed Account (“Fixed Account Contract Value”). The Contract Value also reflects all withdrawals made and charges deducted. There is generally no guarantee that at the Maturity Date the Contract Value will equal or exceed the total Purchase Payments made under t he Contract. The date the Contract and its benefits become effective is referred to as the Contract Date. Each 12-month period following the Contract Date is called a Contract Year.

Certain changes and elections must be made in writing to the Company. Where the term “Written Request” is used, it means that you must send written information to our Home Office in a form and content satisfactory to us.

Contract Owner Inquiries

Any questions you have about your Contract should be directed to our Home Office at 1-800-842-8573.

11


Purchase Payments

Your initial Purchase Payment is due and payable before the Contract becomes effective. The initial Purchase Payment must be at least $5,000. You may make additional payments of at least $500 at any time. No additional Purchase Payments are allowed if the Contract is purchased with beneficiary-directed proceeds from another contract. Under certain circumstances, we may waive the minimum Purchase Payment requirement. Purchase payments over $1,000,000 may be made only with our prior consent.

We will apply the initial Purchase Payment less any applicable premium tax (net Purchase Payment) within two business days after we receive it in good order at our Home Office. We will credit subsequent Purchase Payments to a Contract on the same business day we receive it, if it is received in good order by our Home Office by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. A business day is any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading (except when trading is restricted due to an emergency as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission).

Accumulation Units

The period between the Contract Date and the Maturity Date is the Accumulation Period. During the Accumulation Period, an Accumulation Unit is used to calculate the value of a Contract. An Accumulation Unit works like a share of a mutual fund. Each Variable Funding Option has a corresponding Accumulation Unit value. The Accumulation Units are valued each business day and their values may increase or decrease from day to day. The number of Accumulation Units we will credit to your Contract once we receive a Purchase Payment is determined by dividing the amount directed to each Variable Funding Option by the value of its Accumulation Unit. We calculate the value of an Accumulation Unit for each Variable Funding Option each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. The values are calculated as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. After the value is calculated, we credit your Contract. During the Annuity Period (i.e., after the Maturity Date), you are credited with Annuity Units.

The Variable Funding Options

You choose the Variable Funding Options to which you allocate your Purchase Payments. These Variable Funding Options are Subaccounts of the Separate Account. The Subaccounts invest in the Underlying Funds. You are not investing directly in the Underlying Fund. Each Underlying Fund is a portfolio of an open-end management investment company that is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. You will find detailed information about the funds and their inherent risks in the current fund prospectuses for the Underlying Funds. Since each option has varying degrees of risk, please read the prospectuses carefully. There is no assurance that any of the Underlying Funds will meet its investment objectives. Contact your registered representative or call 1-800-842-9406 to request additional copies of the prospectuses.

If any of the Underlying Funds become unavailable for allocating Purchase Payments, or if we believe that further investment in an Underlying Fund is inappropriate for the purposes of the Contract, we may substitute another funding option.However, we will not make any substitutions without notifying you and obtaining any state and SEC approval, if necessary. From time to time we may make new funding options available.

FIXED ACCOUNT

We offer our Fixed Account as a funding option. Please see Appendix C for more information.

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

General

We deduct the charges described below. The charges are for the service and benefits we provide, costs and expenses we incur, and risks we assume under the Contracts. Services and benefits we provide include:

    • the ability for you to make withdrawals and surrenders under the Contracts;
    • the death benefit paid on the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or first of the joint owners,
    • the available funding options and related programs (including dollar-cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, and systematic withdrawal programs);
    • administration of the annuity options available under the Contracts; and
    • the distribution of various reports to Contract Owners.

Costs and expenses we incur include:

    • losses associated with various overhead and other expenses associated with providing the services and benefits provided by the Contracts,
    • sales and marketing expenses including commission payments to your Smith Barney Financial Consultant, and
    • other costs of doing business.

Risks we assume include:

    • that Annuitants may live longer than estimated when the annuity factors under the Contracts were established;
    • that the amount of the death benefit will be greater than the Contract Value, and
    • that the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Contracts will exceed the charges deducted.
    • We may also deduct a charge for taxes.
15


Unless otherwise specified, charges are deducted proportionately from all funding options in which you are invested.

We may reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge, the administrative charges and/or the mortality and expense risk charge under the Contract when certain sales or administration of the Contract result in savings or reduced expenses and/or risks .For certain trusts, we may change the order in which Purchase Payments and earnings are withdrawn in order to determine the withdrawal charge. We will not reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge or the administrative charge where such reduction or elimination would be unfairly discriminatory to any person.

The amount of a charge may not necessarily correspond to the costs associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the designated charge. For example, the withdrawal charge we collect may not fully cover all of the sales and distribution expenses we actually incur. We may also profit on one or more of the charges. We may use any such profits for any corporate purpose, including the payment of sales expenses.

Withdrawal Charge

We do not deduct a sales charge from Purchase Payments when they are made to the Contract. However, a withdrawal charge will apply if Purchase Payments are withdrawn before they have been in the Contract for seven years. We will assess the charge as a percentage of the Purchase Payment withdrawn as follows:

  Years Since Purchase Payment Made   Withdrawal Charge  
 
 
 
  Greater than or equal to   But less than      
  0 years   3 years   6%  
  3 years   4 years   3%  
  4 years   5 years   2%  
  5 years   6 years   1%  
  6+years       0%  

For purposes of the withdrawal charge calculation, withdrawals are deemed to be taken first from:

            (a)   any Purchase Payment to which no withdrawal charge applies then

            (b)   any remaining free withdrawal allowance (as described below) (after being reduced by (a)),then

            (c)   any Purchase Payment to which a withdrawal charge applies (on a first-in, first-out basis) then

            (d)   any Contract earnings.

Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will deduct the withdrawal charge from the amount requested.

We will not deduct a withdrawal charge if Purchase Payments are distributed:

    • due to the death of the Contract Owner or the Annuitant (with no contingent Annuitant surviving)
    • if an annuity payout has begun
    • due to a minimum distribution under our minimum distribution rules then in effect
    • if an income option of at least five year’s duration is begun after the first Contract Year.

Free Withdrawal Allowance

Beginning in the second Contract Year, you may withdraw up to 15% of the Contract Value annually. We calculate the available withdrawal amount as of the end of the previous Contract Year. The free withdrawal provision applies to partial withdrawals only.

Administrative Charges

There are two administrative charges: the $30 annual contract administrative charge and the administrative expense charge. We will deduct the annual contract administrative charge on the fourth Friday of each August. This charge compensates us for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining the Contract and we will prorate this charge (i.e. calculate) from the date of purchase. We will also prorate this charge if you surrender

16


your Contract, or if we terminate your Contract. We will not deduct the contract administrative charge from the Fixed Account or:

            (1)   from the distribution of death proceeds;

            (2)   after an annuity payout has begun, or

            (3)   if the Contract Value on the date of assessment equals or is greater than $40,000.

We deduct the administrative expense charge (sometimes called “Subaccount administrative charge”) on each business day from amounts allocated to the Variable Funding Options to compensate the Company for certain related administrative and operating expenses. The charge equals, on an annual basis, 0.15% of the daily net asset value allocated to each of the Variable Funding Options, and is reflected in our accumulation and annuity unit value calculations.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

Each business day, we deduct a mortality and expense risk (“M&E”) charge from amounts we hold in the Variable Funding Options. We reflect the deduction in our calculation of accumulation and annuity unit values. The charges stated are the maximum for this product. We reserve the right to lower this charge at any time. If you choose the Standard Death Benefit, the M&E charge is 1.02% annually. If you choose the Enhanced Death Benefit, the M&E charge is 1.30% annually. This charge compensates the Company for risks assumed, benefits provided and expenses incurred, including the payment of commissions to your sales agent.

Variable Liquidity Benefit Charge

If the Variable Liquidity Benefit is selected, there is a maximum surrender charge of 6% of the amounts withdrawn. This charge is not assessed during the accumulation phase.

We will assess the charge as a percentage of the total benefit received as follows:

  Years Since Purchase Payment Made   Surrender Charge  
 
 
 
  Greater than or equal to   But less than      
  0 years   3 years   6%  
  3 years   4 years   3%  
  4 years   5 years   2%  
  5 years   6 years   1%  
  6+years       0%  

Please refer to The Annuity Period for a description of this benefit.

Variable Funding Option Expenses

We summarized the charges and expenses of the Underlying Funds in the fee table. Please review the prospectus for each Underlying Fund for a more complete description of that fund and its expenses.

Premium Tax

Certain state and local governments charge premium taxes ranging from 0% to 5%, depending upon jurisdiction. We are responsible for paying these taxes and will determine the method used to recover premium tax expenses incurred. We will deduct any applicable premium taxes from your Contract Value either upon death, surrender, annuitization, or at the time you make Purchase Payments to the Contract, but no earlier than when we have a tax liability under state law.

Changes in Taxes Based upon Premium or Value

If there is any change in a law assessing taxes against the Company based upon premiums, contract gains or value of the Contract, we reserve the right to charge you proportionately for this tax.

17


TRANSFERS

Up to 30 days before the Maturity Date, you may transfer all or part of the Contract Value between Variable Funding Options. Please note that the contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent trading in response to short-term fluctuations in the stock market. Therefore, all transfers are subject to the following restrictions:

(1)  Excessive Transfers. We reserve the right to restrict transfers if we determine you are engaging in a pattern of transfers that may disadvantage Contract Owners. In making this determination, we will consider, among other things, the following factors:

    • the total dollar amount being transferred;
    • the number of transfers you made within the previous three months;
    • whether your transfers follow a pattern designed to take advantage of short term market fluctuations; and
    • whether your transfers are part of a group of transfers made by a third party on behalf of the individual Contract Owners in the group.
(2)  Market Timers. We reserve the right to restrict transfers by any market timing firm or any other third party authorized to initiate transfers on behalf of multiple Contract Owners. We may, among other things:

    • reject the transfer instructions of any agent acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more than one owner, or
    • reject the transfer or exchange instructions of individual owners who have executed pre-authorized transfer forms which are submitted by market timing firms or other third parties on behalf of more than one owner.

If we choose to enforce our contractual rights to restrict transfers to once every six months, we will so notify you in writing.

Future Modifications. We will continue to monitor the transfer activity occurring among the Variable Funding Options, and may modify these transfer restrictions at any time if we deem it necessary to protect the interest of all Contract Owners. These modifications may include curtailing or eliminating, without notice, the ability to use the Internet, facsimile or telephone in making transfers.

If, in our sole discretion, we determine you are engaging in activity as described above or similar activity which will potentially hurt the rights or interests of Contract Owners, we will exercise our contractual right to restrict your number of transfers to one every six months. None of these restrictions are applicable to transfers made under a Dollar Cost Averaging Program or a rebalancing program.

We will make transfers at the value(s) next determined after we receive your request in good order at our Home Office. After the Maturity Date, you may make transfers only if allowed by your contract or with our consent. These restrictions are subject to any state law requirements.

Dollar Cost Averaging

Dollar cost averaging or the pre-authorized transfer program (the “DCA Program”) allows you to transfer a set dollar amount to other funding options on a monthly or quarterly basis during the accumulation phase of the Contract. Using this method, you will purchase more Accumulation Units in a funding option if the value per unit is low and will purchase fewer Accumulation Units if the value per unit is high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower-than-average cost per unit in the long run if you have the financial ability to continue the program over a long enough period of time. Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit or protect against a loss.

You may elect the DCA Program through Written Request or other method acceptable to us. You must have a minimum total Contract Value of $5,000 to enroll in the DCA Program. The minimum amount that may be transferred through this program is $400.

18


You may establish pre-authorized transfers of Contract Values from the Fixed Account, subject to certain restrictions. Under the DCA Program, automated transfers from the Fixed Account may not deplete your Fixed Account Value in less than twelve months from your enrollment in the DCA Program.

In addition to the DCA Program, we may credit increased interest rates to Contract Owners under an administrative Special DCA Program established at our discretion, depending on availability and state law. Under this program, the Contract Owner may pre-authorize level transfers to any of the funding options under either a 6 Month Program or 12 Month Program. The 6 Month Program and the 12 Month Program will generally have different credited interest rates. Under the 6 Month Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 6 months on amounts in the Special DCA Program and we must transfer all Purchase Payments and accrued interest on a level basis to the selected funding options in 6 months. Under the 12 Month Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 12 months on funds in the Special DCA Program and we must transfer all Purchase Payments and accrued interest in this Program on a level basis to the selected funding options in 12 months.

The pre-authorized transfers will begin after the initial Program Purchase Payment and complete enrollment instructions are received by the Company. If we do not receive complete Program enrollment instructions within 15 days of receipt of the initial Program Purchase Payment, the entire balance in the Program will be credited with the non-Program interest rate then in effect for the Fixed Account.

You may start or stop participation in the DCA Program at any time, but you must give the Company at least 30 days’ notice to change any automated transfer instructions that are currently in place. If you stop the Special DCA Program and elect to remain in the Fixed Account, we will credit your Contract Value for the remainder of 6 or 12 months with the interest rate for non-Program funds.

You may only have one DCA Program or Special DCA Program in place at one time. We will allocate any subsequent Purchase Payments we receive within the Program period selected to the current funding options over the remainder of that Program transfer period, unless you direct otherwise.

All provisions and terms of the Contract apply to the DCA and Special DCA Programs, including provisions relating to the transfer of money between funding options. We reserve the right to suspend or modify transfer privileges at any time and to assess a processing fee for this service.

ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

Any time before the Maturity Date, you may redeem all or any portion of the Cash Surrender Value, that is, the Contract Value less any withdrawal charge, outstanding loans, and any premium tax not previously deducted. Unless you submit a Written Request specifying the fixed or Variable Funding Option(s) from which we are to withdraw amounts, we will make the withdrawal on a pro rata basis. We will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the close of business after we receive your surrender request at our Home Office. The Cash Surrender Value may be more or less than the Purchase Payments you made. You may not make withdrawals during the annuity period.

For amounts allocated to the Variable Funding Options, we may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Value for a period of up to five business days after the Written Request is received. For amounts allocated to the fixed account, we may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Value for a period up to six months. In either case, it is our intent to pay as soon as possible. We cannot process requests for withdrawals that are not in good order. We will contact you if there is a deficiency causing a delay and will advise what is needed to act upon the withdrawal request.

Systematic Withdrawals

Before the Maturity Date, you may choose to withdraw a specified dollar amount (at least $100) on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. We will deduct any applicable premium taxes and withdrawal charge. To elect systematic withdrawals, you must have a Contract Value of at least $15,000 and you must make the election on the form we provide. We will surrender Accumulation Units pro rata from all funding options in which you have an interest, unless you instruct us otherwise. You may begin or discontinue systematic withdrawals at any time by notifying us in writing, but you must give at least 30 days’ notice to change any systematic withdrawal instructions that are currently in place.

19


We reserve the right to discontinue offering systematic withdrawals or to assess a processing fee for this service upon 30 days’ written notice to Contract Owners (where allowed by state law).

Each systematic withdrawal is subject to federal income taxes on the taxable portion. In addition, a 10% federal penalty tax may be assessed on systematic withdrawals if the Contract Owner is under age 591/2. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of systematic withdrawals.

Loans

Loans may be available under your Contract. Loans may only be taken against funds allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. If available, all loan provisions are described in your Contract or loan agreement.

OWNERSHIP PROVISIONS

Types of Ownership

Contract Owner

The Contract belongs to the Contract Owner named in the Contract (on the Contract Specifications page), or to any other person to whom you subsequently assign the Contract. You may only make an assignment of ownership or a collateral assignment for Nonqualified Contracts. You have sole power during the Annuitant’s lifetime to exercise any rights and to receive all benefits given in the Contract provided you have not named an irrevocable beneficiary and provided you have not assigned the Contract.

You receive all payments while the Annuitant is alive unless you direct them to an alternate recipient. An alternate recipient does not become the Contract Owner.

Joint Owner. For Nonqualified Contracts only, you may name joint owners (e.g., spouses) in a Written Request before the Contract is in effect. Joint owners may independently exercise transfers allowed under the Contract. All other rights of ownership must be exercised by both owners. Joint owners own equal shares of any benefits accruing or payments made to them.

Succeeding Owner. For nonqualified contracts only, if joint owners are not named, the Contract Owner may name a succeeding owner in a Written Request. The succeeding owner becomes the Contract Owner if living when the Contract Owner dies. The succeeding owner has no interest in the Contract before then. The Contract Owner may change or delete a succeeding owner by Written Request.

Beneficiary

You name the beneficiary in a Written Request. The beneficiary has the right to receive any death benefit proceeds remaining under the Contract upon the death of the Annuitant or the Contract Owner. If more than one beneficiary survives the Annuitant or Contract Owner, they will share equally in benefits unless you recorded different shares with the Company by Written Request before the death of the Annuitant or Contract Owner. In the case of a non-spousal beneficiary or a spousal beneficiary who has not chosen to assume the Contract, we will not transfer or otherwise remove the death benefit proceeds from either the Variable Funding Options or the Fixed Account, as most recently elected by the Contract Owner, until the Death Report Date.

Unless you have named an irrevocable beneficiary you have the right to change any beneficiary by Written Request during the lifetime of the Annuitant and while the Contract continues.

Annuitant

The Annuitant is designated in the Contract (on the Contract Specifications page), and is the individual on whose life the Maturity Date and the amount of the monthly Annuity Payments depend. You may not change the Annuitant after your Contract is in effect.

20


Contingent Annuitant

You may name one individual as a contingent Annuitant. A contingent Annuitant may not be changed, deleted or added to the Contract after the Contract Date. If the Annuitant who is not the owner dies prior to the Maturity Date, and the contingent Annuitant is still living;

  • the death benefit will not be payable upon the Annuitant’s death
  • the contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant
  • all other rights and benefits will continue in effect

When a contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant, the Maturity Date remains the same as previously in effect.

If the Annuitant is also the owner, a death benefit is paid to the beneficiary regardless of whether or not there is a contingent Annuitant.

You may not change, delete or add a contingent Annuitant after the Contract becomes effective.

DEATH BENEFIT

Before the Maturity Date, generally, a death benefit is payable when either the Annuitant or a Contract Owner dies. At purchase, you elect either the Standard Death Benefit, or the Enhanced Death Benefit (also referred to as the “Roll-Up Death Benefit”). The death benefit is calculated at the close of the business day on which the Company’s Home Office receives Due Proof of Death and written payment instructions or election of beneficiary contract continuance (“Death Report Date”).

Death Proceeds Before the Maturity Date

STANDARD DEATH BENEFIT

Death of any owner or the Annuitant before age 75. We will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greatest of (1), (2) or (3) below, each reduced by any applicable premium tax, withdrawals or outstanding loans not previously deducted:

 (1)  the Contract Value;
   
 (2)  the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract; or
   
 (3)  the Contract Value on the latest fifth Contract Year anniversary immediately preceding the date on which the Company receives Due Proof of Death.

Death of any owner or the Annuitant on or after age 75. We will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greatest of (1), (2) or (3) below, each reduced by any applicable premium tax, withdrawals or outstanding loans not previously deducted:

 (1)  the Contract Value;
   
 (2)  the total Purchase Payments made under the Contract; or
   
 (3)  the Contract Value on the latest fifth Contract Year anniversary occurring on or before the Annuitant’s 75th birthday.

ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT (ROLL-UP DEATH BENEFIT)
(not available when either the Annuitant or owner is age 76 or older on the Contract Date)

(please Refer to Appendix E for a description of the Enhanced Death Benefit for contracts purchased prior to June 1,1997.)

21


All death benefits described below are reduced by any applicable premium tax, prior withdrawals or outstanding loans not previously deducted.

Age at time of Death     Death Benefit  

   
 
If the Annuitant dies before age 80, the death
   benefit will be the greatest of:
 
  • the Contract Value on the Death Report Date  
       
  • the roll-up death benefit value on the Death Report Date (as described below)  
       
  • the maximum of all step-up death benefit values (as described below) available on the Death Report Date  
    If the Annuitant dies on or after age 80, the
       death benefit will be the greatest of:
     
  • the Contract Value on the Death Report Date  
       
  • the roll-up death benefit value (as described below) on the Annuitant’s 80th birthday, plus any additional Purchase Payments and minus any partial surrender reductions (as described below) that occur after the Annuitant’s 80th birthday; or  
       
  • The maximum of all step-up death benefit values (as described below) in effect on the Death Report Date which are associated with any Contract Date anniversary occurring on or before the Annuitant’s 80th birthday  

    The Roll-Up Death Benefit Value. On the Contract Date, the roll-up death benefit value is equal to the Purchase Payment. On each Contract Date anniversary, the roll-up death benefit value will be recalculated to equal (a) plus (b) minus (c), increased by 5%, where:

                (a)   is the roll-up death benefit value as of the previous Contract Date anniversary

                (b)   is any Purchase Payment during the previous Contract Year

                (c)   is any partial surrender reduction (as described below) during the previous Contract Year

    On dates other than the Contract Date anniversary, the roll-up death benefit value equals (a) plus (b) minus (c) where:

                (a)   is the roll-up death benefit value as of the previous Contract Date anniversary

                (b)   is any Purchase Payment made since the previous Contract Date anniversary

     (c)  is any partial surrender reduction (as described below) since the previous Contract Date anniversary.

    The maximum roll-up death benefit payable equals 200% of the difference between all Purchase Payments and all partial surrender reductions (as described below).

    Step-Up Value. We will establish a separate death benefit value on each anniversary of the Contract Date which occurs on or prior to the Death Report Date. The step-up value will initially equal the Contract Value on that anniversary. Whenever you make a Purchase Payment, we will increase the step-up value by the amount of that Purchase Payment. Whenever you take a withdrawal, we will reduce the step-up value by a partial surrender reduction as described below. Recalculations of step-up death benefit values related to any Purchase Payments or any withdrawals will be made in the order that such Purchase Payments or withdrawals occur.

    The Partial Surrender Reduction referenced above is equal to (1) the amount of a death benefit value (step-up or roll-up) immediately prior to the reduction for the withdrawal, multiplied by (2) the amount of the withdrawal divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal.

    For example, assume your current Contract Value is $55,000. If your original step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the step-up value as follows:

                50,000 ( (10,000/55,000) = $9,090

    22


    Your new step-up value would be 50,000 — 9,090 or $40,910.

    The following example shows what would happen in a declining market. Assume your current Contract Value is $30,000. If your original step-up value is $50,000, and you decide to make a withdrawal of $10,000, we would reduce the step-up value as follows:

                50,000 ( (10,000/30,000) = $16,666

    Your new step-up value would be 50,000 — 16,666, or $33,334.

    Payment of Proceeds

    We describe the process of paying death benefit proceeds before the Maturity Date in the charts below. The charts do not encompass every situation and are merely intended as a general guide. More detailed information is provided in your Contract. Generally, the person(s) receiving the benefit may request that the proceeds be paid in a lump sum, or be applied to one of the settlement options available under the Contract.

Non-spousal beneficiaries (as well as spousal beneficiaries who choose not to assume the Contract) must begin taking distributions based on the beneficiary’s life expectancy within one year of death or take a complete distribution of Contract proceeds within 5 years of death.

    Beneficiary Contract Continuance (Not permitted for non-natural beneficiaries)

    If you die before the Maturity Date, and if the value of any beneficiary’s portion of the death benefit is between $20,000 and $1,000,000 as of the Death Report Date, (more than $1,000,000 is subject to home office approval), your beneficiary(s) may elect to continue his/her portion of the Contract subject to applicable Internal Revenue Code distribution requirements, rather than receive the death benefit in a lump sum.

    If your beneficiary elects to continue the Contract, the death benefit will be calculated as of the Death Report Date. The initial Contract Value of the continued contract (the “adjusted Contract Value”) will equal the greater of the Contract Value or the death benefit calculated on the Death Report Date and will be allocated to the funding options in the same proportion as prior to the Death Report Date.

    The beneficiary who continues the Contract will be granted the same rights as the owner under the original Contract, except the beneficiary cannot:

      • transfer ownership
      • take a loan
      • make additional Purchase Payments

    The beneficiary may also name his/her own beneficiary (“succeeding beneficiary”) and has the right to take withdrawals at any time after the Death Report Date without a withdrawal charge. All other fees and charges applicable to the original contract will also apply to the continued contract. All benefits and features of the continued contract will be based on the beneficiary’s age on the Death Report Date as if the beneficiary had purchased the Contract with the adjusted Contract Value on the Death Report Date

    Planned Death Benefit

    You may request that rather than receive a lump-sum death benefit, the beneficiary(ies) receive all or a portion of the death benefit proceeds either:

      • through an annuity for life or a period that does not exceed the beneficiary’s life expectancy; or
      • under the terms of the Beneficiary Continuance provision described above. If the Beneficiary Continuance provision is selected as the planned death benefit, no surrenders will be allowed other than payments meant to satisfy minimum distribution amounts or systematic withdrawal amounts, if greater.

    You must make the planned death benefit request as well as any revocation of this request in writing. Upon your death, your beneficiary(s) cannot revoke or modify this request. If the death benefit at the time we receive Due Proof of Death is less than $2,000, we will only pay a lump sum to the beneficiary. If periodic payments due under the planned death benefit election are less than $100, we reserve the right to make Annuity Payments at less frequent intervals, resulting in a payment of at least $100 per year. If no beneficiary is alive when death benefits become payable, we will pay the death benefit as provided in your Contract.

    Death Proceeds after the Maturity Date

    If any Contract Owner or the Annuitant dies on or after the Maturity Date, the Company will pay the beneficiary a death benefit consisting of any benefit remaining under the annuity or income option then in effect.

    THE ANNUITY PERIOD

    Maturity Date

    Under the Contract, you can receive regular payments (“Annuity Payments”). You can choose the month and the year in which those payments begin (“Maturity Date”). You can also choose among payout options (annuity r income options) or elect a lump sum distribution. While the Annuitant is alive, you can change your selection any time up to the Maturity Date. Annuity or income payments will begin on the Maturity Date stated in the Contract unless (1) you fully surrendered the Contract; (2) we paid the proceeds to the beneficiary before that

    25


    date; or (3) you elected another date. Annuity payments are a series of periodic payments (a) for life; (b) for life with a minimum number of payments; or (c) for the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and another person, and thereafter during the lifetime of the survivor. We may require proof that the Annuitant is alive before we make Annuity Payments. Not all options may be available in all states.

    You may choose to annuitize at any time after you purchase your Contract. Unless you elect otherwise, the Maturity Date will be the Annuitant’s 70th birthday for Qualified Contracts, or for Nonqualified Contracts, the Annuitant’s 75th birthday or ten years after the effective date of the Contract, if later. (For Contracts issued in Florida and New York, the Maturity Date you elect may not be later than the Annuitant’s 90th birthday.)

    At least 30 days before the original Maturity Date, you may elect to extend the Maturity Date to any time prior to the Annuitant’s 85th birthday for Nonqualified Contracts, or 70th birthday for Qualified Contracts, or for all Contracts, to a later date with our consent. You may use certain annuity options taken at the Maturity Date to meet the minimum required distribution requirements of federal tax law, or you may use a program of withdrawals instead. These mandatory distribution requirements take effect generally upon the death of the Contract Owner, or with certain Qualified Contracts upon either the later of the Contract Owner’s attainment of age 701/2 or year of retirement; or the death of the Contract Owner. You should seek independent tax advice regarding the election of minimum required distributions.

    Allocation of Annuity

    You may elect to receive your Annuity Payments in the form of a variable annuity, a fixed annuity, or a combination of both. If, at the time Annuity Payments begin, you have not made an election, we will apply your Cash Surrender Value to provide an annuity funded by the same funding options as you have selected during the accumulation period. At least 30 days before the Maturity Date, you may transfer the Contract Value among the funding options in order to change the basis on which we will determine Annuity Payments. (See “Transfers.”)

    Variable Annuity

    You may choose an annuity payout that fluctuates depending on the investment experience of the Variable Funding Options. We determine the number of annuity units credited to the Contract by dividing the first monthly Annuity Payment attributable to each Variable Funding Option by the corresponding Accumulation Unit value as of 14 days before the date Annuity Payments begin. We use an annuity unit to measure the dollar value of an Annuity Payment. The number of annuity units (but not their value) remains fixed during the annuity period.

    Determination of First Annuity Payment. Your Contract contains the tables we use to determine your first monthly Annuity Payment. If you elect a variable annuity, the amount we apply to it will be the Cash Surrender Value as of 14 days before the date Annuity Payments begin, less any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted.

    The amount of your first monthly payment depends on the annuity option you elected and the Annuitant’s adjusted age. Your Contract contains the formula for determining the adjusted age. We determine the total first monthly Annuity Payment by multiplying the benefit per $1,000 of value shown in the Contract tables by the number of thousands of dollars of Contract Value you apply to that annuity option. The contract tables factor in an assumed daily net investment factor. We call this your net investment rate. Your net investment rate corresponds to an annual interest rate of 3%. This means that if the annualized investment performance, after expenses, of your Variable Funding Options is less than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable Annuity Payments will decrease. However, if the annualized investment performance, after expenses, of your Variable Funding Options is greater than 3%, then the dollar amount of your variable Annuity Payments will increase.

    Determination of Second and Subsequent Annuity Payments. The dollar amount of all subsequent Annuity Payments changes from month to month based on the investment experience, as described above, of the applicable funding options. The total amount of each Annuity Payment will equal the sum of the basic payments in each funding option. We determine the actual amounts of these payments by multiplying the number of annuity units we credited to each funding option by the corresponding annuity unit value as of the date 14 days before the date the payment is due.

    26


    Fixed Annuity

    You may choose a fixed annuity that provides payments that do not vary during the annuity period. We will calculate the dollar amount of the first fixed Annuity Payment as described under “Variable Annuity,” except that the amount we apply to begin the annuity will be your Cash Surrender Value as of the date Annuity Payments begin. Payout rates will not be lower than that shown in the Contract. If it would produce a larger payment, the first fixed Annuity Payment will be determined using the Life Annuity Tables in effect on the Maturity Date.

    PAYMENT OPTIONS

    Election of Options

    While the Annuitant is alive, you can change your annuity or income option selection any time up to the Maturity Date. Once annuity or income payments have begun, no further elections are allowed.

    During the Annuitant’s lifetime, if you do not elect otherwise before the Maturity Date, we will pay you (or another designated payee) the first of a series of monthly annuity or income payments based on the life of the Annuitant, in accordance with Annuity Option 2 (Life Annuity with 120 monthly payments assured). For certain qualified contracts, Annuity Option 4 (Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity — Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee) will be the automatic option as described in the Contract.

    The minimum amount that can be placed under an annuity or income option will be $1,000 unless we agree to a lesser amount. If any monthly periodic payment due is less than $100, the Company reserves the right to make payments at less frequent intervals, or to pay the Contract Value in a lump-sum.

    On the Maturity Date, we will pay the amount due under the Contract in accordance with the payment option that you select. You may choose to receive a single lump-sum payment. You must elect an option in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company. Any election made during the lifetime of the Annuitant must be made by the Contract Owner.

    Annuity Options

    Subject to the conditions described in “Election of Options” above, we may pay all or any part of the Cash Surrender Value under one or more of the following annuity options. Payments under the annuity options are generally made on a monthly basis. We may offer additional options.

    Option 1 — Life Annuity — No Refund. The Company will make Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant ending with the last payment before death. This option offers the maximum periodic payment, since there is no assurance of a minimum number of payments or provision for a death benefit for beneficiaries.

    Option 2 — Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Assured. The Company will make monthly Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant, with the agreement that if, at the death of that person, payments have been made for less than 120, 180 or 240 months, as elected, we will continue making payments to the beneficiary during the remainder of the period.

    Option 3 — Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity — No Refund. The Company will make regular Annuity Payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and a second person. When either person dies, we will continue making payments to the survivor. No further payments will be made following the death of the survivor.

    Option 4 — Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity — Annuity Reduced on Death of Primary Payee. The Company will make Annuity Payments during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and a second person. You will designate one as primary payee, and the other will be designated as secondary payee. On the death of the secondary payee, the Company will continue to make monthly Annuity Payments to the primary payee in the same amount that would have been payable during the joint lifetime of the two persons. On the death of the primary payee, the Company will continue to make Annuity Payments to the secondary payee in an amount equal to 50% of the payments, which would have been made during the lifetime of the primary payee. No further payments will be made once both payees have died.

    27


    Option 5 — Other Annuity Options. The Company will make any other arrangements for Annuity Payments as may be mutually agreed upon.

    Income Options

    Instead of one of the annuity options described above, and subject to the conditions described under “Election of Options,” all or part of the Contract’s Cash Surrender Value (or, if required by state law, Contract Value) may be paid under one or more of the following income options, provided that they are consistent with federal tax law qualification requirements. Payments under the income options may be elected on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis:

    Option 1 — Payments of a Fixed Amount. We will make equal payments of the amount elected until the Cash Surrender Value applied under this option has been exhausted. We will pay the first payment and all later payments from each funding option or the Fixed Account in proportion to the Cash Surrender Value attributable to each funding option and/or Fixed Account. The final payment will include any amount insufficient to make another full payment.

    Option 2 — Payments for a Fixed Period. We will make payments for the period selected.

    Option 3 — Other Income Options. We will make any other arrangements for income options as may be mutually agreed upon.

    Variable Liquidity Benefit

    This benefit is only offered with the income option Payments for a Fixed Period.

    At any time after annuitization and before death, the Contract Owner may surrender and receive a payment equal to (A) minus (B), where (A) equals the present value of remaining certain payments, and (B) equals a surrender charge not to exceed the maximum surrender charge rate shown on the specifications page of the contract multiplied by (A). The interest rate used to calculate the present value is a rate 1% higher than the Assumed (Daily) Net Investment Factor used to calculate the Annuity Payments. The remaining period certain payments are assumed to be level payments equal to the most recent period certain payment prior to the request for this liquidity benefit.

    MISCELLANEOUS CONTRACT PROVISIONS

    Right to Return

    You may return the Contract for a full refund of the Contract Value plus any contract charges and premium taxes you paid (but not any fees and charges the Underlying Fund assessed) within ten days after you receive it (the “right to return period”). You bear the investment risk of investing in the Variable Funding Options during the right to return period; therefore, the Contract Value we return may be greater or less than your Purchase Payment.

    If you purchase the Contract as an Individual Retirement Annuity, and return it within the first seven days after delivery, or longer if your state law permits, we will refund your Purchase Payment in full; during the remainder of the right to return period, we will refund the Contract Value (including charges).

    We will determine the Contract Value following the close of the business day on which we receive your Contract and a Written Request for a refund. Where state law requires a different period, or the return of Purchase Payments or other variations of this provision, we will comply. Refer to your Contract for any state-specific information.

    Termination

    You do not need to make any Purchase Payments after the first to keep the Contract in effect. However, we reserve the right to terminate the Contract on any business day if your Contract Value as of that date is less than $2,000 and you have not made Purchase Payments for at least two years, unless otherwise specified by state law. Termination will not occur until 31 days after we have mailed notice of termination to your last known address and to any assignee of record. If we terminate the Contract, we will pay you the Cash Surrender Value less any applicable taxes.

    28


    Required Reports

    As often as required by law, but at least once in each Contract Year before the due date of the first Annuity Payment, we will furnish a report showing the number of Accumulation Units credited to the Contract and the corresponding Accumulation Unit value(s) as of the report date for each funding option to which the Contract Owner has allocated amounts during the applicable period. The Company will keep all records required under federal and state laws.

    Suspension of Payments

    The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment or determination of values on any business day (1) when the New York Stock Exchange (“the Exchange”) is closed; (2) when trading on the Exchange is restricted; (3) when an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that the sale of securities held in the Separate Account may not reasonably occur or so that the Company may not reasonably determine the value the Separate Account’s net assets; or (4) during any other period when the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of security holders. Payments from the Fixed Account may be delayed up to 6 months.

    THE SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

    The Travelers Insurance Company and the Travelers Life and Annuity Company each sponsor Separate Accounts: Fund BD and Fund BD II, respectively. Fund BD was established on October 22, 1993 and Fund BD II was established on February 22, 1995, and both are registered with the SEC as unit investment trusts (Separate Account) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We will invest Separate Account assets attributable to the Contracts exclusively in the shares of the Variable Funding Options.

    We hold the assets of Fund BD and Fund BD II for the exclusive and separate benefit of the owners of each Separate Account, according to the laws of Connecticut. Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains and losses of the Company. The assets held by the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business that we may conduct. Obligations under the Contract are obligations of the Company.

    All investment income and other distributions of the funding options are payable to the Separate Account. We reinvest all such income and/or distributions in shares of the respective funding option at net asset value. Shares of the funding options are currently sold only to life insurance company Separate Accounts to fund variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts.

    Certain variable annuity Separate Accounts and variable life insurance Separate Accounts may invest in the funding options simultaneously (called “mixed” and “shared” funding). It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous to do so. Although the Company and the Variable Funding Options do not currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable annuity Contract Owners or variable life policy owners, each Underlying Fund’s Board of Directors intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between them and to determine what action, if any, should be taken. If a Board of Directors was to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and variable annuity Separate Accounts, the variable annuity Contract Owners would not bear any of the related expenses, but variable annuity Contract Owners and variable life insurance policy owners would no longer have the economies of scale resulting fro m a larger combined fund.

    Performance Information

    From time to time, we may advertise several types of historical performance for the Contract’s Variable Funding Options. We may advertise the “standardized average annual total returns” of the Variable Funding Option, calculated in a manner prescribed by the SEC, and the “nonstandardized total return,” as described below. Specific examples of the performance information appear in the SAI.

    29


    Standardized Method. We compute quotations of average annual total returns according to a formula in which a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 is applied to the Variable Funding Option, and then related to ending redeemable values over one-, five-, and ten-year periods, or for a period covering the time during which the funding option has been in existence, if less. These quotations reflect the deduction of all recurring charges during each period (on a pro rata basis in the case of fractional periods). We convert the deduction for the annual contract administrative charge to a percentage of assets based on the actual fee collected, divided by the average net assets for Contracts sold. Each quotation assumes a total redemption at the end of each period with the applicable withdrawal charge deducted at that time.

    Nonstandardized Method. We calculate nonstandardized “total returns” in a similar manner based on the performance of the funding options over a period of time, usually for the calendar year-to-date, and for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. Nonstandardized total returns will not reflect the deduction of the annual contract administrative charge, which, if reflected, would decrease the level of performance shown. These returns also do not reflect the withdrawal charge because we designed the Contract for long-term investment.

    For Underlying Funds that were in existence before they became available as a funding option, the nonstandardized average annual total return quotations reflects the investment performance that such funding options would have achieved (reduced by the applicable charges) had the Underlying Fund been held under the Contract for the period quoted. The total return quotations are based upon historical earnings and are not necessarily representative of future performance.

    General. Within the guidelines prescribed by the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”), performance information may be quoted numerically or may be presented in a table, graph or other illustration. Advertisements may include data comparing performance to well-known indices of market performance (including, but not limited to, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, the S&P 400 Index, the Lehman Brothers Long T-Bond Index, the Russell 1000, 2000 and 3000 Indices, the Value Line Index, and the Morgan Stanley Capital International’s EAFE Index). Advertisements may also include published editorial comments and performance rankings compiled by independent organizations (including, but not limited to, Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and Morningstar, Inc.) and publications that monitor the performance of the Separate Account and the Variable Funding Options.

    FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

    The following general discussion of the federal income tax consequences under this Contract is not intended to cover all situations, and is not meant to provide tax or legal advice. Because of the complexity of the law and the fact that the tax results will vary depending on many factors, you should consult your tax and/or legal adviser regarding your personal situation. For your information, a more detailed tax discussion is contained in the SAI.

    Non-Resident Aliens

    Distributions to non-resident aliens (“NRAs”) are subject to special and complex tax and withholding rules under the Code, some of which are based upon the particular facts and circumstances of the contract owner, the beneficiary and the transaction itself. In addition, annuity payments to NRAs in many countries are exempt from U.S. tax (or subject to lower rates) based upon a tax treaty. NRAs should seek guidance from a tax adviser regarding their personal situation.

    General Taxation of Annuities

    Congress has recognized the value of saving for retirement by providing certain tax benefits, in the form of tax deferral, for money put into an annuity. The Internal Revenue Code (Code) governs how this money is ultimately taxed, depending upon the type of Contract, qualified or non-qualified, and the manner in which the money is distributed, as briefly described below.

    Tax-Free Exchanges: The Internal Revenue Code provides that, generally, no gain or loss is recognized when an annuity

    30


    Contract is received in exchange for a life, endowment, or annuity Contract. Since different annuity Contracts have different expenses, fees and benefits, a tax-free exchange could result in your investment becoming subject to higher or lower fees and/or expenses.

    Types of Contracts: Qualified or Nonqualified

    If you purchase an annuity Contract with proceeds of an eligible rollover distribution from any qualified employee pension plan or individual retirement annuity (IRA), your Contract is referred to as a qualified Contract. Some examples of Qualified Contracts are: IRAs, tax-sheltered annuities established by public school systems or certain tax-exempt organizations under Code Section 403(b), corporate sponsored pension and profit-sharing plans (including 401(k) plans), Keogh Plans (for self-employed individuals), and certain other qualified deferred compensation plans. Another type of qualified contract is a Roth IRA, under which after-tax contributions accumulate until maturity, when amounts (including earnings) may be withdrawn tax-free. The rights and benefits under a qualified Contract may be limited by the terms of the retirement plan, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract. If you purchase the Contract on an individual basis with after-tax dollars and not under one of the programs described above, your Contract is referred to as nonqualified.

    Nonqualified Annuity Contracts

    As the owner of a nonqualified annuity, you do not receive any tax benefit (deduction or deferral of income) on purchase payments, but you will not be taxed on increases in the value of your Contract until a distribution occurs — either as a withdrawal (distribution made prior to the maturity date), or as annuity payments. When a withdrawal is made, you are taxed on the amount of the withdrawal that is considered earnings under applicable tax laws. Similarly, when you receive an annuity payment, part of each payment is considered a return of your purchase payments and will not be taxed. The remaining portion of the annuity payment (i.e., any earnings) will be considered ordinary income for tax purposes.

    If a nonqualified annuity is owned by other than an individual, however, (e.g., by a corporation), increases in the value of the Contract attributable to purchase payments made after February 28, 1986 are includible in income annually. Furthermore, for Contracts issued after April 22, 1987, if you transfer the Contract to another person or entity without adequate consideration, all deferred increases in value will be includable in your income at the time of the transfer.

    If you make a partial withdrawal, this money will generally be taxed as first coming from earnings, (income in the contract), and then from your purchase payments. These withdrawn earnings are includable in your taxable income. (See “Penalty Tax for Premature Distributions” below.) There is income in the Contract to the extent the contract value exceeds your investment in the Contract. The investment in the Contract equals the total purchase payments you paid less any amount received previously which was excludible from gross income. Any direct or indirect borrowing against the value of the Contract or pledging of the Contract as security for a loan will be treated as a cash distribution under the tax law, and will have tax consequences in the year taken.

    Federal tax law requires that nonqualified annuity Contracts meet minimum mandatory distribution requirements upon the death of the contract owner, including the first of joint owners. If these requirements are

    31


    not met, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity Contract for Federal income tax purposes and earnings under the Contract will be taxable currently, not when distributed. The distribution required depends, among other things, upon whether an annuity option is elected or whether the succeeding contract owner is the surviving spouse. We will administer Contracts in accordance with these rules and we will notify you when you should begin receiving payments. There is a more complete discussion of these rules in the SAI.

    Puerto Rico Tax Considerations

    The Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994 (the “1994 Code”) taxes distributions from nonqualified annuity contracts differently than in the U.S. Distributions that are not in the form of an annuity (including partial surrenders and period certain payments) are treated under the 1994 Code first as a return of investment. Therefore, no taxable income is recognized for Puerto Rico tax purposes until the cumulative amount paid exceeds your tax basis. Similarly, the amount of income on annuity distributions (payable over your lifetime) is calculated differently. Since Puerto Rico residents are also subject to U.S. income tax on all income other than income sourced to Puerto Rico, the timing of recognition of income from an annuity contract could vary between the two jurisdictions. Although the 1994 Code provides a credit against the Puerto Rico income tax for U.S. income taxes, an individual may not get full credit because of the timing differences. You should consult w ith a personal tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of purchasing an annuity contract and/or any proposed distribution, particularly a partial distribution or election to annuitize.

    Qualified Annuity Contracts

    Under a qualified annuity, since amounts paid into the Contract have generally not yet been taxed, the full amount of such distributions, including lump-sum withdrawals and annuity payments, are generally taxed at the ordinary income tax rate unless the distribution is transferred to an eligible rollover account or Contract. The Contract is available as a vehicle for IRA rollovers and for other Qualified Contracts. There are special rules which govern the taxation of Qualified Contracts, including withdrawal restrictions, requirements for mandatory distributions, and contribution limits. We have provided a more complete discussion in the SAI.

    Note to participants in qualified plans including 401, 403(b), 457 as well as IRA owners: While annual plan contribution limits may be increased from time to time by Congress and the IRS for federal income tax purposes, these limits must be adopted by each state for the higher limits to be effective at a state income tax level. In other words, the permissible contribution limit for income tax purposes may be different at the federal level from your state's income tax laws. Please consult your employer or tax adviser regarding this issue.

    Penalty Tax for Premature Distributions

    For both qualified and nonqualified contracts, taxable distributions taken before the contract owner has reached the age of 59½ will be subject to a 10% additional tax penalty unless the distribution is taken in a series of periodic distributions, for life or life expectancy, or unless the distribution follows the death or disability of the contract owner. Other exceptions may be available in certain qualified plans. The 10% additional tax is in addition to any penalties that may apply under your Contract and the normal income taxes due on the distribution.

    Diversification Requirements for Variable Annuities

    The Code requires that any nonqualified variable annuity Contracts based on a separate account shall not be treated as an annuity for any period if investments made in the account are not adequately diversified. Final tax regulations define how separate accounts must be diversified. The Company monitors the diversification of investments constantly and believes that its accounts are adequately diversified. The consequence of any failure to diversify is essentially the loss to the Contract owner of tax-deferred treatment. The Company intends to administer all Contracts subject to this provision of law in a manner that will maintain adequate diversification.

    Ownership of the Investments

    In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity Contracts have been considered to be the owners of the assets of the underlying separate account for Federal income tax purposes due to their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. When this is the case, the contract owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the Contract, such as the number of funds available and the flexibility of the contract owner to allocate premium payments and transfer amounts among the funding options, have not been addressed in public rulings. While we believe that the Contract does not give the contract owner investment control over separate account assets, we reserve the right to modify the Contract as necessary to prevent a contract owner from being treated as the owner of the separate account assets supporting the Contract.

    Mandatory Distributions For Qualified Plans

    Federal tax law requires that minimum annual distributions begin by April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which an IRA owner attains age 70½. Participants in qualified plans and 403(b) annuities may defer minimum distributions until the later of April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which they attain age 70½ or the year of retirement.

    Minimum Distributions For Beneficiaries When a death benefit becomes due upon the death of the owner and/or annuitant, minimum distributions may be taken over the life expectancy of the beneficiary not less than annually within one year from the date of death or the funds remaining in the Contract must be completely withdrawn within five years from the date of death.

    32


    Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds

    Amounts may be distributed from a Contract because of the death of an owner or annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a full surrender of the contract; or (ii) if distributed under a payment option, they are taxed in the same way as annuity payments.

    Financial Statements

    The financial statements for the Company and its Separate Account are located in the Statement of Additional Information.

    Distribution of Variable Annuity Contracts

    We intend to sell the Contracts in all jurisdictions where we are licensed to do business and where the Contract is approved. Any registered representative of affiliated or independent broker-dealers who sell the Contracts will be qualified to sell variable annuities under applicable federal and state laws. Each broker-dealer is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and all are members of the NASD. The principal underwriter of the Contracts is our affiliate, Travelers Distribution LLC, One Cityplace, Hartford, CT.

    Up-front compensation paid to sales representatives will not exceed 10% of the Purchase Payments made under the Contracts. If asset based compensation is paid, it will not exceed 2% of the average account value annually. Also, we may pay additional compensation or permit other promotional incentives in cash, credit or other compensation for, among other things, training, marketing and services provided.

    Conformity with State and Federal Laws

    The laws of the state in which we deliver a Contract govern that Contract. Where a state has not approved a Contract feature or funding option, it will not be available in that state. Any paid-up annuity, Cash Surrender Value or death benefits that are available under the Contract are not less than the minimum benefits required by the statutes of the state in which we delivered the Contract. We reserve the right to make any changes, including retroactive changes, in the Contract to the extent that the change is required to meet the requirements of any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which the Company, the Contract or the Contract Owner is subject.

    Voting Rights

    The Company is the legal owner of the shares of the Underlying Funds. However, we believe that when an Underlying Fund solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders we are required to obtain from you and from other owners instructions on how to vote those shares. We will vote all shares, including those we

    33



    may own on our own behalf, and those where we have not received instructions from Contract Owners, in the same proportion as shares for which we received voting instructions. Should we determine that we are no longer required to comply with the above, we will vote on the shares in our own right. In certain limited circumstances, and when permitted by law, we may disregard voting instructions. If we do disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons for such action would be included in the next annual report to Contract Owners.

    Legal Proceedings and Opinions

    Legal matters in connection with the federal laws and regulations affecting the issue and sale of the contract described in this prospectus, as well as the organization of the Companies, their authority to issue variable annuity contracts under Connecticut law and the validity of the forms of the variable annuity contracts under Connecticut law, have been passed on by the Deputy General Counsel of the Companies.

    There are no pending legal proceedings affecting either Separate Account or the principal underwriter. There are no pending legal proceedings against either Company likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of either Company to meet its obligations under the applicable Contract.

    APPENDIX C

    THE FIXED ACCOUNT

    The Fixed Account is part of the Company’s general account assets. These general account assets include all assets of the Company other than those held in the Separate Accounts sponsored by the Company or its affiliates.

    The staff of the SEC does not generally review the disclosure in the prospectus relating to the Fixed Account. Disclosure regarding the Fixed Account and the general account may, however, be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus.

    Under the Fixed Account, the Company assumes the risk of investment gain or loss, guarantees a specified interest rate, and guarantees a specified periodic Annuity Payment. The investment gain or loss of the Separate Account or any of the funding options does not affect the Fixed Account Contract Value, or the dollar amount of fixed Annuity Payments made under any payout option.

    We guarantee that, at any time, the Fixed Account Contract Value will not be less than the amount of the Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account, plus interest credited as described below, less any applicable premium taxes or prior withdrawals.

    Purchase payments allocated to the Fixed Account and any transfers made to the Fixed Account become part of the Company’s general account, which supports insurance and annuity obligations. The general account and any interest therein is not registered under, or subject to the provisions of, the Securities Act of 1933 or Investment Company Act of 1940. We will invest the assets of the Fixed Account at our discretion. Investment income from such Fixed Account assets will be allocated to us and to the Contracts participating in the Fixed Account.

    Investment income from the Fixed Account allocated to us includes compensation for mortality and expense risks borne by us in connection with Fixed Account Contracts. The amount of such investment income allocated to the Contracts will vary from year to year in our sole discretion at such rate or rates as we prospectively declare from time to time.

    We guarantee the initial rate for any allocations into the Fixed Account for one year from the date of such allocation. We guarantee subsequent renewal rates for the calendar quarter. We also guarantee that for the life of the Contract we will credit interest at not less than 3% per year. We will determine any interest we credit to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account in excess of 3% per year in our sole discretion. You assume the risk that interest credited to the Fixed Account may not exceed the minimum guarantee of 3% for any given year.

    Transfers

    You may make transfers from the Fixed Account to any other available Variable Funding Option(s) twice a year during the 30 days following the semiannual anniversary of the Contract Date. We limit transfers to an amount of up to 15% of the Fixed Account Contract Value on the semiannual Contract Date anniversary. (This restriction does not apply to transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.) Amounts previously transferred from the Fixed Account to Variable Funding Options may not be transferred back to the Fixed Account for a period of at least six months from the date of transfer. We reserve the right to waive either of these restrictions.

    Automated transfers from the Fixed Account to any of the Variable Funding Options may begin at any time. Automated transfers from the Fixed Account may not deplete your Fixed Account value in a period of less than twelve months from your enrollment in the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.

    APPENDIX E

    Enhanced Death Benefit for Contracts Issued Before June 1, 1997

    If the Annuitant dies before age 75 and before the Maturity Date, the Company will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit equal to the greater of (1) the guaranteed death benefit, or (2) the Contract Value less any applicable premium tax or outstanding loans.

    If the Annuitant dies on or after age 75 and before the Maturity Date, the Company will pay to the beneficiary a death benefit in an amount equal to the greater of (1) the guaranteed death benefit as of the Annuitant's 75th birthday, plus additional Purchase Payments, minus surrenders, outstanding loans and applicable premium tax; or (2) the Contract Value less any applicable premium tax and outstanding loans.

    The guaranteed death benefit is equal to the Purchase Payments made to the Contract (minus surrenders, outstanding loans and applicable premium tax) increased by 5% on each Contract Date anniversary, but not beyond the Contract Date anniversary following the Annuitant's 75th birthday, with a maximum guaranteed death benefit of 200% of the total Purchase Payments minus surrenders and outstanding loans and applicable premium tax.

    THE INSURANCE COMPANY

    The Travelers Life and Annuity Company (the “Company”) is a stock insurance company chartered in 1973 in Connecticut and continuously engaged in the insurance business since that time. The Company is licensed to conduct a life insurance business in all states (except New York) and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Company’s Home Office is located at One Cityplace Hartford, Connecticut 06103-3415 and its telephone number is (860) 308-1000.

    The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Travelers Insurance Company, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), a diversified holding company whose businesses provide a broad range of financial services to consumer and corporate customers around the world. Citigroup’s activities are conducted through the Global Consumer, Global Corporate and Investment Bank, Global Investment Management and Private Banking, and Investment Activities segments.

    State Regulation. The Company is subject to the laws of the state of Connecticut governing insurance companies and to regulation by the Insurance Commissioner of the state of Connecticut (the “Commissioner”). An annual statement covering the operations of the Company for the preceding year, as well as its financial conditions as of December 31 of such year, must be filed with the Commissioner in a prescribed format on or before March 1 of each year. The Company’s books and assets are subject to review or examination by the Commissioner or his agents at all times, and a full examination of its operations is conducted at least once every four years.

    The Company is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of all other states in which it is licensed to operate. However, the insurance departments of each of these states generally apply the laws of the home state (jurisdiction of domicile) in determining the field of permissible investments.

    The Separate Account. The Travelers Fund BD II for Variable Annuities (“Fund BD II”) meets the definition of a separate account under the federal securities laws, and will comply with the provisions of the 1940 Act. Additionally, the operations of Fund BD II are subject to the provisions of Section 38a-433 of the Connecticut General Statutes, which authorizes the Commissioner to adopt regulations under it. Section 38a-433 contains no restrictions on the investments of Fund BD II, and the Commissioner has adopted no regulations under the Section that affect Fund BD II.

    PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

    Travelers Distribution LLC (“TDLLC”) serves as principal underwriter for Fund BD II and the Contracts. The offering is continuous. TDLLC’s principal executive offices are located at One Cityplace, Hartford, Connecticut. TDLLC is affiliated with the Company and Fund BD II.

    DISTRIBUTION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

    Under the terms of the Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement among Fund BD II, TDLLC and the Company, TDLLC acts as agent for the distribution of the Contracts and as principal underwriter for the Contracts. The Company reimburses TDLLC for certain sales and overhead expenses connected with sales functions.

    VALUATION OF ASSETS

    Funding Options: The value of the assets of each Funding Option is determined at 4:00 p.m. eastern time on each business day, unless we need to close earlier due to an emergency. A business day is any day the New York Stock Exchange is open. It is expected that the Exchange will be closed on Saturdays and Sundays and on the observed holidays of New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Each security traded on a national securities exchange is valued at the last reported sale price on the business day. If there has been no sale on that day, then the value of the security is taken to be the mean between the reported bid and asked prices on the business day or on the basis of quotations received from a reputable broker or any other recognized source.

    Any security not traded on a securities exchange but traded in the over-the-counter-market and for which market quotations are readily available is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices on the business day or on the basis of quotations received from a reputable broker or any other recognized source.

    2


    Securities traded on the over-the-counter-market and listed securities with no reported sales are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices or on the basis of quotations received from a reputable broker or other recognized source.

    Short-term investments for which a quoted market price is available are valued at market. Short-term investments maturing in more than sixty days for which there is no reliable quoted market price are valued by “marking to market” (computing a market value based upon quotations from dealers or issuers for securities of a similar type, quality and maturity.) “Marking to market” takes into account unrealized appreciation or depreciation due to changes in interest rates or other factors which would influence the current fair values of such securities. Short-term investments maturing in sixty days or less for which there is no reliable quoted market price are valued at amortized cost which approximates market.

    The Contract Value: The value of an Accumulation Unit on any business day is determined by multiplying the value on the preceding business day by the net investment factor for the valuation period just ended. The net investment factor is used to measure the investment performance of a Funding Option from one valuation period to the next. The net investment factor for a Funding Option for any valuation period is equal to the sum of 1.000000 plus the net investment rate (the gross investment rate less any applicable Funding Option deductions during the valuation period relating to the mortality and expense risk charge and the administrative expense charge). The gross investment rate of a Funding Option is equal to (a) minus (b), divided by (c) where:

                     (a) = investment income plus capital gains and losses (whether realized or unrealized);

                     (b) = any deduction for applicable taxes (presently zero); and

                     (c) = the value of the assets of the funding option at the beginning of the valuation period.

    The gross investment rate may be either positive or negative. A Funding Option’s investment income includes any distribution whose ex-dividend date occurs during the valuation period.

    Accumulation Unit Value. The value of the accumulation unit for each Funding Option was initially established at $1.00. The value of an accumulation unit on any business day is determined by multiplying the value on the preceding business day by the net investment factor for the valuation period just ended. The net investment factor is calculated for each Funding Option and takes into account the investment performance, expenses and the deduction of certain expenses.

    Annuity Unit Value. The initial Annuity Unit Value applicable to each Funding Option was established at $1.00. An Annuity Unit Value as of any business day is equal to (a) the value of the Annuity Unit on the preceding business day, multiplied by (b) the corresponding net investment factor for the business day just ended, divided by (c) the assumed net investment factor for the valuation period. (For example, the assumed net investment factor based on an annual assumed net investment rate of 3.0% for a valuation period of one day is 1.000081 and, for a period of two days, is 1.000081 x 1.000081.)

    PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

    From time to time, the Company may advertise several types of historical performance for the Funding Options of Fund BD II. The Company may advertise the “standardized average annual total returns” of the Funding Options available through Fund BD II, calculated in a manner prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the “nonstandardized total returns,” as described below:

    STANDARDIZED METHOD. Quotations of average annual total returns are computed according to a formula in which a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 is allocated to the Funding Option, and then related to ending redeemable values over one-, five- and ten-year periods, or for a period covering the time during which the Funding Option has been in existence, if less. If a Funding Option has been in existence for less than one year, the “since inception” total return performance quotations are year-to-date and are not average annual total returns. These quotations reflect the deduction of all recurring charges during each period (on a pro rata basis in the case of fractional periods). The deduction for the annual contract administrative charge is converted to a percentage of assets based on the actual fee collected, divided by the average net assets per contract sold under the Prospectus to which this SAI relates. Each quotation assumes a total redemption at the en d of each period with any applicable withdrawal charge deducted at that time.

    3


    NONSTANDARDIZED METHOD. Nonstandardized “total returns” will be calculated in a similar manner based on the performance of the Funding Options over a period of time, usually for the calendar year-to-date, and for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. Nonstandardized total returns will not reflect the deduction of any applicable withdrawal charge or the annual contract administrative charge, which, if reflected, would decrease the level of performance shown. The withdrawal charge is not reflected because the Contract is designed for long-term investment.

    For Funding Options that were in existence before they became available under Fund BD II, the nonstandardized average annual total return quotations will reflect the investment performance that such Funding Options would have achieved (reduced by the applicable charges) had they been held under the Contract for the period quoted. The total return quotations are based upon historical earnings and are not necessarily representative of future performance.

    Average annual total returns for each of the Funding Options computed according to the standardized and nonstandardized methods for the period ending December 31, 2002 are set forth in the following tables.

    FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

    The following description of the federal income tax consequences under this Contract is general in nature and is therefore not exhaustive and is not intended to cover all situations. Because of the complexity of the law and the fact that the tax results will vary according to the factual status of the individual involved, a person contemplating purchase of an annuity contract and by a contract owner or beneficiary who may make elections under a contract should consult with a qualified tax or legal adviser.

    Mandatory Distributions for Qualified Plans

    Federal tax law requires that minimum annual distributions begin by April 1st of the calendar year following the later of calendar year in which a participant under a qualified plan or a Section 403(b) annuity attains age 70½ or retires. Minimum annual distributions under an IRA must begin by April 1st of the calendar year in which the contract owner attains 70½ regardless of when he or she retires. Distributions must also begin or be continued according to the minimum distribution rules under the Code following the death of the contract owner or the annuitant.

    Nonqualified Annuity Contracts

    Individuals may purchase tax-deferred annuities without any limits. The purchase payments receive no tax benefit, deduction or deferral, but taxes on the increases in the value of the contract are generally deferred until distribution. Generally, if an annuity contract is owned by other than an individual (or an entity such as a trust or other “look-through” entity which owns for an individual’s benefit), the owner will be taxed each year on the increase in the value of the contract. An exception applies for purchase payments made before March 1, 1986.

    If two or more annuity contracts are purchased from the same insurer within the same calendar year, such annuity contract will be aggregated for federal income tax purposes. As a result, distributions from any of them will be taxed based upon the amount of income in all of the same calendar year series of annuities. This will generally have the effect of causing taxes to be paid sooner on the deferred gain in the contracts.

    Those receiving partial distributions made before the maturity date will generally be taxed on an income-first basis to the extent of income in the contract. If you are exchanging another annuity contract for this annuity, certain pre-August 14, 1982 deposits into an annuity contract that have been placed in the contract by means of a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1035 of the Code may be withdrawn first without income tax liability. This information on deposits must be provided to the Company by the other insurance company at the time of the exchange. There is income in the contract generally to the extent the cash value exceeds the investment in the contract. The investment in the contract is equal to the amount of premiums paid less any amount received previously which was excludable from gross income. Any direct or indirect borrowing against the value of the contract or pledging of the contract as security for a loan will be treated as a cash distribution under the tax law .

    In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, Section 72(s) of the Code requires any non-qualified contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the contract will be distributed in the event of the death of an owner of the contract. Specifically, Section 72(s) requires that (a) if an owner dies on or after the annuity starting date, but prior to the time the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the entire interest in the contract will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of such owner’s death; and (b) if any owner dies prior to the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the contract will be distributed within five years after the date of such owner’s death. These requirements will be considered satisfied as to any portion of an owner’s interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a designated beneficiary and which is dist ributed over the life of such designated beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary, provided that such distributions begin within one year of the owner’s death. The designated beneficiary refers to a natural person designated by the owner as a beneficiary and to whom ownership of the contract passes by reason of death. However, if the designated beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the deceased owner, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the successor-owner. Contracts will be administered by the Company in accordance with these rules and the Company will make a notification when payments should be commenced. Special rules apply regarding distribution requirements when an annuity is owned by a trust or other entity for the benefit of one or more individuals.

    Individual Retirement Annuities

    To the extent of earned income for the year and not exceeding the applicable limit for the taxable year, an individual may make deductible contributions to an individual retirement annuity (IRA). The applicable limit ($2,000 per year prior to 2002) has been increased by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (“EGTRRA”). The limit is $3,000 for calendar years 2002 – 2004, $4,000 for calendar years 2005-2007, and $5,000 for 2008, and will be indexed for inflation in years subsequent to 2008. There are certain limits on the deductible amount based on the adjusted gross income of the individual and spouse and based on their participation in a retirement plan. If an individual is married and the spouse does not have earned income, the individual may establish IRAs for the individual and spouse. Purchase payments may then be made annually into IRAs for both spouses in the maximum amount of 100% of earned income up to a combined limit based on the ind ividual limits outlined above.

    The Code provides for the purchase of a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan. A SEP is funded through an IRA with an annual employer contribution limit of up to $40,000 for each participant. The Internal Revenue Services has not reviewed the contract for qualifications as an IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether a death benefit provision such as the optional enhanced death benefit in the contract comports with IRA qualification requirements.

    SIMPLE Plan IRA Form

    Effective January 1, 1997, employers may establish a savings incentive match plan for employees (“SIMPLE plan”) under which employees can make elective salary reduction contributions to an IRA based on a percentage of compensation of up to the applicable limit for the taxable year. The applicable limit was increased under EGTRRA. The applicable limit was increased under EGTRRA to $7,000 for 2002, $8,000 for 2003, $9,000 in 2004, $10,000 in 2005 (which will be indexed for inflation for years after 2005. (Alternatively, the employer can establish a SIMPLE cash or deferred arrangement under IRS Section 401(k)). Under a SIMPLE plan IRA, the employer must either make a matching contribution or a nonelective contribution based on the prescribed formulas for all eligible employees. Early withdrawals are subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty generally applicable to IRAs, except that an early withdrawal by an employee under a SIMPLE plan IRA, within the first two years of pa rticipation, shall be subject to a 25% early withdrawal tax.

    Roth IRAs

    Effective January 1, 1998, Section 408A of the Code permits certain individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Eligibility to make contributions is based upon income, and the applicable limits vary based on marital status and/or whether the contribution is a rollover contribution from another IRA or an annual contribution. Contributions to a Roth IRA, which are subject to certain limitations (similar to the annual limits for the traditional IRA’s), are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA. A conversion of a “traditional” IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax and other special rules apply. You should consult a tax adviser before combining any converted amounts with other Roth IRA contributions, including any other conversion amounts from other tax years.

    Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are tax-free. A qualified distribution requires that the Roth IRA has been held for at least 5 years, and the distribution is made after age 59½, on death or disability of the owner, or for a limited amount ($10,000) for a qualified first time home purchase for the owner or certain relatives. Income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during five taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to any Roth IRA of the individual.

    Qualified Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans

    Like most other contributions made under a qualified pension or profit-sharing plan, purchase payments made by an employer are not currently taxable to the participant and increases in the value of a contract are not subject to taxation until received by a participant or beneficiary.

    Distributions are generally taxable to the participant or beneficiary as ordinary income in the year of receipt. Any distribution that is considered the participant’s “investment in the contract” is treated as a return of capital and is not taxable. Under a qualified plan, the investment in the contract may be zero.

    10


    The annual limits that apply to the amounts that may be contributed to a defined contribution plan each year were increased by EGTRRA. The maximum total annual limit was increased from $35,000 to $40,000. The limit on employee salary reduction deferrals (commonly referred to as “401(k) contributions”) increase on a graduated basis; $11,000 in 2002, $12,000 in 2003, $13,000 in 2004, $14,000 in 2005 and $15,000 in 2005. The $15,000 annual limit will be indexed for inflation after 2005.

    Section 403(b) Plans

    Under Code section 403(b), payments made by public school systems and certain tax exempt organizations to purchase annuity contracts for their employees are excludable from the gross income of the employee, subject to certain limitations. However, these payments may be subject to FICA (Social Security) taxes. A qualified contract issued as a tax-sheltered annuity under section 403(b) will be amended as necessary to conform to the requirements of the Code. The annual limits under Code Section 403(b) for employee salary reduction deferrals are increased under the same rules applicable to 401(k) plans ($11,000 in 2002, $12,000 in 2003, etc.)

    Code section 403(b)(11) restricts this distribution under Code section 403(b) annuity contracts of: (1) elective contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1998; (2) earnings on those contributions; and (3) earnings in such years on amounts held as of the last year beginning before January 1, 1989. Distribution of those amounts may only occur upon death of the employee, attainment of age 59½, separation from service, disability, or financial hardship. In addition, income attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed in the case of hardship.

    Federal Income Tax Withholding

    The portion of a distribution, which is taxable income to the recipient, will be subject to federal income tax withholding as follows:

    1.   Eligible Rollover Distribution from Section 403(b) Plans or Arrangements, from Qualified Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans, or from 457
          Plans Sponsored by Governmental Entities

    There is a mandatory 20% tax withholding for plan distributions that are eligible for rollover to an IRA or to another qualified retirement plan (including a 457 plan sponsored by a governmental entity) but that are not directly rolled over. A distribution made directly to a participant or beneficiary may avoid this result if:

          (a)   a periodic settlement distribution is elected based upon a life or life expectancy calculation, or

          (b)   a term-for-years settlement distribution is elected for a period of ten years or more, payable at least annually, or

          (c)   a minimum required distribution as defined under the tax law is taken after the attainment of the age of 70½ or as otherwise required by law, or

          (d)   the distribution is a hardship distribution.

    A distribution including a rollover that is not a direct rollover will be subject to the 20% withholding, and the 10% additional tax penalty on premature withdrawals may apply to any amount not added back in the rollover. The 20% withholding may be recovered when the participant or beneficiary files a personal income tax return for the year if a rollover was completed within 60 days of receipt of the funds, except to the extent that the participant or spousal beneficiary is otherwise underwithheld or short on estimated taxes for that year.

    2.   Other Non-Periodic Distributions (full or partial redemptions)

    To the extent not subject to 20% mandatory withholding as described in 1. above, the portion of a non-periodic distribution, which constitutes taxable income, will be subject to federal income tax withholding, if the aggregate distributions exceed $200 for the year, unless the recipient elects not to have taxes withheld. If no such election is made, 10% of the taxable portion of the distribution will be withheld as federal income tax; provided that the recipient may elect any other percentage. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested. This form of withholding applies to all annuity programs.

    11


    3.   Periodic Distributions (distributions payable over a period greater than one year)

    The portion of a periodic distribution, which constitutes taxable income, will be subject to federal income tax withholding under the wage withholding tables as if the recipient were married claiming three exemptions. A recipient may elect not to have income taxes withheld or have income taxes withheld at a different rate by providing a completed election form. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested. This form of withholding applies to all annuity programs. As of January 1, 2003, a recipient receiving periodic payments (e.g., monthly or annual payments under an annuity option) which total $15,600 or less per year, will generally be exempt from periodic withholding.

    Recipients who elect not to have withholding made are liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the distribution. Recipients may also be subject to penalties under the estimated tax payment rules if withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient to cover tax liabilities.

    Recipients who do not provide a social security number or other taxpayer identification number will not be permitted to elect out of withholding. Additionally, U.S citizens residing outside of the country, or U.S. legal residents temporarily residing outside the country, are subject to different withholding rules and cannot elect out of withholding.

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by Fund BD II in the preparation of its financial statements. SECURITY VALUATION. Investments are valued daily at the net asset values per share of the underlying funds. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Income from dividends and realized gain (loss) distributions, are recorded on the ex-distribution date. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The operations of Fund BD II form a part of the total operations of The Company and are not taxed separately. The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Under existing federal income tax law, no taxes are payable on the investment income of Fund BD II. Fund BD II is not taxed as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS. In 2001, Fund BD II adopted the financial highlights disclosure recommended by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit Guide for Investment Companies ("AICPA Guide"). The AICPA Guide allows for the prospective application of this disclosure, which will ultimately display a five year period. It is comprised of the units, unit values, investment income ratio, expense ratios and total returns for each sub-account. Since each sub-account offers multiple contract charges, certain information is provided in the form of a range. The range information may reflect varying time periods if assets did not exist with all contract charge options of the sub-account for the entire year. OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. INVESTMENTS The aggregate costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments were $712,745,610 and $854,140,257, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2002. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an average cost basis. The cost of investments in eligible funds was $986,080,430 at December 31, 2002. Gross unrealized depreciation for all investments at December 31, 2002 was $269,006,407. 3. CONTRACT CHARGES Insurance charges are paid for the mortality and expense risks assumed by The Company. Each business day, The Company deducts a mortality and expense charge, which is reflected in the calculation of accumulation and annuity unit values. This charge equals, on an annual basis, 1.02% and 1.30%, of the amounts held in each funding option for the Standard Death Benefit and the Enhanced Death Benefit, respectively. Administrative fees are paid for administrative expenses. This fee is also deducted each business day and reflected in the calculation of accumulation and annuity unit values. This charge equals, on an annual basis, 0.15% of the amounts held in each funding option. For contracts in the accumulation phase with a contract value less than $40,000, an annual charge of $30 (prorated for partial periods) is deducted from participant account balances and paid to The Company to cover contract administrative charges. No sales charge is deducted from participant purchase payments when they are received. However, The Company generally assesses a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 6% if a participant's purchase payment is surrendered within six years of its payment date. Contract surrender payments include $1,255,121 and $1,566,006 of contingent deferred sales charges for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. -30-

    an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
    
    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
    in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
    perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
    statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
    test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
    statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
    significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
    financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
    reasonable basis for our opinion.
    
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
    all material respects, the financial position of The Travelers Life and Annuity
    Company as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and

    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follow. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Travelers Life and Annuity Company (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Travelers Insurance Company (TIC), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup). On March 27, 2002, Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (TPC), TIC's parent at December 31, 2001, completed its initial public offering (IPO). On August 20, 2002, Citigroup made a tax-free distribution to its stockholders of the majority of its remaining interest in TPC. Prior to the IPO, the common stock of TIC was distributed by TPC to Citigroup Insurance Holding Corporation (CIHC) so that TIC and the Company would remain indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Citigroup. The financial statements and accompanying footnotes of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and benefits and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company offers a variety of variable annuity products where the investment risk is borne by the contractholder, not the Company, and the benefits are not guaranteed. The premiums and deposits related to these products are reported in separate accounts. The Company considers it necessary to differentiate, for financial statement purposes, the results of the risks it has assumed from those it has not. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. ACCOUNTING CHANGES BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (FAS 141) and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (FAS 142). These standards change the accounting for business combinations by, among other things, prohibiting the prospective use of pooling-of-interests accounting and requiring companies to stop amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets with an indefinite useful life created by business combinations accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Instead, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life will be subject to an annual review for impairment. All goodwill was fully amortized at December 31, 2001 and the Company did not have any other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. Other intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. See Note 4. F-6
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (FAS 144). FAS 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. A long-lived asset classified as held for sale is to be measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation (amortization) is to cease. Impairment is recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be abandoned, exchanged for a similar productive asset, or distributed to owners in a spin-off are considered held and used until disposed of. Accordingly, discontinued operations are no longer to be measured on a net realizable value basis, and future operating losses are no longer recognized before they occur. The provisions of the new standard are to be applied prospectively. There has been no impact as of December 31, 2002 on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity due to this standard. The Company does not expect the impact of this standard to be significant in future reporting periods. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (FAS 146). FAS 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, other than in a business combination, be recognized when the liability is incurred. Previous generally accepted accounting principles provided for the recognition of such costs at the date of management's commitment to an exit plan. In addition, FAS 146 requires that the liability be measured at fair value and be adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. The provisions of the new standard are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. It is not expected that FAS 146 will materially affect the Company's financial statements. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS 123), prospectively for all awards granted, modified, or settled after December 31, 2002. The prospective method is one of the adoption methods provided for under FAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", issued in December 2002. FAS 123 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period). This compensation cost is determined using option pricing models, intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Similar to APB 25, the alternative method of accounting, an offsetting increase to stockholders' equity under FAS 123 is recorded equal to the amount of compensation expense charged. The adoption of this change in accounting principle will not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. F-7
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES In January 2003, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). This Interpretation changes the method of determining whether certain entities should be included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. An entity is subject to FIN 46 and is called a variable interest entity (VIE) if it has (1) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity's operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. All other entities are evaluated for consolidation under FAS No. 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries." A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party involved with the VIE that has a majority of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns or both. The provisions of FIN 46 are to be applied immediately to VIEs created after January 31, 2003, and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. For VIEs in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 applies in the first fiscal period beginning after June 15, 2003. For any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN 46 that were created before February 1, 2003, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE would be initially measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46 first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE. FIN 46 also mandates new disclosures about VIEs, some of which are required to be presented in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The Company has investments in entities that may be considered to be variable interests. The carrying value of these investments is approximately $121.9 million and primarily consists of interests in security and real estate investment funds and below investment grade asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. The Company is evaluating the impact of applying FIN 46 to existing VIEs in which it has variable interests and has not yet completed this analysis. However, at this time, it is anticipated that the effect on the Company's Balance Sheets would be insignificant. As the Company continues to evaluate the impact of applying FIN 46, additional entities may be identified that would need to be consolidated. F-8
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ACCOUNTING POLICIES INVESTMENTS Fixed maturities include bonds, notes and redeemable preferred stocks. Fixed maturities, including instruments subject to securities lending agreements (see Note 2), are classified as "available for sale" and are reported at fair value, with unrealized investment gains and losses, net of income taxes, credited or charged directly to shareholder's equity. Fair values of investments in fixed maturities are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If these are not available, discounted expected cash flows using market rates commensurate with the credit quality and maturity of the investment are used to record fair value. Changes in the assumptions could affect the fair values of investments. Impairments are realized when investment losses in value are deemed other-than-temporary. The Company conducts regular reviews to assess whether other-than-temporary impairments exist. Changing economic conditions - global, regional, or related to specific issuers or industries - could adversely affect these investments. Also included in fixed maturities are loan-backed and structured securities, which are amortized using the retrospective method. The effective yield used to determine amortization is calculated based upon actual historical and projected future cash flows, which are obtained from a widely accepted securities data provider. Equity securities, which include common and non-redeemable preferred stocks, are classified as "available-for-sale" and are carried at fair value based primarily on quoted market prices. Changes in fair values of equity securities are charged or credited directly to shareholder's equity, net of income taxes. Mortgage loans are carried at amortized cost. A mortgage loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect principal and interest amounts due. For mortgage loans that are determined to be impaired, a reserve is established for the difference between the amortized cost and fair market value of the underlying collateral. In estimating fair value, the Company uses interest rates reflecting the current real estate financing market. Short-term securities, consisting primarily of money market instruments and other debt issues purchased with a maturity of less than one year, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Other invested assets include partnership investments and real estate joint ventures which are accounted for on the equity method of accounting. Undistributed income of these investments is reported in net investment income. Also included in other invested assets are policy loans which are carried at the amount of the unpaid balances that are not in excess of the net cash surrender values of the related insurance policies. The carrying value of policy loans, which have no defined maturities, is considered to be fair value. Accrual of investment income, included in other assets, is suspended on fixed maturities or mortgage loans that are in default, or on which it is likely that future payments will not be made as scheduled. Interest income on investments in default is recognized only as payment is received. F-9
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including financial futures contracts, swaps, options and forward contracts as a means of hedging exposure to interest rate changes, equity price change and foreign currency risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. (See Note 9 for a more detailed description of the Company's derivative use.) Derivative financial instruments in a gain position are reported in the balance sheet in other assets, derivative financial instruments in a loss position are reported in the balance sheet in other liabilities and derivatives purchased to offset embedded derivatives on variable annuity contracts are reported in other invested assets. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is designated and formally documented at inception detailing the particular risk management objective and strategy for the hedge which includes the item and risk that is being hedged, the derivative that is being used, as well as how effectiveness is being assessed. A derivative has to be highly effective in accomplishing the objective of offsetting either changes in fair value or cash flows for the risk being hedged. For fair value hedges, in which derivatives hedge the fair value of assets and liabilities, changes in the fair value of derivatives are reflected in realized investment gains and losses, together with changes in the fair value of the related hedged item. The net amount is reflected in current earnings. The Company's fair value hedges are primarily of available-for-sale securities. For cash flow hedges, the accounting treatment depends on the effectiveness of the hedge. To the extent that derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives' fair value will not be included in current earnings but are reported in the accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources. These changes in fair value will be included in earnings of future periods when earnings are also affected by the variability of the hedged cash flows. To the extent these derivatives are not effective, changes in their fair values are immediately included in realized investment gains and losses. The Company's cash flow hedges primarily include hedges of foreign denominated funding agreements and floating rate available-for-sale securities. Derivatives that are either hedging instruments that are carried at fair value or do not qualify as hedges under the new rules are also carried at fair value with changes in value reflected in realized investment gains and losses. For those hedge relationships that are terminated, hedge designations removed, or forecasted transactions that are no longer expected to occur, the hedge accounting treatment described in the paragraphs above will no longer apply. For fair value hedges, any changes to the hedged item remain as part of the basis of the asset or liability and are ultimately reflected as an element of the yield. For cash flow hedges, any changes in fair value of the end-user derivative remain in the accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources and are included in earnings of future periods when earnings are also affected by the variability of the hedged cash flow. If the hedged relationship is discontinued because a forecasted transaction will not occur when scheduled, any changes in fair value of the end-user derivative are immediately reflected in realized investment gains and losses. The Company also purchases investments that have embedded derivatives, primarily convertible debt securities. These embedded derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in value reflected in realized gains and losses. The Company bifurcates an embedded derivative where the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract, the entire instrument would not otherwise F-10
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) be re-measured at fair value and a separate instrument with the same terms of the embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative under FAS 133. Derivatives embedded in convertible debt securities are classified as fixed maturity securities, consistent with the host instruments. Prior to the adoption of FAS 133 on January 1, 2001, end-user derivatives designated as qualifying hedges were accounted for consistently with the risk management strategy as follows. Hedge accounting was generally used to account for derivatives. To qualify for hedge accounting the change in value of the derivative was expected to substantially offset the changes in value of the hedged item. Hedges were monitored to ensure that there was a high correlation between the derivative instruments and the hedged investment. Derivatives that did not qualify for hedge accounting were marked to market with changes in market value reflected in the statement of income. Payments to be received or made under interest rate swaps were accrued and recognized in net investment income. Swaps hedging investments were carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, charged directly to shareholder's equity. Interest rate and currency swaps hedging liabilities were treated as off-balance sheet instruments. INVESTMENT GAINS AND LOSSES Realized investment gains and losses are included as a component of pre-tax revenues based upon specific identification of the investments sold on the trade date. Impairments are realized when investment losses in value are deemed other-than-temporary. The Company conducts regular reviews to assess whether other-than-temporary impairments exist. Changing economic conditions-global, regional, or related to specific issuers or industries-could adversely affect these investments. Also included are gains and losses arising from the remeasurement of the local currency value of foreign investments to U.S. dollars, the functional currency of the Company. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS The Company has separate accounts that primarily represent funds for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contractholders. Each of these accounts has specific investment objectives. The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company. The assets of these accounts are carried at fair value. Amounts assessed to the separate account contractholders for management services are included in revenues. Deposits, net investment income and realized investment gains and losses for these accounts are excluded from revenues, and related liability increases are excluded from benefits and expenses. DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS Costs of acquiring traditional life, universal life, deferred annuities and payout annuities are deferred. These deferred acquisition costs (DAC) include principally commissions and certain expenses related to policy issuance, underwriting and marketing, all of which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new business. The method for determining amortization of DAC varies by product F-11
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) type based upon three different accounting pronouncements: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 60, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises" (FAS 60), Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases" (FAS 91) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 97). DAC for deferred annuities, both fixed and variable, and payout annuities are amortized employing a level effective yield methodology per FAS 91 as permitted by AICPA Practice Bulletin 8. An amortization rate is developed using the outstanding DAC balance and projected account balances and is applied to actual account balances to determine the amount of DAC amortization. The projected account balances are derived using a model that contains assumptions related to investment returns and persistency. The model rate is evaluated periodically, at least annually, and the actual rate is reset in the following quarter and applied prospectively. A new amortization pattern is developed so that the DAC balances will be amortized over the remaining estimated life of the business. DAC for these products is currently being amortized over 10-15 years. DAC for universal life is amortized in relation to estimated gross profits from surrender charges, investment, mortality, and expense margins per FAS 97. Actual profits can vary from management's estimates resulting in increases or decreases in the rate of amortization. Re-estimates of gross profits result in retrospective adjustments to earnings by a cumulative charge or credit to income. DAC for this product is currently being amortized over 16-25 years. DAC relating to traditional life, including term insurance, is amortized in relation to anticipated premiums per FAS 60. Assumptions as to the anticipated premiums are made at the date of policy issuance or acquisition and are consistently applied over the life of the policy. DAC for this product is currently being amortized over 5-20 years. DAC is reviewed to determine if it is recoverable from future income, including investment income, and, if not recoverable, is charged to expense. All other acquisition expenses are charged to operations as incurred. See Note 4. VALUE OF INSURANCE IN FORCE The value of insurance in force, reported in other assets, is an asset that was recorded in 1993 at the time of acquisition of TIC and the Company by Citigroup's predecessor. It represents the actuarially determined present value of anticipated profits to be realized from annuity contracts at the date of acquisition using the same assumptions that were used for computing related liabilities, where appropriate. The value of insurance in force was the actuarially determined present value of the projected future profits discounted at an interest rate of 16% for the annuity business acquired. The annuity contracts are amortized employing a level yield method. The value of insurance in force is reviewed periodically for recoverability to determine if any adjustment is required. Adjustments, if any, are charged to income. See Note 4. F-12
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS Future policy benefits represent liabilities for future insurance policy benefits. The annuity payout reserves are calculated using the mortality and interest assumptions used in the actual pricing of the benefit. Mortality assumptions are based on Company experience and are adjusted to reflect deviations such as substandard mortality in structured settlement benefits. The interest rates range from 2.1% to 7.9% for these annuity products with a weighted average interest rate of 7.2%, including adverse deviation. Traditional life products include whole life and term insurance. Future policy benefits for traditional life products are estimated on the basis of actuarial assumptions as to mortality, persistency and interest, established at policy issue. Interest assumptions applicable to traditional life products range from 3.0% to 7.0%, with a weighted average of 6.0%. Assumptions established at policy issue as to mortality and persistency are based on the Company's experience, which, together with interest assumptions, include a margin for adverse deviation. Appropriate recognition has been given to experience rating and reinsurance. CONTRACTHOLDER FUNDS Contractholder funds represent receipts from the issuance of universal life, certain deferred annuity contracts and structured settlement contracts. For universal life contracts, contractholder fund balances are increased by receipts for mortality coverage, contract administration, surrender charges and interest accrued where one or more elements are not fixed or guaranteed. These balances are decreased by withdrawals, mortality charges and administrative expenses charged to the contractholder. Interest rates credited to contractholder funds related to universal life range from 4.1% to 6.5%, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%. Pension investment and certain annuity contracts do not contain significant insurance risk and are considered investment type contracts. Contractholder fund balances are increased by receipts and credited interest, and reduced by withdrawals and administrative expenses charged to the contractholder. Interest rates credited to these investment-type contracts range from 3.0% to 10.0% with a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%. GUARANTY FUND AND OTHER INSURANCE-RELATED ASSESSMENTS Included in other liabilities is the Company's estimate of its liability for guaranty fund and other insurance-related assessments. State guaranty fund assessments are based upon the Company's share of premiums written or received in one or more years prior to an insolvency occurring in the industry. Once an insolvency has occurred, the Company recognizes a liability for such assessments if it is probable that an assessment will be imposed and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company's liability for guaranty fund assessments was not significant. PERMITTED STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES The Company, domiciled in the State of Connecticut, prepares statutory financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Connecticut Insurance Department. Prescribed statutory accounting practices are those practices that are incorporated directly or by reference in state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules applicable to all insurance enterprises domiciled in a particular state. Permitted statutory accounting F-13
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) practices include practices not prescribed by the domiciliary state, but allowed by the domiciliary state regulatory authority. The Company does not have any permitted statutory accounting practices. PREMIUMS Premiums are recognized as revenues when due. Premiums for contracts with a limited number of premium payments, due over a significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are provided, are considered income when due. The portion of premium which is not required to provide for benefits and expenses is deferred and recognized in income in a constant relationship to insurance benefits in force. FEE INCOME Fee income is recognized on deferred annuity and universal life contracts for mortality, administrative and equity protection charges according to contract due dates. Fee income is recognized on variable annuity and universal life separate accounts either daily, monthly, quarterly or annually as per contract terms. OTHER REVENUES Other revenues include surrender penalties collected at the time of a contract surrender, and other miscellaneous charges related to annuity and universal life contracts recognized when received. INTEREST CREDITED TO CONTRACTHOLDERS Interest credited to contractholders represents amounts earned by universal life, pension investment and certain deferred annuity contracts in accordance with contract provisions. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The provision for federal income taxes is comprised of two components, current income taxes and deferred income taxes. Deferred federal income taxes arise from changes during the year in cumulative temporary differences between the tax basis and book basis of assets and liabilities. F-14

Gross gains of $85.6 million, $67.0 million F-15
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) and $22.4 million and gross losses of $29.9 million, $22.4 million and $31.2 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were realized on those sales. Additional losses of $66.9 million, $11.5 million and $2.9 million were realized due to other-than-temporary losses in value in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Impairment activity increased significantly beginning the fourth quarter of 2001 and continued through 2002. Impairments were concentrated in telecommunication and energy company investments. Fair values of investments in fixed maturities are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes or, if these are not available, discounted expected cash flows using market rates commensurate with the credit quality and maturity of the investment. The fair value of investments for which a quoted market price or dealer quote is not available amounted to $840.4 million and $628.2 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturities available for sale at December 31, 2002, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AMORTIZED FAIR ($ IN THOUSANDS) COST VALUE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MATURITY: Due in one year or less $178,198 $180,542 Due after 1 year through 5 years 1,239,752 1,275,526 Due after 5 years through 10 years 1,689,810 1,731,046 Due after 10 years 856,436 888,148 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 3,964,196 4,075,262 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage-backed securities 423,318 445,037 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Maturity $4,387,514 $4,520,229 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company makes significant investments in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs typically have high credit quality, offer good liquidity, and provide a significant advantage in yield and total return compared to U.S. Treasury securities. The Company's investment strategy is to purchase CMO tranches, which are protected against prepayment risk, including planned amortization class tranches and last cash flow tranches. Prepayment protected tranches are preferred because they provide stable cash flows in a variety of interest rate scenarios. The Company does invest in other types of CMO tranches if an assessment indicates a favorable risk/return tradeoff. The Company does not purchase residual interests in CMOs. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company held CMOs with a fair value of $265.5 million and $212.5 million, respectively. The Company's CMO holdings were 33.4% and 49.5% collateralized by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC securities at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In addition, the Company held $177.8 million and $64.8 million of GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC mortgage-backed pass-through securities at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. All of these securities are rated AAA. F-16
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. The Company generally receives cash collateral from the borrower, equal to at least the market value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest, and reinvests in a short-term investment pool. See Note 10. The loaned securities remain a recorded asset of the Company, however, the Company records a liability for the amount of the cash collateral held, representing its obligation to return the cash collateral related to these loaned securities, and reports that liability as part of other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company held cash collateral of $149.0 million and $104.3 million, respectively. EQUITY SECURITIES The cost and fair values of investments in equity securities were as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GROSS GROSS UNREALIZED UNREALIZED FAIR ($ IN THOUSANDS) COST GAINS LOSSES VALUE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 2002 Common stocks $ 2,599 $ 37 $ 699 $ 1,937 Non-redeemable preferred stocks 12,340 394 176 12,558 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Equity Securities $14,939 $ 431 $ 875 $14,495 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 2001 Common stocks $ 2,643 $ 97 $ 671 $ 2,069 Non-redeemable preferred stocks 13,608 439 378 13,669 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Equity Securities $16,251 $ 536 $ 1,049 $15,738 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proceeds from sales of equity securities were $35.6 million, $6.4 million and $30.8 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Gross gains and losses on sales and impairments were insignificant. MORTGAGE LOANS Underperforming assets include delinquent mortgage loans over 90 days past due, loans in the process of foreclosure and loans modified at interest rates below market. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company's mortgage loan portfolios consisted of the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------ ($ IN THOUSANDS) 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Current Mortgage Loans $130,303 $125,131 Underperforming Mortgage Loans 3,775 498 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Total $134,078 $125,629 ------------------------------------------------------------------ F-17
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Aggregate annual maturities on mortgage loans at December 31, 2002 are as shown below.

See Note 11. The Company's industry concentrations of investments (primarily fixed maturities), excluding those in federal and government agencies, were as follows at fair value: ---------------------------------------------------------------- ($ IN THOUSANDS) 2002 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Finance $562,179 $286,824 Electric Utilities 512,950 447,355 Media 324,008 235,790 Telecommunications 304,171 213,644 Banking 265,442 222,581 ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Company held investments in foreign banks in the amount of $147 million and $144 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which are included in the table above. The Company defines its below investment grade assets as those securities rated Ba1 by Moody's Investor Services (or its equivalent) or below by external rating agencies, or the equivalent by internal analysts when a public rating does not exist. Such assets include publicly traded below investment grade bonds and certain other privately issued bonds and notes that are classified as below investment grade. Below investment grade assets included in the preceding table include $109 million and $38 million in Electric Utilities, $35 million and $21 million in Media, and $53 million and $5 million in telecommunications at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively; and total below investment grade assets were $413.7 million and $182.3 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. F-18
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Included in mortgage loans were the following group concentrations: ($ IN THOUSANDS) ------------------------------------------------------------- At December 31, 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------- STATE California $42,169 $43,700 New York 22,636 23,129 ------------------------------------------------------------- PROPERTY TYPE Agricultural $79,075 $66,459 Office 44,094 37,243 ------------------------------------------------------------- The Company monitors creditworthiness of counterparties to all financial instruments by using controls that include credit approvals, credit limits and other monitoring procedures. Collateral for fixed maturities often includes pledges of assets, including stock and other assets, guarantees and letters of credit. The Company's underwriting standards with respect to new mortgage loans generally require loan to value ratios of 75% or less at the time of mortgage origination. RESTRUCTURED INVESTMENTS Mortgage loan and debt securities which were restructured at below market terms at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were insignificant. The new terms of restructured investments typically defer a portion of contract interest payments to varying future periods. Gross interest income on restructured assets that would have been recorded in accordance with the original terms of such assets was insignificant. Interest on these assets, included in net investment income, was insignificant.

REINSURANCE The Company uses reinsurance in order to limit losses, minimize exposure to large risks, provide additional capacity for future growth and to effect business-sharing arrangements. Reinsurance is accomplished through various plans of reinsurance, primarily yearly renewable term coinsurance and modified coinsurance. The Company remains primarily liable as the direct insurer on all risks reinsured. Since 1997 universal life business has been reinsured under an 80%/20% quota share reinsurance program and term life business has been reinsured under a 90%/10% quota share reinsurance program. Maximum retention of $2.5 million for universal life, and in excess of $25.0 million for term insurance is generally reached on policies in excess of $12.5 million. For other plans of insurance, it is the policy of the Company to obtain reinsurance for amounts above certain retention limits on individual life policies, which limits vary with age and underwriting classification. Generally, the maximum retention on an ordinary life risk is $2.5 million. F-20
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Total life insurance in-force ceded under reinsurance contracts was $29.3 billion and $23.8 billion at December 31, 2002 and 2001, including $6.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively to TIC. Total life insurance premiums ceded were $14.9 million, $11.9 million and $8.9 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Ceded premiums paid to TIC were immaterial for these same periods. The Company also reinsures the guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) on its variable annuity product. Total variable annuity account balances with GMDB is $7.1 billion, of which $4.9 billion or 69% is reinsured at December 31, 2002. GMDB is payable upon the death of a contractholder. When the benefit payable is greater than the account value of the variable annuity, the difference is called the net amount at risk (NAR). NAR totals $2.2 billion at December 31, 2002, of which $1.9 billion or 86% is reinsured. During 2002, substantially all new contracts written were not reinsured. 4. DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS AND VALUE OF INSURANCE IN FORCE The Company has two intangible, amortizable assets, DAC and the value of insurance in force. A summary of DAC follows: Traditional Deferred ($ IN MILLIONS) Life Annuity UL Total ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning balance December 31, 2000 $36.8 $384.4 $158.3 $ 579.5 Commissions and expenses 18.4 202.9 103.0 324.3 deferred Amortization expense (7.5) (75.8) (6.1) (89.4) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance December 31, 2001 47.7 511.5 255.2 814.4 Commissions and expenses 16.5 169.4 130.8 316.7 deferred Amortization expense (8.9) (48.8) (9.3) (67.0) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance December 31, 2002 $55.3 $632.1 $376.7 $1,064.1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The value of insurance in force totaled $12.5 million and $13.4 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and was reported in other assets. Amortization expense of value of insurance in force was insignificant for 2002 and 2001. 5. DEPOSIT FUNDS AND RESERVES At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had $5.0 billion and $3.7 billion of life and annuity deposit funds and reserves, respectively. Of that total, $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, were not subject to discretionary withdrawal based on contract terms. The remaining amounts were life and annuity products that were subject to discretionary withdrawal by the contractholders. Included in the amounts that are subject to discretionary withdrawal were $2.4 billion and $1.6 billion of liabilities that are surrenderable with market value adjustments. Also included are an additional $.9 billion and $.6 billion of life insurance and individual annuity liabilities which are subject to discretionary withdrawals with an average surrender charge of 4.2% and 4.9%, respectively. In the payout stage these funds are credited at significantly reduced credited rates. The remaining $.1 billion in 2002 is surrenderable without charge. The life insurance risks would have to be underwritten again if transferred to another carrier, which is considered a significant deterrent for F-21
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) long-term policyholders. Insurance liabilities that are surrendered or withdrawn from the Company are reduced by outstanding policy loans and related accrued interest prior to payout. 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The net deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were comprised of the tax effects of temporary differences related to the following assets and liabilities: ($ IN THOUSANDS) 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deferred Tax Assets: Benefit, reinsurance and other reserves $151,454 $180,468 Other 2,286 1,904 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total 153,740 182,372 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deferred Tax Liabilities: Investments, net (48,363) (19,938) Deferred acquisition costs and value of insurance in force (303,652) (231,454) Other (1,075) (1,071) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total (353,090) (252,463) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Deferred Tax Liability $(199,350) $(70,091) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TIC and its subsidiaries, including the Company, file a consolidated federal income tax return with Citigroup Inc. Federal income taxes are allocated to each member of the consolidated group, according to the Tax Sharing Agreement, on a separate return basis adjusted for credits and other amounts required by the Agreement. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had no ordinary or capital loss carryforwards. The policyholders' surplus account, which arose under prior tax law, is generally that portion of the gain from operations that has not been subjected to tax, plus certain deductions. The balance of this account is approximately $2.1 million. Income taxes are not provided for on this amount because under current U.S. tax rules such taxes will become payable only to the extent such amounts are distributed as a dividend or exceed limits prescribed by federal law. Distributions are not contemplated from this account. At current rates the maximum amount of such tax would be approximately $700 thousand. 7. SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY AND DIVIDEND AVAILABILITY The Company's statutory net loss was $133.9 million, $73.4 million and $66.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $397 million and $407 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. F-22
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Effective January 1, 2001, the Company began preparing its statutory basis financial statements in accordance with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' ACCOUNTING PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL - VERSION EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2001, subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by its domicilary insurance commissioner (see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Permitted Statutory Accounting Practices). The impact of this change on statutory capital and surplus was not significant. The Company is currently subject to various regulatory restrictions that limit the maximum amount of dividends available to be paid to its parent without prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities. The Company does not have surplus available to pay dividends to TIC in 2003 without prior approval of the State of Connecticut Insurance Department.

    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 8. BENEFIT PLANS PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company participates in a qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, a non-qualified pension plan and other postretirement benefits to retired employees through plans sponsored by Citigroup. The Company's share of net expense for these plans was not significant for 2002, 2001 and 2000. 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN Substantially all of the Company's employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) savings plan sponsored by Citigroup. See Note 11. The Company's expenses in connection with the 401(k) savings plan were not significant in 2002, 2001 and 2000. 9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including financial futures, interest rate swaps, options and forward contracts, as a means of hedging exposure to foreign currency, equity price changes and/or interest rate risk on anticipated transactions or existing assets and liabilities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses exchange traded financial futures contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates that arise from the sale of certain insurance and investment products, or the need to reinvest proceeds from the sale or maturity of investments. To hedge against adverse changes in interest rates, the Company enters long or short positions in financial futures contracts, which offset asset price changes resulting from changes in market interest rates until an investment is purchased, or a product is sold. Futures contracts are commitments to buy or sell at a future date a financial instrument, at a contracted price, and may be settled in cash or through delivery. The Company uses equity option contracts to manage its exposure to changes in equity market prices that arise from the sale of certain insurance products. To hedge against adverse changes in the equity market prices, the Company enters long positions in equity option contracts with major financial institutions. These contracts allow the Company, for a fee, the right to receive a payment if the Standard and Poor's 500 Index falls below agreed upon strike prices. The Company enters into interest rate swaps in connection with other financial instruments to provide greater risk diversification and better match assets and liabilities. Under interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. A single net payment is usually made by one counterparty at each due date. F-24
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Forward contracts are used on an ongoing basis to hedge the Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rates that result from the net investment in the Company's direct foreign currency investments. To hedge against adverse changes in exchange rates, the Company enters contracts to exchange foreign currency for U.S. Dollars with major financial institutions. These contracts cannot be settled prior to maturity. At the maturity date the Company must purchase the foreign currency necessary to settle the contracts. The Company monitors creditworthiness of counterparties to these financial instruments by using criteria of acceptable risk that are consistent with on-balance-sheet financial instruments. The controls include credit approvals, limits and other monitoring procedures. The following table summarizes certain information related to the Company's hedging activities for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001: Year Ended Year Ended ($ IN MILLIONS) December 31, 2002 December 31, 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hedge ineffectiveness recognized related to fair value hedges $(5.2) $1.9 Hedge ineffectiveness recognized related to cash flow hedges 1.1 (.4) During the year ended December 31, 2002 the Company recorded a gain of $.3 million from discontinued forecasted transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2001 there were no discontinued forecasted transactions. Cash flow transaction amounts expected to be reclassified from accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources into pre-tax earnings within twelve months from December 31, 2002 is not significant. In 2000, these derivative financial instruments were treated as off-balance sheet instruments. Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in a particular class of financial instrument. However, the maximum loss of cash flow associated with these instruments can be less than these amounts. For swaps, options and forward contracts, credit risk is limited to the amount that it would cost the Company to replace the contacts. Financial futures contracts and purchased listed option contracts have very little credit risk since organized exchanges are the counterparties. The Company had interest rate and equity options, net of intercompany balances, with fair values of $161.7 million and $67.4 million, at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK In the normal course of business, the Company issues fixed and variable rate loan commitments and has unfunded commitments to partnerships and joint ventures. All of these commitments are to unaffiliated entities. The notional values of loan commitments at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $23.9 million and $0 respectively. The notional values of unfunded commitments were $35.5 million and $43.8 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. F-25
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FAIR VALUE OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. Fair values of financial instruments that are considered insurance contracts are not required to be disclosed and are not included in the amounts discussed. At December 31, 2002, investments in fixed maturities had a carrying value and a fair value of $4.5 billion compared with a carrying value and a fair value of $3.4 billion at December 31, 2001. See Notes 1 and 2. At December 31, 2002, mortgage loans had a carrying value of $134.1 million and a fair value of $148.0 million and at December 31, 2001 had a carrying value of $125.6 million and a fair value of $131.6 million. In estimating fair value, the Company used interest rates reflecting the current real estate financing market. The carrying values of short-term securities were $475.4 million and $206.8 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively, which approximated their fair values. Policy loans which are included in other invested assets had carrying values of $27.4 million and $16.3 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively, which also approximated their fair values. The carrying values of $151.5 million and $133.7 million of financial instruments classified as other assets approximated their fair values at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The carrying values of $319.8 million and $208.1 million of financial instruments classified as other liabilities also approximated their fair values at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Fair value is determined using various methods, including discounted cash flows, as appropriate for the various financial instruments. At December 31, 2002, contractholder funds with defined maturities had a carrying value of $2.7 billion and a fair value of $2.9 billion, compared with a carrying value of $1.9 billion and a fair value of $1.9 billion at December 31, 2001. The fair value of these contracts is determined by discounting expected cash flows at an interest rate commensurate with the Company's credit risk and the expected timing of cash flows. Contractholder funds without defined maturities had a carrying value of $1.1 billion and a fair value of $926 million at December 31, 2002, compared with a carrying value of $806 million and a fair value of $675 million at December 31, 2001. These contracts generally are valued at surrender value. 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a defendant or co-defendant in various litigation matters incidental to and typical of the businesses in which it is engaged. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS TIC handles banking functions, including payment of salaries and expenses for the Company and some of its non-insurance affiliates. In addition, Citigroup and certain of its subsidiaries provide investment management and accounting services, data processing services, benefit management and administration, property management and investment technology services to the Company as of December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2001 the majority of these services were provided by either Citigroup and its subsidiaries or TPC. Charges for these services are shared by the Company and TIC on cost allocation methods, based generally on estimated usage by department and were insignificant in 2002, 2001 and 2000. TIC maintains a short-term investment pool in which the Company participates. The position of each company participating in the pool is calculated and adjusted daily. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the pool totaled approximately $4.2 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively. The Company's share of the pool amounted to $356.0 million and $90.6 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and is included in short-term securities in the balance sheet. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had investments in Tribeca Citigroup Investments Ltd., an affiliate of the Company, in the amounts of $26.7 million and $34.0 million, respectively. Income of $1.9 million, $4.5 million and $7.2 million was earned on these investments in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company also had investments in an affiliated joint venture, Tishman Speyer, in the amount of $24.1 million and $40.1 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Income of $19.8 million, $8.5 million and $6.8 million was earned on these investments in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In the ordinary course of business, the Company purchases and sells securities through affiliated broker-dealers. These transactions are conducted on an arm's length basis. At December 31, 2002 and 2001 the Company had outstanding loaned securities to SSB in the amount of $10.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The Company has other affiliated investments. The individual investment with any one affiliate was insignificant at December 31, 2002 and 2001. The Company's Travelers Target Maturity (TTM) Modified Guaranteed Annuity Contracts are subject to a limited guarantee agreement by TIC in a principal amount of up to $450 million. TIC's obligation is to pay in full to any owner or beneficiary of the TTM Modified Guaranteed Annuity Contracts principal and interest as and when due under the annuity contract to the extent that the Company fails to make such payment. In addition, TIC guarantees that the Company will maintain a minimum statutory capital and surplus level. The Company sold structured settlement annuities to its former property casualty insurance affiliates. Policy reserves and contractholder fund liabilities associated with these structured settlements were $607 million at December 31, 2001. The Company distributes fixed and variable annuity products through its affiliate, Salomon Smith Barney (SSB). Premiums and deposits related to these products were $.8 billion, $1.2 billion and $1.6 billion in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company also markets term and universal life products through SSB. Premiums related to such products were $87.2 million, $74.5 million and $59.3 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. F-27
    THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The Company also distributes deferred annuity products through its affiliates Primerica Financial Services (PFS), CitiStreet Retirement Services and Citibank, N.A. (Citibank). Deposits received from PFS were $662 million, $738 million and $844 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Deposits from Citibank and CitiStreet Retirement Services were $117 million and $184 million respectively for 2002, $166 million and $136 million, respectively, for 2001, and $131 million and $220 million, respectively, for 2000. The Company participates in a stock option plan sponsored by Citigroup that provides for the granting of stock options in Citigroup common stock to officers and other employees. To further encourage employee stock ownership, Citigroup introduced the WealthBuilder stock option program during 1997 and the Citigroup Ownership Program in 2001. Under these programs, all employees meeting established requirements have been granted Citigroup stock options. During 2000 and 2001, Citigroup introduced the Citigroup 2000 Stock Purchase Plan and Citigroup 2001 Stock Purchase Program for new employees, which allowed eligible employees of Citigroup, including the Company's employees, to enter into fixed subscription agreements to purchase shares at the market value on the date of the agreements. Enrolled employees are permitted to make one purchase prior to the expiration date. The Company's charge to income was insignificant in 2002, 2001 and 2000. Prior to the IPO of TPC, most leasing functions for TIC and its subsidiaries, including the Company, were handled by its property casualty insurance subsidiaries. Rent expense related to these leases was shared by the companies on a cost allocation method based generally on estimated usage by department. In 2002, TIC sold its home office buildings in Hartford, Connecticut and now leases space from a third party. The Company's rent expense was insignificant in 2002, 2001 and 2000. 12.

The corporation’s obligation to provide such indemnification generally does not apply unless (1) the individual is wholly successful on the merits in the defense of any such proceeding; or (2) a



    determination is made (by persons specified in the statute) that the individual acted in good faith and in the best interests of the corporation and in all other cases, his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in a criminal case he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; or (3) the court, upon application by the individual, determines in view of all of the circumstances that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified, and then for such amount as the court shall determine. With respect to proceedings brought by or in the right of the corporation, the statute provides that the corporation shall indemnify its officers, directors and certain other defined individuals, against reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with such proceedings, subject to certain limitations.

    Citigroup Inc. also provides liability insurance for its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its subsidiaries, including the Registrant. This insurance provides for coverage against loss from claims made against directors and officers in their capacity as such, including, subject to certain exceptions, liabilities under the federal securities laws.

    Rule 484 Undertaking

    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 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.
