THE DEFERRED VARIABLE ANNUITY

THE ISLE OF MAN The Isle of Man is situated in the Irish Sea between the United Kingdom and Ireland. The total land area is 226 square miles, supporting a population of around 72,000. Over a thousand years ago the Vikings from Norway established the Isle of Man’s supreme legislative assembly, the Tynwald, which survives to this day as the oldest continuous democratic government in the world. Constitutionally therefore, the Isle of Man is not and never has been part of the United Kingdom. The Island remains an independent, self-governing dependency of the Crown with a large degree of autonomy. Since the early 1960’s, Tynwald has nurtured the Island’s financial sector through a legislative policy designed to provide a favourable tax regime coupled with strong regulatory control. Together with a carefully considered economic strategy aimed at long term stability and security and an excellent communications network, these policies have made the Isle of Man one of Europe’s fastest growing and most respected offshore financial centres. The Government maintains a balanced budget and has the power to legislate on all domestic issues, though relying on the UK for foreign policy and defence. The Island is now home to more than 50 licensed banks and over 150 life, general and captive insurance companies. The Isle of Man enacts its own legislation, which is generally based on English Law; hence the rules of English Common Law and the principles of equity are followed by the local courts. Foreign judgements are not binding in the Isle of Man courts.

ISLE OF MAN ASSURANCE GROUP Isle of Man Assurance Limited is the Island’s oldest independent insurance company with over twenty-five years of experience in the offshore marketplace. The Company has a wealth of knowledge in the field of U.S. qualifying life and annuity products, having been involved in the market since the early 1980’s. Part of the Isle of Man Assurance Group of Companies, IOMA is licensed and regulated by the Isle of Man Insurance & Pensions Authority. Isle of Man Financial Trust Limited, an associate Company of the IOMA Group, offers a wide range of offshore corporation and Trust formation and administration services. Isle of Man Insurance Management specialise in risk financing and captive insurance company management.

THE DEFERRED VARIABLE ANNUITY POLICY (DVA) Deferred Variable Annuity (‘DVA’) policies have for many years provided excellent opportunities for tax deferral under U.S. Income Tax Regulations. The interest or capital gains within a DVA are not subject to U.S. tax until actually distributed from the policy. All assets held in the policy therefore are left to accumulate tax-free. IOMA as a tax exempt insurance company incorporated and registered in the Isle of Man, does not suffer taxation on the investment returns obtained through its insurance funds and is also enabled to make distributions to Policyholders free of any Isle of Man taxes. IOMA’s DVA is a single premium contract with a Minimum Premium of $100,000. Additional Premiums (subject to a minimum of $20,000) may be paid subsequent to Policy issue. (There is no limitation on the maximum premium). The policy is designated to meet the requirements of Sections 72 and 817 of the United States Internal Revenue Code 1986, as amended. The Policy provides for an annual annuity benefit to be payable during the lifetime of the Annuitant, as from the date selected by the Policyholder, not sooner than the Annuitant's 60th birthday subject to the exceptions outlined below. Annuity payments will be calculated in accordance with the appropriate mortality tables used by the Company at the annuity start date, or as may be otherwise agreed. As the amount of the annuity payment each year will be influenced by the value of the retained assets under the policy the contract is classified as a DVA under the terms of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. In the event of the death of the Annuitant prior to full distribution of the accumulated assets under the policy by way of annuity payments, any residual value will be paid to the Beneficiary, or the Policyholder, if no Beneficiary has been nominated or survives. A death benefit is payable upon the death of the Policyholder before the annuity start date equal to the accumulated asset value of the policy. Also, the policy can be surrendered without penalty (other than a possible tax penalty described below) at any time before the annuity start date. The tax treatment of the death benefit and surrender proceeds received in the United States is different to that applicable to annuity benefit payments. Under U.S. Tax Regulations other important considerations exist, namely: The Annuity (with some exceptions) must be held by an individual or a trust or an agent for an individual or natural person; Any distribution from an annuity contract is subject to 10% tax penalty unless the distribution is made: (a) on or after the date the Annuitant reaches the age of 59½; (b) because of the Annuitant’s disability; (c) on or after the death of the Annuitant; (d) under an immediate annuity contract; (e) under certain contracts specified under the IRS Regulations.

SECURITY OF ASSETS Under Isle of Man law, all premiums paid into life or annuity policies must be held in a “Long Term Business Fund”, segregated from all other business transacted by the Company. The assets under this fund are solely for the benefit of the Company’s life and annuity policyholders and cannot be used to meet claims from other policyholders or general creditors, in the event of the Company’s insolvency. Life and annuity policies issued in the Isle of Man after April 5, 1988, are protected by the Life Assurance (Compensation of Policyholders) Regulations 1991, which provide a statutory guarantee equal to 90% of the amount of any liability the Life Company may have under a life assurance or annuity contract.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. A.

What are the advantages of the DVA Policy over a policy issued by a U.S. domiciled insurance company? IOMA is not subject to any form of taxation on Policyholder funds. Also, no domestic premium taxes are payable in the Isle of Man. IOMA offers a high level of privacy. There are no reporting requirements to any authorities, and IOMA is not required to file 1099 forms. Distributions from the Policy are not taxable by the Isle of Man Government.

Q. A.

How secure are my funds with Isle of Man Assurance Limited? Under Isle of Man law, all premiums paid to a life insurance company under an annuity policy must be held in a “Long Term Business Fund”, segregated from all other business transacted by the Company. The assets under this Fund are solely for the benefit of the Company’s Life Policyholders and cannot be used to meet claims from Policyholders or general creditors. In the event of the Company’s insolvency, the Life Assurance (Compensation of Policyholders) Regulations 1991 provide a statutory guarantee equal to 90% of the amount of any liability of the insurance company under any life or annuity policy.

Q. A.

Do I have to be insurable? No. A DVA is not life insurance, no additional death benefit is payable.

Q. A.

Is my Policy protected against creditors? Any claim by creditors of the Policyholder can only be made through the courts in the Isle of Man

Q. A.

Federal Excise Tax of 1% is imposed by the United States Government on premiums paid into policies issued by foreign insurers and Form 720 should be filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

IMPORTANT NOTES Before deciding to make an application for the issuance of an annuity policy, it is important that you are made aware of recent developments in the United States federal income tax laws and regulations with respect to annuity contracts issued to persons subject to U.S. federal income tax by insurance companies that do not do business in the United States. Investment earnings under deferred annuity contracts owned by or on behalf of individuals are not taxed until they are distributed, subject to the considerations discussed below. The primary requirement for a contract to qualify under U.S. tax rules as an “annuity contract” and thus offer tax deferral on investment earnings, is that the contract must meet all of the conditions of Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations and rulings under Section 72. Following advice received from its U.S. Attorneys, IOMA is satisfied that the Deferred Variable Annuity (“DVA”) does comply with these rules. There are further requirements applicable to the diversification of investments underlying “variable contracts” (that term is defined in Section 817(d) of the Code to include variable annuities and variable life insurance contracts) that are detailed under Section 817 (h) of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “diversification rules”). A variable annuity contract that meets the requirements of Section 72 will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes unless it also complies with the diversification rules. Under the diversification rules, the investments of every “segregated asset account” underlying any variable annuity must be “adequately diversified”. The U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) have issued regulations that prescribe standards for determining whether the investments of a segregated asset account are “adequately diversified” IOMA believes that the DVA is subject to the diversification rules. If any Unitized Investment Fund upon which a DVA is based fails to comply with these diversification standards, a U.S. taxpayer who is the Owner of such DVA would be subject to tax currently on annual increases in value of the DVA. [Although IOMA does not control the investments of the Funds upon which the DVA is based.] it will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause [the managers of] the Funds to comply with the diversification rules. [IOMA cannot give any undertakings or guarantees with respect to the possible application of the diversification rules in the event that you chose to take delivery of an DVA] In addition to the diversification rules, the IRS has published revenue rulings (the “Investor Control Rulings”) setting forth circumstances in which the owner of a variable contract, rather than the insurance company that issued the contract, will be treated as the owner, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of the assets held in the segregated asset account that supports the variable contract. IOMA has implemented procedures that are intended to cause the Owner of an DVA to comply with the Investor Control Rulings. Such compliance is the responsibility of the Owner, however, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert in certain situations that the Owner of an DVA is the owner of assets of a Fund for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Despite compliance with the rules of Section 72, as well as the diversification rules and Investor Control Rulings, annuity contracts issued by insurance companies that are not subject to U.S. corporate income tax on their insurance income are potentially subject to treatment as “debt instruments” under the “original issue discount” (“OID”) rules of Section rules of Section 1271 et seq. of the Code. If the OID rules apply, undistributed investment earnings with respect to the annuity would be includible in the gross income of a U.S. taxpayer annually on an accrual basis. The OID rules are not, however, applicable to annuities that meet one of two exceptions to the definition of the term debt instrument set out in Section 1275 of the Code. One such exception applies to annuities that are based in whole or in substantial part on the life or life expectancy of one or more individuals. The other exception applies to annuities issued “by an insurance company subject to tax under Subchapter L (or by an entity described in Section 501 (c) and exempt from tax under Section 501 (a) which would be subject to tax under subchapter L were it not so exempt”. Subchapter L contains the provisions of the Code that apply to insurance companies, and Section 501 relates to certain tax-exempt entities. With respect to the first exception, Treasury Regulation§1.1275-1 (j) sets out specific provisions an annuity contract must contain in order to come under this exception. The DVA would generally not meet the requirements of these regulations. With respect to the second exception, recent legislation, as well as proposed regulations, may if the regulations are finally adopted, cause certain annuity contracts issued by insurance companies that are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on their business profits (and are not tax-exempt entities) to be treated as debt instruments. In December of 2001 Congress adopted a “technical correction” of section 1275(a)(1)(B)(ii) that added the reference to tax exempt entities (effective retroactively to 1984, the original date of enactment of section 1275). The IRS subsequently issued proposed regulations that, if adopted, would clarify that annuities issued by foreign insurance companies that are not subject to U.S. corporate income tax on their insurance income are subject to the OID rules (effective for annuities issued on or after January12, 2001). IOMA is not subject to United States tax on its corporate income and thus the exception for annuities issued by insurance companies “subject to tax under subchapter L” is not applicable to the DVA. Because the DVA is variable in nature, however, the impact of the recent legislation and proposed regulations is not clear. Existing regulations (Treasury Regulations § 1.1275-1(d) provides that the term debt instrument, for purposes of the OID rules, includes only instruments that are debt instruments “under general principles of Federal income tax law”. Whether and in what circumstances a variable annuity such as the DVA would be treated as a debt instrument under general principles of federal tax law is not addressed by the regulations. IOMA CANNOT GIVE ANY UNDERTAKINGS OR GUARANTEES WITH RESPECT TO THE POSSIBLE APPLICATION OF THE OID RULES, AS WELL AS THE DIVERSIFICATION RULES OR INVESTOR CONTROL RULINGS. THE PURCHASER ASSUMES ALL RISK THAT THE TREATMENT UNDER THE CODE OF THE DVA WILL BE LESS FAVORABLE THAN ANTICIPATED. IOMA STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT ANY DECISION YOU MAKE SHALL BE FULLY INFORMED.
