PART I
ITEM 1. Business.
(a) Nationwide Life Insurance Company (the Company) was incorporated in
1929 and is an Ohio stock legal reserve life insurance company. The
Company offers a variety of forms of ordinary life, universal life,
variable universal life, term and endowment, group life, individual
and group annuities, and individual and group accident and health
coverage on a participating and a non-participating basis. On
December 30, 1993, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Nationwide Corporation when Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and
Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company sold their shares of the
Company to Nationwide Corporation for newly issued shares of
Nationwide Corporation. Nationwide Corporation continues to be owned
by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Nationwide Mutual Fire
Insurance Company.
On April 7, 1988, the Company obtained ownership of the stock of
Financial Horizons Life Insurance Company from Nationwide Mutual
Insurance Company as part of a capital contribution. Financial
Horizons Life Insurance Company currently offers universal life,
variable universal life and annuity coverage on a non-participating
basis. On December 31, 1993, Nationwide Corporation contributed all
of the outstanding capital shares of West Coast Life Insurance
Company, National Casualty Company and Nationwide Financial
Services, Inc. to the Company. West Coast Life Insurance Company
currently offers individual life, group life, individual annuity and
group accident and health coverage on a participating and a
non-participating basis. National Casualty Company underwrites
individual and group accident and health insurance as well as
various property and casualty coverages. Nationwide Financial
Services, Inc., a non-insurance industry subsidiary, is a registered
broker-dealer providing investment management and administration
services. On December 31, 1994, the Company purchased all of the
outstanding shares of Employers Life Insurance Company of Wausau.
Employers Life Insurance Company of Wausau primarily offers group
annuity contracts and, through its wholly owned subsidiary Wausau
Preferred Health Insurance Company, group accident and health
insurance and group life insurance coverages.
During 1994, the Company received a $200,000,000 cash capital
contribution from Nationwide Corporation.
On March 1, 1995, Nationwide Corporation contributed all of the
outstanding shares of Farmland Life Insurance Company to Nationwide
Life Insurance Company.
(b) The Company and its subsidiaries operate in the life and accident
and health lines of business in the life insurance and property and
casualty insurance industries. Life insurance operations include

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
Consolidated net income for the Company was $184 million in 1994
compared to $212 million in 1993 and $97 million in 1992. During
1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards Statement No. 106, Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions, and Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. Excluding the effects of implementing
those new accounting standards, the Company earned $206 million in
1993.
Revenues: Total revenues for 1994 were $2,046 million compared to
$2,035 million in 1993 and $1,933 million in 1992. Excluding
realized gains and losses on investments, revenues were $2,063
million in 1994 compared to $1,921 million in 1993 and $1,953 in
1992. Universal life and investment product (primarily group and
individual annuities) policy charges increased 27% to $239 million
in 1994 from $188 million in 1993 ($148 million in 1992). This
growth in revenues is attributable to the increase in universal life
and investment product considerations received to $5.5 billion in
1994 from $4.0 billion in 1993 ($3.4 billion in 1992). Management
anticipates continued growth in universal life and investment
product revenues, although the growth will likely be at a slower
pace than the past three years.
A significant portion of the group annuity business is deferred
compensation products for public employees and educators sold
through two affiliated marketing companies, which are also
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Nationwide Corporation. Total new
considerations received through those distribution channels were
$158 million in 1994, $117 million in 1993 and $96 million in 1992.
Another significant, but declining, portion of this deposit-type
business is a result of a joint venture with another affiliated
marketing company to sell individual annuity products and life
insurance to the customers of banks and other financial
institutions. Total considerations received through this
distribution channel were $336 million in 1994, $411 million in 1993
and $608 million in 1992.
Accident and health insurance premiums increased to $325 million in
1994 from $313 million in 1993, but down from $430 million in 1992.
The increase in premiums from 1993 to 1994 is attributable to
moderate growth in the group accident and health insurance line. The
decrease in premiums in 1993 from 1992 is attributable to changing
the health insurance plan for Nationwide Insurance Enterprise
employees from an indemnity plan to an administrative services only
basis during 1993 and effective January 1, 1993 National Casualty
Company ceded 100% of all written premiums to Nationwide Mutual
Insurance Company, the majority shareholder of Nationwide
Corporation. National Casualty Company reported accident and health
insurance premiums in 1992 of $76 million. In 1992, West Coast Life
Insurance Company exited the credit life and accident and health
insurance business and ceded substantially all of its credit life
and accident and health insurance policies to an unaffiliated
insurer. West Coast Life Insurance Company earned $27 million of
ceding commissions on this transaction. See note 12 to the
consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures
regarding this transaction.
Traditional life insurance premiums continued a declining trend,
which began in 1991 as a result of the reduction in sales of single
premium policies.

Net investment income increased 7.1% to $1,290 million in 1994 from
$1,204 million in 1993. Net investment income for 1993 was up 7.5%
from $1,120 million in 1992. The increases in both 1994 and 1993 are
attributable to the significant growth in invested assets, primarily
in annuity and pension products, offset by lower yields on
investments which is consistent with the overall decline in market
interest rates into the first quarter of 1994.
Realized losses on investments were $16 million in 1994 compared to
realized gains on investments of $114 million in 1993 and realized
losses of $19 million in 1992. A significant portion of the realized
gains reported in 1993 are attributable to the Company selling
substantially all of its non-affiliated equity securities to
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company to improve its risk-based
capital ratio. The Company recognized a gain of $123 million of this
sale of equity securities to Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company.
Net realized losses on mortgage loans on real estate, real estate
and limited partnerships were $11 million, $36 million and $42
million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Benefits and expenses: Total benefits and expenses increased $51
million (3%) to $1,773 million in 1994. In 1993, total benefits and
expenses decreased $81 million (4.5%) to $1,722 million from $1,803
million in 1992. In 1994, benefits and claims incurred increased
$42.9 million due to increases for accident and health insurance
policies and group annuity contracts, which were offset by an $18.4
million decrease in benefits for single premium policies which is
consistent with the decrease in premiums discussed above. In 1993,
benefits and claims incurred decreased $82.8 million due to National
Casualty Company ceding all of its premiums to Nationwide Mutual
Insurance Company effective January 1, 1993, the conversion of the
health insurance plan for Nationwide Insurance Enterprise employees
from an indemnity plan to an administrative services only basis,
West Coast Life Insurance Company exiting the credit life and
accident and health lines and a decrease in benefits for single
premium policies.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs decreased $7.4
million to $94.7 million in 1994 from $102.1 million in 1993 ($99.2
million in 1992). The decrease is primarily attributed to deferred
policy acquisition cost write-offs in 1993 and 1992. There were no
significant deferred policy acquisition cost write-offs in 1994. In
1993, $18.6 million of individual accident and health insurance
deferred policy acquisition costs were written-off due to National
Casualty Company ceding all inforce business to Nationwide Mutual
Insurance Company. Also in 1993, the group annuity line wrote-off
$11 million of deferred policy acquisition costs when a significant
contract was canceled. In 1992, West Coast Life Insurance Company
ceded essentially all of its credit life and credit accident and
health insurance business and wrote-off $34 million of deferred
policy acquisition costs. This transaction is further described in
note 12 to the consolidated financial statements. Excluding the
effects of deferred policy acquisition cost write-offs, amortization
of deferred policy acquisition costs increased in 1994 from 1993 due
to increased amortization for individual and group annuity products
due to the growth described above.
Other operating costs and expenses increased $23 million (7%) to
$352 million in 1994 from $329 million in 1993 ($322 million in
1992). In 1994, the individual annuity lines accounted for nearly
$17 million of the increase due to greater sales and administrative
expenses in support of the increased volume. In addition, other
operating costs for accident and health insurance lines increased $8
million. The 2.3% increase in other operating costs and expenses in
1993 over 1992 is mostly due to continued growth in the individual
and group annuity lines of business, partially offset by a reduction
in National Casualty Company's expenses as a result of the 100%
quota share reinsurance agreement with Nationwide Mutual Insurance
Company.

See note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for analysis of
Federal income tax expense.
Effects of accounting standards to be adopted: The Financial
Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan, which was amended by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
- Income Recognition and Disclosures. These statements are not
expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements and are discussed in more detail in note 2(b) of the
consolidated financial statements.
Investment Portfolio: The Company does not invest in lower quality,
higher-risk fixed maturity securities. Non-investment grade
securities, all of which are the result of down grading since the
time of purchase by the Company, were 2.3% of total fixed maturity
securities as of December 31, 1994.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 - Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115). See the
Capital Resources section below for a discussion of SFAS 115.
Private placement fixed maturity securities provide certain
advantages over public issues and are purchased when possible. As of
December 31, 1994, private placement fixed maturity securities were
32% of total fixed maturity securities. While they are less liquid
than public issues, private issues generally offer higher yields,
better call provisions, greater takeover protection, enhanced
protective covenants and the potential of specific collateral.
Collateralized mortgage obligations comprised 29.5% of fixed
maturity securities as of December 31, 1994. Substantially all
collateralized mortgage obligation holdings are in planned
amortization class tranches. The Company does not invest in
higher-risk collateralized mortgage obligations such as
interest-only, principal-only, inverse floater or support tranches.
The Company's mortgage loan on real estate portfolio consists of
first mortgages on existing income-producing properties. Higher-risk
loans, such as second mortgages, construction loans, participating
or convertible mortgages or land development loans are not made by
the Company. Realized losses on mortgage loans on real estate were
$20.5 million, $28.2 million and $36.3 million for 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively. As of December 31, 1994, valuation allowances on
mortgage loans on real estate were $47.9 million, or 1.1% of the
portfolio, compared to $42.4 million, or 1.1% of the portfolio, as
of December 31, 1993. See note 9 to the consolidated financial
statements for disclosures of concentrations of risk by geographic
area and borrower.
The Company does not invest in swaps, forwards, futures, option
contracts or other financial instruments with similar
characteristics, and there are no plans to invest in such
instruments.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Capital Resources: Total consolidated shareholder's equity increased
to $1,908 million as of December 31, 1994 from $1,651 million as of
December 31, 1993 ($1,430 million as of December 31, 1992). SFAS 115
resulted in certain debt securities being recorded at fair value
with unrealized gains or losses, net of certain adjustments to
deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred Federal income taxes,
reported as a component of consolidated shareholder's equity. See
notes 2(b) and 3 to the consolidated financial statements for more
disclosures regarding SFAS 115. Excluding unrealized investment
gains and losses, consolidated shareholder's equity increased $384
million (23%) to $2,028 million as of December 31, 1994, from $1,644
million as of December 31, 1993 ($1,340 million as of December 31,
1992). The increases in consolidated shareholder's equity are
attributable to the Company's consolidated net income and capital
contributions from Nationwide Corporation. During 1994 and 1993, the
Company received capital contributions of $200 million and $111
million, respectively, from Nationwide Corporation to support the
Company's growth in operations. No significant capital contributions
from, or dividend payments to, Nationwide Corporation are
anticipated over the next year.
Each insurance company's state of domicile imposes minimum
risk-based capital requirements that were developed by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Risk-based capital
evaluates the adequacy of an insurer's statutory capital and surplus
in relation to the risks inherent in the insurer's business related
to asset quality, asset and liability matching, mortality and
morbidity, and other business factors. Regulatory compliance is
determined based on a ratio of a company's regulatory total adjusted
capital, as defined by the NAIC, to its authorized control level
risk-based capital, as defined by the NAIC. Companies with a ratio
below 200% (or below 250% with negative trends) are required to take
corrective action steps. As of December 31, 1994, Nationwide Life
Insurance Company's risk-based capital ratio was 758%. All insurance
subsidiaries of Nationwide Life Insurance Company exceed the minimum
risk-based capital requirements.
Effective December 31, 1994, the Company purchased all of the
outstanding shares of Employers Life Insurance Company of Wausau
from Wausau Service Corporation for an amount approximating $165
million, subject to specified adjustments, if any, subsequent to
year end. Wausau Service Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Employers Insurance of Wausau A Mutual Company, which is affiliated
with the Company's ultimate parent, Nationwide Mutual Insurance
Company. The Company transferred fixed maturity securities and cash
with a fair value of $155 million to Wausau Service Corporation,
which resulted in a realized loss of $19.2 million of the
disposition of the securities. An accrual approximating $10 million
is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. The purchase price
approximated both the historical cost basis and fair value of net
assets of Employers Life Insurance Company of Wausau.
On March 1, 1995, Nationwide Corporation contributed all of the
outstanding shares of Farmland Life Insurance Company to Nationwide
Life Insurance Company. Farmland Life Insurance Company's total
assets and shareholder's equity approximated $113 million and $41
million, respectively, which is 0.4% and 2.1% of the Company's total
assets and shareholder's equity, respectively, as of December 31,
1994.
The changes in ownership of Employers Life Insurance Company of
Wausau and Farmland Life Insurance Company were effected to align
essentially all life insurance operations of the Nationwide
Insurance Enterprise under Nationwide Life Insurance Company.
9
10
Liquidity: The Company's operations have historically provided
substantial positive cash flow. The significant growth in new
business and the resulting increase in investments have provided the
Company with sufficient cash resources to meet all current
obligations for policyholder benefits, withdrawals, surrenders and
policy loans. As a member of the Nationwide Insurance Enterprise,
the Company also has quick access to available capital infusions and
to several billion dollars of liquid and readily marketable invested
assets in the event of extreme unexpected withdrawals. The Company
also participates in intercompany repurchase agreements with
affiliates to satisfy short-term cash needs. Transactions under the
agreements were not material in 1994 and 1993.
The Company employs a process to match the maturities of assets and
liabilities and to identify cash and investment needs for the
respective line of business investment strategies. The matching
process includes a provision for more rapid than expected cash
outflows. The Company's investment strategy involves the commitment
of funds which provide for meeting its responsibilities to
policyholders and to provide a return to its shareholder.
To mitigate the risks that actual withdrawals may exceed anticipated
amounts or that rising interest rates may cause a decline in the
value of the Company's fixed maturity investments, the Company
imposes market value adjustments or surrender charges on the
majority of its products and offers products where the investment
risk is transferred to the contract holder. As of December 31, 1994,
only 10% of the Company's annuity contracts were subject to
withdrawal without a surrender charge or market value adjustment. In
addition, liabilities related to separate accounts, where the
investment risk is transferred to the policyholder, comprise 42% of
policyholder-related liabilities as of December 31, 1994, compared
to 38% as of December 31, 1993.
As described in note 13 to the consolidated financial statements,
Nationwide Life Insurance Company and its insurance subsidiaries are
limited by law in the amount of dividends they can pay. That
condition poses no liquidity concerns to the Company due to
Nationwide Life Insurance Company's significant cash flow from
operations and extensive holdings of liquid investments. In
addition, the Company had $120 million confirmed but unused bank
lines of credit as of December 31, 1994, which support a $100
million commercial paper borrowing authorization. During 1993, the
Company temporarily increased available bank lines of credit to $365
million and borrowed $125 million. In addition, $175 million of
short-term securities were issued as repurchase agreements. All
amounts were repaid in 1993, with interest totaling $1.6 million.
See note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.

(2) Certain executive officers of the Company participate in a long
term sustained performance incentive plan. The plan provides the
opportunity for participants to earn an award for achieving
predetermined goals during a four-year performance period. The
performance measures include: profitability goals, growth in
selected product lines and geographic areas and strategic goals in
key competitive aspects of the business operations. The performance
periods overlap, such that awards are determined every two years,
with the most recent performance period ending December 31, 1994.
Payout of awards occurs in the year immediately following the end
of a performance period. The award may range from 0% to 20% of the
sum of the base salaries for the final two calendar years of the
performance period.
Included in the Summary Compensation Table shown above are contributions made to
the Company's Employee Incentive Savings Plan. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company
contributes on behalf of all eligible employees. Company contributions are
included in column (e). Employee contributions are included in column (c). Since
contributions under the Plan may be invested in a fixed income security fund, a
common stock fund, a guaranteed interest fund, a short-term interest fund or
shares of Nationwide Investing Foundation (Nationwide Growth Fund), it is not
possible to estimate the annual benefits therefrom upon retirement.
The Company participates in the Nationwide Insurance Companies' management
incentive plans. These plans provide for incentive compensation based upon
achieving or exceeding operating gain objectives and upon the achievement and
betterment of planned expense levels and/or ratios. Additional incentive
compensation is paid, subject to achievement of the operating gain objective,
for achievement of premium and/or revenue objectives. Incentive penalties are
assessed for exceeding planned expense levels and/or ratios. Directors do not
participate in the plan. Payments under the plan are included in the Summary
Compensation Table as LTIP payouts.
Nationwide Life Insurance Company participates in the Nationwide Insurance
Companies' and Affiliates' 1976 Restated Retirement Plan. This pension plan is a
defined benefit plan designed to qualify under applicable provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code. Employees generally become eligible to participate after
one year of service with the Company and after reaching age 21. The following
table represents annual benefits payable in the event of retirement on or after
age 65.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Nationwide Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Nationwide Life
Insurance Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation) and
subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits
of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial
statement schedules as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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.
Participating insurance and the related surplus are discussed in note 13. The
Company and its counsel are of the opinion that the ultimate ownership of the
participating surplus in excess of the contemplated equitable policyholder
dividends belongs to the shareholder. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements are presented on such basis.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nationwide Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.
As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1994 the
Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
In 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes and SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
(000 s omitted)
(1) Organization and Description of Business
----------------------------------------
Nationwide Life Insurance Company (NLIC) is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation (Corp.). Wholly-owned
subsidiaries of NLIC include Financial Horizons Life Insurance
Company (FHLIC), West Coast Life Insurance Company (WCLIC), National
Casualty Company and subsidiaries (NCC), Nationwide Financial
Services, Inc. (NFS), and effective December 31, 1994, Employers Life
Insurance Company of Wausau and subsidiary (ELICW). NLIC and its
subsidiaries are collectively referred to as "the Company".
NLIC, FHLIC, WCLIC and ELICW are life and accident and health
insurers and NCC is a property and casualty insurer. The Company is
licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Virgin
Islands and Puerto Rico. The Company offers a full range of life,
health and annuity products through exclusive agents and other
distribution channels and is subject to competition from other
insurers throughout the United States. The Company is subject to
regulation by the Insurance Departments of states in which it is
licensed, and undergoes periodic examinations by those departments.
The following is a description of the most significant risks facing
life and health insurers and how the Company mitigates those risks:
LEGAL/REGULATORY RISK is the risk that changes in the legal
or regulatory environment in which an insurer operates will create
additional expenses not anticipated by the insurer in pricing
its products. That is, regulatory initiatives designed to
reduce insurer profits, new legal theories or insurance
company insolvencies through guaranty fund assessments may create
costs for the insurer beyond those recorded in the consolidated
financial statements. The Company mitigates this risk by offering
a wide range of products and by operating throughout the United
States, thus reducing its exposure to any single product or
jurisdiction, and also by employing underwriting practices
which identify and minimize the adverse impact of this risk.
CREDIT RISK is the risk that issuers of securities owned by the
Company or mortgagors on mortgage loans on real estate owned by the
Company will default or that other parties, including reinsurers,
which owe the Company money, will not pay. The Company minimizes
this risk by adhering to a conservative investment strategy, by
maintaining sound reinsurance and credit and collection policies
and by providing for any amounts deemed uncollectible.
INTEREST RATE RISK is the risk that interest rates will change
and cause a decrease in the value of an insurer's investments.
This change in rates may cause certain interest-sensitive
products to become uncompetitive or may cause disintermediation.
The Company mitigates this risk by charging fees for
non-conformance with certain policy provisions, by offering
products that transfer this risk to the purchaser, and/or by
attempting to match the maturity schedule of its assets with the
expected payouts of its liabilities. To the extent that
liabilities come due more quickly than assets mature, an insurer
would have to borrow funds or sell assets prior to maturity and
potentially recognize a gain or loss.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company that
materially affect financial reporting are summarized below. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which
differ from statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
regulatory authorities. See note 4.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates.
The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in
determining the liability for future policy benefits and claims and
those used in determining valuation allowances for mortgage loans on
real estate and real estate. Although some variability is inherent in
these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are adequate.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(a) Consolidation Policy
--------------------
The December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of NLIC and its
wholly owned subsidiaries FHLIC, WCLIC, NCC and NFS. The
December 31, 1994 consolidated balance sheet also
includes the accounts of ELICW, which was acquired by
NLIC effective December 31, 1994. See Note 14. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
(b) Valuation of Investments and Related Gains and Losses
-----------------------------------------------------
Prior to January 1, 1994, the Company classified fixed
maturities in accordance with the then existing accounting
standards, and accordingly, fixed maturity securities were
carried at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of
premium or discount, since the Company had both the
ability and intent to hold those securities until
maturity. Equity securities were carried at fair value
with the unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred
Federal income tax, reported as a separate component of
shareholder's equity.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS NO. 115 - ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN
DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES (SFAS 115). SFAS 115
requires fixed maturities and equity securities to be
classified as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale,
or trading. The Company has no trading securities. The
Company adopted SFAS 115 as of January 1, 1994, with no
effect on consolidated net income. See note 3 regarding
the effect on consolidated shareholder's equity.
Fixed maturity securities are classified as held-to-
maturity when the Company has the positive intent
and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are
stated at amortized cost. Fixed maturity securities not
classified as held-to-maturity and all equity securities
are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at
fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of
adjustments to deferred policy acquisition costs and
deferred Federal income tax, reported as a separate
component of shareholder's equity. The adjustment to
deferred policy acquisition costs represents the change
in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs that
would have been required as a charge or credit to
operations had such unrealized amounts been realized.
Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at the unpaid
principal balance less valuation allowances. The Company
provides valuation allowances for impairments of
mortgage loans on real estate based on a review by
portfolio managers. Loans in foreclosure and loans
considered in-substance foreclosed as of the balance
sheet date are placed on non-accrual status and written
down to the fair value of the existing property to
derive a new cost basis. Real estate is carried at
cost less accumulated depreciation and valuation
allowances. Other long-term investments are carried on
the equity basis, adjusted for valuation allowances.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are
determined on the basis of specific security
identification. Estimates for valuation allowances and
other than temporary declines are included in realized
gains and losses on investments.
In May, 1993, the FASB issued STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 114 - ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS
FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN (SFAS 114). SFAS 114, which
was amended by STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS NO. 118 - ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR
IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN - INCOME RECOGNITION AND
DISCLOSURE in October, 1994, requires the measurement of
impaired loans be based on the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the
loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The
impact on the consolidated financial statements of
adopting SFAS 114 as amended is not expected to be
material. Previously issued consolidated financial
statements shall not be restated. The Company will adopt
SFAS 114 as amended in 1995.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(c) Revenues and Benefits
---------------------
TRADITIONAL LIFE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: Traditional life
insurance products include those products with fixed and
guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist primarily of
whole life, limited-payment life, term life and certain
annuities with life contingencies. Premiums for
traditional life insurance products are recognized as
revenue when due and collected. Benefits and expenses
are associated with earned premiums so as to result in
recognition of profits over the life of the contract.
This association is accomplished by the provision for
future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization
of policy acquisition costs.
UNIVERSAL LIFE AND INVESTMENT PRODUCTS: Universal life
products include universal life, variable universal life
and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies.
Investment products consist primarily of individual and
group deferred annuities, annuities without life
contingencies and guaranteed investment contracts.
Revenues for universal life and investment products
consist of cost of insurance, policy administration and
surrender charges that have been earned and assessed
against policy account balances during the period.
Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense
include benefits and claims incurred in the period in
excess of related policy account balances and interest
credited to policy account balances.
ACCIDENT AND HEALTH INSURANCE: Accident and health
insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the
terms of the policies. Policy claims are charged to
expense in the period that the claims are incurred.
(d) Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
---------------------------------
The costs of acquiring new business, principally
commissions, certain expenses of the policy issue
and underwriting department and certain variable
agency expenses have been deferred. For traditional
life and individual health insurance products, these
deferred acquisition costs are predominantly being
amortized with interest over the premium paying period
of the related policies in proportion to the ratio of
actual annual premium revenue to the anticipated total
premium revenue. Such anticipated premium revenue was
estimated using the same assumptions as were used for
computing liabilities for future policy benefits. For
universal life and investment products, deferred policy
acquisition costs are being amortized with interest over
the lives of the policies in relation to the present
value of estimated future gross profits from projected
interest margins, cost of insurance, policy
administration and surrender charges. For years in
which gross profits are negative, deferred policy
acquisition costs are amortized based on the present
value of gross revenues. Beginning January 1, 1994,
deferred policy acquisition costs are adjusted to
reflect the impact of unrealized gains and losses on
fixed maturity securities available-for-sale. See note
2(b).
(e) Separate Accounts
-----------------
Separate Account assets and liabilities represent
contractholders' funds which have been segregated into
accounts with specific investment objectives. The
investment income and gains or losses of these accounts
accrue directly to the contractholders. The activity of
the Separate Accounts is not reflected in the
consolidated statements of income and cash flows except
for the fees the Company receives for administrative
services and risks assumed.
(f) Future Policy Benefits
----------------------
Future policy benefits for traditional life and individual
health policies have been calculated using a net level
premium method based on estimates of mortality,
morbidity, investment yields and withdrawals which were
used or which were being experienced at the time the
policies were issued, rather than the assumptions
prescribed by state regulatory authorities. See note 6.
Future policy benefits for annuity policies in the
accumulation phase, universal life and variable universal
life policies have been calculated based on participants'
contributions plus interest credited less applicable
contract charges.
Future policy benefits and claims for group long-term
disability policies are the present value (primarily
discounted at 5.5%) of amounts not yet due on reported
claims and an estimate of amounts to be paid on incurred
but unreported claims. The impact of reserve discounting
is not material. Future policy benefits and claims on
other group health policies are not discounted.

(g) Participating Business
----------------------
Participating business represents approximately 45%
(48% in 1993 and 1992) of the Company's ordinary
life insurance in force, 72% (72% in 1993; 71% in 1992)
of the number of policies in force, and 41% (45% in 1993
and 1992) of life insurance premiums. The provision for
policyholder dividends is based on current dividend
scales. Future dividends are provided for ratably in
future policy benefits based on dividend scales in effect
at the time the policies were issued. Dividend scales are
approved by the Board of Directors.
Income attributable to participating policies in excess
of policyholder dividends is accounted for as belonging to
the shareholder. See note 13.
(h) Federal Income Tax
------------------
NLIC, FHLIC, WCLIC and NCC file a consolidated Federal
income tax return with Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company
(NMIC), the majority shareholder of Corp. Through 1994,
ELICW filed a consolidated Federal income tax return with
Employers Insurance of Wausau A Mutual Company.
Beginning in 1995, ELICW will file a separate Federal
income tax return.
In 1993, the Company adopted STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 109 - ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME
TAXES, which required a change from the deferred method
of accounting for income tax of APB Opinion 11 to the
asset and liability method of accounting for income tax.
Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases
and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Under this
method, the effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to
be realized.
Prior to 1993, the Company applied the deferred method
of accounting for income tax which recognized deferred
income tax for income and expense items that are reported
in different years for financial reporting purposes and
income tax purposes using the tax rate applicable for
the year of calculation. Under the deferred method,
deferred tax is not adjusted for subsequent changes in tax
rates. See note 7.
The Company has reported the cumulative effect of the
change in method of accounting for income tax in the
1993 consolidated statement of income. See note 3.
(i) Reinsurance Ceded
-----------------
Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries
on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from the
respective income and expense accounts. Assets and
liabilities related to reinsurance ceded are reported on
a gross basis.
(j) Cash Equivalents
----------------
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash
flows, the Company considers all short-term investments
with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
(k) Reclassification
----------------
Certain items in the 1993 and 1992 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1994
presentation.

(3) Changes in Accounting Principles
--------------------------------
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company changed its method of
accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities in
connection with the issuance of a new accounting standard by the FASB
as described in Note 2(b). As of January 1, 1994, the company
classified fixed maturity securities with amortized cost and fair value
of $6,593,844 and $7,024,736, respectively, as available-for-sale
and recorded the securities at fair value. Previously, these
securities were recorded at amortized cost. The effect as of January
1, 1994 has been recorded as a direct credit to shareholder's equity
as follows:
Excess of fair value over amortized cost of fixed maturity
securities available-for-sale $430,892
Adjustment to deferred policy acquisition costs (97,177)
Deferred Federal income tax (116,800)
--------
$216,915
========
During 1993, the Company adopted accounting principles in
connection with the issuance of two accounting standards by the FASB.
The effect as of January 1, 1993, the date of adoption, has been
recognized in the 1993 consolidated statement of income as the
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, as follows:
Asset/liability method of recognizing income tax (note 7) $ 26,344
Accrual method of recognizing postretirement benefits other
than pensions (net of tax benefit of $11,296), (note 11) (20,979)
--------
Net cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles $ 5,365
========
(4) Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Annual Statements for NLIC and FHLIC, WCLIC,
ELICW and NCC, filed with the Department ofInsurance of the State of
Ohio, California Department of Insurance, Wisconsin Insurance
Department and Michigan Bureau of Insurance, respectively, are prepared
on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
such regulatory authorities. Prescribed statutory accounting
practices include a variety of publications of the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), as well as state laws, regulations
and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting
practices encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed. The
Company has no material permitted statutory accounting practices.

Proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale during
1994 were $247,876, while proceeds from sales of investments in
fixed maturity securities during 1993 were $33,959 ($123,422 during
1992). Gross gains of $3,406 ($2,413 in 1993 and $3,194 in 1992) and
gross losses of $21,866 ($39 in 1993 and $513 in 1992) were realized
on those sales.
Investments that were non-income producing for the twelve month
period preceding December 31, 1994 amounted to $11,513 ($13,158 for

Investments with an amortized cost of $11,137 and $11,383 as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, were on deposit with various
regulatory agencies as required by law.
(6) Future Policy Benefits and Claims
---------------------------------
The liability for future policy benefits for traditional life and
individual health policies has been established based upon the
following assumptions:
Interest rates: Interest rates vary as follows:
Year of issue Life Health
------------- ---- ------
1994 7.2 %, not graded - permanent contracts with loan provisions; 5.0%
6.0%, not graded - all other contracts
1984-1993 7.4% to 10.5%, not graded 5.0% to 6%
1966-1983 6% to 8.1%, graded over 20 years to 4% to 6.6% 3.5% to 6%
1965 and prior generally lower than post 1965 issues 3.5% to 4%
Withdrawals: Rates, which vary by issue age, type of coverage
and policy duration, are based on Company experience.
Mortality: Mortality and morbidity rates are based on
published tables, modified for the Company's actual experience.
The liability for future policy benefits for investment contracts
(approximately 81% and 80% of the total liability for future policy
benefits as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively) has been
established based on policy term, interest rates and various contract
provisions. The average interest rate credited on investment product
policies was 6.5%, 7.0% and 7.5% for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively.
Future policy benefits and claims for group long-term disability
policies are the present value (primarily discounted at 5.5%) of
amounts not yet due on reported claims and an estimate of amounts to be
paid on incurred but unreported claims. The impact of reserve
discounting is not material. Future policy benefits and claims on
other group health policies are not discounted.
Activity in the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment
expenses is summarized for the years ended December 31:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
As a result of changes in estimates for insured events of prior
years, the provision for claims and claim adjustment expenses
decreased in each of the three years ended December 31, 1994 due to
lower-than-anticipated costs to settle accident and health claims.
(7) Federal Income Tax
------------------
Prior to 1984, the Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act of 1959 as
amended by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (DRA), permitted the
deferral from taxation of a portion of statutory income under certain
circumstances. In these situations, the deferred income was
accumulated in the Policyholders' Surplus Account (PSA). Management
considers the likelihood of distributions from the PSA to be remote;
therefore, no Federal income tax has been provided for such
distributions in the consolidated financial statements. The DRA
eliminated any additional deferrals to the PSA. Any distributions
from the PSA, however, will continue to be taxable at the then current
tax rate. The balance of the PSA is approximately $35,344 as of
December 31, 1994.
The Company adopted STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO.
109 - ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES (SFAS 109), as of January 1, 1993.
See note 3. The 1992 consolidated financial statements have not
been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS 109.
The significant components of deferred income tax expense for the years
ended December 31 are as follows:
1994 1993
------ ------
Deferred income tax expense (exclusive of the
effects of other components listed below) $9,657 29,930
Adjustments to deferred income tax assets and
liabilities for enacted changes in tax laws
and rates - 1,704
------ ------
$9,657 31,634
====== ======
For the year ended December 31, 1992, the deferred income tax
benefit results from timing differences in the recognition of
income and expense for income tax and financial reporting purposes.
The primary sources of those timing differences were deferred policy
acquisition costs (deferred expense of $16,457) and reserves for future
policy benefits (deferred benefit of $32,045).
Total Federal income tax expense for the years ended December 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992 differs from the amount computed by applying the
U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before tax as follows:

The Company has determined that valuation allowances are not
necessary as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and January 1, 1993 (date of
adoption of SFAS 109) based on its analysis of future deductible
amounts. All future deductible amounts can be offset by future
taxable amounts or recovery of Federal income tax paid within the
statutory carryback period. In addition, for future deductible
amounts for securities available-for-sale, affiliates of the Company
which are included in the same consolidated Federal income tax return
hold investments that could be sold for capital gains that could offset
capital losses realized by the Company should securities
available-for-sale be sold at a loss.
(8) Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------------------------
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 107 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (SFAS 107) requires disclosure of
fair value information about existing on and off-balance sheet financial
instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation
techniques.
These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used,
including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.
Although fair value estimates are calculated using assumptions that
management believes are appropriate, changes in assumptions could cause
these estimates to vary materially. In that regard, the derived fair
value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent
markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in the immediate
settlement of the instruments. SFAS 107 excludes certain assets and
liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the
aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying
value of the Company.
Although insurance contracts, other than policies such as annuities that
are classified as investment contracts, are specifically exempted from
SFAS 107 disclosures, estimated fair value of policy reserves on
insurance contracts are provided to make the fair value disclosures more
meaningful.
The tax ramifications of the related unrealized gains and losses can
have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been
considered in the estimates.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures:
CASH, SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND POLICY LOANS: The carrying
amount reported in the balance sheets for these instruments
approximate their fair value.
36
37
NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Fair value for fixed maturity
securities is based on quoted market prices, where available.
For fixed maturity securities not actively traded, fair value is
estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services
or, in the case of private placements, is estimated by
discounting expected future cash flows using a current market rate
applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of the
investments. The fair value for equity securities is based on quoted
market prices.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES: The fair value of assets
held in Separate Accounts is based on quoted market prices.
The fair value of liabilities related to Separate Accounts is the
amount payable on demand.
MORTGAGE LOANS ON REAL ESTATE: The fair value for mortgage loans on
real estate is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,
using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans
to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar
characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.
Fair value for mortgages in default is valued at the estimated fair
value of the underlying collateral.
INVESTMENT CONTRACTS: Fair value for the Company's liabilities
under investment type contracts is disclosed using two methods.
For investment contracts without defined maturities, fair value
is the amount payable on demand. For investment contracts with
known or determined maturities, fair value is estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis. Interest rates used are similar
to currently offered contracts with maturities consistent with
those remaining for the contracts being valued.
POLICY RESERVES ON INSURANCE CONTRACTS: Included are disclosures
for individual life, universal life and supplementary contracts with
life contingencies for which the estimated fair value is the
amount payable on demand. Also included are disclosures for the
Company's limited payment policies, which the Company has used
discounted cash flow analyses similar to those used for investment
contracts with known maturities to estimate fair value.
POLICYHOLDERS DIVIDEND ACCUMULATIONS AND OTHER POLICYHOLDER
FUNDS: The carrying amount reported in the consolidated
balance sheets for these instruments approximates their fair value.
Carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments
subject to SFAS 107 and policy reserves on insurance contracts were as
follows as of December 31:

(9) Additional Financial Instruments Disclosures
--------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK: The Company is a
party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business through management of its investment
portfolio. These financial instruments include commitments to
extend credit in the form of loans. These instruments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts
recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.
Commitments to fund fixed rate mortgage loans on real estate are
agreements to lend to a borrower, and are subject to conditions
established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a deposit. Commitments extended by the Company are based on
management's case-by-case credit evaluation of the borrower and
the borrower's loan collateral. The underlying mortgage property
represents the collateral if the commitment is funded. The Company's
policy for new mortgage loans on real estate is to lend no more than
80% of collateral value. Should the commitment be funded, the
Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the borrower is represented by the contractual amounts of these
commitments less the net realizable value of the collateral. The
contractual amounts also represent the cash requirements for all
unfunded commitments. Commitments on mortgage loans on real estate
of $243,200 extending into 1995 were outstanding as of December 31,
1994.
SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK: The Company grants mainly
commercial mortgage loans on real estate to customers throughout the
United States. The Company has a diversified portfolio with no more
than 22% (23% in 1993) in any geographic area and no more than 2%
(2% in 1993) with any one borrower. The summary below depicts loans

(10) Pension Plan
------------
NLIC, FHLIC, WCLIC, NCC, and NFS participate together with other
affiliated companies, in a pension plan covering all employees who
have completed at least one thousand hours of service within a
twelve-month period and who have met certain age requirements. Plan
contributions are invested in a group annuity contract of NLIC.
Benefits are based upon the highest average annual salary of any
three consecutive years of the last ten years of service. The Company
funds pension costs accrued for direct employees plus an allocation of
pension costs accrued for employees of affiliates whose work efforts
benefit the Company.
Pension costs charged to operations by the Company during the years
ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $10,451, $6,702 and
$4,613, respectively.

(11) Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
-------------------------------------------
In addition to the defined benefit pension plan, NLIC, FHLIC, WCLIC,
NCC and NFS participate with other affiliated companies in life and
health care defined benefit plans for qualifying retirees.
Postretirement life and health care benefits are contributory and
available to full time employees who have attained age 55 and
have accumulated 15 years of service with the Company after reaching
age 40. Postretirement life insurance contributions are based on age
and coverage amount of each retiree. Postretirement health care
benefit contributions are adjusted annually and contain cost-sharing
features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The accounting for the
health care plan anticipates future cost-sharing changes to the
written plan that are consistent with the Company's expressed intent
to increase the retiree contribution amount annually for expected
health care inflation. The Company's policy is to fund the cost of
health care benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of
management. The Company began funding in 1994. Plan assets are
invested in group annuity contracts of NLIC.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 106 - EMPLOYERS'
ACCOUNTING FOR POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS (SFAS 106),
which requires the accrual method of accounting for postretirement
life and health care insurance benefits based on actuarially
determined costs to be recognized over the period from the date of
hire to the full eligibility date of employees who are expected to
qualify for such benefits. Postretirement benefit cost for 1992, which
was recorded on a cash basis, has not been restated.
The Company elected to immediately recognize its estimated accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of January 1, 1993. Accordingly,
a noncash charge of $32,275 ($20,979 net of related income tax
benefit) was recorded in the consolidated statement of income as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. See note 3.
The adoption of SFAS 106, including the cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principle, increased the expense for
postretirement benefits by $35,277 to $36,544 in 1993. Net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for 1994 was $4,627. The Company's
accrued postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 and
1993 was $36,001 and $35,277, respectively.
Actuarial assumptions for the measurement of the December 31, 1994
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation include a discount rate
of 8% and an assumed health care cost trend rate of 11%, uniformly
declining to an ultimate rate of 6% over 12 years.
Actuarial assumptions for the measurement of the December 31, 1993
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the 1994 net
periodic postretirement benefit cost include a discount rate of 7% and
an assumed health care cost trend rate of 12%, uniformly declining to
an ultimate rate of 6% over 12 years.
Actuarial assumptions used to determine the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of January 1, 1993 and the 1993 net periodic
postretirement benefit cost include a discount rate of 8% and an
assumed health care cost trend rate of 14%, uniformly declining to an
ultimate rate of 6% over 12 years.
Information regarding the funded status of the plan as a whole as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993 follows:
1994 1993
--------- ---------
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation:
Retirees $ 76,677 90,312

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
The amount of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the plan as
a whole for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 is as follows:
1994 1993
------- -------
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost:
Service cost - benefits attributed to employee service during the year $ 8,586 7,090
Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 14,011 13,928
Actual return on plan assets (1,622) -
Net amortization and deferral 1,622 -
------- ------
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $22,597 21,018
======= ======
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect
on the amounts reported. A one percentage point increase in the
assumed health care cost trend rate would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 by
$8,109 and $15,621, respectively, and the net periodic postretirement
benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 by $866 and
$2,377, respectively.
(12) Portfolio Transfer of Credit Life and Credit Accident and Health
----------------------------------------------------------------
On March 13, 1992, WCLIC entered into an assignment and assumption
agreement with American Bankers Life Assurance Company of Florida
(ABLAC) under which ABLAC assumed, by portfolio transfer, substantially
all of WCLIC's credit life and accident and health policies in force as
of January 1, 1992. A pre-tax loss of approximately $15,000 was
recognized from this transaction in 1992. The loss represents
approximately $34,000 of amortization of deferred policy acquisition
costs, less approximately $27,000 in ceded commissions earned, plus
death benefits incurred and other expenses. Under the terms defined in
the assignment and assumption agreement, WCLIC is contingently liable
for adverse development of claims activity up to a defined limit. As
of December 31, 1994, WCLIC has provided for a contingent liability
based on the development of claims experience through December 31,
1994. As of December 31, 1993, WCLIC had provided for the maximum
contingent liability in the absence of conclusive claims experience
development.
(13) Regulatory Risk-Based Capital, Retained Earnings and Dividend
-------------------------------------------------------------
Restrictions
------------
Each insurance company's state of domicile imposes minimum risk-based
capital requirements that were developed by the NAIC. The
formulas for determining the amount of risk-based capital specify
various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or
various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk.
Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of the company's
regulatory total adjusted capital, as defined by the NAIC, to its
authorized control level risk-based capital, as defined by the NAIC.
Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified
within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective
action. NLIC and each of its insurance subsidiaries exceed the minimum
risk-based capital requirements.
In accordance with the requirements of the New York statutes, the
Company has agreed with the Superintendent of Insurance of that state
that so long as participating policies and contracts are held by
residents of New York, no profits on participating policies and
contracts in excess of the larger of (a) ten percent of such profits or
(b) fifty cents per year per thousand dollars of participating life
insurance in force, exclusive of group term, at the year-end shall
inure to the benefit of the shareholders. Such New York statutes
further provide that so long as such agreement is in effect, such
excess of profits shall be exhibited as "participating policyholders'
surplus" in annual statements filed with the Superintendent and shall be
used only for the payment or apportionment of dividends to participating
policyholders at least to the extent required by statute or for the
purpose of making up any loss on participating policies.
In the opinion of counsel for the Company, the ultimate ownership of
the entire surplus, however classified, of the Company resides with the
shareholder, subject to the usual requirements under state laws and
regulations that certain deposits, reserves and minimum surplus be
maintained for the protection of the policyholders until all policy
contracts are discharged.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Based on the opinion of counsel with respect to the ownership of its
surplus, the Company is of the opinion that the earnings attributable
to participating policies in excess of the amounts paid as dividends
to policyholders belong to the shareholder rather than the
policyholders, and such earnings are so treated by the Company.
The amount of shareholder's equity other than capital shares
was $1,904,664, $1,647,353, and $1,426,427 as of December 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The amount thereof not
presently available for dividends to the shareholder due to the New
York restrictions and to adjustments relating to GAAP was $929,934,
$954,037 and $841,583 as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
Ohio law limits the payment of dividends to shareholders. The
maximum dividend that may be paid by the Company without prior
approval of the Director of the Department of Insurance of the State
of Ohio is limited to the greater of statutory gain from operations of
the preceding calendar year or 10% of statutory shareholder's surplus
as of the prior December 31. Therefore, $1,707,110, of shareholder's
equity, as presented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, is restricted as to dividend payments in 1995.
California law limits the payment of dividends to shareholders of
WCLIC. The maximum dividend that may be paid by WCLIC without
prior approval of the Commissioner of the State of California
Department of Insurance is limited to the greater of WCLIC's
statutory net income of the preceding calendar year or 10% of
WCLIC's statutory shareholder's surplus as of the prior December 31.
Therefore, $126,489 of WCLIC's shareholder's equity is restricted as
to dividend payments in 1995.
Wisconsin law limits the payment of dividends to shareholders of ELICW.
The maximum dividend that may be paid by ELICW without prior approval
of the Commissioner of the State of Wisconsin is limited to the greater
of ELICW's statutory net income of the preceding calendar year or 10%
of ELICW s statutory surplus as of the prior December 31, Therefore,
$135,369 of ELICW's shareholder's equity is restricted as to dividend
payments in 1995.
Michigan law limits the payment of dividends to shareholders of NCC.
The maximum dividend that may be paid by NCC without prior approval
of the Commissioner of the State of Michigan Bureau of Insurance is
limited to the greater of NCC's statutory net income, not including
realized capital gains, of the preceding calendar year or 10% of
NCC's statutory shareholder's surplus as of the prior December 31.
Therefore, $66,564 of NCC's shareholder's equity is restricted as to
dividend payments in 1995. In addition, prior approval is not required
for a dividend which does not increase gross leverage to a point in
excess of the United States consolidated industry average for the most
recent available year.
(14) Transactions With Affiliates
----------------------------
Effective December 31, 1994, NLIC purchased all of the outstanding
shares of ELICW from Wausau Service Corporation (WSC) for an
amount approximating $165,000, subject to specified adjustments, if
any, subsequent to year end. NLIC transferred fixed maturity
securities and cash with a fair value of $155,000 to WSC on
December 28, 1994, which resulted in a realized loss of $19,239 on
the disposition of the securities. An accrual approximating $10,000
is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The
purchase price approximated both the historical cost basis and fair
value of net assets of ELICW. ELICW has and will continue to share
home office, other facilities, equipment and common management and
administrative services with WSC.
The deferred compensation annuity line of business of the Company
is primarily sold through Public Employees Benefit Services
Corporation (PEBSCO). The Company paid PEBSCO commissions and
administrative fees of $26,699, $22,681 and $20,146 in 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively. PEBSCO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Corp.
The Company and NEA Valuebuilder Investor Services, Inc. (NEAVIS) have
contracted with the National Education Association (NEA) to provide
individual annuity contracts to be marketed exclusively to members of
the NEA. The Company paid NEAVIS a marketing development fee of
$11,095, $9,229 and $6,426 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
NEAVIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Corp.
The Company shares home office, other facilities, equipment and
common management and administrative services with affiliates.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company participates in intercompany repurchase agreements
with affiliates whereby the seller will transfer securities to the
buyer at a stated value. Upon demand or a stated period, the
securities will be repurchased by the seller at the original sales
price plus a price differential. Transactions under the agreements
during 1994 and 1993 were not material.
During 1993, the Company sold equity securities with a market value
$194,515 to NMIC, resulting in a realized gain of $122,823. With the
proceeds, the Company purchased securities with a market value of
$194,139 and cash of $376 from NMIC.
Intercompany reinsurance contracts exist between NLIC and NMIC,
NLIC and WCLIC, NLIC and NCC, WCLIC and NMIC and WCLIC and
ELICW as of December 31, 1994. These contracts are immaterial to
the consolidated financial statements.
NCC participates in several 100% quota share reinsurance agreements
with NMIC. NCC serves as the licensed insurer as required for an
affiliated excess and surplus lines company and cedes 100% of direct
written premiums to NMIC. In 1989, NCC transferred 100% of assets and
unearned premiums and loss reserves related to a discontinued block of
assumed reinsurance to NMIC (95.3%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire
Insurance Company (4.7%). Effective January 1, 1993, NCC entered into
a 100% quota share reinsurance agreement to cede to NMIC 100% of all
written premiums not subject to any other reinsurance agreements.
As a result of these agreements, and in accordance with STATEMENT OF
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 113 - ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING FOR
REINSURANCE OF SHORT-DURATION AND LONG-DURATION CONTRACTS, the
following amounts are included in the consolidated financial statements
as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 for reinsurance ceded:
1994 1993
-------- --------
Reinsurance recoverable $575,721 533,401
Unearned premium reserves (118,092) (102,644)
Loss and claim reserves (371,974) (352,303)
Loss and expense reserves (85,655) (78,454)
-------- --------
$ 0 0
======== ========
The ceding of reinsurance does not discharge the original insurer
from primary liability to its policyholder. The insurer which assumes
the coverage assumes the related liability and it is the practice of
insurers to treat insured risks, to the extent of reinsurance ceded,
as though they were risks for which the original insurer is not liable.
Management believes the financial strength of NMIC reduces to an
acceptable level any risk to NCC under these intercompany reinsurance
agreements.
The Company and various affiliates entered into agreements with
Nationwide Cash Management Company (NCMC) and California Cash
Management Company (CCMC), both affiliates, under which NCMC and CCMC
act as common agents in handling the purchase and sale of short-term
securities for the respective accounts of the participants. Amounts on
deposit with NCMC and CCMC were $92,531 and $28,683 at December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively, and are included in short-term
investments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
(15) Bank Lines of Credit
--------------------
As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, NLIC had $120,000 of confirmed but
unused bank lines of credit which support a $100,000 commercial paper
borrowing authorization. Additionally, NFS had $27,000 of confirmed
but unused bank lines of credit.
