ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    Aetna Insurance Company of America (the "Company") is a stock life insurance
    company organized in 1990 under the insurance laws of the state of
    Connecticut. Effective January 5, 2000, the Company changed its state of
    domicile from Connecticut to Florida. The Company is a wholly owned
    subsidiary of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ALIAC"). ALIAC is a
    wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc. ("HOLDCO").
    HOLDCO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc.
    ("ARSI"), whose ultimate parent is ING Groep N.V. ("ING"). The Company has
    one operating segment and all revenue reported by the Company comes from
    external customers.

    The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting
    principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are
    unaudited. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 financial
    information to conform to the 2001 presentation. These interim statements
    necessarily rely heavily on estimates, including assumptions as to
    annualized tax rates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
    necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been
    made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The
    accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
    financial statements and related notes as presented in the Company's 2000
    Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain financial information that is normally
    included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
    accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
    but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed
    or omitted.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

    As of January 1, 2001, the Company adopted FAS No. 133, Accounting for
    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted
    by FAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
    Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, FAS
    No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
    Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. and certain FAS No.
    133 implementation issues. This standard, as amended, requires companies to
    record all derivatives on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities
    and measure those instruments at fair value. The manner in which companies
    are to record gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of
    those derivatives depends on the use of the derivative and whether it
    qualifies for hedge accounting.

    Adoption of FAS No. 133 did not have a material effect on the Company's
    financial position or results of operations given to the Company's limited
    derivative and embedded derivative holdings.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD (continued)

    The Company may utilize futures contracts, options, interest rate swap
    agreements and warrants in order to manage interest rate and price risk
    (collectively, market risk). These financial exposures are monitored and
    managed by the Company as an integral part of its overall risk management
    program. Derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The
    Company does not designate its derivative instruments as part of hedge
    transactions. Therefore changes in the fair value of the Company's
    derivative instruments are recorded immediately in the consolidated
    statements of income as part of realized capital gains and losses.

    Warrants are instruments that give the holder the right, but not the
    obligation, to buy or sell a fixed amount of an underlying asset at a fixed
    price in the future. Warrants are carried at fair value and are recorded as
    either derivative instruments or FAS No. 115 available for sale securities.
    Warrants that are considered derivatives are carried at fair value if they
    are readily convertible to cash. The values of these warrants can fluctuate
    given that the companies which underlie the warrants are non public
    companies. Warrants, considered to be derivatives, will be revalued each
    quarter and the change in the value of the warrants will be included in the
    consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had no
    warrants.

    The Company, at times, may own warrants on common stock which are not
    readily convertible to cash as they contain certain conditions which
    preclude their convertibility and therefore, will not be included in assets
    or liabilities as derivatives. If conditions are satisfied and the
    underlying stocks become marketable, the warrants would be reclassified as
    derivatives and recorded at fair value as an adjustment through current
    period results of operations.

    The Company occasionally purchases a financial instrument that contains a
    derivative instrument that is "embedded" in the instrument. In addition, the
    Company's insurance products are reviewed to determine whether they contain
    an embedded derivative. To the extent a financial instrument or insurance
    product (host instrument) contains an embedded derivative, the Company
    assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are
    clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host
    contract and whether a separate instrument with the same terms as the
    embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative instrument.
    When it is determined that the embedded derivative possesses economic
    characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic
    characteristics of the host contract and that a separate instrument with the
    same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative
    is separated from the host contract and carried at fair value. However, in
    cases where the host contract is measured at fair value, with changes in
    fair value reported in current period earnings or the Company is unable to
    reliably identify and measure the embedded derivative for separation from
    its host contract, the entire contract is carried on the balance sheet at
    fair value and is not designated as a hedging instrument. The Company had no
    material amounts of embedded derivatives at March 31, 2001.

3. SALE OF AETNA FINANCIAL SERVICES AND AETNA INTERNATIONAL

    On December 13, 2000, ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., an indirect
    wholly owned subsidiary of ING, acquired Aetna Inc., comprised of the Aetna
    Financial Services business, of which the Company is a part, and the Aetna
    International business, for approximately $7.7 billion. The purchase price
    was comprised of approximately $5.0 billion in cash and the assumption of
    $2.7 billion of outstanding debt and other net liabilities. In connection
    with the acquisition, Aetna Inc. was renamed Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.
    ("Lion"). At the time of the sale, Lion entered into certain transition
    services agreements with a former related party, Aetna U.S. Healthcare
    which was renamed Aetna Inc. ("former Aetna").

    For accounting purposes, the acquisition was accounted for as of November
    30, 2000 using the purchase method. The application of the purchase method,
    including the recognition of goodwill, was pushed down and reflected on the
    financial statements of certain ARSI subsidiaries, including the Company.

    The purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their
    respective fair values. This revaluation resulted in a net increase to
    assets, excluding the effects of goodwill, of $3.2 million and a net
    increase to liabilities of $1.1 million. Additionally, the Company
    established goodwill of $98.9 million. Goodwill is being amortized over a
    period of 40 years. The allocation of the purchase price to assets and
    liabilities is subject to further refinement.

    Unaudited pro forma consolidated net income of the Company for the three
    months ended March 31, 2000, assuming that the acquisition of the Company
    occurred at the beginning of 2000, would each have been approximately $0.6
    million. The pro forma adjustments, which do not affect revenues, reflect
    primarily goodwill amortization.

4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

    Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income related to changes in
    unrealized gains on securities (excluding those related to experience-rated
    contractholders) were as follows:

5. VALUE OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED

     Value of business acquired ("VOBA") is an asset and represents the present
     value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the Company's contracts

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors
Aetna Insurance Company of America

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Aetna Insurance
Company of America (the Company) as of March 31, 2001, and the related condensed
statements of income, changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows for the
three-month period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. The condensed balance sheet and the related
condensed statements of income, changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows
as of March 31, 2000, and for the three-month period then ended were reviewed by
other accountants whose report (dated April 26, 2000) stated that they were not
aware of any material modifications that should be made to those statements for
them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be
performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

                                                          /s/ Ernst & Young LLP

OVERVIEW

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On December 13, 2000, ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), acquired Aetna Inc., comprised of
the Aetna Financial Services business, of which the Company is a part, and the
Aetna International business, for approximately $7.7 billion. The purchase price
was comprised of approximately $5.0 billion in cash and the assumption of $2.7
billion of outstanding debt and other net liabilities. In connection with the
acquisition, Aetna Inc. was renamed Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. ("Lion"). At
the time of the sale, Lion entered into certain transition services agreements
with a former related party, Aetna U.S. Healthcare, which was renamed Aetna Inc.
("former Aetna"). Refer to Note 3 of Condensed Notes to Financial Statements for
more information of the acquisition.

(2)  Includes $68.1 million and $76.9 million related to the assets supporting a
     guaranteed interest option at March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000,
     respectively.
(3)  Includes $625.6 million and $901.2 million at March 31, 2001 and March 31,
     2000, respectively, of assets invested through the Company's products in
     unaffiliated mutual funds.
(4)  Includes $280.6 million and $334.1 million of assets managed by Aeltus
     Investment Management, Inc., an affiliate of the Company, at March 31, 2001
     and March 31, 2000, respectively, and includes $77.8 million and $131.1
     million of assets managed by the Company's parent, ALIAC, at March 31, 2001
     and March 31, 2000, respectively.

The Company reported net income of $0.7 million and $1.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Excluding goodwill
amortization of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2001 and net realized
capital gains and losses, results for the three months ended March 31, 2001
decreased $0.7 million compared to the same period in 2000. This decrease in
earnings is due primarily to a decrease in charges assessed against
policyholders and an increase in the effective tax rate partially offset by a
decrease in operating expenses.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Substantially all of the charges assessed against policyholders reported by the
Company are derived from assets under management. For the quarter ended March
31, 2001, assets under management decreased $382 million, or 28%, compared to
the same period in 2000 primarily due to a decline in the stock market.

Annuity deposits relate to annuity contracts not containing life contingencies.
Deposits increased by $9 million, or 196%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001
compared to the same period in 2000 primarily due to an increase in group
annuity sales partially offset by a decrease in individual annuity sales. Refer
to the "Outlook" section of Management's Analysis of the Results of Operations
in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Lower operating expenses in the first quarter of 2001 are a result of the
Company's decision to not actively market its annuity products to individuals
(refer to the "Outlook" section of Management's Analysis of the Results of
Operations in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K).

The increase in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2001 is
primarily related to the disallowance of goodwill amortization as a deduction
and a decrease in the deduction for dividends received.

GENERAL ACCOUNT INVESTMENTS

Effective April 1, 2001, ING Investment Management, LLC, an affiliate of the
Company, became the advisor of the Company's general account investments
replacing Aeltus Investment Management, Inc, also an affiliate of the Company.

DEBT SECURITIES

At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company's carrying value of
available for sale debt securities including debt securities pledged to
creditors (herein after referred to as "total debt securities") represented 99%
and 97%, respectively, of the total general account invested assets. For the
same periods, debt securities equal to $117.0 million (90% of the total debt
securities) and $119.1 million (90% of the total debt securities), respectively,
supported experience-rated contracts. Total debt securities reflected net
unrealized capital gains of $3.1 million and $0.8 million at March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, respectively.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
GENERAL ACCOUNT INVESTMENTS (continued)

It is management's objective that the portfolio of debt securities be of high
quality and be well diversified by market sector. The debt securities in the
Company's portfolio are generally rated by external rating agencies, and, if not
externally rated, are rated by the Company on a basis believed to be similar to
that used by the rating agencies. The average quality rating of the Company's
debt security portfolio was AA- at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000.

The percentage of total debt securities by quality rating category is as
