ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

                       AETNA INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA
    (A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company)

                     Condensed Notes to Financial Statements


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.,
   whose ultimate parent is Aetna Inc. ("Aetna"). The Company has one operating
   segment and all revenue reported by the Company comes from external
   customers.

   The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
   accepted accounting principles and are unaudited. Certain reclassifications
   have been made to the 1999 financial information to conform to the 2000
   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 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain financial information
   that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
   accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but that is not
   required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted.


2) RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

   AGREEMENT TO SELL AETNA FINANCIAL SERVICES AND AETNA INTERNATIONAL

   On July 20, 2000, Aetna announced that it reached a definitive agreement to
   sell its Aetna Financial Services and Aetna International businesses to ING
   Groep N.V. ("ING") in a transaction valued at approximately $7.7 billion.
   The Company is part of the Aetna Financial Services business and will be
   included in the sale to ING. Under the terms of the agreement, in two
   effectively simultaneous steps: (1) Aetna will spin off to its shareholders
   the shares of a standalone health company that will be comprised primarily
   of its Aetna U.S. Healthcare and Large Case Pensions businesses; and (2)
   Aetna, which then will be comprised of Aetna Financial Services and Aetna
   International, will merge with a newly formed subsidiary of ING.

     (A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company)

               Condensed Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


2) RECENT DEVELOPMENTS (CONTINUED)

   Aetna's goal is to close the transaction, which is subject to receipt of
   required shareholder, regulatory and other consents and approvals, as well
   as other closing conditions, by year-end 2000. An Aetna shareholders'
   meeting has been scheduled for November 30, 2000 to consider the
   transaction and certain other matters. The full impact of the sale to ING
   on the Company's financial position and results of operations cannot be
   determined at this time.


3) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

   On January 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Position 98-7, Deposit
   Accounting: Accounting for Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts That Do Not
   Transfer Insurance Risk, issued by the American Institute of Certified
   Public Accountants. This statement provides guidance on how to account for
   all insurance and reinsurance contracts that do not transfer insurance
   risk, except for long-duration life and health insurance contracts. The
   adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's financial position
   or results of operations.


4) FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARD

   In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
   Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
   Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities which
   replaces FAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Services of Financial
   Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This standard revises the
   methods for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial
   assets and collateral as outlined in FAS No. 125, and requires certain
   additional disclosures. For transfers and servicing of financial assets and
   extinguishments of liabilities, this standard will be effective for the
   Company's June 30, 2001 financial statements. However, for disclosures
   regarding securitizations and collateral, as well as recognition and
   reclassification of collateral, this standard will be effective for the
   Company's December 31, 2000 financial statements. The Company is currently
   evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, however, it does
   not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its
   financial position or results of operations.

     (A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company)

               Condensed Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

4) FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARD (continued)

   In June 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
   Instruments and Hedging Activities. In June 2000, further guidance related
   to accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities was
   provided when the FASB issued FAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain
   Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment of
   FASB Statement No. 133. 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 values of those
   derivatives depends on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies
   for hedge accounting. As amended by FAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative
   Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
   Statement No. 133, these standards are effective for the Company's
   financial statements beginning January 1, 2001, with early adoption
   permitted. The impact of FAS No. 133, as amended, on the Company's
   financial statements will vary based on certain factors including future
   interpretive guidance from the FASB, the extent of the Company's hedging
   activities, the types of hedging instruments used and the effectiveness of
   such instruments. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of
   this standard and currently does not believe that this standard will have a
   material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
   operations.

5) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

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

       in net income were $(0.8) million and $(0.2) million for 2000 and 1999,
       respectively.

6) SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY

   At the time of the re-domestication of the Company to Florida, which
   occurred during the first quarter of 2000, the par value of the Company's
   common stock was changed from $2,000 per share to $100 per share to comply
   with Florida law. This revaluation caused the Company's common capital stock
   to decrease by $2.4 million and its paid-in capital to increase by the same
   amount and had no net effect on total shareholder's equity.

   On September 7, 2000, in order to comply with the requirements of certain
   other states where the Company is licensed, the Company made two cash
   transactions that had no net effect on total shareholder's equity. First,
   the Company made a dividend in the amount of $2.4 million to ALIAC that was
   approved by the Florida Department of Insurance. This was in the form of a
   return of capital and reduced paid-in capital. Then, the Company amended its
   articles of incorporation to authorize 35,000 shares and issue 24,225
   additional shares of capital stock at $100 par value to ALIAC, which
   purchased the additional shares at par value . Upon completion of the latter
   transaction, the Company's common capital stock was restored to $2.5
   million.


7) LITIGATION

   In recent years, several life insurance and annuity companies have been
   named as defendants in class action lawsuits relating to life insurance and
   annuity pricing and sales practices. A purported class action complaint (the
   "Shaner Complaint") was filed in the Circuit Court of Lauderdale County,
   Alabama on March 28, 2000 by Loretta Shaner against ALIAC, the parent of the
   Company, which serves as principal underwriter for the securities sold by
   the Company. This case was removed to the United States District Court for
   the Northern District of Alabama. The Shaner Complaint sought unspecified
   compensatory damages from ALIAC and unnamed affiliates of ALIAC. The Shaner
   Complaint claimed that ALIAC's sale of deferred annuity products for use as
   investments in tax-deferred contributory retirement plans (e.g., IRAs) was
   improper. On August 31, 2000, the Court entered an order and judgement
   dismissing the case. The case has been refiled as an individual action in
   the Alabama state court.

   The Company is not currently involved in any other material litigation.

                       INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' 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 as of September 30, 2000, and the related condensed
statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 and the related condensed statements of changes in
shareholder's equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September
30, 2000 and 1999. These condensed financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.

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 generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of 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 for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet of Aetna Insurance Company of America as of
December 31, 1999, and the related statements of income, changes in
shareholder's equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated March 22, 2000, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth
in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, is fairly
presented, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which
it has been derived.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following analysis presents a review of the Company for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999. This review should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other data presented
herein as well as in the "Management's Analysis of the Results of Operations"
section of the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

Recent Developments

On July 20, 2000, Aetna, the ultimate parent of the Company, announced that it
reached a definitive agreement to sell its Aetna Financial Services and Aetna
International businesses to ING in a transaction valued at approximately $7.7
billion. The Company is part of the Aetna Financial Services business and will
be included in the sale to ING. Under the terms of the agreement, in two
effectively simultaneous steps: (1) Aetna will spin off to its shareholders the
shares of a standalone health company that will be comprised primarily of its
Aetna U.S. Healthcare and Large Case Pensions businesses; and (2) Aetna, which
then will be comprised of Aetna Financial Services and Aetna International, will
merge with a newly formed subsidiary of ING.

Aetna's goal is to close the transaction, which is subject to receipt of
required shareholder, regulatory and other consents and approvals, as well as
other closing conditions, by year-end 2000. An Aetna shareholders' meeting has
been scheduled for November 30, 2000 to consider the transaction and certain
other matters. The full impact of the sale to ING on the Company's financial
position and results of operations cannot be predicted at this time.

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

The Company reported net income of $6.0 million and $4.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively. Excluding
net realized capital losses, results for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 increased $2.3 million compared to the corresponding period in 1999.

The increases in net income excluding net realized capital gains and losses for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 are due primarily to
increased fee income from higher levels of assets under management and lower
operating expenses as a result of the Company's decision to not actively market
its annuity products to individuals. Refer to "Outlook".

As of the end of the third quarter of 2000, assets under management were 6%
higher than those at the end of the corresponding period in 1999 primarily due
to appreciation in the stock market. Net deposits (i.e., deposits less
surrenders) decreased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2000 compared to the corresponding periods in 1999 primarily due to decreases in
deposits from new contracts resulting from the Company's decision to not
actively market its annuity products to individuals. Refer to "Outlook" below.

The decline in the effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2000 is primarily related to the deduction allowed for
dividends received and a favorable prior period adjustment.

OUTLOOK

As of the end of the third quarter of 2000, the Company's strategy is to
increase assets under management and improve profitability by focusing on new
distribution opportunities, primarily in Florida. As part of this strategy,
effective January 5, 2000, the Company changed its state of domicile from
Connecticut to Florida. The Company has begun to focus its marketing efforts
principally on expanding its group annuity sales with the offering, through
dedicated agents, of contracts to public, tax exempt and private employers
sponsoring retirement plans. The Company also plans to explore alternative
methods of distribution, such as direct marketing.

Although the Company has offered annuities marketed to individuals, principally
non-qualified annuities and qualified individual retirement annuities, it is not
actively marketing these products. The Company plans, however, to continue to
make them available through dedicated agents, although some sales may be made
through brokering agents and certain banks that have selling agreements with the
Company.

DEBT SECURITIES

At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, debt securities equal to $130.7
million (91% of the total debt securities) and $116.4 million (91% of the total
debt securities), respectively, supported experience-rated contracts.

Debt securities reflected net unrealized capital losses of $2.3 million and $4.5
million, respectively at September 30, 2000 and at December 31, 1999. At
September 30, 2000, all of the net unrealized capital losses related to the debt
securities that support experience-rated contracts.

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 September 30, 2000 and AA at December 31,
1999.

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

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In recent years, several life insurance and annuity companies have been named as
defendants in class action lawsuits relating to life insurance and annuity
pricing and sales practices. A purported class action complaint (the "Shaner
Complaint") was filed in the Circuit Court of Lauderdale County, Alabama on
March 28, 2000 by Loretta Shaner against ALIAC, the parent of the Company, which
serves as principal underwriter for the securities sold by the Company. This
case was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Alabama. The Shaner Complaint sought unspecified compensatory damages from
ALIAC and unnamed affiliates of ALIAC. The Shaner Complaint claimed that ALIAC's
sale of deferred annuity products for use as investments in tax-deferred
contributory retirement plans (e.g., IRAs) was improper. On August 31, 2000, the
Court entered an order and judgement dismissing the case. The case has been
refiled as an individual action in the Alabama state court.

The Company is not currently involved in any other material litigation.
