To the Board of Directors of National Life Insurance Company and the Contractholder of National Life Variable Annuity Account 1

***Opinion on the Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Touchstone Funds, Inc. – Large Cap Focused Fund Class A Subaccount of National Life Variable Annuity Account 1 as of December 31, 2025, and the related statement of operations and changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Touchstone Funds, Inc. – Large Cap Focused Fund Class A Subaccount (the "subaccount") of National Life Variable Annuity Account 1, and the results of their operations and the changes of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

***Basis for Opinion***

These financial statements are the responsibility of the National Life Insurance Company management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements of the subaccount of National Life Variable Annuity Account 1 based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the subaccount of National Life Variable Annuity Account 1 in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2025 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee mutual fund.

**NATIONAL VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT 1**

**(A Separate Account of National Life Insurance Company)**

**Touchstone Funds, Inc. - Large Cap Focused Fund Class A Subaccount**

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS**

National Variable Annuity Account 1 (the "Variable Account") operates as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and invests in shares of the Touchstone Large Cap Focused Fund Class A (the "Fund"). The Fund is an open-end, diversified investment management company. The Variable Account no longer offers new contracts for sale. Participants may continue to make deposits into existing contracts.

The Sub-account within the Variable Account consist of Contractholder Account Values and National Life Insurance Company's ("National Life") net investment in the Variable Account.

In 1971, National Life allocated $150,000, to establish the initial capital for the Variable Account. The amount was invested in shares of the Fund and designated as the initial annuity mortality fluctuation fund. National Life's net investment in the Variable Account represents seed money and has a balance of $1,166,259 as of December 31, 2025. This fund is adjusted by gains and losses on the mortality experience of annuitants and related increases or decreases in net assets.

**NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the Variable Account's financial statements.

**<u>Investment Valuation</u>**

The statement classifies all assets and liabilities carried or disclosed at fair value in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 – inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets on the reporting date. Assets in this category generally include actively traded registered mutual funds.

Level 2 – inputs are quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. As of December 31, 2025, none of the Variable Account investments are considered Level 2.

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable where there is little or no market activity and assumptions are based on internally derived information. Assets in this category generally include all other types of investments that do not meet the criteria of Level 1 or 2. As of December 31, 2025, none of the Variable Account investments are considered Level 3.

The Variable Account invests in registered mutual funds managed by unaffiliated third parties. The fair value of the registered mutual funds is based upon the reported net asset values as provided by the fund manager. The Fair Value Hierarchy level of the Variable Account net assets is based on observable market inputs of the registered mutual funds as published on recognized market exchanges. National Life's management reviews each mutual fund's liquidity in order to determine the level at which those investments should be reported.

Investments in the portfolios are valued at the closing net asset value per share as determined by each portfolio's administrator, and are classified under Level 1 of the three-tier hierarchy established in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 – *Fair Value Measurement*. During 2025, there were no transfers between levels. The change in the difference between cost and market value is reflected as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

**Touchstone Funds, Inc. - Large Cap Focused Fund Class A Subaccount**

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

**NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**

**<u>Investment Transactions</u>**

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO).

**<u>Contractholder Transactions</u>**

Purchase payments received from contractholders represent deposits under the Contracts reduced by applicable deductions, charges and state premium taxes. Contractholder withdrawals and annuity benefit distributions are payments to contractholders and beneficiaries made under the terms of the Contracts and amounts that contractholders have requested to be withdrawn and paid to them. Withdrawal charges, if applicable, are included in contractholders withdrawals and annuity benefit distributions.

**<u>Annuity Reserves</u>**

Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable contracts according to the Progressive Annuity Mortality Table. The assumed interest rate is 3 1/2% unless the annuitant elects otherwise, in which case the rate may vary from 3% to 5%, as regulated by the laws of the respective states.

The mortality risk is fully borne by National Life and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Variable Account by National Life to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to National Life's General Account.

**<u>Federal Income Taxes</u>**

The operations of the Variable Account are part of and taxed with, the total operations of National Life, under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Under the current provisions of the IRC, National Life does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings or realized capital gains attributable to the Variable Account. Based on this, no Federal income tax provision is required. National Life will review periodically the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law. The Variable Account did not record any changes in and had no recorded liabilities for uncertain tax benefits or related interest and penalties as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**<u>Subsequent Events</u>**

National Life has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2025 and through the financial statement issuance date. National Life has not evaluated subsequent events after the issuance date for presentation in these financial statements.

**Touchstone Funds, Inc. - Large Cap Focused Fund Class A Subaccount** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** 

**NOTE 3 – CHARGES AND EXPENSES**

Sales and administration charges are deducted daily from the contractholder accumulation value as a reduction in units. The rate and amount of deduction varies between single and periodic payment contracts and on the purchase payment amount (sometimes also called the premium or deposit). Deductions range between 1% - 8% of the purchase payment amount for single payment contracts and range between 7% - 12% of the purchase payment amount for periodic payment contracts. Mortality and expense risk charges are deducted at the end of each valuation period. The amount of the deduction is determined using a daily rate applied to the number of days in the period, equivalent to an annual rate of 0.75%.

Contract charges for single payment contracts are $75 and are deducted from the purchase payment. Contract charges for periodic payment contracts vary depending on the number of periodic payments per year, but in no event will exceed 1% of the contractholder's accumulation value at the time the annual charge is made. The charges for periodic payment contracts are deducted from the contractholder accumulation value as a reduction in units.

Transfer charges are collected as a deduction against the transfer amount. The charge amounts vary depending on the specifics of the transfer, but do not exceed $75.

Premium taxes are deducted either from the purchase payment or the contractholder accumulation value as a reduction in units. The amount collected will be based on the premium tax assessed against National Life by the appropriate taxing jurisdiction. Applicable tax rates generally do not exceed 2.5%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount
from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by average net assets. These ratios exclude
those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract values either through reductions in the unit
values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration
of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily
of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction
to unit values. Charges made directly to contract values through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been
excluded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of
the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through
the redemption of units.

There have been no fund substitutions in the years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025.

**NOTE 7 – DISTRIBUTION OF NET INCOME**

The Variable Account does not expect to declare dividends to contractholders from accumulated net income. The accumulated net income will be distributed to contractholders as withdrawals (in the form of annuity benefits or surrenders) in excess of the contractholders' net contributions to the Variable Account.

**NOTE 8 – DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS**

Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the IRC, a variable annuity contract, other than a contract issued in connection with certain types of employee benefit plans, will not be treated as a variable annuity contract for federal income tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified. The IRC provides that the adequately diversified requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury.

**Touchstone Funds, Inc. - Large Cap Focused Fund Class A Subaccount** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

**NOTE 8 – DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (continued)**

National Life believes that the Variable Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and it intends that the Variable Account will continue to meet such requirements.

**NOTE 9** **– SEGMENT REPORTING**

The Account's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is a group of executives and business leaders within product actuarial, finance, legal and compliance associated with the Account. The CODM assesses performance and makes decisions about resource allocation. Each subaccount of the Account constitutes a single reportable segment because its separate financial information is available, regularly evaluated and used by the CODM to measure the segment's performance, and to assess the allocation of resources across the segments. The measure of segment profit or loss is reported on the Statement of Operations as "Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations" and the measure of segment assets is reported as "Net Assets" on the Statements of Net Assets. Due to the nature of the business, the segment's significant expenses are changes for mortality and expense risk and charges for administration charges which are reported separately on the Statements of Operations and/or Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Account's Portfolio of Investments, Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.
