Footnotes:

1. These investment portfolios are offered in connection with Midland National's Variable products. They are not the same as retail mutual funds with similar names available for direct purchase by the general public.

2. This portfolio invests in small- and medium-sized companies at risk for greater volatility than other larger company stock-type portfolios.

3. VP refers to American Century Variable Portfolios. VIP refers to Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund. V.I. refers to AIM Variable Investment Funds. VIT refers to a MFS Variable Insurance Trust and PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust.

4. This portfolio is subject to special risks due to currency exchange rates, foreign taxation, economic and political environments, and differences in auditing and financial standards.

5. This portfolio is subject to the risks of investing in low-grade corporate bonds that have a higher default risk, less liquidity and greater sensitivity to changes in the economy than investment-grade securities.

6. This portfolio invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of companies that compose the S&P 500® Index in an attempt to mirror the investment performance of the index over the long term. It is unlikely a perfect correlation will be achieved. "Standard & Poor's®" and "S&P 500®" are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and have been licensed for use by Midland National Life Insurance Company. The product is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor's, and Standard & Poor's makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the product.

7. The money market 7-day current yield is computed as follows: The fund's average daily net income per share during the 7-day period is divided by the average daily price per share during the period. The result is multiplied by 365, with the resulting annualized yield carried to the nearest 1/100th of 1%.

8. This portfolio is subject to the risks of concentrating a portfolio in a specific sector of the market. An investment in this division is subject to value fluctuations directly related to the condition or performance of the companies that make up the market segment represented and offer less diversification than divisions that include investments in companies from across several market segments.

9. This portfolio invests in Hard Asset securities, which may be subject to greater risks and market fluctuations than other investments with more diversified portfolios. Some of these risks include: volatility of energy and basic materials prices; possible instability of the supply of various Hard Assets; the risks generally associated with extraction of natural resources; actions and changes in government which could affect the production and marketing of Hard Assets; and greater price fluctuation that may be experienced by Hard Asset securities than the underlying Hard Asset.

10. The yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the fund than the total return quotation.

11. Returns also reflect Surrender Charges for the first six years. Surrender Charges would apply only in the event of a contract surrender at the end of the applicable period. No Surrender Charge will be assessed upon: (a) payment of death benefits; or (b) exercise of the free look right.

12. The Average Annual Total Returns without Surrender Charges represent past performance based on a $1,000 hypothetical investment and reflect deduction of the following insurance charges: 1.25% for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and 0.15% for the Administration Fee. The returns also reflect an annual maintenance fee of $33. This maintenance fee is based on the average Accumulation Value on 12/31/2003 and is calculated at $33/$27,000.

13. Returns do not reflect applicable Surrender Charges. If reflected, the surrender charges would reduce the performance quoted.

14. As required by regulations, the Standardized Average Annual Returns with Surrender Charges represent past performance based on a $1,000 hypothetical investment and reflect deduction of the following insurance charges: 1.25% for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and 0.15% for the Administration Fee. The returns also reflect an annual maintenance fee of $35. This maintenance fee is based on the average Accumulation Value on 12/31/2003 and is calculated at $33/$27,000.

15. Investing in mid-sized companies involves greater risk not associated with investing in more established companies. The fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in securities on non-U.S. issuers that presents risks not associated with investing solely in the United States. Securities of Canadian issuers and American Depositary Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

16. Portfolio turnover is greater than most funds, which may affect performance.

17. Effective October 15, 2004, the name INVESCO VIF Financial Services Fund was changed to AIM VI Financial Services Fund; and the name INVESCO VIF Health Sciences Fund was changed to AIM VI Health Sciences Fund.

18. Class O Shares.

19. These funds invest in derivatives which are subject to a number of risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and management risk and funds investing in derivative instruments could lose more then the principal amount invested.
