This Prospectus describes a group flexible premium variable life insurance
policy (the "Group Policies", and each individually a "Group Policy") and
certificates of insurance (the "Certificates," and each individually a
"Certificate") offered by ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company
("Hartford"). (On January 1, 1998, Hartford's name will change to Hartford Life
and Annuity Insurance Company). The Certificates are designed to provide
lifetime insurance coverage to the Insured(s) named in the Certificates, and
maximum flexibility in connection with premium payments and Death Benefits,
together with an opportunity to participate in the investment experience of ICMG
Registered Variable Life Separate Account One. For a given amount of Death
Benefit chosen, the Owner has considerable flexibility in selecting the timing
and amount of premium payments. In addition to the Initial Premium payment,
additional premium payments are also allowed.
 
Group Policies may be issued to a Participating Employer or to a trust that is
adopted by a Participating Employer. Eligible employees of Participating
Employers may own Certificates issued under their respective Participating
Employer's Group Policy. Unless the Certificate provides otherwise, the persons
covered under the Group Policy (the "Owners") possess all rights and interests
under the Group Policy. The Owners are provided with the Certificates, which
describe each Owner's rights, benefits, and options under the Group Policy. The
Owner of a Certificate is the Insured unless another owner has been named in the
enrollment form for the Certificate.
 
Sales agents can provide prospective purchasers with individualized sales
illustrations which reflect all the fees and charges associated with the
Certificate options selected.
 
The Certificates provide for a Death Benefit, pursuant to which Death Proceeds
are payable at the Insured's death. You may select one of two death benefit
options. Death Benefit option A is an amount equal to the larger of (1) the Face
Amount and (2) the Variable Insurance Amount. Death Benefit option B is an
amount equal to the larger of (1) the Face Amount plus the Cash Value and (2)
the Variable Insurance Amount. The Death Proceeds payable to the Beneficiary
equal the Death Benefit less any Debt outstanding under the Certificate plus any
rider benefits payable.
 
The Investment Value of a Certificate will also vary up or down to reflect the
investment experience of the Investment Divisions to which Net Premiums have
been allocated. The Owner bears the investment risk for all amounts so
allocated.
 
Depending upon the state of issuance of the Certificate and the applicable
provisions of the Certificate, Your initial Net Premium will, when Your
Certificate is issued, either be (i) invested in the HVA Money Market Investment
Division during the right to examine period or (ii) invested immediately in Your
chosen Investment Divisions, upon Our receipt thereof. If Your initial Net
Premium is invested immediately in Your chosen Investment Divisions, You will
bear full investment risk for any amounts allocated to the Investment Divisions
during the 10 day right to examine period. Please note that this automatic
immediate investment feature only applies if Your Certificate so specifies.
Please check with Your agent to determine the status of Your Certificate. You
must fill out and send Us the appropriate form or comply with other designated
Hartford procedures if You would like to change how subsequent Net Premiums are
allocated.
 
The Portfolios underlying the Investment Divisions presently are: the Hartford
Bond Portfolio, Hartford Capital Appreciation Portfolio and HVA Money Market
Portfolio of the Hartford Mutual Funds; the Neuberger & Berman Advisers
Management Trust Partners Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio and Limited Maturity
Bond Portfolio; the VIP Equity Income Portfolio, the VIP High Income Portfolio

                                    SUMMARY
 
- --------------------------------THE GROUP POLICY
 
    The flexible premium variable life insurance Group Policies, and the
Certificates, offered by this Prospectus are funded by ICMG Registered Variable
Life Separate Account One (the "Separate Account"), a separate account
established by Hartford pursuant to Connecticut insurance law and organized as a
unit investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act"). The Separate Account has 22 Investment Divisions dedicated to the
Group Policies, each of which invests solely in a corresponding Portfolio of the
Funds.
 
    Depending upon the state of issuance of Your Certificate and the applicable
provisions of Your Certificate, Your initial Net Premium will, when Your
Certificate is issued, either be (1) invested in the HVA Money Market Investment
Division during the right to examine period or (2) invested immediately in Your
chosen Investment Divisions, upon Our receipt thereof. IF YOUR INITIAL NET
PREMIUM IS INVESTED IMMEDIATELY IN YOUR CHOSEN INVESTMENT DIVISIONS, YOU WILL
BEAR FULL INVESTMENT RISK FOR ANY AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE INVESTMENT DIVISIONS
DURING THE RIGHT TO EXAMINE PERIOD. Please note that this automatic immediate
investment feature only applies if Your Certificate so specifies. Please checkF
with Your agent to determine the status of Your Certificate. You must fill out
and send Us the appropriate form In Writing or comply with other designated
Hartford procedures if You would like to change how subsequent Net Premiums are
allocated. See "Allocation of Premium Payments," page 13.
 
    Pursuant to the Certificates, each selected Investment Division is credited
with Accumulation Units and each selected Investment Division's assets are
invested in the applicable underlying Portfolio. Subject to certain
restrictions, an Owner may transfer amounts among the available Investment
Divisions. See "Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and Provisions --
Transfers Between the Investment Divisions," page 15.
 
    The Group Policies are first and foremost life insurance policies and the
Certificates evidencing an Owner's interest in the Group Policies provide for
death benefits, cash values, and other features traditionally associated with
life insurance. The Group Policies are called "flexible premium" because, once
the desired level and pattern of Death Benefits have been determined, a
purchaser has considerable flexibility in the selection of the timing and amount
of premium to be paid. The Group Policies are called "variable" because, unlike
the fixed benefits of an ordinary whole life insurance policy, the Investment
Value under a Certificate will, and the Death Benefit may, increase or decrease
depending on the investment experience of the Investment Divisions to which the
Net premiums have been allocated. See "Detailed Description of Certificate
Benefits and Provisions -- Death Benefit," page 17.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 DEATH BENEFIT
 
    The Certificates provide for two Death Benefit options. Under Death Benefit
option A, the Death Benefit is an amount equal to the larger of (1) the Face
Amount and (2) the Variable Insurance Amount. Under Death Benefit option B, the
Death Benefit is an amount equal to the larger of (1) the Face Amount plus the
Cash Value and (2) the Variable Insurance Amount. At the death of the Insured,
We will pay the Death Proceeds to the Beneficiary. The Death Proceeds equal the
Death Benefit less outstanding Debt plus any rider benefits payable under the
Certificate. See "Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and Provisions --
Death Benefit," page 17.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                    PREMIUM
 
    You have considerable flexibility as to when and in what amounts You pay
premiums.
 
    No premium payment will be accepted which causes the Certificate to not meet
the tax qualification guidelines for life insurance under the Code.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                GENERAL ACCOUNT
 
    Amounts allocated to the Loan Account to secure a Loan become part of the
General Account assets of Hartford. Hartford invests the assets of the General
Account in accordance with applicable law governing the investments of insurance
company general accounts. See "Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and
Provisions -- Loans" for a discussion of Loan repayments, page 16.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                            DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUM
 
    Prior to the allocation of premiums to the selected Investment Divisions, a
deduction as a percentage of premium is made for the front-end sales load, state
premium taxes, and the Deferred Acquisition Cost ("DAC") tax charge. The amount
of each premium allocated among the Investment Divisions is Your Net Premium.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                              FRONT-END SALES LOAD
 
    When We receive a Premium Payment, We deduct a front-end sales load. The
current front-end sales load is 6.75% of any premium paid for Coverage Years 1
through 7 and 4.75% of any premium paid in Coverage Years 8 and later. The
maximum front-end sales load is 9% of any premium paid for Coverage Years 1
through 7 and 7% of any premium paid in Coverage Years 8 and later.
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                7
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    Front-end sales loads which cover expenses relating to the sale and
distribution of the Certificates may be reduced for certain sales of the
Certificates under circumstances which may result in savings of such sales and
distribution expenses. For more information concerning the front-end sales load,
see "Deductions from the Premium," page 19.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                        LIMITS ON FRONT-END SALES LOADS
 
    Certain insurance laws and regulations limit the front-end sales loads which
can be assessed against the Certificates. The front-end sales loads assessed in
the Certificates comply with these limitations.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           PREMIUM RELATED TAX CHARGE
 
    We deduct a percentage of each premium to cover taxes assessed against
Hartford by various states and jurisdictions that are attributable to premiums.
The percentage actually deducted will vary by locale depending on the tax rates
in effect there. The range is generally between 0% and 4%.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 DAC TAX CHARGE
 
    The Company deducts 1.25% of each premium to cover a federal premium tax
assessed against the Company. This charge is reasonable in relation to the
Company's federal income tax burden, under Internal Revenue Code Section 848,
resulting from the receipt of premiums. We will adjust the charge based on
changes in the applicable tax law.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES FROM
                              THE INVESTMENT VALUE
 
   
    As with many other types of insurance policies, each Certificate will have
an Investment Value. The Investment Value of the Certificate will increase or
decrease to reflect the investment experience of the chosen Investment
Divisions, deductions for the Monthly Deduction Amount and any amounts
transferred from the Investment Divisions into the Loan Account. There is no
minimum guaranteed Investment Value and the Owner bears the risk of the
investment in the underlying Fund Portfolios. See "Detailed Description of
Certificate Benefits and Provisions -- Deductions and Charges from the
Investment Value," page 19.
    
 
    We will subtract amounts from Your Investment Value to provide for the
Monthly Deduction Amount. These will be taken from the Charge Deduction
Division, as specified in the Certificate Specifications, or if no Charge
Deduction Division is selected or if there is insufficient Investment Value in
the Charge Deduction Division, on a Pro Rata Basis from Your chosen Investment
Divisions on each Processing Date.
 
    The Monthly Deduction Amount equals:
 
(a) the administrative expense charge; plus
 
(b) the charges for cost of insurance and additional benefits provided by rider,
    if any.
 
    Hartford may also set up a provision for income taxes imposed on the assets
of the Separate Account. See "Deductions and Charges From the Investment Value,"
page 19 and "Federal Tax Considerations," page 24.
 
    A charge is made for mortality and expense risks assumed by Hartford.
Hartford currently deducts a daily charge for Coverage Years 1 through 10 at an
effective annual rate of .65% of the value of each Investment Division's assets
and for Coverage Years 11 and later at an effective annual rate of .50% of each
Investment Division's assets. In no event will the charge exceed .65% of an
Investment Division's assets on an annual basis.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           CHARGES AGAINST THE FUNDS
 
    The Separate Account purchases Fund shares at net asset value. The net asset
value of the portfolio shares reflects investment advisory fees and
administrative and other expenses deducted from the assets of the Funds.
Applicants should review the prospectuses for the Funds which accompany this
Prospectus for a description of the charges assessed against the assets of each
of the Funds.

(1) Neuberger & Berman Advisers Management Trust is divided into Portfolios,
    each of which invests all of its net investable assets in a corresponding
    series of Advisers Managers Trust. The figures reported under "Management
    Fees" include the aggregate of the administration fees paid by the Portfolio
    and the management fees paid by its corresponding series of Advisers
    Managers Trust. Similarly, "Other Expenses" includes all other expenses of
    the Portfolio and its corresponding series of Advisers Managers Trust.
 
(2) A portion of the brokerage commissions that certain funds pay was used to
    reduce fund expenses. In addition, certain funds have entered into
    arrangements with their custodian and transfer agent whereby interest earned
    on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce custodian and transfer agent
    expenses. Including these reductions, the total operating expenses presented
    in the table would have been .56% for Equity-Income Portfolio, .92% for
    Overseas Portfolio, and .73% for Asset Manager Portfolio.
 
(3) Pursuant to a voluntary agreement, fees and expenses were reimbursed to the
    extent expenses exceeded .75%, .90%, 1.15% and 1.20% of the average daily
    net assets of JPM Bond Portfolio, JPM Equity Portfolio, JPM Small Company
    Portfolio and JPM International Equity Portfolio, respectively. Without such
    reimbursement, total expenses would have been 2.18%, 2.13%, 2.69% and 3.18%
    for JPM Bond Portfolio, JPM Equity Portfolio, JPM Small Company Portfolio
    and JPM International Equity Portfolio, respectively.

- ---------------------------------------------------
                                     LOANS
 
    An Owner may obtain a cash Loan from Hartford. The Loan is secured by the
Owner's Certificate. The maximum Loan amount is equal to the sum of the Cash
Surrender Value plus outstanding Debt, multiplied by .90, less outstanding Debt.
See "Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and Provisions -- Loans," page
16.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                      THE RIGHT TO EXAMINE THE CERTIFICATE
 
    An applicant has a limited right to return his or her Certificate. Subject
to applicable state regulations, if the applicant returns the Certificate within
10 days after delivery of the Certificate Hartford will return to the applicant,
within seven days thereafter, either (i) the premium paid or (ii) the Cash Value
under the Certificate plus charges deducted. See "The Right to Examine the
Certificate," page 19.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
    The current Federal tax law generally excludes all Death Benefit payments
from the gross income of the Beneficiary under the Certificate. See "Federal Tax
Considerations," page 24.
 
    There are circumstances when the Certificate may become a Modified Endowment
Contract under federal tax law. If it does, Loans and other pre-death
distributions are includable in gross income on an income-first basis. A 10%
penalty tax may be imposed on income distributed before the insured attains age
59 1/2. Prospective purchasers and Owners are advised to consult a qualified tax
adviser before taking steps that may affect whether the Certificate becomes a
Modified Endowment Contract. Hartford has instituted procedures to monitor
whether a Certificate may become a modified endowment contract after issue. See
"Federal Tax Considerations -- Modified Endowment Contracts" for a discussion of
the "seven pay test," page 25.

                                  THE COMPANY
 
    ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("Hartford") is a stock life
insurance company engaged in the business of writing life insurance and
annuities, both individual and group, in all states of the United States and the
District of Columbia, except New York. On January 1, 1998, Hartford's name will
change to Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company. Hartford was originally
incorporated under the laws of Wisconsin on January 9, 1956, and was
subsequently redomiciled to Connecticut. Its offices are located in Simsbury,
Connecticut; however, its mailing address is P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, CT
06104-2999. Hartford is a subsidiary of Hartford Fire Insurance Company, one of
the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United States. Hartford is
majority owned by The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation.
 
    Hartford is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc., on the basis
of its financial soundness and operating performance. Hartford is rated AA by
Standard & Poor's and AA+ by Duff and Phelps on the basis of its claims paying
ability. These ratings do not apply to the investment performance of the
Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account. The ratings apply to Hartford's ability to
meet its insurance obligations, including those described in this Prospectus.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                              THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
    ICMG Registered Variable Life Separate Account One is a separate account
established by Hartford on October 9, 1995 under the insurance laws of the State
of Connecticut, pursuant to a resolution of Hartford's Board of Directors. The
Separate Account is organized as a unit investment trust and is registered with
the SEC under the 1940 Act. Such registration does not signify that the SEC
supervises the management or the investment practices or policies of the
Separate Account. The Separate Account meets the definition of a "separate
account" under the federal securities laws.
 
    Under Connecticut law, the assets of the Separate Account are held
exclusively for the benefit of Owners and persons entitled to payments under the
Group Policies and the Certificates and owners of any other policies which may
be available through the Separate Account. The assets of the Separate Account
are owned by the Company and the obligations under the Group Policies and the
Certificates are obligations of the Company. These assets are held separately
from the other assets of the Company and income, gains and losses incurred on
the assets in the Separate Account, whether or not realized, are credited to or
charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains or
losses of the Company (except to the extent that assets in the Separate Account
exceed the reserves and other liabilities of the Separate Account). Therefore,
the investment performance of the Separate Account is entirely independent of
the investment performance of the General Account assets or any other separate
account maintained by the Company.
 
   
    The Separate Account has 22 Investment Divisions dedicated to the Group
Policies, each of which invests solely in a corresponding Portfolio of the
Funds. Additional Investment Divisions may be established at the discretion of
the Company. The Separate Account may in the future include other divisions
which will not be available under the Group Policies.
    
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                   THE FUNDS
 
- --------------------------------    GENERAL
 
    The shares of the Portfolios are sold by the Funds to the Separate Account
and may be sold to other separate accounts of Hartford or its affiliates which
fund similar variable annuity or variable life insurance products. The assets of
the Separate Account attributable to the Group Policies are invested exclusively
in one of the Investment Divisions. An Owner may allocate premium payments among
the Investment Divisions. Owners should review the following brief descriptions
of the investment objectives of each of the Portfolios in connection with that
allocation.
 
    Each Fund continually issues an unlimited number of full and fractional
shares of beneficial interest in the relevant Portfolios. Such shares are
offered to separate accounts, including the Separate Account, established by
Hartford or one of its affiliated companies specifically to fund the Group
Policies and other policies issued by Hartford or its affiliates as permitted by
the 1940 Act.
 
    All investment income of and other distributions to each Investment Division
arising from the applicable Portfolio are reinvested in shares of that Portfolio
at net asset
value. Hartford will purchase Fund shares in connection with premium payments
allocated to the applicable Investment Division in accordance with Owners'
directions and will redeem Fund shares to meet obligations under the Group
Policies and the Certificates or make adjustments in reserves, if any. The Funds
are required to redeem Portfolio shares at net asset value and generally to make
payment within 7 days.
 
    Applicants should read the prospectuses for each of the Funds accompanying
this Prospectus in connection with the purchase of a Certificate. The investment
objectives of each of the Portfolios are as set forth in "The Portfolios," page
11.

                            DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF
                              CERTIFICATE BENEFITS
                                 AND PROVISIONS
 
- --------------------------------    GENERAL
 
    This Prospectus describes a flexible premium group variable life insurance
policy where the Owner has considerable flexibility in selecting the timing and
amount of premium payments.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE
 
    Certificates will only be offered to eligible employees when provided by the
Participating Employer. Individuals wishing to purchase a Certificate must
complete an enrollment form In Writing, which must be received by Our Customer
Service Center before a Certificate will be issued. A Certificate will not be
issued with a specified Face Amount of less than the minimum Face Amount.
Acceptance is subject to Hartford's underwriting rules then in effect. Hartford
reserves the right to reject an enrollment form for any reason permitted by law.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                    PREMIUMS
 
PREMIUM PAYMENT FLEXIBILITY
 
    A significant feature of the Certificate is that once the desired level and
pattern of Death Benefits have been determined, the Owner has considerable
flexibility in the selection of the timing and amount of premiums to be paid and
You can choose the level of premiums, within a range determined by Hartford,
based on the Face Amount of the Certificate, the Insured's sex (except where
unisex rates apply), Issue Age, and the Insured's risk classification.
 
    A minimum Initial Premium is due on the Coverage Date. The amount of the
minimum Initial Premium is the amount which, after the deductions for sales
load, state premium tax, and DAC tax charge, is sufficient (disregarding
investment performance) to pay 12 times the first Monthly Deduction. Thereafter,
additional premiums may be paid at any time, subject to the premium limitations
set forth by the Internal Revenue Code as indicated in the section entitled
"Premium Limitation," page 14. You have the right to pay additional premiums of
at least $500.00 at any time.
 
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS
 
    If the state of issue of Your Certificate requires that We return Your
Initial Premium, We will allocate the initial Net Premium submitted with Your
enrollment form to the HVA Money Market Investment Division, until the
expiration of the right to examine period. Upon the expiration of the right to
examine period, the initial Net Premium will, at a later date, be invested
according to Your initial allocation instructions (except that any accrued
interest will remain in the HVA Money Market Investment Division if it is
selected as an initial allocation option). This later date is the later of 10
days after We receive the premium and the date We receive the final requirement
to put the Certificate in force. The Certificates are credited with units
("Accumulation Units") in each selected Investment Division, the assets of which
are invested in the corresponding underlying Portfolio. An Owner may transfer
funds among the Investment Divisions subject to certain restrictions. See
"Detailed Description of Certificate Benefits and Provisions -- Transfers
Between the Investment Divisions," page 15. Any additional Net Premiums received
by Us prior to such date will be allocated to the HVA Money Market Investment
Division.
 
    Alternatively, if the state of issue of Your Certificate provides for Our
return of the Certificate's Cash Value to the Owner, We will allocate the
initial Net Premium immediately among Your chosen Investment Divisions. IN THAT
CASE
<PAGE>
14                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
YOU WILL BEAR FULL INVESTMENT RISK FOR ANY AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE INVESTMENT
DIVISIONS DURING THE RIGHT TO EXAMINE PERIOD. (Please note that this automatic
immediate investment feature only applies if Your Certificate so specifies.
Please check with Your agent to determine the status of Your Certificate.)
 
    Upon written request, You may change the premium allocation. Portions
allocated to the Investment Divisions must be whole percentages of 10% or more.
Subsequent Net Premiums will be allocated among Investment Divisions according
to Your most recent instructions, subject to the following. The Investment Value
may be allocated to no more than five Investment Divisions at any one time. If
We receive a premium and Your most recent allocation instructions would violate
this requirement, We will allocate the Net Premium among the Investment
Divisions according to Your previous premium allocation.
 
    The Owner will receive several different types of notification as to what
his or her current premium allocation is. The initial allocation chosen by the
Owner is shown in the Certificate. In addition, each transactional confirmation
received after a premium payment will show how that premium has been allocated.
In addition, each annual statement summarizes the current premium allocation in
effect for that Certificate.
 
ACCUMULATION UNITS
 
    Net Premiums allocated to the Investment Divisions are used to credit
Accumulation Units under the Certificate.
 
    The number of Accumulation Units in each Investment Division to be credited
under the Certificate (including the initial allocation to the HVA Money Market
Investment Division) will be determined first by multiplying the Net Premium by
the appropriate allocation percentage to determine the portion to be invested in
the Investment Division. Each portion to be invested in an Investment Division
is then divided by the Accumulation Unit Value of that particular Investment
Division next computed following receipt of the payment.
 
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
 
    The Accumulation Unit Value for each Investment Division will vary daily to
reflect the investment experience of the applicable Portfolio, as well as the
daily deduction for mortality and expense risks, and will be determined on each
Valuation Day by multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value of the particular
Investment Division on the preceding Valuation Day by a net investment factor
for that Investment Division for the Valuation Period then ended. The net
investment factor for each of the Investment Divisions is equal to the net asset
value per share of the corresponding Portfolio at the end of the Valuation
Period (plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
paid by that Portfolio in the Valuation Period then ended) divided by the net
asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio at the beginning of the
Valuation Period, less the daily deduction for the mortality and expense risks
assumed by Hartford.
 
    All valuations in connection with a Certificate, e.g., with respect to
determining Cash Value and Investment Value, or calculation of Death Benefits,
or with respect to determining the number of Accumulation Units to be credited
to a Certificate with each premium payment, other than the Initial Premium, will
be made on the date the request or payment is received by Hartford at the
Customer Service Center if such date is a Valuation Day; otherwise such
determination will be made on the next succeeding date which is a Valuation Day.
 
PREMIUM LIMITATION
 
    If premiums are received which would cause the Certificate to fail to meet
the definition of a life insurance policy in accordance with the Internal
Revenue Code, We will refund the excess premium payments. We will refund such
premium payments and interest thereon within 60 days after the end of a Coverage
Year.
 
    A premium payment that results in an increase in the Death Benefit greater
than the amount of the premium will be accepted only after We approve evidence
of insurability.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          VALUES UNDER THE CERTIFICATE
 
    As with traditional life insurance, each Certificate will have a Cash
Surrender Value. The Cash Surrender Value is equal to the Cash Value, less Debt,
less any charges accrued but not deducted. There is no minimum guaranteed Cash
Surrender Value. The Cash Value equals the value in the Investment Divisions
plus the Loan Account Value.
 
    Each Certificate will also have an Investment Value. The Investment Value of
a Certificate changes on a daily basis and will be computed on each Valuation
Day. The Investment Value will vary to reflect the investment experience of the
Investment Divisions, Monthly Deduction Amounts and any amounts transferred to
the Loan Account to secure a Loan.
 
    The Investment Value of a particular Certificate is related to the net asset
value of the Portfolios associated with the Investment Divisions to which Net
Premiums on the Certificate have been allocated. The total Investment Value in
the Investment Divisions on any Valuation Day is calculated by multiplying the
number of Accumulation Units in each Investment Division as of the Valuation Day
by the current Accumulation Unit Value of that Investment Division and then
summing the result for all the Investment Divisions. The Investment Value equals
the sum of the values of the assets in the Investment Divisions. See "Premiums
- -- Accumulation Unit Values," page 14.

                                  SURRENDER OF
                                THE CERTIFICATE
 
    At any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided the Certificate is in
effect and has a Cash Surrender Value, the Owner may choose, without the consent
of the Beneficiary (provided the designation of the Beneficiary is not
irrevocable) to surrender the Certificate and receive the full Cash Surrender
Value from Us. To surrender a Certificate, You must submit a request for
surrender In Writing. We will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the
Valuation Day We receive the request In Writing at Our Customer Service Center,
or the date requested by the Owner, whichever is later.
 
    The Cash Surrender Value, which is the net amount available upon surrender
of the Certificate, equals the Cash Value, less Debt, less any charges accrued
but not yet deducted. The Certificate will terminate on the date of receipt of
the written request, or the date the Owner requests the surrender to be
effective, whichever is later.
 
    The Cash Surrender Value may be paid in cash or allocated to any other
payment option agreed upon by Us.
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
 
   
    At any time before the Maturity Date, and subject to Hartford's rules then
in effect, up to twelve (12) partial withdrawals are allowed per Coverage Year;
however, only one (1) partial withdrawal is allowed between any successive
Processing Dates. The minimum partial withdrawal allowed is $500.00. The maximum
partial withdrawal is an amount equal to the sum of the Cash Surrender Value
plus outstanding Debt, multiplied by .90, less outstanding Debt. Hartford
currently imposes a maximum $25.00 fee for processing partial withdrawals. A
partial withdrawal will reduce the Cash Surrender Value, Cash Value and
Investment Value. Any partial withdrawal will have a permanent effect on the
Cash Surrender Value and may have a permanent effect on the Death Benefits
payable. If Death Benefit option A is in effect, the Face Amount is reduced by
the amount of the partial withdrawal. Unless specified otherwise, partial
withdrawals will be deducted on a Pro Rata Basis from the Investment Divisions.
Requests for partial withdrawals must be made In Writing to Us. The effective
date of a partial withdrawal will be the Valuation Day We receive the request In
Writing at Our Customer Service Center. A 10% penalty tax may be imposed on
income distributed before the insured attains age 59 1/2. See "Federal Tax
Considerations -- Modified Endowment Contracts," page 25.
    
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                             TRANSFERS BETWEEN THE
                              INVESTMENT DIVISIONS
 
AMOUNT AND FREQUENCY OF TRANSFERS
 
    Upon request and as long as the Certificate is in effect, You may transfer
amounts among the Investment Divisions up to twelve times per Coverage Year.
Transfer requests must be in writing on a form approved by Hartford or by
telephone in accordance with established procedures. The amounts which may be
transferred and the number of transfers will be limited by Our rules then in
effect. Currently, the minimum value of Accumulation Units that may be
transferred from one Investment Division to another is the lesser of (i) $500 or
(ii) the total value of the Accumulation Units in the Investment Division. The
value of the remaining Accumulation Units in the Investment Division must equal
at least $500. If, after an ordered transfer, the value of the remaining
Accumulation Units in an Investment Division would be less than $500, the entire
value will be transferred.
 
    Currently there are no restrictions on transfers other than those described
herein and there is no charge for permitted transfers between Investment
Divisions. Hartford reserves the right in the future to impose additional
restrictions on transfers, as a well as a charge for processing transfers.
 
TRANSFERS TO OR FROM INVESTMENT DIVISIONS
 
    In the event of a transfer from an Investment Division, the number of
Accumulation Units credited to the Investment Division from which the transfer
is made will be reduced. The reduction will be determined by dividing:
 
1.  the amount transferred by,
 
2.  the Accumulation Unit Value for that Investment Division on the Valuation
    Day We receive Your request for transfer In Writing.
 
    In the event of a transfer to an Investment Division, We will increase the
number of Accumulation Units credited thereto. The increase will equal:
 
1.  the amount transferred divided by,
 
2.  the Accumulation Unit Value for that Investment Division determined on the
    Valuation Day We receive Your request for transfer In Writing.
 
PROCEDURES FOR TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
 
    Owners may effect telephone transfers in two ways. All Owners may directly
contact a customer service representative. Owners may in the future also request
access to an electronic service known as a Voice Response Unit (VRU). The VRU
will permit the transfer of monies among the Investment Divisions and change of
the allocation of future payments. All Owners intending to conduct telephone
transfers through the VRU will be asked to complete a Telephone Authorization
Form.
<PAGE>
16                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    Hartford will undertake reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine. Before a customer service representative
accepts any request, the caller will be asked for his or her social security
number and address. All calls will also be recorded. A Personal Identification
Number (PIN) will be assigned to all Owners who request VRU access. The PIN is
selected by and known only to the Owner. Proper entry of the PIN is required
before any transactions will be allowed through the VRU. Furthermore, all
transactions performed over the VRU, as well as with a customer service
representative, will be confirmed by Hartford through a written letter.
Moreover, all VRU transactions will be assigned a unique confirmation number
which will become part of the Certificate's history. Hartford is not liable for
any loss, cost or expense for action on telephone instructions which are
believed to be genuine in accordance with these procedures.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                             VALUATION OF PAYMENTS
                                 AND TRANSFERS
 
    We value the Certificate on every Valuation Day.
 
    We will pay Death Proceeds, Cash Surrender Values, partial withdrawals, and
Loan amounts attributable to the Investment Divisions within seven (7) days
after We receive all the information needed to process the payment unless the
NYSE is closed for other than a regular holiday or weekend, trading is
restricted by the SEC or the SEC declares that an emergency exists.
 
    Hartford may defer payment of any amounts not attributable to the Investment
Divisions for up to six months from the date on which We receive the request.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                     LOANS
 
    As long as the Certificate is in effect, an Owner may obtain, without the
consent of the Beneficiary (provided the designation of Beneficiary is not
irrevocable), a cash Loan from Hartford. The maximum Loan amount is equal to the
sum of the Cash Surrender Value plus outstanding Debt, multiplied by .90, less
outstanding Debt.
 
    The amount of each Loan will be transferred on a Pro-Rata Basis from each of
the Investment Divisions (unless the Owner specifies otherwise) to the Loan
Account. The Loan Account is the mechanism used to ensure that any outstanding
Debt remains fully secured by the Investment Value.
 
LOAN INTEREST
 
    Interest will accrue daily on outstanding Debt at the Adjustable Loan
Interest Rate indicated in the Certificate. The difference between the value of
the Loan Account and any outstanding Debt will be transferred from the
Investment Divisions to the Loan Account on each Certificate Anniversary.
 
    The maximum Adjustable Loan Interest Rate We may charge for Loans is the
greater of 5% and the Published Monthly Average for the calendar month two
months prior to the date on which the Adjustable Loan Interest Rate is
determined. The Published Monthly Average means the "Moody's Corporate Bond
Yield Average -- Monthly Average Corporate" as published by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. or any successor to that service. If that monthly average is no
longer published, a substitute average will be used.
 
CREDITED INTEREST
 
    Amounts in the Loan Account for Coverage Years 1 through 10 will be credited
with interest at a rate equal to the Adjustable Loan Interest Rate then in
effect, minus 1%. Amounts in the Loan Account for Coverage Years 11 and later
will be credited with interest at a rate equal to the Adjustable Loan Interest
Rate then in effect, minus .20%.
 
LOAN REPAYMENTS
 
    You can repay any part of or the entire Loan at any time. The amount of the
Loan repayment will be allocated to Your chosen Investment Divisions on a Pro
Rata Basis, determined as of the date of the Loan repayment. Unless specified
otherwise, additional premium payments received by Hartford during the period
when a Loan is outstanding will be treated as Loan repayments.
 
TERMINATION DUE TO EXCESSIVE DEBT
 
    If total Debt outstanding equals or exceeds the Cash Surrender Value, the
Certificate will terminate 31 days after We have mailed notice to Your last
known address and that of any assignees of record. If sufficient Loan repayment
is not made by the end of this 31 day period, the Certificate will end without
value.
 
EFFECT OF LOANS ON INVESTMENT VALUE
 
    A Loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the
Investment Value because the investment results of each Investment Division will
apply only to the amount remaining in such Investment Divisions. The longer a
Loan is outstanding, the greater the effect is likely to be. The effect could be
favorable or unfavorable. If the Investment Divisions earn more than the annual
interest rate for funds held in the Loan Account, an Owner's Investment Value
will not increase as rapidly as it would have had no Loan been made. If the
Investment Divisions earn less than the Loan Account, the Owner's Investment
Value will be greater than it would have been had no Loan been made. Also, if
not repaid, the aggregate amount of outstanding Debt will reduce the Death
Proceeds and Cash Surrender Value otherwise payable.

- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 DEATH BENEFIT
 
    As long as the Certificate remains in force, the Certificate provides for
the payment of the Death Proceeds to the named Beneficiary when the Insured
under the Certificate dies. The Death Proceeds payable to the Beneficiary equal
the Death Benefit less any Debt outstanding under the Certificate plus any rider
benefits payable. The Death Benefit depends on the Death Benefit option You
select and is determined as of the date of the death of the Insured.
 
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
 
    There are two Death Benefit options: Death Benefit option A and Death
Benefit option B:
 
1.  Under the Death Benefit option A, the Death Benefit is the greater of (a)
    the Face Amount and (b) the Variable Insurance Amount.
 
2.  Under Death Benefit option B, the Death Benefit is the greater of (a) the
    Face Amount plus the Cash Value and (b) the Variable Insurance Amount.
 
    Regardless of which Death Benefit option You select, the maximum amount
payable under such option will be the Death Proceeds.
 
OPTION CHANGE
 
    While the Certificate is in force, You may change the Death Benefit option
selected under a Certificate by making a request In Writing during the lifetime
of the Insured. If the change is from Death Benefit option A to Death Benefit
option B, satisfactory evidence of insurability must be provided to Hartford.
The Face Amount after the change will be equal to the Face Amount before the
change, less the Cash Value on the effective date of the change. If the change
is from Death Benefit option B to Death Benefit option A, the Face Amount after
the change will be equal to the Face Amount before the change plus the Cash
Value on the effective date of change. Any change in the selection of a Death
Benefit option will become effective at the beginning of the Coverage month
following Hartford's approval of such change. We will notify You that the change
has been made.
 
    All or part of the Death Proceeds may be paid in cash or applied under one
of the payment options described below.
 
PAYMENT OPTIONS
 
    Death Proceeds under the Certificate may be paid in a lump sum or may be
applied to one of Hartford's payment options. The minimum amount that may be
placed under a payment option is $5,000 unless Hartford consents to a lesser
amount. Once payments under payment options 2, 3 or 4 commence, no surrender of
the Certificate may be made for the purpose of receiving a lump sum settlement
in lieu of the life insurance payments. The following options are available
under the Certificates:
 
    FIRST OPTION -- Interest Income
 
    Payments of interest at the rate We declare, but not less than 3% per year,
on the amount applied under this option.
 
    SECOND OPTION -- Income of Fixed Amount
 
    Equal payments of the amount chosen until the amount applied under this
option, with interest of not less than 3% per year, is exhausted. The final
payment will be for the balance remaining.
 
    THIRD OPTION -- Payments for a Fixed Period
 
    An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from
1 to 30 years.
 
    FOURTH OPTION -- Life Income
 
   LIFE ANNUITY -- an annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
   Annuitant and terminating with the last monthly payment due preceding the
   death of the Annuitant. Under this option, it is possible that only one
   monthly annuity payment would be made, if the Annuitant died before the
   second monthly annuity payment was due.
 
   LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN -- an annuity providing
   monthly income to the Annuitant for a fixed period of 120 months and for as
   long thereafter as the Annuitant shall live.
 
    The fourth payment option is based on the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality
Table set back one year and a net investment rate of 3% per annum. The amount of
each payment under this option will depend upon the age of the Annuitant at the
time the first payment is due. If any periodic payment due any payee is less
than $200, Hartford may make payments less often. The first, second and third
payment options are based on a net investment rate of 3% per annum. Hartford
may, however, from time to time, at Our discretion if mortality appears more
favorable and interest rates justify, apply other tables which will result in
higher monthly payments for each $1,000 applied under one or more of the four
payment options.
 
    Hartford will make any other arrangements for income payments as may be
agreed on.
 
LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING INCOME PAYMENTS
 
    In those states affected by the 1983 Supreme Court decision in Arizona
Governing Committee v. Norris, income payment options involving life income are
based on unisex actuarial tables. In addition, legislation has previously been
introduced in Congress which, had it been enacted, would have required the use
of tables that do not vary on the basis of sex for some or all annuities.
Currently, several states have enacted such laws.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
BENEFICIARY
 
    The Owner names the Beneficiary in the enrollment form for the Certificate.
The Owner may change the Beneficiary (unless irrevocably named) during the
Insured's lifetime by written request to Hartford. If no Beneficiary is living
when the Insured dies, the Death Proceeds will be paid to the Owner if living;
otherwise to the Owner's estate.
 
INCREASES AND DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT
 
    The minimum Face Amount of the Certificate is $50,000. At any time after
purchasing a Certificate, the Owner may request a change in the Face Amount by
making a request In Writing to Hartford and directing such request to Hartford's
Customer Service Center.
 
    All requests to increase the Face Amount must be applied for on a new
enrollment form. All requests will be subject to evidence of insurability
satisfactory to the Company and subject to Our rules then in effect. Any
increase approved by Us will be effective on the Processing Date following the
date We approve the request. The Monthly Deduction Amount on the first
Processing Date on or after the effective date of the increase will reflect a
charge for the increase.
 
    A decrease in the Face Amount will be effective on the first Processing Date
following the date We receive the request. Decreases must reduce the Face Amount
by at least $25,000, and the remaining Face Amount must not be less than
$50,000. Decreases will be applied:
 
(a) to the most recent increase; then
 
(b) successively to each prior increase, and then
 
(c) to the initial Face Amount.
 
    We reserve the right to limit the number of Face Amount increases or
decreases made under the Certificate to no more than one in any 12 month period.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                              BENEFITS AT MATURITY
 
    If the Insured is living on the Maturity Date, on surrender of the
Certificate to Hartford, Hartford will pay to the Owner the Cash Surrender Value
on the date the Certificate is surrendered. However, on the Maturity Date, the
Certificate will terminate and Hartford will have no further obligations under
the Certificate.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION
                              IN THE GROUP POLICY
 
    Participation in the Group Policy may be terminated by Hartford or the
Participating Employer. The party initiating the termination must provide notice
of such termination to each Owner of record, at his or her last known address,
at least 15 days prior to the date of termination. In the event of such
termination, no new enrollment forms for new Insureds will be accepted on or
after the date notice of discontinuance is received or sent by Hartford,
whichever is applicable, nor will any new Certificates be issued. If premium
payments are discontinued, Hartford will continue insurance Coverage under the
Certificate as long as the Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to cover the
charges due. This Continuation of Insurance will not continue the Coverage under
the Certificate beyond Attained Age 100, nor will it continue any optional
benefit rider beyond the Certificate's date of termination. If the Group Policy
is discontinued or amended to discontinue the eligible class to which an Insured
belongs (and if the Coverage on the Insured is not transferred to another
insurance carrier), any Certificate then in effect will remain in force under
the discontinued Group Policy, provided it is not canceled or surrendered by the
Owner, subject to Hartford's qualifications then in effect.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                         LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT WHILE
                         THE GROUP POLICY IS IN EFFECT
 
LAPSE AND GRACE PERIOD
 
    A Grace Period of 61 days will be allowed following the date We mail to the
Owner notice that the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the charges
due under the Certificate. Unless the Owner has given Hartford written notice of
termination in advance of the date of termination of the Certificate, insurance
will continue in force during the Grace Period. The Owner will be liable to
Hartford for all charges due under the Certificate then unpaid for the period
the Certificate remains in force.
 
    In the event that total Debt outstanding equals or exceeds the Cash
Surrender Value, the Certificate will terminate 31 days after We have mailed
notice to Your last known address and that of any assignees of record. If
sufficient Loan repayment is not made by the end of this 31 day period, the
Certificate will end without value.
 
REINSTATEMENT
 
    Prior to the death of the Insured, and unless (1) the Group Policy is
terminated (See "Termination of Participation in the Group Policy") or (2) the
Certificate has been surrendered for cash, the Certificate may be reinstated
prior to the Maturity Date, provided:
 
(a) you make Your request within three (3) years of the date of lapse; and
 
(b) satisfactory evidence of insurability is submitted.
 
    To reinstate Your Certificate, you must remit a premium payment large enough
to keep the coverage under the Certificate in force for at least 3 months
following the date of reinstatement. The Face Amount of the reinstated
Certificate cannot exceed the Face Amount at the time of lapse. The Investment
Value on the reinstatement date will reflect:
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                               19
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(a) The Investment Value at the time of termination; plus
 
(b) Net Premiums attributable to premiums paid at the time of reinstatement.
 
    Upon reinstatement, any Debt at the time of termination must be repaid or
carried over to the reinstated Certificate.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          ENROLLMENT FOR A CERTIFICATE
 
    Individuals wishing to purchase a Certificate must submit an enrollment form
to Hartford. Within limits, an applicant may choose the Initial Premium and the
initial Face Amount. A Certificate generally will be issued only on the lives of
Insureds Attained Age 79 and under who supply evidence of insurability
satisfactory to the Company. Acceptance is subject to Hartford's underwriting
rules and Hartford reserves the right to reject an enrollment form for any
reason. No change in the terms or conditions of a Certificate will be made
without the consent of the Owner.
 
    The Certificate will be effective on the Coverage Date only after Hartford
has received all outstanding delivery requirements and received the Initial
Premium. The Coverage Date is the date used to determine all future cyclical
transactions on the Certificate, e.g., Processing Date, Coverage months and
Coverage Years.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                              THE RIGHT TO EXAMINE
                                THE CERTIFICATE
 
    An Owner has a limited right to return a Certificate. Subject to applicable
state regulation, if the Certificate is returned, by mail or personal delivery
to Hartford or to the agent who sold the Certificate, to be canceled within 10
days after delivery of the Certificate to the Owner, Hartford will return either
(1) the total amount of premiums or (2) the Cash Value plus charges deducted
under the Certificate to the Owner within 7 days. If the state where Your
Certificate is issued requires that We return Your Initial Premium, We will
allocate Your initial Net Premium to the HVA Money Market Investment Division.
If the state of issue of Your Certificate provides for Our return of the
Certificate's Cash Value to the Owner, We will allocate the initial Net Premium
immediately among Your chosen Investment Divisions.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          DEDUCTIONS FROM THE PREMIUM
 
    Before allocating the Net Premium to the Investment Divisions, a deduction
as a percentage of premium is made for the front-end sales load, premium taxes
and the DAC tax charge. The amount of each premium allocated to the Investment
Divisions is Your Net Premium.
 
FRONT-END SALES LOAD
 
    The current front-end sales load is 6.75% of any premium paid for Coverage
Years 1 through 7 and 4.75% of any premium paid in Coverage Years 8 and later.
 
    Front-end sales loads cover expenses related to the sale and distribution of
the Certificates. The front-end sales load may be reduced for certain sales of
the Certificates under circumstances which result in a saving of such sales and
distribution expenses. To qualify for such a reduction, a plan must satisfy
certain criteria as to, for example, the expected number of Owners and the
anticipated Face Amount of all Certificates under the plan. Generally, the sales
contacts and effort and administrative costs per Certificate vary based on such
factors as the size of the plan, the purpose for which Certificates are
purchased and certain characteristics of the plan's members. The amount of
reduction and the criteria for qualification are related to the reduced sales
effort and administrative costs resulting from sales to qualifying plans.
Hartford may modify from time to time on a uniform basis both the amounts of
reductions and the criteria for qualification. Reductions in these charges will
not be unfairly discriminatory against any person, including the affected Owners
funded by the Separate Account.
 
PREMIUM RELATED TAX CHARGE
 
    We deduct a percentage of each premium to cover taxes assessed against
Hartford that are attributable to premiums. This percentage will vary by locale
depending on the tax rates in effect there. The range of premium taxes actually
deducted by Hartford currently ranges from 0% to 4%.
 
DAC TAX CHARGE
 
    The Company deducts 1.25% of each premium to cover a federal premium tax
assessed against the Company. This charge is reasonable in relation to the
Company's federal income tax burden, under Section 848 of the Code, resulting
from the receipt of premiums. We will adjust this charge based on changes in the
applicable tax law.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES FROM
                              THE INVESTMENT VALUE
 
MONTHLY DEDUCTION AMOUNTS
 
    On the Coverage Date and on each subsequent Processing Date, Hartford will
deduct an amount (the "Monthly Deduction Amount") from the Investment Value to
cover certain charges and expenses incurred in connection with a Certificate.
The Monthly Deduction Amount will vary from month to month. These will be taken
from the Charge Deduction Division, if designated in the enrollment form for the
Certificate or later elected.
 
    If a Charge Deduction Division has been designated but the Investment Value
in the Charge Deduction Division
<PAGE>
20                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
is less than that required to cover all charges due on such date:
 
(1) Hartford will apply the Investment Value of the Charge Deduction Division to
    the charges due and set the Investment Value in the Charge Deduction
    Division to zero; and
 
(1) any additional amount due will be allocated among the remaining Investment
    Divisions on a Pro Rata Basis.
 
    If no Charge Deduction Division has been designated or elected, any amounts
due will be allocated among the Owner's chosen Investment Divisions on a Pro
Rata Basis.
 
    The Monthly Deduction Amount equals:
 
(a) the administrative expense charge; plus
 
(b) the charges for cost of insurance, plus any charges for additional benefits
    provided by rider.
 
    (a)COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE
 
       The charge for the cost of insurance is equal to:
 
        (i) the cost of insurance rate per $1,000; multiplied by
 
        (ii) the Net Amount at Risk; divided by
 
       (iii) $1,000
 
      The Net Amount at Risk equals the Death Benefit less the Cash Value on
    that date.
 
      The cost of insurance charge is to cover Hartford's anticipated mortality
    costs. Hartford uses various underwriting procedures, including medical
    underwriting procedures, depending on the characteristics of the group to
    which the Group Policies are issued. The current cost of insurance rates for
    standard risks may be equal to or less than the 1980 Commissioners Standard
    Ordinary Mortality Table. Substandard risks will be charged a higher cost of
    insurance rate that will not exceed rates based on a multiple of the 1980
    Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table. The multiple will be based
    on the Insured's risk class. The use of simplified underwriting and
    guaranteed issue procedures may result in the cost of insurance charges
    being higher for some individuals than if medical underwriting procedures
    were used.
 
      Cost of insurance rates are based on the age, sex (except where unisex
    rates apply), and rate class of the Insured and group mortality
    characteristics and the particular characteristics (such as the rate class
    structure) under the Group Policy that are agreed to by Hartford and the
    Participating Employer. The actual monthly cost of insurance rates will be
    based on Hartford's expectations as to future experience. Hartford will
    determine the cost of insurance rate at the start of each Coverage Year. Any
    changes in the cost of insurance rate will be made uniformly for all
    Insureds in the same risk class.
 
      The rate class of an Insured affects the cost of insurance rate. Hartford
    and the Participating Employer will agree to the number of classes and
    characteristics of each class. The classes may vary by smokers and
    nonsmokers, active and retired status, and/or any other nondiscriminatory
    classes agreed to by the Participating Employer. Where smoker and non-smoker
    divisions are provided, an Insured who is in the nonsmoker division of a
    rate class will have a lower cost of insurance than an Insured in the smoker
    division of the same rate class, even if each Insured has an identical
    Certificate.
 
      Because the Cash Value and the Death Benefit Amount under a Certificate
    may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may also vary on
    each Processing Date.
 
    (b)RIDER CHARGE
 
      If the policy includes riders, a charge is deducted from the Investment
    Value on each Processing Date.
 
      The charge applicable to these riders is to compensate Hartford for
    anticipated cost of providing these benefits and are specified on the
    applicable rider.
 
      The Riders available are described on page 22 under "Supplemental
    Benefits" section.
 
    (c)MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE FEE AND OTHER EXPENSE CHARGES
 
      Hartford will assess a monthly administrative charge to compensate
    Hartford for administrative costs in connection with the Certificates. This
    charge will be $5 per Coverage month initially and is guaranteed never to
    exceed $10.00 per Coverage month. This charge covers the average expected
    cost for these expenses.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                       MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
 
    A charge is made for mortality and expense risks assumed by Hartford.
Hartford currently deducts a daily charge for Coverage Years 1 through 10 at an
effective annual rate of .65% of the value of each Investment Division's assets
and for Coverage Years 11 and later at an effective annual rate of .50% of an
Investment Division's assets. In no event will the charge exceed .65% of an
Investment Division's assets on an annual basis. See also, "Premiums --
Accumulation Unit Values," page 14.
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                               21
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is equal to:
 
    (i) the Mortality and Expense Risk Rate; multiplied by
 
    (ii) the portion of the Cash Value allocated to the Investment Divisions and
         the Loan Account.
 
    The mortality risk assumed is that the actual cost of insurance charges
specified in the Certificate will be insufficient to meet actual claims. The
expense risk assumed is that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the
Certificates will exceed the administrative charges set forth therein.
 
    If these charges are insufficient to cover actual costs and assumed risks,
the loss will fall on Hartford. Conversely, if the charge proves more than
sufficient, any excess will be added to Hartford's surplus.
 
TAXES
 
    Currently, no charge is made to the Separate Account for federal, state, and
local taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account. A change in the
applicable federal, state or local tax laws which impose tax on Hartford and/or
the Separate Account may result in a charge against the Certificates in the
future. Charges for other taxes, if any, attributable to the Separate Account
may also be made.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 OTHER MATTERS
 
- --------------------------------
                     ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR SUBSTITUTIONS
                                 OF INVESTMENTS
 
    Hartford reserves the right, subject to compliance with the law as then in
effect, to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the Separate
Account and the Investment Divisions which fund the Group Policies. If shares of
any of the Portfolios should no longer be available for investment, or if, in
the judgment of Hartford's management, further investment in shares of any
Portfolio should become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Group
Policies, Hartford may substitute shares of another Portfolio for shares already
purchased, or to be purchased in the future, under the Group Policies. No
substitution of securities will take place without notice to and consent of
Owners and without prior approval of the SEC to the extent required by the 1940
Act. Subject to Owner approval, if required, Hartford also reserves the right to
end the registration under the 1940 Act of the Separate Account or any other
separate accounts of which it is the depositor which may fund the Group
Policies.
 
    It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to
invest in the Funds simultaneously. Although neither Hartford nor the Funds
currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable life insurance
Owners or to variable annuity contract owners, the Board of Directors of the
Hartford Funds, the Board of Trustees for the Neuberger & Berman AMT, the Board
of Trustees for the Alger American Fund, the Board of Trustees for each of the
VIP Fund and the VIP Fund II, the Board of Trustees of JPM Series Trust and the
Board of Directors of Morgan Stanley Funds (collectively the "Boards") intend to
monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between such Owners
and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response thereto. If
the Boards were to conclude that separate funds should be established for
variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts, Hartford will
bear the attendant expenses.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 VOTING RIGHTS
 
    In accordance with its view of presently applicable law, Hartford will vote
the shares of the Funds at regular and special meetings of the shareholders of
the Funds in accordance with instructions from Owners (or the assignee of the
Certificates, as the case may be) having a voting interest in the Separate
Account. The number of shares held in the Separate Account which are
attributable to each Owner is determined by dividing the Owner's interest in
each Investment Division by the net asset value of the applicable shares of the
Funds. Hartford will vote shares for which no instructions have been given and
shares which are not attributable to Owners (i.e., shares owned by Hartford) in
the same proportion as it votes shares for which it has received instructions.
If the 1940 Act or any rule promulgated thereunder should be amended, however,
or if Hartford's present interpretation should change and, as a result, Hartford
determines it is permitted to vote the shares of the Funds in its own right, it
may elect to do so.
 
    The voting interests of the Owners (or the assignees) in the Funds will be
determined as follows: Owners may cast one vote for each full or fractional
Accumulation Unit owned under their respective Certificates and allocated to an
Investment Division the assets of which are invested in the particular Fund on
the record date for the shareholder meeting for that Fund. If, however, an Owner
has taken a Loan secured by the Certificate, amounts transferred from the
Investment Division(s) to the Loan Account(s) in connection with the Loan (see
"Certificate Benefits and Provisions -- Loans," page 16) will not be considered
in determining the voting interests of the Owner. Owners should review the
prospectuses for the Funds which accompany this Prospectus to determine matters
on which shareholders may vote.
 
    Hartford may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities,
disregard voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be
voted so as to cause a change in the sub-classification or investment objective
of one or more of the Funds or to approve or disapprove an
<PAGE>
22                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
investment advisory policy for the Funds. In addition, Hartford itself may
disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an Owner in the
investment policy or the investment adviser of the Funds if Hartford reasonably
disapproves of such changes. A change would be disapproved only if the proposed
change is contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities.
In the event Hartford does disregard voting instructions, a summary of that
action and the reasons for such action will be included in the next periodic
report to Owners.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                   OUR RIGHTS
 
    We reserve the right to take certain actions in connection with Our
operations and the operations of the Separate Account. These actions will be
taken in accordance with applicable laws (including obtaining any required
approval of the SEC). If necessary, We will seek approval by Owners.
 
    Specifically, We reserve the right to:
 
    - Add or remove any Investment Division;
 
    - Create new separate accounts;
 
    - Combine the Separate Account with one or more other separate accounts;
 
    - Operate the Separate Account as a management investment company under the
      1940 Act or in any other form permitted by law;
 
    - Deregister the Separate Account under the 1940 Act;
 
    - Manage the Separate Account under the direction of a committee or
      discharge such committee at any time;
 
    - Transfer the assets of the Separate Account to one or more other separate
      accounts; and
 
    - Restrict or eliminate any of the voting rights of Owners or other persons
      who have voting rights as to the Separate Account.
 
    Hartford also reserves the right to change the name of the Separate Account.
 
    We have reserved all rights to the name of ITT Hartford Life and Annuity
Insurance Company or any part of it. We may allow the Separate Account and other
entities to use Our name or part of it, but We may also withdraw this right.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                              STATEMENTS TO OWNERS
 
    We will send You a statement at least once each Coverage Year, showing:
 
(a) the current Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value and Face Amount;
 
(b) the premiums paid, Monthly Deduction Amounts and Loans since the last
    report;
 
(c) the amount of any outstanding Debt;
 
(d) notifications required by the provisions of the Certificate; and
 
(e) any other information required by the Insurance Department of the State
    where the Certificate was delivered.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           LIMIT ON RIGHT TO CONTEST
 
    Hartford may not contest the validity of the Certificate after it has been
in effect during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Issue Date. If
the Certificate is reinstated, the two-year period is measured from the date of
reinstatement. Any increase in the Face Amount as a result of a premium payment
is contestable for two years from its effective date. In addition, if the
Insured commits suicide in the two-year period, or such period as specified in
state law, the Death Benefit payable will be limited to the premiums paid less
any outstanding Debt and partial withdrawals.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                         MISSTATEMENT AS TO AGE OR SEX
 
    If the age or sex of the Insured is incorrectly stated, the amount of all
benefits payable will be appropriately adjusted, as specified in the
Certificate.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                   ASSIGNMENT
 
    The Certificate may be assigned as collateral for a loan or other
obligation. Hartford is not responsible for any payment made or action taken
before receipt of written notice of such assignment. Proof of interest must be
filed with any claim under a collateral assignment.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                   DIVIDENDS
 
    No dividends will be paid under the Certificates.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                               EXPERIENCE CREDITS
 
    The Certificates issued under a Group Policy may be eligible for experience
credits due to administrative savings. The amount of any experience credit may
be paid in cash or applied to and used to increase the Investment Value.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                             SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS
 
    The following supplemental benefit, which is subject to the restrictions and
limitations set forth therein, may be included in a Certificate.

mature), to the date of death of the Insured. Certain Death Benefit and premium
restrictions apply. See "Federal Tax Considerations -- Income Taxation of
Certificate Benefits," page 25.

                              DISTRIBUTION OF THE
                                 GROUP POLICIES
 
    Hartford intends to sell the Group Policies in all jurisdictions where it is
licensed to do business. The Group Policies will be sold by life insurance sales
representatives who represent Hartford and who are registered representatives of
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO"), or certain other registered
Broker-Dealers. Any sales representative or employee will have been qualified to
sell variable life insurance policies under applicable Federal and State laws.
Each Broker-Dealer is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and all are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. HESCO is the principal underwriter for the Group Policies. The maximum
sales commission payable to Hartford agents, independent registered insurance
brokers, and other registered Broker-Dealers is 6% of the premiums paid. In
addition, expense allowances may be paid. The sales representative may be
required to return all or a portion of the commissions paid if a Certificate
terminates prior to the second Certificate Anniversary.

                          SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE
                                 ACCOUNT ASSETS
 
    The assets of the Separate Account are held by Hartford. The assets of the
Separate Account are kept physically segregated and held separate and apart from
the General Account of Hartford. Hartford maintains records of all purchases and
redemptions of shares of the Fund. Additional protection for the assets of the
Separate Account is afforded by Hartford's blanket fidelity bond issued by Aetna
Casualty and Surety Company, in the aggregate amount of $50 million, covering
all of the officers and employees of Hartford.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
- --------------------------------    GENERAL
 
    SINCE THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY ACCORDING
TO THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE POLICY OWNER INVOLVED AND THE TYPE OF PLAN UNDER
WHICH THE POLICY IS PURCHASED, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE MAY BE NEEDED BY A PERSON,
TRUSTEE OR OTHER ENTITY CONTEMPLATING THE PURCHASE OF A POLICY DESCRIBED HEREIN.
 
    It should be understood that any detailed description of the Federal income
tax consequences regarding the purchase of these Policies cannot be made in this
Prospectus and that special tax rules may be applicable with respect to certain
purchase situations not discussed herein. In addition, no attempt is made here
to consider any applicable state or other tax laws. For detailed information, a
qualified tax adviser should always be consulted. This discussion of Federal tax
considerations is based upon Hartford understanding of current Federal income
tax laws as they are currently interpreted.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                            TAXATION OF THE COMPANY
                            AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
    The Separate Account is taxed as a part of Hartford which is taxed as a life
insurance company under Part 1 of Subchapter L of Chapter 1 of the Internal
Revenue Code
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                               25
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
("Code"). Accordingly, the Separate Account will not be taxed as a "regulated
investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income and
realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account (the underlying
Investment Divisions) are reinvested and are taken into account in determining
the value of the Accumulation Units (see "Certificate Benefits and Provisions --
Values under the Certificate", on page 14). As a result, such investment income
and realized capital gains are automatically applied to increase reserves under
the Certificate.
 
    Hartford does not expect to incur any Federal income tax on the earnings or
realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon these
expectations, no charge is currently being made to the Separate Account for
Federal income taxes. If Hartford incurs income taxes attributable to the
Separate Account or determines that such taxes will be incurred, it may assess a
charge for taxes against the Separate Account.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                    INCOME TAXATION OF CERTIFICATE BENEFITS
 
    For Federal income tax purposes, the Certificates should be treated as life
insurance policies under Section 7702 of the Code. The death benefit under a
life insurance policy is excluded from the gross income of the Beneficiary.
Also, a life insurance policy owner is not taxed on increments in the policy
value until the policy is partially or completely surrendered. Section 7702
limits the amount of premiums that may be invested in a policy that is treated
as life insurance. Hartford intends to monitor premium levels to assure
compliance with the Section 7702 standards.
 
    During the first fifteen policy years, an "income first" rule generally
applies to any distribution of cash that is required under Code Section 7702
because of a reduction in benefits under the Certificate.
 
    Hartford also believes that any Loan received under a Certificate will be
treated as Debt of the Owner, and that no part of any Loan under a Certificate
will constitute income to the Owner. A surrender or assignment of the
Certificate may have tax consequences depending upon the circumstances. Owners
should consult qualified tax advisers concerning the effect of such changes.
 
    Federal, state, and local estate tax, inheritance, and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of Certificate proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.
 
    The Maturity Date Extension Rider allows an Owner to extend the Maturity
Date to the date of the death of the Insured. Although Hartford believes that
the Certificate will continue to be treated as a life insurance contract for
federal income tax purposes after the scheduled Maturity Date, due to the lack
of specific guidance on this issue, this result is not certain. If the
Certificate is not treated as a life insurance contract for federal income tax
purposes after the Maturity Date, among other things, the Death Proceeds may be
taxable to the recipient. The Owner should consult a competent tax adviser
regarding the possible adverse tax consequences resulting from an extension of
the scheduled Maturity Date.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
 
    Code Section 7702A applies an additional test, the "seven-pay" test, to life
insurance contracts. A modified endowment contract is a life insurance policy
which satisfies the Section 7702 definition of life insurance but fails the
seven-pay test of Section 7702A. A policy fails the seven-pay test if the
accumulated amount paid into the Certificate at any time during the first seven
Coverage Years exceeds the sum of the net level premiums that would have been
paid up to that point if the Certificate provided for paid-up future benefits
after the payment of seven level annual premiums. Computational rules for the
seven-pay test are described in Section 7702A(c).
 
    A policy that is classified as a modified endowment contract is eligible for
certain aspects of the beneficial tax treatment accorded to life insurance. That
is, the death benefit is excluded from income and increments in value are not
subject to current taxation. However, withdrawals and loans from a modified
endowment policy are treated first as income, then as a recovery of basis.
Taxable withdrawals are subject to a 10% additional tax, with certain
exceptions. Generally, only distributions and loans made in the first year in
which a policy becomes a modified endowment policy, and in subsequent years, are
taxable. However, distributions and loans made in the two years prior to a
policy's failing the seven-pay test are deemed to be in anticipation of failure
and are subject to tax.
 
    If the Certificate satisfies the seven-pay test for seven years,
distributions and loans made thereafter will not be subject to the modified
endowment policy rules, unless the Certificate is changed materially. The
seven-pay test will be applied anew at any time the Certificate undergoes a
material change, which includes an increase in the Face Amount.
 
    All modified endowment policies that are issued within any calendar year to
the same policy owner by one company or its affiliates shall be treated as one
modified endowment policy for the purpose of determining the taxable portion of
any loan or distribution.
 
    Hartford has instituted procedures to monitor whether a Certificate may
become a modified endowment contract after issue.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
 
    Section 817 of the Code provides that a variable life insurance policy
(other than a pension plan policy) will not
<PAGE>
26                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
be treated as a life insurance policy for any period during which the
investments made by the separate account underlying the policy are not
adequately diversified in accordance with regulations prescribed by the
Treasury. If a policy is not treated as a life insurance policy, the policy
owner will be subject to income tax on the annual increases in cash value. The
Treasury has issued diversification regulations which, among other things,
generally require that no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the
segregated asset account (such as the Funds) underlying a variable contract is
represented by any one investment, no more than 70% is represented by any two
investments, no more than 80% is represented by any three investments, and no
more than 90% is represented by any four investments. In determining whether the
diversification standards are met, all securities of the same issuer, all
interests in the same real property project, and all interests in the same
commodity are each treated as a single investment. In addition, in the case of
government securities, each government agency or instrumentality shall be
treated as a separate issuer. If the diversification standards are not met,
non-pension policy owners will be subject to current tax on the increase in cash
value in the policy.
 
    A separate account must be in compliance with the diversification standards
on the last day of each calendar quarter or within 30 days after the quarter
ends. If an insurance company inadvertently fails to need the diversification
standards, the company may comply within a reasonable period and avoid the
taxation of policy income on an ongoing basis. However, either the company or
Policy Owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which the
diversification standards were not met. The amount required to be paid shall be
an amount based upon the tax that would have been owed by the policy owner if
they were treated as receiving the income on the policy for such period or
periods.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                         FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
 
    If any amounts are deemed to be current taxable income to the Owner, such
amounts will be subject to Federal income tax withholding and reporting,
pursuant to Section 3405 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                            OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
    Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift
tax consequences of Certificate ownership and distributions under federal, state
and local law.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
    There are no material legal proceedings pending to which the Separate
Account is a party.

                                   APPENDIX A
                 ILLUSTRATION OF DEATH BENEFITS, ACCOUNT VALUES
                           AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES
 
The following tables illustrate how the Death Benefits, Cash Values and Cash
Surrender Values of a Policy may change with the investment experience of the
Separate Account. The tables show how the Death Benefits, Cash Values and Cash
Surrender Values of a Certificate issued to an Insured of a given age would vary
over time if the investment return on the assets held in each Portfolio were a
uniform, gross annual rate of 0%, 6% and 12%. The Death Benefits, Cash Values
and Cash Surrender Values would be different from those shown if the gross
annual investment returns averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a period of years, but
fluctuated above and below those averages for individual Coverage Years. The
tables assume that no Loans are made and that no partial withdrawals have been
made. The tables are also based on the assumption that the Owner has not
requested an increase or decrease in the Face Amount and that no transfers have
been made in any Coverage Years.
 
    The tables on pages 28 to 39 illustrate a Certificate issued to a Male
Insured, Age 45 in the Medical Non-Smoker Class with an Initial Face Amount of
$250,000. The Death Benefits, Cash Values and Cash Surrender Values would be
lower if the Insured was a smoker or in a special class since the cost of
insurance charges would increase.
 
    The tables reflect the fact that the net return on the assets held in the
Investment Divisions is lower than the gross after-tax return of the Funds. This
is because these tables assume an investment management fee and other estimated
Fund expenses totaling 0.87%. The 0.87% figure is based on an average of the
current management fees and expenses of the available twenty-two Funds, taking
into account any applicable expense caps or reimbursement arrangements. Actual
fees and expenses of the Funds associated with a Certificate may be more or less
than 0.87%, will vary from year to year, and will depend on how the Cash Value
is allocated.
 
    As their headings indicate, the tables reflect the deductions of current
contractual charges and guaranteed contractual charges for a single gross
interest rate. These charges include the daily charge to the Separate Account
for assuming mortality and expense risks and the monthly administrative expense
and cost of insurance charges. All tables assume a charge of 2.00% for taxes
attributable to premiums, a 1.25% charge for the Federal DAC tax and reflect the
fact that no charges against the Separate Account are currently made for
federal, state or local taxes attributable to the Policy or Certificate.
 
    Each table also shows the amount to which the premiums would accumulate if
an amount equal to those premiums were invested to earn interest, after taxes,
at 5% compounded annually.
 
    Upon request, Hartford will furnish a comparable illustration based on a
proposed Certificate's specific circumstances.

    Net income increased $31, or 72%, and $51, or 59%, for the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, over prior year. This increase
is reflective of continued, solid growth in both the Annuity and Individual Life
Insurance segments. Net income in the Annuity segment increased due to higher
fee income on growing account values as well as strong new business sales. Net
income in the Individual Life Insurance segment increased due to cost of
insurance charges and other fee income on a growing block of life insurance
in-force, as well as favorable mortality results. Guaranteed Investment
Contracts reported no net income in the second quarter of 1997 consistent with
management's expectations that net income subsequent to 1996 will be immaterial.

    Revenues, which are primarily comprised of investment income and management
and maintenance fees, grew $76, or 33%, to $308 in the second quarter of 1997
and $122, or 26%, to $588 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This growth
resulted from an increase in the average account value, primarily driven by
individual variable annuities, of $14.2 billion, or 35%, to $55.2 billion as of
June 30, 1997 from $41.0 billion as of June 30, 1996. This is a result of
approximately $10 billion in new sales of individual annuities over the last
twelve months and market appreciation. Additionally, new individual annuity
sales were approximately $2.5 billion and $5.1 billion for the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, similar to sales of $2.7
billion and $4.9 billion, respectively, for the same periods of 1996. Growth in
the assets under management by this segment also resulted in increased expenses
related to other insurance expenses, amortization of deferred policy acquisition
costs and taxes. Expenses increased $64, or 33%, to $259 in the second quarter
of 1997 and $100, or 25%, to $496 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Net
income increased $12, or 32%, to $49 in the second quarter of 1997 and $22, or
31%, to $92 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

    Revenues increased $24, or 24%, to $125 in the second quarter of 1997 and
$20, or 9%, to $236 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. In the first quarter
of 1996, a block of business was assumed from Investors Equity which increased
revenues by $9. Excluding this transaction, year to date revenues increased $29,
or 14% over prior year. This growth was driven by increased cost of insurance
charges and other fee income earned on this growing block of business. Life
insurance in-force grew approximately $3.3 billion, or 6%, as of June 30, 1997
over the prior period, primarily due to sales of variable life products.
Expenses in this segment increased $22, or 24%, to $113 and $16, or 8%, in the
second quarter of 1997 and for the six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively,
over the same period last year, consistent with a growing block of business. As
a result, net income increased $2, or 20%, to $12 in the second quarter of 1997
and $4, or 21%, to $23 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

    Revenues declined $68, or 32%, to $142 in the second quarter of 1997 and
$432, or 57%, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 over the same period last
year. This decline is mainly related to the passage of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which effectively eliminated all
future sales of leveraged COLI. Expenses declined $71, or 35%, in the second
quarter of 1997 and $433, or 59%, for the six months ended June 30, 1997, over
the same period last year. Significant declines in benefits, claims and claim
adjustment expenses and policyholder dividends are the result of the decline of
the block of COLI business. As a result, net income increased $3, or 50%, in the
second quarter of 1997 and $1, or 7%, for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

    This segment had no net income for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997, as compared to losses of $15 and $30 for the same periods last year. These
results are consistent with management's expectations that net income (loss)
from Closed Book GRC in the years subsequent to 1996 will be immaterial based on
the Company's current projections for the performance of the assets and
liabilities associated with Closed Book GRC due to actions taken in the third
quarter of 1996.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
HARTFORD LIFE INC. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
    On February 10, 1997, HLI, an indirect parent of the Company, filed a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended,
relating to an Initial Public Offering ("IPO") of up to 20% of HLI's Class A
common stock. Pursuant to the IPO on May 22, 1997, HLI sold to the public 26
million shares at $28.25 per share and received net proceeds of $687. Of the
proceeds, $527 was used to retire debt related to HLI's promissory notes
outstanding and the line of credit discussed in the note below with the
remaining $160 contributed to HLI's insurance subsidiaries to be used for
working capital and other general corporate purposes.
 
    The 26 million shares sold from the IPO represent approximately 18.6% of the
equity ownership in HLI and approximately 4.4% of the combined voting power of
HLI's Class A and Class B Common Stock. The Hartford Financial Services Group,
Inc. ("The Hartford"), an indirect parent of HLI, owns all of the 114 million
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock of HLI, representing 81.4% of the
equity ownership in HLI and approximately 95.6% of the combined voting power of
HLI's Class A and Class B Common Stock. Holders of Class A Common Stock
generally have identical rights to the holders of Class B Common Stock except
that the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share
while holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to five votes per share on
all matters submitted to a vote of the HLI stockholders.
 
HARTFORD LIFE INC. DEBT OFFERING
 
    On February 7, 1997, HLI declared a dividend of $1,184 payable to its direct
parent, Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company ("HA&I"). As a result, HLI
borrowed $1,084 on February 18, 1997, pursuant to a $1,300 line of credit, with
interest payable at the two-month Eurodollar rate plus 15 basis points, which,
together with a promissory note in the amount of $100, was paid as a dividend to
HA&I on February 20, 1997. Of the $1,184 dividend, $893 constituted a repayment
of the portion of HLI's third party indebtedness internally allocated, for
financial reporting purposes, to HLI's insurance subsidiaries (the "Allocated
Advances"). In addition, on April 4, 1997, HLI declared and paid a dividend of
$25 to its parent in the form of a promissory note. Subsequently, $12 of this
note was forgiven in the form of a capital contribution from HA&I.
 
    On February 14, 1997, HLI filed a shelf registration statement for the
issuance and sale of up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of senior debt
securities, subordinated debt securities and preferred stock. On June 17, 1997,
HLI issued $650 of unsecured redeemable long-term debt in the form of notes and
debentures. Of this amount, $200 was in the form of 6.90% notes due June 15,
2004, $200 of 7.10% notes due June 15, 2007, and $250 of 7.65% debentures due
June 15, 2027. Interest on each of the notes and debentures is payable
semi-annually on June 15 and December 15, of each year, commencing December 15,
1997. HLI also issued $50 of short-term debt in the form of commercial paper. Of
the proceeds from this issuance, $670 was used to retire the remaining balance
on the $1,300 line of credit with the remainder being used for working capital
and other general corporate purposes. Subsequently, HLI reduced the capacity of
the line of credit from $1,300 to $250, which will be primarily used to support
the commercial paper program.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors of ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company:
 
We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of ITT Hartford
Life and Annuity Insurance Company (a Connecticut Corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company) (the Company) as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related statutory-basis statements of income, changes in
capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
statutory-basis financial statements 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.
 
The Company presents its financial statements in conformity with statutory
accounting practices as described in Note 1 of notes to statutory-basis
financial statements. When statutory-basis financial statements are presented
for purposes other than for filing with a regulatory agency, generally accepted
auditing standards require that an auditors' report on them state whether they
are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
accounting practices used by the Company vary from generally accepted accounting
principles as explained and quantified in Note 1. In our opinion, because the
differences in accounting practices as described in Note 1 are material, the
statutory-basis financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position
of the Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996.
 
However, in our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996
in conformity with statutory accounting practices as described in Note 1.
 
As discussed in Note 1 of notes to statutory financial statements, during 1994,
the Company changed its valuation method in determining aggregate reserves for
future benefits.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996
                 (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
 
 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
ORGANIZATION
 
    ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ILA" or "the Company"),
formerly known as ITT Life Insurance Corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Hartford Life Insurance Company ("HLIC"), which is an indirect subsidiary of
Hartford Life, Inc. ("Hartford Life"), which is ultimately owned by ITT Hartford
Group, Inc. ("The Hartford"), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT
Corporation ("ITT"). On February 10, 1997, The Hartford announced its plans to
sell up to 20% of Hartford Life to the public. On December 19, 1995, ITT
Corporation distributed all the outstanding shares of The Hartford to ITT
shareholders of record in an action known herein as the "Distribution". As a
result of the Distribution, The Hartford became an independent, publicly traded
company. During 1996, ILA re-domesticated from the State of Wisconsin to the
State of Connecticut.
 
    ILA offers a complete line of ordinary and universal life insurance,
individual annuities and certain supplemental accident and health benefit
coverages.
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    The accompanying ILA statutory-basis financial statements were prepared in
conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and the State of
Connecticut Department of Insurance.
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Statutory accounting practices and generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") differ in certain significant respects. These differences principally
involve:
 
    (1) treatment of policy acquisition costs (commissions, underwriting and
        selling expenses, premium taxes, etc.) which are charged to expense when
        incurred for statutory purposes rather than on a pro-rata basis over the
        expected life of the policy;
 
    (2) recognition of premium revenues, which for statutory purposes are
        generally recorded as collected or when due during the premium paying
        period of the contract and which for GAAP purposes, generally, for
        universal life policies and investment products, are only recorded for
        policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration and
        surrender charges assessed to policy account balances. Also, for GAAP
        purposes, premiums for traditional life insurance policies are
        recognized as revenues when they are due from policyholders and the
        retrospective deposit method is used in accounting for universal life
        and other types of contracts where the payment pattern is irregular or
        surrender charges are a significant source of profit. The prospective
        deposit method is used for GAAP purposes where investment margins are
        the primary source of profit;
 
    (3) development of liabilities for future policy benefits, which for
        statutory purposes predominantly use interest rate and mortality
        assumptions prescribed by the NAIC which may vary considerably from
        interest and mortality assumptions used for GAAP financial reporting;
 
    (4) providing for income taxes based on current taxable income (tax return)
        only for statutory purposes, rather than establishing additional assets
        or liabilities for deferred Federal income taxes to recognize the tax
        effect related to reporting revenues and expenses in different periods
        for financial reporting and tax return purposes;
 
    (5) excluding certain GAAP assets designated as non-admitted assets (e.g.,
        past due agents' balances and furniture and equipment) from the balance
        sheet for statutory purposes by directly charging surplus;
 
    (6) establishing accruals for post-retirement and post-employment health
        care benefits on an option basis, using a twenty year phase-in approach,
        whereas GAAP liabilities are required to be recorded;
 
    (7) establishing a formula reserve for realized and unrealized losses due to
        default and equity risk associated with certain invested assets (Asset
        Valuation Reserve); as well as the deferral and amortization of realized
        gains and losses, motivated by changes in interest rates during the
        period the asset is held, into income over the remaining life to
        maturity of the asset sold

        (Interest Maintenance Reserve); whereas on a GAAP basis, no such formula
        reserve is required and realized gains and losses are recognized in the
        period the asset is sold;
 
    (8) the reporting of reserves and benefits net of reinsurance ceded, where
        risk transfer has taken place; whereas on a GAAP basis, reserves are
        reported gross of reinsurance with reserve credits presented as
        recoverable assets;
 
    (9) the reporting of fixed maturities at amortized cost, whereas GAAP
        requires that fixed maturities be classified as "held-to-maturity",
        "available-for-sale" or "trading", based on the Company's intentions
        with respect to the ultimate disposition of the security and its ability
        to affect those intentions. The Company's fixed maturities were
        classified on a GAAP basis as "available-for- sale" and accordingly,
        those investments were reflected at fair value with the corresponding
        impact included as a component of Stockholder's Equity designated as
        "Net unrealized capital (loss)/ gain on investments, net of tax". For
        statutory reporting purposes, Net Unrealized Capital Losses (Gains) on
        Common Stocks represent unrealized losses (gains) on common stock
        reported at fair value; and
 
   (10) separate account liabilities are valued on the Commissioner's Annuity
        Reserve Valuation Method ("CARVM"), with the surplus generated recorded
        as a liability to the general account (and a contra liability on the
        balance sheet of the general account), whereas GAAP liabilities are
        valued at account value.
 
    As of and for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
significant differences between statutory and GAAP basis net income and capital
and surplus for the Company are summarized as follows:

AGGREGATE RESERVES AND LIABILITIES FOR PREMIUM AND OTHER DEPOSIT FUNDS
 
    Aggregate reserves for payment of future life, health and annuity benefits
were computed in accordance with actuarial standards. Reserves for life
insurance policies are generally based on the 1958 and 1980 Commissioner's
Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables and various valuation rates ranging from 2.5%
to 5%. Accumulation and on-benefit annuity reserves are based principally on
individual annuity tables at various rates ranging from 2.5% to 8.75% and using
CARVM. Accident and health reserves are established using a two year preliminary
term method and morbidity tables based on Company experience.
 
    ILA has established separate accounts to segregate the assets and
liabilities of certain annuity contracts that must be segregated from the
Company's general assets under the terms of the contracts. The assets consist
primarily of marketable securities reported at market value. Premiums, benefits
and expenses of these contracts are reported in the Statutory Basis Statements
of Income.
 
    During 1994, the Company changed the valuation method on aggregate reserves
for future benefits resulting in a $10.7 million increase in surplus. The new
valuation method is in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards.
 
INVESTMENTS
 
    Investments in bonds are carried at amortized cost. Bonds which are deemed
ineligible to be held at amortized cost by the NAIC Securities Valuation Office
("SVO")are carried at the appropriate SVO published value. When a permanent
reduction in the value of publicly traded securities occurs, the decrease is
reported as a realized loss and the carrying value is adjusted accordingly.
Common stocks are carried at market value with the difference from cost
reflected in surplus. Other invested assets are generally recorded at fair
value.

    Changes in net unrealized capital (losses)/gains on common stocks are
reported as (reductions)/additions of surplus. The Asset Valuation Reserve
("AVR") is designed to provide a standardized reserving process for realized and
unrealized losses due to default and equity risks associated with invested
assets. The reserve decreased by $568 in 1996 and increased by $5,588 and $1,356
in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Additionally, the Interest Maintenance Reserve
("IMR") captures net realized capital gains and losses, net of applicable income
taxes, resulting from changes in interest rates and amortizes these gains or
losses into income over the remaining life of the mortgage loan or bond sold.
Realized capital gains and losses, net of taxes not included in IMR are reported
in the Statutory Basis Statements of Income. Realized investment gains and
losses are determined on a specific identification basis. The amount of net
capital gains reclassified from the IMR was $1,413 and $39 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and the amount of net capital losses was $67 in 1994. The amount
of income amortized was $392, $256 and $114 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
 
OTHER LIABILITIES
 
    The amount reflected in other liabilities includes a receivable from the
separate accounts of $640 million and $333 million as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The balances are classified in accordance with NAIC
accounting practices.

 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    Transactions between the Company and its affiliates within The Hartford
relate principally to tax settlements, reinsurance, service fees, capital
contributions and payments of dividends.
 
    On June 30, 1995, the assets of Lyndon Insurance Company were contributed to
ILA. As a result, ILA received approximately $365 million in bonds and
short-term investments, common stocks and cash, $28 million in policy reserves,
$187 million of current tax liability, $26 million in IMR, $8 million in AVR
(offset by an aggregate write-in to surplus), and $4 million of other
liabilities. The assets in excess of liabilities of $112 million were recorded
as an increase to paid-in surplus.
 
    For additional information, see Note 5.
 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
    The Company and The Hartford have entered into a tax sharing agreement under
which each member in the consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return will make
payments between them such that, with respect to any period, the amount of taxes
to be paid by the Company, subject to certain adjustments, generally will be
determined as though the Company were to file separate federal, state and local
income tax returns.
 
    As long as The Hartford continues to beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, at least 80% of the combined voting power and 80% of the value of
the outstanding capital stock of Hartford Life, the Company will be included for
Federal income tax purposes in the consolidated group of which The Hartford is
the common parent. It is the current intention of The Hartford and its
subsidiaries to continue to file a single consolidated Federal income tax
return. The Company will continue to remit (receive from) The Hartford a current
income tax provision (benefit) computed in accordance with such tax sharing
agreement. Federal income taxes paid by the Company were $29,792, $215,921 and
$20,538 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The effective tax rate was 22%,
25% and 92% in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
<PAGE>

respectively. The following schedule provides a reconciliation of the tax
provision at the U.S. Federal Statutory rate to Federal income tax expense (in
millions).

 5. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS AND SHAREHOLDER
   DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
    The maximum amount of dividends which can be paid, without prior approval,
by State of Connecticut insurance companies to shareholders is subject to
restrictions relating to statutory surplus. Dividends are paid as determined by
the Board of Directors and are not cumulative. No dividends were paid in 1996 or
1994. ILA paid dividends of $10 million to its parent, HLIC, in 1995. As a
result of the Distribution by ITT, the assets of ITT Lyndon Insurance Company
(Lyndon) were contributed to ILA in June 1995. Substantially all the business
was removed from Lyndon prior to the contribution. The amount of assets which
exceeded liabilities at the contribution date ($112 million) was included in
paid-in surplus.
 6. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT
   AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
    The Company's employees are included in The Hartford's non-contributory
defined benefit pension plans. These plans provide pension benefits that are
based on years of service and the employee's compensation during the last ten
years of employment. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an
amount between the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the maximum amount that can be
deducted for Federal income tax purposes. Generally, pension costs are funded
through the purchase of HLIC's group pension contracts. Pension expense was
$358, $1,034, and $1,211 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Liabilities for
the plan are held by The Hartford.
 
    The Company also participates in The Hartford's Investment and Savings Plan,
which includes a deferred compensation option under IRC section 401(k) and an
ESOP allocation under IRC section 404(k). The liabilities for these plans are
included in the financial statements of The Hartford. The cost to ILA was not
material in 1996, 1995 and 1994.
 
    The Company's employees are included in The Hartford's contributory defined
health care and life insurance benefit plans. These plans provide health care
and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all employees
may become eligible for those benefits if they reach normal or early retirement
age while still working for the Company. The Company has prefunded a portion of
the health care and life insurance obligations through trust funds where such
prefunding can be accomplished on a tax effective basis. Amounts allocated by
The Hartford for post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits expense
(not including provisions for accrual of post-retirement benefit obligations)
are immaterial. The assumed rate of future increases in the per capita cost of
health care (the health care trend rate) was 9.3% for 1996, decreasing ratably
to 6% in the year 2001. Increasing the health care trend rates by one percent
per year would have an immaterial impact on the accumulated post-retirement
benefit obligation and the annual expense. The cost to ILA was not material in
1996, 1995 and 1994.
 
    Post-employment benefits are primarily comprised of obligations to provide
medical and life insurance to employees on long-term disability. Post-employment
benefit expense was not material in 1996, 1995 and 1994.
 7. REINSURANCE
 
    The Company cedes insurance to non-affiliated insurers in order to limit its
maximum loss. Such transfer does not relieve ILA of its primary liability. ILA
also assumes insurance from other insurers.
 
    Life insurance net retained premiums were comprised of the following:

    The Company ceded to a third party, on a modified coinsurance basis, 80% of
the variable annuity business written in 1994. The ceded business includes both
general and separate account liabilities. As a result of the agreement, in
December 1994, ILA transferred approximately $1,352 million in assets and
liabilities. The financial impact of the cession was an increase of
approximately $15 million to net income and surplus in 1994.
 
    In November 1994, the Company ceded, on a modified coinsurance basis, 30% of
the separate account variable annuity business distributed by Paine Webber to
Paine Webber Life Insurance Company ("PWLIC"). As a result of the agreement, ILA
transferred approximately $24 million in assets and liabilities to PWLIC. The
financial impact of
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
the cession was an increase of approximately $765 to net income and surplus in
1994.
 
    In October 1994, the agreement, effective December 1990, which required ILA
to coinsure 90% of all existing and new business, excluding variable annuity
business, written by the Company to HLIC, was terminated. As a result of the
termination, ILA received approximately $430 million in assets and liabilities
from HLIC. The impact of the transaction was a decrease of approximately $15
million to net income and surplus in 1994.
 
    In November 1993, ILA acquired, through an assumption reinsurance
transaction, substantially all of the individual fixed and variable annuity
business of Hartford Life and Accident, an affiliate. As a result of this
transaction, the assets and liabilities of the Company increased approximately
$1 billion, substantially all of which was transferred to the separate accounts
of the Company. The remaining assets and liabilities (approximately $41 million)
were transferred in October 1995. The impact of these transactions on net income
and surplus was not significant.
 8. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
    The Company maintains separate account assets and liabilities totaling $14.6
billion and $7.3 billion at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Separate
account assets are reported at fair value and separate account liabilities are
determined in accordance with CARVM, which approximates the market value less
applicable surrender charges. Separate account assets are segregated from other
investments, the policyholder assumes the investment risk, and the investment
income and gains and losses accrue directly to the policyholder. Separate
account management fees, net of minimum guarantees, were $144 million, $72
million and $42 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and are recorded
as a component of other revenues on the Statutory Basis Statements of Income.
 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
    As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had no material contingent
liabilities, nor had the Company committed any surplus funds for any contingent
liabilities or arrangements. The Company is involved in various legal actions
which have arisen in the normal course of its business. In the opinion of
management, the ultimate liability with respect to such lawsuits as well as
other contingencies is not considered to be material in relation to the results
of operations and financial position of the Company.
 
    Under insurance guaranty laws in most states, insurers doing business
therein can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses incurred
by insolvent companies. The amount of any future assessments on ILA under these
laws cannot be reasonably estimated. Most of the laws do provide, however, that
an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own
financial strength. Additionally, guaranty fund assessments are used to reduce
state premium taxes paid by the Company in certain states. ILA paid guaranty
fund assessments of $1,262, $1,684 and $583 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. ILA incurred guaranteed fund expense of $548, $0 and $0 in 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

        date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of investments
        sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend and capital
        gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains
        income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized as
        capital gains under tax regulations.
 
    b)  SECURITY VALUATION--The investment in shares of the funds are valued at
        the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate
        Fund as of June 30, 1997.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of, and
        are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as
        an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,
        no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of
        the Account.
 
    d) USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
        management's estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    a)  MORTALITY AND EXPENSE UNDERTAKINGS--The Company, as issuer of variable
        annuity contracts, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and,
        with respect to the Account, receives an annual fee of 0.65% of the
        Account's average daily net assets.
 
    b)  DEDUCTION OF OTHER FEES--In accordance with the terms of the contracts,
        the Company makes deductions for the cost of insurance, administrative
        fees, state premium taxes and other insurance charges. These charges are
        deducted through termination of units of interest from applicable
        contractholders' accounts.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
 ICMG REGISTERED VARIABLE LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT ONE AND TO THE
 OWNERS OF UNITS OF INTEREST THEREIN:
 
 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of ITT
 Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ICMG Registered Variable Life
 Separate Account One (the Account) as of December 31, 1996, and the related
 statements of operations and changes in net assets for the period from
 inception, November 14, 1996, to December 31, 1996. These financial statements
 are the responsibility of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to
 express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
 We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
 for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
 all material respects, the financial position of ITT Hartford Life and Annuity
 Insurance Company ICMG Registered Variable Life Separate Account One as of
 December 31, 1996, the results of its operations and the changes in its net
 assets for the period from inception, November 14, 1996, to December 31, 1996
 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 ICMG Registered Variable Life Separate Account One
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    ICMG Registered Variable Life Separate Account One (the Account) is a
    separate investment account within ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
    Company (the Company) and is registered with the Securities and Exchange
    Commission (SEC) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act
    of 1940, as amended. The Account consists of twelve portfolios. Both the
    Company and the Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the
    Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account
    invests deposits by variable life contractholders of the Company in various
    mutual funds (the Funds) as directed by the contractholders.
 
 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the
    Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles in the investment company industry:
 
    a)  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions are recorded on the trade
        date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of investments
        sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is
        accrued as of the ex-dividend date.
 
    b)  SECURITY VALUATION--The investment in shares of the funds are valued at
        the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate
        Fund as of December 31, 1996.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of, and
        are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as
        an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,
        no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of
        the Account.
 
    d) USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
        management's estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    a)  MORTALITY AND EXPENSE UNDERTAKINGS--The Company, as issuer of variable
        life insurance contracts, provides the mortality and expense
        undertakings and, with respect to the Account, receives an annual fee of
        0.65% of the Account's average daily net assets.
 
    b)  DEDUCTION OF OTHER FEES--In accordance with the terms of the contracts,
        the Company makes deductions for the cost of insurance, administrative
        fees, state premium taxes and other insurance charges. These charges are
        deducted through termination of units of interest from applicable
        contractholders' accounts.
