1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Travelers Fund ABD for Variable Annuities ("Fund ABD") is a separate account
of The Travelers Insurance Company ("The Travelers"), an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (formerly Travelers Group Inc.), and is available
for funding certain variable annuity contracts issued by The Travelers. Fund ABD
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a unit
investment trust.

Participant purchase payments applied to Fund ABD are invested in one or more
eligible funds in accordance with the selection made by the contract owner. As
of December 31, 1998, the eligible funds available under Fund ABD were: Capital
Appreciation Fund; Money Market Portfolio, (formerly Cash Income Trust);
Alliance Growth Portfolio, Putnam Diversified Income Portfolio and MFS Total
Return Portfolio of Travelers Series Fund Inc.; Travelers Quality Bond
Portfolio, Lazard International Stock Portfolio, MFS Emerging Growth Portfolio,
Federated Stock Portfolio, Federated High Yield Portfolio, Large Cap Portfolio,
Equity Income Portfolio, Disciplined Mid Cap Stock Portfolio (formerly Mid Cap
Disciplined Equity Fund), MFS Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, MFS Research Portfolio,
Strategic Stock Portfolio, Disciplined Small Cap Stock Portfolio and Convertible
Bond Portfolio of The Travelers Series Trust; Diversified Strategic Income
Portfolio, Total Return Portfolio and Appreciation Portfolio of Greenwich Street
Series Fund; REIT Series of Delaware Group Premium Fund, Inc.; Capital
Appreciation Portfolio and Small Cap Portfolio of Dreyfus Variable Investment
Fund; Emerging Markets Portfolio of Warburg Pincus Trust; Mid Cap Value
Portfolio, Value Portfolio, Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio and Global Equity
Portfolio of Morgan Stanley Universal Funds, Inc.; Real Estate Securities
Portfolio, Enterprise Portfolio, Government Portfolio, Growth and Income
Portfolio, Emerging Growth Portfolio, Domestic Income Portfolio and Money Market
Portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust (formerly Van Kampen American
Capital Life Investment Trust); Salomon Brothers Variable Investors Fund,
Salomon Brothers Variable Capital Fund, Salomon Brothers Variable High Yield
Bond Fund and Salomon Brothers Variable Strategic Bond Fund of Salomon Brothers
Variable Series Funds Inc. All of the funds are Massachusetts business trusts,
except Travelers Series Fund Inc., Delaware Group Premium Fund, Inc., Salomon
Brothers Variable Series Funds, Inc., and Morgan Stanley Universal Funds, Inc.
which are incorporated under Maryland law and Van Kampen Life Investment Trust
which is a Delaware business trust. Capital Appreciation Fund, Money Market
Portfolio, Travelers Series Fund Inc., Travelers Series Trust, Greenwich Street
Series Fund, and Salomon Brothers Variable Series Funds, Inc. are managed by
affiliates of The Travelers. Not all funds may be available in all states or to
all contract owners.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by Fund ABD in the preparation of its financial statements.

SECURITY VALUATION. Investments are valued daily at the net asset values per
share of the underlying funds.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade
date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The operations of Fund ABD form a part of the total
operations of The Travelers and are not taxed separately. The Travelers is taxed
as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). Under existing federal income tax law, no taxes are payable on the
investment income of Fund ABD. Fund ABD is not taxed as a "regulated investment
company" under Subchapter M of the Code.

OTHER. 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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  INVESTMENTS

The aggregate costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments were
$169,173,612 and $16,924,277, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
1998. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an
identified cost basis. The cost of investments in eligible funds was
$162,485,608 at December 31, 1998. Gross unrealized appreciation for all
investments at December 31, 1998 was $13,098,847. Gross unrealized depreciation
for all investments at December 31, 1998 was $657,134.

3.  CONTRACT CHARGES

Insurance charges are paid for the mortality and expense risks assumed by The
Travelers. These charges are equivalent to 1.25% of the average net assets of
Fund ABD on an annual basis.

Administrative fees are paid for administrative expenses incurred by The
Travelers. This charge is equivalent to 0.15% of the average net assets of Fund
ABD on an annual basis.

For contracts in the accumulation phase with a contract value less than $40,000,
an annual charge of $30 (prorated for partial periods) is deducted from
participant account balances and paid to The Travelers to cover contract
administrative charges.

No sales charge is deducted from participant purchase payments when they are
received. However, The Travelers generally assesses a contingent deferred sales
charge of up to 6% if a participant's purchase payment is surrendered within
seven years of its payment date. Contract surrender payments include $19,868 of
contingent deferred sales charges for the year ended December 31, 1998. No
deductions were taken for the period April 28, 1997 (date operations commenced)
to December 31, 1997.

To the Owners of Variable Annuity Contracts of The Travelers Fund ABD for
Variable Annuities:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The
Travelers Fund ABD for Variable Annuities as of December 31, 1998, and the
related statement of operations for the year then ended and the statements of
changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the period April
28, 1997 (date operations commenced) to December 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these 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 audits 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. Our procedures included
confirmation of shares owned as of December 31, 1998, by correspondence with the
underlying funds. 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Travelers Fund ABD for
Variable Annuities as of December 31, 1998, the results of its operations for
the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and the period April 28, 1997 (date operations commenced) to
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
