Summary of Benefits and Risks

Benefits of Your Policy

Flexibility -- The policy is designed to be flexible to meet your specific life
insurance needs. You have the flexibility to choose death benefit options,
investment options, and premiums you pay.

Death Benefit -- While the policy is inforce and when the insured dies, we pay a
death benefit to your beneficiary. You select one of three death benefit
options:

 -  Level Option: The death benefit equals the current Face Amount.

 -  Return of Account Value Option: The death benefit is the current Face Amount
    plus the Account Value of your policy.

 -  Return of Premium Option: The death benefit is the current Face Amount plus
    the sum of premiums paid. However, it will be no more than the current Face
    Amount plus the Option C limit, which is currently $2.5 million.

The death benefit is reduced by any money you owe us, such as outstanding loans,
loan interest, or unpaid charges. You may change your death benefit option under
certain circumstances. You may increase or decrease the Face Amount on your
policy under certain circumstances.

Investment Choices -- You may invest in up to 9 different investment choices
within your policy, from a choice of 36 investment options and a Fixed Account.
You may transfer money among your investment choices, subject to restrictions.

Premium Payments -- You have the flexibility to choose how you pay premiums. You
can choose a planned premium when you purchase the policy. You may change your
planned premium, subject to certain limitations.

Right to Examine Your Policy -- You have a limited right to return the policy
for cancellation after purchase. See "Your Policy -- Contract Rights -- Right to
Examine a Policy."

Surrender -- You may surrender your policy at any time prior to the maturity
date for its Cash Surrender Value. (See "Risks of Your Policy," below).

Loans -- You may take a loan on the policy. The policy secures the loan.

Settlement Options -- You or your beneficiary may choose to receive the proceeds
of the policy over a period of time by using one of several settlement options.

Optional Coverage -- You may add other coverages to your policy. See "Your
Policy-Other Benefits."

What Does Your Premium Pay For?

Your premium pays for three things. It pays for insurance coverage, it acts as
an investment in the Sub-Accounts, and it pays for sales loads and other
charges.

Risks of Your Policy

Investment Performance -- The value of your policy will fluctuate with the
performance of the investment options you choose. Your investment options may
decline in value, or they may not perform to your expectations. Your policy
values in the Sub-Accounts are not guaranteed.

Unsuitable for Short-Term Savings -- The policy is designed for long term
financial planning. You should not purchase the policy if you will need the
premium payment in a short time period.

Risk of Lapse -- Your policy could terminate if the value of the policy becomes
too low to support the policy's monthly charges. If this occurs, we will notify
you in writing. You will then have a 61-day grace period to pay additional
amounts to prevent the policy from terminating.

Withdrawal Limitations -- One partial withdrawal is allowed each month. The
minimum allowed is $500, and the maximum allowed is the Cash Surrender Value
minus $1,000. Withdrawals will reduce your policy's death benefit, and may be
subject to a surrender charge.

Transfer Limitations -- We reserve the right to limit the size of transfers and
remaining balances, and to limit the number and frequency of transfers among
your investment options and the Fixed Account.

Loans -- Taking a loan from your policy may increase the risk that your policy
will lapse, will have a permanent effect on the policy's Account Value, and will
reduce the death proceeds.

Adverse Tax Consequences -- You may be subject to income tax if you receive any
loans, withdrawals or other amounts from the policy, and you may be subject to a
10% penalty tax. See "Taxes."

Separate Account VL I

The Sub-Accounts are subdivisions of our separate account, called Separate
Account VL I. The Separate Account exists to keep your life insurance policy
assets separate from our company assets. As such, the investment performance of
the Separate Account is independent from the investment performance of
Hartford's other assets. Hartford's other assets are utilized to pay you
insurance obligations under the policy. Your assets in the Separate Account are
held exclusively for your benefit and may not be used for any other liability of
Hartford. Separate Account VL I was established on June 8, 1995 under the laws
of Connecticut.

The Funds

The Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account purchase shares of mutual funds set up
exclusively for variable annuity and variable life insurance products. These
funds are not the same mutual funds that you buy through your stockbroker or
through a retail mutual fund, but they may have similar investment strategies
and the same portfolio managers as retail mutual funds. You choose the
Sub-Accounts that meet your investment style.

We do not guarantee the investment results of any of the underlying Funds. Since
each underlying Fund has different investment objectives, each is subject to
different risks. These risks and the Funds' expenses are described in the
prospectuses for the Funds, which are attached to this Prospectus, and the
Funds' Statements of Additional Information, which may be ordered from us. You
should read the following investment objectives and the prospectuses for each of
the Funds listed below for detailed information about each Fund before
investing. All Funds may not be available in all states.

You may also allocate some or all of your premium payments to the "Fixed
Account," which pays a declared interest rate. See "The Fixed Account."

Mixed and Shared Funding -- Shares of the Funds may be sold to our other
separate accounts and our insurance company affiliates or other unaffiliated
insurance companies to serve as the underlying investment for both variable
annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, a practice known as
"mixed and shared funding." As a result, there is a possibility that a material
conflict may arise between the interests of policy owners, and of owners of
other contracts whose contract values are allocated to one or more of these
other separate accounts investing in any one of the Funds. In the event of any
such material conflicts, we will consider what action may be appropriate,
including removing the Fund from the Separate Account or replacing the Fund with
another underlying fund. There are certain risks associated with mixed and
shared funding, as disclosed in the prospectuses for the Funds.

Voting Rights -- For Sub-Accounts in which you have invested, we will notify you
of shareholder's meetings of the Funds purchased by those Sub-Accounts. We will
send you proxy materials and instructions for you to vote the shares held for
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   11
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
your benefit by those Sub-Accounts. We will arrange for the handling and
tallying of proxies received from you or other policy owners. If you give no
instructions, we will vote those shares in the same proportion as shares for
which we received instructions.

The Fixed Account

You may allocate amounts to the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is not a part
of the Separate Account, but is a part of our general assets. As such, the Fixed
Account (and this description of the Fixed Account) is not subject to the same
securities laws as the Separate Account.

The Fixed Account credits at least 3.5% per year. We are not obligated to, but
may, credit more than 3.5% per year. If we do, such rates are determined at our
sole discretion. You assume the risk that, at any time, the Fixed Account may
credit no more than 3.5%.

Charges and Deductions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deductions from Premium

Before your premium is allocated to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Fixed Account,
we deduct a percentage from your premium for a sales load and a tax charge. The
amount allocated after the deductions is called your Net Premium.

Front-End Sales Load -- We deduct a front-end sales load from each premium you
pay. The current and maximum sales load in policy year 1 is 8%. The current
sales load after policy year 1 is 4%. The maximum sales load is 8% in policy
years 2 through 20 and 6% thereafter. In Oregon, the current and maximum sales
load in policy year 1 is 10%. The current sales load in Oregon after policy
year 1 is 6%. The maximum sales load in Oregon is 10% in policy years 2 through
20 and 8% thereafter.

Tax Charge -- We deduct a tax charge from each premium you pay. The tax charge
covers taxes assessed against us by a state and/or other governmental entity.
The range of such charge generally is between 0% and 4%.

Deductions from Account Value

Monthly Deduction Amounts -- Each month we will deduct an amount from your
Account Value to pay for the benefits provided by your policy. This amount is
called the Monthly Deduction Amount and equals the sum of:

(1) the charge for the cost of insurance;

(2) the monthly administrative charge;

(3) the mortality and expense risk charge;

(4) any Face Amount increase fee;

(5) the charges for additional benefits provided by rider, if any.

Cost of Insurance Charge -- The charge for the cost of insurance equals:

(i)  the cost of insurance rate per $1,000, multiplied by

(ii) the amount at risk, divided by

(iii) $1,000.

On any Monthly Activity Date, the amount at risk equals the Death Benefit less
the Account Value on that date, prior to assessing the Monthly Deduction Amount.

Cost of insurance rates will be determined on each policy anniversary based on
our future expectations of such factors as mortality, expenses, interest,
persistency and taxes. The cost of insurance rates will not exceed those based
on the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (ALB), Male or
Female, Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last birthday (unisex rates may be
required in some states). A table of guaranteed cost of insurance rates per
$1,000 will be included in your policy, however, we reserve the right to use
rates less than those shown in the table. The maximum rates that can be charged
are on page 3E of the contract. Substandard risks will be charged higher cost of
insurance rates that will not exceed rates based on a multiple of 1980
Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (ALB), Male or Female,
Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last birthday (unisex rates may be required in
some states) plus any flat extra amount assessed. The multiple will be based on
the insured's substandard rating.

Any changes in the cost of insurance rates will be made uniformly for all
insureds of the same issue ages, sexes, risk classes and whose coverage has been
in-force for the same length of time. No change in insurance class or cost will
occur on account of deterioration of the insured's health.

Because your Account Value and death benefit may vary from month to month, the
cost of insurance may also vary on each Monthly Activity Date. The cost of
insurance depends on your policy's amount at risk. Items which may affect the
amount at risk include the amount and timing of premium payments, investment
performance, fees and charges assessed, rider charges, policy loans and changes
to the Face Amount.

Monthly Administrative Charge -- We deduct a monthly administrative charge from
your Account Value to compensate us for issue and administrative costs of the
policy. The current monthly administrative charge is $7.50 for initial Face
Amounts of $100,000 and above. The current charge for initial Face Amounts below
$100,000 is $10 per month. The maximum administrative charge is $10 per month
for all initial Face Amounts.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge -- We deduct a mortality and expense risk
charge each month from your Account Value. There are two components to the
mortality and expense risk charge. Part of the charge is assessed according to
your
<PAGE>
12                                   HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Account Value attributable to the Sub-Accounts, and the other part is assessed
based on the initial Face Amount of your policy. The mortality and expense risk
charge each month is equal to the sum of (a) and (b) where

(a) equals:

 (i) the monthly accumulated value mortality and expense risk rate; multiplied
     by

 (ii) the sum of your accumulated values in the Sub-Accounts on the Monthly
      Activity Date, prior to assessing the Monthly Deduction Amount.

and

(b) equals:

 (i) the monthly mortality and expense risk rate per $1,000; multiplied by

 (ii) the initial Face Amount; divided by

 (iii) $1,000.

During the first 10 years, the current and maximum accumulated value mortality
and expense risk rate is 1/12 of 0.75% per month. Thereafter, the current rate
is 1/12 of 0.25% per month and the maximum rate is 1/12 of .50% per month.

During the first 10 years, the Face Amount mortality and expense risk rate per
$1,000 of initial Face Amount is individualized based on the Insured's initial
Face Amount, issue age, sex, and insurance class. The charge is on page 3A of
the contract. Thereafter, there is no charge.

The mortality and expense risk charge compensates us for mortality and expense
risks assumed under the policies. The mortality risk assumed is that the cost of
insurance charges are insufficient to meet actual claims. The expense risk
assumed is that the expense incurred in issuing, distributing and administering
the policies exceed the administrative charges and sales loads collected.
Hartford may keep any difference between cost it incurs and the charges it
collects.

Face Amount Increase Fee -- We deduct a dollar amount from your Account Value
for an unscheduled increase of the Face Amount on your policy. We deduct the fee
each month for twelve months after the increase. The fee is a per $1,000 amount
that varies by the attained age of the Insured. The monthly increase per 1,000
is on page 3C of the contract.

Rider Charge -- If your policy includes riders, a charge applicable to the
riders is made from the Account Value each month. The charge applicable to these
riders is to compensate Hartford for the anticipated cost of providing these
benefits and is specified on the applicable rider. The maximum charge for any
rider chosen is shown on page 3 of the contract. For a description of the riders
available, see "Your Policy -- Supplemental Benefits."

Surrender Charge -- During the first 9 policy years, surrender charges will be
deducted from your Account Value if

- - you surrender your policy;

- - you decrease the Face Amount to an amount lower than it has ever been; or

- - you take a withdrawal that causes the Face Amount to fall below the lowest
  previous Face Amount.

The amount of surrender charge is individualized based on the Insured's age,
sex, and insurance class on the date of issue. The surrender charges by policy
year are on page 3B of the contract. The charge compensates us for expenses
incurred in issuing the policy and the recovery of acquisition costs. Hartford
may keep any difference between cost it incurs and the charges it collects. For
partial surrender charges applicable to a decrease in the Face Amount or
withdrawal, see "Unscheduled Increases and Decreases in the Face Amount."

Charges For the Funds

The investment performance of each Fund reflects the management fee that the
Fund pays to its investment manager as well as other operating expenses that the
Fund incurs. Investment management fees are generally daily fees computed as a
percentage of a Fund's average daily net assets as an annual rate. Please read
the prospectus for each Fund for complete details.

Your Policy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contract Rights

Policy Owner, or "you" -- As long as your policy is in force, you may exercise
all rights under the policy while the insured is alive and no beneficiary has
been irrevocably named.

Beneficiary -- You name the beneficiary in your application for the policy. You
may change the beneficiary (unless irrevocably named) while the insured is alive
by notifying us in writing. If no beneficiary is living when the insured dies,
the death benefit will be paid to you if living; or, otherwise, to your estate.

Assignment -- You may assign your policy. Until you notify us in writing, no
assignment will be effective against us. We are not responsible for the validity
of any assignment.

Statements -- We will send you a statement at least once each year, showing:

- - the current Account Value, Cash Surrender Value and Face Amount;

- - the premiums paid, monthly deduction amounts and any loans since your last
  statement;

- - the amount of any Indebtedness;
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- - any notifications required by the provisions of your policy; and

- - any other information required by the Insurance Department of the state where
  your policy was delivered.

Right to Examine a Policy -- You have a limited right to return your policy for
cancellation. You may deliver or mail the policy to us or to the agent from whom
it was purchased any time during your free look period. Your free look period
begins on the day you get your policy and ends ten days after you get it (or
longer in some states). In such event, the policy will be rescinded and we will
pay an amount equal to the greater of the premiums paid for the policy less any
Indebtedness or the sum of: i) the Account Value less any Indebtedness, on the
date the returned policy is received by us or the agent from whom it was
purchased; and, ii) any deductions under the policy or charges associated with
the Separate Account. If your policy is replacing another policy, your free look
period and the amount paid to you upon the return of your policy vary by state.

Contract Limitations

Allocations to Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account -- You may allocate amounts to
a maximum of nine (9) Sub-Accounts, or eight (8) Sub-Accounts and the Fixed
Account.

Transfers of Account Value -- You may transfer amounts among the Fixed Account
and the Sub-Accounts subject to a charge described below. You may request
transfers in writing or by calling us at 1-800-231-5453. Transfers by telephone
may be made by your agent of record or by your attorney-in-fact pursuant to a
power of attorney. Telephone transfers may not be permitted in some states. We
will not be responsible for losses that result from acting upon telephone
requests reasonably believed to be genuine. We will employ reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. The
procedures we follow for transactions initiated by telephone include requiring
callers to provide certain identifying information. All transfer instructions
communicated to us by telephone are tape recorded.

You may make one transfer per calendar month free of charge, excluding any
transfers made pursuant to your enrollment in the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.
Each subsequent transfer in excess of one per calendar month will be subject to
a transfer charge of up to $25. We reserve the right to limit at a future date
the size of transfers and remaining balances and to limit the number and
frequency of transfers.

Transfers from the Fixed Account -- Except for transfers made under the Dollar
Cost Averaging Program, any transfers from the Fixed Account must occur during
the 30-day period following each policy anniversary, and, the maximum amount
transferred in any Policy Year will be the greater of $1,000 or 25% of the
Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account on the date of the transfer.

Deferral of Payments -- We may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Values,
withdrawals and loan amounts which are not attributable to the Sub-Accounts for
up to six months from the date of the request. If we defer payment for more than
30 days, we will pay you interest.

Changes to Contract or Separate Account

Modification of Policy -- The only way the policy may be modified is by a
written agreement signed by our President, or one of our Vice Presidents,
Secretaries, or Assistant Secretaries.

Substitution of Funds -- We reserve the right to substitute the shares of any
other registered investment company for the shares of any Fund already purchased
or to be purchased in the future by the Separate Account provided that the
substitution has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Change in Operation of the Separate Account -- The operation of the Separate
Account may be modified to the extent permitted by law, including deregistration
under the securities laws.

Separate Account Taxes -- Currently, no charge is made to the Separate Account
for federal, state and local taxes that may be allocable 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 policy in the future. Charges for other taxes, if any, allocable to
the Separate Account may also be made.

Other Benefits

Dollar Cost Averaging Program -- You may elect to allocate your Net Premiums
among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account pursuant to the Dollar Cost
Averaging (DCA) program. If you choose the DCA program, your Net Premiums will
be deposited into the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund Sub-Account or the Fixed
Account. Amounts will be transferred monthly to the other investment options in
accordance with your premium allocation instructions. The dollar amount will be
allocated to the investment options that you specify, in the proportions that
you specify. If, on any transfer date, your Account Value allocated to the
Dollar Cost Averaging program is less than the amount you have elected to
transfer, your DCA program will terminate.

You may cancel your DCA election by notice in writing or by calling us at
1-800-231-5453. We reserve the right to change or discontinue the DCA program.

The main objective of a DCA program is to minimize the impact of short-term
price fluctuations. The DCA program allows you to take advantage of market
fluctuations. Since the same dollar amount is transferred to your selected
investment options at set intervals, the DCA program allows you to purchase more
accumulation units when prices are low and fewer accumulation units when prices
are high. Therefore, a lower average cost per accumulation unit may be achieved
over the long term. However, it is important to understand that the DCA program
does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supplemental Benefits -- The following supplemental benefits are among the
options that may be included in a policy by rider, subject to the restrictions
and limitations set forth in the rider.

- - Term Life Rider -- While the rider is in force, we will pay the term life
  insurance amount upon receipt of due proof of death of the designated insured,
  subject to the conditions stated in the rider.

- - Deduction Amount Waiver Rider -- We will waive the Monthly Deduction Amount in
  the event of total disability prior to the insured reaching age 65 and
  continuing for at least six months. If the Deduction Amount Waiver Rider is
  added to your policy, the Monthly Deduction Amounts will be increased to
  include the charges for the rider.

- - Waiver of Specified Amount Disability Benefit Rider -- If the insured becomes
  totally disabled, we will credit the policy with an amount equal to the
  Specified Amount Disability Benefit as defined in your policy, for as long as
  the insured remains totally disabled.

- - Accidental Death Benefit Rider -- We will increase in the amount paid upon the
  death of the insured if the death results from an accident.

Settlement Options -- Proceeds under your policy may be paid in a lump sum or
may be applied to one of our four settlement options. The minimum amount that
may be placed under a settlement option is $5,000 (unless we consent to a lesser
amount), subject to our then-current rules. Once payments under the Second
Option, the Third Option or the Fourth Option begin, no surrender may be made
for a lump sum settlement in lieu of the life insurance payments. The following
payment options are available to you or your beneficiary. If a payment option is
not selected, proceeds will be paid in a lump sum. Your beneficiary may choose a
settlement option.

  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
  one 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.

  - 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 policy provides for guaranteed dollar amounts of monthly payments for each
$1,000 applied under the four payment options. Under the Fourth Option, the
amount of each payment 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,
we may make payments less often.

The table for the Fourth Option is based on the 1983a Individual Annuity
Mortality Table, set back one year and with a net investment rate of 3% per
annum. The tables for the First, Second and Third Options are based on a net
investment rate of 3% per annum. We 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.

Other arrangements for income payments may be agreed upon.

Benefits at Maturity -- The scheduled maturity date is the last date on which
you may elect to make premium payments. Unless you elect to continue the policy
beyond this date, the policy will terminate and any Cash Surrender Value will be
paid to you.

If elected, the policy may continue in force after the scheduled maturity date
if (a) the policy was in force on the scheduled maturity date; and (b) the owner
of the policy (including any assignee of record) agrees in writing to this
continuation.

At the scheduled maturity date:

- - the death benefit will be reduced to the Account Value;

- - the Account Value, if any, will continue to fluctuate with investment
  performance;

- - any loans will continue to accrue interest and become part of Indebtedness;

- - no future Monthly Deduction Amounts will be deducted;

- - no further premium payments will be accepted.

All additional benefits provided by rider will deem to have terminated at the
scheduled maturity date.

Otherwise, the policy will terminate on the scheduled maturity date.

Class of Purchasers

Reduced Charges for Eligible Groups -- Certain of the charges and deductions
described above may be reduced for policies issued in connection with a specific
plan, in accordance with our rules in effect as of the date the application for
a policy is approved. To qualify for such a reduction, a plan must satisfy
certain criteria, e.g., as to size of the plan, expected number of participants
and anticipated premium payment from the plan. Generally, the sales contacts and
effort, administrative costs and mortality cost per policy vary, based on such
factors as the size of
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   15
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the plan, the purposes for which policies are purchased and certain
characteristics of the plan's members. The amount of reduction and the criteria
for qualification will be reflected in the reduced sales effort and
administrative costs resulting from, and the different mortality experience
expected as a result of, sales to qualifying plans. We 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 policy owners invested in the
Separate Account.

Premiums
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Application for a Policy -- To purchase a policy you must submit an application
to us. Within limits, you may choose the initial Face Amount. Policies generally
will be issued only on the lives of insureds age 85 and under who supply
evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Acceptance is subject to our
underwriting rules and we reserve the right to reject an application for any
reason. No change in the terms or conditions of a policy will be made without
your consent. The minimum initial premium is the amount required to keep the
policy in force for one month, but not less than $50.

Your policy will be effective on the policy date only after we receive all
outstanding delivery requirements and the initial premium payment. The policy
date is the date used to determine all future cyclical transactions on the
policy, such as Monthly Activity Date and policy years.

Premium Payment Flexibility -- You have flexibility as to when and in what
amounts you pay premiums. Prior to policy issue, you can choose a planned
premium, within a range we determined, based on the Face Amount and the
insured's sex (except where unisex rates apply), issue age and risk
classification. We will send you premium notices for planned premium. Such
notices may be sent on an annual, semi-annual or quarterly basis. You may also
have premium payments automatically deducted monthly from your checking account.
The planned premium and payment mode you select are shown on your policy's
specifications page. You may change the planned premium at any time, subject to
our minimum amount rules then in effect.

After the first premium has been paid, your subsequent premium payments are
flexible. The actual amount and frequency of payment will affect the Account
Value and could affect the amount and duration of insurance provided by the
policy. Your policy may lapse if the value of your policy becomes insufficient
to cover the Monthly Deduction Amounts. In such case you may be required to pay
additional premiums in order to prevent the policy from terminating. For details
see, "Lapse and Reinstatement."

You may pay additional premiums at any time prior to the scheduled maturity
date, subject to the following limitations:

- - The minimum premium that we will accept is $50 or the amount required to keep
  the policy in force.

- - We reserve the right to refund any excess premiums that would cause the policy
  to fail to meet the definition of life insurance under the Internal Revenue
  Code.

- - We reserve the right to require evidence of insurability for any premium
  payment that results in an increase in the death benefit greater than the
  amount of the premium.

- - Any premium payment in excess of $1,000,000 is subject to our approval.

Allocation of Premium Payments -- The initial Net Premium (and any additional
Net Premiums received by us before the end of the right to examine period) will
be allocated to the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund Sub-Account on the later of
the policy date or the date we receive the initial premium payment. We will then
allocate the value in the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund Sub-Account to the
Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts according to the premium allocation specified
in the policy application upon the expiration of the right to examine policy
period, or the date we receive the final requirement to put the policy in force,
whichever is later.

You may change your premium allocation upon request in writing. Subsequent Net
Premiums will be allocated to the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts according
to your most recent written instructions as long as the number of investment
choices you are allocated to does not exceed nine (9), and the percentage you
allocate to each Sub-Account and/or the Fixed Account is in whole percentages.
If we receive a premium payment with a premium allocation instruction that does
not comply with the above rules, we will allocate the Net Premium pro rata based
on the values of your existing investment choices.

You will receive several different types of notifications as to what your
current premium allocation is. Each transaction confirmation received after we
receive a premium payment will show how a Net Premium has been allocated.
Additionally, each quarterly statement summarizes the current premium allocation
in effect for such policy.

Accumulation Units -- Net Premiums allocated to the Sub-Accounts are used to
credit accumulation units to such Sub-Accounts.

The number of accumulation units in each Sub-Account to be credited to a policy
(including the initial allocation to the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund
Sub-Account) and the amount to be credited to the Fixed Account will be
determined, first, by multiplying the Net Premium by the appropriate allocation
percentage in order to determine the portion of Net Premiums or transferred
Account Value to be invested in the Fixed Account or the Sub-Account. Each
portion of the Net Premium or transferred Account Value to be invested in a
Sub-Account is then divided by the accumulation unit value in a particular Sub-

Account next computed following its receipt. The resulting figure is the number
of accumulation units to be credited to each Sub-Account.

Accumulation Unit Values -- The accumulation unit value for each Sub-Account
will vary to reflect the investment experience of the applicable Fund and will
be determined on each Valuation Day by multiplying the accumulation unit value
of the particular Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Day by the net
investment factor for that Sub-Account for the Valuation Period then ended. The
net investment factor for each of the Sub-Accounts is equal to the net asset
value per share of the corresponding Fund at the end of the Valuation Period
(plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions paid by
that Fund in the Valuation Period then ended) divided by the net asset value per
share of the corresponding Fund at the beginning of the Valuation Period.

All valuations in connection with a policy, e.g., with respect to determining
Account Value, in connection with policy loans, or in calculation of death
benefits, or with respect to determining the number of accumulation units to be
credited to a policy with each premium payment other than the initial premium
payment will be made on the date the request or payment is received by us at the
National Service Center, provided such date is a Valuation Day; otherwise such
determination will be made on the next succeeding date which is a Valuation Day.

Account Values -- Each policy will have an Account Value. There is no minimum
guaranteed Account Value.

The Account Value of a policy changes on a daily basis and will be computed on
each Valuation Day. The Account Value will vary to reflect the investment
experience of the Sub-Accounts, the interest credited to the Fixed Account and
the Loan Account, and the Monthly Deduction Amounts, Net Premiums paid, and any
withdrawals taken.

A policy's Account Value is related to the net asset value of the Funds
associated with the Sub-Accounts, if any, to which Net Premiums on the policy
have been allocated. The Account Value in the Sub-Accounts on any Valuation Day
is calculated by, first, multiplying the number of accumulation units in each
Sub-Account as of the Valuation Day by the then current value of the
accumulation units in that Sub-Account and then totaling the result for all of
the Sub-Accounts. A policy's Account Value equals the policy's value in all of
the Sub-Accounts, the Fixed Account, and the Loan Account. A policy's Cash Value
is equal to the Account Value less any applicable surrender charges. A policy's
Cash Surrender Value, which is the net amount available upon surrender of the
policy, is the Cash Value less any Indebtedness. See "Accumulation Unit Values,"
above.

We will pay death proceeds, Cash Surrender Values, partial withdrawals, and loan
amounts allocable to the Sub-Accounts within seven days after we receive all the
information needed to process the payment, unless the New York Stock Exchange is
closed for other than a regular holiday or weekend, trading is restricted by the
Commission or the Commission declares that an emergency exists.

Death Benefits and Policy Values
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Death Benefit -- Your policy provides for the payment of the death proceeds to
the named beneficiary upon receipt of due proof of the death of the insured.
Your policy will be effective on the policy date only after we receive all
outstanding delivery requirements and the initial premium payment. You must
notify us in writing as soon as possible after the death of the insured. The
death proceeds payable to the beneficiary equal the death benefit less any
Indebtedness and less any due and unpaid Monthly Deduction Amount occurring
during a grace period. The death benefit depends on the death benefit option you
select.

Death Benefit Options -- There are three death benefit options: the Level Death
Benefit Option ("Option A"), the Return of Account Value Death Benefit Option
("Option B") and the Return of Premium Death Benefit Option ("Option C").
Subject to the minimum death benefit described below, the death benefit under
each option is as follows:

- - Under Option A, the current Face Amount.

- - Under Option B, the current Face Amount plus the Account Value.

- - Under Option C, the current Face Amount plus the sum of premiums paid.
  However, it will be no more than the current Face Amount plus the Option C
  limit, which is currently $2.5 million.

Option Change -- You may change your death benefit option by notifying us in
writing. Any change will become effective on the Monthly Activity Date following
the date we receive your request. If you elect to change to Option A, the Face
Amount will become that amount available as a death benefit immediately prior to
such option change. If you elect to change to Option B, the Face Amount will
become the amount available as a death benefit immediately prior to such option
change, minus the then-current Account Value. Changing your death benefit option
may result in a Surrender Charge. You should consult a tax adviser regarding the
possible adverse tax consequences resulting from a change in your death benefit
option.

Minimum Death Benefit -- Your policy has a minimum death benefit. We will
automatically increase the death benefit so that it will never be less than the
Account Value multiplied by the minimum death benefit percentage for the then
current year. This percentage varies according to the policy year and insured's
issue age, sex (where unisex rates are not used) and insurance class.

</TABLE>

In Example A, the death benefit equals $116,250, i.e., the greater of $100,000
(the Face Amount) or $116,250 (the Account Value at the date of death of
$46,500, multiplied by the specified percentage of 250%). This amount, less any
outstanding Indebtedness, constitutes the death proceeds payable to the
beneficiary.

In Example B, the death benefit is $100,000, i.e., the greater of $100,000 (the
Face Amount) or $85,000 (the Account Value of $34,000, multiplied by the
specified percentage of 250%).

Unscheduled Increases and Decreases in Face Amount -- At any time after the
first policy year, you may request in writing to change the Face Amount. The
minimum amount by which the Face Amount can be increased or decreased is based
on our rules then in effect.

We reserve the right to limit the number of increases or decreases made under a
policy to no more than one in any 12 month period.

All requests to increase the Face Amount must be applied for on a new
application and accompanied by your policy. All requests will be subject to
evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Any increase approved by us will be
effective on the Monthly Activity Date shown on the new policy specifications
page, provided that the Monthly Deduction Amount for the first month after the
effective date of the increase is made. We deduct a dollar amount from your
Account Value for an unscheduled increase of the Face Amount of your policy. We
deduct the fee each month for twelve months after the increase. The fee is a per
$1,000 amount that varies by the attained age of the insured.

A decrease in the Face Amount will be effective on the Monthly Activity Date
following the date we receive your request in writing. The remaining Face Amount
must not be less than that specified in our minimum rules then in effect. If
during the surrender charge period, you decrease your Face Amount to an amount
lower than it has ever been, a partial surrender charge will be assessed.

The surrender charge assessed will be:

(a) the surrender charge applicable to the then current policy year, if any;
    multiplied by

(b) the percentage described below.

The percentage will be determined by:

(i)  subtracting the new Face Amount from the lowest previous Face Amount; and

(ii) dividing that difference by the lowest previous Face Amount.

The surrender charge assessed will be deducted from your Account Value on the
Monthly Activity Date on which the decrease becomes effective. We will also
reduce the surrender charges applicable to future policy years and provide you a
revised schedule of surrender charges.

Charges and Contract Values -- Your contract values decrease due to the
deduction of policy charges. Contract values may increase or decrease depending
on investment performance. Investment expenses and fees reduce the investment
performance of the Sub-Accounts. Fluctuations in your account value may have an
effect on your death benefit. If your contract lapses, the contract terminates
and no death benefit will be paid.

Making Withdrawals From Your Policy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surrender -- Provided your policy has a Cash Surrender Value, you may surrender
your policy to us. We will pay you the Cash Surrender Value. Our liability under
the policy will cease as of the date of your request for surrender, or the date
you request to have your policy surrendered, if later.

Withdrawals -- One withdrawal is allowed per calendar month. Withdrawals may be
subject to a surrender charge, see "Surrender Charge." You may request a
withdrawal in writing. The minimum withdrawal allowed is $500. The maximum
partial withdrawal is the Cash Surrender Value, minus $1,000. If the death
benefit option then in effect is Option A or Option C, the Face Amount will be
reduced by the amount of any partial withdrawal. Unless specified, the
withdrawal will be deducted on a pro rata basis from the Fixed Account and the
Sub-Accounts. You may be assessed a charge of up to $10 for each partial
withdrawal.

Loans
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Availability of Loans -- At any time while the policy is in force, you may
borrow against the policy by assigning it as sole security to us. Any new loan
taken together with any existing Indebtedness may not exceed the Cash Surrender
Value on the date we grant a loan. The minimum loan amount that we will allow is
$500.
<PAGE>
18                                   HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless you specify otherwise, all loan amounts will be transferred on a pro rata
basis from the Fixed Account and each of the Sub-Accounts to the Loan Account.

If total Indebtedness equals or exceeds the Cash Value on any Monthly Activity
Date, the policy will then go into default. See "Lapse and Reinstatement."

Preferred Indebtedness -- If, at any time after the tenth (10th) policy
anniversary, your Account Value exceeds the total of all premiums paid since
issue, a portion of your Indebtedness may qualify as preferred. Preferred
Indebtedness is charged a lower interest rate than non-preferred Indebtedness,
if any. The maximum amount of preferred Indebtedness is the amount by which the
Account Value exceeds the total premiums paid and is determined on each Monthly
Activity Date.

Loan Repayments -- You can repay all or any part of a loan at any time while
your policy is in force and the insured is alive. The amount of your policy loan
repayment will be deducted from the Loan Account. It will be allocated among the
Fixed Account and Sub-Accounts in the same percentage as premiums are allocated.

Effect of Loans on Account Value -- A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a
permanent effect on your Account Value. This effect occurs because the
investment results of each Sub-Account will apply only to the amount remaining
in such Sub-Accounts. In addition, the rate of interest credited to the Fixed
Account will usually be different than the rate credited to the Loan Account.
The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect on your Account Value
is likely to be. Such effect could be favorable or unfavorable. If the Fixed
Account and the Sub-Accounts earn more than the annual interest rate for funds
held in the Loan Account, your Account Value will not increase as rapidly as it
would have had no loan been made. If the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts earn
less than the Loan Account, then your Account Value will be greater than it
would have been had no loan been made. Additionally, if not repaid, the
aggregate amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will reduce the death proceeds
and the Cash Surrender Value otherwise payable.

Credited Interest -- Any amounts in the Loan Account will be credited with
interest at an annual rate of 3.5%.

Interest Charged on Indebtedness -- Interest will accrue daily on the
Indebtedness at the policy loan rate. Because the interest charged on
Indebtedness may exceed the rate credited to the Loan Account, the Indebtedness
may grow faster than the Loan Account. If this happens, any difference between
the value of the Loan Account and the Indebtedness will be transferred on each
Monthly Activity Date from the Fixed Account and Sub-Accounts to the Loan
Account on a pro rata basis.

Policy Loan Rates -- The table below shows the interest rates we will charge on
your Indebtedness.

Lapse and Reinstatement
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lapse and Grace Period -- During the first three policy years, your policy will
be in default on any Monthly Activity Date on which the Account Value less
Indebtedness is not sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction Amount.

During the fourth policy year and thereafter, your policy will be in default on
any Monthly Activity Date if the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover
the Monthly Deduction Amount.

A 61-day "Grace Period" will begin from the date of any policy default. Upon
default, we will mail you and any assignee written notice of the amount of
premium that will be required to continue the policy in force. The premium
required will be no greater than the amount required to pay three Monthly
Deduction Amounts as of the date the Policy Grace period began. If the No-Lapse
Guarantee is available and sufficient premium has not been paid by the end of
the Grace Period, the death benefit option will become level, any policy riders
will terminate and any future unscheduled increases are cancelled. If the
insured dies during the Grace Period, we will pay the death proceeds.

No-Lapse Guarantee Default and Grace Period -- On every Monthly Activity Date
during the No-Lapse Guarantee period, we will compare the cumulative premium
payments received, less Indebtedness and less withdrawals, to the Cumulative
No-Lapse Guarantee Premium.

If the cumulative premium payments received, less Indebtedness and less
withdrawals, are less than the Cumulative No-Lapse Guarantee Premium, the
No-Lapse Guarantee will be deemed to be in default as of that Monthly Activity
Date and the No-Lapse Guarantee Grace Period will begin. We will mail you and
any assignee written notice of the amount of premium required to continue the
No-Lapse Guarantee.

The No-Lapse Guarantee will be removed from the policy at the end of the
No-Lapse Guarantee Grace Period if we have not received the amount of premium
required to continue such guarantee.

No-Lapse Guarantee -- The policy will remain in force at the end of the policy
Grace Period as long as the No-Lapse Guarantee is available, as described below.

The No-Lapse Guarantee is available so long as:

(a) the policy is in the No-Lapse Guarantee Period; and

(b) on each Monthly Activity Date during that period, the cumulative premiums
    paid into the policy, less Indebtedness
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   19
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    and less withdrawals from the policy, equal or exceed an amount known as the
    Cumulative No-Lapse Guarantee Premium.

The length of the No-Lapse Guarantee Period is the lesser of 10 years and to age
80. Some states may limit the maximum length of the No-Lapse Guarantee Period.
In Massachusetts, Texas and Florida, the maximum length of the No-Lapse
Guarantee Period is five (5) years. The No-Lapse Guarantee is not available in
New Jersey and Maryland. In Illinois, this provision is referred to as the
"Policy Coverage Protection Benefit." The Cumulative No-Lapse Guarantee Premium
is the premium required to maintain the No-Lapse Guarantee.

If the No-Lapse Guarantee is available and you fail to pay the required premium
as defined in your lapse notice by the end of the policy grace period, the
No-Lapse Guarantee will then go into effect. The policy will remain in force,
however:

(a) all riders will terminate;

(b) the Death Benefit Option becomes Level;

(c) The Death Benefit will equal the current Face Amount; and

(d) Any future scheduled Increases in the Face Amount will be canceled.

As long as the policy remains in default and the No-Lapse Guarantee is
available, the No-Lapse Guarantee will remain in effect on each subsequent
Monthly Activity Dates. You may be required to make premium payments to keep the
No-Lapse Guarantee available, as described above.

If during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, the Face Amount is increased or
decreased, or riders are added or increased, deleted or reduced, a new monthly
No-Lapse Guarantee Premium will be calculated. We will send you a notice of the
new Monthly No-Lapse Guarantee Premium, which will be used in calculating the
Cumulative No-Lapse Guarantee Premium in subsequent months.

Reinstatement -- Prior to the death of the insured, a policy may be reinstated
prior to the maturity date, provided such policy has not been surrendered for
cash, and provided further that:

1.  You request reinstatement in writing within five years after termination;

2.  You submit satisfactory evidence of insurability to us;

3.  Any Indebtedness existing at the time the policy was terminated is repaid or
    carried over to the reinstated policy; and

4.  You pay a premium sufficient to cover (a) all Monthly Deduction Amounts that
    are due and unpaid during the Grace Period and (b) the sum of Monthly
    Deduction Amounts for the next three months after the date the policy is
    reinstated.

The Account Value on the reinstatement date equals:

1.  The Cash Value at the time of policy termination; plus

2.  Net Premiums derived from premiums paid at the time of policy reinstatement;
    minus

3.  the Monthly Deduction Amounts that were due and unpaid during the Grace
    Period; plus

4.  the Surrender Charge at the time of policy reinstatement. The Surrender
    Charge is based on the duration from the original policy date.

Taxes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General

Since federal tax law is complex, the tax consequences of purchasing this policy
will vary depending on your situation. You may need tax or legal advice to help
you determine whether purchasing this policy is right for you.

Our general discussion of the tax treatment of this policy is based on our
understanding of federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. A
detailed description of all federal income tax consequences regarding the
purchase of this policy cannot be made in the prospectus. We also do not discuss
state, municipal or other tax laws that may apply to this policy. For detailed
information, you should consult with a qualified tax adviser familiar with your
situation.

Taxation of Hartford and the Separate Account

The Separate Account is taxed as a part of Hartford which is taxed as a life
insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "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
Funds) are reinvested and are taken into account in determining the value of the
Accumulation Units. As a result, such investment income and realized capital
gains are automatically applied to increase reserves under the policy. (See
"Premiums -- Accumulation Unit Values").

Hartford does not expect to incur any federal income tax on the earnings or
realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon this
expectation, 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 such taxes against the Separate Account.

Income Taxation of Policy Benefits -- Generally

For federal income tax purposes, the Policies should be treated as life
insurance contracts under Section 7702 of the Code. The
<PAGE>
20                                   HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

death benefit under a life insurance contract is generally excluded from the
gross income of the beneficiary. Also, a life insurance policy owner is
generally not taxed on increments in the contract 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
requirements.

Hartford also believes that any loan received under a policy will be treated as
Indebtedness of the policy owner, and that no part of any loan under a policy
will constitute income to the policy owner. A surrender or assignment of the
policy may have tax consequences depending upon the circumstances. Policy owners
should consult a qualified tax adviser concerning the effect of such changes.

During the first fifteen policy years, an "income first" rule generally applies
to distributions of cash required to be made under Code Section 7702 because of
a reduction in benefits under the policy.

The Maturity Date Extension Provision allows a policy owner to extend the
Maturity Date to the date of the death of the insured. If the Maturity Date of
the policy is extended, Hartford believes that the policy will continue to be
treated as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes after the
scheduled Maturity Date. However, due to the lack of specific guidance on this
issue, the result is not certain. If the policy is not treated as a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes after the scheduled Maturity
Date, among other things, the Death Proceeds may be taxable to the recipient.
The policy owner should consult a qualified 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. The seven-pay test provides that premiums cannot be paid at
a rate more rapidly than that allowed by the payment of seven annual premiums
using specified computational rules described in Section 7702A(c). A modified
endowment contract ("MEC") is a life insurance policy that either:
(i) satisfies the Section 7702 definition of life insurance, but fails the
seven-pay test of Section 7702A or (ii) is exchanged for a MEC.

If the policy satisfies the seven-pay test at issuance, distributions and loans
made thereafter will not be subject to the MEC rules, unless the policy is
changed materially. The seven-pay test will be applied anew at any time the
policy undergoes a material change, which includes an increase in the Face
Amount. In addition, if there is a reduction in benefits under the policy within
the first seven years, the seven-pay test is applied as if the policy had
initially been issued at the reduced benefit level. Any reduction in benefits
attributable to the nonpayment of premiums will not be taken into account for
purposes of the seven-pay test if the benefits are reinstated within 90 days
after the reduction.

A policy that is classified as a MEC 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, if the contract is classified as a MEC then withdrawals from
the contract will be considered first as withdrawals of income and then as a
recovery of premium payments. Thus, withdrawals will be includible in income to
the extent the contract value exceeds the investment in the contract. The amount
of any loan (including unpaid interest thereon) under the contract will be
treated as a withdrawal from the contract for tax purposes. In addition, if the
owner assigns or pledges any portion of the value of a contract (or agrees to
assign or pledge any portion), then such portion will be treated as a withdrawal
from the contract for tax purposes. Taxable withdrawals are subject to an
additional 10% tax, with certain exceptions. The owner's investment in the
contract is increased by the amount includible in income with respect to such
assignment, pledge, or loan, though it is not affected by any other aspect of
the assignment, pledge, or loan (including its release or repayment).

Generally, only distributions and loans made in the first year in which a policy
becomes a MEC, 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.

Before assigning, pledging, or requesting a loan under a policy that is a MEC,
an owner should consult a qualified tax adviser.

All MEC policies that are issued within any calendar year to the same policy
owner by one company or its affiliates are treated as one MEC policy for the
purpose of determining the taxable portion of any loan or distribution.

Hartford has instituted procedures to monitor whether a policy may become
classified as a MEC after issue.

Estate and Generation Skipping Taxes

When the Insured dies, the death proceeds will generally be includible in the
policy owner's estate for purposes of federal estate tax if the Insured owned
the policy. If the policy owner was not the Insured, the fair market value of
the policy would be included in the policy owner's estate upon the policy
owner's death. The policy would not be includible in the Insured's estate if the
Insured neither retained incidents of ownership at death nor had given up
ownership within three years before death.

The federal estate tax is integrated with the federal gift tax under a unified
rate schedule and unified credit which shelters up to $650,000 (for 1999) from
the estate and gift tax. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 gradually raises the
credit over the next seven years to $1,000,000. In addition, an unlimited
marital deduction may be available for federal estate and gift tax purposes. The
unlimited marital deduction permits the deferral of taxes until the death of the
surviving spouse.

If the policy owner (whether or not he or she is the Insured) transfers
ownership of the policy to someone two or more
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   21
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
generations younger, the transfer may be subject to the generation skipping
transfer tax, the taxable amount being the value of the policy. The
generation-skipping transfer tax provisions generally apply to transfers which
would be subject to the gift and estate tax rules. Individuals are generally
allowed an aggregate generation skipping transfer exemption of $1 million as
adjusted for inflation. Because these rules are complex, the policy owner should
consult with a qualified tax adviser for specific information if ownership is
passing to younger generations.

Diversification Requirements

The Code requires that investments supporting your policy be adequately
diversified. Code Section 817 provides that a variable life insurance contract
will not be treated as a life insurance contract for any period during which the
investments made by the separate account or underlying fund are not adequately
diversified. If a contract is not treated as a life insurance contract, the
policy owner will be subject to income tax on annual increases in cash value.

The Treasury Department's diversification regulations require, among other
things, that:

- - no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the segregated asset
  account 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 the
case of government securities, each government agency or instrumentality is
treated as a separate issuer.

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 meet the diversification
requirements, the company may still comply within a reasonable period and avoid
the taxation of contract income on an ongoing basis. However, either the company
or the policy owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which
the diversification requirements were not met.

We monitor the diversification of investments in the separate accounts and test
for diversification as required by the Code. We intend to administer all
policies subject to the diversification requirements in a manner that will
maintain adequate diversification.

Ownership of the Assets in the Separate Account

In order for a variable life insurance contract to qualify for tax deferral,
assets in the separate accounts supporting the contract must be considered to be
owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. It is unclear under
what circumstances an investor is considered to have enough control over the
assets in the separate account to be considered the owner of the assets for tax
purposes.

The IRS has issued several rulings discussing investor control. These rulings
say that certain incidents of ownership by the policy owner, such as the ability
to select and control investments in a separate account, will cause the policy
owner to be treated as the owner of the assets for tax purposes.

In its explanation of the diversification regulations, the Treasury Department
recognized that the temporary regulations "do not provide guidance concerning
the circumstances in which investor control of the investments of a segregated
asset account may cause the investor, rather than the insurance company, to be
treated as the owner of the assets in the account." The explanation further
indicates that "the temporary regulations provide that in appropriate cases a
segregated asset account may include multiple sub-accounts, but do not specify
the extent to which policyholders may direct their investments to particular
sub-accounts without being treated as the owners of the underlying assets.
Guidance on this and other issues will be provided in regulations or revenue
rulings under Section 817(d), relating to the definition of variable contract."

The final regulations issued under Section 817 did not provide guidance
regarding investor control, and as of the date of this prospectus, guidance has
yet to be issued. We do not know if additional guidance will be issued. If
guidance is issued, we do not know if it will have a retroactive effect.

Due to the lack of specific guidance on investor control, there is some
uncertainty about when a policy owner is considered the owner of the assets for
tax purposes. We reserve the right to modify the policy, as necessary, to
prevent you from being considered the owner of assets in the separate account.

Tax Deferral During Accumulation Period

Under existing provisions of the Code, except as described below, any increase
in an owner's Investment Value is generally not taxable to the policy owner
unless amounts are received (or are deemed to be received) under the policy
prior to the insured's death. If the policy is surrendered or matures, the
amount received will be includable in the policy owner's income to the extent
that it exceeds the policy owner's "investment in the contract." (If there is
any debt at the time of a surrender, then such debt will be treated as an amount
distributed to the owner.) The "investment in the contract" is the aggregate
amount of premium payments and other consideration paid for the policy, less the
aggregate amount received previously under the policy to the extent such amounts
received were excluded from gross

income. Whether partial withdrawals (or other such amounts deemed to be
distributed) from the policy constitute income to the policy owner depends, in
part, upon whether the policy is considered a modified endowment contract for
Federal income tax purposes.

Life Insurance Purchased for Use in Split Dollar Arrangements

On January 26, 1996, the IRS released a technical advice memorandum ("TAM") on
the taxability of life insurance policies used in certain split dollar
arrangements. A TAM, issued by the National Office of the IRS, provides advice
as to the internal revenue laws, regulations, and related statutes with respect
to a specific set of facts and a specific taxpayer. In the TAM, among other
things, the IRS concluded that an employee was subject to current taxation on
the excess of the cash surrender value of the policy over the premiums to be
returned to the employer. Purchasers of life insurance policies to be used in
split dollar arrangements are strongly advised to consult with a qualified tax
adviser to determine the tax treatment resulting from such an arrangement.

Federal Income Tax Withholding

If any amounts are deemed to be current taxable income to the policy owner, such
amounts will be subject to federal income tax withholding and reporting,
pursuant to the Code.

Non-Individual Ownership of Policies

In certain circumstances, the Code limits the application of specific tax
advantages to individual owners of life insurance contracts. Prospective policy
owners which are not individuals should consult a qualified tax adviser to
determine the potential impact on the purchaser.

Other

Federal estate tax, state and local estate, inheritance and other tax
consequences of ownership, or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary. A qualified tax adviser
should be consulted to determine the impact of these taxes.

Life Insurance Purchases by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations

The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income
tax consequences to life insurance purchasers that are U.S. citizens or
residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be
subject to U.S. federal income tax and withholding on taxable distributions from
life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In
addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes
that may be imposed by the purchaser's country of citizenship or residence.
Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser
regarding U.S. state, and foreign taxation with respect to a life insurance
policy purchase.

There are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Separate Account is

Other Matters
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Year 2000

In General -- The Year 2000 issue relates to the ability or inability of
computer hardware, software and other information technology (IT) systems, as
well as non-IT systems, such as equipment and machinery with imbedded chips and
microprocessors, to properly process information and data containing or related
to dates beginning with the year 2000 and beyond. The Year 2000 issue exists
because, historically, many IT and non-IT systems that are in use today were
developed years ago when a year was identified using a two-digit date field
rather than a four-digit date field. As information and data containing or
related to the century date are introduced to date sensitive systems, these
systems may recognize the year 2000 as "1900", or not at all, which may result
in systems processing information incorrectly. This, in turn, may significantly
and adversely affect the integrity and reliability of information databases of
IT systems, may cause the malfunctioning of certain non-IT systems, and may
result in a wide variety of adverse consequences to a company. In addition, Year
2000 problems that occur with third parties with which a company does business,
such as suppliers, computer vendors, distributors and others, may also adversely
affect any given company.

The integrity and reliability of Hartford's IT systems, as well as the
reliability of its non-IT systems, are integral aspects of Hartford's business.
Hartford issues insurance policies, annuities, mutual funds and other financial
products to individual and business customers, nearly all of which contain date
sensitive data, such as policy expiration dates, birth dates and premium payment
dates. In addition, various IT systems support communications and other systems
that integrate Hartford's various business segments and field offices. Hartford
also has business relationships with numerous third parties that affect
virtually all aspects of Hartford's business, including, without limitation,
suppliers, computer hardware and software vendors, insurance agents and brokers,
securities broker-dealers and other distributors of financial products, many of
which provide date sensitive

data to Hartford, and whose operations are important to Hartford's business.

Internal Year 2000 Efforts and Timetable -- Beginning in 1990, Hartford began
working on making its IT systems Year 2000 ready, either through installing new
programs or replacing systems. Since January 1998, Hartford's Year 2000 efforts
have focused on the remaining Year 2000 issues related to IT and non-IT systems
in all of Hartford's business segments. These Year 2000 efforts include the
following five main initiatives: (1) identifying and assessing Year 2000 issues;
(2) taking actions to remediate IT and non-IT systems so that they are Year 2000
ready; (3) testing IT and non-IT systems for Year 2000 readiness; (4) deploying
such remediated and tested systems back into their respective production
environments; and (5) conducting internal and external integrated testing of
such systems. As of December 31, 1998, Hartford substantially completed
initiatives (1) through (4) of its internal Year 2000 efforts. Hartford has
begun initiative (5) and management currently anticipates that such activity
will continue into the fourth quarter of 1999.

Third Party Year 2000 Efforts and Timetable -- Hartford's Year 2000 efforts
include assessing the potential impact on Hartford of third parties' Year 2000
readiness. Hartford's third party Year 2000 efforts include the following three
main initiatives: (1) identifying third parties which have significant business
relationships with Hartford, including, without limitation, insurance agents,
brokers, third party administrators, banks and other distributors and servicers
of financial products, and inquiring of such third parties regarding their Year
2000 readiness; (2) evaluating such third parties' responses to Hartford's
inquiries; and (3) based on the evaluation of third party responses (or a third
party's failure to respond) and the significance of the business relationship,
conducting additional activities with respect to third parties as determined to
be necessary in each case. These activities may include conducting additional
inquiries, more in-depth evaluations of Year 2000 readiness and plans, and
integrated IT systems testing. Hartford has completed the first third party
initiative and, as of early 1999, had substantially completed evaluating third
party responses received. Hartford has begun conducting the additional
activities described in initiative (3) and management currently anticipates that
it will continue to do so through the end of 1999. However, notwithstanding
these third party Year 2000 efforts, Hartford does not have control over these
third parties and, as a result, Hartford cannot currently determine to what
extent future operating results may be adversely affected by the failure of
these third parties to adequately address their Year 2000 issues.

Year 2000 Costs -- The costs of Hartford's Year 2000 program that were incurred
through the year ended December 31, 1997 were not material to Hartford's
financial condition or results of operations. The after-tax costs of Hartford's
Year 2000 efforts for the year ended December 31, 1998 were approximately $3
million. Management currently estimates that after-tax costs related to the Year
2000 program to be incurred in 1999 will be less than $10 million. These costs
are being expensed as incurred.

Risks and Contingency Plans -- If significant Year 2000 problems arise,
including problems arising with third parties, failures of IT and non-IT systems
could occur, which in turn could result in substantial interruptions in
Hartford's business. In addition, Hartford's investing activities are an
important aspect of its business and Hartford may be exposed to the risk that
issuers of investments held by it will be adversely impacted by Year 2000
issues. Given the uncertain nature of Year 2000 problems that may arise,
especially those related to the readiness of third parties discussed above,
management cannot determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000
related problems that could arise will have a material impact on Hartford's
financial condition or results of operations.

Hartford is in the process of developing certain contingency plans so that if,
despite its Year 2000 efforts, Year 2000 problems ultimately arise, the impact
of such problems may be avoided or minimized. These contingency plans are being
developed based on, among other things, known or reasonably anticipated
circumstances and potential vulnerabilities. The contingency planning also
includes assessing the dependency of Hartford's business on third parties and
their Year 2000 readiness. Hartford currently anticipates that internal and
external contingency plans will be substantially complete by the end of the
second quarter of 1999. However, in many contexts, Year 2000 issues are dynamic,
and ongoing assessments of business functions, vulnerabilities and risks must be
made. As such, new contingency plans may be needed in the future and/or existing
plans may need to be modified as circumstances warrant.

Insurance Company which states the statutory financial statements are presented
in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners and the State of Connecticut
Insurance Department, and are not presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The principal business address of Arthur
Andersen LLP is One Financial Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut 06103.

Actuarial Expert -- The hypothetical Policy illustrations included in this
Statement of Additional Information and the registration statement with respect
to the Separate Account have been approved by Kenneth A. McCullum, FSA, MAAA,
Assistant Vice President and Director, Individual Life Product Development, for
Hartford, and are included in reliance upon his opinion as to their
reasonableness.

Distribution of the Policies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO") serves as principal underwriter
for the policies and will offer the policies on a continuous basis. HESCO is
controlled by Hartford and is located at the same address as Hartford. HESCO is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").

The policies will be sold by salespersons who represent Hartford as insurance
agents and who are registered representatives of HESCO or certain other
registered broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with
HESCO.

Broker-dealers or financial institutions are compensated according to a schedule
set forth by HESCO and any applicable rules or regulations for variable
insurance compensation. The compensation payable may vary with the distribution
agreements with HESCO. Compensation is generally based on premium payments. This
compensation is usually paid from the sales charges described in the Prospectus.

During the first Policy Year, the most common schedule of commission we pay is
70% of the premium paid up to the Target Premium and 2.0% of the premium in
excess of the Target Premium. The Target Premium is an amount used to calculate
sales commissions where the Target Premium amounts vary by the: (1) age; (2)
sex; and (3) insurance class of the Insured. In Policy Years 2 and later, this
schedule allows for a commission of 2% of Premiums paid. A sales representative
may be required to return all or a portion of the commissions paid if the Policy
terminates prior to the Policy's first Policy Anniversary.

In addition, a broker-dealer or financial institution may also receive
additional compensation for, among other things, training, marketing or other
services provided. HESCO, its affiliates or Hartford may also make compensation
arrangements with certain broker-dealers or other financial institutions based
on total sales by the broker-dealer or financial institution of insurance
products. These payments, which may be different for broker-dealers or financial
institutions, will be made by HESCO, its affiliates or Hartford out of their
assets and will not effect the amounts paid by the policy owner to purchase,
hold or surrender variable insurance products.

The following table shows officers and directors of HESCO:

Additional Information About Charges
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales Load -- The front-end sales load is a charge deducted from each premium
payment. The current and maximum sales load in policy year 1 is 8%. The current
sales load after policy year 1 is 4%. The maximum sales load is 8% in policy
years 2 through 20 and 6% thereafter.

The front-end load under the policies may be used to cover expenses related to
the sale and distribution of the policies.

Reduced Charges for Eligible Groups -- Certain of the charges and deductions
described above may be reduced for policies issued in connection with a specific
plan, in accordance with our rules in effect as of the date the application for
a policy is approved. To qualify for such a reduction, a plan must satisfy
certain criteria, e.g., as to size of the plan, expected number of participants
and anticipated premium payment from the plan. Generally, the sales contacts and
effort, administrative costs and mortality cost per policy vary, based on such
factors as the size of the plan, the purposes for which policies are purchased
and certain characteristics of the plan's members. The amount of reduction and
the criteria for qualification will be reflected in the reduced sales effort and
administrative costs resulting from, and the different mortality experience
expected as a result of, sales to qualifying plans. We 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 policy owners invested in Separate
Account VL I.

Underwriting Procedures -- To purchase a policy you must submit an application
to us. Within limits, you may choose the
<PAGE>
STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION                                            7
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
initial Face Amount. Policies generally will be issued only on the lives of
insureds the ages of 0 and 85 who supply evidence of insurability satisfactory
to us. Acceptance is subject to our underwriting rules and we reserve the right
to reject an application for any reason.

Cost of insurance rates will be determined on each policy anniversary based on
our future expectations of such factors as mortality, expenses, interest,
persistency and taxes. For preferred and standard risks, the cost of insurance
rate will not exceed those based on the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary
Mortality Table (ALB), Male or Female, Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last
birthday (unisex rates may be required in some states). A table of guaranteed
cost of insurance rates per $1,000 will be included in your policy, however, we
reserve the right to use rates less than those shown in the table. Special risk
classes are used when mortality experience in excess of the standard risk
classes is expected. These substandard risks will be charged a higher cost of
insurance rate that will not exceed rates based on a multiple of 1980
Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (ALB), Male or Female,
Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last birthday (unisex rates may be required in
some states) plus any flat extra amount assessed. The multiple will be based on
the insured's substandard rating.

No change in the terms or conditions of a policy will be made without your
consent.

Unscheduled Increases in Face Amount  -- At any time after the first policy
year, you may request in writing to change the Face Amount. The minimum amount
by which the Face Amount can be increased is based on our rules then in effect.

We reserve the right to limit the number of increases or decreases made under a
policy to no more than one in any 12 month period.

All requests to increase the Face Amount must be applied for on a new
application and accompanied by your policy. All requests will be subject to
evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Any increase approved by us will be
effective on the Monthly Activity Date shown on the new policy specifications
page, provided that the Monthly Deduction Amount for the first month after the
effective date of the increase is made. Each unscheduled increase in Face Amount
is subject to an increase fee. We deduct the fee each month for twelve months
after the increase. The Face Increase Fee rate is per $1,000 amount and varies
by the attained age of the insured.

Illustration of Death Benefits, Account Values
and Cash Surrender Values

The following tables illustrate the way in which the Policy operates. They show
how the Death Benefit, Account Values and Cash Surrender Values could vary over
an extended period of time, assuming hypothetical gross rates of return equal to
constant after tax annual rates of 0%, 6% and 12%. The illustrations assume a
male, preferred, non-nicotine, age 35, with $250,000 of Face Amount and a
premium of $1,875 paid in all years.

The Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash Surrender Value for a Policy would be
different from those shown if the rates of return averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a
period of years, but also fluctuated above or below those averages for
individual Policy Years. They would also differ if any Policy loan was made
during the period of time illustrated.

The tables reflect the deductions of current Policy charges and guaranteed
Policy charges for a single gross interest rate. The Death Benefits, Account
Values and Cash Surrender Values would change if current Cost of Insurance
charges change.

The amounts shown for the Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash Surrender Value
as of the end of each Policy Year take into account an average daily charge
equal to an annual charge of 0.71% of the average daily net assets of the Funds
for investment advisory and administrative services fees. The gross annual
investment return rates of 0%, 6% and 12% on the Fund's assets are equal to net
annual investment return rates (net of the 0.71% average daily charge) of
- -0.71%, 5.29% and 11.29%, respectively.

In addition, the Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash Surrender Value as of the
end of each Policy Year take into account the front-end sales load, tax charge,
Cost of Insurance charge, monthly administrative fee, and mortality and expense
risk charge. For purpose of the illustrations in this Statement of Additional
Information, the tax charge is assumed to be an average of 1.75%.

The hypothetical returns shown in the illustrations are without any tax charges
that may be allocable to the Separate Account in the future. In order to produce
after-tax returns of 0%, 6%, and 12%, the Separate Account would have to earn a
sufficient amount in excess of 0% or 6% or 12%, respectively, to cover any tax
charges.

The "Premiums Accumulated at 5% Interest Per Year" column of each illustration
table shows the amount which would accumulate if the initial premium was
invested to earn interest, after taxes, of 5% per year, compounded annually.

Hartford will furnish, upon request, a comparable illustration reflecting the
proposed Insured's age and risk classification, a Policy's proposed Face Amount
or the initial premium requested, and reflecting guaranteed Cost of Insurance
rates. Hartford will also furnish an additional similar illustration reflecting
current Cost of Insurance rates, which may be less than, but never greater than,
the guaranteed Cost of Insurance rates.

**These values reflect investment results using guaranteed cost of insurance

These values reflect Current Front-End Sales Loads of 8% in year 1 and 4%
thereafter, and Guaranteed Front-End Sales Loads of 8% in policy years 1 through
20 and 6% thereafter. The surrender charge effective in any year can be
determined by subtracting the cash surrender value from the account value.

The Death Benefit may, and the Account Values and Cash Surrender Values will
differ if premiums are paid in different amounts or frequencies.

THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RESULTS SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS
ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR
FUTURE INVESTMENT RESULTS. ACTUAL INVESTMENT RESULTS MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN
THOSE SHOWN. THE DEATH BENEFIT, ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR A
POLICY WOULD BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE SHOWN IF ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN
APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY AVERAGE 12% OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, BUT ALSO FLUCTUATED
ABOVE OR BELOW THAT AVERAGE FOR INDIVIDUAL POLICY YEARS. THE DEATH BENEFIT,
ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD ALSO BE DIFFERENT FROM
THOSE SHOWN, DEPENDING ON THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS MADE TO THE SEPARATE
ACCOUNTS AND THE RATES OF RETURN OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT IF THE ACTUAL RATES OF
INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY AVERAGED 12%, BUT VARIED ABOVE OR

 *These values reflect investment results using current cost of insurance rates,
  administrative fees, and Mortality and Expense Risk rates.
**These values reflect investment results using guaranteed cost of insurance
  rates, administrative fees, and Mortality and Expense Risk rates.

These values reflect Current Front-End Sales Loads of 8% in year 1 and 4%
thereafter, and Guaranteed Front-End Sales Loads of 8% in policy years 1 through
20 and 6% thereafter. The surrender charge effective in any year can be
determined by subtracting the cash surrender value from the account value.

The Death Benefit may, and the Account Values and Cash Surrender Values will
differ if premiums are paid in different amounts or frequencies.

THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RESULTS SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS
ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR
FUTURE INVESTMENT RESULTS. ACTUAL INVESTMENT RESULTS MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN
THOSE SHOWN. THE DEATH BENEFIT, ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR A
POLICY WOULD BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE SHOWN IF ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN
APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY AVERAGE 0% OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, BUT ALSO FLUCTUATED
ABOVE OR BELOW THAT AVERAGE FOR INDIVIDUAL POLICY YEARS. THE DEATH BENEFIT,
ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD ALSO BE DIFFERENT FROM
THOSE SHOWN, DEPENDING ON THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS MADE TO THE SEPARATE
ACCOUNTS AND THE RATES OF RETURN OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT IF THE ACTUAL RATES OF
INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY AVERAGED 0%, BUT VARIED ABOVE OR
BELOW THAT AVERAGE FOR THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE THAT
THIS HYPOTHETICAL RATE OF RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED
OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company
Separate Account Variable Life One and to the
Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account Variable Life One
(Bond Fund, Stock Fund, Money Market Fund, Advisers Fund, Capital Appreciation
Fund, Mortgage Securities Fund, Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund,
Dividend and Growth Fund, Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Fund, Fidelity VIP Overseas
Fund, Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager Fund, Growth and Income Fund, International
Advisers Fund, Small Company Fund, and MidCap Fund) (collectively, the Account)
as of December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations and the
statements of changes in net assets for the periods presented. 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 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of December 31,
1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets
for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                             SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL I
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

 1. ORGANIZATION:

    Separate Account VL I (the Account) is a separate investment account within
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. 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 and capital gains income is
accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains income represents those
dividends from the Funds which are characterized as capital gains under tax
regulations.

    b) SECURITY VALUATION -- The investments 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, 1998.

    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) DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES FROM THE ACCOUNT VALUE -- On the policy date and
on each subsequent monthly activity date, the Company will deduct from the
Account an amount to cover mortality and expense risk charges, cost of
insurance, administrative charges and any other benefits provided by the rider.
These charges, which may vary from month to month in accordance with the terms
of the contracts, are deducted through termination of units of interest from
applicable contract owners' accounts.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust
Separate Account
Variable Life One and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust
Separate Account Variable Life One (Asia Pacific Growth, Diversified Income, The
George Putnam Fund of Boston, Global Asset Allocation, Global Growth, Growth and
Income, Health Sciences, High Yield, International Growth, International Growth
and Income, International New Opportunities, Investors, Money Market, New
Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging Growth, U.S. Government and High
Quality Bond, Utilities Growth and Income, Vista, and Voyager), (collectively,
the Account) as of December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations
and the statements of changes in net assets for the periods presented. 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 audits.

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 the Account as of December 31,
1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets
for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                             SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL I
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

 1. ORGANIZATION:

    Separate Account VL I (the Account) is a separate investment account within
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. 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 the 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 and capital gains income is
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 investments 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, 1998.

    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) COST OF INSURANCE -- In accordance with terms of the contracts, the
Company makes deductions for costs of insurance to cover the Company's
anticipated mortality costs. Because a policy's account value and death benefit
may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charges may also vary.

    b) MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE -- The Company, as issuer of variable
annuity contracts, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and, with
respect to the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of 1.40% of the Account's
average daily net assets. These expenses are reflected in surrenders on the
accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

    c) ADMINISTRATIVE AND ISSUE CHARGES -- The Company assesses a monthly
administrative charge to compensate the Company for administrative costs in
connection with the policies. This charge covers the average expected cost for
these expenses at a maximum of $12 per month. Additionally, the Company assesses
a monthly charge in the first policy year for up-front costs of underwriting and
issuing a policy at a monthly maximum amount of $62.50. These expenses are
reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

    d) DEDUCTION OF ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE -- Annual maintenance fees are
deducted through termination of units of interest from applicable contract
owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. These expenses
are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements of changes in net
assets.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
   (Dollar amounts in millions except for share data unless otherwise stated)
                                  (Unaudited)

 Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hartford
Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries ("Hartford Life Insurance Company" or
the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures
which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments which
were normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. For a
description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in Hartford Life Insurance Company's 1998 Form
10-K Annual Report.

    Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information
to conform to the current year classification of transactions and accounts.

(b) Changes in Accounting Principles

    In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 133". This statement amends SFAS No. 133 to defer its
effective date for one year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
Initial application for Hartford Life Insurance Company will begin for the first
quarter 2001.

    Effective January 1, 1999, Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted Statement
of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". This SOP provides guidance on
accounting for costs of internal use software and in determining whether
software is for internal use. The SOP defines internal use software as software
that is acquired, internally developed, or modified solely to meet internal
needs and identifies stages of software development and accounting for the
related costs incurred during the stages. Adoption of this SOP did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

    Effective January 1, 1999, Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted SOP No.
97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related
Assessments". This SOP addresses accounting by insurance and other enterprises
for assessments related to insurance activities, including recognition,
measurement and disclosure of guaranty fund or other assessments. Adoption of
this SOP did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.

 2. Segment Information

    Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", during the fourth quarter of
1998. This statement replaces SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of
a Business Enterprise", and establishes new standards for reporting information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
This statement requires that the reportable operating segments be based on the
Company's internal operations. On this basis, Hartford Life Insurance Company's
segments represent strategic operations which offer different products and
services as well as serve different markets.

    Hartford Life Insurance Company is organized into three reportable operating
segments: Investment Products, Individual Life and Corporate Owned Life
Insurance (COLI). Investment Products offers individual variable annuities,
fixed market value adjusted (MVA) annuities and fixed and variable immediate
annuities, deferred compensation and retirement plan services, structured
settlement contracts and other special purpose annuity contracts. Individual
Life sells a variety of life insurance products, including variable life,
universal life, interest-sensitive whole life and term life insurance. COLI
primarily offers variable products used by employers to fund non-qualified
benefits or other post-employment benefit obligations as well as leveraged COLI.
The Company includes in "Other" corporate items not directly allocable to any of
its reportable operating segments as well as certain employee benefit products
including group life and disability insurance that is directly written by the
Company and is substantially ceded to its parent, Hartford Life and Accident
Insurance Company.

    The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Hartford Life Insurance

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company's 1998 Form 10-K Annual Report. Hartford Life Insurance Company
evaluates performance of its segments based on revenues, net income and the
segment's return on allocated capital. The Company charges direct operating
expenses to the appropriate segment and allocates the majority of indirect
expenses to the segments based on an intercompany expense arrangement.
Intersegment revenues are not significant and primarily occur between corporate
and the operating segments. These amounts include interest income on allocated
surplus and the allocation of net realized capital gains and losses through net
investment income utilizing the duration of the segment's investment portfolios.
The following tables present summarized financial information concerning the
Company's segments.

 3. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

(a) Litigation

    Hartford Life Insurance Company is involved in pending and threatened
litigation in the normal course of its business in which claims for monetary and
punitive damages have been asserted. Although there can be no assurances, at the
present time the Company does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising
from such pending or threatened litigation, after consideration of provisions
made for potential losses and costs of defense, will have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition or operating results of the Company.

(b) Investments

    In October 1998, the Company became aware of allegations of improper
activities at Commercial Financial Services Inc. (CFS), a securitizer and
servicer of asset backed securities, and on December 11, 1998, CFS filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, the Company
recognized a $25, after-tax, writedown on its asset backed securities
securitized and serviced by CFS, during the fourth quarter of 1998. (For a
further discussion of CFS, see Note 12 (e) of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Hartford Life Insurance Company's Form 10-K Annual
Report.)

    In June 1999, CFS ceased operations and bankruptcy trustees began the
process of transitioning servicing accounts over to back up servicers. As a
result, the Company recognized a $28, after-tax, writedown related to the asset
backed securities, during the second quarter of 1999. As of June 30, 1999,
Hartford Life Insurance Company's amortized cost and estimated fair value of
these securities was $23.

(c) Tax Matters

    Hartford Life Insurance Company's federal income tax returns are routinely
audited by the Internal Revenue Service. Management believes that adequate
provision has been made in the financial statements for items that may result
from tax examinations and other tax related matters.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company:

We have audited the accompanying statutory balance sheets of Hartford Life and
Annuity Insurance Company (a Connecticut Corporation and wholly owned subsidiary
of Hartford Life Insurance Company) (the Company) as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related statutory statements of operations, changes in capital and
surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statutory
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 financial
statements. When statutory 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 of the effects of the matter discussed in the preceding
paragraph, the statutory financial statements referred to above do not present
fairly, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1998.

However, in our opinion, the statutory financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 in
conformity with statutory accounting practices as described in Note 1.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (STATUTORY BASIS)
                               DECEMBER 31, 1998
                 (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)

 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

ORGANIZATION

    Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ILA" or "the Company"),
formerly known as ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company, is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company ("HLIC"), which is an
indirect subsidiary of Hartford Life, Inc. ("HLI"), which is majority owned by
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. ("The Hartford"), formerly a wholly
owned subsidiary of ITT Corporation ("ITT"). On February 10, 1997, HLI filed a
registration statement, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission
relating to the initial public offering of HLI Class A Common Stock (the
"Offering"). Pursuant to the Offering on May 22, 1997, HLI sold to the public 26
million shares, representing 18.6% of the equity ownership of HLI. 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"), the State of
Connecticut Department of Insurance and the State of Wisconsin for the 1996
period, as applicable. Certain prior year amounts and balances have been
reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

    Current prescribed statutory accounting practices include accounting
publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"), as
well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. Permitted
statutory accounting practices encompass accounting practices approved by State
Insurance Departments. The Company does not follow any permitted statutory
accounting practices that have a material effect on statutory surplus, statutory
net income or risk-based capital.

    Final approval of the NAIC's proposed "Comprehensive Guide" on statutory
accounting principles was distributed in 1998. The requirements are effective
January 1, 2001, and are not expected to have a material impact on statutory
surplus of the Company.

    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. The most significant estimates
include those used in determining the liability for aggregate reserves for
future benefits and the liability for premium and other deposit funds. Although
some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts
provided are adequate.

    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 for GAAP purposes;

(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, for universal life policies and
    investment products, generally, 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.,
    negative Interest Maintenance Reserve, 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 currently, or using a twenty year phase-in approach, whereas GAAP
    liabilities are recorded upon adoption of the applicable standard;

(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;
    as well as, the accounting for retroactive reinsurance which is immediately
    charged to surplus for statutory accounting purposes whereas GAAP precludes
    immediate gain recognition unless the ceding enterprise's liability to its
    policyholders is extinguished; as well as reinsurance ceded that fails to
    meet GAAP risk transfer guidelines would result in deposit accounting for
    GAAP where as for statutory, reserves ceded and assumed would be reflected
    in the statutory basis statements of operations;

(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 bonds were classified on a GAAP basis
    as "available-for-sale" and accordingly, those investments and common stocks
    were reflected at fair value with the corresponding impact included as a
    component of Stockholder's Equity designated as "Net unrealized capital
    gains (losses) on securities net of tax". For statutory reporting purposes,
    Change in Net Unrealized Capital Gains (Losses) on Common Stocks and Other
    Invested Assets includes the change in unrealized gains (losses) 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, the significant differences
between Statutory and GAAP basis net income and capital and surplus for the
Company are as follows:

    As more fully described in Note 3, Lyndon Insurance Company (Lyndon) was
contributed to the Company on June 30, 1995. The GAAP net assets contributed
exceeded the statutory basis net assets by $41,277 as of December 31, 1995,
relating primarily to statutory reserves for future

benefits, GAAP deposit accounting receivables and deferred tax liabilities. In
1998, the majority of the former Lyndon's assumed business was recaptured by the
unaffiliated direct writer.

AGGREGATE RESERVES FOR FUTURE BENEFITS AND LIABILITY 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 6%. 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 operations.

INVESTMENTS

    Investments in bonds are carried at amortized cost. Bonds that 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.
Short-term investments consist of money market funds and are stated at cost,
which approximates fair value. Common stocks are carried at fair value with the
current year change in the difference from cost reflected in surplus. Other
invested assets are generally recorded at fair value.

    The Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of an
overall risk management strategy. These instruments, including interest rate and
foreign currency swaps, caps, and floors are used as a means of hedging exposure
to price, foreign currency and/or interest rate risk on planned investment
purchases or existing assets and liabilities. The Company does not hold or issue
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives must be
designated at inception as a hedge measured for effectiveness both at inception
and on an ongoing basis. The Company's correlation threshold for hedge
designation is 80% to 120%. If correlation, which is assessed monthly and
measured based on a rolling three month average, falls outside the 80% to 120%
range, hedge accounting will be terminated.

    Interest rate swaps involve the periodic exchange of payments without the
exchange of underlying principal or notional amounts. Net receipts or payments
are accrued and recognized over the life of the swap agreement as an adjustment
to net investment income. Should the swap be terminated the gains or losses are
adjusted into the basis of the asset or liability and amortized over the
remaining life. Should the hedged asset be sold or liability terminated without
terminating the swap position, any swap gains or losses are immediately
recognized in net investment income. Interest rate swaps purchased in
anticipation of an asset purchase ("anticipatory transaction") are recognized
consistent with the underlying asset components such that the settlement
component is recognized in the statutory basis statements of operations while
the change in market value is recognized as an unrealized gain or loss. Foreign
currency swaps are similar to interest rate swaps except there is an initial
exchange of principal in two currencies and an agreement to re-exchange the
currencies at a future date, at an agreed upon exchange rate.

    Premiums paid on purchased floor or cap agreements and the premium received
on issued cap or floor agreements (used for risk management) are adjusted into
the basis of the applicable asset and amortized over the asset life. Gains or
losses on termination of such positions are adjusted into the basis of the asset
or liability and amortized over the remaining asset life. Net payments are
recognized as an adjustment to income or basis adjusted and amortized depending
on the specific hedge strategy.

    Derivatives used to create a synthetic asset must meet synthetic accounting
criteria, including designation at inception and consistency of terms between
the synthetic and the instrument being replicated. Consistent with industry
practice, synthetic instruments are accounted for like the financial instrument
they are intended to replicate. Derivatives which fail to meet risk management
criteria subsequent to acquisition, are accounted for at fair market value with
the impact reflected in the statutory basis statements of operations.

    Open forward commitment contracts are marked to market through surplus. Such
contracts are accounted for at settlement by recording the purchase of specified
securities at the previously committed price. Gains or losses resulting from
termination of the forward commitment contracts before the delivery of the
securities are recognized immediately in the statutory basis statements of
operations as a component of Net Realized Capital Gains, after tax.

    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 increased $8,112 and $6,228
in 1998 and 1997, respectively and decreased $(568) in 1996. 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 life of the mortgage loan
or bond sold. The IMR balance as of December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was
$452 and $(193), respectively and is reflected in Other Liabilities and as a
component of non-admitted assets in Unassigned Funds for each of the years then
ended. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, amortization of IMR
is included in Other Revenues and was $(207), $(85) and $(392), respectively.
Realized capital gains and losses, net of taxes not included in IMR are reported
in the statutory basis statements of operations. Realized investment gains and
losses are determined on a specific identification basis.

OTHER LIABILITIES

    The amount reflected in other liabilities includes a receivable from the
separate accounts of $1,187 million and $923 million as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The balances are classified in accordance with NAIC
prescribed practices.
MORTGAGE LOANS

    Mortgage loans, which are carried at cost and approximate fair value,
include investments in assets backed by mortgage loan pools.

    The amortized cost and estimated fair value of bonds and short-term
investments as of December 31, 1998 by estimated maturity year are shown below.
Asset-backed securities, including mortgage backed securities and
collaterialized mortgage obligations, are distributed to maturity year based on
ILA's estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the
remaining lives of the securities. Expected maturities differ from contractual
maturities due to call or repayment provisions.

    The estimated fair value of bonds and short-term investments was determined
by the Company primarily using NAIC market values. The carrying amounts for
policy loans approximates fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans was
determined by discounting future expected cash flows using interest rates
currently being offered for similar loans. The fair value of liabilities on
investment contracts is determined by forecasting future cash flows and
discounting the forecasted cash flows at current market interest rates.

 3. AGGREGATE RESERVES FOR FUTURE BENEFITS

    The Company's existing reserves consist of life, health, annuity and
supplementary contracts. The Company cedes and assumes insurance to and from
non-affiliated insurers in order to limit its maximum loss. Such transfers do
not relieve the Company or the unaffiliated reinsured of their primary
liabilities. The Company cedes to RGA Reinsurance Company and its affiliate
Employers Reassurance Corporation, on a modified coinsurance basis, 80% of the
variable annuity business written since 1994 and 100% of the variable life and
variable universal life excess sales load refund obligation effective 1998.
There were no material reinsurance recoverables from reinsurers outstanding as
of, and for the years ended, December 31, 1998 and 1997.

31, follows:

reflected as an increase in Gross Paid-In and Contributed Surplus at December
31, 1995. In 1998, the majority of former Lyndon's assumed business was
recaptured by the unaffiliated direct writer. A ceding commission of $25,622 and
change in reserve of $26,404 for the year ended December 31, 1998, is reflected
in Other Revenue and Increase/(Decrease) in Aggregate Reserves for Future
Benefits in the statutory basis statements of operations, respectively.

 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

    Transactions between the Company and its affiliates within The Hartford
relate principally to tax settlements, reinsurance, rental and service fees,
capital contributions and payments of dividends. The Company has also invested
in bonds of its affiliates, Hartford Financial Services Corporation and HL
Investment Advisors, Inc., and common stock of its subsidiary, ITT Hartford
Life, LTD.

 5. 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 filing separate Federal, state and local
income tax returns.

    As long as The Hartford continues to own at least 80% of the combined voting
power and 80% of the value of the outstanding capital stock of HLI, 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 intention of The Hartford and
its non-life subsidiaries to file a single consolidated Federal income tax
return. The life insurance companies will file a separate consolidated Federal
income tax return. Federal income taxes (received) paid by the Company for
operations and capital gains were $25,780, $(14,499) and $29,793 in 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The effective tax rate was 26%, (26)% and 22% in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

    The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
for the three year tax period ending 1995. The audit is not yet complete. As of
December 31, 1998, the Company does not currently expect any material
adjustments to arise from this audit.

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

 6.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 generally
restricted to the greater of 10% of surplus as of the preceding December 31st or
the net gain from operations for the previous year. Dividends are paid as
determined by the Board of Directors and are not cumulative. No dividends were
paid in 1998, 1997 and 1996. The amount available for dividend in 1999 is
$100,541.

 7. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:

    HLI'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. HLI'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, as amended, and the maximum amount that can be deducted
for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Generally, pension costs are funded
through the purchase of affiliated group pension contracts. The cost to HLI was
approximately $9,000 in 1998 and $7,000 in both 1997 and 1996.

    HLI also provides, through The Hartford, certain health care and life
insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. A substantial portion of
HLI's employees may become eligible for these benefits upon retirement. HLI's
contribution for health care benefits will depend on the retiree's date of
retirement and years of service. In addition, the plan has a defined dollar cap
which limits average company contributions. HLI 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. Postretirement health
care and life insurance

benefits expense, allocated by The Hartford, was immaterial to the results of
operations for 1998, 1997 and 1996.

    The assumed rate in the per capita cost of health care (the health care
trend rate) was 7.8% for 1998, decreasing ratably to 5.0% in the year 2003.
Increasing the health care trend rates by one percent per year would have an
immaterial impact on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the
annual expense. To the extent that the actual experience differs from the
inherent assumptions, the effect will be amortized over the average future
service of covered employees.

 8. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS:

    The Company maintains separate account assets and liabilities totaling $32.9
billion and $23.2 billion as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, 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
$360 million, $252 million and $144 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and are recorded as a component of other revenues on the statutory
basis statements of operations.

 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

    As of December 31, 1998, 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 pending and threatened litigation in
the normal course of its business in which claims for monetary and punitive
damages have been asserted. Although there can be no assurances, at the present
time the Company does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising from
such pending or threatened litigation, after consideration of provisions made
for potential losses and costs of defense, will have a material adverse effect
on the statutory capital and surplus of the Company.

    As discussed in Note 5, issues may potentially be raised by the IRS in
future audits of open years. Management does not believe that possible audit
adjustments will have a material effect on the statutory capital and surplus of
the Company.

    Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, insurers licensed to do
business 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 $1,043, $1,544 and $1,262 in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. ILA incurred guaranteed fund expense of $548 in 1998, 1997
and 1996.

Item 29.  Persons Controlled By or Under Common Control with the Depositor or
          Registrant

          Filed herewith as Exhibit (s).

Item 30:  Indemnification

          Under Section 33-772 of the Connecticut General Statutes, unless
          limited by its certificate of incorporation, the Registrant must
          indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or
          otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party
          because he is or was a director of the corporation against
          reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the
          proceeding.

<PAGE>

          The Registrant may indemnify an individual made a party to a
          proceeding because he is or was a director against liability
          incurred in the proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a
          manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
          interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal
          proceeding, had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful.
          Conn. Gen. Stat. Section 33-771(a). Additionally, pursuant to Conn.
          Gen. Stat. Section 33-776, the Registrant may indemnify officers
          and employees or agents for liability incurred and for any expenses
          to which they becomes subject by reason of being or having been an
          employees or officers of the Registrant.  Connecticut law does not
          prescribe standards for the indemnification of officers, employees
          and agents and expressly states that their indemnification may be
          broader than the right of indemnification granted to directors.

          The foregoing statements are specifically made subject to the
          detailed provisions of Section 33-770 et seq.

          Notwithstanding the fact that Connecticut law obligates the
          Registrant to indemnify only a director that was successful on the
          merits in a suit, under Article VIII, Section 2 of the Registrant's
          bylaws, the Registrant must indemnify both directors and officers
          of the Registrant who are parties or threatened to be parties to a
          legal proceeding by reason of his being or having been a director
          or officer of the Registrant for any expenses if he acted in good
          faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
          opposed to the best interests of the company, and with respect to
          criminal proceedings, had no reason to believe his conduct was
          unlawful.  Unless otherwise mandated by a court, no indemnification
          shall be made if such officer or director is adjudged to be liable
          for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
          Registrant.

          Additionally, the directors and officers of Hartford and Hartford
          Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO") are covered under a directors
          and officers liability insurance policy issued to The Hartford
          Financial Services Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  Such policy
          will reimburse the Registrant for any payments that it shall make
          to directors and officers pursuant to law and will, subject to
          certain exclusions contained in the policy, further pay any other
          costs, charges and expenses and settlements and judgments arising
          from any proceeding involving any director or officer of the
          Registrant in his past or present capacity as such, and for which
          he may be liable, except as to any liabilities arising from acts
          that are deemed to be uninsurable.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
          Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors,
          officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
          foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been

<PAGE>

          advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
          Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
          expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
          event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
          (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
          paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
          in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
          asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
          connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
          will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
          settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
          jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
          against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
          by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 31.  Principal Underwriters

          (a)  HESCO acts as principal underwriter for the following investment

RE:  Separate Account VL I
     Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company

Dear Sir/Madam:

I have acted as General Counsel to Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
Company (the "Company"), a Connecticut insurance company, and Hartford Life
and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account VL I (the "Account") in
connection with the registration of an indefinite amount of securities in the
form of flexible premium variable life insurance policies (the "Policies")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.  I have examined such documents (including the Form S-6
Registration Statement) and reviewed such questions of law as I considered
necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such examination and review,
it is my opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing as a
   stock life insurance company under the laws of the State of Connecticut
   and is duly authorized by the Insurance Department of the State of
   Connecticut to issue the Policies.

2. The Account is a duly authorized and validly existing separate account
   established pursuant to the provisions of Section 38a-433 of the
   Connecticut Statutes.

3. To the extent so provided under the Policies, that portion of the
   assets of the Account equal to the reserves and other contract
   liabilities with respect to the Account will not be chargeable with
   liabilities arising out of any other business that the Company may
   conduct.

4. The Policies, when issued as contemplated by the Form S-6 Registration
   Statement, will constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations
   of the Company.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form S-6
Registration Statement for the Policies and the Account.

Sincerely,
/s/ Lynda Godkin
