                                  INTRODUCTION
 
    This  Prospectus has  been designed  to provide  you with  all the necessary
information to make  a decision  on purchasing Contracts  issued in  conjunction
with  Qualified  Pension and  Profit-Sharing Plans,  HR-10 Plans,  Tax- Deferred
Annuity Plans (for public school teachers and employees and employees of certain
other tax-exempt  and qualifying  employers),  deferred compensation  plans  for
state  and  local  governments (the  Contract  reserves for  which  are afforded
qualified plan reserve treatment) and IRA's. This Prospectus describes only  the
elements  of the Contracts  pertaining to the variable  portion of the Contract.
The Contracts may  contain a General  Account Option which  is not described  in
this  Prospectus. Please read the  Glossary of Special Terms  on pages    and
prior to reading this  Prospectus to familiarize yourself  with the terms  being
used.
 
                      THE QP VARIABLE ACCOUNT CONTRACT AND
                   SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO (QP VARIABLE ACCOUNT)
 
WHAT IS THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT QP CONTRACT?
 
    The  Contracts, which  may be  issued on an  individual or  group basis, are
  designed for use only with plans which qualify for special tax treatment under
  a particular  section  of the  Internal  Revenue Code,  such  as  tax-deferred
  annuity  plans  for  public school  teachers  and employees  and  employees of
  certain other  tax-exempt  organizations; pension  and  profit-sharing  plans;
  IRA's,   plans   for   self-employed  individuals   (HR-10's),   and  deferred
  compensation plans for State and local governments.
 
    The group  Contracts are  issued on  an allocated  and non-allocated  basis.
  There  are three forms  of allocated Contracts.  One form is  a group Contract
  issued on a variable accumulation only  basis. The other forms are  individual
  and  group Contracts  which permit both  fixed and  variable accumulations, as
  does the non-allocated Contract.
 
    The group allocated Contracts will cover all present and future Participants
  under the  Contract.  A Participant  under  certain allocated  Contracts  will
  receive  a certificate which evidences participation in the Plan. There are no
  individual allocations for Participants under the non-allocated Contracts.
 
    The group variable  only accumulation Contracts  provide that  Contributions
  made  during the accumulation period may only be invested on a variable basis,
  although Annuity payments may be selected  on a variable basis, a fixed  basis
  or  a  combination of  both.  The terms  and  conditions of  the  Contract are
  essentially the  same as  are applicable  to other  allocated group  Contracts
  described in this Prospectus.
 
    Contract  Owners who have purchased a prior series of Contracts may continue
  to make Contributions to such Contracts subject to the terms and conditions of
  their Contracts. New Participants  may be added to  existing Contracts of  the
  prior  series  but no  new  Contracts of  that  series will  be  issued. Prior
  Contract Owners are referred to the Appendix for a description of such earlier
  Contracts.
 
WHO CAN BUY THESE CONTRACTS?
 
    The Contracts are designed for use in conjunction with Qualified Pension and
  Profit Sharing  Plans, HR-10  Plans, Tax  Deferred Annuity  Plans (for  public
  school  teachers and employees  and employees of certain  other tax exempt and
  qualifying  employers),  deferred  compensation  plans  for  state  and  local
  governments  (the  Contract reserves  for  which are  afforded  qualified plan
  reserve treatment) and IRA's.
 
WHAT IS THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND HOW DOES IT OPERATE?
 
   
    The Separate Account  was established on  June 2, 1986,  in accordance  with
  authorization  by the Board of Directors of  Hartford Life (On March 31, 1988,
  QP Variable  Account was  transferred to  Separate Account  Two and  became  a
  series  thereof.) It is the separate account in which Hartford Life sets aside
  and  invests  the  assets  attributable  to  the  Contracts  sold  under  this
  Prospectus.  Although the  Separate Account  is an  integral part  of Hartford
  Life, it is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company
  Act of 1940. The Separate Account  meets the definition of "separate  account"
  under federal securities law.
    
 
   
    This  registration  does  not,  however,  involve  Securities  and  Exchange
  Commission supervision  of  the  management or  the  investment  practices  or
  policies of the Separate Account or Hartford Life.
    
 
                                       6

    Under  Connecticut law, the  assets of the  Separate Account attributable to
  the Contracts offered under  this Prospectus are held  for the benefit of  the
  owners  of, and the persons entitled to payments under, those Contracts. Also,
  in  accordance  with  the  Contracts,  the  assets  in  the  Separate  Account
  attributable  to  Contracts  participating  in the  Separate  Account  are not
  chargeable with liabilities arising  out of any  other business Hartford  Life
  may  conduct. So, you will  not be affected by the  rate of return of Hartford
  Life's general account, nor by the  investment performance of any of  Hartford
  Life's other separate accounts.
    
 
   
    Your  contribution is allocated to one  or more Sub-Accounts of the Separate
  Account. Each  Sub-Account  is  invested  exclusively in  the  assets  of  one
  underlying  Fund. Contributions and proceeds of transfers between Sub-Accounts
  are applied to  purchase shares  in the appropriate  Fund at  net asset  value
  determined  as of the  end of the  Valuation Period during  which the payments
  were received  or the  transfer  made. All  distributions  from the  Fund  are
  reinvested  at  net  asset value.  The  value  of your  investment  during the
  Accumulation Period will therefore vary in accordance with the net income  and
  fluctuation in the individual investments within the underlying Fund portfolio
  or  portfolios. During the  Variable Annuity payout  period, both your annuity
  payments and reserve values will vary in accordance with these factors.
    
 
   
    HARTFORD LIFE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE INVESTMENT RESULTS OF THE  SUB-ACCOUNTS
  OR  ANY OF THE UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE VALUE OF
  A CONTRACT DURING THE YEARS PRIOR TO RETIREMENT OR THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF THE
  VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS WILL EQUAL THE  SUM OF ALL CONTRIBUTIONS MADE  UNDER
  THE  CONTRACT. SINCE EACH UNDERLYING FUND HAS DIFFERENT INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES,
  EACH IS SUBJECT TO  DIFFERENT RISKS. THESE RISKS  ARE MORE FULLY DESCRIBED  IN
  THE ACCOMPANYING FUND PROSPECTUS.
    
 
   
    Hartford  Life reserves  the right, subject  to compliance with  the law, to
  substitute the  shares of  any  other registered  investment company  for  the
  shares  of any Fund  held by the  Separate Account. Substitution  may occur if
  shares of the Fund(s) become unavailable  or due to changes in applicable  law
  or  interpretations of  law. Current law  requires notification to  you of any
  such substitution  and approval  of the  Securities and  Exchange  Commission.
  Hartford  Life also reserves the right, subject  to compliance with the law to
  offer additional Sub-Accounts with differing investment objectives.
    
 
    The Separate Account may be subject to liabilities arising from series whose
  assets are attributable to other  variable annuity Contracts or variable  life
  insurance  policies offered by the Separate Account which are not described in
  this Prospectus.
 
   
    Hartford Life may  offer additional  Separate Account options  from time  to
  time  under these Contracts. Such  new options will be  subject to the then in
  effect charges, fees, and or transfer restrictions for the Contracts for  such
  additional separate accounts.
    
 
                           OPERATION OF THE CONTRACT
 
HOW IS A CONTRIBUTION CREDITED?
 
   
    Contributions  are payable to Hartford Life by the Contract Owners on behalf
  of the Participant's Individual Accounts under the Contract for the number  of
  years and in the intervals selected, all as set forth in the Contract.
    
 
   
    The  net Contributions to Participant's Individual Accounts under a Contract
  are applied to purchase Accumulation  Units of the selected Sub-Accounts.  The
  number   of  Accumulation  Units  purchased  is  determined  by  dividing  the
  Contributions amount by the  appropriate Accumulation Unit  Value on the  date
  the  Contribution is credited to the Participant's Individual Account. Initial
  Contributions are credited  to a Participant's  Individual Account within  two
  days   of  receipt  of  a  properly  completed  application  and  the  initial
  Contribution.  Subsequent  Contributions  are  credited  to  a   Participant's
  Individual  Account  on  the date  following  receipt of  the  Contribution by
  Hartford Life at its home office,  P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, CT 06104-2999.  If
  an  application,  or  any  other  information  is  incomplete  when  received,
  Contributions will be credited to the Participant's Individual Account  within
  five  business days.  If an initial  Contribution is not  credited within five
  business days, it will be immediately  returned unless you have been  informed
  of  the delay  and request that  the Contribution not  be returned. Subsequent
  payments cannot  be  credited on  the  same day  of  receipt unless  they  are
  accompanied by adequate instructions.
    
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
    The  number of Sub-Account  Accumulation Units will not  change because of a
  subsequent change in the  Accumulation Unit's value, but  the dollar value  of
  the  Accumulation Unit will  vary to reflect the  investment experience of the
  appropriate Fund shares.
 
MAY I MAKE CHANGES IN THE AMOUNTS OF MY CONTRIBUTIONS?
 
   
    The minimum Contribution that  may be made  at any one time  on behalf of  a
  Participant  under a Contract is $30 unless  the Contract Owner provides for a
  lower  amount.  The  Contract  permits  the  allocation  of  Contributions  in
  multiples  of  10%  of each  Contribution  among the  several  Sub-Accounts of
  Separate Account  Two.  The  minimum  amount that  may  be  allocated  to  any
  Sub-Account  in the Separate Account shall not  be less than $10. Such changes
  must be requested in the form and manner prescribed by Hartford Life.
    
 
ARE THERE ANY LIMITS ON CONTRIBUTIONS?
 
   
    With respect to all Contracts, Hartford Life reserves the right to limit any
  increase in the Contributions made to a Participant's Individual Account under
  a Contract to not more than three times the total Contributions made on behalf
  of such account  during the  initial 12  consecutive months  of the  Account's
  existence  under  the  Contract  at the  present  guaranteed  deduction rates.
  Increases in excess of those described will be accepted only with the  consent
  of  Hartford Life  and subject  to the  deductions then  being made  for sales
  charges, the Minimum Death Benefit and for provision of mortality and  expense
  undertaking.
    
 
MAY I TRANSFER ASSETS BETWEEN SUB-ACCOUNTS?
 
    Yes, you may transfer the values of your Sub-Account allocations from one or
  more  Sub-Accounts  to another  subject  to the  terms  and conditions  of the
  Contracts.
 
    The following transfer restrictions apply to Contracts issued or amended  on
  or after May 1, 1992.
 
    Transfers  of assets  presently held in  the General Account,  or which were
  held in the General Account at any time during the preceding 3 months, to  the
  Money  Market  Fund  Sub-Account  or  to  the  U.S.  Government  Money  Market
  Sub-Account are prohibited.
 
    Similarly, transfers  of assets  presently  held in  the Money  Market  Fund
  Sub-Account or U.S. Government Money Market Sub-Account, or which were held in
  either of these two Sub-Accounts or the General Account during the preceding 3
  months, to the General Account are prohibited.
 
   
    The  right,  with respect  to both  the Contract  Owner and  a Participant's
  Individual Account,  to transfer  monies between  Sub-Accounts is  subject  to
  modification  if  Hartford  Life determines,  in  its sole  opinion,  that the
  exercise of that right by the  Contract Owner/Participant is, or would be,  to
  the disadvantage of other Contract Owners/Participants. Any modification could
  be  applied to transfers  to or from the  same or all  of the Sub-Accounts and
  could include, but not be limited to, the requirement of a minimum time period
  between each  transfer, not  accepting transfer  requests of  an agent  acting
  under  a power of attorney on behalf  of more than one Participant or Contract
  Owner,  or  limiting  the  dollar  amount  that  may  be  transferred  between
  Sub-Accounts by a Contract Owner/Participant at any one time.
    
 
   
    Such  restrictions  may  be applied  in  any manner  reasonably  designed to
  prevent any use of the transfer right which is considered by Hartford Life  to
  be  to the disadvantage of  other Contract Owners/Participants. Such transfers
  must be requested in writing and will  be effected as of the date the  request
  is  received by Hartford Life at its home office, P. O. Box 2999, Hartford, CT
  06104-2999.
    
 
MAY I OBTAIN A CONTRACT IN EXCHANGE FOR ANOTHER CONTRACT?
 
   
    Owners of  policies  of  life  insurance and  annuity  Contracts  issued  by
  Hartford  Life or any  other affiliated company of  Hartford Life issuing such
  Contracts  or  policies,  as  well   as  any  Beneficiary,  annuity   Contract
  Participant  or Annuitant under any such policy or Contract, may apply any and
  all of any  such policy or  Contract proceeds, payable  upon the surrender  or
  maturity  of any such  policy or Contract,  to a group  or individual Contract
  with no deductions being made for sales expenses or the Minimum Death  Benefit
  guarantee.  The Minimum  Death Benefit provision  of the Contract  will not be
  applicable to the proceeds of a policy or Contract invested in such a Contract
  purchased   pursuant    to   the    provisions    of   this    section.    Any
    
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
  sums  thus applied  will not  be taken  into consideration  in determining the
  particular  sales  charges   to  be   applied  in  the   case  of   subsequent
  Contributions.  Subsequent Contributions  will, however,  be subject  to sales
  charge and Minimum Death Benefit guarantee deductions.
 
WHAT HAPPENS IF A CONTRACT OWNER FAILS TO MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS?
 
   
    On Contracts  other  than flexible  funding  deferred annuity  Contracts,  a
  Contract  will be deemed paid-up within 30  days after any anniversary date of
  the Contract if the Contract Owner has not remitted a Contribution to Hartford
  Life during the  preceding 12  month period. Effective  with a  change of  the
  Contract  to  paid-up status,  no further  Contributions  will be  accepted by
  Hartford Life and each Participant's Individual Account will be considered  an
  inactive account until the commencement of Annuity payments or until the value
  of  the Participant's Individual Account is disbursed or applied in accordance
  with the  termination provisions  (see  "How can  a  Contract be  redeemed  or
  surrendered?" on page   ). Once a Contract has been placed on a paid-up status
  it  may not be reinstated.  Persons receiving Annuity payments  at the time of
  any change to paid-up status will continue to receive their payments.
    
 
    Individual flexible funding deferred annuity Contracts may be reinstated  to
  an  active status at any time prior  to the selected Annuity Commencement Date
  by the payment of one Purchase Payment.
 
MAY I ASSIGN OR TRANSFER MY CONTRACT?
 
   
    Some forms of Qualified Plans prohibit  the assignment of a Contract or  any
  interest  therein. No assignment will be effective until a copy has been filed
  at the offices of Hartford Life at Hartford, Connecticut, prior to  settlement
  for  Hartford Life's  liability under the  Contract. Hartford  Life assumes no
  responsibility for the validity of any such assignments. Participants may  not
  assign their individual account interests.
    
 
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY ACCOUNT IS WORTH?
 
    The  value of the Accumulation Units in the Separate Account representing an
  interest in the appropriate Fund shares that are held under the Contract  were
  initially established on the date that Contributions were first contributed to
  the  appropriate  Sub-Account  of  the  Separate  Account.  The  value  of the
  respective  Accumulation  Units  for  any  subsequent  day  is  determined  by
  multiplying  the  Accumulation Unit  value for  the preceding  day by  the net
  investment factor of the appropriate investment accounts, as appropriate  (see
  "How is the Accumulation Unit value determined?" below).
 
    The value of a Participant's Individual Account under a Contract at any time
  prior to the commencement of Annuity payments can be determined by multiplying
  the total number of Sub-Account Accumulation Units credited to a Participant's
  Individual  Account by the current Accumulation Unit value for the appropriate
  Sub-Account. There is no assurance that  the value in any of the  Sub-Accounts
  will  equal or  exceed the  Contributions made by  the Contract  Owner to such
  Sub-Accounts.
 
HOW IS THE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE DETERMINED?
 
    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 a  "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 dividends or capital gains by that Fund if the ex-dividend
  date occurs 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
  and subtracting from that amount the amount of any charges assessed during the
  Valuation Period then ending. You should refer to the Prospectuses for each of
  the Funds which accompany this Prospectus for a description of how the  assets
  of  each Fund are valued since each  determination has a direct bearing on the
  Accumulation Unit  value of  the  Sub-Account and  therefore  the value  of  a
  Contract.
 
HOW ARE THE UNDERLYING FUND SHARES VALUED?
 
    The  shares of the  Fund are valued at  net asset value on  a daily basis. A
  complete description of the valuation method  used in valuing Fund shares  may
  be found in the accompanying Prospectus of each Fund.

<PAGE>
                              PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
 
WHAT WOULD MY BENEFICIARY RECEIVE AS DEATH PROCEEDS?
 
   
    The  Contracts provide  that in  the event  the Participant  dies before the
  selected Annuity  Commencement Date  or the  Participant's age  65  (whichever
  occurs  first) the Minimum Death Benefit payable  on such Contract will be the
  greater of (a) the value of the Participant's Account determined as of the day
  written proof of death  of such person  is received by  Hartford Life, or  (b)
  100%  of the total Contributions  made to such Contract,  reduced by any prior
  partial surrenders.
    
 
   
    The Minimum Death Benefit may be taken  by the Beneficiary in a single  sum,
  in  which case payment will  be made within seven days  of receipt of proof of
  death by Hartford Life, unless subject to postponement as explained below.  In
  lieu  of payment  in one  sum, the  Beneficiary may  elect that  the amount be
  applied under any one of the  optional Annuity forms provided. (See "What  are
  the available Annuity options under the Contract?" on page   .)
    
 
   
    An  election to receive Death Benefits under  a form of Annuity must be made
  prior to a lump sum  settlement with Hartford Life  and within one year  after
  the  death by  written notice to  Hartford Life  at its home  office, P.O. Box
  2999, Hartford, Connecticut, 06104-2999.
    
 
    Benefit proceeds due on death may  be applied to provide variable  payments,
  fixed  payments, or a combination of  variable and fixed payments. No election
  to provide Annuity payments will  become operative unless the initial  Annuity
  payment  is at least $20.00 on either a  variable or fixed basis, or $20.00 on
  each basis when  a combination  benefit is elected.  The manner  in which  the
  Annuity payments are determined and in which they may vary from month to month
  are  the  same  as  applicable to  a  Participant's  Individual  Account after
  retirement.
 
HOW CAN A CONTRACT BE REDEEMED OR SURRENDERED?
 
    THERE ARE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON SECTION 403(B) TAX-SHELTERED ANNUITIES. AS
  OF DECEMBER 31,  1988, ALL SECTION  403(B) ANNUITIES HAVE  LIMITS ON FULL  AND
  PARTIAL SURRENDERS. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CONTRACT MADE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1988
  AND ANY INCREASES IN CASH VALUE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1988 MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED
  UNLESS THE CONTRACT OWNER/EMPLOYEE HAS (A) ATTAINED AGE 59 1/2, (B) TERMINATED
  EMPLOYMENT,  (C)  DIED,  (D)  BECOME DISABLED,  OR  (E)  EXPERIENCED FINANCIAL
  HARDSHIP.
 
    DISTRIBUTIONS DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIP OR SEPARATION FROM SERVICE MAY STILL
  BE SUBJECT TO A PENALTY TAX OF 10%.
 
   
    HARTFORD LIFE WILL NOT  ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY  IN DETERMINING WHETHER  A
  WITHDRAWAL  IS  PERMISSIBLE  WITH OR  WITHOUT  TAX PENALTY,  IN  ANY PRACTICAL
  SITUATION; OR IN MONITORING WITHDRAWAL REQUESTS REGARDING PRE OR POST  JANUARY
  1, 1989 ACCOUNT VALUES.
    
 
    INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS
 
    At  any time  prior to  the Annuity  Commencement Date,  the Contract Owner,
  subject to any IRS provisions applicable  thereto, has the right to  surrender
  the value of the Contract in whole or in part.
 
    In  the event of a complete surrender of the Contract Owner's interest under
  an individual Contract, then after deduction  of the Annual Contract Fee  (see
  "Are  there any administrative  charges?" on page    ),  the following options
  shall be available:
 
       1. The termination  value of the  individual Contract may  be applied  to
    provide  for fixed  or variable  Annuity payments  or a  combination thereof
    commencing immediately under the selected Annuity option (see "What are  the
    available Annuity options under the Contract?" on page   ).
 
   
       2.  The termination value of the individual  Contract may be taken in the
    form of a lump sum cash  settlement. The amount received will be  determined
    by  the  value of  the  Individual Account  next  computed after  receipt by
    Hartford Life at its home office, P. O. Box 2999, Hartford, CT 06104-2999 of
    a written  request  for complete  surrender.  The value  of  the  Individual
    Account  may be more  or less than  the amount of  Contributions made to the
    Contract.
    
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
   
       3. The Contract Owner may partially surrender an Individual Account under
    an individual Contract and receive the amount requested as determined by the
    value of the  account next computed  after receipt by  Hartford Life at  its
    home office, P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, CT 06104-2999 of a written request for
    a partial surrender.
    
 
    Any such full or partial surrender described above may affect the continuing
  tax  qualified status of some accounts or  plans and may result in adverse tax
  consequences to  the Contract  Owner. The  Contract Owner,  therefore,  should
  consult with his tax advisor before undertaking any such surrender.
 
    GROUP CONTRACTS
 
    On termination of Contributions to a group Contract by the Contract Owner on
  behalf  of a  Participant's Individual Account  prior to  the selected Annuity
  Commencement Date for such Account, the Contract Owner will have the following
  options:
 
       1. To  continue a  Participant's Individual  Account in  force under  the
    Contract.  Under this  option, when  the selected  Annuity Commencement Date
    arrives, the Participant will  begin to receive  Annuity payments under  the
    selected  Annuity option  under the Contract.  (See "What  are the available
    Annuity options  under the  Contract?" on  page     ). At  any time  in  the
    interim, the Contract Owner or the Participant as appropriate, may surrender
    the  Individual Account for a lump sum cash settlement in accordance with 4.
    below.
 
       2. To provide Annuity payments immediately. The Accumulation Unit  values
    in a Participant's Individual Account may be applied to provide for fixed or
    variable Annuity payments, or a combination thereof, commencing immediately,
    under  the  selected Annuity  Option (see  "What  are the  available Annuity
    options under the Contract?" on page   ).
 
   
       3. To continue to make Contributions under an individual variable annuity
    Contract of the type then being issued by Hartford Life. In this event,  the
    value  of a  Participant's Individual  Account will  be transferred  into an
    individual Contract without any  deductions being made,  but subject to  the
    deductions  applicable  to such  individual  Contract as  to  any subsequent
    payments.
    
 
   
       4. To surrender  a Participant's Individual  Accounts under the  Contract
    for  a lump sum cash settlement. In this event, the Annual Contract Fee will
    be deducted as  described on page    .  On any variable  account the  amount
    received  will be the  net termination value  determined by the Accumulation
    Unit values of the Account next  computed after receipt by Hartford Life  at
    its  home  office, P.  O. Box  2999,  Hartford, CT  06104-2999 of  a written
    request for complete surrender.
    
 
IS A PARTIAL TERMINATION OF A CONTRACT ALLOWED?
 
    If any partial  termination request exceeds  90% of the  present value of  a
Participant's  Individual Account or of the Active Life Fund under a Contract at
the time of a request for withdrawal, such request will be considered a  request
for   complete  termination  of  that  Account   or  Contract,  and  no  further
Contributions may be made for that Participant's Individual Account or Contract.
A request for a partial termination  must specify the allocation of the  partial
termination  between  fixed  and  variable accounts  and  if  from  the variable
accounts, the allocation among the Sub-Accounts. If no allocation is  specified,
the  requested amount is taken out of  all applicable Sub-Accounts on a pro rata
basis.
 
   
    Repayment of any  partial termination  may be made  at any  time before  one
  month  prior  to  the date  on  which Annuity  payments  are to  begin  on the
  Participant's Individual Account. While no deduction will be made for sales or
  Minimum Death  Benefit expenses,  Hartford  Life may  apply its  then  current
  Annuity rates to any such repayment.
    
 
    Except  as  specified above,  no  partial termination  will  directly affect
  future requirements  that  the  Contract Owner  make  stipulated  payments  or
  Contributions  to the Contract, nor the maturity  date of the Contract or of a
  Participant's Individual Account. If the Contract Owner has a plan calling for
  stipulated periodic payments or Contributions,  he may repay amounts  received
  upon  any such partial termination  at the same time  that he makes stipulated
  payments or Contributions, provided that the amount repaid is at least $30.00.
  In making any such repayment the Contract Owner shall specify in writing  that
  such  a  repayment is  being  made, as  well  as how  the  repayment is  to be
  reallocated among Sub-Accounts, otherwise appropriate sales and other expenses
  shall apply to such amounts.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
   
    Payment on request  for any partial  termination will be  made within  seven
  days  of receipt  of the  written request by  Hartford Life  unless subject to
  postponement as explained below.
    
 
   
CAN PAYMENT OF THE REDEMPTION OR SURRENDER VALUE EVER BE POSTPONED BY HARTFORD
LIFE BEYOND THE SEVEN DAY PERIOD?
    
 
    Yes. It may be postponed whenever (a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed,
  except for holidays or weekends, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange  is
  restricted  as determined by  the Securities and  Exchange Commission; (b) the
  Securities and Exchange Commission permits postponement and so orders; or  (c)
  the  Securities and  Exchange Commission  determines that  an emergency exists
  making valuation  of the  amounts  or disposal  of securities  not  reasonably
  practicable.
 
   
    Except  for the above situations, payment  on any request for surrender will
  be made as soon as  possible and in any event  no later than seven days  after
  the written request is received by Hartford Life.
    
 
MAY I SURRENDER ONCE ANNUITY PAYMENTS HAVE STARTED?
 
    Except  with  respect  to Option  5  (on  a variable  payout),  once Annuity
  payments have commenced for an Annuitant, no surrender of the Annuity  benefit
  can  be  made for  the  purpose of  receiving a  lump  sum settlement  in lieu
  thereof. Any surrender out of Option 5 will be subject to contingent  deferred
  sales charges, if applicable.
 
MAY I REINVEST AFTER A REDEMPTION?
 
    Variable  annuity  Contract  Owners who  have  redeemed the  value  of their
  variable Contracts in full  shall have the right  to reinvest the proceeds  of
  redemption in a new variable annuity Contract without any deduction being made
  for  sales charges provided that such  reinvestment is effected within 30 days
  after such redemption. This reinvestment  privilege shall not be available  to
  any Contract Owner who has previously exercised the privilege.
 
CAN A CONTRACT BE SUSPENDED BY A CONTRACT OWNER?
 
   
    A  group Contract may be  suspended by the Contract  Owner by giving written
  notice of such  suspension to Hartford  Life at its  home office in  Hartford,
  Connecticut at least 90 days prior to the effective date of such suspension.
    
 
   
    A  Contract  will  be  suspended automatically  on  its  anniversary  if the
  Contract Owner fails to assent to any modification of a Contract, as described
  under the caption "Can a Contract be modified?" which modifications would have
  become effective on or before that anniversary. Upon suspension, Contributions
  will continue to be accepted by Hartford Life under the Contract, and  subject
  to  the  terms thereof,  as they  are  applicable to  Participant's Individual
  Accounts under the Contracts  prior to such  suspension, but no  Contributions
  will  be  accepted  on behalf  of  any new  Participant's  Individual Account.
  Annuitants at  the time  of  any suspension  will  continue to  receive  their
  Annuity  payments. The suspension of a Contract will not preclude the Contract
  Owner's applying  existing Participant's  Individual Accounts  under  Separate
  Account  Two, as  appropriate, to  the purchase  of Fixed  or Variable Annuity
  benefits.
    
 
HOW DO I ELECT AN ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE AND FORM OF ANNUITY?
 
    The Contract  Owner selects  an  Annuity Commencement  Date and  an  Annuity
option  (see below). The Annuity Commencement Date  may not be deferred beyond a
Participant's 75th birthday or such earlier  date may be required by  applicable
law  and/or regulation. The Annuity Commencement  Date and/or the Annuity option
may be changed from time to time, but  any such change must be made at least  30
days prior to the date on which Annuity payments are scheduled to begin.
 
   
    The  Contracts contain five optional Annuity forms, which may be selected on
  either a  fixed or  variable annuity  basis, or  a combination  thereof. If  a
  Contract  Owner does not elect otherwise,  Hartford Life reserves the right to
  begin Annuity payments  at age  65 under Option  2 with  120 monthly  payments
  certain.  However, Hartford Life will not assume responsibility in determining
  or monitoring minimum distribution beginning at age 70 1/2.

    When an Annuity is  effected under a  Contract, unless otherwise  specified,
  General  Account Accumulation Units will be applied to provide a Fixed Annuity
  and Separate Account Sub-Account Accumulation Units will be applied to provide
  a Variable Annuity.
 
    The Contract Owner should  consider the question  of allocation of  Contract
  values among the Fixed Income Fund Sub-Account, the Stock Fund Sub-Account and
  the  General Account to  make certain that  annuity payments are  based on the
  investment alternative  best suited  to the  Contract Owner's  needs.  Annuity
  payments  may  not  be based  on  the  Money Market  Fund  Sub-Account. Unless
  otherwise directed by a Contract Owner, such interest shall be transferred  to
  the Fixed Income Fund Sub-Account and Stock Fund Sub-Account, and allocated to
  such  Sub-Accounts in the  same proportion as  such interests are  held in the
  Participant's Individual Account.
 
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT I MAY SELECT FOR AN ANNUITY PAYMENT?
 
    The minimum Annuity payment is $20.00. No election may be made which results
  in a first payment of less than $20.00. If at any time Annuity payments are or
  become less than $20.00, Hartford Life  has the right to change the  frequency
  of payment to intervals that will result in payments of at least $20.00.
 
WHAT ARE THE AVAILABLE ANNUITY OPTIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT?
 
    OPTION 1: LIFE ANNUITY
 
    A  Life Annuity is an  Annuity payable during the  lifetime of the Annuitant
  and terminating  with the  last monthly  payment preceding  the death  of  the
  Annuitant.  Life Annuity  options (options  1-4) offers  the maximum  level of
  monthly payments  of any  of the  options since  there is  no guarantee  of  a
  minimum  number of payments nor  a provision for a  death benefit payable to a
  Beneficiary.
 
    It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant to receive only  one
  Annuity  payment  if he  died  prior to  the due  date  of the  second Annuity
  payment, two if he died before the due date of the third Annuity payment, etc.
 
    *OPTION 2: LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120, 180 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN
 
   
    This Annuity Option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of  an
  Annuitant  with the provision that if, at the death of the Annuitant, payments
  have been made  for less than  120, 180 or  240 months, as  elected, then  the
  present  value as of the date of the Participant's death at the current dollar
  amount at the date of death of any remaining guaranteed monthly payments  will
  be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated unless other
  provisions will have been made and approved by Hartford Life.
    
 
    *OPTION 3: UNIT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
 
    This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
  Annuitant  terminating with  the last  payment due prior  to the  death of the
  Annuitant except that an additional payment will be made to the Beneficiary or
  Beneficiaries if (a) below exceeds (b) below:
 
                        total amount applied under the option
 (a)  =                    at the Annuity Commencement Date
         --------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Annuity Unit value at the Annuity Commencement Date
 
         number of Annuity Units represented            number of monthly
 (b)  =  by each monthly Annuity payment made     X     Annuity payments made
 
   
    The amount of the additional payments will be determined by multiplying such
  excess by  the Annuity  Unit value  as  of the  date that  proof of  death  is
  received by Hartford Life.
    
 
    OPTION 4: JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY
 
    An  Annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a
  designated second person, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of  the
  survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the survivor.
 
   
    At  the  Annuitant's  death,  payments  will  continue  to  be  made  to the
  contingent  annuitant,  if  living  for   the  remainder  of  the   contingent
  annuitant's  life. When  the Annuity is  purchased, the  Annuitant elects what
  percentage (50%,  66  2/3%, or  100%)  of  the monthly  annuity  payment  will
  continue to be paid to the contingent annuitant.
    
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
    It  would  be possible  under this  Option for  an Annuitant  and designated
  second person in the event of the common or simultaneous death of the  parties
  to  receive only one payment in  the event of death prior  to the due date for
  the second payment and so on.
 
    *OPTION 5: PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD
 
    An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from
  one to thirty years. Under this  Option, the Contract Owner or Annuitant  may,
  at any time, surrender the Account and receive, within seven days, the current
  value of the account.
 
   
    In  the event of  the Annuitant's death  prior to the  end of the designated
  period, any then remaining balance of proceeds will be paid in one sum to  the
  Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated unless other provisions will have been
  made and approved by Hartford Life.
    
 
HOW ARE ANNUITY PAYMENTS DETERMINED?
 
    The  value of the Annuity Unit for  each Sub-Account in the Separate Account
  for any day is determined  by multiplying the value  for the preceding day  by
  the  product of (1)  the net investment  factor (see "How  is the Accumulation
  Unit value determined?"  commencing on  page    ) for  the day  for which  the
  Annuity  Unit value is  being calculated, and  (2) a factor  to neutralize the
  assumed net investment rate discussed below.
 
    When Annuity  payments  are  to  commence, the  value  of  the  Contract  is
  determined  as the product of  the value of the  Accumulation Unit credited to
  each Sub-Account  as  of the  close  of business  on  the fifth  business  day
  preceding  the  date  the first  Annuity  payment  is due  and  the  number of
  Accumulation Units credited to each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity  is
  to commence.
 
    The  Contract  contains tables  indicating the  dollar  amount of  the first
  monthly payment under the optional forms  of Annuity for each $1,000 of  value
  of  a Sub-Account under a Contract. The first monthly payment varies according
  to the form of Annuity selected. The Contract contains Annuity tables  derived
  from  the 1983a  Individual Annuity Mortality  Table with  an assumed interest
  rate ("A.I.R.") of 4.00% or 5.00%  per annum. The total first monthly  Annuity
  payment,  is determined  by multiplying the  value (expressed  in thousands of
  dollars) of a Sub-Account (less any applicable Premium Taxes) by the amount of
  the first monthly payment per $1,000 of value obtained from the tables in  the
  Contract.  With  respect to  fixed annuities  only, the  current rate  will be
  applied if it is higher than the rate under the tables in the Contracts.
 
    The A.I.R.  assumed in  the  mortality tables  would produce  level  Annuity
  payments  if the net investment rate remained constant. In fact, payments will
  vary up or down in  the proportion that the net  investment rate varies up  or
  down  from the  A.I.R. A  higher assumed  interest rate  may produce  a higher
  initial payment but  more slowly  rising and more  rapidly falling  subsequent
  payments than would a lower interest rate assumption.
 
    The  amount of  the first monthly  Annuity payment,  determined as described
  above, is  divided  by  the value  of  an  Annuity Unit  for  the  appropriate
  Sub-Account  as of the close  of business on the  fifth business day preceding
  the day  on which  the payment  is due  in order  to determine  the number  of
  Annuity  Units represented by the first  payment. This number of Annuity Units
  remains fixed during  the Annuity  Period, and  in each  subsequent month  the
  dollar  amount of the Annuity payment  is determined by multiplying this fixed
  number of Annuity Units by the then current Annuity Unit value.
 
   
* ON QUALIFIED PLANS, OPTIONS 2,  3 AND 5 ARE  AVAILABLE ONLY IF THE  GUARANTEED
  PAYMENT  PERIOD IS LESS THAN THE LIFE  EXPECTANCY OF THE ANNUITANT AT THE TIME
  THE OPTION BECOMES EFFECTIVE.  SUCH LIFE EXPECTANCY SHALL  BE COMPUTED ON  THE
  BASIS  OF THE MORTALITY TABLE PRESCRIBED BY THE IRS, OR IF NONE IS PRESCRIBED,
  THE MORTALITY TABLE THEN IN USE BY HARTFORD LIFE.
    
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNDER ANY OF THE ANNUITY OPTIONS ABOVE,  EXCEPT OPTION 5 (ON A VARIABLE  BASIS),
NO SURRENDERS ARE PERMITTED AFTER ANNUITY PAYMENTS COMMENCE.

    The  Annuity payments will  be made on  the date selected.  The Annuity Unit
  value used in calculating the amount of the Annuity payments will be based  on
  an Annuity Unit value determined as of the close of business on a day not more
  than the fifth business day preceding the date of the Annuity payment.

CAN A CONTRACT BE MODIFIED?
 
   
    Hartford Life reserves the  right to modify the  Contract, but only if  such
  modification:  (i) is necessary  to make the Contract  or the Separate Account
  comply with any  law or regulation  issued by a  governmental agency to  which
  Hartford   Life  is  subject;  or  (ii)   is  necessary  to  assure  continued
  qualification of the Contract  under the Code or  other federal or state  laws
  relating  to retirement annuities or annuity  Contracts; or (iii) is necessary
  to reflect  a  change  in  the  operation  of  the  Separate  Account  or  the
  Sub-Account(s);  or (iv) provides additional  Separate Account options; or (v)
  withdraws Separate  Account options.  In the  event of  any such  modification
  Hartford  Life will provide  notice to the  Contract Owner or  to the payee(s)
  during the Annuity period. Hartford Life may also make appropriate endorsement
  in the Contract to reflect such modification.
    
 
    INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS
 
   
    The Contracts may, subject to any federal and state regulatory restrictions,
  be modified at any  time by written agreement  between the Contract Owner  and
  Hartford Life. No modification will affect the amount or term of any Annuities
  begun  prior to the effective date of  the modification, unless it is required
  to conform the Contract  to, or give  the Contract Owner  the benefit of,  any
  federal  or state  statutes or  any rule  or regulation  of the  U.S. Treasury
  Department or Internal Revenue Service.
    
 
    GROUP CONTRACTS
 
   
    The Contracts may be modified at  any time by written agreement between  the
  Contract  Owner and Hartford  Life. No modification will  affect the amount or
  term of any Annuities begun prior  to the effective date of the  modification,
  unless  it is required to conform the  Contract to, or give the Contract Owner
  the benefit of, any federal  or state statutes or  any rule or regulations  of
  the U.S. Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service.
    
 
   
    On and after the fifth anniversary of any Contract Hartford Life may change,
  from  time to time, any or all of the terms of the group Contract by giving 90
  days advance  notice to  the Contract  Owner, except  that the  mortality  and
  Minimum  Death Benefit undertakings and the  deductions for sales expenses and
  the Annual  Contract Fee  which are  applicable at  the time  a  Participant's
  Individual  Account  is established  under the  Contract  will continue  to be
  applicable except as limited below.
    
 
   
    Hartford Life  may also  modify the  Contract at  any time  with respect  to
  deductions   and  undertakings  enumerated  in   the  preceding  paragraph  on
  Contributions to a Participant's Individual Account  in any year in excess  of
  three  times the total Contributions actually  made to such account during its
  initial 12  consecutive  months  of  participation  under  the  Contract.  The
  deductions and undertakings applicable to such excess Contributions when first
  made  will continue  to be  applicable to  such excess  Contributions each and
  every year they are made.

    COMBINATION INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP ALLOCATED CONTRACTS
 
    These Contracts are issued on an individual and group basis and provide  for
  fixed  (General  Account) and  variable  (Separate Account)  accumulations and
  annuity payouts  and are  generally referred  to as  "combination  Contracts."
  Contributions made on behalf of a Participant's Individual Account pursuant to
  the  terms of the allocated combination Contracts are subject to the following

    Notwithstanding  the above, when an employer  making application for a group
  allocated Contract  where the  annualized  stipulated purchase  payments  with
  respect  to all Participants  is expected to equal  or approximate $250,000 at
  the end of the second anniversary of the Contract, the sales and Minimum Death
  Benefits deduction on the aggregate  Contributions up to and including  $2,500

    GROUP VARIABLE ONLY CONTRACTS
 
    These  Contracts are issued on  a group basis only  and provide for variable
  (Separate Account) accumulations only during the Accumulation Period under the
  Contract and  for  fixed (General  Account)  and variable  (Separate  Account)
  annuity  payouts during the Annuity Period.  The Money Market Fund Sub-Account
  was available under this type of Contract prior to December 7, 1981 only.

* This illustration  does  not assume  the  payment  of any  Premium  Taxes.  No
  deductions  for sales expenses  or the Minimum Death  Benefit are made against
  contributions to the Money Market Fund Sub-Account.
 
    Under the schedules  shown above,  all amounts  contributed on  behalf of  a
  Participant's  Individual Account are aggregated  to determine if a particular
  level of deductions has been reached. Thus, if a Contribution has been made on
  behalf of  a  Participant's  Account  in  the  amount  of  $100.00  and  total
  Contributions  of $2,450 have already been made on a Participant's behalf, the
  first $50.00 of the Contribution will be  subject to a deduction of 7.00%  (as
  in 1. above) and the remainder to a percentage of 3.50%.
 
    COMBINATION NON-ALLOCATED GROUP CONTRACTS
 
    A  non-allocated group annuity Contract is offered which is designed for use
  in conjunction with certain qualified  pension and profit-sharing plans  where
  the  employer has Contracted out the administration of the Plan. The Contracts
  provide for  both  fixed (General  Account)  and variable  (Separate  Account)
  accumulations  and annuity  payouts and are  thus another  form of combination
  Contract.
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
    The Contracts provide for a Contract fee charge of $100 per year and a scale
  of sales charges as follows:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                                                                        <C>
On the first $5,000......................................................       5.00%
On the next $45,000......................................................       3.50%
On the next $50,000......................................................       2.00%
On the excess over $100,000..............................................       1.25%
</TABLE>
 
    The Contracts will be issued to  an employer or the trustee(s) or  custodian
  of  an employer's pension  or profit-sharing plan.  All Contributions are held
  under the Contract, as directed by the Contract Owner. There are no individual
  allocations under the Contracts for  individual Participants in an  employer's
  plan.
 
    With  the exception  of the  Minimum Death  Benefit provision,  which is not
  available on this  Contract, and the  charges described above,  the new  group
  Contracts  have  essentially  the  same  terms  and  provisions  as  the other
  Contracts described in this Prospectus.
 
   
    Hartford Life  makes the  deductions for  the Contracts  as described  above
  pursuant  to  the terms  of the  various agreements  among the  custodian, the
  principal underwriter, and Hartford  Life. Contract distribution expenses  may
  exceed  the deduction for  sales expenses described above.  To the extent that
  they do, they will be borne by Hartford Life.
    
 
ARE THERE ANY DIFFERENCES IN CHARGES MADE?
 
   
    The group Contracts provide  for experience rating.  In order to  experience
  rate  a  Contract,  actual  sales and  administrative  costs  applicable  to a
  particular Contract are determined. If  the costs exceed the amounts  deducted
  for  such expenses,  no additional  deduction will  be made.  If, however, the
  amounts deducted for such expenses exceed actual costs, Hartford Life, in  its
  discretion,  may  allocate  all, a  portion,  or  none of  such  excess  as an
  experience rating credit. If such an allocation is made, the experience credit
  will be  made, as  considered  appropriate: (1)  by  reduction in  the  amount
  deducted  from  subsequent  contributions  for  sales  expenses;  (2)  by  the
  crediting of a number  of additional Accumulation Units  or Annuity Units,  as
  applicable, without deduction of any sales or other expenses therefrom; (3) by
  waiver  of the  Annual Contract Fees;  or (4)  by a combination  of the above.
  Experience rating credits have been given on certain cases.
    
 
   
    Where use of the Contract is appropriate, variable annuity Contracts  issued
  by  Hartford Life may be purchased without a charge for sales or Minimum Death
  Benefit expenses by members of the board and officers of the Funds, or by  any
  trust,  pension, profit-sharing or  other benefit plan for  any such person or
  persons.
    
 
WHAT IS THE MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE?
 
   
    Although variable Annuity  payments made  under the Contracts  will vary  in
  accordance  with the investment performance of the underlying Fund shares held
  in the Sub-Account(s) (note that variable Annuity payments may not be based on
  the Money Market Fund Sub-Account), the  payments will not be affected by  (a)
  Hartford  Life's actual mortality experience among Annuitants after retirement
  or (b)  Hartford  Life's  actual  expenses, if  greater  than  the  deductions
  provided   for  in  the  Contracts  because   of  the  expense  and  mortality
  undertakings by Hartford Life.
    
 
   
    For assuming these  risks under  the Contracts,  Hartford Life  will make  a
  daily  charge against all Contract values held  in the Separate Account at the
  rate of 1.00% per annum on the  Fixed Income Fund and Stock Fund  Sub-Accounts
  and .375% per annum on the Money Market Fund Sub-Account. Such charges may not
  be changed on existing Contracts.
    
 
   
    The  mortality undertaking  provided by  Hartford Life  under the Contracts,
  assuming the selection  of one  of the  forms of  life Annuities,  is to  make
  monthly  Annuity payments (determined in accordance with the annuity table and
  other  provisions  contained   in  the  Contracts)   to  Contract  Owners   on
  Participants'  Individual Accounts  regardless of  how long  a Participant may
  live, and regardless  of how long  all Annuitants  as a group  may live.  This
  undertaking  assures  a  Contract  Owner  that  neither  the  longevity  of  a
  Participant nor  an improvement  in life  expectancy generally  will have  any
  adverse  effect  on the  monthly Annuity  payments it  will receive  under the
  Contract. It thus relieves the Contract Owner from the risk that  Participants
  will outlive funds accumulated.
    
 
   
    The   mortality   undertaking  is   based   on  Hartford   Life's  actuarial
  determination of  expected mortality  rates among  all Annuitants.  If  actual
  experience   among   Annuitants  deviates   from  Hartford   Life's  actuarial
  determination of  expected  mortality rates  among  Annuitants because,  as  a
  group, their longevity is longer than
    
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
   
  anticipated,  Hartford Life  must provide  amounts from  its general  funds to
  fulfill its Contract obligations. In that event, a loss will fall on  Hartford
  Life.  Conversely, if longevity among Annuitants  is lower than anticipated, a
  gain will result to Hartford Life.
    
 
ARE THERE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES?
 
    There will  be an  Annual Contract  Fee  deduction from  the value  of  each
  Participant's Individual Account under the Contracts in the amount of $10.00.
 
    The Annual Contract Fee will be deducted from the value of each such Account
  on the last business day of each calendar year; provided, however, that if the
  value  of a Participant's Individual  Account is redeemed in  full at any time
  before the last business day of the year, then the Annual Contract Fee  charge
  will  be deducted from the  proceeds of such redemption.  No deduction for the
  Annual Contract  Fee  will  be  made  during  the  Annuity  Period  under  the
  Contracts.
 
    In  the event  that the  Contributions made on  behalf of  a Participant are
  allocated partially  to the  General  Account and  partially to  the  Separate
  Account,  the Annual Contract Fee will be charged against the Separate Account
  and General Account on a pro rata basis.
 
HOW MUCH ARE THE DEDUCTIONS FOR PREMIUM TAXES ON THESE CONTRACTS?
 
   
    A deduction is  also made  for Premium Taxes,  if applicable,  imposed by  a
  state  or  other governmental  entity. Certain  states  impose a  Premium Tax,
  currently ranging up to 3.50%. Some states assess the tax at the time purchase
  payments are  made;  others assess  the  tax  at the  time  of  annuitization.
  Hartford Life will pay Premium Taxes at the time imposed under applicable law.
  At its sole discretion, Hartford Life may deduct Premium Taxes at the time the
  taxes are paid, the Contract is surrendered, or the Contract annuitizes.
    
 
                        HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                                 AND THE FUNDS
 
   
WHAT IS HARTFORD LIFE?
    
 
   
    Hartford   Life   Insurance   Company  ("Hartford   Life")   was  originally
  incorporated under  the  laws  of  Massachusetts  on  June  5,  1902.  It  was
  subsequently  redomiciled to Connecticut. It is a stock life insurance company
  engaged in the business of writing health and life insurance, both  individual
  and  group, in all states  of the United States  and the District of Columbia.
  The offices of Hartford  Life are located  in Simsbury, Connecticut;  however,
  its mailing address is P.O. Box 5085, Hartford, CT 06102-5085.
    
 
   
    Hartford  Life is ultimately 100% owned  by Hartford Fire Insurance Company,
  one of the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United States.  On
  December  20,  1995, Hartford  Fire Insurance  Company became  an independent,
  publicly traded corporation.
    
 
   
    Hartford Life is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc., on  the
  basis  of its financial soundness and  operating performance. Hartford Life is
  rated AA+ by both Standard  & Poor's and Duff and  Phelps on the basis of  its
  claims paying ability.
    
 
    These  ratings  do not  apply to  the performance  of the  Separate Account.
  However, the  contractual  obligations under  this  variable annuity  are  the
  general  corporate obligations  of Hartford  Life. These  ratings do  apply to
  Hartford Life's ability to meet its insurance obligations under the contracts.
 
WHAT ARE THE FUNDS?
 
    Hartford Stock Fund,  Inc. was organized  on March 11,  1976. Hartford  Bond
  Fund, Inc. and HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. were organized on December 1, 1982.
  All of the Funds were incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland and
  are collectively referred to as the "Funds."
 
    The investment objectives of each of the Funds are as follows:
 
    HARTFORD BOND FUND, INC.
 
    To achieve maximum current income consistent with preservation of capital by
  investing primarily in fixed-income securities.
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
    HARTFORD STOCK FUND, INC.
 
    To  achieve long-term capital growth primarily through capital appreciation,
  with income a secondary consideration, by investing in equity-type securities.
 
    HVA MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.*
 
    To achieve maximum current income consistent with liquidity and preservation
  of capital  by investing  in money  market  securities. (*  This Fund  is  not
  available under Contracts issued on or after December 7, 1981.)
 
ALL FUNDS
 
   
    The  Funds are available only to serve  as the underlying investment for the
  variable life  insurance and  variable annuity  Contracts issued  by  Hartford
  Life.
    
 
   
    It  is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
  annuity separate accounts  and variable  life insurance  separate accounts  to
  invest  in the Funds  simultaneously. Although Hartford Life  and the Funds do
  not currently  foresee  any  such disadvantages  either  to  variable  annuity
  Contract  Owners or variable life insurance  Policyowners, the Funds' Board of
  Directors intends  to  monitor  events  in  order  to  identify  any  material
  conflicts  between such Contract Owners and Policyowners and to determine what
  action, if any, should be taken in response thereto. If the Board of Directors
  of the Funds were  to conclude that separate  funds should be established  for
  variable  life and  variable annuity  separate accounts,  the variable annuity
  Contract Owners would not bear any expenses attendant to the establishment  of
  such  separate funds, but  variable annuity Contract  Owners and variable life
  insurance Policyowners would no longer  have the economies of scale  resulting
  from a larger combined fund.
    
 
   
    Hartford  Life reserves  the right, subject  to compliance with  the law, to
  substitute the  shares of  any  other registered  investment company  for  the
  shares  of any Fund  held by the  Separate Account. Substitution  may occur if
  shares of the Fund(s) become unavailable  or due to changes in applicable  law
  or  interpretations of  law. Current law  requires notification to  you of any
  such substitution  and approval  of the  Securities and  Exchange  Commission.
  Hartford  Life also reserves the right, subject  to compliance with the law to
  offer additional Funds with differing investment objectives.
    
 
   
    The Hartford Investment Management Company serves as investment manager  for
  Hartford  Stock Fund  pursuant to  an Investment  Management Agreement between
  each, and serves as Investment Adviser for HVA Money Market Fund and  Hartford
  Bond   Fund  pursuant  to  an  Investment  Advisory  Agreement  between  each.
  Wellington   Management   Company   ("Wellington   Management")   serves    as
  sub-investment  adviser to  Hartford Stock  Fund pursuant  to a Sub-Investment
  Advisory Agreement between Wellington  Management and HIMCO  on behalf of  the
  fund.
    
 
   
    A full description of the Funds, their investment policies and restrictions,
  risks,  charges  and expenses  and all  other aspects  of their  operations is
  contained in  the  accompanying Funds'  Prospectus  which should  be  read  in
  conjunction with this Prospectus before investing, and in the Funds' Statement
  of Additional Information which may be ordered from Hartford Life.
    
 
                           FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES WHICH AFFECT THESE CONTRACTS?
 
    A. GENERAL
 
    SINCE  THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY ACCORDING
  TO THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE CONTRACT OWNER INVOLVED AND THE TYPE OF PLAN UNDER
  WHICH THE CONTRACT  IS PURCHASED,  LEGAL AND  TAX ADVICE  MAY BE  NEEDED BY  A
  PERSON,  EMPLOYER OR  OTHER ENTITY  CONTEMPLATING THE  PURCHASE OF  A CONTRACT
  DESCRIBED HEREIN.
 
    It should be understood that any detailed description of the federal  income
  tax  consequences regarding the purchase of  these Contracts cannot be made in
  this Prospectus and that special tax  rules may be applicable with respect  to
  certain  purchase situations not discussed herein. For detailed information, a
  qualified tax adviser should always be consulted. This discussion is based  on
  Hartford  Life's understanding of current federal  income tax laws as they are
  currently interpreted.
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
    B. TAXATION OF HARTFORD LIFE AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
    The Separate Account is taxed as part  of Hartford Life which is taxed as  a
  life  insurance company in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code ("Code").
  Accordingly, the Separate Account will not be taxed as a "regulated investment
  company" under subchapter M  of the Code. Investment  income and any  realized
  capital  gains on the  assets of the  Separate Account are  reinvested and are
  taken into account in  determining the value of  the Accumulation and  Annuity
  Units.  (See "How  is the Accumulation  Unit value  determined?" commencing on
  page   .) As a result,  such investment income and realized capital gains  are
  automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract.
 
    No  taxes are due on interest, dividends and short-term or long-term capital
  gains  earned  by  the   Separate  Account  with   respect  to  qualified   or
  non-qualified Contracts.
 
   
    C. INFORMATION REGARDING TAX-QUALIFIED PLANS
    
 
   
    The  tax  rules  applicable  to  tax  qualified  contract  owners, including
  restrictions on contributions and distributions, taxation of distributions and
  tax penalties, vary according  to the type  of plan as well  as the terms  and
  conditions   of  the  plan   itself.  Various  tax   penalties  may  apply  to
  contributions in excess  of specified  limits, to distributions  in excess  of
  specified  limits, distributions which do not satisfy certain requirements and
  certain other transactions with respect to qualified plans. Accordingly,  this
  summary  provides only general information about the tax rules associated with
  use of the Contract  by a qualified plan.  Contract owners, plan  participants
  and  beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights and benefits of any person to
  benefits are controlled by the terms and conditions of the plan regardless  of
  the  terms and conditions of the Contract. Some qualified plans are subject to
  distribution and other requirements which  are not incorporated into  Hartford
  Life's  administrative procedures. Owners,  participants and beneficiaries are
  responsible  for  determining  that  contributions,  distributions  and  other
  transactions  comply with applicable  law. Because of  the complexity of these
  rules, owners, participants and beneficiaries are encouraged to consult  their
  own tax advisors as to specific tax consequences.
    
 
   
    1. QUALIFIED PENSION PLANS
    
 
   
    Provisions  of the  Code permit eligible  employers to  establish pension or
  profit sharing plans (described in  Section 401(a) and 401(k), if  applicable,
  and  exempt from  taxation under Section  501(a) of the  Code), and Simplified
  Employee Pension Plans (described in  Section 408(k)). Such plans are  subject
  to  limitations on the amount that may  be contributed, the persons who may be
  eligible and the  time when distributions  must commence. Corporate  employers
  intending  to use  these contracts in  connection with such  plans should seek
  competent advice.
    
 
   
    2. TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 403(B)
    
 
   
    Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees  of
  certain   types  of  charitable,   educational  and  scientific  organizations
  specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to purchase annuity contracts, and,
  subject to certain limitations, exclude such contributions from gross  income.
  Generally,  such contributions may not  exceed the lesser of  $9,500 or 20% of
  the employees  "includable compensation"  for  his most  recent full  year  of
  employment,  subject to other  adjustments. Special provisions  may allow some
  employees to elect a different overall limitation.
    
 
   
    Tax-sheltered annuity  programs  under  Section  403(b)  are  subject  to  a
  PROHIBITION   AGAINST   DISTRIBUTIONS  FROM   THE  CONTRACT   ATTRIBUTABLE  TO
  CONTRIBUTIONS MADE  PURSUANT  TO  A SALARY  REDUCTION  AGREEMENT  unless  such
  distribution is made:
    
 
   
    (a) after the participating employee attains age 59 1/2;
    
 
   
    (b) upon separation from service;
    
 
   
    (c) upon death or disability, or
    
 
   
    (d) in the case of hardship.
    
 
   
    The above restrictions apply to distributions of employee contributions made
  after  December 31,  1988, earnings  on those  contributions, and  earnings on
  amounts attributable to employee contributions  held as of December 31,  1988.
  They  do  not  apply  to  distributions of  any  employer  or  other after-tax
  contributions, employee contributions made on or before December 31, 1988, and
  earnings credited to employee contributions before December 31, 1988.
    
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
   
    3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS UNDER SECTION 457
    
 
   
    Employees and independent contractors performing services for such employers
  may contribute on  a before  tax basis to  the Deferred  Compensation Plan  of
  their  employer in accordance with the employer's  plan and Section 457 of the
  Code. Section 457 places limitations on contributions to Deferred Compensation
  Plans maintained by a State ("State"  means a State, a political  sub-division
  of  a  State,  and  an  agency or  instrumentality  of  a  State  or political
  sub-division of  a State)  or other  tax-exempt organization.  Generally,  the
  limitation  is 33 1/3% of includable  compensation (25% of gross compensation)
  or $7,500,  whichever  is less.  The  plan  may also  provide  for  additional
  "catch-up"   deferrals  during  the  three   taxable  years  ending  before  a
  Participant attains normal retirement age.
    
 
   
    An employee electing  to participate in  a plan should  understand that  his
  rights  and benefits are governed strictly by  the terms of the plan, that the
  employer is legal owner of  any contract issued with  respect to the plan  and
  that  deferred  amounts  will  be  subject to  the  claims  of  the employer's
  creditors. The employer  as owner of  the contract(s) retains  all voting  and
  redemption  rights which may accrue to  the contract(s) issued with respect to
  the plan. The participating employee should look to the terms of his plan  for
  any  charges in regard to participating  therein other than those disclosed in
  this Prospectus.
    
 
   
    Distributions from a Section 457  Deferred Compensation Plan are  prohibited
  unless  made after the participating employee attains the age specified in the
  plan, separates from service, dies,  becomes permanently and totally  disabled
  or  suffers an unforeseeable financial emergency. Present federal tax law does
  not allow tax-free transfers or rollovers for amounts accumulated in a Section
  457 plan except for transfers to other Section 457 plans in limited cases.
    
 
   
    4. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 408
    
 
   
    Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to establish individual
  retirement programs through  the purchase of  Individual Retirement  Annuities
  ("IRAs").  IRAs  are  subject  to  limitations  on  the  amount  that  may  be
  contributed, the contributions that may  be deducted from taxable income,  the
  persons  who may  be eligible  and the  time when  distributions may commence.
  Also, distributions from  certain qualified  plans may be  "rolled-over" on  a
  tax-deferred basis into an IRA.
    
 
   
    5. TAX PENALTIES
    
 
   
    Distributions  from retirement plans are generally taxed under Section 72 of
  the Code. Under these rules, a portion of each distribution may be  excludable
  from  income. The excludable  amount is the portion  of the distribution which
  bears the  same ratio  as the  after-tax contributions  bear to  the  expected
  return.
    
 
   
    A. PREMATURE DISTRIBUTION
    
 
   
    Distributions  from  a qualified  plan  before the  Participant  attains age
  59 1/2 are generally subject to an additional tax equal to 10% of the  taxable
  portion  of the distribution. The 10%  penalty does not apply to distributions
  made after the employee's death, on account of disability and distributions in
  the form  of a  life  annuity and,  except  in the  case  of an  IRA,  certain
  distributions  after separation  from service at  or after age  55 and certain
  distributions for eligible medical  expenses. A life annuity  is defined as  a
  scheduled series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life or life
  expectancy  of the Participant (or the joint lives or life expectancies of the
  Participant and Beneficiary).
    
 
   
    B. MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION TAX
    
 
   
    If the amount distributed is less than the minimum required distribution for
  the year, the Participant is subject to a  50% tax on the amount that was  not
  properly distributed.
    
 
   
    An  individual's interest in a retirement plan must generally be distributed
  or begin to  be distributed not  later than April  1 of the  calendar year  in
  which  the  individual attains  age 70  1/2  ("required beginning  date"). The
  required beginning  date  with respect  to  certain government  plans  may  be
  further  deferred. The entire interest of  the Participant must be distributed
  beginning no later than this required  beginning date over a period which  may
  not  extend beyond a maximum  of the life expectancy  of the Participant and a
  designated Beneficiary.  Each  annual  distribution must  equal  or  exceed  a
  "minimum  distribution  amount" which  is determined  by dividing  the account
  balance by the applicable life  expectancy. This account balance is  generally
  based  upon the account value as  of the close of business  on the last day of
  the previous  calendar  year.  In addition,  minimum  distribution  incidental
  benefit rules may require a larger annual distribution.
    
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
   
    If  an individual dies  before reaching his or  her required beginning date,
  the individual's entire  interest must  generally be  distributed within  five
  years  of the individuals death. However,  this rule will be deemed satisfied,
  if distributions begin  before the close  of the calendar  year following  the
  individual's death to a designated Beneficiary (or over a period not extending
  beyond  the life  expectancy of  the beneficiary).  If the  Beneficiary is the
  individual's  surviving  spouse,  distributions  may  be  delayed  until   the
  individual would have attained age 70 1/2.
    
 
   
    If  an individual dies after reaching his  or her required beginning date or
  after distributions have commenced,  the individual's interest must  generally
  be  distributed at  least as  rapidly as under  the method  of distribution in
  effect at the time of the individual's death.
    
 
   
    C. EXCESS DISTRIBUTION TAX
    
 
   
    If the aggregate  distributions from  all IRAs and  certain other  qualified
  plans  in a calendar year exceed the greater of (i) $150,000, or (ii) $112,500
  as indexed for inflation ($155,000  as of January 1,  1996), a penalty tax  of
  15% is generally imposed on the excess portion of the distribution.
    
 
   
    D. WITHHOLDING
    
 
   
    Periodic  distributions from a qualified plan lasting  for a period of 10 or
  more years  are generally  subject to  voluntary income  tax withholding.  The
  recipient   of  periodic  distributions  may   generally  elect  not  to  have
  withholding apply or  to have  income taxes withheld  at a  different rate  by
  providing  a completed election  form. Otherwise, the  amount withheld on such
  distributions is  determined  at  the  rate applicable  to  wages  as  if  the
  recipient were married claiming three exemptions.
    
 
   
    Nonperiodic  distributions from an IRA are subject to income tax withholding
  at a flat 10% rate. The recipient may elect not to have withholding apply.
    
 
   
    Nonperiodic distributions from other  qualified plans are generally  subject
  to  mandatory  income tax  withholding at  the  flat rate  of 20%  unless such
  distributions are:
    
 
   
    1)  the non-taxable portion of the distribution;
    
 
   
    2)  required minimum distributions;
    
 
   
    3)  eligible rollover distributions.
    
 
   
    Eligible rollover distributions are direct payments to an IRA or to  another
  qualified employer plan.
    
 
   
    Any  distribution from plans described in Section 457 of the Code is subject
  to regular wage withholding rules.
    
 
   
    D. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
    
 
   
    Section 817 of the Code provides  that a variable annuity contract will  not
  be  treated as an annuity contract for any period during which the investments
  made by the separate account or underlying fund are not adequately diversified
  in accordance with  regulations prescribed  by the Treasury  Department. If  a
  Contract  is not treated  as an annuity  contract, the Contract  Owner will be
  subject to income tax on the annual increases in cash value.
    
 
   
    The  Treasury  Department  has  issued  diversification  regulations   which
  generally  require, among other things, that no  more than 55% of the value of
  the total  assets  of the  segregated  assets account  underlying  a  variable
  contract is represented by any one investment, no more than 70% is represented
  by  any  two  investment,  no  more  than  80%  is  represented  by  any three
  investments, and no more than 90%  is represented by any four investments.  In
  determining  whether the diversification standards  are met, all securities of
  the same issuer,  all interests  in the same  real property  project, and  all
  interests  in the same commodity  are each treated as  a single investment. In
  addition, in  the case  of government  securities, each  government agency  or
  instrumentality shall be treated as a separate issuer.
    
 
   
    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 comply within a reasonable period and avoid  the
  taxation  of contract income on an  ongoing basis. However, either the company
  or the Contract  Owner must agree  to pay the  tax due for  the period  during
  which the diversification requirements were not met.
    
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
   
    Hartford  Life monitors the  diversification of investments  in the separate
  accounts and tests for diversification as required by the Code. Hartford  Life
  intends   to  administer   all  contracts   subject  to   the  diversification
  requirements in a manner that will maintain adequate diversification.
    
 
   
    E. OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
    
 
   
    In order for a variable annuity contract to qualify for tax deferral, assets
  in the  segregated asset  accounts supporting  the variable  contract must  be
  considered  to  be owned  by the  insurance  company and  not by  the variable
  contract owner.  The  Internal  Revenue Service  ("IRS")  has  issued  several
  rulings  which discuss investor  control. The IRS has  ruled that incidents of
  ownership by the  contract owner, such  as the ability  to select and  control
  investments in a separate account, will cause the contract owner to be treated
  as the owner of the assets for tax purposes.
    
 
   
    Further,  in the  explanation to  the temporary  Section 817 diversification
  regulations, the Treasury Department noted 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, no  other such  guidance has  been issued. Further,
  Hartford Life does not know if or  in what form such guidance will be  issued.
  In  addition,  although  regulations  are  generally  issued  with prospective
  effect, it is possible that regulations may be issued with retroactive effect.
  Due to the lack of specific guidance regarding the issue of investor  control,
  there is necessarily some uncertainty regarding whether a Contract Owner could
  be considered the owner of the assets for tax purposes. Hartford Life reserves
  the  right to modify  the contracts, as necessary,  to prevent Contract Owners
  from being considered the owners of the assets in the separate accounts.
    
 
   
    F. NON-NATURAL PERSONS, CORPORATIONS
    
 
   
    The annual increase in the value of the Contract is currently includable  in
  gross income of a non-natural person. There is an exception for annuities held
  by  structured settlement  companies and  annuities held  by an  employer with
  respect to  a  terminated  pension  plan. A  non-natural  person  which  is  a
  tax-exempt  entity for federal tax purposes will  not be subject to income tax
  as a result of this provision.
    
 
   
    G. ANNUITY PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
    
 
   
    The discussion  above provides  general information  regarding U.S.  federal
  income  tax  consequences  to annuity  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 annuity distributions
  at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may
  be subject to state premium tax, other 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  advisor
  regarding  U.S.,  state,  and  foreign taxation  with  respect  to  an annuity
  purchase.
    
 
                                 MISCELLANEOUS
 
WHAT ARE MY VOTING RIGHTS?
 
   
    Hartford Life  shall notify  the Contract  Owner of  any Fund  shareholders'
  meeting  if the shares held for the  Contract Owner's accounts may be voted at
  such meetings. Hartford  Life shall also  send proxy materials  and a form  of
  instruction  by means of  which the Contract Owner  can instruct Hartford Life
  with respect to the voting  of the Fund shares  held for the Contract  Owner's
  account.  In connection with  the voting of  Fund shares held  by it, Hartford
  Life shall arrange  for the  handling and  tallying of  proxies received  from
  Contract  Owners.  Hartford  Life as  such,  shall  have no  right,  except as
  hereinafter provided, to vote any Fund  shares held by it hereunder which  may
  be  registered in its name  or the names of  its nominees. Hartford Life will,
  however, vote the Fund shares held  by it in accordance with the  instructions
  received from the Contract
    
 
                                       23

  Owners  for  whose accounts  the Fund  shares  are held.  If a  Contract Owner
  desires to attend any  meeting at which shares  held for the Contract  Owner's
  benefit  may be voted, the Contract Owner may request Hartford Life to furnish
  a proxy or otherwise arrange for the exercise of voting rights with respect to
  the Fund shares held for such Contract Owner's account. In the event that  the
  Contract   Owner  gives  no  instructions  or  leaves  the  manner  of  voting
  discretionary, Hartford Life will  vote such shares  of the appropriate  Fund,
  including any of its own shares, in the same proportion as shares of that Fund
  for which instructions have been received.
    
 
    Every  Participant  under a  group  Contract who  has  a full  (100%) vested
  interest under a group  Contract, shall receive proxy  material and a form  of
  instruction  by means  of which Participants  may instruct  the Contract Owner
  with  respect  to  the  number   of  votes  attributable  to  his   individual
  participation under a group Contract.
 
    A  Contract Owner or Participant, as appropriate, is entitled to one full or
  fractional vote  for each  full  or fractional  Accumulation or  Annuity  Unit
  owned.  The  Contract  Owner has  voting  rights  throughout the  life  of the
  Contract.  The  vested  Participant   has  voting  rights   for  as  long   as
  participation in the Contract continues. Voting rights attach only to Separate
  Account interests.
 
    During the Annuity period under a Contract the number of votes will decrease
  as the assets held to fund Annuity benefits decrease.

A.  DEDUCTIONS FOR SALES EXPENSES, MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT AND ADMINISTRATIVE
    EXPENSES.
 
    Purchase Payments made pursuant to the terms of the individual Contracts are
  subject to a deduction of 8.5%. Of the 8.5%, 6% is for sales expense, 1.75% is

B. OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO ANNUITANT
 
   
    Unless  prohibited  by   an  endorsement  to   the  Contract,  the   Annuity
  Commencement  Date may be the  first day of any  month between the Annuitant's
  50th and 75th  birthdays, but  in the  absence of  a written  election to  the
  contrary,  Hartford Life reserves  the right to begin  Annuity payments at age
  65.
    
 
    Unless prohibited by an endorsement to the Contract, the Contract Owner  may
  elect  to have the Termination Value  applied on the Annuity Commencement Date
  under any one of the six Annuity  Options described below, but in the  absence
  of  such election the Termination Value  on the Annuity Commencement Date will
  be applied under the Second Option to provide a Life Annuity with 120  Monthly
  Payments  Guaranteed. The Termination Value applied is determined on the basis
  of the accumulation unit  value on the fifth  business day preceding the  date
  annuity payments commence.
 
   
    Election of any of these options including any optional Annuity Commencement
  Date  must be made by notice in writing to Hartford Life at its Home Office at
  least 30 days prior to the date such election is to become effective.
    
 
    Date of Payment--The first payment under the Deposit Option shall be made at
  the end of  the period selected,  measured from  the date of  approval of  the
  claim  for settlement. The first payment under  any other option shall be made
  immediately upon approval  of claim  for settlement,  and subsequent  payments
  shall be made periodically in accordance with the manner of payment elected.
 
C. OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO BENEFICIARY
 
   
    The  Contract Owner, or in  the case the Contract  Owner shall not have done
  so, the Beneficiary after  the death of  the Annuitant, may  elect in lieu  of
  payment in one sum, that any amount or part thereof due by Hartford Life under
  the  Contract to the Beneficiary be applied under any of the Options described
  below. Such election  must be  made within  one year  after the  death of  the
  Annuitant by written notice to Hartford Life at its Home Office.

  last payment due prior to the death of the payee.
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
    SECOND OPTION--LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120, 180 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED
 
    An annuity payable monthly  during the lifetime of  the payee including  the
  guarantee that if, at the death of the payee, payments have been made for less
  than  120 months, 180  months or 240  months (as selected),  payments shall be
  continued to the Beneficiary during the  remainder of the selected period.  If
  the  Beneficiary  dies while  receiving payments  under this  option or  if no
  Beneficiary is designated, a lump sum payment shall be made.
 
    THIRD OPTION--UNIT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
 
    An annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the payee ceasing with the
  last payment due prior to the death of the payee, provided that, at the  death
  of  the payee, the Beneficiary will receive  an additional payment of the then
  dollar value of the number  of annuity units equal to  the excess, if any,  of
  (a) over (b) where (a) is the total amount applied under the option divided by
  the  annuity unit value at  the effective date of  annuity payments and (b) is
  the number of  annuity units  represented by  each payment  multiplied by  the
  number of payments made.
 
    FOURTH OPTION--JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY
 
    An  annuity payable  monthly during  the joint lifetime  of the  payee and a
  secondary payee, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the survivor,
  ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the survivor.
 
    FIFTH OPTION--PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD
 
    An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from
  1 to 30 years.
 
    SIXTH OPTION--PAYMENTS OF A SPECIFIED DOLLAR AMOUNT
 
    The amount  due may  be  paid in  equal  annual, semi-annual,  quarterly  or
  monthly  installments of a designated dollar  amount (not less than $75.00 per
  annum per $1,000 of  the original amount due)  until the remaining balance  is
  less than the amount of one installment. To determine the remaining balance in
  either  Account at the end of any valuation  period such balance at the end of
  the previous period is decreased by the amount of any installment paid  during
  the  period and  the result  multiplied by the  net investment  factor for the
  period. If the remaining balance  at any time is less  than the amount of  one
  installment, such balance will be paid and will be the final payment under the
  option.
 
    DEPOSIT OPTION--INVESTMENT INCOME
 
    The  amount due  may be left  on deposit  with Hartford Life  in its General
  Account and a sum will be paid annually, semi-annually, quarterly or  monthly,
  as  selected, which shall be  equal to the net  investment rate for the period
  multiplied by the amount remaining on deposit.
 
E. ALLOCATION OF ANNUITY
 
    At the time election of one of  the first five Annuity Options is made,  the
  person  electing the  option may further  elect to have  the Termination Value
  (amount due) applied to provide a variable annuity, a fixed dollar annuity  or
  a  combination of both. An  election of the Sixth  Option may specify that the
  net investment factor for  the Separate Account or  the General Account is  to
  apply  or the amount due may be split between the two Accounts. If no election
  is made to  the contrary, that  portion of  the amount due  from the  Separate
  Account shall be applied to provide a variable annuity and that portion of the
  amount due from the General Account shall be applied to provide a fixed dollar
  annuity.  Election of  the Deposit Option  shall constitute  election of fixed
  income.
 
F. CONTRIBUTIONS
 
    The minimum contribution under the Contract is $20.00.
 
GROUP FRONT END LOAD CONTRACTS
 
A. DEDUCTIONS FOR SALES EXPENSES AND MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT

  subject  to a deduction of 6%. Of the  6%, 5.25% is for sales expense and .75%
  is for the minimum death benefit.

B. ELECTION OF OPTIONAL ANNUITIES
 
    A Participant may elect to have his payments made under any of the  Optional
  Annuity  Forms provided such election is  received in writing by Hartford Life
  at its Home Office at least 30 days prior to his Annuity Commencement Date. If
  no such election is given to Hartford Life, the Annuity will be a Life Annuity
  with 120 Payments Guaranteed as described in Option 2.
 
C. OPTIONAL ANNUITY FORMS
 
    OPTION 1--LIFE ANNUITY
 
    An annuity  payable  monthly  during  the  lifetime  of  the  Annuitant  and
  terminating  with  the  last  monthly  payment  preceding  the  death  of  the
  Annuitant.
 
    OPTION 2--LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120 OR 180 MONTHLY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED
 
   
    An annuity payable  monthly during the  lifetime of the  Annuitant with  the
  guarantee  that if, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have been made for
  less than 120 or  180 months, as elected,  annuity payments will be  continued
  during  the  remainder  of said  period  to the  Beneficiary  or Beneficiaries
  designated by  the Participant.  If  no Beneficiary  is  designated, or  if  a
  Beneficiary dies while receiving annuity payments, the present value, computed
  as  of the date notice of death is received in writing by Hartford Life at its
  home office,  of the  guaranteed number  of annuity  payments remaining  after
  receipt  of such notice and to which the deceased would have been entitled had
  he not died,  computed on  the basis of  the selected  Assumed Interest  Rate,
  compounded  annually,  shall be  paid in  a  lump sum  in accordance  with the
  provisions of the Contract. The annuity unit value for the day on which notice
  of death is  received at Hartford  Life's Home  Office shall be  used for  the
  purposes of determining the lump sum payment.
    
 
    OPTION 3--UNIT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY
 
   
    An annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the Annuitant, terminating
  with  the last payment due prior to  the death of the Annuitant, provided that
  an additional payment  will be made  in an  amount equal to  the annuity  unit
  value,  as of the date that notice of death is received in writing by Hartford
  Life at its Home Office, multiplied by  a number equal to the excess, if  any,
  of  (a) over  (b), where  (a) is  the total  amount applied  under the option,
  divided by the annuity unit value at the Annuity Commencement Date, and (b) is
  the product of the number of annuity units represented by each payment and the
  number of payments made.
    
 
    OPTION 4--JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY
 
    An annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and  a
  designated  second person and thereafter during  the remaining lifetime of the
  survivor.
 
    All payments under  any of these  options will be  determined in  accordance
  with   the  Contracts.  The  Company  reserves  the  right  to  require  proof
  satisfactory to it of the age of an Annuitant and any joint Annuitant prior to
  making the first payment under any of these options.
 
D. CONTRIBUTIONS
 
    The minimum contribution under the Contract is $20.00.

is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life.  The principal business address
of HSD is the same as Hartford Life.

The securities will be sold by salespersons of HSD who represent Hartford Life
as insurance and Variable Annuity agents and who are registered representatives
of Broker-Dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with HSD.

HSD 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

subsequent Contributions.  Sales compensation may be reduced.

Prior to June 26, 1995, the Principal Underwriter for the Separate Account was
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc., an NASD member Broker-Dealer.

The offering of the Separate Account contracts is continuous.

                                    ANNUITY PERIOD

A.  Annuity Payments

    Variable Annuity payments are determined on the basis of (1) a mortality
    table set forth in the contracts which reflects the age of the Annuitant
    and the type of Annuity payment option selected, and (2) the investment
    performance of the investment medium selected.  Fixed Annuity payments will
    be no less than those calculated at rates based on the annuity tables
    contained in the contracts.

    The amount of the Annuity payments will not be affected by adverse
    mortality experience or by an increase in expenses in excess of the expense
    deduction for which provision has been made (see "Charges Under the
    Contracts," in the Prospectus).

    The Annuitant will be paid the value of a fixed number of Annuity Units
    each month.  The value of such units and the amounts of the monthly
    Variable Annuity payments will, however, reflect investment income
    occurring after retirement, and thus the payments will vary with the
    investment experience of the Fund shares selected.

    1.  Net Investment Factor for period                           .000498
    2.  Adjustment for 4% Assumed Rate of Net Investment Return    .999892
    3.  2x(1+1.000000)                                            1.000390

    5.  Annuity Unit value, end of period (3x4)                    .996383

B.   Electing the Annuity Commencement Date and Form of Annuity

     The Contract Owner selects an Annuity Commencement Date, usually between a
     Participant's 50th and 75th birthdays, and an Annuity option.  The Annuity
     Commencement Date may not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 75th birthday
     or such earlier date as may be required by law or regulation.  The Annuity
     Commencement Date and/or the Annuity option may be changed from time to
     time, but any such change must be made at least 30 days prior to the date
     on which Annuity payments are scheduled to begin.  Annuity payments will be
     made on the first business day of each month.

<PAGE>

                                        - 3 -

     The contracts contain the five optional Annuity forms described below,
     which may be selected on either a Fixed or Variable Annuity basis, or a
     combination thereof.  If a Contract Owner does not elect otherwise,
     Hartford Life reserves the right to begin Annuity payments at age 65 under
     Option 2 with 120 monthly payments certain.  However, Hartford Life will
     not assume responsibility in determining or monitoring minimum
     distributions beginning at age 70 1/2.

     The minimum Annuity payment is $20.  No election may be made which results
     in a first payment of less than $20.  If at any time Annuity payments are
     or become less than $20, Hartford Life has the right to change the
     frequency of payment to such intervals as will result in payments of at
     least $20.

C.   Optional Annuity Forms

     OPTION 1:  Life Annuity

     A life Annuity is an Annuity payable during the lifetime of the Annuitant
     and terminating with the last monthly payment preceding the death of the
     Annuitant.  Life Annuity Options (Options 1-4) offer the maximum level of
     monthly payments of any of the options since there is no guarantee of a
     minimum number of payments nor a provision for a death benefit payable to a
     Beneficiary.

     It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant to receive only one
     Annuity payment if he died prior to the due date of the second Annuity
     payment, two if he died before the due date of the third Annuity payment,
     etc.

  *  OPTION 2:  Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain

     This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an
     Annuitant with the provision that if, at the death of the Annuitant,
     payments have been made for less than 120, 180 or 240 months, as elected,
     then the present value as of the date of the Participant's death at the
     current dollar amount at the date of death of any remaining guaranteed
     monthly payments will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or
     Beneficiaries designated unless other provisions will have been made and
     approved by Hartford Life.

     1.  Net amount applied                                        13,978.25

     4.  Annuity Unit value                                              .953217

<PAGE>

                                        - 4 -

     6.  Assume Annuity Unit value for second month equal to             .963723
     7.  Second monthly payment (6x5)                                  83.80
     8.  Assume Annuity Unit value for third month equal to              .964917
     9.  Third month payment (8x5)                                     83.91

     For the purpose of this illustration, purchase is assumed to have been made
     on the 5th business day preceding the first payment date.  In determining
     the second and subsequent payments the annuity unit value of the 5th
     business day preceding the annuity due date is used.

  *  OPTION 3:  Unit Refund Life Annuity

     This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of
     the Annuitant terminating with the last payment due prior to the death of
     the Annuitant except that an additional payment will be made to the
     Beneficiary or Beneficiaries if (a) below exceeds (b) below:

          total amount applied under the option
          (a) =
     AT THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
          Annuity Unit value at the Annuity
          Commencement Date

     (b) =     number of Annuity Units represented          number of monthly
               by monthly Annuity payment made     X     Annuity payments made

     The amount of the additional payments will be determined by multiplying
     such excess by the Annuity Unit value as of the date that proof of death is
     received by Hartford Life.

     For example, if $20,000 were applied to the purchase of an Annuity under
     this option, the value of an Annuity Unit was $1.25 on the Annuity
     Commencement Date, the number of Annuity Units represented by each monthly
     payment was 91.68 (the number applicable to an individual electing this
     option to commence at age 65), 60 monthly Annuity payments were made prior
     to the date of death, and the value of an Annuity Unit on the date of
     receipt of proof of an Annuitant's death was $1.50, the amount paid to the
     Beneficiary would be $15,748.80, computed as follows:

     $20,000     (91.68 x 60) = 10,499.200
     ------- 
     $1.25
                 or

     16,000.000 - 5,500.800 = 10,499.200
     10,499.200 x $1.50 = $15,748.80

<PAGE>

                                        - 5 -

     OPTION 4:  Joint and Last Survivor Annuity

     An Annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a
     designated second person, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of
     the survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the
     survivor.

     It would be possible under this Option for an Annuitant and designated
     second person in the event of the common or simultaneous death of the
     parties to receive only one payment in the event of death prior to the due
     date for the second payment and so on.

  *  OPTION 5:  Payments for a Designated Period

     An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be
     from one to thirty years.  Under this Option, the Contract Owner or
     Annuitant may, at any time, surrender the Account and receive, within seven
     days, the current value of the Account.

     In the event of the Annuitant's death prior to the end of the designated
     period, any then remaining balance of proceeds will be paid in one sum to
     the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated unless other provisions will
     have been made and approved by Hartford Life.

     Option 5 is an option that does not involve life contingencies and thus no
     mortality guarantee.

     Surrenders under Option 5 will be subject to the limitations set forth in
     the Contract and any applicable contingent deferred sales charges (see "How
     do I select an Annuity Commencement Date and Form of Annuity?" in the
     Prospectus.)

  *  On Qualified Plans, Options 2, 3 and 5 are available only if the guaranteed
     payment period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the
     time the option becomes effective.  Such life expectancy shall be computed
     on the basis of the mortality table prescribed by the Internal Revenue
     Service, or if none is prescribed, the mortality table then in use by
     Hartford Life.

                           CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN

YIELDS OF HARTFORD BOND FUND SUB-ACCOUNTS.  As summarized in the Prospectus
under the heading "Performance Related Information," yields of the Sub-Account
will be computed by annualizing a recent month's net investment income, divided
by a Fund share's net asset value on the last trading day of that month.  Net
changes in the value of a hypothetical account will assume the change in the
underlying mutual funds "net asset value per share" for the same period in
addition to the daily expense charged assessed, at the sub-account level for the
respective period.  The Bond Fund Sub-Account's yields will vary from time to
time depending upon market conditions and, the composition of the underlying
funds' portfolios.  Yield should also be considered relative to changes in the
value of the Sub-Account's shares and to the relative risks

<PAGE>

                                        - 6 -

associated with the investment objectives and policies of the Bond Fund.

The yield reflects recurring charges on the Separate Account level, including
the Annual Contract Fee.

The Bond Fund Sub-Account's yield will vary from time to time depending upon
market conditions and, the composition of the underlying fund's portfolios.
Yield should also be considered relative to changes in the value of the
Sub-Account's shares and to the relative risks associated with the investment
objectives and policies of the Fund.

Bond Fund Sub-Account

Yield calculations of the Sub-Account used for illustration purposes reflect the
interest earned by the Sub-Account, less applicable asset charges assessed
against a Contract Owner's contract over the base period.  The following is the
method used to determine the yield for the 30 day period ended December 31,
1995.

Example:
                                                                6
Current Yield Formula for the Sub-Account   2*[((A-B)/(C*D) + 1)  - 1]

Where
     A = Dividends and interest earned during the period.

     B = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).

     C = The average daily number of units outstanding during the period that
          were entitled to receive dividends.

     D = The maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the period.

     Yield = 5.15%

At any time in the future, yields and total return may be higher or lower than
past yields and there can be no assurance that any historical results will
continue.

The method of calculating yields described above for this Sub-Account differs
from the method used by the Sub-Accounts prior to May 1, 1988.  The denominator
of the fraction used to calculate yield was previously the average unit value
for the period calculated.  That denominator will hereafter be the unit value of
the Sub-Account on the last trading day of the period calculated.

CALCULATION OF TOTAL RETURN.  As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading
"Performance

<PAGE>

                                        - 7 -

Related Information", total return is a measure of the change in value of an
investment in a Sub-Account over the period covered.  The formula for total
return used herein includes three steps:  (1) calculating the value of the
hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 as of the end of the period by
multiplying the total number of units owned at the end of the period by the unit
value per unit on the last trading day of the period; (2) assuming redemption at
the end of the period and deducting any applicable contingent deferred sales
charge and (3) dividing this account value for the hypothetical investor by the
initial $1,000 investment and annualizing the result for periods of less than
one year.  Total return will be calculated for one year, five years and ten
years or some other relevant periods if a Sub-Account has not been in existence
for at least ten years.

                               PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS

YIELD AND TOTAL RETURN.  Each Sub-Account may from time to time include its
total return in advertisements or in information furnished to present or
prospective shareholders.  Each Sub-Account may from time to time include its
yield and total return in advertisements or information furnished to present or
prospective shareholders.  Each Sub-Account may from time to time include in
advertisements its total return (and yield in the case of certain Sub-Accounts)
the ranking of those performance figures relative to such figures for groups of
other annuities analyzed by Lipper Analytical Services as having the same
investment objectives.

The total return and yield may also be used to compare the performance of the
Sub-Accounts against certain widely acknowledged outside standards or indices
for stock and bond market performance.  The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of
500 Stocks (the "S&P 500") is a market value-weighted and unmanaged index
showing the changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks relative to the
base period 1941-43.  The S&P 500 is composed almost entirely of common stocks
of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, although the common stocks
of a few companies listed on the American Stock Exchange or traded
over-the-counter are included.  The 500 companies represented include 400
industrial, 60 transportation and 40 financial services concerns.  The S&P 500
represents about 80% of the market value of all issues traded on the New York
Stock Exchange.

The NASDAQ-OTC Price Index (the "NASDAQ Index") is a market value-weighted and
unmanaged index showing the changes in the aggregate market value of
approximately 3,500 stocks relative to the base measure of 100.00 on February 5,
1971.  The NASDAQ Index is composed entirely of common stocks of companies
traded over-the-counter and often through the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotations ("NASDAQ") system.  Only those over-the-counter
stocks having only one market maker or traded on exchanges are excluded.

The Shearson Lehman Government Bond Index (the "SL Government Index") is a
measure of the market value of all public obligations of the U.S. Treasury; all
publicly issued debt of all agencies of the U.S. Government and all
quasi-federal corporations; and all corporate debt guaranteed by the U.S.
Government.  Mortgage-backed securities, flower bonds and foreign targeted
issues are not included in the SL Government Index.

<PAGE>

                                        - 8 -

The Shearson Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (the "SL
Government/Corporate Index") is a measure of the market value of approximately
5,300 bonds with a face value currently in excess of $1.3 trillion.  To be
included in the SL Government/Corporate Index, an issue must have amounts
outstanding in excess of $1 million, have at least one year to maturity and be
rated "Baa" or higher ("investment grade") by a nationally recognized rating
agency.

The manner in which total return and yield will be calculated for public use is
described above.  The following table summarizes the calculation of total return
and yield for each Sub-Account, where applicable, through December 31, 1995.

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  Hartford  Life Insurance
Company Separate  Account Two  as of  December  31, 1995,  the results  of  its

 SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    Separate  Account Two (the Account) is  a separate investment account within
    Hartford Life 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 annuity  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 are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains income
       represents  dividends from the  Funds which are  characterized as capital
       gains under tax regulations.
 
    b) SECURITY  VALUATION--The  investment in  shares  of the  Hartford,  Smith
       Barney,  TCI, Fidelity  and Calvert  Responsibily Invested  Series mutual
       funds are valued at the closing  net asset value per share as  determined
       by the appropriate Fund as of December 31, 1995.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the  Account form a part of, and
       are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as an
       insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,  no
       federal  income taxes are  payable with respect to  the operations of the
       Account.
 
    d) USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation  of financial statements in  conformity
       with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
       estimates  and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
       liabilities as of the date of  the financial statements and the  reported
       amounts  of income and  expenses during the  period. Operating results in
       the  future  could  vary  from  the  amounts  derived  from  management's
       estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    a)  MORTALITY AND EXPENSE  UNDERTAKINGS--The Company, as  issuer of variable
       annuity contracts, provides the  mortality and expense undertakings  and,
       with respect to the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of up to 1.25%
       of the Account's average daily net assets.
 
    b) 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.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Hartford Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hartford Life
Insurance Company (a Connecticut corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company) and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of  income,
stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995.  These consolidated financial statements and the
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of Hartford Life Insurance 
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and schedules 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 consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Hartford Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Hartford
Life Insurance Company adopted new accounting standards promulgated by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, changing its methods of accounting, as of
January 1, 1994, for debt and equity securities.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.  The schedules listed in
the Index to Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules are presented for
purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements.  These
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic consolidated financial statements  and, in our opinion, fairly
state in all material respects the  financial data required to be set forth
therein in relation to the  basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole.

             HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS)



1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements include Hartford Life Insurance Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Hartford Life" or the "Company"), ITT
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ILA") and ITT Hartford 
International Life Reassurance Corporation ("HLRe"), formerly American Skandia
Life Reinsurance Corporation.  Hartford Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company ("HLA").  Hartford Life is
ultimately owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company ("Hartford Fire"), which is
ultimately owned by ITT Hartford Group, Inc. ("ITT Hartford"), formerly a
subsidiary of ITT Corporation ("ITT").  On December 19, 1995, ITT Corporation 
distributed all of the outstanding shares of ITT Hartford Group to ITT 
Corporation Shareholders of record in an action known herein as the 
"Distribution".  As a result of the Distribution, ITT Hartford became an 
independent publicly traded company.

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The 
Company offers life, annuity, pension, and disability insurance products. 
These products are distributed and marketed by multiple distribution channels 
which include broker-dealers, agents and banks, as well as a captive sales 
force. Hartford Life conducts business primarily in the United States and is 
licensed to write business in all 50 states. The Company is headquartered in 
Simsbury, Connecticut and has 3,045 direct employees. 
 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which differ in certain material respects from
the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by various insurance
regulatory authorities.

(B)  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Effective January 1, 1994, Hartford Life adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities".  The new standard requires, among other things,
that securities be classified as "held-to-maturity", "available-for-sale" or
"trading" based on Hartford Life's intentions with respect to the ultimate
disposition of the security and its ability to effect those intentions.  The
classification determines the appropriate accounting carrying value (cost basis
or fair value) and, in the case of fair value, whether the adjustment impacts
Stockholder's Equity directly or is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of
Income.  Investments in equity securities had previously been and continue to
be recorded at fair value with the corresponding impact included in
Stockholder's Equity.  Under SFAS No. 115,  Hartford Life's fixed maturities
are classified as "available-for-sale" and accordingly, these investments are
reflected at fair value with the corresponding impact included as a component
of Stockholder's Equity designated as "Unrealized loss on investments, net of
tax."  As with the underlying investment security, unrealized gains and losses
on derivative financial instruments are considered in determining the fair
value of the portfolios.  The impact of adoption was an increase to
Stockholder's Equity of $91.  Hartford Life's cash flows were not impacted by
this change in accounting principle.

(C)  REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues for universal life policies and investment products consist of policy
charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration and surrender charges
assessed to policy account balances.  Premiums for traditional life insurance
policies are recognized as revenues when they are due from policyholders. 
Deferred acquisition costs are amortized using the retrospective deposit method
for universal life and other types of contracts where the payment pattern is
irregular or surrender charges are a significant source of profit and the
prospective deposit method is used where investment margins are the primary
source of profit.

                                         F-6

<PAGE>

(D)  FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS AND OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS
Liabilities for future policy benefits are computed by the net level premium
method using interest rate assumptions varying from 3% to 11% and withdrawal,
mortality and morbidity assumptions which vary by plan, year of issue and
policy durations and include a provision for adverse deviation.  Other
policyholder funds which represent liabilities for universal life insurance and
investment products reflect policy account balances before applicable surrender
charges.

(E)  POLICYHOLDER REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES
Realized gains and losses on security transactions associated with Hartford
Life's immediate participation guaranteed  contracts are excluded from 
revenues, since under the terms of the contracts the realized gains and losses
will be credited to policyholders in future years as they are entitled to
receive them.

(F)  DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Policy acquisition costs, including commissions and certain underwriting
expenses associated with acquiring traditional life insurance products, are
deferred and amortized over the lesser of the estimated or actual contract
life.  For universal life insurance and investment products, acquisition costs
are being amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected
gross profits from surrender charges, investment, mortality and expense
margins.

(G)  INVESTMENTS
Hartford Life's investments in fixed maturities include bonds, redeemable
preferred stock and commercial paper which are classified as "available-for-
sale" and accordingly are carried at market value with the after-tax difference
from cost reflected as a component of  Stockholder's Equity designated
"Unrealized loss on investments, net of tax". Equity securities, which include
common and non-redeemable preferred stocks, are carried at market value with
the after-tax difference from cost reflected in Stockholder's Equity.  Realized
investment gains and losses, after deducting life and pension policyholders'
share, are reported as a component of revenue and are determined on a specific
identification basis. 

(H)  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Hartford Life uses a variety of derivative financial instruments including,
swaps, caps, floors, options, forwards and exchange traded financial futures as
part of an overall risk management strategy.  These instruments, 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. Hartford
Life does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes. Hartford Life's accounting for derivative financial instruments used
to manage risk is in accordance with the concepts established in SFAS No. 80,
"Accounting for Futures Contracts," SFAS No. 52 , "Foreign Currency
Translation", American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of 
Position 86-2, "Accounting for Options" and various Emerging Issues Task Force
pronouncements. Written options are in all cases used in conjunction with other
assets and derivatives as part of an overall risk management strategy. 
Derivative instruments are carried at values consistent with the asset or
liability being hedged.  Derivatives used to hedge fixed maturities or equities
are carried at fair value with the after-tax difference from cost reflected in
Stockholder's Equity.  Derivatives used to hedge other invested assets or
liabilities are carried at cost.

Derivatives, used as part of a risk management strategy, must be designated at
inception as a hedge and measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an
ongoing basis. Hartford Life's minimum correlation threshold for hedge
designation is 80%.  If correlation, which is assessed monthly and measured
based on a rolling three month average, falls below 80%, hedge accounting will
be terminated. 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.  Synthetic
instrument accounting, consistent with industry practice, provides that the
synthetic asset is accounted for like the financial instrument it is intended
to replicate.  Derivatives which fail to meet risk management criteria are
marked to market with the impact reflected in the Consolidated Statements
of Income.

Gains or losses on financial futures contracts entered into in anticipation 
of the future receipt of product cash flows are deferred and, at the time of 
the ultimate purchase, reflected as a basis adjustment to the purchased 
asset.  Gains or losses on futures used in invested asset risk management are 
deferred and adjusted into the basis of the hedged asset when the contract 
futures are closed, except for  futures used in duration hedging which are 
deferred and basis adjusted on a quarterly basis.  The basis adjustments are 
amortized into investment  income over the remaining asset life.

                                         F-7

Open forward commitment contracts are marked to market through Stockholder's
Equity.  Such contracts are recorded at settlement by recording the purchase of
the specified securities at the previously committed price.  Gains or losses
resulting from the termination of the forward commitment contracts before the
delivery of the securities are recognized immediately in the Consolidated
Statements of Income as a component of net investment income.

The cost of options entered into as part of a risk management strategy are
basis adjusted to the underlying asset or liability and amortized over the
remaining life of the hedge. Gains or losses on expiration or termination are
adjusted into the basis of the underlying asset or liability and amortized over
the remaining asset life. 

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 income.  Should the swap be terminated, the gain or loss is
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 earnings.  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 Consolidated Statements of Income while the change in market value is
recognized as an unrealized gain or loss. 

Premiums paid on purchased floor or cap agreements and the premium received on
issued floor or cap  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.

Forward exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps are accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 52.

(I)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions of Hartford Life with its parent and affiliates relate principally
to tax settlements, insurance coverage, rental and service fees and payment of
dividends and capital contributions.  In addition, certain affiliated insurance
companies purchased group annuity contracts from Hartford Life to fund pension
costs and claim annuities to settle casualty claims.

On June 30, 1995, the assets of Lyndon Insurance Company ("Lyndon") were 
contributed to ILA.  As a result, ILA received approximately $365 in fixed 
maturities, equity securities and cash, $26 in receivables, $187 of current 
tax liability, $20 in deferred tax liability, and $3 of other liabilities.  
The excess of assets over liabilities of $181 were recorded as an increase to 
paid-in capital. 

Substantially all general insurance expenses related to Hartford Life,
including rent expenses, are initially paid by Hartford Fire.  Direct expenses
are allocated to Hartford Life using specific identification and indirect
expenses are allocated using other applicable methods.

The rent paid to Hartford Fire for the space occupied by Hartford Life was $3
in 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively.  Hartford Life expects to pay rent of $3
in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively and $57 thereafter, over the
contract life of the lease.

(J) DIVIDEND TO POLICYHOLDERS 
Dividends to policyholders primarily represent those amounts paid to corporate
owned life insurance ("COLI") policyholders. These dividend liabilities, which
appear as other policyholder funds on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are
recorded when approved by the board of directors.
 
See Note (4) for the related party coinsurance agreements.

(a) Inverse floaters are variations of CMO's for which the coupon rates
move inversely with an index rate (e.g. LIBOR).  The risk to principal is
considered negligible as the underlying collateral for the securities is
guaranteed or sponsored by government agencies.   To address the volatility
risk created by the coupon variability, Hartford Life uses a variety of
derivative instruments, primarily interest rate swaps and issued floors.

(b) Includes issued caps $475 with a weighted average strike rate of 8.5%
(ranging from 7.0% to 10.4%) and over 85% mature in 2000 through 2004.  Issued
floors totaled $236, have a weighted average strike rate of 8.1% (ranging 
from 5.3% to 10.9%) and mature through 2007 with 76% maturing by 2004.

(c) Comprised of purchased floors of $1.8 billion and purchased caps of $1.7
billion.  The floors have a weighted average strike price of 5.8% (ranging from
3.7% to 6.8%) and over 85% mature in 1997 through 1999.  The caps have a
weighted average strike price of 7.5% (ranging from 4.5% and 10.1%) and over
82% mature in 1997 through 1999.

(d) Over 95% of futures contracts expire before December 31, 1996.

(e) Deferred gains and losses on anticipatory transactions are included in the
carrying value of bond investments in the consolidated balance sheets.  At the
time of  the ultimate purchase, they are reflected as a basis adjustment to the
purchased asset.  At December 31, 1995, there were $5.3 in net deferred losses
for futures, interest rate swaps and purchased options.

(f) The following table summarizes the maturities by notional value of interest
rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 1995 and the related weighted average
interest pay rate or receive rate assuming current market conditions:

In addition to risk management through derivative financial instruments
pertaining to the investment portfolio, interest rate sensitivity related to
certain Company liabilities was altered primarily through interest rate swap
agreements. The notional

                                         F-11

<PAGE>

amount of the liability agreements in which Hartford Life generally pays one
variable rate in exchange for another, was $1.7 billion at December 31, 1995 and
1994 respectively.  The weighted average pay rate is 5.9%; the weighted average
receive rate is 6.0% , and these agreements mature at various times through
2001.

(F)  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Hartford Life has a reinsurance recoverable of $5.6 billion from Mutual Benefit
Life Assurance Corporation (Mutual Benefit).  The risk of Mutual Benefit
becoming insolvent is mitigated by the reinsurance agreement's requirement that
the assets be kept in a security trust with Hartford Life as sole beneficiary. 
Excluding investments in U.S. government and agencies, Hartford Life has no
other significant concentrations of credit risk.

Included in fixed maturity investments at December 31, 1995 were $39 of 
Orange County, California Pension Obligation Bonds, $17 of which were carried 
in the general account and $22 which were included in Hartford Life's 
guaranteed separate accounts. During 1995 all interest payments due were 
received.  While Orange County is currently operating under Protection of 
Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws, Hartford Life believes the bonds 
are not impaired other than on a temporary basis.

(G)  FIXED MATURITIES

fixed maturities by component, along with the gross unrealized gains and losses:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturities at December 31,
1995, by maturity, are shown below.  Asset backed securities are distributed to
maturity year based on estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal
over the remaining life of the securities.  Expected maturities differ from
contractual maturities reflecting the borrowers' rights to call or prepay their
obligations.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instrument: fair value for fixed maturities and equity
securities approximate those quotations published by applicable stock exchanges
or are received from other reliable sources; policy and mortgage loan carrying
amounts approximate fair value; investments in partnerships and trusts are based
on external market valuations from partnership and trust management; and other
policy claims and benefits payable are determined by estimating future cash
flows discounted at the current market rate.

3.  INCOME TAX
Hartford Life is included in ITT Hartford Group's consolidated U.S. Federal 
income tax return and remits to (receives from) ITT Hartford Group, Inc. a 
current income tax provision (benefit) computed in accordance with the tax 
sharing arrangements between its insurance subsidiaries.  The effective tax 
rate was 32% in 1995 and 1994, and approximates the U.S. statutory tax rate 
of 35% in 1993.

Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1984, the Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act
of 1959 permitted the deferral from taxation of a portion of statutory income
under certain circumstances.  In these situations, the deferred income was
accumulated in a "Policyholders' Surplus Account" and will be taxable in the
future only under conditions which management considers to be remote; therefore,
no Federal income taxes have been provided on this deferred income.  The balance
for tax return purposes of the Policyholders' Surplus Account as of December 31,
1995 was $37.

4.  REINSURANCE
Hartford Life cedes insurance to non-affiliated insurers in order to limit its
maximum loss.  Such transfer does not relieve Hartford Life of its primary
liability.  Hartford Life also assumes insurance from other  insurers.  Group
life and accident and health insurance  business is substantially reinsured to
affiliated companies.

Life insurance net retained premiums were comprised of the following:

Life reinsurance recoveries, which reduced death and other benefits, for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 approximated $220, $164, and $149,
respectively.

In December 1994, Hartford Life assumed from a third party approximately $500 
of corporate owned life insurance reserves on a coinsurance basis. In 
December 1995, this block of business was reinsured to HLRe utilizing 
modified coinsurance, with the assets and policy liabilities placed in a 
separate account. In October 1994, HLRe recaptured approximately $500 of 
corporate owned life insurance from a third party reinsurer.  Subsequent to 
this transaction, Hartford Life and HLRe restructured their coinsurance 
agreement from coinsurance to modified coinsurance, with the assets and 
policy liabilities placed in the separate account. These transactions did not 
have a material impact on consolidated net income.

Also in December 1994, ILA ceded to a third party $1.0 billion in individual
fixed and variable annuities on a modified coinsurance basis. In December 1995,
Hartford Life ceded approximately $1.2 billion in individual variable annuities
on a modified coinsurance basis to a third party. These transactions did not
have a material impact on consolidated net income.

In May 1994, Hartford Life assumed the life insurance policies and the 
individual annuities of Pacific Standard with reserves and account values of 
approximately $400.  Hartford Life received cash and investment grade assets  
to support the life insurance and individual annuity contract obligations 
assumed.

In November 1993, ILA acquired, through an assumption reinsurance 
transaction, substantially all of the individual fixed and variable annuity 
business of HLA. As a result of this transaction, the assets and liabilities 
of Hartford Life increased approximately $1 billion.  The excess of 
liabilities assumed over assets received, of $2, was recorded as a decrease 
to capital surplus. The remaining $41 in assets and liabilities were 
transferred in October 1995.  The impact on consolidated net income was not 
significant.

In August 1993, Hartford Life received assets of $300 for assuming the group 
COLI contract obligations of Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, through 
an assumption reinsurance transaction.  Under the terms of the agreement, 
Hartford Life coinsured back 75% of the liabilities to Mutual Benefit Life 
Insurance Company.  All assets supporting Mutual Benefit's reinsurance 
liability to Hartford Life are placed in a "security trust", with Hartford 
Life as the sole beneficiary.  The impact on 1993 consolidated net income was 
not significant.

5.  PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Hartford Life's employees are included in Hartford Fire's noncontributory
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.  Hartford Life's funding policy is to contribute annually
an amount between the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the maximum amount that can be
deducted for Federal income tax purposes. Generally, pension costs are funded
through the purchase of Hartford Life's group pension contracts. The cost to
Hartford Life was approximately $2, $2, and $3 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Hartford Life provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
eligible retired employees. A substantial portion of Hartford Life's employees
may become eligible for these benefits upon retirement. Hartford Life'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.  Hartford Life 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
Hartford Fire were immaterial for 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively.

The assumed rate of future increases in the per capita cost of health care (the
health care trend rate) was 10.1% for 1995, decreasing ratably to 6.0% in the
year 2001.  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 the covered employees.

8.  SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
  Hartford Life maintains separate account assets and liabilities totaling $36.3
  billion and $22.8 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively which 
  are reported at fair value.  Separate account assets are segregated from other
  investments and investment income and gains and losses accrue directly to the
  policyholder.  Separate accounts reflect two categories of risk assumption: 
  non-guaranteed separate accounts totaling $25.9 billion and $14.8 billion at
  December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, wherein the policyholder assumes the
  investment risk, and guaranteed separate account assets totaling $10.4 billion
  and $8.0 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, wherein Hartford
  Life contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the
  policyholder.  Included in the non-guaranteed category are policy loans 
  totaling $1.7 billion and $0.5 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, 
  respectively. Investment income (including investment gains and losses) and 
  interest credited to policyholders on separate account assets are not 
  reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  Separate account 
  management fees, net of minimum guarantees, were $387, $256, and $189, in 
  1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

                                         F-16

  The guaranteed separate accounts include modified guaranteed individual 
  annuity, and modified guaranteed life insurance.  The average credit interest 
  rate on these contracts is 6.62%.  The assets that support these liabilities 
  were comprised of $10.4 billion in bonds at December 31, 1995.  The portfolios
  are segregated from other investments and are managed so as to minimize 
  liquidity and interest rate risk.  In order to minimize the risk of 
  disintermediation associated with early withdrawals, individual annuity and 
  modified guaranteed life insurance contracts carry a graded surrender charge 
  as well as a market value adjustment.  Additional investment risk is hedged 
  using a variety of derivatives which totaled $133 million in carrying value 
  and $2.7 billion in notional amounts at December 31, 1995. 

9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
  In August 1994, Hartford Life renewed a two year note purchase facility
  agreement which in certain instances obligates Hartford Life to purchase up to
  $100 million in collateralized notes from a third party.  Hartford Life is
  receiving fees for this commitment.  At December 31, 1995, Hartford Life had 
  not purchased any notes under this agreement.

  Under insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurers doing business
  therein can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses 
  incurred by insolvent companies.  The amount of any future assessments on 
  Hartford Life under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated.  Most of these 
  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.  Hartford Life paid guaranty fund assessments of approximately
  $10, $8 and $6 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

  Hartford Life is involved in various legal actions, some of which involve 
  claims for substantial amounts. In the opinion of management the ultimate 
  liability with respect to such lawsuits, as well as other contingencies, is 
  not considered material in relation to the consolidated financial position of 
  Hartford Life.

Item 28.  Indemnification

          Under Section 33-320a of the Connecticut General Statutes, the 
          Registrant must

<PAGE>

                                         -4-

          indemnify a director or officer against judgments, fines, penalties,
          amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including 
          attorneys' fees, for actions brought or threatened to be brought 
          against him in his capacity as a director or officer when it is 
          determined by certain disinterested parties that he acted in good 
          faith and in a manner he reasonably to be in the best interest of the 
          Registrant.  In any criminal action or proceeding, it also must be 
          determined that the director or officer had no reason to believe his 
          conduct was unlawful.  The director or officer must also be 
          indemnified when he is successful on the merits in the defense of a 
          proceeding or in circumstances where a court determines that he is 
          fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified, and the court
          approves the amount.  In shareholders derivative suits, the director 
          or officer must be finally adjudged not to have breached his duty to 
          the Registrant or a court must determine that he is fairly and 
          reasonably entitled to be indemnified and must approve the amount. In 
          a claim based upon the director's or officer's purchase or sale of the
          Registrant's securities, the director or officer may obtain 
          indemnification only if a court determines that, in view of all the 
          circumstances, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified,
          and then for such amount as the court shall determine.

          The foregoing statements are specifically made subject to the detailed
          provisions of Section 33-320a.

          The directors and officers of Hartford Life and Hartford Securities
          Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") are covered under a directors and
          officer liability insurance policy issued to ITT Hartford 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 and other costs, charges and expenses and settlements and 
          judgments arising from any proceedings 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 liability arising from 
          acts that are deemed to be uninsurable.

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

                           PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the June 26, 1995, made by and between HARTFORD LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY ("HLIC" or the "Sponsor"), a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Connecticut, and HARTFORD SECURITIES
DISTRIBUTION COMPANY, INC. ("HSD"), a corporation organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Connecticut,

                                     WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of HLIC has made provision for the establishment
of  separate accounts within HLIC in accordance with the laws of the State of
Connecticut, which separate accounts were organized and are established and
registered as unit investment trust type investment companies with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940
("1940 Act"), as amended, and which are designated Hartford Life Insurance
Company DC Variable Account -I, Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account
Two (DC Variable Account-II), Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account
Two (Variable Account A), Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account Two
(QP Variable Account), and Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account Two
(NQ Variable Account), (referred to collectively as the "Separate Accounts");
and

WHEREAS, HSD offers to the public a certain Group Variable Annuity Contracts
(the "Contract") issued by HLIC with respect to the UIT units of interest
thereunder which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"),
as amended; and

    WHEREAS, HSD has previously agreed to act as distributor in connection with
offers and sales of the Contract under the terms and conditions set forth in
this Principal Underwriter Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements made herein, HLIC and
HSD agree as follows:

                                            I.     

                                       HSD'S DUTIES

1.  HSD, as successor principal underwriter to Hartford Equity Sales Company,
    Inc. for the Contract, will use its best efforts to effect offers and sales
    of the Contract through broker-dealers that are members of the National
    Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and whose registered
    representatives are duly licensed as insurance agents of HLIC.  HSD is
    responsible for compliance with all applicable requirements of the 1933
    Act, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), as
    amended, and the 1940 Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations
    relating to the sales and distribution of the Contract, the need for which
    arises out of its duties as principal underwriter of said Contract and
    relating to the creation of the UIT.

<PAGE>

2.  HSD agrees that it will not use any prospectus, sales literature, or any
    other printed matter or material or offer for sale or sell the Contract if
    any of the foregoing in any way represent the duties, obligations, or
    liabilities of HLIC as being greater than, or different from, such duties,
    obligations and liabilities as are set forth in this Agreement, as it may
    be amended from time to time.

3.  HSD agrees that it will utilize the then currently effective prospectus
    relating to the UIT's Contracts in connection with its selling efforts.

    As to the other types of sales materials, HSD agrees that it will use only
    sales materials which conform to the requirements of federal and state
    insurance laws and regulations and which have been filed, where necessary,
    with the appropriate regulatory authorities.

4.  HSD agrees that it or its duly designated agent shall maintain records of
    the name and address of, and the securities issued by the UIT and held by,
    every holder of any security issued pursuant to this Agreement, as required
    by the Section 26(a)(4) of the 1940 Act, as amended.

5.  HSD's services pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be
    exclusive, and it may render similar services and act as an underwriter,
    distributor, or dealer for other investment companies in the offering of
    their shares.

6.  In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
    reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder on the part of
    HSD, HSD shall not be subject to liability under a Contract for any act or
    omission in the course, or connected with, rendering services hereunder.

                                         II.

1.  The UIT reserves the right at any time to suspend or limit the public
    offering of the Contracts upon 30 days' written notice to HSD, except where
    the notice period may be shortened because of legal action taken by any
    regulatory agency.

2.  The UIT agrees to advice HSD immediately:

    (a)  Of any request by the Securities and Exchange Commission for amendment
         of its 1933 Act registration statement or for additional information;

    (b)  Of the issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission of any stop
         order suspending the effectiveness of the 1933 Act registration
         statement relating to units of interest issued with respect to the UIT
         or of the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

<PAGE>


    (c)  Of the happening of any material event, if known, which makes untrue
         any statement in said 1933 Act registration statement or which
         requires a change therein in order to make any statement therein not
         misleading.

    HLIC will furnish to HSD such information with respect to the UIT and the
    Contracts in such form and signed by such of its officers and directors and
    HSD may reasonably request and will warrant that the statements therein
    contained when so signed will be true and correct.  HLIC will also furnish,
    from time to time, such additional information regarding the UIT's
    financial condition as HSD may reasonably request.

                                         III.

                                     COMPENSATION

In accordance with an Expense Reimbursement Agreement between HLIC and HSD, HSD
is obligated to reimburse HSD for all operating expenses associated with the
services provided on behalf of the UIT under this Principal Underwriter
Agreement.  No additional compensation is payable in excess of that required
under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement.

                                         IV.

                   RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

HSD may resign as a Principal Underwriter hereunder, upon 120 days' prior
written notice to HLIC.  However, such resignation shall not become effective
until either the UIT has been completely liquidated and the proceeds of the
liquidation distributed through HLIC to the Contract owners or a successor
Principal Underwriter has been designated and has accepted its duties.

                                          V.

                                    MISCELLANEOUS

1.  This Agreement may not be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the
    written consent of the other party.

2.  All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in
    writing and shall be delivered by hand or mailed first class, postage

                             BROKER-DEALER SALES AND
                              SUPERVISION AGREEMENT

This Broker-Dealer Sales and Supervision Agreement ("Agreement")
dated ____________________ is made by and between Hartford Life Insurance
Company and ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (referred to
collectively as "Companies"), Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc.
("Distributor"), a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act")
and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")
and __________________________________, who is also a broker-dealer registered
with the SEC under the 1934 Act and a member of the NASD ("Broker-Dealer"), and
any and all undersigned insurance agency affiliates ("Affiliates") of Broker-
Dealer.

WHEREAS, Companies offer certain variable life insurance policies and variable
and modified guaranteed annuity contracts which are deemed to be securities
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registered Products"); and

WHEREAS, Companies wish to appoint the Broker-Dealer and Affiliates as agents of
the Companies for the solicitation and procurement of applications for
Registered Products; and

WHEREAS, Distributor is the principal underwriter of the Registered Products;
and

WHEREAS, Distributor anticipates having registered representatives who are
associated with Broker-Dealer ("Registered Representatives"), who are NASD
registered and are duly licensed under applicable state insurance law and
appointed as life insurance agents of Companies solicit and sell the Registered
Products; and

WHEREAS, Distributor acknowledges that the Broker-Dealer will provide certain
supervisory and administrative services to Registered Representatives who are
associated with the Broker-Dealer in connection with the solicitation, service
and sale of the Registered Products; and

WHEREAS, Broker-Dealer agrees to provide the aforementioned supervisory services
to its Registered Representatives who have been appointed by the Companies to
sell the Registered Products.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement, the parties agree to the following:


  I. APPOINTMENT OF THE BROKER-DEALER

     The Companies hereby appoint Broker-Dealer as an agent of the Companies for
     the solicitation and procurement of applications for the Registered
     Products offered by the Companies, as outlined in Exhibit A attached
     herein, in all states in which the Companies are authorized to do business
     and in which Broker-Dealer or any Affiliates are properly licensed.
     Distributor hereby authorizes Broker-Dealer under the securities laws to
     supervise Registered Representatives in connection with the solicitation,
     service and sale of the Registered Products.

 II. AUTHORITY OF THE BROKER-DEALER

<PAGE>

     Broker-Dealer has the authority to represent Distributor and Companies only
     to the extent expressly granted in this Agreement.  Broker-Dealer and any
     Registered Representatives shall not hold themselves out to be employees of
     Companies or Distributor in any dealings with the public.  Broker-Dealer
     and any Registered Representatives shall be independent contractors as to
     Distributor or Companies.  Nothing contained herein is intended to create a
     relationship of employer and employee between Broker-Dealer and Distributor
     or Companies or between Registered Representatives and Distributor or
     Companies.

III. BROKER-DEALER REPRESENTATION

     Broker-Dealer represents that it is a registered broker-dealer under the
     1934 Act, a member in good standing of the NASD, and is registered as a
     broker-dealer under state law to the extent necessary to perform the duties
     described in this Agreement.  Broker-Dealer represents that its Registered
     Representatives, who will be soliciting applications for the Registered
     Products, will be duly registered representatives associated with Broker-
     Dealer and that they will be representatives in good standing with
     accreditation as required by the NASD to sell the Registered Products.
     Broker-Dealer agrees to abide by all rules and regulations of the NASD,
     including its Rules of Fair Practice, and to comply with all applicable
     state and federal laws and the rules and regulations of authorized
     regulatory agencies affecting the sale of the Registered Products.

 IV. BROKER-DEALER OBLIGATIONS

   (a)     TRAINING AND SUPERVISION
           Broker-Dealer has full responsibility for the training and
           supervision of all Registered Representatives associated with
           Broker-Dealer and any other persons who are engaged directly or
           indirectly in the offer or sale of the Registered Products.  Broker-
           Dealer shall, during the term of this Agreement, establish and
           implement reasonable procedures for periodic inspection and
           supervision of sales practices of its Registered Representatives.

           If a Registered Representative ceases to be a Registered
           Representative of Broker-Dealer, is disqualified for continued
           registration or has their registration suspended by the NASD or
           otherwise fails to meet the rules and standards imposed by Broker-
           Dealer, Broker-Dealer shall immediately notify such Registered
           Representative that he or she is no longer authorized to solicit
           applications, on behalf of the Companies, for the sale of Registered
           Products.  Broker-Dealer shall immediately notify Distributor of
           such termination or suspension.

   (b)     SOLICITATION
           Broker-Dealer agrees to supervise its Registered Representatives so
           that they will only solicit applications in states where the
           Registered Products are approved for sale in accordance with
           applicable state and federal laws.  Broker-Dealer shall be notified
           by Companies or Distributor of the availability of the Registered
           Products in each state.

   (c)     NO CHURNING
           Broker-Dealer and any Registered Representatives shall not make any
           misrepresentation or incomplete comparison of products for the
           purpose of inducing a policyholder to lapse, forfeit or surrender
           its insurance in favor of purchasing a Registered Product.

   (d)     PROSPECTUS DELIVERY AND SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS
           Broker-Dealer shall ensure that its Registered Representatives
           comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the
           Securities Act of 1933.  In addition, Broker-Dealer shall ensure
           that its Registered Representatives shall not make recommendations
           to an applicant to purchase a Registered Product in the absence of
           reasonable grounds to believe that the


                                        2
<PAGE>


           purchase is suitable for such applicant, as outlined in the
           suitability requirements of the 1934 Act and the NASD Rules of Fair
           Practice.  Broker-Dealer shall  ensure that each application
           obtained by its Registered Representatives shall bear evidence of
           approval by one of its principals indicating that the application
           has been reviewed for suitability.


   (e)     PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
           Broker-Dealer and its Registered Representatives are not authorized
           to provide any information or make any representation in connection
           with this Agreement or the solicitation of the Registered Products
           other than those contained in the prospectus or other promotional
           material produced or authorized by Companies or Distributor.

           Broker-Dealer agrees that if it develops any promotional material
           for sales, training, explanatory or other purposes in connection
           with the solicitation of applications for Registered Products,
           including generic advertising and/or training materials which may be
           used in connection with the sale of Registered Products, it will
           obtain the prior written consent of Distributor, and where
           appropriate, approval of Companies, such approval not to be
           unreasonably withheld.

   (f)     RECORD KEEPING
           Broker-Dealer is responsible for maintaining the records of its
           Registered Representatives.  Broker-Dealer shall maintain such other
           records as are required of it by applicable laws and regulations.
           The books, accounts and records maintained by Broker-Dealer that
           relate to the sale of the Registered Products, or dealings with the
           Companies, Distributor and/or Broker-Dealer shall be maintained so
           as to clearly and accurately disclose the nature and details of each
           transaction.

           Broker-Dealer acknowledges that all the records maintained by
           Broker-Dealer relating to the solicitation, service or sale of the
           Registered Products subject to this Agreement, including but not
           limited to applications, authorization cards, complaint files and
           suitability reviews, shall be available to Companies and Distributor
           upon request during normal business hours.  Companies and
           Distributor may retain copies of any such records which Companies
           and Distributor, in their discretion, deems necessary or desirable
           to keep.

   (g)     REFUND OF COMPENSATION
           Broker-Dealer agrees to repay Companies the total amount of any
           compensation which may have been paid to it within thirty (30)
           business days of notice of the request for such refund should
           Companies for any reason return any premium on a Registered Product
           which was solicited by a Registered Representative of Broker-Dealer.


   (h)     PREMIUM COLLECTION
           Broker-Dealer only has the authority to collect initial premiums
           unless specifically set forth in the applicable commission schedule.
           Unless previously authorized by Distributor, neither Broker-Dealer
           nor any of its Registered Representatives shall have any right to
           withhold or deduct any part of any premium it shall receive for
           purposes of payment of commission or otherwise.



V. COMPANIES AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR OBLIGATIONS

   (a)     PROSPECTUS/PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
           Companies and/or Distributor will provide Broker-Dealer with
           reasonable quantities of the currently effective prospectus for the
           Registered Products and appropriate sales promotional


                                        3
<PAGE>


           material which has been filed with the NASD, and applicable state
           insurance departments.

   (b)     COMPENSATION
           Distributor will pay Broker-Dealer as full compensation for all
           services rendered by Broker-Dealer under this Agreement, commissions
           and/or service fees in the amounts, in the manner and for the period
           of time as set forth in the Commission Schedules attached to this
           Agreement or subsequently made a part hereof, and which are in
           effect at the time such Registered Products are sold.  The manner of
           commission payments (I.E. fronted or trail) is not subject to change
           after the effective date of a contract for which the compensation is
           payable.

           Distributor or Companies may change the Commission Schedules
           attached to this Agreement at any time.  Such change shall become
           effective only when Distributor or Companies provide the Broker-
           Dealer with written notice of the change.  No such change shall
           affect any contracts issued upon applications received by Companies
           at Companies' Home Office prior to the effective date of such
           change.

           Distributor agrees to identify to Broker-Dealer for each such
           payment, the name of the Registered Representative of Broker-Dealer
           who solicited each contract covered by the payment.  Distributor
           will not compensate Broker-Dealer for any Registered Product which
           is tendered for redemption after acceptance of the application.  Any
           chargebacks will be assessed against the Broker-Dealer of record at
           the time of the redemption.

           Distributor will only compensate Broker-Dealer or Affiliates, as
           outlined below, for those applications accepted by Companies, and
           only after receipt by Companies at Companies' Home Office or at such
           other location as Companies may designate from time to time for its
           various lines of business, of the required premium and compliance by
           Broker-Dealer with any outstanding contract and prospectus delivery
           requirements.

           In the event that this Agreement terminates for fraudulent
           activities or due to a material breach by the Broker-Dealer,
           Distributor will only pay to Broker-Dealer or Affiliate commissions
           or other compensation earned prior to discovery of events requiring
           termination. No further commissions or other compensation shall
           thereafter be payable.

   (c)     COMPENSATION PAYABLE TO AFFILIATES
           If Broker-Dealer is unable to comply with state licensing
           requirements because of a legal impediment which prohibits a non-
           domiciliary corporation from becoming a licensed insurance agency or
           prohibits non-resident ownership of a licensed insurance agency,
           Distributor agrees to pay compensation to Broker-Dealer's
           contractually affiliated insurance agency, a wholly-owned life
           agency affiliate of Broker-Dealer, or a Registered Representative or
           principal of Broker-Dealer who is properly state licensed.  As
           appropriate, any reference in this Agreement to Broker-Dealer shall
           apply equally to such Affiliate. Distributor agrees to pay
           compensation to an Affiliate subject to Affiliates agreement to
           comply with the requirements of Exhibit B, attached hereto.


 VI.   TERMINATION

   (a)     This Agreement may be terminated by any party by giving thirty (30)
           days' notice in writing to the other party.

                                    EXHIBIT B

In accordance with Section V.(c) of the Broker-Dealer-Dealer Sales and
Supervision Agreement, no compensation is payable unless Broker-Dealer and
Registered Representative have first complied with all applicable state
insurance laws, rules and regulations.  Distributor must ensure that any Broker-
Dealer with whom Distributor intends to enter into an Agreement and any
Registered Representatives meet the licensing and registration requirements of
the state(s) Broker-Dealer operates in and the NASD.

Companies are required by the Insurance Department in all 50 states to pay
compensation only to individuals and entities that are properly insurance
licensed and appointed.  For registered products, Distributor must also comply
with NASD regulations that require Distributor to pay compensation to an NASD
registered Broker-Dealer.  Distributor must comply with both state and NASD
requirements.

Distributor requires confirmation that Broker-Dealer holds current state
insurance licenses or markets insurance products through a contractual affiliate
or wholly owned life agency, which is properly insurance licensed.  If Broker-
Dealer is properly state licensed then compensation may be paid to Broker-Dealer
in compliance with both state and NASD requirements.

If Broker-Dealer is not state insurance licensed and relies on the licensing of
a contractual affiliate or wholly owned life agency, the SEC has issued a number
of letters indicating that, under specific limited circumstances, it will take
"no action" against insurers (Distributor) paying compensation on registered
products to Broker-Dealer's contractual affiliate or wholly owned life agency.
At the request of Broker-Dealer, Distributor will provide copies of several of
these letters as well as a summary of their requirements.

If Broker-Dealer intends to rely on one of these "no-action" letters, legal
counsel for Broker-Dealer must confirm to Distributor in writing that all of the
circumstances of any one of the SEC no-action letters are applicable.  Broker-
Dealer's counsel must summarize each point upon which the no-action relief was
granted and represent that Broker-Dealer's method of operation is identical or
meets the same criteria.  Broker-Dealer's counsel must also confirm that, to the
best of counsel's knowledge, the SEC has not rescinded or modified its no-action
position since the letter was released.

The Broker-Dealer Sales and Supervision Agreement will not be finalized and no
new applications for registered products will be accepted or no new compensation
will be payable unless the appropriate proof of state licensing or no-action
relief is confirmed.  In addition to a letter from Broker-Dealer's counsel,
copies of the following documentation is required:

     --   life insurance licenses for all states in which Broker-Dealer holds
          these licenses and intends to operate and/or;

     --   life insurance licenses for any contractual affiliate or wholly owned
          life agency; and

     --   the SEC No-Action Letter that will be relied upon.


If you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact your Life
Licensing and Contracting representative.

RE: Separate Account Two (QP Variable Account) ("Separate Account")
    Hartford Life Insurance Company ("Company")
    File No. 33-19948

Dear Sir/Madam:

In my capacity as Associate General Counsel of the Company, I have supervised
the establishment of the Separate Account by the Board of Directors of the
Company as a separate account for assets applicable to Contracts offered by the
Company pursuant to Connecticut law.  I have participated in the preparation of
the registration statement for the Separate Account on Form N-4 under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to
the Contracts.

I am of the following opinion:

1.  The Separate Account is a separate account of the Company validly existing
    pursuant to Connecticut law and the regulations issued thereunder.

2.  The assets held in the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities
    arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

3.  The Contracts are legally issued and represent binding obligations of the
    Company.

In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of the law
and examined such records and other documents as in my opinion as are necessary
or appropriate.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933.

Sincerely,

/s/ Lynda Godkin

Lynda Godkin
Associate General Counsel & Secretary
