                                 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                           
The following unaudited financial statements reflect, in the opinion of 
management, all adjustments which are of normal recurring nature necessary to 
present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and the cash 
flows for the periods presented.  Certain reclassifications of prior year 
results were made to conform to current presentation.  Interim results are 
not indicative of the results which may be expected for any other interim 
period or the full year.  Certain of the statements contained herein (other 
than statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements.  Forward 
looking statements are made based upon management's expectations and belief 
concerning future developments and their potential effect upon Hartford Life 
Insurance Company ("Hartford Life").  There can be no assurance that future 
developments will be in accordance with management's expectation or that the 
effect of future developments on Hartford Life will be those anticipated by 
management.  Actual results could differ materially from those expected by 
Hartford Life, depending on the outcome of certain factors, including those 
described with the forward-looking statements.  For a description of 
accounting policies, see Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 
1996 Form 10-K.

Net income increased $20 or 47% to $63 in the first quarter of 1997 from $43 
in the first quarter of 1996.  This increase is reflective of continued, 
solid growth in both the Annuity and Individual Life Insurance reported 
segments.  Net income in the Annuity segment grew $10 or 30% over the same 
period last year. Net income in the Individual Life Insurance segment grew $2 
or 22% over the first three months of 1996.  Guaranteed Contracts reported no 
net income in the first quarter of 1997, as compared with a $15 loss in the 
first quarter of 1996 consistent with management's expectations that net 
income subsequent to 1996 will be immaterial.

Revenues, which are primarily comprised of investment income and management 
and maintenance fees, grew 20% to $280 in the first quarter of 1997 from $234 
in 1996.  This growth resulted from a 32% increase in the average account 
value to $52 billion in 1997, as well as an increase in new sales of $495 or 
21% over the same period last year.  Growth in the assets under management by 
this segment also resulted in increased expenses of $36 or 18% to $237 in 
1997 from $201 in 1996.  Net income increased $10 or 30% to $43 in 1997 from 
$33 in 1996.

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

Revenues decreased $4 or 4% to $111 in 1997 from $115 in 1996 due to the 
assumption of traditional life premium from Investor's Equity Life of $9 into 
segment operations in 1996.  Sales increased $2 or 9% in the first quarter of 
1997 over the first quarter of 1996 and insurance in-force increased $3.7 
billion or 8% in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the first quarter 
of 1996.   Expenses in this segment declined 6% or $6 to $100 in 1997 from 
$106 in 1996 due to the one time assumption of Investor's Equity Life in 
1996.  Net income increased $2 or 22% to $11 in 1997 from $9 in 1996.

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

Revenues declined $365 or 67% to $179 in the first quarter of 1997 from $544 
in the first quarter of 1996. This decline is mainly related to the passage 
of the HIPA Act of 1996, which effectively eliminated all future sales of 
leveraged COLI.  Accordingly, expenses in this segment declined $363 or 68% 
for the same time period. Net income decreased 25% or $2 to $6 in 1997 from 
$8 in 1996.

This segment had no net income in the first quarter of 1997, as compared with 
a $15 loss in the first quarter of 1996, consistent with management's 
expectations that net income (loss) from Closed Book GRC in the years 
subsequent to 1996 will be immaterial based on the Company's current 
projections for the performance of the assets and liabilities associated with 
Closed Book GRC.

                HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   
HARTFORD LIFE INCORPORATED INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING 

On February 10, 1997, Hartford Life Incorporated ("HLI") filed a registration 
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an initial 
public offering of up to 20% of HLI common stock.  HLI is the holding company 
parent of The Hartford's significant life insurance and related subsidiaries. 
Management intends to use the proceeds from the offering to reduce certain 
debt outstanding, to fund growth initiatives, and for other general corporate 
purposes.  Management of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. believes 
the offering will strengthen Hartford Life Insurance Company's financial 
position and flexibility.  If and when the offering is completed, The 
Hartford's current intent is to continue to beneficially own at least 80% of 
HLI, but it is under no contractual obligation to do so.  The offering is 
expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1997.  

HARTFORD LIFE INCORPORATED DEBT OFFERING

On February 14, 1997, HLI filed a shelf registration statement for the 
issuance and sale of up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of senior debt 
securities, subordinated debt securities and preferred stock of HLI.  
Management intends to use the proceeds from any offering for the repayment of 
debt, including outstanding commercial paper and other third party 
indebtedness and the satisfaction of other obligations, for working capital, 
capital expenditures, investments in or loans to subsidiaries and for other 
general corporate purposes.
