 LETTER TO CONTRACTHOLDERS
 
 Dear Contractholders,
 
 Although 1996 began and ended with the same "slow growth/low inflation"
 forecast, perceptions about the rate of economic growth and how it would
 affect the direction of Federal Reserve policy shifted rapidly during the
 year. Over the first six months of the year, bonds bore the brunt of shifting
 expectations. Prices tumbled as economic growth accelerated and inflation
 fears intensified. Stock investors, anticipating that a stronger economy could
 lead to stronger earnings, disregarded rising interest rates and pushed the
 major stock indexes to a series of new all-time highs. But even stocks proved
 vulnerable in July, giving up the bulk of their first half gains as interest
 rates moved above 7% and earnings forecasts were reduced. Then sharply slower
 third quarter growth reversed the downward trend in bonds and rekindled the
 rally in stocks. For the full year, stocks as measured by the S&P 500,
 returned just under 23% as cash flows into stock mutual funds shattered
 previous records. Bonds, as measured by the Shearson Lehman Aggregate Bond
 Index, more than made up for earlier losses, finishing the year with a
 positive return of better than 3.5%. But progress was far from even among
 market sectors. In general, high quality, large-cap stocks did the best. In
 the bond markets, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities outperformed
 government and corporate issues. In contrast to stocks, lower quality issues
 were the best performers within the corporate bond sector.
 
 As noted above, the consensus outlook still calls for slow growth and low
 inflation, which is precisely the background the financial markets want. But
 forecasts range widely, from a reacceleration of growth and inflationary
 pressures to additional slowing or even recession. As a result, we expect that
 the markets will continue concentrating on each new release of economic data
 looking for evidence of any shift from the central, slow growth forecast.
 Given that economic progress rarely proceeds smoothly, but rather fluctuates
 around a central trend, they are likely to find it. Fourth quarter growth
 forecasts, which as recently as November were being revised down from about a
 2.5% annual rate to 1.5% or less, are now being revised up to 3% or more.
 Accordingly, we expect that the sharp changes in direction that characterized
 the financial markets throughout 1996 will continue into 1997.

 INVESTMENT REVIEW - HARTFORD BOND FUND, INC.
 
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 For the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, Hartford Bond Fund returned 3.5%
 (net of mutual fund expenses) outperforming the 2.9% return of the Shearson
 Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index. We began the year with duration neutral
 to the index and significantly shorter than the average amount our peers,
 believing that the bond market was overextended and vulnerable to a correction.
 We maintained our neutral duration as interest rates moved up throughout the
 first half. Keying off the strength in the equity market we overweighted
 corporates. We also overweighted mortgage securities, finding particularly good
 value in discount fifteen-year paper.
 
 Expecting that the pace of economic growth would slow in the second half of the
 year, we extended duration, maintaining it in a range of 5% to 12% above that
 of the Index. Following a modification of the fund's investment policies
 permitting investment of up to 20% of the fund's assets in BB rated securities
 (the highest non-investment grade classification), we established a position in
 BB securities. This was a benefit to performance both because the sector
 outperformed the broad market and because of superior security selection with
 the sector. At year-end, we were evenly weighted relative to our benchmark in
 high yield issues.
 
 At year-end, bonds remained within their trading range, but appeared fairly
 priced without the excess optimism that characterized late 1995. Looking ahead,
 we expect the market to remain volatile as investors continue to monitor the
 economic data and speculate about potential changes in Federal Reserve policy.
 Although rates may not yet have established a top to their recent trading
 range, we expect that our overweighting in corporates and mortgages will
 provide some offset to our longer duration if rates back up. Longer term, we
 think the chances of weaker than expected economic growth may be greater than
 the "Street" currently thinks. Accordingly, we expect to maintain duration
 above that of the Index.

 INVESTMENT REVIEW - HARTFORD STOCK FUND, INC.
 
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 For the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, Hartford Stock Fund returned
 24.4% (net of mutual fund expenses). The Fund outperformed its benchmark as the
 S&P 500 Index returned 23.0%.
 
 While the U.S. equity market in 1995 was helped by falling interest rates and
 rising bond prices for most of the year, U.S. equities in 1996 were basically
 on their own as interest rates actually rose during the first half of the year
 and then fell during the second half as evidence of an economic slowdown
 mounted. The ride in 1996 was not as smooth as the one in 1995 with a major
 bump in the road during July from which many small cap growth companies never
 recovered.
 
 The major factors underlying good performance during 1996 were earnings growth
 and size, with large cap stocks outdistancing small cap stocks by a wide
 margin. Strong performers during the year included energy service, electronics,
 banks, brokers, computers, cosmetics and household products and aerospace. Weak
 groups included media and entertainment, electric and telephone utilities,
 paper and forest products, metals and mining and restaurants.
 
 In 1996, the Stock Fund was helped by an emphasis on large companies; an
 overweight in technology, financial services, heath care and aerospace; strong
 performance by a number of the top ten holdings like GENERAL ELECTRIC,
 CITICORP, IBM, TRAVELERS and PROCTOR & GAMBLE; and pretty good stock selection.
 We also were fortunate to have had three of our holdings become the target of
 take-over bids during the year: U.S. Healthcare, Conrail, and MCI. We did have
 a few disappointments. Wal-Mart, and McDonald's, two of our top ten names, both
 lagged the market as their U.S. results were below expectations.
 
 Going forward, we remain optimistic about the U.S. equity market. Inflation
 remains under control, economic growth is moderate, corporate earnings growth
 looks reasonable and valuations do not look overly exuberant except in certain
 relatively isolated cases. We expect cash flows into the market to remain
 strong and takeover activity to continue. We also expect companies to continue
 to be aggressive buyers of their own stocks. While 1995 and 1996 have been
 spectacular back to back years, we see no reason to back away from the market,
 unless interest rates begin a sustained move upward as a result of very rapid
 economic growth. Right now, we see nothing on the horizon that indicates such a
 problem.

 INVESTMENT REVIEW - HARTFORD ADVISERS FUND, INC.
 
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 For the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, Hartford Advisers Fund returned
 16.6% (net of mutual fund expenses). The Fund outperformed its Composite
 benchmark, which returned 13.9%. The Composite Index is a combination of three
 indices with the following weightings: 55% S&P 500 Index, 35% Lehman Brothers
 Government/Corporate Bond Index (LGC), and 10% 90-day Treasury Bill Index.
 
 The most significant factor in the Fund's outperformance versus its benchmark
 for the year was the high equity ratio in a year when stocks outperformed bonds
 by a wide margin. The S&P 500 Index returned 23.0% for the year while the
 Lehman Brothers Government Corporate Index returned 2.9%.
 
 During 1996, the yield on the 30 Year Treasury Bond, which began the year at
 5.9%, rose to 7.2% and ended the year at 6.7%. Although this level of
 volatility is more subdued than the volatility of 1994, 1994, and 1995, it
 still marks a level of unease in the fixed income markets which seems
 remarkable in light of the low and stable level of inflation. In spite of the
 market's discomfort with the general level of interest rates, 1996 was a year
 during which investors were increasingly comfortable with other types of bond
 market risk. Corporate bonds of all quality ratings performed well relative to
 Treasury securities of similar duration as investors became increasingly
 comfortable with credit risk. Mortgage securities outperformed their Treasury
 equivalents as investors became less concerned with refinancing risk. In
 summary, higher yielding alternatives to Treasury securities performed well as
 investors sought higher yields.
 
 Recognizing the strong equity performance during 1996, we reduced the equity
 ratio in the fourth quarter by 5%. The equity ratio, which had risen to 70% of
 portfolio value was reduced to 65%. This new commitment still reflects our view
 that the equity market is likely to provide competitive performance during
 1997, but does remove a few of the chips from the table. We expect bonds to
 outperform cash during 1997 so we will keep the non-equity portion of the
 portfolio invested to a large extent in fixed income securities rather than
 permitting the cash portion allocation to rise.

 INVESTMENT REVIEW - HARTFORD CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, INC.
 
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 For the twelve months ended December 3, 1996, Hartford Capital Appreciation
 Fund returned 20.7% (net of mutual fund expenses), matching its composite
 benchmark. The Composite Index is comprised of 40% S&P 500 Index and 60%
 Russell 2500 Index.
 
 The market environment in 1996 was favorable for larger capitalization
 companies and unforgiving toward smaller companies where any glitch in earnings
 progress, virtually regardless of degree, was generally rewarded with an
 immediate negative judgment by the market. Fortunately, the Fund had fewer of
 the latter ilk than many in our peer group, but by virtue of our barbell, off
 the beaten path, smaller cap approach, we were significantly underrepresented
 in the very large capitalization stocks that carried the day during the year,
 and during 1995 as well. As to whether the concentration of investment flows to
 this genre has been due to "MegaCap Mania" resulting from chasing of
 performance-or to prudent recognition of investment value--only time will tell.
 The truth probably lies somewhere in between these extremes.
 
 The Fund's strategy remains dual-faceted. We maintain an emphasis on smaller
 companies with dynamic earnings growth prospects, and couple that with an
 opportunistic trading approach to larger cap stocks where we see a catalyst for
 outperformance.

 INVESTMENT REVIEW - HARTFORD MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND, INC.
 
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 For the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, Hartford Mortgage Securities
 Fund returned 5.07% (net of mutual fund expenses) compared to 5.35% for its
 benchmark the Lehman Mortgage Backed Securities Index (LEH MBS).
 
 Mortgages outperformed other sectors of the bond market over the first six
 months of the year when interest rates rose about 100 basis points as the
 markets reacted to stronger than expected economic growth. Mortgage securities
 continued to outperform in the third quarter, but gave back some of their
 advantage in the fourth quarter as the market rallied and prepayment fears
 increased.
 
 During the year, fund performance benefited from holdings in non-Agency CMOs,
 which did well as spreads tightened. Performance was also boosted by holdings
 of seasoned paper and by our ongoing strategy of holding trading costs to a
 minimum. As a result, fund performance was higher than that of the Index, but
 not by enough to offset expenses.
 
 As 1996 closed, bonds appeared to be fairly priced relative to expected
 inflation. We expect that the market will continue to be volatile as investors
 continue focusing on, and at times overreacting to, the monthly releases of
 economic data. At year-end duration and yield curve sensitivity in the fund
 were positioned about equal to those of the Index. The additional yield we
 obtained from "up in coupon" trades made late in the year will benefit the fund
 if rates move higher.

 INVESTMENT REVIEW - HARTFORD INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND, INC.
 
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 For the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, Hartford International
 Opportunities Fund returned 12.9% (net of mutual fund expenses). The Fund
 outperformed its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International--Europe
 Australia Far East--Gross Domestic Product Weighted Index (EAFE GDP Net), which
 returned 7.6%.
 
 In general, markets throughout the world were up during 1995, led by the U.S.
 In the U.S., stocks (S&P 500 Index) returned 23.0% for the year. In Japan, (the
 world's second largest equity market), by contrast, total returns were down
 more than 11% in local currency and over 15% in U.S. dollars. Much of this
 decline came late in the year as Japanese local investors became increasingly
 pessimistic about the future economic growth about the deregulation of the
 financial system. The portfolio's lower than index weighting in Japan boosted
 relative performance.
 
 The European markets, on the whole, posted strong returns, driven by falling
 interest rates and expected economic and earnings acceleration in 1997. The
 U.K. equity market (the world's third largest) provided a return in local
 currency of almost 16% and a total return of more than 27% in U.S. dollars.
 Latin American markets also ended the year on positive note. Brazil, in
 particular, had a very strong showing, returning more than 50% in local
 currency and almost 43% in U.S. dollars.
 
 The Fund's largest country weightings are in Japan, the U.K. and Germany.
 Relative to its benchmark, the Fund's underweighting in Japan was the strongest
 positive contributor to relative outperformance, and stock selection in Japan
 was so strong. The Fund's underweighting in the U.K. hurt relative performance,
 but stock selection was positive there as well. Stock selection in Canada,
 Germany and Brazil made positive contributions to performance.
 
 Although the market has become very pessimistic on the outlook for Japan, much
 of the data about the current state of the economy shows continued moderate
 growth and low inflation. Moreover, results for Japan's fiscal semi-annual
 period ended September 30, which were finished being reported in December,
 produced earnings exceeding, on average, the companies' and analysts'
 forecasts. Our overall view on Japan remains relatively cautious given the
 structural challenges ahead and the relatively soft economic picture, but at
 the moment excessive pessimism seems to rule and we have been buying on market
 weakness.

 INVESTMENT REVIEW - HARTFORD DIVIDEND AND GROWTH FUND, INC.
 
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund's return was 22.9% (net of mutual fund
 expenses) for the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, essentially matching
 the S&P 500 Index's return of 23.0%.
 
 Sector allocation in 1996 was extremely important, as returns varied widely
 across groups. Overall, the Fund's sector allocation was a negative contributor
 to performance versus the S&P 500 of the year, but strong stock selection in
 many areas made up for this deficit.
 
 The top three performing sectors for the year were information technology,
 finance, and industrial & commercial. The Fund's overweighting in finance and
 strong stock selection in the group were important contributors to its return
 for the year. The finance sector offered companies with attractive dividend
 yields and growth opportunities which are consistent with the Fund's
 conservative approach. In contrast, the Fund was underweighted in both the
 soaring technology sector and the industrial & commercial names and
 overweighted in the lagging utility group. An overweighted position in
 utilities and an underweighted position in technology are also consistent with
 the Fund's bias toward conservative high yielding companies. Stock selection in
 health care was particularly strong.
 
 Large cap stocks once again outperformed small caps in the period, a positive
 for the Fund.
 
 The U.S. economic expansion is now almost six years old, and still shows few
 signs of excess. Growth is moderate, inflation is well under control, leading
 to a relatively stable interest rate environment. Corporate profits, driven by
 a continuing focus on cost control and productivity gains, should show moderate
 gains again in 1997. In short, the backdrop is constructive for equities. The
 primary concern is the enthusiasm already built into the market, i.e., recent
 returns. Looking ahead, it is difficult to make a case for equity returns in
 line with 1995 and 1996, but there also does not seem to be anything looming to
 create a sustained downdraft. We expect that the Fund's conservative approach
 and stock selection focus can continue to provide attractive results to
 investors.

 INVESTMENT REVIEW - HARTFORD INTERNATIONAL ADVISERS FUND, INC.
 
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 Hartford International Advisers Fund returned 11.8% for the year ended December
 31, 1996 (net of mutual fund expenses). The Fund outperformed its Composite
 benchmark, which returned 8.9%. The Composite Index is a combination of three
 indices with the following weightings: 55% Morgan Stanley Capital
 International--Europe Australia Far East--Gross Domestic Product--Weighted
 Index (EAFE GDP Net), 35% Salomon Brothers non-U.S. World Government Bond
 Hedged Index, and 10% 90-day Treasury Bill Index (55/35/10).
 
 1996 was a great year for the global bond markets that gained 11.8%, fueled by
 spectacular interest rate declines in Italy (3.3.%), Spain (2.9%), and Sweden
 (2.6%). Interestingly, interest rates in the U.S. actually increased 0.85%--
 the only OECD country to experience rising interest rates.
 
 For the year, the dollar appreciated 10% on average against the Yen and Mark.
 At the present levels, we believe the U.S. dollar is fairly valued against
 these major global competitors.
 
 We expect the moderate global economic growth and low inflation macroeconomic
 environment to continue into the first quarter of 1997. We anticipate that the
 U.S. economy should continue its late 1996 trend of moderate real GDP growth
 and inflation. After years of slow economic growth, the European economy should
 accelerate in 1997. Low interest rates, competitive currencies, rising capital
 investment and confident consumers will propel real GDP, on average, higher
 than 1996. Inflation is near record low levels across the continent. In Japan,
 a modest economic recovery continues to unfold within a structural deflation
 cycle. After growing above 3% over 1996, the economy will decelerate towards 2%
 in 1997. Moderate private consumption and strong investment will offset the
 anticipated contraction in fiscal policy.
 
 As in 1996, we are still positive on the global economic cycle and believe
 equities and fixed income securities will outperform cash in the first quarter.
 Accordingly, the Fund begins 1997 with an asset allocation mix of 57% equities,
 38% bonds, and 5% cash.

 INVESTMENT REVIEW - HARTFORD SMALL COMPANY FUND, INC.
 
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 The Hartford Small Company Fund returned 4.7% for the four month period ended
 December 31, 1996 (net of mutual fund expenses). (The Fund began operations on
 August 9, 1996.) The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index,
 which returned 9.3% for the same period.
 
 Small cap stocks lagged the broader market during the period since inception of
 the Fund, and indeed during all of 1996. For the four months ending December
 31, 1996, small stocks, as represented by the Russell 2000 Index, returned
 9.3%, while large stocks, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, returned 14.4%.
 Similarly, for the year, the small cap universe, as represented by the Russell
 2000 Index, lagged the S&P 500 Index by 6.5%.
 
 In addition, 1996 was characterized by exceptional volatility among sectors of
 small company stocks. Technology stocks did exceedingly well in the first half
 but were decimated in July and August. Retail stocks did well in the summer but
 were crushed in the fourth quarter as the holiday selling season did not live
 up to early promise. Health care was weak all year, while the financial and oil
 service sectors were strong all year. The favored list grew smaller and smaller
 as the year progressed and the market favored the very biggest of the NASDAQ
 stocks. Indeed, the ten largest stocks in the NASDAQ Composite, measured by
 market capitalization, provided over 50% of NASDAQ's total return for the year.
 
 Sector performance will remain critical for the Fund, as the nature of the
 small cap market will lead, at least to some degree, to sector concentration.
 Excellent small companies congregate in certain industries that do not demand
 scale economies. Focused product lines, closeness to the customer, rapid
 innovation and response times are all areas where small companies excel.
 Consequently, the portfolio will generally have significant weightings in the
 technology, health care, specialty finance, and retail sectors. These are areas
 of the market where the best entrepreneurs gather, and where the Fund will
 continue to be well represented.

 DC VARIABLE ACCOUNT-I
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    DC Variable Account-I (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. Dividends 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 and Calvert
        Responsibly Invested Series mutual funds are valued at the closing net
        asset value per share as determined by the appropriate Fund as of
        December 31, 1996.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--For Federal income tax purposes, the Account
        intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M
        of the Internal Revenue Code by distributing substantially all of its
        taxable income to variable annuity contractholders and otherwise
        complying with the requirements for regulated investment companies.
        Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made. For
        purposes of determining net realized taxable gains to be distributed,
        the capital gains and losses of each Sub-Account within the Account are
        combined. Distribution of any net realized capital gains so determined
        will be made to the contract owners of the Sub-Account having net
        realized capital gains. The cumulative realized losses used to offset
        realized capital gains in each Sub-Account will be considered in the
        determination of future distributions of realized capital gains to each
        Sub-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
        contractholders' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the
        contracts.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
DC VARIABLE ACCOUNT-I AND TO THE
 OWNERS OF UNITS OF INTEREST THEREIN:
 
 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
 Hartford Life Insurance Company DC Variable Account-I (the Account) as of
 December 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations for the year then
 ended and statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
 period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
 Accounts' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
 financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
 standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
 reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
 material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
 supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
 also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
 estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
 statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
 for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
 all material respects, the financial posi-
 tion of Hartford Life Insurance Company DC Variable
 Account-I as of December 31, 1996, the results of its operations for the year
 then ended and the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the
 period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 SEPARATE ACCOUNT ONE
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    Separate Account One (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 life contractholders of the Company in various mutual
    funds (the Funds) as directed by the contractholders.
 
 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the
    Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles in the investment company industry:
 
    a)  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions are recorded on the trade
        date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of investments
        sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividends and
        capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital
        gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized
        as capital gains under tax regulations.
 
    b)  SECURITY VALUATION--The investment in shares of the Funds are valued at
        the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate
        Fund as of December 31, 1996.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of, and
        are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as
        an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,
        no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of
        the Account.
 
    d)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
        management's estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    a)  MORTALITY AND EXPENSE UNDERTAKINGS--The Company, as issuer of variable
        life insurance contracts, provides the mortality and expense
        undertakings and, with respect to the Account, receives an annual fee of
        0.90% of the Account's average daily net assets.
 
    b)  DEDUCTION OF OTHER FEES--In accordance with the terms of the contracts,
        the Company makes deductions for the cost of insurance, administrative
        fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted through
        termination of units of interest from applicable contractholders'
        accounts in accordance with the terms of the contract.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ONE AND TO THE
 OWNERS OF UNITS OF INTEREST THEREIN:
 
 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
 Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account One (the Account) as of
 December 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations for the year then
 ended and statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
 period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
 Accounts' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
 financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
 standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
 reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
 material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
 supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
 also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
 estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
 statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
 for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
 all material respects, the financial position of Hartford Life Insurance
 Company Separate Account One as of December 31, 1996, the results of its
 operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for each
 of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with generally accepted
 accounting principles.

 Separate Account Two
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 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. Dividends 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, 1996.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of, and
        are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as
        an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,
        no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of
        the Account.
 
    d)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
        management's estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    a)  MORTALITY AND EXPENSE UNDERTAKINGS--The Company, as issuer of variable
        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
SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO AND TO THE
 OWNERS OF UNITS OF INTEREST THEREIN:
 
 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
 Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account Two (the Account) as of
 December 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations for the year then
 ended and statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
 period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
 Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
 financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
 standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
 reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
 material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
 supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
 also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
 estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
 statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
 for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
 all material respects, the financial position of Hartford Life Insurance
 Company Separate Account Two as of December 31, 1996, the results of its
 operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for each
 of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with generally accepted
 accounting principles.

 SEPARATE ACCOUNT VARIABLE LIFE ONE
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    Separate Account Variable Life One (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. The
    Account consists of twenty two sub-accounts. These financial statements
    include twelve sub-accounts which invest solely in Hartford Mutual Funds and
    Fidelity Mutual Funds (the Funds). The other ten sub-accounts, which invest
    in Putnam Variable Trust Funds, are presented in separate financial
    statements. Both the Company and the Account are subject to supervision and
    regulation by the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and
    the SEC. The Account invests deposits by variable life contractholders of
    the Company in the 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 Funds are valued at
        the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate
        Fund as of December 31, 1996.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of, and
        are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as
        an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,
        no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of
        the Account.
 
    d)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
        management's estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes deductions
    for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, administrative
    fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted through
    termination of units of interest from applicable contractholders' accounts
    in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

    the Company in 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. Dividends 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, and
        Fidelity mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per
        share as determined by the appropriate Fund as of December 31, 1996.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of, and
        are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as
        an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,
        no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of
        the Account.
 
    d)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
        management's estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes deductions
    for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, administrative
    fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted through
    termination of units of interest from applicable contractholders' accounts
    in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

 SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    Separate Account Five (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 life contractholders of the Company in various mutual
    funds (the Funds) as directed by the contractholders.
 
 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the
    Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles in the investment company industry:
 
    a)  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions are recorded on the trade
        date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of investments
        sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividends and
        capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital
        gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized
        as capital gains under tax regulations.
 
    b)  SECURITY VALUATION--The investment in shares of the Funds are valued at
        the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate
        Fund as of December 31, 1996.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of, and
        are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as
        an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,
        no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of
        the Account.
 
    d)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
        management's estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes deductions
    for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, administrative
    fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted through
    termination of units of interest from applicable contractholders' accounts
    in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE AND TO THE
 OWNERS OF UNITS OF INTEREST THEREIN:
 
 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
 Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account Five (the Account) as of
 December 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations for the year then
 ended and statements of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31,
 1996 and the period from inception, January 10, 1995, to December 31, 1995.
 These financial statements are the responsibility of the Account's management.
 Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
 on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
 standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
 reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
 material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
 supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
 also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
 estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
 statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
 for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
 all material respects, the financial position of Hartford Life Insurance
 Company Separate Account Five as of December 31, 1996, the results of its
 operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for the
 year ended December 31, 1996 and the period from inception, January 10, 1995,
 to December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
 principles.

 SEPARATE ACCOUNT ONE
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    Separate Account One (the Account) is a separate investment account within
    ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the Company) and is
    registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a unit
    investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 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. Dividends and
        capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital
        gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized
        as capital gains under tax regulations.
 
    b)  SECURITY VALUATION--The investment in shares of the Funds are valued at
        the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate
        Fund as of December 31, 1996.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of, and
        are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as
        an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,
        no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of
        the Account.
 
    d)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
        management's estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    a)  MORTALITY AND EXPENSE UNDERTAKINGS--The Company, as issuer of variable
        annuity contracts, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and,
        with respect to the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of 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
        contractholders' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the
        contracts.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ONE AND TO THE
 OWNERS OF UNITS OF INTEREST THEREIN:
 
 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of ITT
 Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account One (the Account)
 as of December 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations for the year
 then ended and statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in
 the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
 Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
 financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
 standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
 reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
 material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
 supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
 also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
 estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
 statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
 for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
 all material respects, the financial position of ITT Hartford Life and Annuity
 Insurance Company Separate Account One as of December 31, 1996, the results of
 its operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for
 each of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with generally
 accepted accounting principles.

 SEPARATE ACCOUNT VARIABLE LIFE ONE
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    Separate Account Variable Life One (the Account) is a separate investment
    account within ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the Company)
    and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a
    unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
    The Account consists of twenty two sub-accounts. These financial statements
    include twelve sub-accounts which invest solely in Hartford Mutual Funds and
    Fidelity Mutual Funds (the Funds). The other ten sub-accounts, which invest
    in the Putnam Variable Trust Funds, are presented in separate financial
    statements. Both the Company and the Account are subject to supervision and
    regulation by the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and
    the SEC. The Account invests deposits by variable life contractholders of
    the Company in the 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. Dividends and
        capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital
        gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized
        as capital gains under tax regulations.
 
    b)  SECURITY VALUATION--The investment in shares of the funds are valued at
        the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate
        Fund as of December 31, 1996.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of, and
        are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as
        an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,
        no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of
        the Account.
 
    d)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
        management's estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes deductions
    for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, administrative
    fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted through
    termination of units of interest from applicable contractholders' accounts
    in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

 SEPARATE ACCOUNT VARIABLE LIFE TWO
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    Separate Account Variable Life Two (the Account) is a separate investment
    account within ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the Company)
    and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a
    unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
    The Account consists of twenty two sub-accounts. These financial statements
    include twelve sub-accounts which invest solely in Hartford Mutual Funds and
    Fidelity Mutual Funds (the Funds). The other ten sub-accounts, which invest
    in Putnam Variable Trust Funds, are presented in separate financial
    statements. Both the Company and the Account are subject to supervision and
    regulation by the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and
    the SEC. The Account invests deposits by variable life contractholders of
    the Company in the 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. Dividends 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, and
        Fidelity mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per
        share as determined by the appropriate Fund as of December 31, 1996.
 
    c)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The operations of the Account form a part of, and
        are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as
        an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law,
        no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of
        the Account.
 
    d)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
        make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
        management's estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes deductions
    for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, administrative
    fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted through
    termination of units of interest from applicable contractholders' accounts
    in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

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

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE AND TO THE
 OWNERS OF UNITS OF INTEREST THEREIN:
 
 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of ITT
 Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account Five (the Account)
 as of December 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations for the year
 then ended and statements of changes in net assets for the year ended December
 31, 1996 and the period from inception, January 10, 1995, to December 31, 1995.
 These financial statements are the responsibility of the Account's management.
 Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
 on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
 standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
 reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
 material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
 supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
 also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
 estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
 statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
 for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
 all material respects, the financial position of ITT Hartford Life and Annuity
 Insurance Company Separate Account Five as of December 31, 1996, the results of
 its operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for
 the year ended December 31, 1996 and the period from inception, January 10,
 1995, to December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
 principles.

 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds,
    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). Security gains and
       losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
    b)  SECURITY VALUATION--Debt securities (other than short-term obligations)
       are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an unaffiliated
       pricing service which determines valuations for normal institutional size
       trading units of debt securities. Mortgage securities are valued at the
       bid price. Short-term securities held in the HVA Money Market Fund, Inc.
       and Hartford U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Inc. are valued at
       amortized cost or original cost plus
 
                                      140
<PAGE>
       accrued interest receivable, both of which approximate market value. In
       Hartford Bond Fund, Inc., Hartford Stock Fund, Inc., Hartford Advisers
       Fund, Inc., Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc., Hartford Mortgage
       Securities Fund, Inc., Hartford Index Fund, Inc., Hartford International
       Opportunities Fund, Inc., Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Inc.,
       Hartford International Advisers Fund, Inc., and Hartford Small Company
       Fund Inc., short-term investments with a maturity of 60 days or less when
       purchased are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
       Short-term investments with a maturity of more than 60 days when
       purchased are valued based on market quotations until the remaining days
       to maturity become less than 61 days. From such time until maturity, the
       investments are valued at amortized cost.
 
      Equity securities are valued at the last sales price reported on principal
      securities exchanges (domestic or foreign). If no sale occurred on such
      day and in the case of certain equity securities traded over-the-counter,
      then such securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked
      prices. Securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S.
      dollars at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Options
      are valued at the last sales price; if no sale occurred on such day, then
      options are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices.
      Securities for which market quotations are not readily available and all
      other assets are valued in good faith at fair value by a person designated
      by the Funds' Board of Directors.
 
    c)  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS--The accounting records of the Funds are
       maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially
       expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at
       prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities,
       dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the
       rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
       transactions.
 
      The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations
      resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from
      the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities
      held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized
      gain or loss on investments.
 
      Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
      portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, and the difference
      between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies
      and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net
      unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the
      value of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities at the end
      of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
 
    d)  REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS--A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which
       the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security sold at a
       mutually agreed upon time and price. At the time the Funds enter into a
       repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying collateral
       security(ies), including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the
       value of the repurchase agreement and, in the case of repurchase
       agreements exceeding one day, the value of the underlying security(ies),
       including accrued interest, is required during the term of the agreement
       to be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement.
       Securities which serve to collateralize the repurchase agreement are held
       by each Fund's custodian in book entry or physical form in the custodial
       account of the Fund. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus
       accrued interest receivable.
 
      In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, ACCOUNTING FOR
      TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF
      LIABILITIES. This Statement provides consistent standards for
      distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers
      that are secured borrowings. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 125,
      transfers of certain financial assets, such as repurchase agreements, are
      required to be accounted for as sales if control, as defined, over those
      assets has been surrendered by the transferor. The Statement also requires
      collateral under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions
      to be separately classified by the debtor and recognized as an asset by
      the creditor in the respective financial statements if certain conditions
      are met. SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers of financial assets
      occurring after December 31, 1996, except for certain transfers for which
      the effective date has been delayed to January 1, 1998 by SFAS No. 127,
      DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF FASB STATEMENT NO.
      125, issued by the FASB in December 1996. Management does not believe the
      adoption of this new accounting standard will have a material impact on
      the financial position or future results of operations of the Funds.

 HARTFORD MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
    e)  JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT--Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the
       Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds may transfer uninvested
       cash balances into a joint trading account managed by Hartford Investment
       Management Company (HIMCO). These balances may be invested in one or more
       repurchase agreements and/or short-term money market instruments.
 
    f)  FUTURES, OPTIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS--The Funds enter
       into futures contracts to retain their cash balances and yet be exposed
       to the market thereby providing the liquidity necessary to accommodate
       redemptions while at the same time providing shareholders the investment
       return of a fully invested portfolio. A futures contract is an agreement
       between two parties to buy and sell a security for a set price on a
       future date. When the funds enter into such contracts, they are required
       to deposit with their custodian an amount of "initial margin" of cash or
       U.S. Treasury bills. Subsequent payments, called maintenance margin, to
       and from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the price of the
       underlying debt security fluctuates, making the long and short positions
       in the futures contract more or less valuable (i.e., mark-to-market),
       which results in an unrealized gain or loss to the Funds. The market
       value of a traded futures contract is the last sale price or, in the
       absence of a last sale price, the last offering price or, in the absence
       of either of these prices, fair value is determined according to
       procedures established by the Funds' Board of Directors. The variation
       margin on futures contracts is included in excess of cash and receivables
       over liabilities or excess of liabilities over cash and receivables, as
       applicable, in the Fund's Statement of Net Assets.
 
      At any time prior to expiration of the futures contract, the Funds may
      close the position by taking an opposite position which would operate to
      terminate the position in the futures contract. A final determination of
      maintenance margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by
      or released to the Funds and the Funds realize a gain or loss.
 
      The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is
      included in the Fund's Statement of Net Assets as excess of cash and
      receivables over liabilities or excess of liabilities over cash and
      receivables and subsequently "marked to market" to reflect the current
      market value of the option purchased as of the end of the reporting
      period. If an option which the Fund has purchased expires on its
      stipulated expiration date, the Fund realizes a loss in the amount of the
      cost of the option. If the Fund enters into a closing transaction, it
      realizes a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from the sale
      are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises a
      put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying
      security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium
      originally paid. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the
      security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the
      premium originally paid.
 
    g)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--For Federal income tax purposes, the Funds intend
       to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter
       M of the Internal Revenue Code by distributing substantially all of their
       taxable income to their shareholders or otherwise complying with the
       requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no
       provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying
       Financial Statements.
 
    h)  FUND SHARE VALUATION AND DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Orders
       for the Fund's shares are executed in accordance with the investment
       instructions of the contract owners. Dividend income is accrued as of the
       ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are accrued on a daily
       basis. The net asset value of the Fund's shares is determined as of the
       close of each business day of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange).
       Orders for the purchase of the Funds' shares received prior to the close
       of the Exchange on any day on which the fund is open for business are
       priced at the per-share net asset value determined as of the close of the
       Exchange. Orders received after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on
       which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced
       at the per-share net asset value next determined.
 
      Dividends are declared by the Funds' Board of Directors based upon the
      investment performance of the respective Funds. The policy with respect to
      the Hartford Bond Fund, Inc., Hartford Stock Fund, Inc., Hartford Advisers
      Fund, Inc., Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc., Hartford Mortgage
      Securities Fund, Inc., Hartford Index Fund, Inc., Hartford International
      Opportunities Fund, Inc., Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Inc.,
      Hartford International Advisers Fund, Inc. and Hartford Small Company
      Fund, Inc. is to distribute dividends from net investment income monthly
      and distribute realized capital gains, if any, annually.
 
      HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. and Hartford U.S. Government Money Market
      Fund, Inc. seek to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00 by
      declaring a daily dividend from net investment income, including net
      short-term capital gains and losses, and by valuing their investments
      using the amortized cost method. Dividends are distributed monthly.
 
                                      142
<PAGE>
      Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
      income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
      principles. These differences include the treatment of non-taxable
      dividends, expiring capital loss carryforwards, foreign currency
      gain/loss, partnerships, and losses deferred due to cash sales and excise
      tax regulations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to
      shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital
      accounts (see Note 7).
 
    i)  FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS--As of December 31, 1996, Hartford Capital
       Appreciation Fund, Inc., Hartford International Opportunities Fund, Inc.
       and Hartford International Advisers Fund, Inc. have entered into forward
       foreign currency exchange contracts that obligate the Funds to repurchase
       currencies at specified future dates. The Funds enter into forward
       foreign currency contracts to manage currency exchange rate risk. The
       forward foreign currency contracts cost are included in excess cash and
       receivables over liabilities or excess liabilities over cash and
       receivables, as applicable, in the Funds Statement of Net Assets.
 
      Forward contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount
      reflected in the Statement of Net Assets. The Fund bears the risk of an
      unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward
      contract.
 
    j)  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.

 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
 standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
 reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
 material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
 supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
 procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1996,
 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the
 accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
 well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
 that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
 above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
