 A Message From The President
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Dear Valued Client:
 
 In a recent public address, Abby Joseph Cohen, Investment Policy Committee
 co-chair at Goldman, Sachs & Co., addressed the question "Whither Wall
 Street?" this way:
 "WE HAVE TO BECOME ACCUSTOMED, ONCE AGAIN, TO NORMAL."
 Certainly, we are seeing the market move from a period of sustained,
 record-breaking performance to one where normalcy reigns. But while a return
 to normalcy may affect "quick hit" stock pickers, it should not phase
 investors focused on the long-term.
 Perhaps that is one reason why Hartford Life insurance products have continued
 to experience a level of popularity and recognition that is anything BUT
 normal. During 1997, we ranked amoung the top five sellers of variable life
 insurance in the nation. And our total assets broke the $100 billion mark.
 The point: even in an abnormally heady environment, Hartford Life has proven
 it can rise to the top by providing the service and value our policyholders
 deserve. As you review this report, I hope you'll be pleased with the
 outstanding results produced by our investment managers. And as we move into
 the years ahead, we pledge to stay focused on exceeding the norm in every way
 we can -- because that's the best way we know of to thank you for your
 business.

HARTFORD
  CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGER

                                    Q.  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
                                    
                                    The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund 
                                    outperformed its Lipper peer group for 
                                    the year ended 12/31/97.  The Capital 
                                    Appreciation Fund returned 22.3% versus 
                                    21.5% for the Lipper Capital 
                                    Appreciation VA-underlying fund average.

SAUL J. PANNELL, CFA                Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
Senior Vice President and Partner
Wellington Management Company, LLP  Much of the Portfolio's success during 
                                    the year can be attributed to stock 
                                    selection.  With help from our 
                                    proprietary research analysts and 
                                    diligent company-specific research, we 
                                    were able to identify companies across 
                                    all sectors and market capitalizations 
                                    that significantly outperformed the 
                                    market, such as PHILLIPS ELECTRONICS, a 
                                    Dutch electronics conglomerate, 
                                    MULTICARE COMPANIES, a provider of 
                                    nursing homes, and DIME BANCORP, a 
                                    Savings & Loan.  The Portfolio also 
                                    experienced some volatility late in the 
                                    year as several of our technology 
                                    holdings were negatively impacted due 
                                    to the turmoil in Asia.

                           $52,448
                                    In an environment of lower projected 
                                    interest rates, we have increased our 
                                    finance sector weighting by adding to 
                                    holdings as they came under pressure.  
                                    In light of our long-term positive view 
                                    on the technology sector we are 
                                    maintaining a significant weighting in 
                                    this sector.  We continue to find good 
                                    investment ideas outside the US, and 
                                    foreign investments levels were 
                                    approximately 16% at year end. Our 
                                    overall strategy for the Portfolio 
                                    remains dual faceted.  We maintain an 
                                    emphasis on smaller companies with 
                                    dynamic earnings growth prospects, and 
                                    coupled with an  opportunistic trading 
                                    approach to larger cap stocks where we 
                                    typically see a catalyst for 
                                    outperformance.

LEAD PORTFOLIO MANAGER              Q.  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

                                    For the year ended 12/31/97, the Hartford 
                                    International Opportunities Fund returned
                                    0.3% versus 5.2% for the Lipper
                                    International VA-underlying fund average.

TROND SKRAMSTAD                     Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
Senior Vice President and Partner   
Wellington Management Company, LLP  While the broadly diversified approach of
                                    the Portfolio limited some of the volatility
                                    experienced in the Asian markets, it's our
                                    significant position in Japan negatively
                                    impacted performance.  Our view that the
                                    Japanese economy would experience a slow
                                    recovery in 1997 hurt performance as the
                                    problems within the Japanese  economy
                                    continued.  On a positive note, with 67% of
                                    assets invested in Europe, the Portfolio
                                    benefited from the strong performance in
                                    this region during much of the year.  We

                                    Q.  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1998?

                                    Given the continued weakness in the 
                                    Japanese market and our view that it 
                                    will take considerable time and effort 
                                    to work out its problems, we have 
                                    further reduced the Portfolio's weight 
                                    in Japan and have taken a more 
                                    defensive posture.  While growth in 
                                    Europe in 1998 will likely feel the 
                                    impact of the Asian crisis, we believe 
                                    that low inflation, solid profit growth 
                                    and the impending monetary union will 
                                    support the European equity markets.  
                                    Given this outlook, we believe that 
                                    larger and stronger companies are 
                                    likely to do relatively better and we 
                           $16,130  are currently adding to more defensive, 
                                    larger capitalization stocks.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER                   Q.  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

                                    The Hartford Stock Fund outperformed 
                                    its Lipper peer group during the year 
                                    ended 12/31/97.  The Stock Fund 
                                    provided a total return of 31.4% versus 
                                    25.4% for the Lipper Growth 
                                    VA-underlying fund average, placing the 
                                    Fund in the first quartile of 
                                    performance for funds in the group. 

RAND L. ALEXANDER, CFA              Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
Senior Vice President and Partner   
Wellington Management Company, LLP  The performance of the Portfolio was 
                                    once again helped by our emphasis on 
                                    large, high quality growth companies 
                                    and our overweights in the health care, 
                                    retail, financial, and energy sectors.  
                                    The Portfolio also benefited from 
                                    strong performance by several of our 
                                    top 10 holdings, including GENERAL

                          OVERVIEW
1/1/88 - 12/31/97                   Turning to 1998, it is difficult to 
GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT.     predict a fourth straight year of 
                           $52,448  record returns for the US equity 
                           $48,701  market, but we continue to see reasons 
                                    for optimism.  The economy continues to 
                                    grow and the problems in Asia and the 
                                    Pacific Rim should help keep a lid on 
                                    inflation.  Money continues to flow 
                                    into mutual funds at what we believe to 
                                    be sustainable levels based on 
                                    demographics and corporate America is 
                                    in sound financial shape.  So, unless 
                                    interest rates rise substantially or 
                                    corporate profits fall precipitously 
                                    over the next six months, we see no 
                                    reason to alter our view.  We continue 
                                    to look for companies with great brand 
                                    franchises, large market shares, high 
                                    returns on equity, low debt to total 
                                    capital, and strong managements selling 
                                    at reasonable multiples.  While 
                                    price-to-earnings multiples have 
                                    certainly expanded in the last five 
                                    years, that expansion has been 
                                    supported by falling inflation and  
                                    declining interest rates, a trend we 
                                    expect to continue.

LAURIE A. GABRIEL, CFA              Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
Senior Vice President and Partner
Wellington Management Company, LLP  The Portfolio's performance during the 
                                    year benefited from its overweighting 
                                    in the utility sector which experienced 
                                    a particularly strong year.  This 
                                    sector's performance picked up during 
                                    the last half of the year as the 
                                    turmoil in Asia led investors to seek 
                                    companies with predictable earnings. 
                                    The Portfolio also benefited from its 
                                    underweighting versus the competition 
                                    in technology stocks.  For the same 
                                    reasons that investors shifted assets 
                                    into sectors like utilities, they took 
                                    money out of the technology sector, 
                                    which tends to have more volatile 
                                    earnings.  Because of the Portfolio's 
                                    mandate for a higher-than-average 
                                    dividend yield, it is consistently 
                                    underweighted in this sector which has 
                                    served us well in the recent 
                                    environment.  Lastly, the financial 
                                    sector was the best performing sector 
                                    in the S&P 500 and the Portfolio's 
                                    holdings in this sector, such as 
                                    CITICORP, FIRST BANK SYSTEMS and FANNIE 
                       PERFORMANCE  MAE were significant contributors to 
                          OVERVIEW  performance.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT.

                                    Q.  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1998?

                                    Looking forward, our expectations for 
                           $23,396  the US equity market are somewhat 
                                    subdued.  The deteriorating economic 
                           $22,687  conditions in Asia have caused us to 
                                    lower our growth expectations for the 
                                    US economy.  Sharply reduced exports to 
                                    Asia combined with a rising US Dollar 
                                    exchange rate, intense pricing pressure 
                                    and continued upward pressure on wages 
                                    have caused us to reduce our 1998 
                                    corporate profits outlook.  On a 
                                    positive note, this competitive pricing 
                                    environment will also ensure a very low 
                                    inflation rate for the year.  As a 
                                    result of this outlook we believe the 
                                    Portfolio is well-positioned given its 
                                    emphasis on companies with an 
                                    above-average yield, a below average 
                                    price-to-earnings ratio and risk.

                                    Q.  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

                                    The Hartford Advisers Fund outperformed 
                                    its Lipper peer group for the year 
                                    ending 12/31/97.  The Advisers Fund 
                                    provided a total return of 24.5% versus 
                                    18.9% for the Lipper Flexible 
                                    VA-underlying fund average, placing the 
RAND L. ALEXANDER, CFA              Fund in the first quartile of 
Senior Vice President and Partner   performance and ranking the Fund 7 out 
Wellington Management Company, LLP  of 75 funds in the group.


                                    Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?

                                    The outperformance of the Portfolio 
                                    during the year can be largely 
                                    attributed to our high relative 
                                    weighting in equities.  During 1997, 
                                    the equity portion of the Portfolio 
                                    benefited from our emphasis on large, 
                                    high quality growth companies and our 
                                    overweights in the health care, retail, 
                                    financial, and energy sectors.  The 
                                    bond market provided a favorable 
                                    environment for the fixed income 
                                    portion of the Portfolio.  In light of 
                                    our view that interest rates may 
                                    decline further, we have reduced our 
                                    holdings of mortgage-backed securities 
                                    which can suffer in a falling interest 
                                    rate environment as a result of 
PAUL D. KAPLAN                      refinancing.  Corporate bonds remain 
Senior Vice President and Partner   unattractive, particularly if the

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT.

                           $52,448  Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1998?

                                    The asset allocation at the end of the 
                           $37,294  year was 62% stocks, 37% bonds and 1% 
                                    cash.  We recently reduced the equity 
                                    weighting of the Portfolio from a high 
                                    of nearly 70% due to our belief that 
                                    the relative value of stocks versus 
                                    bonds is narrowing.  While we continue 
                           $23,988  to believe that in the longer-term 
                                    equities deserve to be emphasized, 
                                    bonds have become more attractive in 
                                    today's market environment. We believe 
                                    strongly that inflation remains on a 
                                    downward path.  The world-wide 
                                    competitive environment, the 
                                    strengthening US dollar, falling 
                                    commodity prices, and a general slowing 
                                    in the world's economies make the 
                                    likelihood of an upward move in the 
                                    inflation rate remote.  We continue to 
                                    keep cash balances at a minimum.

                                    Q.  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

                                    The Hartford Bond Fund placed in the 
                                    first quartile of its Lipper peer group 
                                    for the year ended December 31, 1997, 
                                    producing a total return of 11.4% 
                                    versus the 10.0% return of the Lipper 
                                    Corporate Debt "BBB" Rated 
                                    VA-underlying fund average.

ALISON D. GRANGER, CFA            Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
Senior Vice President
The Hartford Investment           - Longer Portfolio Average Maturity and 
Management Company (HIMCO)          Duration Position for most of 1997.  
                                    Since mid-April the portfolio's 
                                    duration ranged between 10% and 20% 
                                    longer than the benchmark index.  
                                    Long-term Treasury yields declined more 
                                    than 100 basis points from then through 
                                    year-end, resulting in a price rally 
                                    which benefited the portfolio.

                                  - A higher average credit quality than 
                                    our peers.  At mid-year we increased 
                                    the Fund's allocation to Treasuries, Aa 
                                    and Aaa-rated corporates, discount 
                                    mortgages and cash to a combined 50% of 
                                    the total portfolio due to our concerns 
                                    that credit risk was inadequately 
                                    priced.  This contributed to the 
                                    Portfolio's outperformance during the 
                                    second half of the year.

                                  - A reallocation of some of the Fund's 
                                    high yield holdings to non-Asian 
                                    Emerging Market debt during the fourth 
                                    quarter.   When Emerging Market fixed 
                                    income debt experienced extreme 
                                    volatility beginning in October and 
                                    November, we viewed this repricing of 
                                    credit risk as a buying opportunity, 
                                    especially relative to the valuation of 
                       PERFORMANCE  domestic high yield debt.  We sold some 
                          OVERVIEW  of the Fund's most fully-valued high 
                                    yield holdings and used the proceeds to

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT.     Market sovereign global debt.  This 
                                    reallocation yielded outperformance 
                                    from mid-November through year-end.


                           $23,988  Q.  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1998?

                           $23,242  High inflation-adjusted Treasury 
                                    yields, the perceived safety of US 
                                    investments amidst recent global 
                                    volatility, and the continually 
                                    improving deficit situation, all 
                                    contribute to our expectation that over 
                                    the course of 1998, Treasury yields 
                                    will continue to decline. As such, the 
                                    duration of the Fund remains longer 
                                    than that of our benchmark index.  We 
                                    continue to hold a higher-than-average 
                                    percentage of the Hartford Bond Fund in 
                                    Treasury securities, as we believe that 
                                    the corporate market, on average, will 
                                    continue to be threatened with 
                                    underperformance throughout 1998 due to 
                                    changing global economic and individual 
                                    company fundamentals, as well as 
                                    increased supply.  Having said this, 
                                    opportunities in the corporate market 
                                    remain in carefully chosen credits 
                                    which we will work closely with our 
                                    analysts to identify.  We believe that 
                                    opportunities remain in certain areas 
                                    of the mortgage market, such as 
                                    discount 15 year passthroughs, and have 
                                    maintained an overweight in these 
                                    securities.  Finally, we view the total 
                                    return potential of Emerging Market 
                                    debt to be attractive, recognizing that 
                                    significant volatility could be 
                                    experienced over the near-term.

                                    Q.  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

                                    The Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund 
                                    provided a total return of 9.0% for the 
                                    year ended December 31, 1997, slightly 
                                    underperforming the Lipper U.S. 
                                    Mortgage VA-underlying fund average 
                                    which returned 9.1%.  



TIMOTHY J. WILHIDE                  Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
Senior Vice President and Partner
Wellington Management Company, LLP  The Lehman Mortgage-Backed Securities 
                                    Index outperformed both the Lehman 
                                    Treasury and Lehman Corporate Indices 
                                    on a cash flow adjusted basis during 
                                    1997.  This outperformance resulted 
                                    from a near perfect fixed income 
                                    environment for mortgages: relatively 
                                    stable interest rates, excellent 
                                    institutional demand for mortgage 
                                    securities and a highly liquid market.  
                                    Because about three quarters of the 
                                    portfolio is positioned similarly to 
                                    the MBS Index it enjoyed the same 
                                    return profile.

                                    During the year the Fund continued to 
                                    seek attractive mortgage related assets 
                                    apart from standard U.S. Agency issued 
                                    single family residential mortgages.  
                                    One ongoing focus of interest was the 
                                    commercial mortgage-backed securities 
                                    market.  This market has matured over 
                                    the last few years from a relatively 
                                    small and highly individualized class 
                                    of assets to a widely accepted, readily 
                                    traded and standardized group of fixed 
                                    income securities.  The portfolio buys 
                                    only highly rated, liquid securities 
                       PERFORMANCE  which our team of CMBS specialists 
                          OVERVIEW  believes offer excellent value.

1/1/88 - 12/31/97
GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT.

                                    Q.  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1998?
                                    
                                    As the new year begins, mortgage 
                                    investors have reason to be more 
                                    concerned about the threat of 
                           $24,340  refinancing to their portfolios.  The 
                                    Asian crisis of 1997's fourth quarter 
                           $22,447  has led to a sharp drop in interest 
                                    rates.  Most of the mortgage securities 
                                    universe is now "in the money", that 
                                    is, most homeowners can realize a 
                                    refinancings savings.  Historically 
                                    such periods have been difficult ones 
                                    for the sector.  Nevertheless, mortgage 
                                    portfolios that carefully monitor 
                                    relative exposure to risk, and make 
                                    timely and appropriate adjustments to 
                                    deal with it, offer the prospect of 
                                    solid relative performance.  Going into 
                                    the new year the portfolio will focus 
                                    on the risk to the portfolio from 
                                    refinancings, seeking securities that 
                                    offer the best relative value should 
                                    interest rates stay in their new, lower 
                                    range.  Examples of securities that 
                                    meet this criteria are discount 
                                    mortgages as well as high quality, 
                                    liquid commercial mortgage-backed 
                                    securities.

 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
 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 the Hartford and Fidelity
    Mutual Funds (the Funds). The other ten sub-accounts, which invest in the
    Putnam VT 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, 1997.
 
    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 contract owners' accounts.

 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    Separate Account Variable Life 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. The
    Account consists of twenty two sub-accounts. These financial statements
    include twelve sub-accounts which invest solely in the Hartford and Fidelity
    Mutual Funds (the Funds). The other ten sub-accounts, which invest in Putnam
    VT 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 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, 1997.
 
    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 contract owners' accounts.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1997

    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. 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, 1997.
 
    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 contract owners'
        accounts.

 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, 1997, 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 One as of December 31, 1997, 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.

 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
 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 the Hartford and Fidelity
    Mutual Funds (the Funds). The other ten sub-accounts, which invest in the
    Putnam VT 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, 1997.
 
    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 contract owners' accounts.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
 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 the Hartford and Fidelity
    Mutual Funds (the Funds). The other ten sub-accounts, which invest in the
    Putnam VT 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, 1997.
 
    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 contract owners' accounts.

</TABLE>
 
 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.
 
                                      M-42
<PAGE>
    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.
       are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest
       receivable, both of which approximate market value. In the remaining
       funds, short-term investments purchased with a maturity of 60 days or
       less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
       Short-term investments purchased 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 that time until maturity,
       the investments are valued at amortized cost.
 
      Equity securities are valued at the last sales price reported on the
      principal securities exchanges on which such securities are traded
      (domestic or foreign), or on the principal over-the-counter market on
      which such securities are traded as of the close of business on the day
      the securities are being valued. If no sale occurred on a particular day,
      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 prevailing exchange rates at the end of each business day.
      Options are valued at the last sales price; if no sale took place 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 their fair values as determined
      by, or under the direction of, the Funds' Board of Directors.
 
    c)  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--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 the
       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 in the accompanying financial statements.
 
      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 other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period,
      resulting from changes in exchange rates.
 
    d)  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--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 repurchases 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.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
    e)  JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT--Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC,
       the Funds may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading
       account managed by The Hartford Investment Management Company or
       Wellington Management Company, LLP (Wellington). 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 balance and yet be exposed to
       the market, thereby providing the liquidity necessary to accommodate
       redemptions while at the same time providing shareholders with 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-dealer, 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.
       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 cash, receivables
       and other assets or other liabilities, as applicable, in each Funds'
       Statement of Net Assets.
 
      At any time prior to the 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 to by the call.
 
    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 net investment income and net realized capital gains 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 DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Orders for the
       Fund's shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions
       of the contract holders. 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 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 next
       determined per-share net asset value.
 
      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., Hartford Small Company Fund,
      Inc., and Hartford MidCap Fund, Inc. is to pay dividends from net
      investment income and distribute realized capital gains, if any, annually.
 
                                      M-44
<PAGE>
      The HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. seeks 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
      its investments using the amortized cost method. Dividends are distributed
      monthly.
 
      Distributions from net investment income and realized capital gains 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 gains and losses, partnerships, and losses deferred due
      to wash 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)  FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS--As of December 31, 1997, Hartford
       International Opportunities Fund, Inc., Hartford Capital Appreciation
       Fund, Inc. and Hartford International Advisers Fund, Inc. had entered
       into forward foreign currency contracts that obligate the Funds to
       repurchase or sell currencies at specified future dates. The Funds enter
       into forward foreign currency contracts to manage currency exchange rate
       risk. The forward foreign currency contracts' costs are are included in
       cash, receivables and other assets or other liabilities, as applicable,
       in the Funds' Statement of Net Assets.
 
      Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in
      excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Net Assets. In
      addition, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the
      potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the
      contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign
      currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
    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.
 
    k)  RESTRICTED SECURITIES--Each Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its
       net assets in illiquid securities, except for the Money Market Fund,
       which may invest up to 10% in such securities. "Illiquid Securities" are
       those that may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of
       business, at approximately the price used to determine a Fund's net asset
       value. Each Fund may purchase certain restricted securities, commonly
       known as Rule 144A Securities, that can be resold to qualified
       institutions and which may be determined to be liquid pursuant to
       policies and guidelines established by the Board of Directors.
 
      At December 31, 1997, the Funds held the following restricted securities
      (excluding 144A issues):
