                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Travelers Fund U for Variable Annuities ("Fund U") is a separate account of
The Travelers Insurance Company ("The Travelers"), an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc., and is available for funding certain
variable annuity contracts issued by The Travelers.  Fund U is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a unit investment trust.
The Travelers interest in the net assets of Fund U was $1,460,895 at December
31, 1995.

Participant purchase payments applied to Fund U are invested in one or more
eligible funds in accordance with the selection made by the contract owner.  As
of December 31, 1995, the eligible funds available under Fund U are:  Managed
Assets Trust; High Yield Bond Trust; Capital Appreciation Fund; U.S. Government
Securities Portfolio, Social Awareness Stock Portfolio and Utilities Portfolio
of The Travelers Series Trust; American Odyssey Core Equity Fund, American
Odyssey Emerging Opportunities Fund, American Odyssey International Equity
Fund, American Odyssey Long-Term Bond Fund, American Odyssey Intermediate-Term
Bond Fund and American Odyssey Short-Term Bond Fund of American Odyssey Funds,
Inc.; Alliance Growth Portfolio, G.T. Global Strategic Income Portfolio, Smith
Barney High Income Portfolio, Smith Barney International Equity Portfolio,
Smith Barney Income and Growth Portfolio, Putnam Diversified Income Portfolio
and MFS Total Return Portfolio of  Smith Barney/Travelers Series Fund Inc. (all
of which are managed by affiliates of The Travelers); Templeton Bond Fund,
Templeton Stock Fund and Templeton Asset Allocation Fund of Templeton Variable
Products Series Fund; High Income Portfolio, Growth Portfolio and Equity-Income
Portfolio of Fidelity's Variable Insurance Products Fund; Asset Manager
Portfolio of Fidelity's Variable Insurance Products Fund II; and Dreyfus Stock
Index Fund. All of the funds are Massachusetts business trusts, except for
American Odyssey Funds, Inc., Dreyfus Stock Index Fund and Smith
Barney/Travelers Series Fund Inc. which are incorporated under Maryland law.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by Fund U in the preparation of its financial statements.

SECURITY VALUATION.  Investments are valued daily at the net asset values per
share of the underlying funds.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.  The operations of Fund U form a part of the total
operations of The Travelers and are not taxed separately.   The Travelers is
taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").  Under existing federal income tax law, no taxes
are payable on the investment income of Fund U.  Fund U is not taxed as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code.

OTHER.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date.

2.  INVESTMENTS

Purchases and sales of investments aggregated $560,019,875 and $119,495,585,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1995.  Realized gains and losses
from investment transactions are reported on an identified-cost basis.  The
cost of investments in eligible funds was $2,087,368,785 at December 31, 1995.
Gross unrealized appreciation for all investments at December 31, 1995 was
$374,402,134.  Gross unrealized depreciation for all investments at December
31, 1995 was $1,010.

3.  CONTRACT CHARGES

Insurance charges are paid to The Travelers for the mortality and expense risks
assumed by The Travelers.  These charges are equivalent to 1.25% of the average
net assets of Fund U on an annual basis.  Additionally, for certain contracts
in the accumulation phase, a semi-annual charge of $15 (prorated for partial
periods) is deducted from participant account balances and paid to The
Travelers to cover administrative charges.

Participants in American Odyssey Funds, Inc. (the "Funds"), may elect to enter
into a separate asset allocation advisory agreement with Copeland Financial
Services, Inc. ("Copeland"), an affiliate of The Travelers.  Under this
arrangement, Copeland provides asset allocation advice and charges participants
an annual fee, plus a one-time set-up fee of $30. The annual fee, which
decreases as a participant's assets in the Funds increase, is equivalent to an
amount of up to 1.50% of the participant's assets in the Funds.  Copeland has
currently agreed to waive 0.25% of this fee. These fees totaled $5,306,354 and
$3,045,220, for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

No sales charge is deducted from participant purchase payments when they are
received.  However, The Travelers assesses a 5% contingent deferred sales
charge if a participant's purchase payment is surrendered within five years of
its payment date.  Contract surrender payments are stated prior to the
deduction of $1,392,135 and $666,955 of contingent deferred sales charges for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

4.  NET ASSETS HELD BY AFFILIATE

Approximately $5,373,000 and $4,925,000 of the net assets of Fund U were held
on behalf of an affiliate of The Travelers as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Transactions with this affiliate during the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994, comprised participant purchase payments of approximately
$1,355,000 and $1,949,000 and contract surrenders of approximately $1,883,000
and $363,000, respectively.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Owners of Variable Annuity Contracts of
     The Travelers Fund U for Variable Annuities:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The
Travelers Fund U for Variable Annuities as of December 31, 1995, and the
related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of 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.  Our
procedures included confirmation of shares owned as of December 31, 1995, by
correspondence with the underlying funds.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Travelers Fund U for
Variable Annuities as of December 31, 1995, 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.
