To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Hartford Advisers HLS Fund, Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Hartford Advisers HLS Fund, Inc. (the Fund)
for the year ended December 31, 1999, we considered its
internal control, including control activities for
safeguarding securities, in order to determine our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on
internal control.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs
of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an
audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing
financial statements for external purposes that are fairly
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of
assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error
or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection
of any evaluation of internal control to future periods is
subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the
design and operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not
necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that
might be material weaknesses under standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control
components does not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in
amounts that would be material in relation to the
financial statements being audited may occur and not be
detected within a timely period by employees in the
normal course of performing their assigned functions.
However, we noted no matters involving internal control
and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as
defined above as of December 31, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use
of management, the Board of Directors and the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
