1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Travelers Fund UL for Variable Life Insurance ("Fund UL") is a separate
account of The Travelers Insurance Company ("The Travelers"), an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (formerly Travelers Group Inc.), and is
available for funding certain variable life insurance contracts issued by The
Travelers. Fund UL 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 UL was $2,498,370 at December 31, 1998.

Participant premium payments applied to Fund UL are invested in one or more
eligible funds in accordance with the selection made by the owner. As of
December 31, 1998, the eligible funds available under Fund UL were: Managed
Assets Trust; High Yield Bond Trust; Capital Appreciation Fund; Money Market
Portfolio (formerly Cash Income Trust); U.S. Government Securities Portfolio,
Utilities Portfolio, Zero Coupon Bond Fund Portfolio Series 2000 and Zero Coupon
Bond Fund Portfolio Series 2005 of The Travelers Series Trust; Alliance Growth
Portfolio, Smith Barney Large Cap Value Portfolio (formerly Smith Barney Income
and Growth Portfolio), Smith Barney High Income Portfolio, MFS Total Return
Portfolio and AIM Capital Appreciation Portfolio of Travelers Series Fund Inc.;
Total Return Portfolio of Greenwich Street Series Fund (all of which are managed
by affiliates of The Travelers); Templeton Bond Fund (Class 1 shares), Templeton
Stock Fund (Class 1 shares) and Templeton Asset Allocation Fund (Class 1 shares)
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 Travelers Series Fund Inc. and Dreyfus Stock Index Fund which
are incorporated under Maryland law. Not all funds may be available in all
states or to all contract owners.

Effective July 12, 1995, the following funds are no longer available to new
contract owners under Fund UL. These funds are: 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 Global High-Yield Bond
Fund (formerly American Odyssey Short-Term Bond Fund) of American Odyssey Funds,
Inc.

Effective December 18, 1998, Zero Coupon Bond Fund Portfolio Series 1998 of The
Travelers Series Trust was fully liquidated.

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

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

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

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The operations of Fund UL 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 UL. Fund UL 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.

2. INVESTMENTS

The aggregate costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments were
$36,173,612 and $20,652,837, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an
identified cost basis. The cost of investments in eligible funds was $74,006,896
at December 31, 1998. Gross unrealized appreciation for all investments at
December 31, 1998 was $14,289,993. Gross unrealized depreciation for all
investments at December 31, 1998 was $795,077.

3.  CONTRACT CHARGES

Insurance charges and administrative charges up to a maximum of 0.80% and 0.10%,
respectively, of the average net assets of Fund UL on an annual basis, are
allowed for mortality and expense risks and administrative expenses assumed by
The Travelers. For Price I contracts (all InVest Contracts, MarketLife Contracts
issued prior to July 12, 1995, and MarketLife Contracts issued on or after July
12, 1995 where state approval for Enhanced MarketLife had not yet been
received), the insurance charges were 0.60% and the administrative charges were
waived by The Travelers for the year ended December 31, 1998. For Price II
contracts (all MarketLife Contracts issued on or after July 12, 1995, where
state approval for Enhanced MarketLife has been received), the insurance charges
are 0.80% for the first fifteen policy years, and 0.45% thereafter. The
administrative charges for these contracts are 0.10% for the first fifteen
policy years and 0% thereafter.

The Travelers receives contingent surrender charges on full or partial contract
surrenders. Such charges are computed by applying various percentages to
premiums and/or stated contract amounts (as described in the prospectus). The
Travelers received $307,722 and $131,429 in satisfaction of such contingent
surrender charges for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Owners of Variable Life Insurance Contracts of The Travelers Fund UL for
Variable Life Insurance:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The
Travelers Fund UL for Variable Life Insurance as of December 31, 1998, 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 audits 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, 1998, 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 UL for
Variable Life Insurance as of December 31, 1998, 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.
