(1) Length of time from premium payment.
(2) The Annual Contract Fee is a single $25 charge on a Contract. It is deducted
proportionally from the investment options in use at the time of the charge.
Pursuant to requirements of the 1940 Act, the Annual Contract Fee has been
reflected in the Examples by a method intended to show the "average" impact
of the Annual Contract Fee on an investment in the Separate Account. The
Annual Contract Fee is deducted only when the accumulated value is $50,000
or less. In the Example, the Annual Contract Fee is approximated as a 0.06%
annual asset charge based on the experience of the Contracts.
(3) In 1995, a portion of the International Advisers Fund management fees were
waived. With this waiver, the 1995 total fund operating expenses ratio was
.650%. Due to asset growth, no management fee waiver is needed in 1996.

SUMMARY
A. CONTRACTS OFFERED
Individual and group tax-deferred Variable Annuity Contracts (see "C.
Taxation of Annuities in General," page 27). Generally, the Contracts are
purchased by completing an application or an order to purchase a Contract and
submitting it, along with the initial Premium Payment, to Hartford Life for its
approval. A Contract Owner may at any time, within 10 days of delivery of a
Contract sold hereunder, return the Contract to Hartford Life at its Home Office
and the value of the Contract (without deduction for any charges normally
assessed thereunder) will be refunded. The Contract Owner bears the investment
risk during the period prior to the Company's receipt of request for
cancellation except for Contract Owners in Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Washington, West Virginia, Utah, and other states where required by
law, who will be refunded the premium (see "How is my Premium Payment credited?"
page 17).
For a description of Contracts issued from October 15, 1986 through
approximately September 1, 1988 (Director II), see Appendix II on page 34.
For a description of Contracts issued from September 1, 1988 through May 1,
1990, (Director III) see Appendix I on page 33.
B. ELIGIBLE PURCHASERS
Any individual, group or trust may purchase the Contracts, including any
trustee or custodian for a retirement plan which qualifies for special federal
tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, including individual retirement
annuities. (See "Federal Tax Considerations" commencing on page 27 and Appendix
II commencing on page 34.)
C. MINIMUM PREMIUM PAYMENTS
The minimum initial Premium Payment is $1,000. Thereafter, the minimum
payment is $500. Certain plans or programs may make smaller periodic premium
payments. (See "What size Premium Payments must I make?" page 18.)
D. UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS FOR CONTRACTS
Shares of Hartford Advisers Fund, Inc., Hartford Bond Fund, Inc., Hartford
Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc., Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Inc.,
Hartford Index Fund, Inc., Hartford International Advisers Fund, Inc., Hartford
International Opportunities Fund, Inc., Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc.,
Hartford Stock Fund, Inc., HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. and such other funds as
shall be offered from time to time, and the Fixed Account, or a combination of
the Funds and the Fixed Account. Qualified Contracts issued prior to May 1, 1987
may also have shares of Hartford U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Inc.
E. CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACTS
1. SALES EXPENSES
There is no deduction for sales expenses from Premium Payments when made.
However, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed against Contract
Values when they are surrendered. (See "Charges under the Contracts" commencing
on page 23.)
The length of time from receipt of a Premium Payment to the time of
surrender determines the contingent deferred sales charge. For this purpose,
Premium Payments will be deemed to be surrendered in the order in
11
<PAGE>
which they are received and all surrenders will be first from Premium Payments
and then from other Contract Values. The charge is a percentage of the amount
withdrawn (not to exceed the aggregate amount of the Premium Payments made) and
equals:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
LENGTH OF TIME
CHARGE FROM PREMIUM PAYMENT
------ --------------------
(NUMBER OF YEARS)
<C> <S>
7% 1
6% 2
5% 3
4% 4
3% 5
2% 6
1% 7
0% 8 or more
</TABLE>
No contingent deferred sales charge will be assessed in the event of death
of the Annuitant or Contract Owner, or upon the exercise of the withdrawal
privilege or if Contract Values are applied to an Annuity option provided for
under the Contract (except that a surrender out of an Annuity Option Four will
be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge where applicable). (See "Is
there ever a time when the sales charges do not apply?" commencing on page 23.)
2. WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE
Withdrawals of up to 10% per Contract Year, on a noncumulative basis, of the
Premium Payments made to a Contract may be made without the imposition of the
contingent deferred sales charge. (See "Is there ever a time when the sales
charges do not apply?" commencing on page 23.) Certain plans or programs may
have different withdrawal privileges.
3. ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE
The Contracts provide for an administrative charge in the amount of $25.00
to be deducted from Contract Values each Contract Year. Contracts with a
Contract Value of $50,000 or more at time of Contract Anniversary will not be
assessed this fee. (See "Are there any administrative charges?" commencing on
page 24.)
4. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISKS
For assuming the mortality and expense risks under the Contracts, Hartford
Life will make a 1.25% per annum charge against all Contract Values held in the
Separate Account, except the Fixed Account. (See "What is the mortality and
expense risk charge?" commencing on page 24.)
5. PREMIUM TAXES
A deduction will be made for Premium Taxes for Contracts sold in certain
states. (See "How much are the deductions for Premium Taxes?" commencing on page
25.)
6. CHARGES BY THE FUNDS
The Funds are subject to certain fees, charges and expenses. (See the
Prospectus for the Funds attached hereto.)
F. LIQUIDITY
Subject to any applicable charges, the Contracts may be surrendered, or
portions of the value of such Contracts may be withdrawn, at any time prior to
the Annuity Commencement Date. However, if less than $500 remains in a Contract
as a result of a withdrawal, Hartford Life may terminate the Contract in its
entirety. (See "How can a Contract be redeemed or surrendered?" commencing on
page 19.)
G. MINIMUM DEATH BENEFITS
A Minimum Death Benefit is provided in the event of death of the Annuitant
or Contract Owner prior to age 85 and before annuity payments have commenced.
(See "What would my Beneficiary receive as a death benefit?" commencing on page
19.)
12
<PAGE>
H. ANNUITY OPTIONS
There are five available Annuity options under the Contract which are
described on pages 21 and 22. The Annuity Commencement Date may not be deferred
beyond the Annuitant's 90th birthday, except in certain states where the
Annuitant's Commencement Date may not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 85th
birthday. If a Contract Owner does not elect otherwise, the Contract Value, less
applicable Premium Taxes, will be applied on the Annuity Commencement Date under
the second option to provide a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain.
(See "What Annuity Commencement Date and Form of Annuity may I elect?"
commencing on page .)
I. VOTING RIGHTS OF CONTRACT OWNERS
Contract Owners will have the right to vote on matters affecting the
underlying Fund to the extent that proxies are solicited by such Fund. If a
Contract Owner does not vote, Hartford Life shall vote such interest in the same
proportion as shares of the Fund for which instructions have been received by
Hartford Life. (See "What are my voting rights?" commencing on page 31.)
PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION
The Separate Account may advertise certain performance related information
concerning its Sub-Accounts. Performance information about a Sub-Account is
based on the Sub-Account's past performance only and is no indication of future
performance.
The Advisers Fund, Bond Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, Dividend and Growth
Fund, Index Fund, International Advisers Fund, International Opportunities Fund,
Money Market Fund, Mortgage Securities Fund, Stock Fund, and U.S. Government
Money Market Fund Sub-Accounts may include total return in advertisements or
other sales material.
When a Sub-Account advertises its standardized total return, it will usually
be calculated for one year, five years, and ten years or some other relevant
periods if the Sub-Account has not been in existence for at least ten years.
Total return is measured by comparing the value of an investment in the
Sub-Account at the beginning of the relevant period to the value of the
investment at the end of the period (assuming the deduction of any contingent
deferred sales charge which would be payable if the investment were redeemed at
the end of the period).
In addition to the standardized total return, the Sub-Account may advertise
a non-standardized total return. This figure will usually be calculated for one
year, five years, and ten years or other periods. Non-standardized total return
is measured in the same manner as the standardized total return described above,
except that the contingent deferred sales charge and the Annual Maintenance Fee
are not deducted. Therefore, non-standardized total return for a Sub-Account is
higher than standardized total return for a Sub-Account.
The Bond Fund and Mortgage Securities Fund Sub-Accounts may advertise yield
in addition to total return. The yield will be computed in the following manner:
The net investment income per unit earned during a recent one month period is
divided by the unit value on the last day of the period. This figure reflects
the recurring charges at the Separate Account level including the annual
maintenance fee.
The Money Market Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Sub-Accounts may
advertise yield and effective yield. The yield of a Sub-Account is based upon
the income earned by the Sub-Account over a seven-day period and then
annualized, i.e. the income earned in the period is assumed to be earned every
seven days over a 52-week period and stated as a percentage of the investment.
Effective yield is calculated similarly but when annualized, the income earned
by the investment is assumed to be reinvested in Sub-Account units and thus
compounded in the course of a 52-week period. Yield and effective yield reflect
the recurring charges at the Separate Account level including the Annual
Maintenance Fee.
The Separate Account may also disclose yield, standard total return, and
non-standard total return for periods prior to the date the Separate Account
commenced operations. For periods prior to the date the Separate Account
commenced operations, performance information for the Sub-Accounts will be
calculated
13
<PAGE>
based on the performance of the underlying Funds and the assumption that the
Sub-Accounts were in existence for the same periods as those of the underlying
Funds, with a level of charges equal to those currently assessed against the
Sub-Accounts.
Hartford Life may provide information on various topics to Contract Owners
and prospective Contract Owners in advertising, sales literature or other
materials. These topics may include the relationship between sectors of the
economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets,
investment strategies and techniques (such as value investing, dollar cost
averaging and asset allocation), the advantages and disadvantages of investing
in tax-advantaged and taxable instruments, customer profiles and hypothetical
purchase scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement planning, and
other investment alternatives, including comparisons between the Contracts and
the characteristics of and market for such alternatives.
INTRODUCTION
This Prospectus has been designed to provide you with the necessary
information to make a decision on purchasing an individual or group tax-deferred
Variable Annuity Contract offered by Hartford Life in the Fixed Account and/or a
series of Separate Account Two. This Prospectus describes only the elements of
the Contracts pertaining to the Separate Account and the Fixed Account except
where reference to the General Account is specifically made. Please read the
Glossary of Special Terms on page 2 and 3 prior to reading this Prospectus to
familiarize yourself with the terms being used.
THE CONTRACT,
SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO, AND
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
WHAT ARE THE CONTRACTS?
The Contract is an individual or group tax-deferred Variable Annuity
Contracts designed for retirement planning purposes. Initially there are no
deductions from your Premium Payments (except for Premium Taxes, if applicable)
so your entire Premium Payment is put to work in the investment Sub-Account(s)
of your choice or the Fixed Account. Currently, there are ten Sub-Accounts, each
investing in a different underlying Fund with its own distinct investment
objectives. More Sub-Accounts may be made available by Hartford Life at a later
time. You pick the Sub-Account(s) with the investment objectives that meet your
needs. You may select one or more Sub-Accounts and/or the Fixed Account and
determine the percentage of your Premium Payment that is put into a Sub-Account
or the Fixed Account. You may also transfer assets among the Sub-Accounts and
the Fixed Account so that your investment program meets your specific needs over
time. There are some limitations on the amounts in each Sub-Account and the
Fixed Account. These limitations are described later in this Prospectus. In
addition, there are certain other limitations on withdrawals and transfers of
amounts in the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, as described in this
Prospectus. See "Charges Under the Contract" for a description of the charges
for redeeming a Contract and other charges made under the Contract.
Generally, the Contract contains the five optional Annuity forms described
later in this Prospectus. Options 2, 4, and 5 are available to Qualified
Contracts only if the guaranteed payment period is less than the life expectancy
of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective. Such life expectancy
shall be computed on the basis of the mortality table prescribed by the IRS, or
if none is prescribed, the mortality table then in use by Hartford Life.
The Contract Owner may select an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity
option which may be on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination thereof. The
Annuity Commencement Date may not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 90th
birthday, except in certain states where the Annuity Commencement Date may not
be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 85th birthday.
The Annuity Commencement Date and/or the Annuity option may be changed from
time to time, but any such change must be made at least 30 days prior to the
date on which Annuity payments are scheduled to
14
<PAGE>
begin. If you do not elect otherwise, payments will begin at the Annuitant's age
90, except in certain states, payments will begin at the Annuitant's age 85,
under Option 2 with 120 monthly payments certain (Option 1 for Texas Contracts).
When an Annuity is effected under a Contract, unless otherwise specified,
Contract Values held in the Sub-Accounts will be applied to provide a Variable
Annuity based on the pro rata amount in the various Sub-Accounts. Fixed Account
Contract Values will be applied to provide a Fixed Account Annuity. Variable
Annuity payments will vary in accordance with the investment performance of the
Sub-Accounts you have selected. You should consider the question of allocation
of Contract Values among Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account and the General
Account of Hartford Life to make certain that Annuity payments are based on the
investment alternative best suited to your needs for retirement. The Contract
allows the Contract Owner to change the Sub-Accounts on which variable payments
are based after payments have commenced once every three (3) months. Any Fixed
Annuity allocation may not be changed.
Hartford Life reserves the right to modify the Contract, but only if such
modification: (i) is necessary to make the Contract or the Separate Account
comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which
Hartford Life is subject; or (ii) is necessary to assure continued qualification
of the Contract under the Code or other federal or state laws relating to
retirement annuities or annuity Contracts; or (iii) is necessary to reflect a
change in the operation of the Separate Account or the Sub-Account(s) or (iv)
provides additional Separate Account options or (v) withdraws Separate Account
options. In the event of any such modification Hartford Life will provide notice
to the Contract Owner or to the payee(s) during the Annuity period. Hartford
Life may also make appropriate endorsement in the Contract to reflect such
modification.
WHO CAN BUY THESE CONTRACTS?
The individual and group Variable Annuity Contracts offered under this
Prospectus may be purchased by any individual, group or trust, including any
trustee or custodian for a retirement plan qualified under Sections 401(a) or
403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; annuity purchase plans adopted by public
school systems and certain tax-exempt organizations according to Section 403(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code; Individual Retirement Annuities adopted according
to Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code; employee pension plans established
for employees by a state, a political subdivision of a state, or an agency or
instrumentality of either a state or a political subdivision of a state, and
certain eligible deferred compensation plans as defined in Section 457 of the
Internal Revenue Code ("Qualified Contracts").
WHAT IS THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND HOW DOES IT OPERATE?
The Separate Account was established on June 2, 1986, in accordance with
authorization by the Board of Directors of Hartford Life. It is the Separate
Account in which Hartford Life sets aside and invests the assets attributable to
variable annuity Contracts, including the Contracts sold under this Prospectus.
Although the Separate Account is an integral part of Hartford Life, it is
registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
This registration does not, however, involve Securities and Exchange Commission
supervision of the management or the investment practices or policies of the
Separate Account or Hartford Life. The Separate Account meets the definition of
"separate account" under federal securities law.
Under Connecticut law, the assets of the Separate Account attributable to
the Contracts offered under this Prospectus are held for the benefit of the
owners of, and the persons entitled to payments under those Contracts. Income,
gains, and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the
Separate Account, are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to or charged
against the Separate Account. Also, the assets in the Separate Account are not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Hartford Life may
conduct. So, Contract Values allocated to the Sub-Accounts will not be affected
by the rate of return of Hartford Life's General Account, nor by the investment
performance of any of Hartford Life's other separate accounts. However, all
obligations arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of
Hartford Life.
Your investment in the Separate Account is allocated to one or more
Sub-Accounts as per your specifications. Each Sub-Account is invested
exclusively in the assets of one underlying Fund. Net Premium Payments and
proceeds of transfers between Sub-Accounts are applied to purchase shares in the
appropriate Fund at net asset value determined as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which the payments were received or the transfer made. All
distributions from the Fund are reinvested at net asset value. The value of your
15
<PAGE>
investment will therefore vary in accordance with the net income and fluctuation
in the individual investments within the underlying Fund portfolio or
portfolios. During the Variable Annuity payout period, both your Annuity
payments and reserve values will vary in accordance with these factors.
Hartford Life does not guarantee the investment results of the Sub-Accounts
or any of the underlying investments. There is no assurance that the value of a
Contract during the years prior to retirement or the aggregate amount of the
Variable Annuity payments will equal the total of Premium Payments made under
the Contract. Since each underlying Fund has different investment objectives,
each is subject to different risks. These risks are more fully described in the
accompanying Fund Prospectus.
Hartford Life reserves the right, subject to compliance with the law, to
substitute the shares of any other registered investment company for the shares
of any Fund held by the Separate Account. Substitution may occur only if shares
of the Fund(s) become unavailable or if there are changes in applicable law or
interpretations of law. Current law requires notification to you of any such
substitution and approval of the Commission.
The Separate Account may be subject to liabilities arising from a Series of
the Separate Account whose assets are attributable to other variable annuity
Contracts or variable life insurance policies offered by the Separate Account
which are not described in this Prospectus.
WHAT IS THE FIXED ACCOUNT AND HOW DOES IT OPERATE?
THAT PORTION OF THE CONTRACT RELATING TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 ("1933 ACT") AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT
REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
("1940 ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED ACCOUNT NOR ANY INTERESTS THEREIN
ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF THE 1933 ACT OR THE 1940 ACT,
AND THE DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE
STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURE ABOUT
THE FIXED ACCOUNT MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF
THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS REGARDING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF
DISCLOSURE.
Premium Payments and Contract Values allocated to the Fixed Account become a
part of the general assets of Hartford Life. Hartford Life invests the assets of
the General Account in accordance with applicable law governing the investments
of Insurance Company General Accounts.
Currently, Hartford Life guarantees that it will credit interest at a rate
of not less than 3% per year, compounded annually, to amounts allocated to the
Fixed Account under the Contracts. However, Hartford Life reserves the right to
change the rate according to state insurance law. Hartford Life may credit
interest at a rate in excess of 3% per year. There is no specific formula for
the determination of excess interest credits. Some of the factors that the
Company may consider in determining whether to credit excess interest to amounts
allocated to the Fixed Account and the amount thereof, are general economic
trends, rates of return currently available and anticipated on the Company's
investments, regulatory and tax requirements and competitive factors. ANY
INTEREST CREDITED TO AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IN EXCESS OF 3% PER
YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE COMPANY. THE OWNER ASSUMES
THE RISK THAT INTEREST CREDITED TO FIXED ACCOUNT ALLOCATIONS MAY NOT EXCEED THE
MINIMUM GUARANTEE OF 3% FOR ANY GIVEN YEAR.
MAY I TRANSFER ASSETS BETWEEN SUB-ACCOUNTS?
You may transfer the values of your Sub-Account allocations from one or more
Sub-Accounts to another free of charge. However, Hartford Life reserves the
right to limit the number of transfers to twelve (12) per Contract Year, with no
two (2) transfers occurring on consecutive Valuation Days. Transfers by
telephone may be made by calling (800) 862-6668. Telephone transfers may not be
permitted by some states for their residents who purchase variable annuities.
Hartford Life may permit the Contract Owner to preauthorize transfers among
Sub-Accounts and between Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account under certain
circumstances. The policy of Hartford Life and its agents and affiliates is that
they will not be responsible for losses resulting from acting upon telephone
requests reasonably believed to be genuine. Hartford Life will employ reasonable
procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine;
otherwise, Hartford Life may be liable for any losses
16
<PAGE>
due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. The procedures Hartford Life
follows for transaction initiated by telephone include requirements that callers
on behalf of a Contract Owner identify themselves and the Contract Owner by name
and social security number. All transfer instructions by telephone are tape
recorded.
Subject to the exceptions set forth in the following paragraph, the right to
reallocate Contract Values between the Sub-Accounts is subject to modification
if Hartford Life determines, in its sole opinion, that the exercise of that
right by one or more Contract Owners is, or would be, to the disadvantage of
other Contract Owners. Any modification could be applied to transfers to or from
some or all of the Sub-Accounts and could include, but not be limited to, the
requirement of a minimum time period between each transfer, not accepting
transfer requests of an agent acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more
than one Contract Owner, or limiting the dollar amount that may be transferred
between the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account by a Contract Owner at any one
time. Such restrictions may be applied in any manner reasonably designed to
prevent any use of the transfer right which is considered by Hartford Life to be
to the disadvantage of other Contract Owners.
For Contracts issued in the State of New York, the reservation of rights set
forth in the preceding paragraph is limited to (i) requiring up to a maximum of
10 Valuation Days between each transfer: (ii) limiting the amount to be
transferred on any one Valuation Day to no more than $2 million; and (iii) upon
30 days prior written notice, to only accepting transfer instructions from the
Contract owner and not from the Contract owner's representative, agent or person
acting under a power of attorney for the Contract Owner.
Currently, and with respect to Contracts issued in all states, the only
restriction in effect is that Hartford Life will not accept instructions from
agents acting under a power of attorney of multiple Contract Owners whose
accounts aggregate more than $2 million, unless the agent has entered into a
third party transfer services agreement with Hartford Life.
Transfers between the Sub-Accounts may be made both before and after Annuity
payments commence (limited to once a quarter) provided that the minimum
allocation to any Sub-Account may not be less than $500. No minimum balance is
required in any Sub-Account.
MAY I TRANSFER ASSETS BETWEEN THE FIXED ACCOUNT AND THE SUB-ACCOUNTS?
Subject to the restrictions set forth above, transfers from the Fixed
Account into a Sub-Account may be made at any time during the Contract Year. The
maximum amount which may be transferred from the Fixed Account during any
Contract Year is the greater of 30% of the Fixed Account balance as of the last
Contract Anniversary or the greatest amount of any prior transfer from the Fixed
Account. If Hartford Life permits preauthorized transfers from the Fixed Account
to the Sub-Accounts, this restriction is inapplicable. Also, if any interest
rate is renewed at a rate of at least one percentage point less than the
previous rate, the Contract Owner may elect to transfer up to 100% of the funds
receiving the reduced rate within 60 days of notification of the interest rate
decrease. Generally, transfers may not be made from any Sub-Account into the
Fixed Account for the six-month period following any transfer from the Fixed
Account into one or more of the Sub-Accounts. Hartford Life reserves the right
to defer transfers from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date of
request.
OPERATION OF THE CONTRACT
HOW IS MY PREMIUM PAYMENT CREDITED?
The balance of each initial Premium Payment remaining after the deduction of
any applicable Premium Tax is credited to your Contract within two business days
of receipt of a properly completed application or an order to purchase a
Contract and the initial Premium Payment by Hartford Life at its Home Office,
P.O. Box 5085, Hartford, CT 06102-5085. It will be credited to the
Sub-Account(s) and/or the Fixed Account in accordance with your election. If the
application or other information is incomplete when received, the balance of
each initial Premium Payment, after deduction of any applicable Premium Tax,
will be credited to the Sub-Account(s) or the Fixed Account within five business
days of receipt. If the initial Premium Payment is not credited within five
business days, the Premium Payment will be immediately returned unless you have
been informed of the delay and request that the Premium Payment not be returned.
17
<PAGE>
The number of Accumulation Units in each Sub-Account to be credited to a
Contract will be determined by dividing the portion of the Premium Payment being
credited to each Sub-Account by the value of an Accumulation Unit in that
Sub-Account on that date.
Subsequent Premium Payments are priced on the Valuation Day received by
Hartford Life in its Home Office, or other designated administrative offices.
WHAT SIZE PREMIUM PAYMENTS MUST I MAKE?
The minimum initial Premium Payment is $1,000. Thereafter, the minimum
Premium Payment is $500. Certain plans may make smaller periodic payments. Each
Premium Payment may be split among the various Sub-Accounts and/or the Fixed
Account subject to minimum amounts then in effect.
WHAT IF I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE?
If you are not satisfied with your purchase you may surrender the Contract
by returning it within ten days (or longer in some states) after you receive it.
A written request for cancellation must accompany the Contract. In such event,
Hartford Life will, without deduction for any charges normally assessed
thereunder, pay you an amount equal to the sum of (i) the difference between the
Premium Payment and the amounts allocated to the Sub Account(s) and/or the Fixed
Account under the Contract and (ii) the value of the Contract on the date of
surrender attributable to the amounts so allocated. You bear the investment risk
during the period prior to the Company's receipt of request for cancellation.
Hartford Life will refund the premium paid only for individual retirement
annuities (if returned within seven days of receipt) and in those states where
required by law.
MAY I ASSIGN OR TRANSFER MY CONTRACT?
Ownership of a Contract described herein is generally assignable. However,
if the Contracts are issued pursuant to some form of Qualified Plan, it is
possible that the ownership of the Contracts may not be transferred or assigned
depending on the type of qualified retirement plan involved. An assignment of a
Non-Qualified Contract may subject the assignment proceeds to income taxes and
certain penalty taxes. (See "Taxation of Annuities in General -- Non-Tax
Qualified Purchasers" commencing on page 27.)
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY CONTRACT IS WORTH?
The value of the Sub-Account investments under your Contract at any time
prior to the commencement of Annuity payments can be determined by multiplying
the total number of Accumulation Units credited to your Contract in each
Sub-Account by the then current Accumulation Unit values for the applicable
Sub-Account. The value of the Fixed Account under your Contract will be the
amount allocated to the Fixed Account plus interest credited. You will be
advised at least semiannually of the number of Accumulation Units credited to
each Sub-Account, the current Accumulation Unit values, the Fixed Account value,
and the total value of your Contract.
HOW IS THE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE DETERMINED?
The Accumulation Unit value for each Sub-Account will vary to reflect the
investment experience of the applicable Fund and will be determined on each
Valuation Day by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value of the particular
Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Day by a "Net Investment Factor" for that
Sub-Account for the Valuation Period then ended. The "Net Investment Factor" for
each of the Sub-Accounts is equal to the net asset value per share of the
corresponding Fund at the end of the Valuation Period (plus the per share amount
of any dividends or capital gains distributed by that Fund if the ex-dividend
date occurs in the Valuation Period then ended) divided by the net asset value
per share of the corresponding Fund at the beginning of the Valuation Period.
You should refer to the Prospectus for each of the Funds which accompanies this
Prospectus for a description of how the assets of each Fund are valued since
each determination has a direct bearing on the Accumulation Unit value of the
Sub-Account and therefore the value of a Contract. The Accumulation Unit Value
is affected by the performance of the underlying Fund(s), expenses and deduction
of the charges described in this Prospectus.
HOW ARE THE UNDERLYING FUND SHARES VALUED?
The shares of the Fund are valued at net asset value on each Valuation Day.
A complete description of the valuation method used in valuing Fund shares may
be found in the accompanying Prospectus of the Funds.
18
<PAGE>
HOW IS THE VALUE OF THE FIXED ACCOUNT DETERMINED?
Hartford Life will determine the value of the Fixed Account by crediting
interest to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account. The minimum Fixed Account
interest rate is 3%, compounded annually. Hartford Life may credit a lower
minimum interest rate according to state law. Hartford Life also may credit
interest at rates greater than the minimum Fixed Account interest rate.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
WHAT WOULD MY BENEFICIARY RECEIVE AS A DEATH BENEFIT?
The Contracts provide that in the event the Annuitant dies before the
selected Annuity Commencement Date, the Contingent Annuitant will become the
Annuitant. If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date and either
(a) there is no designated Contingent Annuitant, (b) the Contingent Annuitant
predeceases the Annuitant, or (c) if any Contract Owner dies before the Annuity
Commencement Date, the Beneficiary as determined under the Contract Control
Provisions, will receive the Minimum Death Benefit as determined on the date of
receipt of due proof of death by Hartford Life in its Home Office. With regard
to Joint Contract Owners, at the first death of a joint Contract Owner prior to
the Annuity Commencement Date, the Beneficiary will be the surviving Contract
Owner notwithstanding that the beneficiary designation may be different.
However, if upon death prior to the Annuity Commencement Date of the Annuitant
or Contract Owner, as applicable, had not attained his 85th birthday, the
Beneficiary will receive the greatest of (a) the Contract Value determined as of
the day written proof of death of such person is received by Hartford Life, or
(b) 100% of the total Premium Payments made to such Contract, reduced by any
prior surrenders, or (c) the Contract Value on the Specified Contract
Anniversary immediately preceding the date of death, increased by the dollar
amount of any Premium Payments made and reduced by the dollar amount of any
partial terminations since the immediately preceding Specified Contract
Anniversary in all states except North Carolina where the Beneficiary will
received the greater of the Contract Value for the premium payments as set forth
in (a) and (b) above.
If the deceased, the Annuitant or Contract Owner, as applicable, had
attained age 85, then the Death Benefit will equal the Contract Value.
Death Benefit proceeds will remain invested in the Separate Account in
accordance with the allocation instructions given by the Certificate Owner until
the proceeds are paid or Hartford Life receives new instructions from the
Beneficiary. The death benefit may be taken in one sum, payable within 7 days
after the date Due Proof of Death is received, or under any of the settlement
options then being offered by the Company provided, however, that: (a) in the
event of the death of any Contract Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement Date,
the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within 5 years after the
death of the Contract Owner and (b) in the event of the death of any Contract
Owner or Annuitant which occurs on or after the Annuity Commencement Date, any
remaining interest in the Contract will be paid at least as rapidly as under the
method of distribution in effect at the time of death, or, if the benefit is
payable over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the
Beneficiary or over the life of the Beneficiary, such distribution must commence
within one year of the date of death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of the Contract Owner's death where the sole Beneficiary is the spouse of
the Contract Owner and the Annuitant or Contingent Annuitant is living, such
spouse may elect, in lieu of receiving the death benefit, to be treated as the
Contract Owner. The proceeds due on the death may be applied to provide variable
payments, fixed payments, or a combination of variable and fixed payments.
If the Contract is owned by a corporation or other non-individual, the Death
Benefit payable upon the death of the Annuitant prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date will be payable only as one sum or under the same settlement
options and in the same manner as if an individual Contract Owner died on the
date of the Annuitant's death.
HOW CAN A CONTRACT BE REDEEMED OR SURRENDERED?
At any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, you have the right,
subject to any IRS provisions applicable thereto, to surrender the value of the
Contract in whole or in part. Under any of the Annuity options
19
<PAGE>
excluding Options 4 and 5, no surrenders are permitted after Annuity payments
commence. Only full surrenders are allowed out of Option 4 and any such
surrender will be subject to contingent deferred sales charges, if applicable.
Full or partial withdrawals may be made from Option 5 at any time and contingent
deferred sales charges will not be applied.
FULL SURRENDERS
At any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date (and after the Annuity
Commencement Date with respect to values applied to Option 4), the Contract
Owner has the right to terminate the Contract. In such event, the Termination
Value of the Contract may be taken in the form of a lump sum cash settlement.
The Termination Value of the Contract is equal to the Contract Value less
any applicable Premium Taxes, the Annual Maintenance Fee if applicable and any
applicable contingent deferred sales charges. The Termination Value may be more
or less than the amount of the Premium Payments made to a Contract.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS
The Contract Owner may make a partial surrender of Contract Values at any
time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date so long as the amount surrendered is
at least equal to the minimum amount rules then in effect. Additionally, if the
remaining Contract Value following a surrender is less than $500, Hartford Life
may terminate the Contract and pay the Termination Value. For Contracts issued
in Texas, there is an additional requirement that the Contract will not be
terminated when the remaining Contract Value after a surrender is less than $500
unless there were no Premium Payments made during the previous two Contract
Years.
Each Contract Year, on a non-cumulative basis, partial surrenders of
Contract Values of up to 10% of the aggregate Premium Payments made to the
Contract may be made without being subject to the contingent deferred sales
charge. Certain plans or programs may have different withdrawal privileges.
Hartford Life may permit the Contract Owner to preauthorize partial surrenders
subject to certain limitations then in effect.
THERE ARE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON SECTION 403(B) TAX-SHELTERED ANNUITIES. AS
OF DECEMBER 31, 1988, ALL SECTION 403(B) ANNUITIES HAVE LIMITS ON FULL AND
PARTIAL SURRENDERS. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CONTRACT MADE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1988
AND ANY INCREASES IN CASH VALUE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1988 MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED
UNLESS THE CONTRACT OWNER/EMPLOYEE HAS A) ATTAINED AGE 59 1/2, B) TERMINATED
EMPLOYMENT, C) DIED, D) BECOME DISABLED OR E) EXPERIENCED FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.
DISTRIBUTIONS DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIP OR SEPARATION FROM SERVICE MAY STILL
BE SUBJECT TO A PENALTY TAX OF 10%.
HARTFORD LIFE WILL NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN DETERMINING WHETHER A
WITHDRAWAL IS PERMISSIBLE, WITH OR WITHOUT TAX PENALTY, IN ANY PARTICULAR
SITUATION; OR IN MONITORING WITHDRAWAL REQUESTS REGARDING PRE OR POST JANUARY 1,
1989 ACCOUNT VALUES.
ANY SUCH FULL OR PARTIAL SURRENDER DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY AFFECT THE CONTINUING
TAX QUALIFIED STATUS OF SOME CONTRACTS OR PLANS AND MAY RESULT IN ADVERSE TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO THE CONTRACT OWNER. THE CONTRACT OWNER, THEREFORE, SHOULD
CONSULT WITH HIS TAX ADVISER BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY SUCH SURRENDER. (SEE
"FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS" COMMENCING ON PAGE 27.)
Payment on any request for a full or partial surrender from the Sub-Accounts
will be made as soon as possible and in any event no later than seven days after
the written request is received by Hartford Life at its Home Office, Attn:
Individual Annuity Operations, P.O. Box 5085, Hartford, CT 06102-5085. Hartford
Life may defer payment of any amounts from the Fixed Account for up to six
months from the date of the request for surrender. If Hartford Life defers
payment for more than 30 days, Hartford Life will pay interest of at least 3%
per annum on the amount deferred. In requesting a partial withdrawal you should
specify the Sub-Account(s) and/or the Fixed Account from which the partial
withdrawal is to be taken. Otherwise, such withdrawal and any applicable
contingent deferred sales charges will be effected on a pro rata basis according
to the value in the Fixed Account and each Sub-Account under a Contract. Within
this context, the contingent deferred sales charges are taken from the Premium
Payments in the order in which they were received: from the earliest Premium
Payments to the latest Premium Payments (see "How are the sales charges under
these Contracts made?" page 23).
20
<PAGE>
CAN PAYMENT OF A REDEMPTION, SURRENDER OR DEATH BENEFIT EVER BE POSTPONED BEYOND
THE SEVEN DAY PERIOD?
Yes. There may be postponement whenever (a) the New York Stock Exchange is
closed, except for holidays or weekends, or trading on the New York Stock
Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission;
(b) the Securities and Exchange Commission permits postponement and so orders;
or (c) the Securities and Exchange Commission determines that an emergency
exists making valuation of the amounts or disposal of securities not reasonably
practicable.
MAY I SURRENDER ONCE ANNUITY PAYMENTS HAVE STARTED?
No. Surrenders are not permitted after Annuity payments commence EXCEPT that
a full surrender is allowed when payments for a designated period (Option 4 or
5) are selected as the Annuity option.
WHAT ARE MY ANNUITY BENEFITS?
You select an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity option which may be
on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination thereof. The Annuity Commencement
Date will not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 90th birthday except for
certain states where deferral past age 85 is not permitted. The Annuity
Commencement Date and/or the Annuity option may be changed from time to time,
but any change must be made at least 30 days prior to the date on which Annuity
payments are scheduled to begin. The Contract allows the Contract Owner to
change the Sub-Accounts on which variable payments are based after payments have
commenced once every three (3) months. Any Fixed Annuity allocation may not be
changed.
ANNUITY OPTIONS -- The Contract contains the five optional Annuity forms
described below. Options 2, 4, and 5 are available to Qualified Contracts only
if the guaranteed payment period is less than the life expectancy of the
Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective. Such life expectancy shall
be computed on the basis of the mortality table prescribed by the IRS, or if
none is prescribed, the mortality table then in use by the Hartford Life. With
respect to Non-Qualified Contracts, if you do not elect otherwise, payments in
most states will automatically begin at the Annuitant's age 90 (with the
exception of states that do not allow deferral past age 85) under Option 2 with
120 monthly payments certain. For Qualified Contracts and Contracts issued in
Texas, if you do not elect otherwise, payments will begin automatically at the
Annuitant's age 90 under Option 1 to provide a life Annuity.
Under any of the Annuity options excluding Options 4 and 5, no surrenders
are permitted after Annuity payments commence. Only full surrenders are allowed
out of Option 4 and any such surrender will be subject to contingent deferred
sales charges, if applicable. Full or partial withdrawals may be made from
Option 5 at any time and contingent deferred sales charges will not be applied.
OPTION 1: LIFE ANNUITY -- A life Annuity is an Annuity payable during the
lifetime of the Annuitant and terminating with the last payment preceding the
death of the Annuitant. This option offers the largest payment amount of any of
the life Annuity options since there is no guarantee of a minimum number of
payments nor a provision for a death benefit payable to a Beneficiary.
It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant to receive only one
Annuity payment if he died prior to the due date of the second Annuity payment,
two if he died before the due date of the third Annuity payment, etc.
OPTION 2: LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120, 180 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN -- This
Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an Annuitant
with the provision that payments will be made for a minimum of 120, 180 or 240
months, as elected. If, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have been made
for less than the minimum elected number of months, then the present value as of
the date of the Annuitant's death, of any remaining guaranteed payments will be
paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated unless other
provisions have been made and approved by Hartford Life.
OPTION 3: JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY -- An Annuity payable monthly
during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated second person, and
thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the survivor, ceasing with the last
payment prior to the death of the survivor. Based on the options currently
offered by Hartford Life, the Annuitant may elect that the payment to the
survivor be less than the payment made during the joint lifetime of the
Annuitant and a designated second person.
21
<PAGE>
It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant and designated
second person to receive only one payment in the event of the common or
simultaneous death of the parties prior to the due date for the second payment
and so on.
OPTION 4: PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD -- An amount payable monthly for
the number of years selected which may be from 5 to 30 years. Under this option,
you may, at any time, surrender the Contract and receive, within seven days, the
Termination Value of the Contract as determined by Hartford Life.
In the event of the Annuitant's death prior to the end of the designated
period, the present value as of the date of the Annuitant's death, of any
remaining guaranteed payments will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries designated unless other provisions have been made and approved by
the Hartford Life.
Option 4 is an option that does not involve life contingencies and thus no
mortality guarantee. Charges made for the mortality undertaking under the
Contracts thus provide no real benefit to a Contract Owner.
OPTION 5: DEATH BENEFIT REMAINING WITH HARTFORD LIFE -- Proceeds from the
Death Benefit may be left with Hartford Life for a period not to exceed five
years from the date of the Contract Owner's death prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date. These proceeds will remain in the Sub-Account(s) to which
they were allocated at the time of death unless the Beneficiary elects to
reallocate them. Full or partial withdrawals may be made at any time. In the
event of withdrawals, the remaining value will equal the Contract Value of the
proceeds left with Hartford Life, minus any withdrawals.
Hartford Life may offer other annuity options from time to time.
HOW ARE ANNUITY PAYMENTS DETERMINED?
The value of the Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account in the Separate Account
for any day is determined by multiplying the value for the preceding day by the
product of (1) the net investment factor (see "How is the Accumulation Unit
value determined?" commencing on page 18) for the day for which the Annuity Unit
value is being calculated, and (2) a factor to neutralize the assumed investment
rate of 4.00% per annum discussed below.
When Annuity payments are to commence, the value of the Contract is
determined as the sum of the value of the Fixed Account no earlier than the
close of business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the date the first
Annuity payment is due plus the product of the value of the Accumulation Unit of
each Sub-Account on that same day, and the number of Accumulation Units credited
to each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to commence.
The Contract contains tables indicating the minimum dollar amount of the
first monthly payment under the optional forms of Annuity for each $1,000 of
value of a Sub-Account under a Contract. The first monthly payment varies
according to the form and type of Annuity selected. The Contract contains
Annuity tables derived from the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table with
ages set back one year and with an assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 4% per
annum. The total first monthly Variable Annuity payment is determined by
multiplying the value (expressed in thousands of dollars) of a Sub-Account (less
any applicable Premium Taxes) by the amount of the first monthly payment per
$1,000 of value obtained from the tables in the Contracts.
Fixed Annuity payments are determined at annuitization by multiplying the
values allocated to the Fixed Account (less applicable Premium Taxes) by a rate
to be determined by Hartford Life which is no less than the rate specified in
the Annuity tables in the Contract. The Annuity payment will remain level for
the duration of the Annuity.
The amount of the first monthly Variable Annuity payment, determined as
described above, is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for the appropriate
Sub-Account no earlier than the close of business on the fifth Valuation Day
preceding the day on which the payment is due in order to determine the number
of Annuity Units represented by the first payment. This number of Annuity Units
remains fixed during the Annuity payment period, and in each subsequent month
the dollar amount of the Variable Annuity payment is determined by multiplying
this fixed number of Annuity Units by the then current Annuity Unit value.
LEVEL VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS WOULD BE PRODUCED IF THE INVESTMENT RATE
REMAINED CONSTANT AND EQUAL TO THE A.I.R. IN FACT, PAYMENTS WILL VARY UP OR DOWN
AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN FROM THE A.I.R.
22
<PAGE>
The Annuity Unit value used in calculating the amount of the Variable
Annuity payments will be based on an Annuity Unit value determined as of the
close of business on a day no earlier than the fifth Valuation Day preceding the
date of the Annuity payment.
CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACTS
HOW ARE THE SALES CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACTS MADE?
There is no deduction for sales expenses from Premium Payments when made.
However, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed against Contract
Values when they are surrendered.
The length of time from receipt of a Premium Payment to the time of
surrender determines the contingent deferred sales charge. For this purpose,
Premium Payments will be deemed to be surrendered in the order in which they are
received and all surrenders will be first from Premium Payments and then from
other Contract Values. The charge is a percentage of the amount withdrawn (not
to exceed the aggregate amount of the Premium Payments made) and equals:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
LENGTH OF TIME
CHARGE FROM PREMIUM PAYMENT
------ --------------------
(NUMBER OF YEARS)
<C> <S>
7% 1
6% 2
5% 3
4% 4
3% 5
2% 6
1% 7
0% 8 or more
</TABLE>
No contingent deferred sales charge will be assessed in the event of death
of the Annuitant or Contract Owner, or if Contract Values are applied to an
Annuity option provided for under the Contract (except that a surrender out of
Option 4 will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if applicable) or
upon the exercise of the withdrawal privilege. (See "Is there ever a time when
the sales charges do not apply?" commencing on page 23.)
In the case of a redemption in which you request a certain dollar amount be
withdrawn, the sales charge is deducted from the amount withdrawn and the
balance is paid to you. Example: You request a total withdrawal of $1,000 and
the applicable sales load is 5%. Your Sub-Account(s) and/or the Fixed Account
will be reduced by $1,000 and you will receive $950 (i.e., the $1,000 total
withdrawal less the 5% sales charge). This is the method applicable on a full
surrender of your Contract. In the case of a partial redemption in which you
request to receive a specified amount, the sales charge will be calculated on
the total amount that must be withdrawn from your Sub-Account(s) and/or the
Fixed Account in order to provide you with the amount requested. Example: You
request to receive $1,000 and the applicable sales charge is 5%. Your Sub-
Account(s) and/or the Fixed Account will be reduced by $1,052.63 (i.e., a total
withdrawal of $1,052.63 which results in a $52.63 sales charge ($1,052.63 x 5%)
and a net amount paid to you of $1,000 as requested).
IS THERE EVER A TIME WHEN THE SALES CHARGES DO NOT APPLY?
Yes. During any Contract Year, on a non-cumulative basis, a Contract Owner
may make a partial surrender of Contract Values of up to 10% of the aggregate
Premium Payments made to the Contract (as determined on the date of the
requested withdrawal) without the application of the contingent deferred sales
charge described above. Certain plans or programs may have different withdrawal
privileges. Any such withdrawal will be deemed to be from Contract Values other
than Premium Payments. From time to time, Hartford Life may permit the Contract
Owner to preauthorize partial surrenders subject to certain limitations then in
effect. Additional surrenders or any surrender of the Contract Values in excess
of such amount in any Contract Year during the period when contingent deferred
sales charges are applicable will be subject to the appropriate charge as set
forth above.
23
<PAGE>
No contingent deferred sales charges otherwise applicable will be assessed
in the event of death of the Annuitant, death of the Contract Owner or if
payments are made under an Annuity option provided for under the Contract,
except that in the case of a surrender out of Annuity Option 4, contingent
deferred sales charges will be assessed, if applicable.
Hartford Life may offer certain employer sponsored savings plans, in its
discretion, reduced fees and charges including, but not limited to, the
contingent deferred sales charges, the mortality and expense risk charge and the
maintenance fee for certain sales under circumstances which may result in
savings of certain costs and expenses. Reductions in these fees and charges will
not be unfairly discriminatory against any Contract owner.
WHAT DO THE SALES CHARGES COVER?
The contingent deferred sales charges are used to cover expenses relating to
the sale and distribution of the Contracts, including commissions paid to any
distribution organization and its sales personnel, the cost of preparing sales
literature and other promotional activities. To the extent that these charges do
not cover such distribution expenses they will be borne by Hartford Life from
its general assets, including surplus. The surplus might include profits
resulting from unused mortality and expense risk charges.
WHAT IS THE MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE?
Although Variable Annuity payments made under the Contracts will vary in
accordance with the investment performance of the underlying Fund shares held in
the Sub-Account(s), the payments will not be affected by (a) Hartford Life's
actual mortality experience among Annuitants before or after the Annuity
Commencement Date or (b) Hartford Life's actual expenses, if greater than the
deductions provided for in the Contracts because of the expense and mortality
undertakings by Hartford Life.
For assuming these risks under the Contracts, Hartford Life will make a
daily charge at the rate of 1.25% per annum against all Contract Values held in
the Sub-Accounts during the life of the Contract (estimated at .90% for
mortality and .35% for expense).
The mortality undertakings provided by Hartford Life under the Contracts,
assuming the selection of one of the forms of life Annuities, is to make monthly
Annuity payments (determined in accordance with the 1983a Individual Annuity
Mortality Table and other provisions contained in the Contract) to Annuitants
regardless of how long an Annuitant may live, and regardless of how long all
Annuitants as a group may live. Hartford Life also assumes the liability for
payment of a minimum death benefit under the Contract.
The mortality undertakings are based on Hartford Life's determination of
expected mortality rates among all Annuitants. If actual experience among
Annuitants during the Annuity payment period deviates from Hartford Life's
actuarial determination of expected mortality rates among Annuitants because, as
a group, their longevity is longer than anticipated, Hartford Life must provide
amounts from its general funds to fulfill its Contract obligations. In that
event, a loss will fall on Hartford Life. Also, in the event of the death of an
Annuitant or Contract Owner before the commencement of Annuity payments,
whichever is earlier, Hartford Life can, in periods of declining value,
experience a loss resulting from the assumption of the mortality risk relative
to the minimum death benefit.
In providing an expense undertaking, Hartford Life assumes the risk that the
contingent deferred sales charges and the Annual Maintenance Fee for maintaining
the Contracts prior to the Annuity Commencement Date may be insufficient to
cover the actual cost of providing such items.
ARE THERE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES?
Each year, on each Contract Anniversary on or before the Annuity
Commencement Date, Hartford Life will deduct an Annual Maintenance Fee, if
applicable, from Contract Values to reimburse it for expenses relating to the
maintenance of the Contract, the Fixed Account, and the Sub-Account(s)
thereunder. If during a Contract Year the Contract is surrendered for its full
value, Hartford Life will deduct the Annual Maintenance Fee at the time of such
surrender. The fee is a flat fee which will be due in the full amount regardless
of the time of the Contract Year that Contract Values are surrendered. The
Annual Maintenance Fee is $25.00 per Contract Year. The deduction will be made
pro rata according to the value in each Sub-Account and the Fixed Account under
a Contract.
24
<PAGE>
HOW MUCH ARE THE DEDUCTIONS FOR PREMIUM TAXES?
A deduction is also made for Premium Tax, if applicable, imposed by a state
or other governmental entity. Certain states impose a Premium Tax, currently
ranging up to 3.5%. Some states assess the tax at the time purchase payments are
made; others assess the tax at the time of annuitization. Hartford Life will pay
Premium Taxes at the time imposed under applicable law. At its sole discretion,
Hartford Life may deduct Premium Taxes at the time Hartford Life pays such taxes
to the applicable taxing authorities, at the time the Contract is surrendered,
or at the time the Contract annuitizes.
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
AND THE FUNDS
WHAT IS HARTFORD LIFE?
Hartford Life Insurance Company ("Hartford Life") was originally
incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts on June 5, 1902. It was
subsequently redomiciled to Connecticut. It is a stock life insurance company
engaged in the business of writing health and life insurance, both individual
and group, in all states of the United States and the District of Columbia. The
offices of Hartford Life are located in Simsbury, Connecticut; however, its
mailing address is P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, CT 06104-2999.
Hartford Life is ultimately 100% owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company,
one of the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United States. On
December 20, 1995, Hartford Fire Insurance Company became an independent,
publicly traded corporation.
Hartford Life is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc., on the
basis of its financial soundness and operating performance. Hartford Life is
rated AA+ rating by both Standard & Poor's and Duff and Phelps on the basis of
its claims paying ability.
These ratings do not apply to the performance of the Separate Account.
However, the Contractual obligations under this variable annuity are the general
corporate obligations of Hartford Life. These ratings do apply to Hartford
Life's ability to meet its insurance obligations under the Contract.
WHAT ARE THE FUNDS?
Hartford Stock Fund, Inc. was organized on March 11, 1976. Hartford Advisers
Fund, Inc., Hartford Bond Fund, Inc., Hartford U.S. Government Money Market
Fund, Inc., and HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. were all organized on December 1,
1982. Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc. was organized on September 20,
1983. Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. was organized on October 5, 1984.
Hartford Index Fund, Inc. was organized on May 16, 1983. Hartford International
Advisers Fund, Inc. was organized on , 1994. Hartford International
Opportunities Fund, Inc. was organized on January 25, 1990. Hartford Dividend
and Growth Fund was organized on October 21, 1993. All of the Funds were
incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland and are collectively
referred to as the "Funds." The Funds may not be available in all states.
The investment objectives of each of the Funds are as follows:
HARTFORD ADVISERS FUND, INC. -- To achieve maximum long term total rate of
return consistent with prudent investment risk by investing in common stock and
other equity securities, bonds and other debt securities, and money market
instruments. The investment adviser will vary the investments of the Fund among
equity and debt securities and money market instruments depending upon its
analysis of market trends. Total rate of return consists of current income,
including dividends, interest and discount accruals and capital appreciation.
HARTFORD BOND FUND, INC. -- To achieve maximum current income consistent
with preservation of capital by investing primarily in fixed-income securities.
HARTFORD CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, INC. (formerly Hartford Aggressive
Growth Fund, Inc.) -- To achieve growth of capital by investing in equity
securities and securities convertible into equity securities selected solely on
the basis of potential for capital appreciation; income, if any, is an
incidental consideration.
25
<PAGE>
HARTFORD DIVIDEND AND GROWTH FUND, INC. -- To seek a high level of current
income consistent with growth of capital and reasonable investment risk by
investing primarily in equity securities and securities convertible into equity
securities.
HARTFORD INDEX FUND, INC. -- To provide investment results which approximate
the price and yield performance of publicly-traded common stocks in the
aggregate, as represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
Index.*
HARTFORD INTERNATIONAL ADVISERS FUND, INC. -- To provide maximum long-term

through capital appreciation, with income as a secondary consideration, by
investing in equity-type securities.
HVA MONEY MARKET FUND, INC. -- To achieve maximum current income consistent
with liquidity and preservation of capital by investing in money market
securities.
The following Fund is available only for qualified Contracts issued prior to
May 1, 1987.
HARTFORD U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND, INC. -- To achieve maximum
current income consistent with preservation of capital by investing in
short-term, marketable obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States
Government or by agencies or instrumentalities of the United States Government
whether or not they are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the federal
government. The Fund was organized on December 1, 1982 under the laws of the
state of Maryland.
ALL FUNDS
All of the Funds are sponsored by Hartford Life. The Funds are available
only to serve as the underlying investment for the variable annuity and variable
life insurance Contracts issued by Hartford Life.
It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts to
invest in the Funds simultaneously. Although Hartford Life and the Funds do not
currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable annuity Contract
Owners or to variable life insurance policyowners, the Funds' Board of Directors
intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between
such Contract Owners and Policyowners and to determine what action, if any,
should be taken in response thereto. If the Board of Directors of the Funds were
to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and
variable annuity separate accounts, the variable annuity Contract Owners would
not bear any expenses attendant to the establishment of such separate funds.
The Hartford Investment Management Company ("HIMCO") serves as investment
manager or adviser to each of the Funds. In addition, Wellington Management
Company ("Wellington Management") has served as sub-investment adviser to
certain of the Funds since August 1984.
HIMCO serves as investment manager for Hartford Advisers, Hartford Capital
Appreciation Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth, Hartford International
Advisers, Hartford International Opportunities and Hartford Stock Funds pursuant
to an Investment Management Agreement between each. Wellington Management serves
as sub-investment adviser to each of these funds pursuant to a Sub-Investment
Advisory Agreement between Wellington Management and HIMCO on behalf of each
fund.
HIMCO serves as the investment adviser to Hartford Bond, Hartford Mortgage
Securities, Hartford U.S. Government Money Market and HVA Money Market Funds
pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between these funds and HIMCO.

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES WHICH AFFECT THESE CONTRACTS?
A. GENERAL
SINCE THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY ACCORDING
TO THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE CONTRACT OWNER INVOLVED AND THE TYPE OF PLAN UNDER
WHICH THE CONTRACT IS PURCHASED, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE MAY BE NEEDED BY A PERSON,
TRUSTEE OR OTHER ENTITY CONTEMPLATING THE PURCHASE OF A CONTRACT DESCRIBED
HEREIN.
It should be understood that any detailed description of the Federal income
tax consequences regarding the purchase of these Contracts cannot be made in
this Prospectus and that special tax rules may be applicable with respect to
certain purchase situations not discussed herein. In addition, no attempt is
made here to consider any applicable state or other tax laws. For detailed
information, a qualified tax adviser should always be consulted. The discussion
here and in Appendix I, commencing on page 33, is based on Hartford Life's
understanding of current Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted.
B. TAXATION OF HARTFORD LIFE AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is taxed as part of Hartford Life which is taxed as a
life insurance company in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"). Accordingly, the Separate Account will not be taxed as a "regulated
investment company" under subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code. Investment
income and any realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account are
reinvested and are taken into account in determining the value of the
Accumulation and Annuity Units (See "Value of Accumulation Units" commencing on
page 9). As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are
automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract.
No taxes are due on interest, dividends and short-term or long-term capital
gains earned by the Separate Account with respect to Qualified or Non-Qualified
Contracts.
C. TAXATION OF ANNUITIES -- GENERAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING PURCHASERS OTHER THAN
QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS
Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code governs the taxation of annuities in
general.
1. NON-NATURAL PERSONS, CORPORATIONS, ETC. Section 72 contains provisions
for Contract Owners which are non-natural persons. Non-natural persons include
corporations, trusts, and partnerships. The annual net increase in the value of
the Contract is currently includable in the gross income of a non-natural person
unless the non-natural person holds the Contract as an agent for a natural
person. There is an exception from current inclusion for certain annuities held
by structured settlement companies, certain annuities held by an employer
27
<PAGE>
with respect to a terminated qualified retirement plan and certain immediate
annuities. A non-natural person which is a tax-exempt entity for Federal tax
purposes will not be subject to income tax as a result of this provision.
If the Contract Owner is not an individual, the primary Annuitant shall be
treated as the Contract Owner for purposes of making distributions which are
required to be made upon the death of the Contract Owner. If there is a change
in the primary Annuitant, such change shall be treated as the death of the
Contract Owner.
2. OTHER CONTRACT OWNERS (NATURAL PERSONS). A Contract Owner is not taxed on
increases in the value of the Contract until an amount is received or deemed
received, e.g., in the form of a lump sum payment (full or partial value of a
Contract) or as Annuity payments under the settlement option elected.
The provisions of Section 72 of the Code concerning distributions are
summarized briefly below. Also summarized are special rules affecting
distributions from Contracts obtained in a tax-free exchange for other annuity
contracts or life insurance contracts which were purchased prior to August 14,
1982.
a. DISTRIBUTIONS PRIOR TO THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE.
i. Total premium payments less amounts received which were not includable
in gross income equal the "investment in the contract" under Section 72
of the Code.
ii. To the extent that the value of the Contract (ignoring any surrender
charges except on a full surrender) exceeds the "investment in the
contract," such excess constitutes the "income on the contract."
iii. Any amount received or deemed received prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date (e.g., upon a partial surrender) is deemed to come
first from any such "income on the contract" and then from "investment
in the contract," and for these purposes such "income on the contract"
shall be computed by reference to any aggregation rule in subparagraph
2.c. below. As a result, any such amount received or deemed received
(1) shall be includable in gross income to the extent that such amount
does not exceed any such "income on the contract," and (2) shall not be
includable in gross income to the extent that such amount does exceed
any such "income on the contract." If at the time that any amount is
received or deemed received there is no "income on the contract" (e.g.,
because the gross value of the Contract does not exceed the "investment
in the contract" and no aggregation rule applies), then such amount
received or deemed received will not be includable in gross income, and
will simply reduce the "investment in the contract."
iv. The receipt of any amount as a loan under the Contract or the assignment
or pledge of any portion of the value of the Contract shall be treated
as an amount received for purposes of this subparagraph a. and the next
subparagraph b.
v. In general, the transfer of the Contract, without full and adequate
consideration, will be treated as an amount received for purposes of
this subparagraph a. and the next subparagraph b. This transfer rule
does not apply, however, to certain transfers of property between
spouses or incident to divorce.
b. DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE. Annuity payments made
periodically after the Annuity Commencement Date are includable in gross income
to the extent the payments exceed the amount determined by the application of
the ratio of the "investment in the contract" to the total amount of the
payments to be made after the Annuity Commencement Date (the "exclusion ratio").
i. When the total of amounts excluded from income by application of the
exclusion ratio is equal to the investment in the contract as of the
Annuity Commencement Date, any additional payments (including
surrenders) will be entirely includable in gross income.
ii. If the annuity payments cease by reason of the death of the Annuitant
and, as of the date of death, the amount of annuity payments excluded
from gross income by the exclusion ratio does not exceed the investment
in the contract as of the Annuity Commencement Date, then the remaining
portion of unrecovered investment shall be allowed as a deduction for
the last taxable year of the Annuitant.
iii. Generally, nonperiodic amounts received or deemed received after the
Annuity Commencement Date are not entitled to any exclusion ratio and
shall be fully includable in gross income. However, upon a full
surrender after such date, only the excess of the amount received
(after any surrender charge) over the remaining "investment in the
contract" shall be includable in gross income (except to the extent
that the aggregation rule referred to in the next subparagraph c. may
apply).
28
<PAGE>
c. AGGREGATION OF TWO OR MORE ANNUITY CONTRACTS. Contracts issued after
October 21, 1988 by the same insurer (or affiliated insurer) to the same
Contract Owner within the same calendar year (other than certain contracts held
in connection with a tax-qualified retirement arrangement) will be treated as
one annuity Contract for the purpose of determining the taxation of
distributions prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. An annuity contract
received in a tax-free exchange for another annuity contract or life insurance
contract may be treated as a new Contract for this purpose. Hartford Life
believes that for any annuity subject to such aggregation, the values under the
Contracts and the investment in the contracts will be added together to
determine the taxation under subparagraph 2.a., above, of amounts received or
deemed received prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. Withdrawals will first
be treated as withdrawals of income until all of the income from all such
Contracts is withdrawn. As of the date of this Prospectus, there are no
regulations interpreting this provision.
d. 10% PENALTY TAX -- APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN WITHDRAWALS AND ANNUITY
PAYMENTS.
i. If any amount is received or deemed received on the Contract (before or
after the Annuity Commencement Date), the Code applies a penalty tax
equal to ten percent of the portion of the amount includable in gross
income, unless an exception applies.
ii. The 10% penalty tax will not apply to the following distributions
(exceptions vary based upon the precise plan involved):
1. Distributions made on or after the date the recipient has attained the
age of 59 1/2.
2. Distributions made on or after the death of the holder or where the
holder is not an individual, the death of the primary annuitant.
3. Distributions attributable to a recipient's becoming disabled.
4. A distribution that is part of a scheduled series of substantially
equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the
recipient (or the joint lives or life expectancies of the recipient and
the recipient's Beneficiary).
5. Distributions of amounts which are allocable to the "investment in the
contract" prior to August 14, 1982 (see next subparagraph e).
e. SPECIAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING CONTRACTS OBTAINED THROUGH A TAX-FREE
EXCHANGE OF OTHER ANNUITY OR LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS PURCHASED PRIOR TO AUGUST
14, 1982. If the Contract was obtained by a tax-free exchange of a life
insurance or annuity Contract purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any
amount received or deemed received prior to the Annuity Commencement Date shall
be deemed to come (1) first from the amount of the "investment in the contract"
prior to August 14, 1982 ("pre- 8/14/82 investment") carried over from the prior
Contract, (2) then from the portion of the "income on the contract" (carried
over to, as well as accumulating in, the successor Contract) that is
attributable to such pre-8/14/82 investment, (3) then from the remaining "income
on the contract" and (4) last from the remaining "investment in the contract."
As a result, to the extent that such amount received or deemed received does not
exceed such pre-8/14/82 investment, such amount is not includable in gross
income. In addition, to the extent that such amount received or deemed received
does not exceed the sum of (a) such pre-8/14/82 investment and (b) the "income
on the contract" attributable thereto, such amount is not subject to the 10%
penalty tax. In all other respects, amounts received or deemed received from
such post-exchange Contracts are generally subject to the rules described in
this subparagraph 3.
f. REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS
i. Death of Contract Owner or Primary Annuitant Subject to the alternative
election or spouse beneficiary provisions in ii or iii below:
1. If any Contract Owner dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date
and before the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed,
the remaining portion of such interest shall be distributed at least as
rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date
of such death;
2. If any Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the
entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within 5 years
after such death; and
3. If the Contract Owner is not an individual, then for purposes of 1. or
2. above, the primary annuitant under the Contract shall be treated as
the Contract Owner, and any change in the primary annuitant
29
<PAGE>
shall be treated as the death of the Contract Owner. The primary
annuitant is the individual, the events in the life of whom are of
primary importance in affecting the timing or amount of the payout
under the Contract.
ii. Alternative Election to Satisfy Distribution Requirements
If any portion of the interest of a Contract Owner described in i.
above is payable to or for the benefit of a designated beneficiary,
such beneficiary may elect to have the portion distributed over a
period that does not extend beyond the life or life expectancy of the
beneficiary. The election and payments must begin within a year of the
death.
iii. Spouse Beneficiary
If any portion of the interest of a Contract Owner is payable to or for
the benefit of his or her spouse, and the Annuitant or Contingent
Annuitant is living, such spouse shall be treated as the Contract Owner
of such portion for purposes of section i. above.
3. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. Section 817 of the Code provides that a
variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for any
period during which the investments made by the separate account or underlying
fund are not adequately diversified in accordance with regulations prescribed by
the Treasury Department. If a Contract is not treated as an annuity contract,
the Contract Owner will be subject to income tax on the annual increases in cash
value.
The Treasury Department has issued diversification regulations which
generally require, among other things, that no more than 55% of the value of the
total assets of the segregated asset account underlying a variable contract is
represented by any one investment, no more than 70% is represented by any two
investments, no more than 80% is represented by any three investments, and no
more than 90% is represented by any four investments. In determining whether the
diversification standards are met, all securities of the same issuer, all
interests in the same real property project, and all interests in the same
commodity are each treated as a single investment. In addition, in the case of
government securities, each government agency or instrumentality shall be
treated as a separate issuer.
A separate account must be in compliance with the diversification standards
on the last day of each calendar quarter or within 30 days after the quarter
ends. If an insurance company inadvertently fails to meet the diversification
requirements, the company may comply within a reasonable period and avoid the
taxation of contract income on an ongoing basis. However, either the company or
the Contract Owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which the
diversification requirements were not met.
Hartford Life monitors the diversification of investments in the separate
accounts and tests for diversification as required by the Code. Hartford Life
intends to administer all contracts subject to the diversification requirements
in a manner that will maintain adequate diversification.
4. OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. In order for a variable
annuity contract to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the segregated asset
accounts supporting the variable contract must be considered to be owned by the
insurance company and not by the variable contract owner. The Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS") has issued several rulings which discuss investor control. The
IRS has ruled that incidents of ownership by the contract owner, such as the
ability to select and control investments in a separate account, will cause the
contract owner to be treated as the owner of the assets for tax purposes.
Further, in the explanation to the temporary Section 817 diversification
regulations, the Treasury Department noted that the temporary regulations "do
not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control of
the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor, rather
than the insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the assets in the
account." The explanation further indicates that "the temporary regulations
provide that in appropriate cases a segregated asset account may include
multiple sub-accounts, but do not specify the extent to which policyholders may
direct their investments to particular sub-accounts without being treated as the
owners of the underlying assets. Guidance on this and other issues will be
provided in regulations or revenue rulings under Section 817(d), relating to the
definition of variable contract." The final regulations issued under Section 817
did not provide guidance regarding investor control, and as of the date of this
prospectus, no other such guidance has been issued. Further, Hartford Life does
not know if or in what form such guidance will be issued. In addition, although
regulations are generally issued with prospective effect, it is possible that
regulations may be issued with retroactive effect. Due to the lack of specific
guidance regarding the issue of investor control, there is necessarily some
uncertainty
30
<PAGE>
regarding whether a Contract Owner could be considered the owner of the assets
for tax purposes. Hartford Life reserves the right to modify the contracts, as
necessary, to prevent Contract Owners from being considered the owners of the
assets in the separate accounts.
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
The portion of a distribution which is taxable income to the recipient will
be subject to Federal income tax withholding, pursuant to Section 3405 of the
Code. The application of this provision is summarized below:
1. NON-PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS. The portion of a non-periodic distribution
which constitutes taxable income will be subject to Federal income tax
withholding unless the recipient elects not to have taxes withheld. If an
election not to have taxes withheld is not provided, 10% of the taxable
distribution will be withheld as Federal income tax. Election forms will be
provided at the time distributions are requested. If the necessary election
forms are not submitted to Hartford Life, Hartford Life will automatically
withhold 10% of the taxable distribution.
2. PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS (DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE OVER A PERIOD GREATER THAN
ONE YEAR). The portion of a periodic distribution which constitutes taxable
income will be subject to Federal income tax withholding as if the recipient
were married claiming three exemptions. A recipient may elect not to have income
taxes withheld or have income taxes withheld at a different rate by providing a
completed election form. Election forms will be provided at the time
distributions are requested.
E. GENERAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS
The Contract may be used for a number of qualified retirement plans. If the
Contract is being purchased with respect to some form of qualified retirement
plan, please refer to Appendix I commencing on page 33 for information relative
to the types of plans for which it may be used and the general explanation of
the tax features of such plans.
F. ANNUITY PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal
income tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or
residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be
subject to U.S. federal income tax and withholding on annuity distributions at a
30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may be
subject to state premium tax, other state and/or municipal taxes, and taxes that
may be imposed by the purchaser's country of citizenship or residence.
Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax advisor
regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity purchase.
MISCELLANEOUS
WHAT ARE MY VOTING RIGHTS?
Hartford Life is the legal owner of all Fund shares held in the Separate
Account. As the owner, Hartford Life has the right to vote at the Funds'
shareholder meetings. However, to the extent required by federal securities laws
or regulations, Hartford Life will:
1. Vote all Fund shares attributable to a Contract according to instructions
received from the Contract Owner, and
2. Vote shares attributable to a Contract for which no voting instructions
are received in the same proportion as shares for which instructions are
received.
If any federal securities laws or regulations, or their present
interpretation change to permit Hartford Life to vote Fund shares in its own
right, Hartford Life may elect to do so.
Hartford Life will notify you of any Fund shareholders' meeting if the
shares held for your account may be voted at such meetings. Hartford Life will
also send proxy materials and a form of instruction by means of which you can
instruct Hartford Life with respect to the voting of the Fund shares held for
your account.
In connection with the voting of Fund shares held by it, Hartford Life will
arrange for the handling and tallying of proxies received from Contract Owners.
Hartford Life as such, shall have no right, except as
31
<PAGE>
hereinafter provided, to vote any Fund shares held by it hereunder which may be
registered in its name or the names of its nominees. Hartford Life will,
however, vote the Fund shares held by it in accordance with the instructions
received from the Contract Owners for whose accounts the Fund shares are held.
If a Contract Owner desires to attend any meeting at which shares held for the
Contract Owner's benefit may be voted, the Contract Owner may request Hartford
Life to furnish a proxy or otherwise arrange for the exercise of voting rights
with respect to the Fund shares held for such Contract Owner's account. Hartford
Life will vote shares for which no instructions have been given and shares which
are not attributable to Contract Owners (i.e. shares owned by Hartford Life) in
the same proportion as it votes shares of that Fund for which it has received
instructions. During the Annuity period under a Contract the number of votes
will decrease as the assets held to fund Annuity benefits decrease.
WILL OTHER CONTRACTS BE PARTICIPATING IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT?
In addition to the Contracts described in this Prospectus, it is
contemplated that other forms of group or individual Variable Annuities may be
sold providing benefits which vary in accordance with the investment experience
of the Separate Account.
HOW ARE THE CONTRACTS SOLD?
Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") serves as Principal
Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the Separate Account. HSD
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life. The principal business address of
HSD is the same as Hartford Life.
The securities will be sold by salespersons of HSD who represent Hartford
Life as insurance and variable annuity agents and who are registered
representatives of Broker-Dealers who have entered into distribution agreements
with HSD.
HSD is registered with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of

basis of the mortality table prescribed by the IRS, or if none is prescribed,
the mortality table then in use by Hartford Life.
Unit Refund Life Annuity (Variable Annuities Only)
This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
Annuitant provided that, at the death of the Annuitant, the Beneficiary will
receive an additional payment equal to the excess, if any, of (a) over (b) where
(a) is the total amount applied under the option at the Annuity Commencement
Date divided by the Annuity Unit value at the Annuity Commencement Date and (b)
is the number of Annuity Units represented by each monthly Annuity payment made
times the number of Annuity payments made.
The amount of the additional payments will be determined by multiplying such
excess by the Annuity Unit value as of the date that proof of death is received
by Hartford Life.
5. ANNUITY PAYMENTS
When Annuity payments are to commence, the value of the Contract is
determined as the product of the value of the Accumulation Unit of each
Sub-Account as of the close of business on the fifth business day preceding the
date the first Annuity payment is due and the number of Accumulation Units
credited to each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to commence.
The amount of the first monthly Annuity payment, determined as described
above, is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for the appropriate
Sub-Account as of the close of business on the fifth business day preceding the
day on which the payment is due in order to determine the number of Annuity
Units represented by the first payment.
34
<PAGE>
The Annuity payments will be made on the first day of each month following
selection. The Annuity Unit value used in calculating the amount of the Annuity
payments will be based on an Annuity Unit value determined as of the close of
business on a day not more than the fifth business day preceding the date of the
Annuity payment.
6. THE FIXED ACCOUNT AND RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS
All reference to the Fixed Account, and certain restrictions as to transfers
do not apply except as to third party designees of the Contract owner.
7. HARTFORD INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND AND HARTFORD DIVIDEND AND GROWTH
FUND

APPENDIX III
INFORMATION REGARDING TAX-QUALIFIED PLANS
The tax rules applicable to tax qualified contract owners, including
restrictions on contributions and distributions, taxation of distributions and
tax penalties, vary according to the type of plan as well as the terms and
conditions of the plan itself. Various tax penalties may apply to contributions
in excess of specified limits, to distributions in excess of specified limits,
distributions which do not satisfy certain requirements and certain other
transactions with respect to qualified plans. Accordingly, this summary provides
only general information about the tax rules associated with use of the Contract
by a qualified plan. Contract owners, plan participants and beneficiaries are
cautioned that the rights and benefits of any person to benefits are controlled
by the terms and conditions of the plan regardless of the terms and conditions
of the Contract. Some qualified plans are subject to distribution and other
requirements which are not incorporated into Hartford Life's administrative
procedures. Owners, participants and beneficiaries are responsible for
determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions comply with
applicable law. Because of the complexity of these rules, owners, participants
and beneficiaries are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors as to
specific tax consequences.
A. QUALIFIED PENSION PLANS
Provisions of the Code permit eligible employers to establish pension or
profit sharing plans (described in Section 401(a) and 401(k), if applicable, and
exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code), and Simplified Employee
Pension Plans (described in Section 408(k)). Such plans are subject to
limitations on the amount that may be contributed, the persons who may be
eligible and the time when distributions must commence. Corporate employers
intending to use these contracts in connection with such plans should seek
competent advice.
B. TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 403(B)
Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of
certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations specified
in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to purchase annuity contracts, and, subject to
certain limitations, exclude such contributions from gross income. Generally,
such contributions may not exceed the lesser of $9,500 or 20% of the employees
"includable compensation" for his most recent full year of employment, subject
to other adjustments. Special provisions may allow some employees to elect a
different overall limitation.
Tax-sheltered annuity programs under Section 403(b) are subject to a
PROHIBITION AGAINST DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE CONTRACT ATTRIBUTABLE TO
CONTRIBUTIONS MADE PURSUANT TO A SALARY REDUCTION AGREEMENT unless such
distribution is made:
(1) after the participating employee attains age 59 1/2;
(2) upon separation from service;
(3) upon death or disability, or
(4) in the case of hardship.
The above restrictions apply to distributions of employee contributions made
after December 31, 1988, earnings on those contributions, and earnings on
amounts attributable to employee contributions held as of December 31, 1988.
They do not apply to distributions of any employer or other after-tax
contributions, employee contributions made on or before December 31, 1988, and
earnings credited to employee contributions before December 31, 1988.
C. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS UNDER SECTION 457
Employees and independent contractors performing services for such employers
may contribute on a before tax basis to the Deferred Compensation Plan of their
employer in accordance with the employer's plan and Section 457 of the Code.
Section 457 places limitations on contributions to Deferred Compensation Plans
maintained by a State ("State" means a State, a political sub-division of a
State, and an agency or instrumentality of a State or political sub-division of
a State) or other tax-exempt organization. Generally, the limitation is
36
<PAGE>
33 1/3% of includable compensation (25% of gross compensation) or $7,500,
whichever is less. The plan may also provide for additional "catch-up" deferrals
during the three taxable years ending before a Participant attains normal
retirement age.
An employee electing to participate in a plan should understand that his
rights and benefits are governed strictly by the terms of the plan, that the
employer is legal owner of any contract issued with respect to the plan and that
deferred amounts will be subject to the claims of the employer's creditors. The
employer as owner of the contract(s) retains all voting and redemption rights
which may accrue to the contract(s) issued with respect to the plan. The
participating employee should look to the terms of his plan for any charges in
regard to participating therein other than those disclosed in this Prospectus.
Distributions from a Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plan are prohibited
unless made after the participating employee attains the age specified in the
plan, separates from service, dies, becomes permanently and totally disabled or
suffers an unforeseeable financial emergency. Present federal tax law does not
allow tax-free transfers or rollovers for amounts accumulated in a Section 457
plan except for transfers to other Section 457 plans in limited cases.
D. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 408
Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to establish individual
retirement programs through the purchase of Individual Retirement Annuities
("IRAs"). IRAs are subject to limitations on the amount that may be contributed,
the contributions that may be deducted from taxable income, the persons who may
be eligible and the time when distributions may commence. Also, distributions
from certain qualified plans may be "rolled-over" on a tax-deferred basis into
an IRA.
E. TAX PENALTIES
Distributions from retirement plans are generally taxed under Section 72 of
the Code. Under these rules, a portion of each distribution may be excludable
from income. The excludable amount is the portion of the distribution which
bears the same ratio as the after-tax contributions bear to the expected return.
1. PREMATURE DISTRIBUTION
Distributions from a qualified plan before the Participant attains age
59 1/2 are generally subject to an additional tax equal to 10% of the taxable
portion of the distribution. The 10% penalty does not apply to distributions
made after the employee's death, on account of disability and distributions in
the form of a life annuity and, except in the case of an IRA, certain
distributions after separation from service at or after age 55 and certain
distributions for eligible medical expenses. A life annuity is defined as a
scheduled series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life or life
expectancy of the Participant (or the joint lives or life expectancies of the
Participant and Beneficiary).
2. MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION TAX
If the amount distributed is less than the minimum required distribution for
the year, the Participant is subject to a 50% tax on the amount that was not
properly distributed.
An individual's interest in a retirement plan must generally be distributed
or begin to be distributed not later than April 1 of the calendar year in which
the individual attains age 70 1/2 ("required beginning date"). The required
beginning date with respect to certain government plans may be further deferred.
The entire interest of the Participant must be distributed beginning no later
than this required beginning date over a period which may not extend beyond a
maximum of the life expectancy of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary.
Each annual distribution must equal or exceed a "minimum distribution amount"
which is determined by dividing the account balance by the applicable life
expectancy. This account balance is generally based upon the account value as of
the close of business on the last day of the previous calendar year. In
addition, minimum distribution incidental benefit rules may require a larger
annual distribution.
If an individual dies before reaching his or her required beginning date,
the individual's entire interest must generally be distributed within five years
of the individuals' death. However, this rule will be deemed satisfied, if
distributions begin before the close of the calendar year following the
individual's death to a designated Beneficiary (or over a period not extending
beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary). If the Beneficiary is the
individual's surviving spouse, distributions may be delayed until the individual
would have attained age 70 1/2.
37
<PAGE>
If an individual dies after reaching his or her required beginning date or
after distributions have commenced, the individual's interest must generally be
distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at
the time of the individual's death.
3. EXCESS DISTRIBUTION TAX
If the aggregate distributions from all IRAs and certain other qualified
plans in a calendar year exceed the greater of (i) $150,000, or (ii) $112,500 as
indexed for inflation ($155,000 as of January 1, 1996), a penalty tax of 15% is
generally imposed on the excess portion of the distribution.
4. WITHHOLDING
Periodic distributions from a qualified plan lasting for a period of 10 or
more years are generally subject to voluntary income tax withholding. The
recipient of periodic distributions may generally elect not to have withholding
apply or to have income taxes withheld at a different rate by providing a
completed election form. Otherwise, the amount withheld on such distributions is
determined at the rate applicable to wages as if the recipient were married
claiming three exemptions.
Nonperiodic distributions from an IRA are subject to income tax withholding
at a flat 10% rate. The recipient may elect not to have withholding apply.
Nonperiodic distributions from other qualified plans are generally subject
to mandatory income tax withholding at the flat rate of 20% unless such
distributions are:
(a) the non-taxable portion of the distribution;
(b) required minimum distributions;
(c) eligible rollover distributions.
Eligible rollover distributions are direct payments to an IRA or to another
qualified employer plan.
Any distribution from plans described in Section 457 of the Code is subject
to regular wage withholding rules.

INTRODUCTION
The individual and group tax-deferred variable annuity contracts described in
the Prospectus are designed to provide Annuity benefits to individuals who have
established or wish to establish retirement programs which may or may not
qualify for special federal income tax treatment. The Annuitant under these
contracts may receive Annuity benefits in accordance with the Annuity option
selected and the retirement program, if any, under which the contracts have been
purchased. Annuity payments under a contract will begin on a particular future
date which may be selected at any time under the contract or automatically when
the Annuitant reaches age 90, except in certain states where deferral past age
85 is not permitted. There are several alternative annuity payment options
available under the contract (see "Optional Annuity Forms," commencing on
page___ ).
The Premium Payments under a contract, less any applicable Premium Taxes, will
be applied to the Separate Account and/or the Fixed Account. Accordingly, the
net Premium Payment under the contract will be applied to purchase interests in
one or more of the Bond Fund, Stock Fund, HVA Money Market Fund, U.S. Government
Money Market Fund (for qualified Contracts issued prior to May 1, 1987),
Advisers Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, Mortgage Securities Fund, Index Fund,
International Opportunities Fund, and Dividend and Growth Fund Sub-Accounts.
Shares of the Funds are purchased by the Separate Account without the imposition
of a sales charge. The value of a contract depends on the value of the shares
of the Fund held by the Separate Account pursuant to that contract. As a
result, the Contract Owner bears the investment risk since market value of the
shares may increase or decrease.
There is no assurance that the value of the Contract Owner's contract at any
time will equal or exceed the Premium Payments made. However, if the
Annuitant or Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the
contracts provide that a death benefit equal to the value of the contract as
of the date due proof of death is received by Hartford Life
Insurance Company ("Hartford Life") shall be payable. This amount is the
greater of (a) the Contract Value on the date of receipt of due proof of
death by Hartford Life, or (b) 100% of the total Premium Payments made to such
contract, reduced by any prior surrenders, or (c) the Contract Value on the
Specified Contract Anniversary immediately preceding the date of death,
increased by the dollar amount of any Premium Payments made and reduced by
the dollar amount of any partial terminations since the immediately preceding
Specified Contract Anniversary. (See "Payments of Benefits" commencing on
page ___ of the Prospectus.)
DESCRIPTION OF HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Hartford Life Insurance Company ("Hartford Life") was originally incorporated
under the laws of Wisconsin on June 5, 1902. It was subsequently redomiciled
to Connecticut. It is a stock life insurance company engaged in the business
of writing health and life insurance, both individual and group
<PAGE>
- 5 -

offices of Hartford Life are located in Simsbury, Connecticut; however, its
mailing address is P.O. Box 5085, Hartford, Connecticut 06102-5085.
Hartford Life is ultimately 100% owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company,
one of the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United States. On
December 20, 1995, Hartford Fire Insurance Company became an independent,
publicly traded corporation.
Hartford Life is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc. on the
basis of its financial soundness and operating performance. Hartford Life is
rated AA+ by both Standard & Poor's and Duff and Phelps on the basis of its
claims paying ability.
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Arthur Andersen LLP, One Financial Plaza Hartford, Connecticut, independent
public accountants, will perform an annual audit of the Separate Account.
The financial statements included in this Statement of Additional Information
have been audited by Arthur Andersen & Co. to the extent and for the periods
indicated in their report and are included herein in reliance upon the report
of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. Reference is made to
said report of Hartford Life Insurance Company (the depositor), which
includes an explanatory paragraph with respect to the adoption of new
accounting standards changing the methods of accounting for debt and equity
securities.
DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS
Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") serves as Principal
Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the Separate Account.
HSD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life. The
principal business address of HSD is the same as Hartford Life.
The securities will be sold by salespersons of HSD who represent Hartford
Life as insurance and Variable Annuity agents and who are registered
representatives of Broker-Dealers who have entered into distribution
agreements with HSD.
HSD is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as a Broker-Dealer and is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
Prior to June 26, 1995, the Principal Underwriter for the Separate Account was
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc., an NASD member Broker-Dealer.
The offering of the Separate Account contracts is continuous.
<PAGE>
- 6 -
SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS
The assets of the Separate Account are held by Hartford Life under a safekeeping
arrangement.
ANNUITY PERIOD
A. Annuity Payments
Variable Annuity payments are determined on the basis of (1) a mortality
table set forth in the contracts and the type of Annuity payment option
selected, and (2) the investment performance of the investment medium
selected. Fixed Account Annuity payments are based on the Annuity tables
contained in the contracts, and will remain level for the duration of the
Annuity.
The amount of the Annuity payments will not be affected by adverse
mortality experience or by an increase in expenses in excess of the expense
deduction for which provision has been made (see "Charges Under the
Contracts," commencing on page of the Prospectus).
For a Variable Annuity the Annuitant will be paid the value of a fixed
number of Annuity Units each month. The value of such units and the
amounts of the monthly Variable Annuity payments will, however, reflect
investment income occurring after retirement, and thus the Variable Annuity
payments will vary with the investment experience of the Fund shares
selected.
B. Electing the Annuity Commencement Date and Form of Annuity
The Contract Owner selects an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity
option which may be on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination thereof.
The Annuity Commencement Date will not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's
90th birthday, except for certain states where the Annuitant must reach age
85.
The Annuity Commencement Date and/or the Annuity option may be changed from
time to time, but any such change must be made at least 30 days prior to
the date on which Annuity payments are scheduled to begin.
The contract contains the five optional Annuity forms described below.
Options 2, 4 and 5 are available with respect to Qualified Contracts only
if the guaranteed payment period is less than the life expectancy of the
Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective. Such life expectancy
shall be computed on the basis of the mortality table prescribed by the
IRS, or if none is prescribed, the mortality table then in use by
Hartford Life.
<PAGE>
- 7 -
With respect to Non-Qualified Contracts, if you do not elect otherwise,
payments will automatically begin at the Annuitant's age 85 under Option 2
with 120 monthly payments certain.
For Qualified Contracts and contracts issued in Texas, if you do not elect
otherwise, payments will begin automatically at the Annuitant's age 85
under Option 1 to provide a life Annuity.
When an Annuity is effected under a contract, unless otherwise specified,
variable values will be applied to provide a Variable Annuity based on
Contract Values as they are held in the various Sub-Accounts under the
contracts. Fixed Account Contract Values will be applied to provide a
Fixed Account Annuity. The Contract Owner should consider the question of
allocation of Contract Values among Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account
and the General Account of Hartford Life to make certain that Annuity
payments are based on the investment alternative best suited to the
Contract Owner's needs for retirement.
If at any time Annuity payments with respect to a Variable or a Fixed
Account Annuity or a combination of the two are or become less than $50.00
per payment, Hartford Life has the right to change the frequency of payment
to such intervals as will result in Annuity payments of at least $50.00.
For New York contracts the minimum payment is $20.00.
There may be other annuity options available offered by Hartford Life from
time to time.
C. Optional Annuity Forms
OPTION 1: Life Annuity
A life Annuity is an Annuity payable during the lifetime of the Annuitant
and terminating with the last monthly payment preceding the death of the
Annuitant. This option offers the maximum level of monthly payments of any
of the life Annuity options since there is no guarantee of a minimum number
of payments nor a provision for a death benefit payable to a Beneficiary.
<PAGE>
- 8 -
It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant to receive only one
Annuity payment if he died prior to the due date of the second Annuity
payment, two if he died before the due date of the third Annuity payment,
etc.
OPTION 2: Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain
This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an
Annuitant with the provision that if, at the death of the Annuitant,
payments have been made for less than 120, 180 or 240 months, as elected,
then the present value as of the date of the Annuitant's death of the
current dollar amount at the date of death, of any remaining guaranteed
monthly payments will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries designated.

For the purpose of this illustration, purchase is assumed to have been made
on the fifth business day preceding the first payment date. In determining
the second and subsequent payments, the Annuity Unit value of the fifth
business day preceding the Annuity due date is used.
OPTION 3: Joint and Last Survivor Annuity
An Annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a
designated second person, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of
the survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the
survivor.
It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant and designated
second person in the event of the common or simultaneous death of the
parties to receive only one payment in the event of death prior to the due
date for the second payment and so on.
OPTION 4: Payments for a Designated Period
<PAGE>
- 9 -
An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be
from 5 to 30 years. Under this option, you may, at any time, surrender the
contract and receive, within seven days, the Termination Value of the
contract.
OPTION 5: Death Benefit Remaining with Hartford Life
Proceeds from the Death Benefit may be left with Hartford Life for a period
not to exceed five years from the date of the Contract Owner's death prior
to the Annuity Commencement Date will remain in the Sub-Account(s) to which
they were allocated at the time of death unless the Beneficiary elects to
reallocate them. Full or partial withdrawals may be made at any time. In
the event of withdrawals, the remaining value will equal the Contract Value
of the proceeds left with Hartford Life, minus any withdrawals. Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges, if applicable, will also be applied to all
withdrawals. For purposes of determining this charge, the original
Contract Date of this Contract will be used.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under any of the Annuity options above, excluding Option 4, no surrenders
are permitted after Annuity payments commence. Only full surrenders are
allowed out of Option 4 and any such surrender will be subject to
contingent deferred charges, if applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the event of the Annuitant's death prior to the end of the designated
period, the present value as of the date of the Annuitant's death, of the
current dollar amount of any remaining guaranteed monthly payments will be
paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated.
Option 4 is an option that does not involve life contingencies and thus no
mortality guarantee. Charges made for the mortality undertaking under the
contracts thus provide no real benefit to a Contract Owner.
D. The Annuity Unit and Valuation
The value of the Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account in the Separate Account
for any day is determined by multiplying the value for the preceding day by
the product of (1) the net investment factor (see page 11 of the
Prospectus) for the day for which the Annuity Unit value is being
calculated, and (2) a factor to neutralize the assumed investment rate of
4.00% per annum discussed in Section E. below.

4. Annuity Unit value, beginning of period. . . . . . .995995
5. Annuity Unit value, end of period (3x4). . . . . . 1.007066
E. Determination of Amount of First Monthly Annuity Payment-Fixed and Variable
When Annuity payments are to commence, the value of the contract is
determined as the sum of the value of the Fixed Account no earlier than the
close of business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the date the first
Annuity payment is due plus the product of the value of the Accumulation
Unit of each Sub-Account on that same day, and the number of Accumulation
Units credited to each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to
commence.
The contract contains tables indicating the minimum dollar amount of the
first monthly payment under the optional forms of Annuity for each $1,000
of value of a Sub-Account under a contract. The first monthly payment
varies according to the form and type of Annuity selected. The contracts
contains Annuity tables derived from the 1983(a) Individual Annuity
Mortality table with ages set back one year with an assumed investment rate
("A.I.R.") of 4% per annum. The total first monthly Variable Annuity
payment is determined by multiplying the value (expressed in thousands of
dollars) of a Sub-Account (less any applicable Premium Taxes) by the amount
of the first monthly payment per $1,000 of value obtained from the tables
in the contracts.
Fixed Account Annuity payments are determined at annuitization by
multiplying the values allocated to the Fixed Account by a rate to be
determined by Hartford Life which is no less than the rate specified in
the Annuity tables in the contract. The Annuity payment will remain level
for the duration of the Annuity.
F. Amount of Second and Subsequent Monthly Variable Annuity Payments
The amount of the first monthly Variable Annuity payment, determined as
described above, is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for the
appropriate Sub-Account no earlier than the close of business on the fifth
Valuation Day preceding the day on which the payment is due in order to
determine the number of Annuity Units represented by the
<PAGE>
- 11 -
first payment. This number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the
Annuity Period, and in each subsequent month the dollar amount of the
Variable Annuity payment is determined by multiplying this fixed number of
Annuity Units by the then current Annuity Unit value.
Level Variable Annuity Payments would be produced if the investment rate
remained constant and equal to the A.I.R. In fact, payments will vary up
or down as the investment rate varies up or down from the A.I.R.
G. Date and Time of Annuity Payments
The Annuity payments will be made on the fifteenth day of each month
following selection. The Annuity Unit value used in calculating the amount
of the Variable Annuity payments will be based on an Annuity Unit value
determined as of the close of business on a day no earlier than the fifth
Valuation Day preceding the date of the Annuity payment.
CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN
YIELD OF THE HVA MONEY MARKET FUND AND U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND
SUB-ACCOUNTS. As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading "Performance
Related Information," the yield of the Money Market Fund and U.S. Government
Money Market Fund Sub-Accounts for a seven day period (the "base period")
will be computed by determining the "net change in value" (calculated as set
forth below) of a hypothetical account having a balance of one share at the
beginning of the period, dividing the net change in account value by the
value of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base
period return, and multiplying the base period return by 365/7 with the
resulting yield figure carried to the nearest hundredth of one percent. Net
changes in value of a hypothetical account will include net investment income
of the account (accrued daily dividends as declared by the underlying funds,
less daily expense charges of the account) for the period, but will not
include realized gains or losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation
on the underlying fund shares.
The Money Market Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Fund Sub-Accounts' yield
and effective yield will vary in response to fluctuations in interest rates and
in the expenses of the two Sub-Accounts.
THE CURRENT YIELD AND EFFECTIVE YIELD REFLECT RECURRING CHARGES ON THE SEPARATE
ACCOUNT LEVEL, INCLUDING THE MAXIMUM ANNUAL POLICY FEE.
Money Market Fund Sub-Account
<PAGE>
- 12 -
The yield and effective yield for the seven day period ending December 31,
1995 is as follows:
($25 annual policy fee)
Yield 4.06%
Effective Yield 4.14%
U.S. Government Money Market Fund Sub-Account
The yield and effective yield for the sub-account for the seven day period
ending December 31, 1995 is as follows:
($25 annual policy fee)
Yield 3.74%
Effective Yield 3.81%
YIELDS OF HARTFORD BOND FUND AND HARTFORD MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND SUB-ACCOUNTS.
As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading "Performance Related
Information," yields of these two Sub-Accounts will be computed by annualizing a
recent month's net investment income, divided by a Fund share's net asset value
on the last trading day of that month. Net changes in the value of a
hypothetical account will assume the change in the underlying mutual fund's "net
asset value per share" for the same period in addition to the daily expense
charge assessed, at the sub-account level for the respective period. The Bond
Fund and Mortgage Securities Fund Sub-Accounts' yields will vary from time to
time depending upon market conditions and, the composition of the underlying
funds' portfolios. Yield should also be considered relative to changes in the
value of the Sub-Accounts' shares and to the relative risks associated with the
investment objectives and policies of the Bond Fund and Hartford Mortgage
Securities Fund.
The yield reflects recurring charges on the Separate Account level, including
the annual policy fee.
BOND FUND SUB-ACCOUNT
Yield calculations of the Sub-Account used for illustration purposes reflect the
interest earned by the Sub-Account, less applicable asset charges assessed
against a Contract Owner's account over the base period. The following is the
method used to determine the yield for the 30 day period ended December 31,
1995.
Example:
6
Current Yield Formula for the Sub-Account 2*[((A-B)/(C*D) + 1) - 1]
Where A = Dividends and interest earned during the period.
B = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements)
<PAGE>
- 13 -
C = The average daily number of units outstanding during
the period that were entitled to receive dividends.
D = The maximum offering price per unit on the last day
of the period.
Yield = 5.87%
MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND SUB-ACCOUNT
Yield calculations of the Sub-Account used for illustration purposes reflect the
interest earned by the Sub-Account, less applicable asset charges assessed
against a Contract Owner's account over the base period. The following is the
method used to determine the yield for the 30 days period ended December 31,
1995.
Example:
6
Current Yield Formula for the Sub-Account 2*[((A-B)/(C*D) + 1) - 1]
Where A = Dividends and interest earned during the period.
B = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
C = The average daily number of units outstanding during the period
that were entitled to receive dividends.
D = The maximum offering price per unit on the last day
of the period.
Yield = 6.51%
At any time in the future, yields and total return may be higher or lower than
past yields and there can be no assurance that any historical results will
continue.
The method of calculating yields described above for these Sub-Accounts differs
from the method used by the Sub-Accounts prior to May 1, 1988. The denominator
of the fraction used to calculate yield was previously the average unit value
for the period calculated. That denominator will hereafter be the unit value of
the Sub-Accounts on the last trading day of the period calculated.
CALCULATION OF TOTAL RETURN. As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading
"Performance Related Information", total return is a measure of the change in
value of an investment in a Sub-Account over the period covered. the formula
for total return used herein includes three steps: (1) calculating the value of
the hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 as of the end of the period by
multiplying the total number of units owned at the end of the period by the unit
value per unit on the last trading day of the period by the unit value per unit
on the last trading day of the period; (2) assuming redemption at the end of the
period and deducting any applicable contingent deferred sales charge and (3)
dividing this account value for the hypothetical investor
<PAGE>
- 14 -
by the initial $1,000 investment and annualizing the result for periods of less
than one year. Total return will be calculated for one year, five years and ten
years or some other relevant periods if a Sub-Account has not been in existence
for at least ten years.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
YIELD AND TOTAL RETURN. Each Sub-Account may from time to time include its
total return in advertisements or in information furnished to present to
prospective shareholders. Each Sub-Account may from time to time include its
yield and total return in advertisements or information furnished to present to
prospective shareholders. Each Sub-Account may from time to time include in
advertisements its total return (and yield in the case of certain Sub-Accounts)
the ranking of those performance figures relative to such figures for groups of
other annuities analyzed by Lipper Analytical Services as having the same
investment objectives.
The total return and yield may also be used to compare the performance of the
Sub-Accounts against certain widely acknowledged outside standards or indices
for stock and bond market performance. The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of
500 Stocks (the "S&P 500") is a market value-weighted and unmanaged index
showing the changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks relative to the
base period 1941-43. The S&P 500 is composed almost entirely of common stocks
of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, although the common stocks
of a few companies listed on the American Stock Exchange or traded
over-the-counter are included. The 500 companies represented include 400
industrial, 60 transportation and 40 financial services concerns. The S&P 500
represents about 80% of the market value of all issues traded on the New York
Stock Exchange.
The NASDAQ-OTC Price Index (The "NASDAQ Index") is a market value-weighted and
unmanaged index showing the changes in the aggregate market value of
approximately 3,500 stocks relative to the base measure of 100.00 on February 5,
1971. The NASDAQ Index is composed entirely of common stocks of companies
traded over-the-counter and often through the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotations ("NASDAQ") system. Only those over-the-counter
stocks having only one market maker or traded on exchanges are excluded.
The Shearson Lehman Government Bond Index (the "SL Government Index") is a
measure of the market value of all public obligations of the U.S. Treasury; all
publicly issued debt of all agencies of the U.S. Government and all
quasi-federal corporations; and all corporate debt guaranteed by the U.S.
Government. Mortgage-backed securities, flower bonds and foreign targeted
issues are not included in the SL Government Index.
The Shearson Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (the "SL
Government/Corporate Index") is a measure of the market value of approximately
5,300 bonds with a face value currently in excess of $1.3 trillion. To be
included in the SL Government/Corporate Index, an issue must have amounts
outstanding in excess of $1 million, have at least one year to maturity and be
rated "Baa" or higher ("investment grade") by a nationally recognized rating
agency.

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. 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, 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, 1995.
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 and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hartford Life
Insurance Company (a Connecticut corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company) and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995. These consolidated financial statements and the
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of Hartford Life Insurance
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and schedules 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 consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
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
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Hartford Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Hartford
Life Insurance Company adopted new accounting standards promulgated by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, changing its methods of accounting, as of
January 1, 1994, for debt and equity securities.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in
the Index to Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules are presented for
purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. These
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly
state in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth
therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole.

HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements include Hartford Life Insurance Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Hartford Life" or the "Company"), ITT
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ILA") and ITT Hartford
International Life Reassurance Corporation ("HLRe"), formerly American Skandia
Life Reinsurance Corporation. Hartford Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company ("HLA"). Hartford Life is
ultimately owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company ("Hartford Fire"), which is
ultimately owned by ITT Hartford Group, Inc. ("ITT Hartford"), formerly a
subsidiary of ITT Corporation ("ITT"). On December 19, 1995, ITT Corporation
distributed all of the outstanding shares of ITT Hartford Group to ITT
Corporation Shareholders of record in an action known herein as the
"Distribution". As a result of the Distribution, ITT Hartford became an
independent publicly traded company.
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. The
Company offers life, annuity, pension, and disability insurance products.
These products are distributed and marketed by multiple distribution channels
which include broker-dealers, agents and banks, as well as a captive sales
force. Hartford Life conducts business primarily in the United States and is
licensed to write business in all 50 states. The Company is headquartered in
Simsbury, Connecticut and has 3,045 direct employees.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which differ in certain material respects from
the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by various insurance
regulatory authorities.
(B) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Effective January 1, 1994, Hartford Life adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities". The new standard requires, among other things,
that securities be classified as "held-to-maturity", "available-for-sale" or
"trading" based on Hartford Life's intentions with respect to the ultimate
disposition of the security and its ability to effect those intentions. The
classification determines the appropriate accounting carrying value (cost basis
or fair value) and, in the case of fair value, whether the adjustment impacts
Stockholder's Equity directly or is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. Investments in equity securities had previously been and continue to
be recorded at fair value with the corresponding impact included in
Stockholder's Equity. Under SFAS No. 115, Hartford Life's fixed maturities
are classified as "available-for-sale" and accordingly, these investments are
reflected at fair value with the corresponding impact included as a component
of Stockholder's Equity designated as "Unrealized loss on investments, net of
tax." As with the underlying investment security, unrealized gains and losses
on derivative financial instruments are considered in determining the fair
value of the portfolios. The impact of adoption was an increase to
Stockholder's Equity of $91. Hartford Life's cash flows were not impacted by
this change in accounting principle.
(C) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues for universal life policies and investment products consist of policy
charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration and surrender charges
assessed to policy account balances. Premiums for traditional life insurance
policies are recognized as revenues when they are due from policyholders.
Deferred acquisition costs are amortized using the retrospective deposit method
for universal life and other types of contracts where the payment pattern is
irregular or surrender charges are a significant source of profit and the
prospective deposit method is used where investment margins are the primary
source of profit.
F-6
<PAGE>
(D) FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS AND OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS
Liabilities for future policy benefits are computed by the net level premium
method using interest rate assumptions varying from 3% to 11% and withdrawal,
mortality and morbidity assumptions which vary by plan, year of issue and
policy durations and include a provision for adverse deviation. Other
policyholder funds which represent liabilities for universal life insurance and
investment products reflect policy account balances before applicable surrender
charges.
(E) POLICYHOLDER REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES
Realized gains and losses on security transactions associated with Hartford
Life's immediate participation guaranteed contracts are excluded from
revenues, since under the terms of the contracts the realized gains and losses
will be credited to policyholders in future years as they are entitled to
receive them.
(F) DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Policy acquisition costs, including commissions and certain underwriting
expenses associated with acquiring traditional life insurance products, are
deferred and amortized over the lesser of the estimated or actual contract
life. For universal life insurance and investment products, acquisition costs
are being amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected
gross profits from surrender charges, investment, mortality and expense
margins.
(G) INVESTMENTS
Hartford Life's investments in fixed maturities include bonds, redeemable
preferred stock and commercial paper which are classified as "available-for-
sale" and accordingly are carried at market value with the after-tax difference
from cost reflected as a component of Stockholder's Equity designated
"Unrealized loss on investments, net of tax". Equity securities, which include
common and non-redeemable preferred stocks, are carried at market value with
the after-tax difference from cost reflected in Stockholder's Equity. Realized
investment gains and losses, after deducting life and pension policyholders'
share, are reported as a component of revenue and are determined on a specific
identification basis.
(H) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Hartford Life uses a variety of derivative financial instruments including,
swaps, caps, floors, options, forwards and exchange traded financial futures as
part of an overall risk management strategy. These instruments, are used as a
means of hedging exposure to price, foreign currency and/or interest rate risk
on planned investment purchases or existing assets and liabilities. Hartford
Life does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes. Hartford Life's accounting for derivative financial instruments used
to manage risk is in accordance with the concepts established in SFAS No. 80,
"Accounting for Futures Contracts," SFAS No. 52 , "Foreign Currency
Translation", American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of
Position 86-2, "Accounting for Options" and various Emerging Issues Task Force
pronouncements. Written options are in all cases used in conjunction with other
assets and derivatives as part of an overall risk management strategy.
Derivative instruments are carried at values consistent with the asset or
liability being hedged. Derivatives used to hedge fixed maturities or equities
are carried at fair value with the after-tax difference from cost reflected in
Stockholder's Equity. Derivatives used to hedge other invested assets or
liabilities are carried at cost.
Derivatives, used as part of a risk management strategy, must be designated at
inception as a hedge and measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an
ongoing basis. Hartford Life's minimum correlation threshold for hedge
designation is 80%. If correlation, which is assessed monthly and measured
based on a rolling three month average, falls below 80%, hedge accounting will
be terminated. Derivatives used to create a synthetic asset must meet synthetic
accounting criteria including designation at inception and consistency of terms
between the synthetic and the instrument being replicated. Synthetic
instrument accounting, consistent with industry practice, provides that the
synthetic asset is accounted for like the financial instrument it is intended
to replicate. Derivatives which fail to meet risk management criteria are
marked to market with the impact reflected in the Consolidated Statements
of Income.
Gains or losses on financial futures contracts entered into in anticipation
of the future receipt of product cash flows are deferred and, at the time of
the ultimate purchase, reflected as a basis adjustment to the purchased
asset. Gains or losses on futures used in invested asset risk management are
deferred and adjusted into the basis of the hedged asset when the contract
futures are closed, except for futures used in duration hedging which are
deferred and basis adjusted on a quarterly basis. The basis adjustments are
amortized into investment income over the remaining asset life.
F-7
<PAGE>
Open forward commitment contracts are marked to market through Stockholder's
Equity. Such contracts are recorded at settlement by recording the purchase of
the specified securities at the previously committed price. Gains or losses
resulting from the termination of the forward commitment contracts before the
delivery of the securities are recognized immediately in the Consolidated
Statements of Income as a component of net investment income.
The cost of options entered into as part of a risk management strategy are
basis adjusted to the underlying asset or liability and amortized over the
remaining life of the hedge. Gains or losses on expiration or termination are
adjusted into the basis of the underlying asset or liability and amortized over
the remaining asset life.
Interest rate swaps involve the periodic exchange of payments without the
exchange of underlying principal or notional amounts. Net receipts or payments
are accrued and recognized over the life of the swap agreement as an
adjustment to income. Should the swap be terminated, the gain or loss is
adjusted into the basis of the asset or liability and amortized over the
remaining life. Should the hedged asset be sold or liability terminated without
terminating the swap position, any swap gains or losses are immediately
recognized in earnings. Interest rate swaps purchased in anticipation of an
asset purchase ("anticipatory transaction") are recognized consistent with the
underlying asset components such that the settlement component is recognized in
the Consolidated Statements of Income while the change in market value is
recognized as an unrealized gain or loss.
Premiums paid on purchased floor or cap agreements and the premium received on
issued floor or cap agreements (used for risk management), are adjusted into
the basis of the applicable asset and amortized over the asset life. Gains or
losses on termination of such positions are adjusted into the basis of the
asset or liability and amortized over the remaining asset life. Net payments
are recognized as an adjustment to income or basis adjusted and amortized
depending on the specific hedge strategy.
Forward exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps are accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 52.
(I) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions of Hartford Life with its parent and affiliates relate principally
to tax settlements, insurance coverage, rental and service fees and payment of
dividends and capital contributions. In addition, certain affiliated insurance
companies purchased group annuity contracts from Hartford Life to fund pension
costs and claim annuities to settle casualty claims.
On June 30, 1995, the assets of Lyndon Insurance Company ("Lyndon") were
contributed to ILA. As a result, ILA received approximately $365 in fixed
maturities, equity securities and cash, $26 in receivables, $187 of current
tax liability, $20 in deferred tax liability, and $3 of other liabilities.
The excess of assets over liabilities of $181 were recorded as an increase to
paid-in capital.
Substantially all general insurance expenses related to Hartford Life,
including rent expenses, are initially paid by Hartford Fire. Direct expenses
are allocated to Hartford Life using specific identification and indirect
expenses are allocated using other applicable methods.
The rent paid to Hartford Fire for the space occupied by Hartford Life was $3
in 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively. Hartford Life expects to pay rent of $3
in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively and $57 thereafter, over the
contract life of the lease.
(J) DIVIDEND TO POLICYHOLDERS
Dividends to policyholders primarily represent those amounts paid to corporate
owned life insurance ("COLI") policyholders. These dividend liabilities, which
appear as other policyholder funds on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are
recorded when approved by the board of directors.
See Note (4) for the related party coinsurance agreements.

</TABLE>
(a) Inverse floaters are variations of CMO's for which the coupon rates
move inversely with an index rate (e.g. LIBOR). The risk to principal is
considered negligible as the underlying collateral for the securities is
guaranteed or sponsored by government agencies. To address the volatility
risk created by the coupon variability, Hartford Life uses a variety of
derivative instruments, primarily interest rate swaps and issued floors.
(b) Includes issued caps $475 with a weighted average strike rate of 8.5%
(ranging from 7.0% to 10.4%) and over 85% mature in 2000 through 2004. Issued
floors totaled $236, have a weighted average strike rate of 8.1% (ranging
from 5.3% to 10.9%) and mature through 2007 with 76% maturing by 2004.
(c) Comprised of purchased floors of $1.8 billion and purchased caps of $1.7
billion. The floors have a weighted average strike price of 5.8% (ranging from
3.7% to 6.8%) and over 85% mature in 1997 through 1999. The caps have a
weighted average strike price of 7.5% (ranging from 4.5% and 10.1%) and over
82% mature in 1997 through 1999.
(d) Over 95% of futures contracts expire before December 31, 1996.
(e) Deferred gains and losses on anticipatory transactions are included in the
carrying value of bond investments in the consolidated balance sheets. At the
time of the ultimate purchase, they are reflected as a basis adjustment to the
purchased asset. At December 31, 1995, there were $5.3 in net deferred losses
for futures, interest rate swaps and purchased options.
(f) The following table summarizes the maturities by notional value of interest
rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 1995 and the related weighted average
interest pay rate or receive rate assuming current market conditions:

In addition to risk management through derivative financial instruments
pertaining to the investment portfolio, interest rate sensitivity related to
certain Company liabilities was altered primarily through interest rate swap
agreements. The notional
F-11
<PAGE>
amount of the liability agreements in which Hartford Life generally pays one
variable rate in exchange for another, was $1.7 billion at December 31, 1995 and
1994 respectively. The weighted average pay rate is 5.9%; the weighted average
receive rate is 6.0% , and these agreements mature at various times through
2001.
(F) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Hartford Life has a reinsurance recoverable of $5.6 billion from Mutual Benefit
Life Assurance Corporation (Mutual Benefit). The risk of Mutual Benefit
becoming insolvent is mitigated by the reinsurance agreement's requirement that
the assets be kept in a security trust with Hartford Life as sole beneficiary.
Excluding investments in U.S. government and agencies, Hartford Life has no
other significant concentrations of credit risk.
Included in fixed maturity investments at December 31, 1995 were $39 of
Orange County, California Pension Obligation Bonds, $17 of which were carried
in the general account and $22 which were included in Hartford Life's
guaranteed separate accounts. During 1995 all interest payments due were
received. While Orange County is currently operating under Protection of
Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws, Hartford Life believes the bonds
are not impaired other than on a temporary basis.

securities approximate those quotations published by applicable stock exchanges
or are received from other reliable sources; policy and mortgage loan carrying
amounts approximate fair value; investments in partnerships and trusts are based
on external market valuations from partnership and trust management; and other
policy claims and benefits payable are determined by estimating future cash
flows discounted at the current market rate.
3. INCOME TAX
Hartford Life is included in ITT Hartford Group's consolidated U.S. Federal
income tax return and remits to (receives from) ITT Hartford Group, Inc. a
current income tax provision (benefit) computed in accordance with the tax
sharing arrangements between its insurance subsidiaries. The effective tax
rate was 32% in 1995 and 1994, and approximates the U.S. statutory tax rate
of 35% in 1993.
F-13

The provision for income taxes was as follows:

Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1984, the Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act
of 1959 permitted the deferral from taxation of a portion of statutory income
under certain circumstances. In these situations, the deferred income was
accumulated in a "Policyholders' Surplus Account" and will be taxable in the
future only under conditions which management considers to be remote; therefore,
no Federal income taxes have been provided on this deferred income. The balance
for tax return purposes of the Policyholders' Surplus Account as of December 31,
1995 was $37.
4. REINSURANCE
Hartford Life cedes insurance to non-affiliated insurers in order to limit its
maximum loss. Such transfer does not relieve Hartford Life of its primary
liability. Hartford Life also assumes insurance from other insurers. Group
life and accident and health insurance business is substantially reinsured to
affiliated companies.
Life insurance net retained premiums were comprised of the following:

F-14
<PAGE>
Life reinsurance recoveries, which reduced death and other benefits, for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 approximated $220, $164, and $149,
respectively.
In December 1994, Hartford Life assumed from a third party approximately $500
of corporate owned life insurance reserves on a coinsurance basis. In
December 1995, this block of business was reinsured to HLRe utilizing
modified coinsurance, with the assets and policy liabilities placed in a
separate account. In October 1994, HLRe recaptured approximately $500 of
corporate owned life insurance from a third party reinsurer. Subsequent to
this transaction, Hartford Life and HLRe restructured their coinsurance
agreement from coinsurance to modified coinsurance, with the assets and
policy liabilities placed in the separate account. These transactions did not
have a material impact on consolidated net income.
Also in December 1994, ILA ceded to a third party $1.0 billion in individual
fixed and variable annuities on a modified coinsurance basis. In December 1995,
Hartford Life ceded approximately $1.2 billion in individual variable annuities
on a modified coinsurance basis to a third party. These transactions did not
have a material impact on consolidated net income.
In May 1994, Hartford Life assumed the life insurance policies and the
individual annuities of Pacific Standard with reserves and account values of
approximately $400. Hartford Life received cash and investment grade assets
to support the life insurance and individual annuity contract obligations
assumed.
In November 1993, ILA acquired, through an assumption reinsurance
transaction, substantially all of the individual fixed and variable annuity
business of HLA. As a result of this transaction, the assets and liabilities
of Hartford Life increased approximately $1 billion. The excess of
liabilities assumed over assets received, of $2, was recorded as a decrease
to capital surplus. The remaining $41 in assets and liabilities were
transferred in October 1995. The impact on consolidated net income was not
significant.
In August 1993, Hartford Life received assets of $300 for assuming the group
COLI contract obligations of Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, through
an assumption reinsurance transaction. Under the terms of the agreement,
Hartford Life coinsured back 75% of the liabilities to Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance Company. All assets supporting Mutual Benefit's reinsurance
liability to Hartford Life are placed in a "security trust", with Hartford
Life as the sole beneficiary. The impact on 1993 consolidated net income was
not significant.
5. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Hartford Life's employees are included in Hartford Fire's noncontributory
defined benefit pension plans. These plans provide pension benefits that are
based on years of service and the employee's compensation during the last ten
years of employment. Hartford Life's funding policy is to contribute annually
an amount between the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the maximum amount that can be
deducted for Federal income tax purposes. Generally, pension costs are funded
through the purchase of Hartford Life's group pension contracts. The cost to
Hartford Life was approximately $2, $2, and $3 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
Hartford Life provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
eligible retired employees. A substantial portion of Hartford Life's employees
may become eligible for these benefits upon retirement. Hartford Life's
contribution for health care benefits will depend on the retiree's date of
retirement and years of service. In addition, the plan has a defined dollar cap
which limits average company contributions. Hartford Life has prefunded a
portion of the health care and life insurance obligations through trust funds
where such prefunding can be accomplished on a tax effective basis.
Postretirement health care and life insurance benefits expense, allocated by
Hartford Fire were immaterial for 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively.
The assumed rate of future increases in the per capita cost of health care (the
health care trend rate) was 10.1% for 1995, decreasing ratably to 6.0% in the
year 2001. Increasing the health care trend rates by one percent per year would
have an immaterial impact on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
and the annual expense. To the extent that the actual experience differs from
the inherent assumptions, the effect will be amortized over the average future
service of the covered employees.

8. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Hartford Life maintains separate account assets and liabilities totaling $36.3
billion and $22.8 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively which
are reported at fair value. Separate account assets are segregated from other
investments and investment income and gains and losses accrue directly to the
policyholder. Separate accounts reflect two categories of risk assumption:
non-guaranteed separate accounts totaling $25.9 billion and $14.8 billion at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, wherein the policyholder assumes the
investment risk, and guaranteed separate account assets totaling $10.4 billion
and $8.0 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, wherein Hartford
Life contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the
policyholder. Included in the non-guaranteed category are policy loans
totaling $1.7 billion and $0.5 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Investment income (including investment gains and losses) and
interest credited to policyholders on separate account assets are not
reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Separate account
management fees, net of minimum guarantees, were $387, $256, and $189, in
1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
F-16
<PAGE>
The guaranteed separate accounts include modified guaranteed individual
annuity, and modified guaranteed life insurance. The average credit interest
rate on these contracts is 6.62%. The assets that support these liabilities
were comprised of $10.4 billion in bonds at December 31, 1995. The portfolios
are segregated from other investments and are managed so as to minimize
liquidity and interest rate risk. In order to minimize the risk of
disintermediation associated with early withdrawals, individual annuity and
modified guaranteed life insurance contracts carry a graded surrender charge
as well as a market value adjustment. Additional investment risk is hedged
using a variety of derivatives which totaled $133 million in carrying value
and $2.7 billion in notional amounts at December 31, 1995.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In August 1994, Hartford Life renewed a two year note purchase facility
agreement which in certain instances obligates Hartford Life to purchase up to
$100 million in collateralized notes from a third party. Hartford Life is
receiving fees for this commitment. At December 31, 1995, Hartford Life had
not purchased any notes under this agreement.
Under insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurers doing business
therein can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses
incurred by insolvent companies. The amount of any future assessments on
Hartford Life under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated. Most of these
laws do provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it
would threaten an insurer's own financial strength. Additionally, guaranty
fund assessments are used to reduce state premium taxes paid by the Company in
certain states. Hartford Life paid guaranty fund assessments of approximately
$10, $8 and $6 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
Hartford Life is involved in various legal actions, some of which involve
claims for substantial amounts. In the opinion of management the ultimate
liability with respect to such lawsuits, as well as other contingencies, is
not considered material in relation to the consolidated financial position of
Hartford Life.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners
As of December 31, 1995 there were _______ Contract Owners.
Item 28. Indemnification
Under Section 33-320a of the Connecticut General Statutes, the Registrant must
indemnify a director or officer against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts
paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, for
actions brought or threatened to be brought against him in his capacity as a
director or officer when it is determined by certain disinterested parties that
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the Registrant. In any criminal action or proceeding, it also must
be determined that the director or officer had no reason to believe his conduct
was unlawful. The director or officer must also be indemnified when he is
successful on the merits in the defense of a proceeding or in circumstances
where a court determines that he is fairly and reasonably entitled to be
indemnified, and the court approves the amount. In shareholder derivative
suits, the director or officer must be finally adjudged not to have breached his
duty to the Registrant or a court must determine that he is fairly and
reasonably entitled to be indemnified and must approve the amount. In a claim
based upon the director's or officer's purchase or sale of the Registrant's
securities, the director or officer may obtain indemnification only if a court
determines that, in view of all the circumstances, he is fairly and reasonably
entitled to be indemnified, and then for such amount as the court shall
determine.
The foregoing statements are specifically made subject to the detailed
provisions of Section 33-320a.
The directors and officers of Hartford Life and Hartford Securities Distribution
Company, Inc. ("HSD") are covered under a directors and officers liability
insurance policy issued to ITT Hartford Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Such
policy will reimburse the Registrant for any payments that it shall make to
directors and officers pursuant to law and will, subject to certain exclusions
contained in the policy, further pay any other costs, charges and expenses and
settlements and judgments arising from any proceeding involving any director or
officer of the Registrant in his past or present capacity as such, and for which
he may be liable, except as to any liabilities arising from acts that are deemed
to be uninsurable.
<PAGE>
-5-
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the June 26, 1995, made by and between HARTFORD LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY ("HLIC" or the "Sponsor"), a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Connecticut, and HARTFORD SECURITIES
DISTRIBUTION COMPANY, INC. ("HSD"), a corporation organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Connecticut,
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of HLIC has made provision for the establishment
of a separate account within HLIC in accordance with the laws of the State of
Connecticut, which separate account was organized and is established and
registered as a unit investment trust type investment company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940
("1940 Act"), as amended, and which is designated Hartford Life Insurance
Company Separate Account Two (referred to as the "UIT"); and
WHEREAS, HSD offers to the public a certain Flexible Premium Variable Annuity
Insurance Contract (the "Contract") issued by HLIC with respect to the UIT units
of interest thereunder which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933
("1933 Act"), as amended; and
WHEREAS, HSD has previously agreed to act as distributor in connection with
offers and sales of the Contract under the terms and conditions set forth in
this Principal Underwriter Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements made herein, HLIC and
HSD agree as follows:
I.
HSD'S DUTIES
1. HSD, as successor principal underwriter to Hartford Equity Sales Company,
Inc. for the Contract, will use its best efforts to effect offers and sales
of the Contract through broker-dealers that are members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and whose registered
representatives are duly licensed as insurance agents of HLIC. HSD is
responsible for compliance with all applicable requirements of the 1933
Act, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), as
amended, and the 1940 Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations
relating to the sales and distribution of the Contract, the need for which
arises out of its duties as principal underwriter of said Contract and
relating to the creation of the UIT.
<PAGE>
-2-
2. HSD agrees that it will not use any prospectus, sales literature, or any
other printed matter or material or offer for sale or sell the Contract if
any of the foregoing in any way represent the duties, obligations, or
liabilities of HLIC as being greater than, or different from, such duties,
obligations and liabilities as are set forth in this Agreement, as it may
be amended from time to time.
3. HSD agrees that it will utilize the then currently effective prospectus
relating to the UIT's Contracts in connection with its selling efforts.
As to the other types of sales materials, HSD agrees that it will use only
sales materials which conform to the requirements of federal and state
insurance laws and regulations and which have been filed, where necessary,
with the appropriate regulatory authorities.
4. HSD agrees that it or its duly designated agent shall maintain records of
the name and address of, and the securities issued by the UIT and held by,
every holder of any security issued pursuant to this Agreement, as required
by the Section 26(a)(4) of the 1940 Act, as amended.
5. HSD's services pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be
exclusive, and it may render similar services and act as an underwriter,
distributor, or dealer for other investment companies in the offering of
their shares.
6. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder on the part of
HSD, HSD shall not be subject to liability under a Contract for any act or
omission in the course, or connected with, rendering services hereunder.
II.
1. The UIT reserves the right at any time to suspend or limit the public
offering of the Contracts upon 30 days' written notice to HSD, except where
the notice period may be shortened because of legal action taken by any
regulatory agency.
2. The UIT agrees to advice HSD immediately:
(a) Of any request by the Securities and Exchange Commission for amendment
of its 1933 Act registration statement or for additional information;
(b) Of the issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the 1933 Act registration
statement relating to units of interest issued with respect to the UIT
or of the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
(c) Of the happening of any material event, if known, which makes untrue
any statement in
2
<PAGE>
-3-
said 1933 Act registration statement or which requires a change
therein in order to make any statement therein not misleading.
HLIC will furnish to HSD such information with respect to the UIT and the
Contracts in such form and signed by such of its officers and directors and
HSD may reasonably request and will warrant that the statements therein
contained when so signed will be true and correct. HLIC will also furnish,
from time to time, such additional information regarding the UIT's
financial condition as HSD may reasonably request.
III.
COMPENSATION
In accordance with an Expense Reimbursement Agreement between HLIC and HSD, HSD
is obligated to reimburse HSD for all operating expenses associated with the
services provided on behalf of the UIT under this Principal Underwriter
Agreement. No additional compensation is payable in excess of that required
under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement.
IV.
RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER
HSD may resign as a Principal Underwriter hereunder, upon 120 days' prior
written notice to HLIC. However, such resignation shall not become effective
until either the UIT has been completely liquidated and the proceeds of the
liquidation distributed through HLIC to the Contract owners or a successor
Principal Underwriter has been designated and has accepted its duties.
V.
MISCELLANEOUS
1. This Agreement may not be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the
written consent of the other party.
2. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in

EXHIBIT B
In accordance with Section V.(c) of the Broker-Dealer-Dealer Sales and
Supervision Agreement, no compensation is payable unless Broker-Dealer and
Registered Representative have first complied with all applicable state
insurance laws, rules and regulations. Distributor must ensure that any Broker-
Dealer with whom Distributor intends to enter into an Agreement and any
Registered Representatives meet the licensing and registration requirements of
the state(s) Broker-Dealer operates in and the NASD.
Companies are required by the Insurance Department in all 50 states to pay
compensation only to individuals and entities that are properly insurance
licensed and appointed. For registered products, Distributor must also comply
with NASD regulations that require Distributor to pay compensation to an NASD
registered Broker-Dealer. Distributor must comply with both state and NASD
requirements.
Distributor requires confirmation that Broker-Dealer holds current state
insurance licenses or markets insurance products through a contractual affiliate
or wholly owned life agency, which is properly insurance licensed. If Broker-
Dealer is properly state licensed then compensation may be paid to Broker-Dealer
in compliance with both state and NASD requirements.
If Broker-Dealer is not state insurance licensed and relies on the licensing of
a contractual affiliate or wholly owned life agency, the SEC has issued a number
of letters indicating that, under specific limited circumstances, it will take
"no action" against insurers (Distributor) paying compensation on registered
products to Broker-Dealer's contractual affiliate or wholly owned life agency.
At the request of Broker-Dealer, Distributor will provide copies of several of
these letters as well as a summary of their requirements.
If Broker-Dealer intends to rely on one of these "no-action" letters, legal
counsel for Broker-Dealer must confirm to Distributor in writing that all of the
circumstances of any one of the SEC no-action letters are applicable. Broker-
Dealer's counsel must summarize each point upon which the no-action relief was
granted and represent that Broker-Dealer's method of operation is identical or
meets the same criteria. Broker-Dealer's counsel must also confirm that, to the
best of counsel's knowledge, the SEC has not rescinded or modified its no-action
position since the letter was released.
The Broker-Dealer Sales and Supervision Agreement will not be finalized and no
new applications for registered products will be accepted or no new compensation
will be payable unless the appropriate proof of state licensing or no-action
relief is confirmed. In addition to a letter from Broker-Dealer's counsel,
copies of the following documentation is required:
-- life insurance licenses for all states in which Broker-Dealer holds
these licenses and intends to operate and/or;
-- life insurance licenses for any contractual affiliate or wholly owned
life agency; and
-- the SEC No-Action Letter that will be relied upon.
If you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact your Life
Licensing and Contracting representative.

RE: SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO ("SEPARATE ACCOUNT")
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ("COMPANY")
FILE NO. 33-6952
Dear Sir/Madam:
In my capacity as Associate General Counsel of the Company, I have supervised
the establishment of the Separate Account by the Board of Directors of the
Company as a separate account for assets applicable to Contracts offered by the
Company pursuant to Connecticut law. I have participated in the preparation of
the registration statement for the Separate Account on Form N-4 under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to
the Contracts.
I am of the following opinion:
1. The Separate Account is a separate account of the Company validly existing
pursuant to Connecticut law and the regulations issued thereunder.
2. The assets held in the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities
arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.
3. The Contracts are legally issued and represent binding obligations of the
Company.
In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of the law
and examined such records and other documents as in my opinion as are necessary
or appropriate.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933.
Sincerely,
/s/ Lynda Godkin
Lynda Godkin
