Hartford
   Small Company HLS Fund 


Portfolio Manager
                          Q. How Did The Fund Perform?
[PHOTOGRAPH]
MARK S. WATERHOUSE        The Hartford Small Company HLS Class IB shares 
Vice President            outperformed its Lipper peer group for the year 
Wellington Management     ending December 31, 1998.  The Fund provided a 
 Company, LLP             total return of 11.4% versus 1.5% for the Lipper 
                          Small Company VA-UF Average, placing the Fund in the
                          first quartile of performance for funds in the group.


                          Q. Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?

                          The greatest single contributor to the great 
                          performance in 1998 was maintaining our conviction
                          on our holdings during periods of market volatility, 
                          while adhering to our discipline and taking advantage 
                          of market gyrations to acquire attractively valued 
                          smaller companies.   


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          We are very optimistic about small cap stocks in 1999.
                          In light of larger cap companies' greater reliance on
                          markets outside of the U.S. for profit growth, 
                          aggregate earnings estimates for small caps exceeds 
                          the expected growth for major companies. In addition,
                          due to their recent relative underperfomance, small
                          caps are attractively valued with multiples, in some 
                          instances, at 15-20 year lows. Going forward, we 
                          will continue to focus on identifying the most
                          attractive opportunities in the small cap universe.
                          As a guide, we will concentrate on those economic 
                          sectors where we see the greatest potential and on
                          those small companies with strong, healthy balance
                          sheets and 15-20% earnings growth.

Hartford
   Capital Appreciation HLS Fund 


Portfolio Manager
                          Q. How Did The Fund Perform?
[PHOTOGRAPH] 
SAUL J. PANNELL, CFA      The Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Class IB
Senior Vice President     shares underperformed its Lipper peer group for the
 and Partner              year ending December 31, 1998. The Fund provided a 
Wellington Management     total return of 15.3% versus 22.2% for the Lipper
 Company, LLP             Capital Appreciation VA-UF Average. 


                          Q. Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?

                          Due to their perceived safe haven characteristics, 
                          large cap, blue chip stocks dominated the market in 
                          1998. There was a wide disparity between the
                          performance of "mega-caps" and everything else in the
                          market. The Capital Appreciation Fund is invested in 
                          many mid and small cap companies that we believe have
                          great capital appreciation potential. The significant
                          exposure to smaller companies, which has been greater
                          than many funds with a similar mandate, limited the 
                          Fund's returns this year.


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          During 1999, we may well see a reversal of the large 
                          cap dominance of the equity market. Therefore, we 
                          are confident that our approach of focusing on
                          opportunities for capital appreciation regardless of
                          market capitalization, will provide satisfactory 
                          returns. The overall strategy for the Fund is dual
                          faceted: we will emphasize smaller companies with 
                          dynamic earnings growth prospects, and use larger 
                          stocks as opportunistic trades where we see a catalyst
                          for outperformance. We have tended to roam off the 
                          beaten path, historically where the most upside 
                          potential has been. This approach should provide 
                          positive absolute and relative results over the 
                          longer term. While the overall market outlook remains
                          controversial, macroeconomic and valuation factors 
                          endorse our positioning.

[PHOTOGRAPH]
TROND SKRAMSTAD           The Hartford International Opportunities HLS Class IB
Senior Vice President     shares performed in line with its Lipper peer group
 and Partner              for the year ending December 31, 1998. The Fund
Wellington Management     provided a total return of 13.0% versus 13.3% for 
 Company, LLP             the Lipper International VA-UF Average.


                          Q. Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?

                          Despite a volatile year for international equity 
                          markets, the Hartford International Opportunities 
                          Fund fared well as a result of its strategic country
                          allocation decisions. The Fund was well positioned to
                          benefit from strong performing markets in Europe and 
                          limited losses in crisis areas such as Japan and the 
                          Emerging Markets. The Fund was also repositioned to 
                          have greater exposure to large cap stocks capable of 
                          withstanding the challenges of less dynamic global 
                          economic growth.

                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          We expect lackluster corporate profits growth globally
                          in 1999. Although profit growth will slow, equities 
                          should post good performance due to lower global 
                          interest rates.  We believe owning stable growth 
                          companies during such a period of decelerating 
                          corporate profits and global economic weakness is 
                          the prudent investment strategy. We are bullish on 
                          Europe, where the corporate restructuring and  
                          increased focus on shareholder returns will be 
                          accelerated by the Euro. We are concerned by the 
                          slow pace of change in Japan and will limit 
                          exposure to this market until we see substantial 
                          progress on structural reforms. Despite Japan's 
                          problems, there are select investment 
                          opportunities, such as in the attractively valued 
                          technology sector. The investment risks in the 
                          Emerging Markets currently outweigh the prospective 
                          rewards, but we will continue to monitor 
                          developments in these regions to identify 
                          attractive opportunities.

                          Q. How Did The Fund Perform?
[PHOTOGRAPH]
RAND L. ALEXANDER, CFA    The Hartford Stock HLS Fund Class IB shares 
Senior Vice President     outperformed its Lipper peer group for the year
 and Partner              ending December 31, 1998. The Fund provided a total
Wellington Management     return of 33.2% versus 24.9% for the Lipper Growth 
 Company, LLP             VA-UF Average, placing the Fund in the second quartile
                          of performance for funds in the group. 

                          Q. Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?

                          In spite of the market turmoil in 1998, investors who
                          focused on large-cap, high quality companies with 
                          consistent or accelerating earnings growth were well
                          rewarded. The market's performance was dominated by a
                          small number of very large companies who were able to
                          deliver in a difficult environment. These are exactly
                          the type of companies in which the Stock Fund invests.
                          The Fund also benefited from our overweight positions 
                          in technology, healthcare, retail and media -- sectors
                          which performed well in 1998.

                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          With low inflation, less dynamic economic growth, 
                          and the potential for lower interest rates, we 
                          expect the market to continue to focus on companies 
                          with consistent and predictable earnings growth.  
                          The Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts have been 
                          welcomed by Wall Street but have not had much 
                          impact on global economic growth, therefore, we 
                          expect further efforts on the part of the world's 
                          central bankers to stimulate the worldwide economy. 
                          These efforts could lead to a period of rapid 
                          growth which would focus investors' attention on 
                          more cyclical sectors of the market. At such time, 
                          we would increase our exposure to commodities 
                          producers and manufacturing.

LAURIE A. GABRIEL, CFA    The Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund Class IB 
Senior Vice President     shares performed in line with its Lipper peer group 
 and Partner              for the year ending December 31, 1998. The Fund
Wellington Management     provided a total return of 16.2% versus 16.8% for the
 Company, LLP             Lipper Equity Income VA-UF Average, placing the Fund 
                          in the second quartile of performance for funds in 
                          the group. 

                          Q. Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?

                          During 1998, growth-oriented stocks outpaced value 
                          stocks. In light of our dividend-oriented, value bias,
                          some of the Fund's holdings were under pressure. Our
                          lack of holdings in the information technology area 
                          which we find to be overvalued, was also a drawback.
                          Substantial holdings in the industrial/commercial and
                          information/entertainment sectors were beneficial to
                          the Fund.

                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          We will continue to look for value plays across all 
                          industries.  This is a key feature of the Fund's 
                          investment strategy. Since the focus of our 
                          investment approach is stock selection, the sector 
                          representation will be fairly stable over time.  In 
                          light of slower global growth and benign inflation 
                          trends, we are well positioned going into 1999 as 
                          we have limited our exposure to cyclical companies 
                          (commodities, manufacturing) while maximizing 
                          holdings in more promising areas such as health 
                          care and consumer products.  In our stock 
                          selection, we will continue identifying stocks with 
                          above average yields and below average 
                          price/earnings ratios.

                          Q. Why Did The Fund Perform This Way? 
[PHOTOGRAPH]
PAUL D. KAPLAN            During volatile times, allocating assets between 
Senior Vice President     stocks and bonds within a portfolio is an enormous 
 and Partner              advantage. Merely having that flexibility, 
Wellington Management     however, is not enough. The asset allocation we 
 Company, LLP             used within the portfolio allowed us to capture 
                          strong stock market performance and utilize fixed 
                          income to protect the Fund during difficult times, 
                          such as in the third quarter '98. By gradually 
                          adjusting the weighting between stocks, bonds, and 
                          cash we were able to use our expectations of market 
                          developments to produce attractive Fund returns. 

                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          Short- and intermediate-term yields are likely to 
                          fall as the eventual weakening of the economy will 
                          permit the Federal Reserve to lower short-term 
                          interest rates. The current backdrop of slower 
                          economic growth and historically low inflation 
                          bodes well for the U.S. fixed income market.  

                          While we are optimistic about U.S. equities, we are 
                          also wary about market valuation levels. Therefore,
                          we will maintain our exposure to equities around
                          55%, this is a neutral stance versus our benchmark
                          index. In addition, we will continue to focus on 
                          well-established, larger companies which will be 
                          capable of delivering consistent earnings results 
                          despite a more challenging economic environment.

Hartford
   Bond HLS Fund 


Portfolio Manager 

                          Q. How Did The Fund Perform?
[PHOTOGRAPH]
ALISON D.                 The Hartford Bond HLS Class IB shares 
GRANGER, CFA              outperformed its Lipper peer group for the year 
Senior Vice President     ending December 31, 1998.  The Fund provided a 
The Hartford              total return of 8.0% versus 7.4% for the Lipper 
Investment Management     Corporate Debt "BBB" rated VA-UF Average, 
Company (HIMCO)           placing the Fund in the second quartile of 
                          performance for funds in the group.


                          Q. Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?

                          The average maturity and interest rate duration 
                          of the Fund remained longer than its benchmark 
                          index for 1998, resulting in price gains as 
                          Treasury yields declined by roughly a full 
                          percent during the year. We began 1998 with a 
                          higher than average portfolio credit quality, 
                          and continued to increase Treasury holdings 
                          through September.  This contributed to the 
                          Fund's outperformance relative to its peer 
                          average during the credit market declines of 
                          the summer and early fall.  Although they were 
                          relatively minimal, the fund's holdings in 
                          non-investment grade debt offset some of the 
                          outperformance produced by its longer duration 
                          and high average credit quality.  A 
                          concentration in U.S. Treasury Inflation 
                          Protected Securities failed to produce the 
                          expected returns we anticipated, as their 
                          historically attractive real yields did not 
                          decline to the extent expected given 1998's 
                          significant decline in nominal Treasury yields. 


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          The domestic economy appears indecisive, with 
                          consumer-related indicators, such as retail 
                          sales and housing markets, booming.  Inflation, 
                          however, remains in check and manufacturing 
                          continues to display weakness.  We believe the 
                          Fed easing bias will be delayed, and could be 
                          tempered by foreign influences, with the advent 
                          of the Euro and repatriation of assets to 
                          Japan.  Europe and Japan are likely to reduce 
                          their holdings in the U.S. in favor of Euro- or 
                          Yen-denominated securities, creating upward 
                          pressure on interest rates here. Corporate, 
                          asset-backed and mortgage-related fixed income 
                          securities are still at historically attractive 
                          levels, but pitfalls abound for the unwary.  
                          For that reason, we expect to continue our 
                          high-average-credit-quality approach to 
                          management of the Fund.  Select opportunities 
                          can be found in the commodity sectors, which 
                          underperformed during 1998, and now display an 
                          attractive risk/reward profile.

Nations
   Balanced Assets Portfolio 

Portfolio Manager 
                          Q. How Did The Portfolio Perform?

Value Management Team,    From its inception on March 27, 1998 to 
TradeStreet Investment    December 31, 1998, the Portfolio declined 
Associates, Inc.          2.23%, underperforming its benchmarks.


                          Q. Why Did The Portfolio Perform This Way?

                          Nations Balanced Assets Portfolio is an 
SHARON HERRMANN, CFA      equity-oriented balanced fund.  In its equity 
                          investments, the Portfolio took a deep value 
MIKE FULGINITI, CFA       approach over the first half of the year, 
                          leading to disappointing performance.  In the 
MARCUS GRIFFIN, CFA       third quarter, adjustment to a more diversified 
                          value discipline improved relative performance. 
SCOTT WOLLE, CFA          Value investing was clearly out of favor 
                          during the period, creating disparities in the 
TIMOTHY ESCOTT, CFA       returns between growth stocks and value stocks 
                          to a degree not witnessed since World War II.  
TIMOTHY BEYER, CFA        Investors' concerns over global economic 
                          events, coupled with historically low 
                          inflation, and a confident U.S. consumer led to 
                          dominance in the equity market by those 
                          companies deemed consistent growers of high 
                          financial quality.  The fundamental 
                          overvaluations of these companies (many selling 
                          at more than 40 times current earnings, with 
                          declining growth rates) were virtually ignored. 
                          Investors were instead attracted by liquidity 
                          and perceived stability.  At year-end, the 
                          equities held in the Portfolio are 
                          fundamentally undervalued, when viewed on a 
                          weighted average price to earnings basis of 
                          18.2, compared to 23.8 for the Standard & 
                          Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 
                          500), and a price to book value of 5.3 times, 
                          compared to 6.7 times for the market.  We are 
                          optimistic this value will be recognized over 
                          the coming 12 to 18 month time frame.*

                          The fixed income portion of the portfolio is 
                          concentrated in intermediate term, investment 
                          grade corporate securities.  The period was a 
                          difficult one for the bond market, particularly 
                          for the corporate sector, as international 
                          events and the activities of hedge funds sent 
                          fixed income investors to U.S. Treasury bonds 
                          in a search for liquidity. 


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          We expect the equity markets to remain volatile 
                          and challenging over the coming year.  Somewhat 
                          slower economic growth, coupled with low 
                          dom-estic inflation should bode well for a 
                          positive environment for equities.  However, 
                          valuation levels, particularly for the stable 
                          earnings companies (growth companies) which 
                          comprise the largest market capitalizations 
                          within the S&P 500 remain at historically high 
                          levels.  There doesn't appear to be any room 
                          for disappointment at this level.  Mindful of 
                          the valuation disparities in the market between 
                          growth and value stocks, we remain optimistic 
                          on specific stocks which have valuation appeal 
                          and forward momentum.  In the fixed income 
                          markets, we believe longer-term values are 
                          attractive in the corporate bond market with 
                          overall credit quality measures remaining high.

                          * The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock 
                          Price Index is a market-capitalization weighted 
                          index that measures the value of 400 industrial

                          and unavailable for investment.

                          The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from 
                          that presented for other Nations Funds 
                          Portfolios.

Portfolio Manager 

Structured Products       Q. How Did The Portfolio Perform?
Management Team,       
TradeStreet Investment    From its inception on March 27, 1998 through 
Associates, Inc.          December 31, 1998, the Portfolio provided 
                          shareholders with a return of 6.44%, 
                          substantially underperforming the Standard & 
JEFF MOSER, CFA           Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 
                          500) for the period.  The stock market surged 
GREG GOLDEN               upward in the fourth quarter, taking the 
                          indexes to record highs and enabling the bull 
DAN SKUBIZ                market to continue.  Led by investments in 
                          strong performing groups like technology 
                          (Lucent Technologies Inc., Lexmark 
                          International Group Inc., Compuware 
                          Corporation) and consumer retail (TJX Companies 
                          Inc., Best Buy Company, Inc., Dayton Hudson 
                          Corporation) the Portfolio was able to post a 
                          very strong 23.48% return for the three months 
                          ending December 31.  The Portfolio's return 
                          compares very favorably with the 21.30% return 
                          for the S&P 500 Index over the same period.* 

                          Q. Why Did The Portfolio Perform This Way?

                          What we noticed most about the equity market in 
                          1998 is that it became increasingly narrow and 
                          tiered, with positive performance for the S&P 
                          500 more and more concentrated in a very few 
                          stocks.  Our process uses a multi-factor 
                          screening to help select stocks with the best 
                          combined characteristics of earnings quality 
                          and predictability, and reasonable valuation.  
                          We noticed that within the S&P 500, the 
                          strongest performance appeared to be focused in 
                          the stocks with the largest capitalizations and 
                          a high degree of liquidity - as long as the 
                          earnings story remained intact.  Price or 
                          valuation didn't seem to be an issue.  Since 
                          our process considers valuation an important 
                          discriminatory factor, we did not own market 
                          weightings in all of the big movers because 
                          they had become expensive.  The further one got 
                          away from the narrow list of S&P 500 "movers" 
                          the more performance lagged.  Our process tends 
                          to discriminate better and generate excess 
                          performance when the market is broader.  As the 
                          market broadened out in the last three months 
                          of the year and moved away from the September 
                          quarter's "flight to quality" phase, Nations 
                          Disciplined Equity Portfolio's performance 
                          rebounded. 


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          In our view, the corporate profit picture will 
                          remain important for equity investors in 1999.  
                          As in 1998, the markets will focus on top-line 
                          growth, sales power, and consistency of 
                          earnings generation.  Our inflation view 
                          remains very positive.  We think inflation 
                          should be less than 2.5%.  After stepping in to 
                          lower interest rates on three occasions in the 
                          second half of last year, we would expect the 
                          Federal Reserve Board to remain on the 
                          sidelines as it observes the recent above-trend 
                          growth of the domestic economy.   We are 
                          cautious on the equity market due to the 
                          extended valuation of the largest companies 
                          that make up the large capitalization indexes.  
                          Better values can be found in smaller and 
                          mid-capitalization issues.  We are optimistic 
                          that Nations Disciplined Equity Portfolio will 
                          perform well in this environment.

Portfolio Manager 
                          Q. How Did The Portfolio Perform? 

BRIAN O'NEILL,            From its inception on March 27, 1998 to 
Gartmore Global           December 31, 1998, the Portfolio provided 
Partners                  shareholders with a return of 3.11%, slightly 
                          underperforming its benchmark.  



                          Q. Why Did The Portfolio Perform This Way?

                          During the period under review, international 
                          markets were extremely volatile, rising only 
                          slightly during the second quarter, while 
                          falling dramatically in the quarter ending in 
                          September and rebounding strongly in the final 
                          quarter. The Portfolio's bottom-up investment 
                          strategy emphasizes growth stocks, which tended 
                          to be hurt most by the market volatility and 
                          major downswings.  In particular, banks and 
                          other financial stocks, such as the U.K. 
                          investment company Amvescap PLC and Standard 
                          Chartered PLC, a U.K. bank with exposure to 
                          Asia, were badly hit by the 'contagion' effect 
                          of the Asian economic crisis which spread to 
                          Latin America, the Russian ruble crisis and the 
                          collapse of a major U.S. hedge fund during the 
                          middle of the period under review.  However, by 
                          the end of the year these stocks, as well as 
                          Portfolio holdings in other high growth sectors 
                          such as telecommunications, had recovered and 
                          were showing gains for the final quarter well 
                          above the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East 
                          Index (EAFE).* 


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          Looking forward, we continue to search for 
                          stocks with the potential for upside earnings 
                          surprise and attractive valuations.  Our 
                          holdings will remain concentrated in pan-Europe 
                          where the combination of corporate activity, 
                          low interest rates and the potential for 
                          further growth in some sectors creates a 
                          favorable environment in which to invest.  
                          Within Europe, our strategy has resulted in a 
                          number of potentially attractive investments in 
                          the region's top performing economy - Ireland - 
                          in companies such as CRH, the fastest growing 
                          and most profitable building materials company 
                          within Europe and one of the strongest 
                          performers in the portfolio over the last 
                          quarter.  While we expect a general slowdown 
                          during 1999, we will continue to focus our 
                          attention on companies and sectors we think 
                          likely to outperform in a volatile market 
                          environment, while diversifying the portfolio 
                          to reduce risk.

                          * The MSCI International Europe, Australasia

                          Australasia and the Far East.  It is 
                          unavailable for investment.
                          
                          Portfolio holdings are subject to change and 
                          may not be representative of current holdings.
                          
                          The outlook for the Portfolio may differ from 
                          that presented for other Nations Funds 
                          portfolios.

Structured Products 
  Management Team,
TradeStreet Investment    For the period under review, Nations Managed 
Associates, Inc.          Index Portfolio slightly trailed the Standard & 
                          Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 
GREG GOLDEN               500) during the most difficult equity market of 
                          recent memory.  Market anomalies were prevalent 
JEFF MOSER, CFA           -from the largest growth/value performance 
                          differential since 1975 (27.5% in favor of 
DAN SKUBIZ                growth) to the widest gap between large 
                          capitalization and small capitalization stocks 
                          on record (30 percentage points using the S&P 
                          500 and Russell 2000 indexes).* 

                          Q. Why Did The Portfolio Perform This Way?

                          In this environment it is easy to see why most 
                          money managers underperformed the S&P 500.  
                          Historically, money managers tend to have a 
                          better chance of out-performing their 
                          benchmarks when there is market "breadth," or a 
                          wide-spread rise in stock prices.  This was not 
                          the case in 1998.  In fact, an indication of 
                          the narrowness of the market was evidenced by 
                          the percentage of companies within the S&P 500 
                          that outperformed the index itself - a mere 
                          28%.  This is the lowest percentage in 13 
                          years.  When looking for answers as to why it 
                          was so difficult to achieve market-beating 
                          returns, it is helpful to review the measures 
                          used in identifying attractive investment 
                          opportunities.

                          Our process uses nine fundamental measures of a 
                          company's prospects for the future: Price 
                          Momentum, Earnings Surprise, Estimate Revision, 
                          EPS Change, Dividend Yield, Cash Flow, Book 
                          Value, Reported EPS Yield, Estimated EPS Yield, 
                          and Earnings Growth.  Historically, using a 
                          combination of these factors has worked well in 
                          identifying attractive companies and avoiding 
                          problems.

                          In 1998, only three of these factors added 
                          value in screening out the best candidates.  
                          These three factors comprised only 26% of the 
                          model's overall weight.  The remaining six 
                          actually inverted, meaning that the market 
                          punished the most attractive companies in terms 
                          of valuation and growth measures, and rewarded 
                          those deemed to be overvalued or having the 
                          largest market capitalization.  Fortunately, 
                          our method of portfolio construction and risk 
                          control limited the amount of relative 
                          underperformance. 


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          Our expectations for 1999 are for a 
                          continuation of low inflation and low but 
                          sustainable growth for our economy.  This 
                          should be a favorable environment for stocks.  
                          Although volatility may continue, it is our 
                          opinion that the bizarre behavior of 1998 will 
                          dissipate and investors will return to a more 
                          rational pattern of rewarding those companies 
                          that are most attractive in terms of growth and 
                          valuation measures.

                          * The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock 
                          Price Index is a market-capitalization weighted 
                          index that measures the value of 400 industrial 
                          stocks, 60 transportation and utility company 
                          stocks and 40 financial issues. It is unmanaged 
                          and unavailable for investment.

                          The Russell 2000 is a capitalization-weighted 
                          index that includes 2,000 of the smallest 
                          stocks representing approximately 11% of the 
                          U.S. equity market. It is unmanaged and 
                          unavailable for investment.

                          The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from 
                          that presented for other Nations Funds

                          wide-spread rise in stock prices.  This was not 
                          the case in 1998.  In fact, an indication of 
                          the narrowness of the market was evidenced by 
                          the percentage of companies within the S&P 500 
                          that outperformed the index itself - a mere 
                          28%.  This is the lowest percentage in 13 
                          years.  When looking for answers as to why it 
                          was so difficult to achieve market-beating 
                          returns, it is helpful to review the measures 
                          used in identifying attractive investment 
                          opportunities.

                          Our process uses nine fundamental measures of a 
                          company's prospects for the future: Price 
                          Momentum, Earnings Surprise, Estimate Revision, 
                          EPS Change, Dividend Yield, Cash Flow, Book 
                          Value, Reported EPS Yield, Estimated EPS Yield, 
                          and Earnings Growth.  Historically, using a 
                          combination of these factors has worked well in 
                          identifying attractive companies and avoiding 
                          problems.

                          In 1998, only three of these factors added 
                          value in screening out the best candidates.  
                          These three factors comprised only 26% of the 
                          model's overall weight.  The remaining six 
                          actually inverted, meaning that the market 
                          punished the most attractive companies in terms 
                          of valuation and growth measures, and rewarded 
                          those deemed to be overvalued or having the 
                          largest market capitalization.  Fortunately, 
                          our method of portfolio construction and risk 
                          control added to the Portfolio's relative 
                          outperformance. 


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          Our expectations for 1999 are for a 
                          continuation of low inflation and low but 
                          sustainable growth for the U.S. economy.  This 
                          should be a favorable environment for stocks.  
                          Although volatility may continue, it is our 
                          opinion that the bizarre behavior of 1998 will 
                          dissipate and investors will return to a more 
                          rational pattern of rewarding those companies 
                          that are most attractive in terms of growth and 
                          valuation measures.

                          U.S. equity market. It is unmanaged and 
                          unavailable for investment.

                          The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from 
                          that presented for other Nations Funds 
                          Portfolios.

                          BECAUSE SMALL CAPITALIZATION COMPANIES OFTEN

Portfolio Manager 
                          Q. How Did The Portfolio Perform?

Value Management Team,    Characteristic of value oriented portfolios in 
TradeStreet Investment    1998, Nations Value Portfolio returned a modest 
Associates, Inc.          4.48% from its inception on March 27,1998 
                          through December 31, 1998.  The disparity in 
                          returns between the Portfolio and the broad 
SHARON HERRMANN, CFA      market (the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite 
                          Stock Price Index returned 13.49% over the 
MIKE FULGINITI, CFA       reporting period) reflects the unprecedented 
                          spread between value and growth stocks that 
MARCUS GRIFFIN, CFA       occurred in 1998; the largest disparity since 
                          World War II.* 
TIMOTHY BEYER, CFA  
                          Q. Why Did The Portfolio Perform This Way?
TIMOTHY ESCOTT, CFA 
                          Investors' concerns over global economic 
SCOTT WOLLE, CFA          events, coupled with historically low 
                          inflation, and a confident U.S. consumer led to 
                          dominance in the market by those companies 
                          deemed consistent growers of high financial 
                          quality.  The fundamental overvaluations of 
                          these companies (many selling at more than 40 
                          times current earnings, with declining earnings 
                          growth rates) were virtually ignored. Investors 
                          were instead attracted by their liquidity and 
                          perceived stability.
                          
                          During the first three-quarters of the year, 
                          the market was dominated by very large market 
                          capitalization, high price-to-earnings ratio 
                          growth stocks.  These stocks drove performance 
                          to historically high valuation levels.  During 
                          the third quarter the markets declined sharply, 
                          leading to a substantial rally of approximately 
                          20% during the fourth quarter.  The fourth 
                          quarter brought fundamental valuation back into 
                          favor and value equities gained a tremendous 
                          amount of ground.  During the fourth quarter, 
                          as the market exploded, Nations Value Portfolio 
                          earned 19.3%.  Over the reporting period, basic 
                          material and industrial cyclical companies 
                          declined the most.  The Portfolio's 
                          underweighted position in these areas led to 
                          positive relative performance compared to 
                          other, less diversified, value funds.  The 
                          biggest gainers were in the Technology sector, 
                          with Sun Microsystems, Inc. leading the charge, 
                          up 105%, International Business Machines 
                          Corporation, up 77.5%, and Compaq Computer 
                          Corporation, up 58.7%. **
                          
                          The Portfolio is fundamentally undervalued, in 
                          our opinion, when viewed on a weighted average 
                          price-to-earnings ratio basis of 18.2, compared 
                          to 23.8 for the S&P 500 Stock Index, and a 
                          price to book value of 5.3 times, compared to 
                          6.7 times for the market.  We are optimistic 
                          this value will be recognized over the  coming 
                          12 to 18 month time frame. 


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          We expect the equity markets to remain volatile 
                          and challenging over the coming year.  Somewhat 
                          slower economic growth, coupled with low 
                          domestic inflation should bode well for a 
                          positive environment for equities.  However, 
                          valuation levels, particularly for the stable 
                          earnings companies (growth companies) which 
                          comprise the largest market capitalizations 
                          within the S&P 500 remain at historically high 
                          levels. There doesn't appear to be any room for 
                          disappointment at this level.  Mindful of the 
                          valuation disparities in the market between 
                          growth and value stocks, we remain optimistic 
                          on specific stocks which have valuation appeal 
                          and forward momentum.

Portfolio Manager 

                          Q. How Did The Portfolio Perform?
THOMAS F. MARSICO,      
Marsico Capital           From its inception on March 27, 1998 through
Management, LLC           December 31, 1998, the Portfolio provided  
                          shareholders with a return of 21.80%, 
                          substantially outperforming the Standard & 
                          Poor's 500 Composite Stock Index (S&P 500) for 
                          the period.* 

                          Q. Why Did The Portfolio Perform This Way?

                          The Portfolio's investment strategy was well 
                          positioned from a macroeconomic outlook.  This 
                          included being invested in some of the better 
                          performing sectors, industries and individual 
                          stocks.

                          The Portfolio continues to target high quality, 
                          large capitalization companies that have global 
                          franchises, are experiencing positive change, 
                          are led by strong management, and have superior 
                          earnings growth potential.  In terms of sector 
                          and industry exposure, the Portfolio, over the 
                          course of the year, had substantial allocations 
                          in technology, pharmaceuticals and financial 
                          services.  It also had significant positions in 
                          automotive, cable TV and retail.

                          During the year, a number of individual 
                          holdings contributed positively to results.  
                          Some of the standout performers included: Cisco 
                          Systems Inc., Dell Computer Corporation,  EMC 
                          Corporation, Federal National Mortgage 
                          Association, Ford Motor Company, International 
                          Business Machines Corporation, Lucent 
                          Technologies Inc., Microsoft Corporation and 
                          Pfizer Inc.** 


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          We believe that the current bull market is 
                          likely to last not just another three, six, 
                          nine, or 12 months, but that it could last 
                          several years.  The difference between 
                          inflation and interest rates is historically 
                          high, so the Federal Reserve Board should 
                          continue easing rates, which is good for 
                          stocks. We're also expecting business in Asia 
                          to show improvement in the next year.  The 
                          global economy is particularly important for 
                          the stocks we buy, as they tend to do a lot of 
                          business overseas and they benefit from growth 
                          in world trade.

                          *The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock 
                          Price Index is a market-capitalization weighted 
                          index that measures the value of 400 industrial 
                          stocks, 60 transportation and utility company 
                          stocks, and 40 financial issues. It is 
                          unmanaged and unavailable for investment.

                          that presented for other Nations Funds 
                          portfolios.

                          Q. How Did The Portfolio Perform?

                          From its inception on March 27, 1998 through 
THOMAS F. MARSICO,        December 31, 1998, the Portfolio provided 
Marsico Capital           shareholders a return of 30.16%.  The 
Management, LLC           Portfolio's return exceeded the full year 
                          return on the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite 
                          Price Index.* 

                          Q. Why Did The Portfolio Perform This Way?

                          The Portfolio's investment strategy was well 
                          positioned from a macroeconomic outlook. This 
                          included being invested in some of the better 
                          performing sectors, industries and individual 
                          stocks.

                          The Portfolio continues to target high-quality, 
                          large capitalization companies that have global 
                          franchises, are experiencing positive change, 
                          are led by strong management, and have superior 
                          earnings growth potential.  In terms of sector 
                          and industry exposure, the Portfolio, over the 
                          course of the year, had substantial allocations 
                          in technology, pharmaceuticals and financial 
                          services.  It also had significant positions in 
                          automotive, cable TV and retail.

                          During the year, a number of individual 
                          holdings contributed positively to results.  
                          Some of the standout performers included: Cisco 
                          Systems Inc., Dell Computer Corporation, EMC 
                          Corporation, Federal National Mortgage 
                          Association, Ford Motor Company, International 
                          Business Machines Corp-oration, Lucent 
                          Technologies Inc., Microsoft Corporation and 
                          Pfizer Inc. ** 


                          Q. What Is Your Outlook For 1999?

                          We believe that the current bull market is 
                          likely to last not just another three, six, 
                          nine, or 12 months, but that it could last 
                          several years.  The difference between 
                          inflation and interest rates is historically 
                          high, so the Federal Reserve Board should 
                          continue easing rates, which is good for 
                          stocks. We're also expecting business in Asia 
                          to show improvement in the next year.  The 
                          global economy is particularly important for 
                          the stocks we buy, as they tend to do a lot of 
                          business overseas and they benefit from growth 
                          in world trade.

                          *The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock 
                          Price Index is a market-capitalization weighted 
                          index that measures the value of 400 industrial 
                          stocks, 60 transportation and utility company 
                          stocks and 40 financial issues. It is unmanaged 
                          and unavailable for investment.

                          **Portfolio holdings are subject to change and 
                          may not be representative of current holdings.

                          The outlook for the Portfolio may differ from 
                          that presented for other Nations Funds 
                          portfolios.

 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1998
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    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 is 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 investments in shares of the Hartford, Nations,
       and AIM V.I. mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per
       share as determined by the appropriate Fund as of December 31, 1998.
 
   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. These expenses
       are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the
       accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

statements are the responsibility of the Account's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of December 31,
1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets
for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

    Each Fund, with the exception of Hartford Mortgage Securities HLS, Hartford
    Index HLS, Hartford International Advisers HLS and Hartford MidCap HLS Funds
    are divided into Class IA and IB shares. Each class is offered at net asset
    value without a sales charge and is subject to the same expenses except that
    the Class IB shares are subject to distribution fees charged pusuant to a
    Rule 12b-1 plan. Distribution and Service Plans have been adopted in
    accordance with rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
    amended.
 
 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds,
    which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
    investment company industry:
 
    a)  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions are recorded on the trade
date (the day the order to buy or sell is executed). Security gains and losses
      are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
    b)  SECURITY VALUATION--Debt securities (other than short-term obligations
are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an unaffiliated pricing
      service which determines valuations for normal institutional size trading
      units of debt securities. Mortgage securities are valued at the bid price.
      Short-term securities held in Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, Inc. are
      valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest
      receivable, both of which approximate market value. In the remaining
      Funds, short-term investments purchased with a maturity of 60 days or less
      are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term
      investments purchased with a maturity of more than 60 days are valued
      based on market quotations until the remaining days to maturity become
      less than 61 days. From such time until maturity, the investments are
      valued at amortized cost.
 
      Equity securities are valued at the last sales price reported on principal
      securities exchanges on which such securities are traded (domestic or
      foreign) or on the principal over-the-counter market on which such
      securities are traded as of the close of business on the day the
      securities are being valued. If no sale occurred on a particular day and
      in the case of certain equity securities traded over-the-counter, then
      such securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices.
      Securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars
      at the prevailing exchange rates at the end of each business day. Options
      are valued at the last sales price; if no sale took place on such day,
      then options are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices.
      Securities for which market quotations are not readily available and all
      other assets are valued in good faith at their fair values under the
      direction of, the Funds' Board of Directors.
 
    c)  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS--The accounting records of the Funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in
      foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing
      exchange rates.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 DECEMBER 31, 1998
      Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income
      and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on
      the respective dates of such transactions.
 
      The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations
      resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from
      the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities
      held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized
      gain or loss on investments in the accompanying financial statements.
 
      Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign
      currencies and the difference between asset and liability amounts
      initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the
      amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains
      or losses arise from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities
      at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange
      rates.
 
    d)  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which
the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security sold at a mutually
      agreed upon time and price. At the time the Funds enter into a repurchase
      agreement, the value of the underlying collateral security(ies), including
      accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase
      agreement and, in the case of repurchase agreements exceeding one day, the
      value of the underlying security(ies), including accrued interest, is
      required during the term of the agreement to be equal to or exceed the
      value of the repurchase agreement. Securities which serve to collateralize
      the repurchase agreement are held by each Fund's custodian in book entry
      or physical form in the custodial account of the Fund. Repurchase
      agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest receivable.
 
    e)  JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT--Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC,
the Funds may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account
      managed by The Hartford Investment Management Company (HIMCO) or
      Wellington Management Company, LLP (Wellington). These balances may be
      invested in one or more repurchase agreements and/or short-term money
      market instruments.
 
    f)  FUTURES, OPTIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS--The Funds enter
into futures contracts to retain their cash balance and yet be exposed to the
      market, thereby providing the liquidity necessary to accommodate
      redemptions while at the same time providing shareholders with the
      investment return of a fully invested portfolio. A futures contract is an
      agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on
      a future date. When the Funds enter into such contracts, they are required
      to deposit with their custodian an amount of "initial margin" of cash or
      U.S. Treasury bills. Subsequent payments, called maintenance margin, to
      and from the broker-dealer, are made on a daily basis as the price of the
      underlying debt security fluctuates, making the long and short positions
      in the futures contract more or less valuable (i.e., mark-to-market),
      which results in an unrealized gain or loss to the Funds. The market value
      of a traded futures contract is the last sale price. In the absence of a
      last sale price, the last offering price is used. In the absence of either
      of these prices, fair value is determined according to procedures
      established by the Funds' Board of Directors. The variation margin on
      futures contracts is included in excess of cash, receivables and other
      assets over liabilities, or excess of liabilities over cash, receivables
      and other assets, as applicable, in each Funds' Statement of Net Assets.
 
      At any time prior to the expiration of the futures contract, the Funds may
      close the position by taking an opposite position which would operate to
      terminate the position in the futures contract. A final determination of
      maintenance margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by
      or released to the Funds and the Funds realize a gain or loss.
 
      The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is
      included in the Fund's Statement of Net Assets as excess of cash,
      receivables and other assets over liabilities or excess of liabilities
      over cash, receivables and other assets and subsequently
      "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option
      purchased as of the end of the reporting period. If an option which the
      Fund has purchased expires on its stipulated expiration date, the Fund
      realizes a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Fund
      enters into a closing transaction, it realizes a gain or loss, depending
      on whether the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of
      the option. If the Fund exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss
      from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale
      will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Fund exercises a
      call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon
      exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid to buy the call.
 
                                     MF-58
<PAGE>
      The funds may write covered options. "Covered" means that so long as the
      Fund is obligated as the writer of an option, it will own either the
      underlying securities or currency or an option to purchase or sell the
      same underlying securities or currency having an expiration date of the
      covered option at an exercise price equal to or less than the exercise
      price of the covered option, or will establish or maintain with its
      custodian for the term of the option a "segregated account" consisting of
      cash or other liquid securities having a value equal to the fluctuating
      market value of the option securities or currencies. The Fund receives a
      premium from writing a call or put option, which increases the Fund's
      return if the option expires unexercised or is closed out at a net profit.
      The Funds' option activity was as follows during 1998:

</TABLE>
 
    g)  FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS--As of December 31, 1998, Hartford
International Opportunities HLS Fund, Inc. and Hartford International Advisers
      HLS Fund, Inc., had entered into forward foreign currency exchange
      contracts that obligate the Funds to repurchase/replace or sell currencies
      at specified future dates. The Funds enter into forward foreign currency
      contracts to hedge against adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between
      currencies. The forward foreign currency contracts' costs are included in
      excess of cash, receivables and other assets over liabilities or excess of
      liabilities over cash, receivables and other assets, as applicable, in the
      Funds' Statement of Net Assets.
 
      Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in
      excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Net Assets. In
      addition, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the
      potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the
      contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign
      currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
    h)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--For federal income tax purposes, the Funds intend
to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of
      the Internal Revenue Code by distributing substantially all of their
      taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to their
      shareholders or otherwise complying with the requirements of regulated
      investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes
      has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
 
     i)  FUND SHARE VALUATION AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Orders for the
Funds' shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the
      contract holders. Dividend income is accrued as of the ex-dividend date,
      except that certain dividends for foreign securities where the ex-dividend
      date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
      ex-dividend data in the exercise of due diligence. Interest income and
      expenses are accrued on a daily basis. The net asset value of each Fund's
      shares is determined as of the close of each business day

      of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange). Orders for the purchase of
      a Fund's shares received prior to the close of the Exchange on any day on
      which the Fund is open for business are priced at the per-share net asset
      value determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received after
      the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the
      Fund is not open for business, are priced at the next determined per-share
      net asset value.
 
      Dividends are declared by the Funds' Board of Directors based upon the
      investment performance of the respective Funds. The policy of all funds
      except the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, Inc. is to pay dividends from
      net investment income and distribute realized capital gains, if any,
      annually.
 
      Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, Inc. seeks to maintain a stable net asset
      value per share of $1.00 by declaring a daily dividend from net investment
      income, including net short-term capital gains and losses, and by valuing
      its investments using the amortized cost method. Dividends are distributed
      monthly.
 
      Distributions from net investment income, realized capital gains and
      capital are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations
      which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These
      differences include the treatment of non-taxable dividends, expiring
      capital loss carryforwards, foreign currency gains and losses,
      partnerships, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax
      regulations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to
      shareholder distributions result in reclassifications to capital accounts
      (see Note 7).
 
     j)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported
      amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the
      future could vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates.
 
    k)  RESTRICTED SECURITIES--Each Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its
net assets in illiquid securities, except for Money Market HLS Fund, Inc., which
      may invest up to 10% in such securities. "Illiquid Securities" are those
      that may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business, at
      approximately the price used to determine a Fund's net asset value per
      share. Each Fund may also purchase certain restricted securities, commonly
      known as Rule 144A securities, that can be resold to institutions and
      which may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines
      established by the Funds' Board of Directors.
 
      At December 31, 1998, the Funds held the following restricted securities
      (excluding 144A issues):

      furnish reports to the Funds' Board of Directors concerning economic
      forecasts, investment strategy, portfolio activity and performance of the
      Funds.
 
    b)  ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT--Under the Administrative Services
Agreement between Hartford Life Insurance Company (HL and each of the Funds, HL
      provides administrative services to the Funds and receives monthly
      compensation at the annual rate of .175% of each Fund's average daily net
      assets. The Funds assume and pay certain other expenses (including, but
      not limited to, shareholder accounting, state taxes and directors' fees).
      Directors' fees represent remuneration paid or accrued to directors not
      affiliated with HL or any other related company.
 
    c)  OPERATING EXPENSES--Allocable expenses of the Funds are charged to each
Fund based on the ratio of the net assets of each fund to the combined net
      assets of the Funds. Nonallocable expenses are charged to each fund based
      on specific identification.
 
    d)  EXPENSE OFFSET--The Funds have entered into certain expense offset
arrangements with the Custodian Bank. The amount of the Funds' expense
      reductions is shown on the accompanying statements of operations as
      Custodian expense offset.
 
    e)  DISTRIBUTION PLAN FOR CLASS IB SHARES--Each Fund has adopted a
Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Class IB
      shares. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, each Fund compensates the
      Distributor from assets attributable to the Class IB shares for services
      rendered and expenses borne in connection with activities primarily
      intended to result in the sale of the Class IB shares.
 
      Although the Distribution Plan provides that each Fund may pay annually up
      to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to its
      Class IB shares for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of
      Class IB shares, the Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive .07% of
      the fee. This waiver may be withdrawn at any time after notice to
      shareholders. Under the terms of the Distribution Plan and the principal
      underwriting agreement, each Fund is authorized to make payments monthly
      to the Distributor which may be used to pay or reimburse entities
      providing distribution and shareholder servicing with respect to the Class
      IB shares for such entities' fees or expenses incurred or paid in that
      regard.

 7.  RECLASSIFICATION OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS:
 
    In accordance with AICPA statement of position 93-2, DETERMINATION,
    DISCLOSURE, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION OF INCOME, CAPITAL GAIN,
    AND RETURN OF CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS BY INVESTMENT COMPANIES, the Funds have
    recorded several reclassifications in their capital accounts. These
    reclassifications had no impact on the net asset value per shares of the
    Funds and are designed generally to present undistributed income and
    realized gains on a tax basis which is considered to be more informative to
    the shareholder. The reclassifications are a result of temporary and
    permanent differences between GAAP and tax accounting as a result of losses
    on wash sale transactions, paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed
    securities, foreign currency gains and losses, post October loss deferrals
    and realized and unrealized gains and losses on passive foreign investment
    companies. Therefore, the source of the Funds' distributions may be shown in
    the accompanying statement of changes in net assets as from, or in excess of
    net investment income, from, or in excess of net

 11. EUROPEAN MONETARY UNION:
 
    On January 1, 1999, the European Monetary Union "EMU" introduced a new
    single currency, the euro, which will replace the national currencies of the
    participating members countries. Until 2002, the national currencies will
    continue to exist, but exchange rates will be tied to the euro. The
    introduction of the euro is likely to affect all stages of the investment
    process, including trading, foreign exchange and accounting. Because this
    change to a single currency is new, the introduction of the euro may result
    in market volatility and may affect the business or financial conditions of
    European issuers or of a Portfolio investing in European issuers. In
    addition, while the conversion will eliminate currency risk among the
    participating nations, currency risk between the euro and the U.S. dollar
    remains a factor.
 
 12. LINE OF CREDIT:
 
    The Funds participate in a $500,000,000 committed revolving line of credit
    facility. The facility is to be used for temporary or emergency purposes.
    Under the arrangement, the Funds are required to own securities having a
    market value in excess of 300% of the total bank borrowings. The interest
    rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility
    also requires a fee to be paid based on the amount of the commitment which
    has not been utilized. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Funds
    did not have any borrowings under these facilities.
