This prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase Series
II of Nations Variable Annuity. Please read it carefully.
Nations Variable Annuity is a Contract between you and Hartford Life Insurance
Company where you agree to make at least one payment to us and we agree to make
a series of annuity payments to you at a later date. This annuity is a flexible
premium, tax-deferred, variable annuity offered to both individuals and groups.
It is:
x Flexible, because you may add premium payments at any time.
x Tax-deferred, which means you don't pay taxes until you take money out or
until we start to make annuity payments to you.
x Variable, because the value of your annuity will fluctuate with the
performance of the underlying Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At purchase, you allocate your premium payment, which is any purchase payment
less any Premium Taxes, to "Sub-Accounts". These are subdivisions of our
Separate Account, an account that keeps your annuity assets separate from our
company assets. The Sub-Accounts then purchase shares of mutual funds set up
exclusively for variable annuity or variable life insurance products. These Fund
are not the same mutual funds that you buy through your stockbroker or through a
retail mutual fund. They may have similar investment strategies and the same
portfolio managers as retail mutual funds. This annuity offers you Fund with
investment strategies ranging from conservative to aggressive and you may pick
those funds that meet your investment goals and risk tolerance. The Sub-Accounts
and the Fund are listed below:
- - NATIONS BALANCED ASSETS PORTFOLIO SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of
Nations Balanced Assets Portfolio of Nations Annuity Trust
- - NATIONS DISCIPLINED EQUITY PORTFOLIO SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of
Nations Disciplined Equity Portfolio of Nations Annuity Trust

Accumulation Feature are not segregated from our company assets like the assets
of the Separate Account.

(1) Nations Balanced Assets Portfolio, Nations Disciplined Equity Portfolio,
Nations International Growth Portfolio, Nations Managed Index Portfolio,
Nations Managed SmallCap Index Portfolio, Nations Value Portfolio, Nations
Marsico Growth & Income Portfolio and Nations Marsico Focused Equities
Portfolio, distributed by Stephens Inc., are subject to fees of up to 0.250%
pursuant to a shareholder servicing and distribution plan. The shareholder
servicing and distribution plan provides that the Portfolios may pay banks,
brokers/dealers, insurance companies or other financial institutions that
have entered into sales support agreements with Stephens Inc. or a
shareholder servicing agreement with the Portfolios for certain expenses
that are incurred in connection with sales and shareholder support services.
These fees are currently being voluntarily waived for the Nations Balanced
Assets Portfolio, Nations Disciplined Equity Portfolio, Nations
International Growth Portfolio, Nations Value Portfolio, Nations Marsico
Growth & Income Portfolio and Nations Marsico Focused Equities Portfolio.
Absent such waivers, the 12b-1 Distribution and/or Servicing Fees would have
been 0.250%. There is no assurance that these waivers will continue.
(2) The investment adviser and other service providers to these Portfolios have
agreed to waive a portion of their fees and/or reimburse other expenses
until July 31, 2000 in order to maintain total fund operating expenses at
the levels shown. Absent fee waivers, as indicated at (1), and expense
reimbursements, management fees, other expenses and total fund operating
expenses, respectively, of the indicated Portfolio would have been as
follows: Nations Balanced Assets Portfolio: 0.65%, 1.84% and 2.74%; Nations
Disciplined Equity Portfolio: 0.65%, 1.54% and 2.44%; Nations International
Growth Portfolio: 0.80%, 3.06% and 4.11%; Nations Managed Index Portfolio:
0.40%, 1.00% and 1.65%; Nations Managed SmallCap Index Portfolio: 0.40%,
1.08% and 1.73%; Nations Value Portfolio: 0.65%, 1.45% and 2.35%; Nations
Marsico Growth & Income Portfolio: 0.75%, 1.02% and 2.02%; Nations Marsico
Focused Equities Portfolio: 0.75%, 0.97% and 1.97%. There is no assurance
that these waivers and/or reimbursements will continue after this date. The
total fund operating expense ratios above have been restated from the
Portfolios' most recent year end to reflect changes to the management fees
and administration fees effective May, 1999.
(3) Had there been no fee waivers or expense reimbursement, expenses for AIM
V.I. High Yield Fund would have been: Management Fees -- 0.63%; Other
Expenses -- 0.79%; and Total Expenses -- 1.42%.
(4) The Class IB shares of the Funds sponsored by Hartford are subject to fees
imposed under a distribution plan (herein, the "Distribution Plan") adopted
by the Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan
provides that the Funds sponsored by Hartford may pay annually up to 0.250%
of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to its Class IB
shares to certain distributors with respect to activities primarily intended
to result in the sale of the Class IB shares. Hartford has voluntarily and
temporarily waived 0.070% of the average daily net assets of the Funds.
Absent such waiver, the 12b-1 Distribution and/or

SUMMARY
HOW DO I PURCHASE THIS ANNUITY?
You must complete our application or order request and submit it to us for
approval with your first premium payment. Your first premium payment must be at
least $1,000 and subsequent premium payments must be at least $500. The minimum
premium payment requirements may differ if you are participating in our
automatic investing ("InvestEase-Registered Trademark-") program.
- For a limited time, usually within ten days after you receive your annuity,
you may cancel your annuity without paying a Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge. You bear the investment risk for your premium payment prior to our
receipt of your request for cancellation.
WHAT TYPE OF SALES CHARGE WILL I PAY?
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ("CDSC")
The CDSC covers expenses relating to the sale and distribution of the Contracts,
including commissions paid to distributing organizations and the cost of
preparing sales literature and other promotional activities.
We assess a CDSC when you request a full or partial Surrender. The percentage of
the CDSC is based on how long each premium payment has been in the Contract.
Each premium payment has its own CDSC schedule. Premium payments are Surrendered
in the order that they were received. The longer you leave your premium payment
in the Contract, the lower the CDSC will be when you Surrender.
The CDSC is a percentage of the amount Surrendered (not to exceed the total
amount of the premium payments made) and equals:

</TABLE>
IS THERE AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE?
Yes. We deduct this $30 fee each year on your Contract Anniversary or when you
completely Surrender your annuity, if, on either of those dates, the value of
your annuity is less than $50,000.
WHAT CHARGES WILL I PAY ON AN ANNUAL BASIS?
In addition to the Annual Maintenance Fee, you pay two different types of
charges each year. The first type of charge is the fee you pay for insurance.
This charge is:
A mortality and expense risk charge that is subtracted daily and is equal to an
annual charge of 1.25% of your Contract Value invested in the Funds.
The second type of charge is the fee you pay for the Funds.
Currently, fund charges range from 0.628% to 1.250% of the average daily value
of the amount you have invested in the fund. See the Annual Operation Expense
Table for more complete information and the funds' prospectuses attached to this
prospectus.
If an Optional Death Benefit is elected an additional charge is deducted daily
from your Contract Value and is equal to 0.15% per year of your Contract Value
invested in the Funds.
CAN I TAKE OUT ANY OF MY MONEY?
You can partially or fully Surrender your Contract subject to a Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC). You can partially Surrender your Contract without
any CDSC applied to the Surrender under the following conditions:
- - Surrenders which don't exceed 15% of premium payments per Contract Year
(Annual Withdrawal Amount);
- - Surrenders made from premium payments invested more than seven years;
- - 100% Surrender of earnings after the seventh Contract Year;
- - Surrenders under the nursing home waiver (described as Eligible Confinement in
the Contract); or
- - Surrenders eligible for disability waiver under a group qualified plan.
WILL HARTFORD PAY A DEATH BENEFIT?
Your Contract has a Death Benefit and we offer an Optional Interest Accumulation
Death Benefit ("Optional Death Benefit") that you can elect for an additional
fee. There is a Death Benefit if the Contract Owner, joint owner or Annuitant,
die before we begin to make annuity payments. The Death Benefit will remain
invested in the Sub-Accounts according to your last instructions (unless
otherwise mutually specified by your Beneficiaries) and will be subject to
market fluctuations.
IF YOU DO NOT ELECT THE OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT, the Death Benefit, which we will
calculate as of the date we receive Due Proof of Death, will be the greater of:
- - 100% of the total premium payments you have made to us reduced by any
subsequent Surrenders;
- - The Contract Value of your annuity, or
- - Your Maximum Anniversary Value, which is described below.
<PAGE>
12 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Maximum Anniversary Value is based on a series of calculations on Contract
Anniversaries, of Contract Values, premium payments and partial Surrenders. We
will calculate an Anniversary Value for each Contract Anniversary prior to the
deceased's 81st birthday or date of death. The Anniversary Value is equal to the
Contract Value as of a Contract Anniversary, increased by the dollar amount of
any premium payments made since that anniversary and reduced by the dollar
amount of any partial Surrenders since that anniversary. The Maximum Anniversary
Value is equal to the greatest Anniversary Value attained from this series of
calculations.
IF YOU ELECT THE OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT, the Death Benefit, which we will
calculate as of the date we receive Due Proof of Death, will be the greater of:
- - 100% of the total premium payments you have made to us reduced by any
subsequent Surrenders;
- - The Contract Value of your annuity;
- - Your Maximum Anniversary Value, which is the highest Anniversary Value before
the deceased's 81st birthday or date of death; or
- - Your Interest Accumulation Value.
The INTEREST ACCUMULATION VALUE is calculated by accumulating interest on your
premium payments at a rate of 5% per year up to the deceased's 81st birthday or
date of death, assuming you have not taken any Surrenders. If you have taken any
Surrenders, the 5% will be accumulated on your premium payments, but there will
be an adjustment for any of the Surrenders. This adjustment will reduce the
Optional Death Benefit proportionally for the Surrenders. The Optional Death
Benefit is limited to a maximum of 200% of premium payments, less proportional
adjustments for any Surrenders. For examples on how the Optional Death Benefit
is calculated see "Appendix II". If you elect the Optional Death Benefit, we
will deduct an additional charge daily from your Contract Value equal to .15% of
the Sub-Account value.
SPOUSAL CONTRACT CONTINUATION -- If the Beneficiary is the Contract Owner's
spouse, the Contract will continue with the spouse as Contract Owner, unless the
spouse elects to receive the Death Benefit as a lump sum payment. If the
Contract continues with the spouse as Contract Owner, we will adjust the
Contract Value to the amount that we would have paid as the Death Benefit
payment, had the spouse elected to receive the Death Benefit as a lump sum
payment or as an annuity payment option. This provision will only apply one time
for each Contract.
WHAT ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?
When you purchase your annuity, you may choose one of the following annuity
payment options, or receive a lump sum payment:
LIFE ANNUITY where we make scheduled payments for the Annuitant's life.
- Payments under this option stop upon the death of the Annuitant, even if the
Annuitant dies after one payment.
LIFE ANNUITY WITH CASH REFUND where we make payments during the life of the
Annuitant and when the Annuitant dies, we pay the remaining value to the
Beneficiary. The remaining value is calculated at the time we receive Due Proof
of Death by subtracting the annuity payments already made from the Contract
Value, less any applicable Premium Taxes, applied to this annuity payment
option.
- This option is only available if you select a variable dollar amount payment
with the 5% AIR or fixed dollar amount annuity payments.
LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN where we make payments for the
life of the Annuitant but you are at least guaranteed payments for a time period
you select which is a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 100 years minus your
annuitant's age.
- If the Annuitant dies prior to the end of the period selected, we will pay
the value of the remaining payments to your Beneficiary, either in a lump
sum or we will continue payments until the end of the period selected.
JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY where we make payments during the lifetimes of
the Annuitant and another designated individual called the Joint Annuitant. At
the time of electing this annuity payment option, the Contract Owner may elect
reduced payments over the remaining lifetime of the survivor.
- Payments under this option stop upon the death of the Annuitant and Joint
Annuitant, even if the Annuitant and Joint Annuitant die after one payment.
JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN where we
make payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and a Joint Annuitant, and we
guarantee that those payments for a time period you select which is a minimum of
5 years and a maximum 100 years minus the younger Annuitant's age. At the time
of electing this Annuity Option, the Contract Owner may elect reduced payments
over the remaining lifetime of the survivor.
- If the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant die prior to the end of the period
selected, we will pay the value of the remaining payments to your
Beneficiary, either in a lump sum or we will continue payments until the end
of the period selected.
PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN where we agree to make payments for a specified
time. The minimum period that you can select is 10 years during the first two
Contract Years and 5 years after the second Contract Anniversary. The maximum
period that you can select is 100 years minus your Annuitant's age.
- If you select this option under a variable dollar amount payment, you may
Surrender your Annuity after annuity payments have started and we will give
you the present
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
value of the remaining payments less any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge.
- If the Annuitant dies prior to the end of the period selected, we will pay
the value of the remaining payments to your Beneficiary, either in a lump
sum or we will continue payments until the end of the period selected.
You must begin to take payments before the Annuitant's 90th birthday or the end
of the 10th Contract Year, which ever comes later, unless you elect a later date
to begin receiving payments subject to the laws and regulations then in effect
and our approval. If you do not tell us what annuity payment option you want
before that time, we will pay you under the Life Annuity with a 10 year period
certain. You and Hartford can agree to start payments at a later date if the
laws in effect allow us to defer payment and we agree to allow you to defer. The
Annuity Commencement Date in New York may be different. Please consult your
Registered Representative or call us.

MIXED AND SHARED FUNDING -- Shares of the Funds are sold to our other Separate
Accounts and our insurance company affiliates or other unaffiliated insurance
companies to serve as the underlying investment for both variable annuity
contracts and variable life insurance contracts, a practice known as "mixed and
shared funding." As a result, there is a possibility that a material conflict
may arise between the interests of Contract Owners, and of owners of other
contracts whose contract values are allocated to one or more of these other
Separate Accounts investing in any one of the Funds. In the event of any such
material conflicts, we will consider what action may be appropriate, including
removing the Fund from the Separate Account or replacing the Fund with another
Fund. There are certain risks associated with mixed and shared funding, as
disclosed in the funds' prospectus.
VOTING RIGHTS -- We are the legal owners of all Fund shares held in the Separate
Account and we have the right to vote at the Fund's shareholder meetings. To the
extent required by federal securities laws or regulations, we will:
- - Notify you of any Fund shareholders' meeting if the shares held for your
Contract may be voted.
- - Send proxy materials and a form of instructions that you can use to tell us
how to vote the Fund shares held for your Contract.
- - Arrange for the handling and tallying of proxies received from Contract
Owners.
- - Vote all Fund shares attributable to your Contract according to instructions
received from you, and
- - Vote all Fund shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same
proportion as shares for which instructions have been received.
If any federal securities laws or regulations, or their present interpretation,
change to permit us to vote Fund shares on our own, we may decide to do so. You
may attend any Shareholder Meeting at which shares held for your Contract may be
voted. After we begin to make Annuity Payments to you, the number of votes you
have will decrease.
SUBSTITUTIONS, ADDITIONS, OR DELETIONS OF FUNDS -- We reserve the right, subject
to any applicable law, to make certain changes to the Funds offered under your
Contract. We may, in our sole discretion, establish new Funds. New Funds will be
will be made available to existing Contract Owners as we determined appropriate.
We may also close one or more Funds to additional payments or transfers from
existing Sub-Accounts.
We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any of the Funds for any reason
and to substitute shares of another registered investment company for the shares
of any Fund already purchased or to be purchased in the future by the Separate
Account. To the extent required by the 1940 Act, substitutions of shares
attributable to your interest in a Fund will not be made until we have the
approval of the Commission and we have notified you of the change.
In the event of any substitution or change, we may, by appropriate endorsement,
make such changes in the Contract as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect
such substitution or change. If we decide that it is in the best interest of the
Contracts Owners, the Separate Account may be operated as a management company
under the 1940 Act or any other form permitted by law, may be de-registered
under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required, or may
be combined with one or more other Separate Accounts.
PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Separate Account may advertise certain performance-related information
concerning the 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.
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 and assumes that the Optional Death Benefit
has not been elected.
The Separate Account may also advertise NON-STANDARD TOTAL RETURNS THAT PRE-DATE
THE INCEPTION DATE OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. These non-standardized total returns
are calculated by assuming that the Sub-Accounts have been in existence for the
same periods as the underlying Funds and by taking deductions for charges equal
to those currently assessed against the Sub-Accounts. These non-standardized
returns must be accompanied by standardized total returns.
If applicable, the 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, divided by the unit value on
the last
<PAGE>
16 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
day of the period. This figure reflects the recurring charges at the Separate
Account level including the Annual Maintenance Fee.
The Money Market Fund Sub-Account 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 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 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. No yield disclosure for periods
prior to the date of the Separate Account will be used without the yield
disclosure for periods as of the date of the inception of the Separate Account.
We 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-deferred
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.
THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW: THIS PORTION OF THE CONTRACT RELATING TO
THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURES IS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 ("1933 ACT") AND THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURES ARE NOT REGISTERED AS
INVESTMENT COMPANIES UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 ("1940 ACT"). NONE
OF THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURES OR ANY OF THEIR INTERESTS ARE SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF THE 1933 ACT OR THE 1940 ACT, AND THE STAFF OF THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS NOT REVIEWED THE DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE
FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURES. THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE FIXED
ACCUMULATION FEATURES MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS
OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS REGARDING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF
DISCLOSURE.
Payments and Contract Values allocated to a Fixed Accumulation Feature become a
part of our general assets. We invest the assets of the General Account in
accordance with applicable law governing the investments of insurance company
General Accounts. We have more than one Fixed Accumulation Feature. The standard
Fixed Accumulation Feature (the "Fixed Accumulation Feature") and then a number
of DCA Program Fixed Accumulation Features, which we collectively refer to as
the "Fixed Accumulation Features".
Currently, we guarantee that we will credit interest at a rate of not less than
3% per year, compounded annually, to amounts you allocate to the Fixed
Accumulation Feature. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to credit
interest at a rate in excess of 3% per year. You assume the risk that interest
credited to the Fixed Accumulation Feature may not exceed the minimum guarantee
of 3% for any given year.
We will periodically publish the Fixed Accumulation Feature interest rates
currently in effect. There is no specific formula for the determination of
interest rates. Some of the factors that we may consider in determining whether
to credit excess interest are: general economic trends, rates of return
currently available and anticipated on our investments, regulatory and tax
requirements and competitive factors. We will account for any deductions,
Surrenders or transfers from the Fixed Accumulation Feature on a "first-in",
"first-out" basis. For Contracts issued in the State of New York, Fixed
Accumulation Feature interest rates may vary from other states.
From time to time, we may credit increased interest rates to Contract Owners
under certain programs established at our sole discretion.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PLUS ("DCA PLUS") PROGRAMS -- These programs will use
designated DCA Program Fixed Accumulation Features. Currently, Contract Owners
may enroll in a special pre-authorized transfer program known as our Dollar Cost
Averaging Plus Program (the "Program"). Under this Program, Contract Owners who
enroll may allocate a minimum of $5,000 of their payment into the appropriate
DCA Program Fixed Accumulation Feature (we may allow a lower minimum premium
payment for qualified plan transfers or rollovers, including IRAs) and
pre-authorize transfers to any of the Sub-Accounts under either the 6-Month
Transfer Program or 12-Month Transfer Program. The 6-Month Transfer Program and
the 12-Month Transfer Program will generally have different credited interest
rates. Under the 6-Month Transfer Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 6
months and all payments and accrued interest must be transferred from the DCA
Program Fixed Accumulation Feature in use to the selected Sub-Accounts in 3 to 6
months. Under the 12-Month Transfer Program, the interest rate can accrue up to
12 months and all payments and
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
accrued interest must be transferred to the selected Sub-Accounts in 7 to 12
months. This will be accomplished by monthly transfers for the period selected
and a final transfer of the entire amount remaining in the Program, which will
generally be less than the prior monthly transfer amounts. Contract Owners who
purchase their Contracts in New York have a different DCA Plus Program, which
includes different credited interest rates. Currently, only one DCA Plus Program
transfer period is available in New York, but that period allows transfers to
selected Sub-Accounts in 3 to 12 months.
The pre-authorized transfers will begin within 15 days after we receive the
initial Program payment and complete enrollment instructions. If We do not
receive complete Program enrollment instructions within 15 days of receipt of
the initial Program payment, the Program will be voided and the entire balance
in the Program will be transferred to the Accounts designated by you. If you do
not designate an Account, we will transfer any remaining amounts to the Fixed
Accumulation Feature and you will receive the Fixed Accumulation Feature's
current effective interest rate. Any subsequent payments we receive within the
Program period selected will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts over the remainder
of that Program transfer period, unless otherwise directed by You.
You may only have one dollar cost averaging program in place at one time, this
means one standard dollar cost averaging plan or one Dollar Cost Averaging Plus
Program.
You may elect to terminate the pre-authorized transfers by calling or writing us
of your intent to cancel enrollment in the Program. Upon cancellation of
enrollment in the Program, you will no longer receive the increased interest
rate and unless we receive instructions to the contrary, the amounts remaining
in the DCA Program Fixed Accumulation Feature may be transferred to the Fixed
Accumulation Feature and accrue the interest rate currently in effect.
We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or amend the Program or any other
interest rate program established by Hartford. Any change to the Program will
not affect Contract Owners currently enrolled in the Program. This Program may
not be available in all states; please contact us to determine if it is
available in your state.
Transfers made under a Dollar Cost Averaging Program do not count towards the
twelve transfers each Contract Year that we allow without charge and are not
subject to our rule that prohibits any two transfers from occurring on
Consecutive Valuation Days.
THE CONTRACT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CONTRACT OFFERED -- The Contracts are individual or group tax-deferred
variable annuity contracts. They are designed for retirement planning purposes
and may be purchased by any individual, group or trust, including; (a) any
trustee or custodian for a retirement plan qualified under Sections 401(a), or
403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (which includes Section 401(k));
(b) annuity purchase plans adopted by public school systems and certain
tax-exempt organizations according to Section 403(b) of the Code;
(c) Individual Retirement Annuities adopted according to Section 408 of the
Code; (d) 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 (e) certain eligible deferred
compensation plans as defined in Section 457 of the Code ("Qualified
Contracts").
PURCHASING A CONTRACT -- A prospective Contract Owner may purchase a Contract by
completing and submitting an application or an order request along with an
initial premium payment to the Administrative Office of the Company. The maximum
age for Annuitant, Owner and Joint Owner on the Contract Issue Date is 85.
Generally, the minimum premium payment is $1,000. The minimum subsequent premium
payment is $500. Certain plans may be allowed to make smaller periodic premium
payments. Unless we give our prior approval, we will not accept a premium
payment in excess of $1,000,000. Each premium payment, which is your premium
payment after the deduction of any applicable Premium Taxes, may be split among
the various Accounts subject to minimum amounts then in effect. We will send you
a confirmation notice upon receipt and acceptance of your premium payment.
RIGHT TO EXAMINE THE CONTRACT -- If you are not satisfied with your purchase,
you may cancel the Contract by returning it within 10 days (or longer in some
states) after you receive it. You must send a written request for cancellation
along with the Contract. We will, without deduction for any CDSC normally
assessed, pay you an amount equal to the Contract Value. YOU BEAR THE INVESTMENT
RISK DURING THE PERIOD PRIOR TO OUR RECEIPT OF YOUR REQUEST FOR CANCELLATION. We
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.
CREDITING AND VALUATION -- Your premium payment, which is the balance remaining
after the deduction of any Premium Tax, is credited to your Contract within two
business days of receipt by us at our Administrative Office of a properly
completed application or an order to purchase a Contract and the premium
payment. The payment will be credited to the Accounts according to the
instructions we receive from you.
If your application or other information is incomplete when received, your
payment will be credited to the Accounts within five business days of receipt of
complete information. If the payment is not credited within five business days,
it will be immediately returned to you unless you have been informed of the
delay and tell us not to return it.
<PAGE>
18 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsequent premium payments are priced on the Valuation Day we receive the
payment in our Administrative Office, provided it is received before the New
York Stock Exchange closes. Unless otherwise specified, We will allocate any
subsequent payments to Accounts according to your most recent instructions.
CONTRACT VALUE -- BEFORE THE ANNUITY
COMMENCEMENT DATE
Your Contract Value reflects interest rate credited any amounts allocated to the
Fixed Accumulation Features and the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts
where you have payments allocated.
SUB-ACCOUNT VALUES -- Your Sub-Account Values on the date we issue your Contract
is the amount of your premium payment allocated to any Sub-Account. After that,
we determine your Sub-Account value by determining the Accumulation Unit value
for each Sub-Account, and then multiplying that value by the number of those
units. Sub-Account Value reflects any variation of the interest income,
dividends, net capital gains or losses, realized or unrealized, and any amounts
transferred into or out of that Sub-Account.
ACCUMULATION UNITS -- When Premium Payments are credited to your Sub-Accounts,
they are converted into accumulation Units by dividing the amount of your
Premium Payments, minus any Premium Taxes, by the Accumulation Unit Value for
that day. The more Premium Payments you put into your Contract, the more
Accumulation Units you will own. You decrease the number of Accumulation Units
you have by requesting Surrenders, transferring money out of an Account,
settling a Death Benefit claim or by annuitizing your Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE -- The Accumulation Unit value for each Sub-Account was
arbitrarily set initially at $1 when the Sub-Account began operations. After
that, the Accumulation Unit value for each Sub-Account will equal (a) the
Accumulation Unit value at the end of the preceding Valuation Day multiplied by
(b) the Net Investment Factor (see the definition below) for the Valuation Day
for which the Accumulation Unit value is being calculated.
You will be advised, at least semiannually, of the number of Accumulation Units
credited to each Sub-Account, the current Accumulation Unit values, and the
total value of your Contract.
THE NET INVESTMENT FACTOR (BEFORE AND AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT
DATE) -- The Net Investment Factor is an index applied to measure the investment
performance of a Sub-Account from one Valuation Period to the next. For each
Sub-Account, the Net Investment Factor reflects the investment performance of
the Fund in which that Sub-Account invests and the charges assessed against that
Sub-Account for a Valuation Period. The Net Investment Factor is calculated by
dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting (c) from the result, where:
- - Is the Net Asset Value of the Fund held in that Sub-Account, determined at the
end of the current Valuation Period (plus the per share amount of any
dividends or capital gains distributions made by that Fund);
- - Is the Net Asset Value of the Fund held in the Sub-Account, determined at the
beginning of the Valuation Period;
- - Is a daily factor representing the mortality and expense risk charge and any
optional charges deducted from the Sub-Account, adjusted for the number of
days in the Valuation Period.
CONTRACT VALUE TRANSFERS BEFORE AND AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
You may transfer your Contract Values from one or more Accounts to another
Account free of charge. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF TRANSFERS TO
12 PER CONTRACT YEAR, WITH NO 2 TRANSFERS OCCURRING ON CONSECUTIVE VALUATION
DAYS. Transfers by telephone may be made by you or by your attorney-in-fact
pursuant to a power of attorney by calling us at 1-800-862-6668 or by the agent
of record by calling 1-800-862-7155 . Telephone transfers may not be permitted
by some states. There may be limitations on transfers to and from the Fixed
Accumulation Features that are described in your Contract. Some states may allow
us to limit the dollar amount transferred.
We, or our agents and affiliates will not be responsible for losses resulting
from acting upon telephone requests reasonably believed to be genuine. We will
employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by
telephone are genuine. The procedure we follow for transactions initiated by
telephone include requirements that callers provide certain information for
identification purposes. All transfer instructions by telephone are
tape-recorded.
We may permit you to pre-authorize transfers under certain circumstances.
Transfers between the Accounts may be made both before and after the Annuity
Commencement Date. Generally, the minimum allocation to any Sub-Account may not
be less than $500. All percentage (%) allocations must be in whole numbers
(e.g., 1%). No minimum balance is presently required in any Account.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF ALL CONFIRMATIONS OF
TRANSFERS AND TO PROMPTLY ADVISE US IN OUR ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES OF ANY
INACCURACIES WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE YOU RECEIVE YOUR CONFIRMATION.
The right to reallocate Contract Values is subject to modification if we
determine, in our 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
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 by
you at any one time. SUCH RESTRICTIONS MAY BE APPLIED IN ANY MANNER REASONABLY
DESIGNED TO PREVENT ANY USE OF THE TRANSFER RIGHT WHICH WE CONSIDER TO BE TO THE
DISADVANTAGE OF OTHER CONTRACT OWNERS.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 19
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Contracts issued in THE STATES OF NEW YORK, FLORIDA, MARYLAND OR OREGON, 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 you and not from your representative, agent or person
acting under a power of attorney for you.
Currently, we 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 us.
Transfers made under a Dollar Cost Averaging Program do not count towards the
twelve transfers each Contract Year that we allow without charge and are not
subject to our rule that prohibits any two transfers from occurring on
consecutive Valuation Days.
SURRENDERS
Contract Owners should consult their tax adviser regarding the tax consequences
of a Surrender.
- A Surrender made before age 59 1/2 may result in adverse tax consequences,
including a penalty tax of 10% of the taxable portion of the Surrender
Value. (See "Federal Tax Considerations").
PAYMENT OF SURRENDER AMOUNTS -- Payment of any request for a full or partial
Surrender from the Accounts will be made as soon as possible and in any event no
later than seven days after we receive the request at our Administrative Office.
There may be postponement in the payment of Surrender Amounts whenever (a) the
New York Stock Exchange is closed; (b) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted as determined by the Commission; (c) the Commission permits
postponement and so orders; or (d) the Commission determines that an emergency
exists making valuation of the amounts or disposal of securities not reasonably
practicable.
FULL SURRENDERS PRIOR TO THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- At any time prior to
the Annuity Commencement Date, you have the right to fully Surrender the
Contract. In such event, the Surrender Value of the Contract may be taken in the
form of a lump sum cash payment.
The Surrender Value of the Contract is equal to the Contract Value less any
Premium Taxes, the Annual Maintenance Fee and any Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge, if applicable. The Surrender Value may be more or less than the amount
of the payments made to your Contract.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS PRIOR TO THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- You may make a
partial Surrender of your Contract Value at any time prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date so long as the amount Surrendered is at least equal to our
minimum amount rules then in effect. Additionally, if the remaining Contract
Value following a Surrender is less than $500, we may terminate the Contract and
pay the Surrender Value. For Contracts issued in Texas, the Contract will not be
terminated when the remaining Contract Value after a Surrender is less than $500
unless there were no payments made during the previous 2 Contract Years.
WHEN REQUESTING A PARTIAL SURRENDER, YOU SHOULD SPECIFY THE ACCOUNT(S) FROM
WHICH THE PARTIAL SURRENDER WILL BE TAKEN; OTHERWISE, THE SURRENDER WILL BE
TAKEN ON A PRO RATA BASIS ACCORDING TO THE VALUE IN EACH ACTIVE ACCOUNT.
We may permit you to pre-authorize partial Surrenders subject to certain
limitations then in effect. We permit partial Surrenders by telephone subject to
dollar amount limitations in effect at the time you request the Surrender. To
request partial Surrenders by telephone, you must have completed and returned to
us a Telephone Redemption Program Enrollment Form authorizing telephone
Surrenders. If there are joint Contract Owners, both must authorize us to accept
telephone instructions and agree that We may accept telephone instructions for
partial Surrenders from either Contract Owner. Partial Surrender requests will
not be honored until we receive all required documents in proper form.
Telephone authorization will remain valid until (a) we receive written notice of
revocation by you, or, in the case of joint Contract Owners, written notice from
either Contract Owner; (b) we discontinue the privilege; or (c) we have reason
to believe that you have entered into a market timing agreement with an
investment adviser and/or broker/dealer.
We may record any telephone calls to verify data concerning transactions and may
adopt other procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine. We
will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of telephone instructions
reasonably believed to be genuine.
In order to obtain that day's unit values on Surrender, We must receive
telephone Surrender instructions prior to the close of trading on the New York
Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m.).
We may modify, suspend, or terminate telephone transaction privileges at any
time.
SURRENDERS AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- You may fully Surrender your
Contract on or after the Annuity Commencement Date if you elect the Payment For
a Period Certain Settlement Option. We pay you the commuted value that is equal
to the present value of the remaining payments we are scheduled to make less any
applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. The commuted value is determined as
of the date we receive your written request for Surrender at our Administrative
Office.
Partial Surrenders are permitted after the Annuity Commencement Date if you
elect the Payments for a Period Certain Settlement Option, but check with your
tax adviser because there may be adverse tax consequences.
IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION -- There are certain restrictions on section 403(b)
tax-sheltered annuities. As of December 31,
<PAGE>
20 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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) separated from service, c) died,
d) become disabled or e) experienced financial hardship (cash value increases
may not be distributed for hardships prior to age 59 1/2). Distributions prior
to age 59 1/2 due to financial hardship or separation from service may still be
subject to a penalty tax of 10%. We will not assume any responsibility for
determining whether a surrender is permissible, with or without tax penalty, in
any particular situation; or in monitoring Surrender requests regarding pre or
post January 1, 1989 Contract Values. Any 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 a tax adviser before undertaking any such
Surrender. (See "Federal Tax Considerations").
CONTRACT CHARGES
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ("CDSC")
The CDSC covers expenses relating to the sale and distribution of the Contracts,
including commissions paid to distributing organizations and the cost of
preparing sales literature and other promotional activities.
We assess a CDSC when you request a full or partial Surrender. The percentage of
the CDSC is based on how long each premium payment has been in the Contract.
Each premium payment has its own CDSC schedule. Premium payments are Surrendered
in the order that they were received. The longer you leave your premium payment
in the Contract, the lower the CDSC will be when you Surrender.
The CDSC is a percentage of the amount Surrendered (not to exceed the total
amount of the premium payments made) and equals:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
PAYMENTS NOT SUBJECT TO CDSC
ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT -- During the first seven Contract years, you may make
a partial Surrender of Contract Values of up to 15% of the premium payments each
Contract Year on a non-cumulative basis, as determined on the date of the
requested Surrender, without the application of the CDSC. After the seventh
Contract Year, you may make a partial Surrender each Contract Year of 15% of
premium payments made during the seven years prior to the Surrender and 100% of
the Contract Value less the premium payments made during the seven years prior
to the Surrender. These amounts are different for group unallocated Contracts
and Contracts issued to a Charitable Remainder Trust.
EXTENDED SURRENDER PRIVILEGE -- This privilege allows Annuitants who attain age
70 1/2 with a Contract held under an Individual Retirement Account or 403(b)
plan to Surrender an amount equal to the required minimum distribution for the
stated Contract without incurring any CDSC.
WAIVERS OF CDSC
CONFINEMENT IN A NURSING HOME, HOSPITAL OR LONG TERM CARE FACILITY (DESCRIBED AS
ELIGIBLE CONFINEMENT IN THE CONTRACT) -- We will waive any CDSC applicable to a
partial or full Surrender if the Annuitant, Contract Owner or joint annuitant is
confined, at the recommendation of a physician for medically necessary reasons,
for at least 180 calendar days to: a hospital recognized as a general hospital
by the proper authority of the state in which it is located; or a hospital
recognized as a general hospital by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of
Hospitals; or a facility certified as a hospital or long-term care facility; or
a nursing home licensed by the state in which it is located and offers the
services of a registered nurse 24 hours a day.
The Annuitant, Contract Owner or joint annuitant cannot be confined at the time
the Contract is purchased in order to receive this waiver and the Contract
Owner(s) must have been the Contract Owner(s) continuously since the Contract
issue date. You must provide written proof of confinement satisfactory to
Hartford and you must request the partial or full Surrender within 91 calendar
days of the last day of confinement.
This waiver may not be available in all states. Please contact your registered
representative or contact Us to determine availability.
DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT OR CONTRACT OWNER OR PAYMENTS UNDER AN ANNUITY
OPTION -- No CDSC 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 (other than a Surrender of variable payments for a Period Certain
Annuity option) provided for under the Contract.
OTHER PLANS OR PROGRAMS -- Certain plans or programs established by us from time
to time may have different Surrender privileges.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE -- For assuming risks under the Contract, we
deduct a daily charge at the rate of 1.25% per year against all Contract Values
held in the Accounts during the life of the Contract. 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
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 21
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) our actual mortality experience among Annuitants before or after the Annuity
Commencement Date or (b) our actual expenses, if greater than the deductions
provided for in the Contracts because of the expense and mortality undertakings
by us.
There are two types of mortality risks: those made during the accumulation or
deferral phase and those made during the annuity payout phase. The mortality
risk we take in the accumulation phase is that we may experience a loss
resulting from the assumption of the mortality risk relative to the death
benefit in event of the death of an Annuitant or Contract Owner before
commencement of Annuity payments, in periods of declining value. The mortality
risk we take during the annuity payout phase 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. These mortality undertakings are based on our determination of expected
mortality rates among all Annuitants. If actual experience among Annuitants
during the Annuity payment period deviates from our actuarial determination of
expected mortality rates among Annuitants because, as a group, their longevity
is longer than anticipated, we must provide amounts from our general funds to
fulfill our contractual obligations. We will bear the loss in such a situation.
During the accumulation phase, we also provide an expense undertaking. We assume
the risk that 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.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE -- Each year, on each Contract Anniversary on or before
the Annuity Commencement Date, we will deduct an Annual Maintenance Fee, if
applicable, from Contract Values to reimburse us for expenses relating to the
maintenance of the Contract and Accounts. If during a Contract Year the Contract
is Surrendered for its full value, we will deduct the Annual Maintenance Fee at
the time of such Surrender. The fee is a flat fee that 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 $30 per Contract Year for Contracts
with less than $50,000 Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary. Fees will be
deducted on a pro rata basis according to the value in each Account under a
Contract.
WAIVERS OF THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE -- Annual Maintenance Fees are waived for
Contracts with Contract Value equal to or greater than $50,000. In addition, we
will waive one Annual Maintenance Fee for Contract Owners who own one or more
Contracts with a combined Contract Value of $50,000 up to $100,000. If you have
multiple Contracts with a combined Contract Value of $100,000 or greater, we
will waive the Annual Maintenance Fee on all Contracts. However, we reserve the
right to limit the number of Annual Maintenance Fee waivers to a total of six
Contracts. We reserve the right to waive the Annual Maintenance Fee under other
conditions.
PREMIUM TAXES -- Charges are also deducted for Premium Tax, if applicable,
imposed by 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.
We will pay Premium Taxes at the time imposed under applicable law. At our sole
discretion, we may deduct Premium Taxes at the time we pay such taxes to the
applicable taxing authorities, at the time the Contract is Surrendered, at the
time a death benefit is paid, or at the time the Contract annuitizes.
OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT FEE -- If you elect the Optional Death Benefit, we will
deduct daily from your Contract Value an additional charge which equals .15% per
year of the Sub-Account value.
EXCEPTIONS TO CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACT -- We may offer, at our discretion,
reduced fees and charges including, but not limited to, CDSC, the mortality and
expense risk charge, administration charges, optional charges and the Annual
Maintenance Fee for certain sales (including employer sponsored savings plans)
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.
DEATH BENEFITS
DEATH BEFORE THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
DETERMINATION OF THE BENEFICIARY -- If the Contract Owner or the Annuitant dies
before the Annuity Commencement Date, we will pay a Death Benefit to the
Beneficiary.
- IF THE CONTRACT OWNER DIES before the Annuity Commencement Date, any
surviving joint Contract Owner becomes the Beneficiary. If there is no
surviving joint Contract Owner, the designated Beneficiary will be the
Beneficiary. If the Contract Owner's spouse is the sole Beneficiary, the
spouse may elect, in lieu of receiving the Contract Value, to be treated as
the Contract Owner. If the Annuitant is not living and there is no
Contingent Annuitant, the spouse will be presumed to be the Contingent
Annuitant. If no Beneficiary designation is in effect or if the Beneficiary
has predeceased the Contract Owner, the Contract Owner's estate will be the
Beneficiary.
- IF THE ANNUITANT DIES before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contingent
Annuitant will become the Annuitant. If either (a) there is no Contingent
Annuitant, (b) the Contingent Annuitant predeceases the Annuitant, or
(c) if any sole Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date,
the Beneficiary, as determined under the Contract control provisions, will
receive the Death Benefit. However, if the Annuitant dies prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date and the Contract Owner is living, the Contract
Owner shall be the Beneficiary. In that case, the rights of any designated
Beneficiary shall be void.

DETERMINATION OF THE DEATH BENEFIT
IF YOU DID NOT ELECT THE OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT, Your Death Benefit, which we
will calculate as of the date we receive Due Proof of Death, will be calculated
as follows:
If the deceased HAD NOT REACHED THEIR 81ST BIRTHDAY, the Death Benefit is the
greater of:
- - 100% of the total premium payments made to the Contract, reduced by any
subsequent Surrenders, or
- - The Contract Value of your annuity, or
- - Your Maximum Anniversary Value, which is described below.
The Maximum Anniversary Value is based on a series of calculations on Contract
Anniversaries of Contract Values, premium payments and partial Surrenders. We
will calculate an Anniversary Value for each Contract Anniversary prior to the
deceased's 81st birthday or date of death. The Anniversary Value is equal to the
Contract Value as of a Contract Anniversary, increased by the dollar amount of
any premium payments made since that anniversary and reduced by the dollar
amount of any partial Surrenders since that anniversary. The Maximum Anniversary
Value is equal to the greatest Anniversary Value attained from this series of
calculations.
IF THE DECEASED REACHED THEIR 81ST BIRTHDAY, then the Death Benefit is the
greater of:
- - 100% of the total premium payments made to us, reduced by any subsequent
Surrenders, or
- - The Contract Value of your annuity, or
- - The Maximum Anniversary Value.
IF YOU DID ELECT THE OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT, the Death Benefit, which we will
calculate as of the date we receive Due Proof of Death, will be the greater of:
- - 100% of the total premium payments made to us, reduced by any subsequent
Surrenders;
- - The Contract Value of your annuity;
- - The Maximum Anniversary Value; or
- - The Interest Accumulation Value, which is described below.
The Interest Accumulation Value is calculated by accumulating interest on your
premium payments at a rate of 5% per year up to the deceased's 81st birthday or
date of death, assuming you have not taken any Surrenders. If you have taken any
Surrenders, the 5% will be accumulated on your premium payments, but there will
be an adjustment for any of the Surrenders. This adjustment will reduce the
Optional Death Benefit proportionally for the Surrenders. We stop compounding
interest on the deceased's 81st birthday or date of death. After that date, the
Interest Accumulation Value will be adjusted by adding any subsequent payments
and subtracting proportional adjustments for any partial Surrenders. The
Optional Death Benefit is limited to a maximum of 200% of premium payments, less
proportional adjustments for any Surrenders. For examples on how the Optional
Death Benefit is calculated see "Appendix II".
SPOUSAL CONTRACT CONTINUATION -- If the Death Benefit beneficiary is the
Contract Owner's spouse, the Contract will continue with the spouse as Contract
Owner, unless the spouse elects to receive the Death Benefit as a lump sum
payment or as an annuity payment option. If the Contract continues with the
spouse as Contract Owner, we will adjust the Contract Value to the amount that
we would have paid as the Death Benefit payment, had the spouse elected to
receive the Death Benefit as a lump sum payment. This provision will only apply
one time for each Contract.
CALCULATION OF THE DEATH BENEFIT -- If the Contract Owner or Annuitant dies
before the Annuity Commencement Date and a Death Benefit is payable to the
Beneficiary, the Death Benefit will be calculated as of the date we receive
written notification of Due Proof of Death. THE DEATH BENEFIT REMAINS INVESTED
IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT ACCORDING TO YOUR LAST INSTRUCTIONS UNTIL THE PROCEEDS
ARE PAID OR WE RECEIVE NEW SETTLEMENT INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE BENEFICIARY. DURING
THE TIME PERIOD BETWEEN OUR RECEIPT OF WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF DUE PROOF OF
DEATH AND OUR RECEIPT OF THE COMPLETE SETTLEMENT INSTRUCTIONS, THE CALCULATED
DEATH BENEFIT WILL BE SUBJECT TO MARKET FLUCTUATIONS. UPON RECEIPT OF COMPLETE
SETTLEMENT INSTRUCTIONS, WE WILL CALCULATE THE PAYABLE AMOUNT.
Any Annuity payments made on or after the date of death, but before receipt of
written notification of Due Proof of Death will be recovered by us from the
Payee.
DEATH ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
If, on or after the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contract Owner dies and the
Annuitant is living, the Beneficiary becomes the Contract Owner. If the
Annuitant dies and the Contract Owner is living, the Contract Owner becomes the
Beneficiary.
If the Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date, a Death Benefit
may be paid or payments may continue under the following annuity payment
options:
- - Life Annuity with Cash Refund
- - Life Annuity with payments for a Period Certain
- - Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity with payments for a Period Certain and
- - Payments for a Period Certain.
Proceeds from the Death Benefit may be left with us for at least 5 years from
the date of the Contract Owner's death if the death occurs prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date. These proceeds will remain in the Account(s) to which they
were allocated at the time of death unless the Beneficiary elects to reallocate
them. Full or partial Surrenders may be made at any time. In the event of a
complete Surrender, the remaining value will equal the Contract Value of the
proceeds left with us, minus any partial Surrenders. This option may not be
available under certain Contracts issued in connection with Qualified Plans.

SETTLEMENT PROVISIONS
You select an Annuity Commencement Date which will not be deferred beyond the
Valuation Day immediately following the later of the Annuitant's 90th birthday
or the end of the tenth Contract Year. You may elect a later Annuity
Commencement Date if we allow and subject to the laws and regulations then in
effect. The Annuity Commencement Date may be changed from time to time, but ANY
CHANGE MUST BE WITHIN 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE DATE ON WHICH ANNUITY PAYMENTS ARE
SCHEDULED TO BEGIN.
You also elect in writing an annuity payment option, which may be any of the
options described below or any annuity payment option then being offered by us.
The annuity payment option may not be changed on or after the Annuity
Commencement Date. The Contract contains the six annuity payment options
described below and the Annuity Proceeds Settlement Option.
For Qualified Contracts, the following annuity payment options are only
available if the guaranteed payment period is less than the life expectancy of
the Annuitant at the time the option becomes effective. The Annuity Proceeds
Settlement option is available for Qualified Contracts only if the guaranteed
payment period is less than the life expectancy of the Beneficiary at the time
the option becomes effective. Such life expectancies are computed on the basis
of the mortality table prescribed by the IRS, or if none is prescribed, the
mortality table in use by us. If you do not elect otherwise, fixed dollar amount
annuity payments will begin automatically on the Annuity Commencement Date,
under the Life Annuity Payment Option.
For Non-Qualified Contracts, if you do not elect otherwise, fixed dollar amount
annuity payments will automatically begin on the Annuity Commencement Date under
the annuity payment option Life Annuity with payments for a Period Certain of 10
years. For Qualified Contracts and Contracts issued in Texas, if you do not
elect otherwise, fixed dollar amount annuity payments will begin automatically
on the Annuity Commencement Date, under the Life Annuity Payment Option.
With the exception of the option Payments for a Period Certain, if the variable
dollar amount payment is selected, no Surrenders are permitted after annuity
payments begin.
ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS
LIFE ANNUITY
where we make Annuity payments for as long as the Annuitant lives.
- Payments under this option STOP UPON THE DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT, even if the
Annuitant dies after one payment.
LIFE ANNUITY WITH CASH REFUND
where we make payments during the life of the Annuitant and when the Annuitant
dies, we pay the remaining value to the Beneficiary. The remaining value is
calculated at the time we receive Due Proof of Death by subtracting the annuity
payments already made from the Contract Value less any applicable Premium Taxes
applied to this annuity payment option.
- This option is only available if you select payments using a VARIABLE DOLLAR
AMOUNT PAYMENT OPTION WITH THE 5% AIR OR FIXED DOLLAR AMOUNT ANNUITY
PAYMENTS.
LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN
where we make payments to you for the life of the Annuitant but you are at least
guaranteed payments for a time period you select which is a minimum of 5 years
and a maximum of 100 years minus your Annuitant's age.
- If the Annuitant dies prior to the end of the period selected, we will pay
your Beneficiary the present value of the remaining payments, either in a
lump sum payment or we will continue payments until the end of the period
selected.
JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY
where we make payments during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and another
designated individual called the Joint Annuitant At the time of electing this
Annuity Option, the Contract Owner may elect reduced payments over the remaining
lifetime of the survivor.
- Payments under this option STOP UPON THE DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT AND JOINT
ANNUITANT, even if the Annuitant and Joint Annuitant die after one payment.
JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN
where we make payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and a Joint
Annuitant, and we guarantee that those payments for a time period you select
which is not less than 5 years and no more than 100 years minus the younger
Annuitant's age. At the time of electing this Annuity Option, the Contract Owner
may elect reduced payments over the remaining lifetime of the survivor.
- If the Annuitant and Joint Annuity die prior to the end of the period
selected, we will pay your Beneficiary the present value of the remaining
payments, either in a lump sum payment or We will continue payments until
the end of the period selected.
PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN
where we agree to make payments for a specified time. The minimum period that
you can select is 10 years during the first two Contract years and 5 years after
the second Contract Anniversary. The maximum period that you can select is 100
years minus your Annuitant's age.
- If you select this option under a variable dollar amount payment, YOU MAY
SURRENDER YOUR ANNUITY after annuity payments have started and we will give
you the
<PAGE>
24 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
present value of the remaining payments less any applicable Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge.
- If the Annuitant dies prior to the end of the period selected, we will pay
your Beneficiary the present value of the remaining payments, either in a
lump sum payment or we will continue payments until the end of the period
selected.
WE MAY OFFER OTHER ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS FROM TIME TO TIME.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
When your decide to begin to take payments, we calculate your Contract Value
minus any Premium Tax which we must pay and, unless you instruct us otherwise,
we apply that amount to a variable annuity with the same Sub-Account values. You
may however, choose to have your Contract Value applied to a fixed annuity
instead.
IMPORTANT: YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THE QUESTION OF ALLOCATION OF CONTRACT VALUES
(LESS APPLICABLE PREMIUM TAXES) AMONG ACCOUNTS TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT ANNUITY
PAYMENTS ARE BASED ON THE INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVE BEST SUITED TO YOUR NEEDS FOR
RETIREMENT.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS -- The minimum Annuity payment is $50. No election may be made
which results in a first payment of less than $50. If at any time Annuity
payments are or become less than $50, we have the right to change the frequency
of payment to intervals so that payments will at least be $50. For Contracts
issued in the State of New York, the minimum monthly Annuity payment is $20. If
any amount due is less than the minimum amount per year, we make such other
settlement as may be equitable to the Payee.
All Annuity payments under any option will occur the same day of the month as
the Annuity Commencement Date, based on the payment frequency selected by you.
Available payment frequencies include monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and
annual. The payment frequency may be changed within 30 days prior to the
anniversary of your Annuity Commencement Date.
ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- You select the Annuity Commencement Date in your
application or order request. The Annuity Calculation Date will be no more than
five Valuation Days before the Annuity Commencement Date.
ANNUITY CALCULATION DATE -- On the Annuity Calculation Date, your Contract Value
less any applicable Premium Tax is applied to purchase Annuity Units of the
Sub-Accounts selected by you. The first Annuity payment is computed using the
value of these Annuity Units as of the Annuity Calculation Date.
INCOME PAYMENT DATES -- All Annuity payments after the first Annuity payment are
computed and payable as of the Income Payment Dates. These dates are the same
day of the month as the Annuity Commencement Date, based on the Annuity payment
frequency selected by you. They are also shown on the specification page of
your Contract. You may choose from monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual
payments. The Annuity payment frequency may not be changed once selected by you.
IN THE EVENT THAT YOU DO NOT SELECT A PAYMENT FREQUENCY, ANNUITY PAYMENTS WILL
BE MADE MONTHLY.
VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
THE FIRST VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT -- Variable Annuity payments are periodic
payments we pay to your designated Payee, the amount of which varies from one
Income Payment Date to the next as a function of the net investment performance
of the Sub-Accounts selected by you. The dollar amount of the first Variable
Annuity payment depends on the annuity payment option chosen, the age of the
Annuitant, the gender of the Annuitant (if applicable), the amount of Contract
Value less applicable Premium Tax applied to purchase the Annuity payments, and
the applicable annuity purchase rates based on the 1983a Individual Annuity
Mortality table using projection scale G projected to the year 2000 and an AIR
of not less than 3.0%.
The dollar amount of the first Variable Annuity payment attributable to each
Sub-Account is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Contract Value
less applicable Premium Tax applied to that Sub-Account on the Annuity
Calculation Date by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the payment factor in
the Contract for the selected annuity payment option. The dollar value of the
first Variable Annuity payment is the sum of the first Variable Annuity payments
attributable to each Sub-Account.
ANNUITY UNITS -- The number of Annuity Units attributable to a Sub-Account is
derived by dividing the first Variable Annuity payment attributable to that
Sub-Account by the Annuity Unit value for that Sub-Account for the Valuation
Period ending on the Annuity Calculation Date or during which the Annuity
Calculation Date falls if the Valuation Period does not end on such date. The
number of Annuity Units attributable to each Sub-Account under a Contract
remains fixed unless there is a transfer of Annuity Units between Sub-Accounts.
SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS -- The dollar amount of each subsequent
Variable Annuity payment attributable to each Sub-Account is calculated on the
Income Payment Date. It is determined by multiplying (a) by (b), where:
- - is the number of Annuity Units of each Sub-Account credited under the Contract
and
- - is the Annuity Unit value (described below) for that Sub-Account.
The total subsequent Variable Annuity payments equal the sum of the amounts
attributable to each Sub-Account.
When an Income Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Valuation Day, the
Income Payment is computed as of the prior Valuation Day. If the date of the
month elected does not occur in a given month, i.e., the 29th, 30th, or 31st of
a month, the payment will be computed as of the last Valuation Day of the month.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 25
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Annuity Unit value of each Sub-Account for any Valuation Period is equal to
(a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c) where:
- - is the Net Investment Factor for the Valuation Period for which the Annuity
Unit value is being calculated;
- - is the Annuity Unit value for the preceding Valuation Period; and
- - is the Annuity Unit Factor
The Annuity Unit Factor neutralizes the AIR percentage (3%, 5%, or 6%). The
daily Annuity Unit Factor corresponding to the AIR percentages of 3%, 5%, and 6%
are 0.999919, 0.999866, and 0.999840, respectively
THE ASSUMED INVESTMENT RETURN (AIR) -- The Annuity Unit value will increase or
decrease from one Income Payment Date to the next in direct proportion to the
net investment return of the Sub-Account(s) supporting the Variable Annuity
payments, less an adjustment to neutralize the selected AIR. Dividing what would
otherwise be the Annuity Unit value by the AIR factor is necessary in order to
adjust the change in the Annuity Unit value (resulting from the Net Investment
Factor) so that the Annuity Unit value only changes to the extent that the Net
Investment Factor represents a rate of return greater than or less than the AIR
selected by you. Without this adjustment, the Net Investment Factor would
decrease the Annuity Unit value to the extent that such value represented an
annualized rate of return of less than 0.0% and increase the Annuity Unit value
to the extent that such value represented an annualized rate of return of
greater than 0.0%.
The Contract permits Contract Owners to select one of three AIRs: 3%, 5% or 6%.
A higher AIR will result in a higher initial payment, a more slowly rising
series of subsequent payments when actual investment performance (minus any
deductions and expenses) exceeds the AIR, and a more rapid drop in subsequent
payments when actual investment performance (minus any deductions and expenses)
is less than the AIR. The following examples may help clarify the impact of
selecting one AIR over another:
- - If you select a 3% AIR and if the net investment return of the Sub-Account for
an Annuity payment period is equal to the pro-rated portion of the 3% AIR, the
Variable Annuity payment attributable to that Sub-Account for that period will
equal the Annuity payment for the prior period. To the extent that such net
investment return exceeds an annualized rate of return of 3% for a payment
period, the Annuity payment for that period will be greater than the Annuity
payment for the prior period and to the extent that such return for a period
falls short of an annualized rate of 3%, the Annuity payment for that period
will be less than the Annuity payment for the prior period.
- - If you select a 5% AIR and if the net investment return of the Sub-Account for
an Annuity payment period is equal to the pro-rated portion of the 5% AIR, the
Variable Annuity payment attributable to that Sub-Account for that period will
equal the Annuity payment for the prior period. To the extent that such net
investment return exceeds an annualized rate of return of 5% for a payment
period, the Annuity payment for that period will be greater than the Annuity
payment for the prior period and to the extent that such return for a period
falls short of an annualized rate of 5%, the Annuity payment for that period
will be less than the Annuity payment for the prior period.
- - If you select a 6% AIR and if the net investment return of the Sub-Account for
an Annuity payment period is equal to the pro-rated portion of the 6% AIR, the
Variable Annuity payment attributable to that Sub-Account for that period will
equal the Annuity payment for the prior period. To the extent that such net
investment return exceeds an annualized rate of return of 6% for a payment
period, the Annuity payment for that period will be greater than the Annuity
payment for the prior period and to the extent that such return for a period
falls short of an annualized rate of 6%, the Annuity payment for that period
will be less than the Annuity payment for the prior period.
LEVEL VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS WOULD BE PRODUCED IF THE INVESTMENT RATE RETURNS
REMAINED CONSTANT AND EQUAL TO THE AIR. IN FACT, PAYMENTS WILL VARY UP OR DOWN
AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN FROM THE AIR.
EXCHANGE (TRANSFER) OF ANNUITY UNITS -- After the Annuity Calculation Date, you
may exchange (i.e., transfer) the dollar value of a designated number of Annuity
Units of a particular Sub-Account for an equivalent dollar amount of Annuity
Units of another Sub-Account. On the date of the transfer, the dollar amount of
a Variable Annuity payment generated from the Annuity Units of either
Sub-Account would be the same. Transfers are executed as of the day Hartford
receives a written request for a transfer. For guidelines refer to Sub-Account
Value Transfers Before and After the Annuity Commencement Date.
FIXED DOLLAR ANNUITY -- Fixed Annuity payments are determined at annuitization
by multiplying the Contract Value (less applicable Premium Taxes) by a rate to
be determined by Hartford which is no less than the rate specified in the Fixed
Annuity option tables in the Contract. The Annuity payment will remain level for
the duration of the Annuity. Any Fixed Annuity allocation may not be changed.
OTHER INFORMATION
ASSIGNMENT -- Ownership of this Contract 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 tax-qualified retirement plan involved. An assignment of a
Non-Qualified Contract may subject the Contract Values or assignment proceeds to
income taxes and certain penalty taxes.
CONTRACT MODIFICATION -- The Annuitant may not be changed; however, the
Contingent Annuitant may be changed at any time prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date by sending us written notice. We may modify the Contract, but
no modification will effect the amount or term of any Contract unless a
<PAGE>
26 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
modification is required to conform the Contract to applicable Federal or State
law. No modification will effect the method by which Contract Values are
determined.
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are some of the federal tax consequences which affect these Contracts?
A. GENERAL
Since federal tax law is complex, the tax consequences of purchasing this
contract will vary depending on your situation. You may need tax or legal advice
to help you determine whether purchasing this contract is right for you.
Our general discussion of the tax treatment of this contract is based on our
understanding of federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. A
detailed description of all federal income tax consequences regarding the
purchase of this contract cannot be made in the prospectus. We also do not
discuss state, municipal or other tax laws that may apply to this contract. For
detailed information, you should consult with a qualified tax adviser familiar
with your situation.
B. TAXATION OF HARTFORD AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is taxed as part of Hartford which is taxed as a life
insurance company in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (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"). 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 Code governs the taxation of annuities in general.
1. NON-NATURAL PERSONS, CORPORATIONS, ETC.
Code Section 72 contains provisions for contract owners which are not natural
persons. Non-natural persons include corporations, trusts, limited liability
companies, partnerships and other types of legal entities. The tax rules for
contracts owned by non-natural persons are different from the rules for
contracts owned by individuals. For example, the annual net increase in the
value of the contract is currently includible 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 are additional exceptions from current inclusion
for:
- - certain annuities held by structured settlement companies,
- - certain annuities held by an employer 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 a non-natural person, the primary annuitant is treated
as the contract owner in applying mandatory distribution rules. These rules
require that certain distributions be made upon the death of the contract owner.
A change in the primary annuitant is also 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
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 27
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
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 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 (not less frequently than annually) for the life (or
life expectancy) of the recipient (or the joint lives or life
expectancies of the recipient and the recipient's designated
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
<PAGE>
28 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 must be
made 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. This spousal continuation shall apply only
once for this contract.
3. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.
The Code requires that investments supporting your contract be adequately
diversified. Code Section 817 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.
If a contract is not treated as an annuity contract, the contract owner will be
subject to income tax on annual increases in cash value.
The Treasury Department's diversification regulations 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 the
case of government securities, each government agency or instrumentality is
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 still 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.
We monitor the diversification of investments in the separate accounts and test
for diversification as required by the Code. We intend 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 separate accounts supporting the contract must be considered to be owned by
the insurance company and not by the contract owner. It is unclear under what
circumstances an investor is considered to have enough control over the assets
in the separate account to be considered the owner of the assets for tax
purposes.
The IRS has issued several rulings discussing investor control. These rulings
say that certain 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.
In its explanation of the diversification regulations, the Treasury Department
recognized that the temporary regulations "do not
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 29
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, guidance has
yet to be issued. We do not know if additional guidance will be issued. If
guidance is issued, we do not know if it will have a retroactive effect.
Due to the lack of specific guidance on investor control, there is some
uncertainty about when a contract owner is considered the owner of the assets
for tax purposes. We reserve the right to modify the contract, as necessary, to
prevent you from being considered the owner of assets in the separate account.
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 there is no election to waive withholding, 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, Hartford 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 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 adviser regarding U.S.,
state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity purchase.

APPENDIX I -- INFORMATION REGARDING TAX-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS
This summary does not attempt to provide more than general information about the
federal income tax rules associated with use of a Contract by a tax-qualified
retirement plan. Because of the complexity of the federal tax rules, owners,
participants and beneficiaries are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors
as to specific tax consequences.
The federal tax rules applicable to owners of Contracts under tax-qualified
retirement plans vary according to the type of plan as well as the terms and
conditions of the plan itself. Contract owners, plan participants and
beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights and benefits of any person may be
controlled by the terms and conditions of the tax-qualified retirement plan
itself, regardless of the terms and conditions of a Contract. We are not bound
by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms conflict with
a Contract, unless we specifically consent to be bound.
Some tax-qualified retirement plans are subject to distribution and other
requirements that are not incorporated into our administrative procedures.
Contract owners, participants and beneficiaries are responsible for determining
that contributions, distributions and other transactions comply with applicable
law. Tax penalties may apply to transactions with respect to tax-qualified
retirement plans if applicable federal income tax rules and restrictions are not
carefully observed.
We do not currently offer the Contracts in connection with all of the types of
tax-qualified retirement plans discussed below and may not offer the Contracts
for all types of tax-qualified retirement plans in the future.
1. TAX-QUALIFIED PENSION OR PROFIT-SHARING PLANS -- Eligible employers can
establish certain tax-qualified pension and profit-sharing plans under section
401 of the Code. Rules under section 401(k) of the Code govern certain "cash or
deferred arrangements" under such plans. Rules under section 408(k) govern
"simplified employee pensions". Tax-qualified pension and profit-sharing plans
are subject to limitations on the amount that may be contributed, the persons
who may be eligible to participate and the time when distributions must
commence. Employers intending to use the Contracts in connection with
tax-qualified pension or profit-sharing plans should seek competent tax and
other legal advice.
2. TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 403(b) -- Public schools and certain
types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations, as specified in
section 501(c)(3) of the Code, can purchase tax-sheltered annuity contracts for
their employees. Tax-deferred contributions can be made to tax-sheltered annuity
contracts under section 403(b) of the Code, subject to certain limitations.
Generally, such contributions may not exceed the lesser of $10,000 (indexed) or
20% of the employee's "includable compensation" for such employee's most recent
full year of employment, subject to other adjustments. Special provisions under
the Code 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:
- - after the participating employee attains age 59 1/2;
- - upon separation from service;
- - upon death or disability; or
- - in the case of hardship (and in the case of hardship, any income attributable
to such contributions may not be distributed).
Generally, the above restrictions do not apply to distributions attributable to
cash values or other amounts held under a section 403(b) contract as of December
31, 1988.
3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS UNDER SECTION 457 -- A governmental employer or a
tax-exempt employer other than a governmental unit can establish a Deferred
Compensation Plan under section 457 of the Code. For these purposes, a
"governmental employer" is a State, a political subdivision of a State, or an
agency or an instrumentality of a State or political subdivision of a State.
Employees and independent contractors performing services for a governmental or
tax-exempt employer can elect to have contributions made to a Deferred
Compensation Plan of their employer in accordance with the employer's plan and
section 457 of the Code.
Deferred Compensation Plans that meet the requirements of section 457(b) of the
Code are called "eligible" Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457(b) limits
the amount of contributions that can be made to an eligible Deferred
Compensation Plan on behalf of a participant. Generally, the limitation on
contributions is 33 1/3% of a participant's includable compensation (typically
25% of gross compensation) or, for 1999, $8,000 (indexed), whichever is less.
The plan may provide for additional "catch-up" contributions during the three
taxable years ending before the year in which the participant attains normal
retirement age.
All of the assets and income of an eligible Deferred Compensation Plan
established by a governmental employer after August 20, 1996, must be held in
trust for the exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries. For
this purpose, custodial accounts and certain annuity contracts are treated as
trusts. Eligible Deferred Compensation Plans that were in existence on August
20, 1996 may be amended to satisfy the trust and exclusive benefit requirements
any time prior to January 1, 1999, and must be amended not later than that date
to continue to receive favorable tax treatment. The requirement of a trust does
not apply to amounts under a Deferred Compensation Plan of a tax-
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 33
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
exempt (non-governmental) employer. In addition, the requirement of a trust does
not apply to amounts under a Deferred Compensation Plan of a governmental
employer if the Deferred Compensation Plan is not an eligible plan within the
meaning of section 457(b) of the Code. In the absence of such a trust, amounts
under the plan will be subject to the claims of the employer's general
creditors.
In general, distributions from an eligible Deferred Compensation Plan are
prohibited under section 457 of the Code unless made after the participating
employee:
- - attains age 70 1/2,
- - separates from service,
- - dies, or
- - suffers an unforeseeable financial emergency as defined in the Code.
Under present federal tax law, amounts accumulated in a Deferred Compensation
Plan under section 457 of the Code cannot be transferred or rolled over on a
tax-deferred basis except for certain transfers to other Deferred Compensation
Plans under section 457 in limited cases.
4. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES ("IRAS") UNDER SECTION 408
TRADITIONAL IRAS -- Eligible individuals can establish individual retirement
programs under section 408 of the Code through the purchase of an IRA. Section
408 imposes limits with respect to IRAs, including limits on the amount that may
be contributed to an IRA, the amount of such contributions that may be deducted
from taxable income, the persons who may be eligible to contribute to an IRA,
and the time when distributions commence from an IRA. Distributions from certain
tax-qualified retirement plans may be "rolled-over" to an IRA on a tax-deferred
basis.
SIMPLE IRAS -- Eligible employees may establish SIMPLE IRAs in connection with a
SIMPLE IRA plan of an employer under section 408(p) of the Code. Special
rollover rules apply to SIMPLE IRAs. Amounts can be rolled over from one SIMPLE
IRA to another SIMPLE IRA. However, amounts can be rolled over from a SIMPLE IRA
to a Traditional IRA only after two years have expired since the employee first
commenced participation in the employer's SIMPLE IRA plan. Amounts cannot be
rolled over to a SIMPLE IRA from a qualified plan or a Traditional IRA. Hartford
is a non-designated financial institution for purposes of the SIMPLE IRA rules.
ROTH IRAS -- Eligible individuals may establish Roth IRAs under section 408A of
the Code. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible. Subject to special
limitations, a Traditional IRA may be converted into a Roth IRA or a
distribution from a Traditional IRA may be rolled over to a Roth IRA. However, a
conversion or a rollover from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is not excludable
from gross income. If certain conditions are met, qualified distributions from a
Roth IRA are tax-free.
5. FEDERAL TAX PENALTIES AND WITHHOLDING -- Distributions from tax-qualified
retirement plans are generally taxed as ordinary income 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 that bears the
same ratio as the after-tax contributions bear to the expected return.
(A) PENALTY TAX ON EARLY DISTRIBUTIONS Section 72(t) of the Code imposes an
additional penalty tax equal to 10% of the taxable portion of a distribution
from certain tax-qualified retirement plans. However, the 10% penalty tax
does not apply to a distributions that is:
- - Made on or after the date on which the employee reaches age 59 1/2;
- - Made to a beneficiary (or to the estate of the employee) on or after the death
of the employee;
- - Attributable to the employee's becoming disabled (as defined in the Code);
- - Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently
than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the employee or the
joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the employee and his or her
designated beneficiary;
- - Except in the case of an IRA, made to an employee after separation from
service after reaching age 55; or
- - Not greater than the amount allowable as a deduction to the employee for
eligible medical expenses during the taxable year.
IN ADDITION, THE 10% PENALTY TAX DOES NOT APPLY TO A DISTRIBUTION FROM AN IRA
THAT IS:
- - Made after separation from employment to an unemployed IRA owner for health
insurance premiums, if certain conditions are met;
- - Not in excess of the amount of certain qualifying higher education expenses,
as defined by section 72(t)(7) of the Code; or
- - A qualified first-time homebuyer distribution meeting the requirements
specified at section 72(t)(8) of the Code.
If you are a participant in a SIMPLE IRA plan, you should be aware that the 10%
penalty tax is increased to 25% with respect to non-exempt early distributions
made from your SIMPLE IRA during the first two years following the date you
first commenced participation in any SIMPLE IRA plan of your employer.
(B) MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PENALTY TAX If the amount distributed is less than the
minimum required distribution for the year, the Participant is subject to a
50% penalty tax on the amount that was not properly distributed.
An individual's interest in a tax-qualified retirement plan generally must be
distributed, or begin to be distributed, not later than the Required Beginning
Date. Generally, the Required Beginning Date is April 1 of the calendar year
following the later of:
<PAGE>
34 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - the calendar year in which the individual attains age 70 1/2; or
- - the calendar year in which the individual retires from service with the
employer sponsoring the plan.
The Required Beginning Date for an individual who is a five (5) percent owner
(as defined in the Code), or who is the owner of an IRA, is April 1 of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the individual attains age
70 1/2.
The entire interest of the Participant must be distributed beginning no later
than the Required Beginning Date over:
- - the life of the Participant or the lives of the Participant and the
Participant's designated beneficiary, or
- - over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Participant or
the joint life expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's 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 individual's 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 and distribution is over the life
of such 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.
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.
(C) WITHHOLDING In general, regular wage withholding rules apply to
distributions from IRAs and plans described in section 457 of the Code.
Periodic distributions from other tax-qualified retirement plans that are
made for a specified period of 10 or more years or for the life or life
expectancy of the participant (or the joint lives or life expectancies of
the participant and beneficiary) are generally subject to federal income tax
withholding as if the recipient were married claiming three exemptions. 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.
Mandatory federal income tax withholding at a flat rate of 20% will generally
apply to other distributions from such other tax-qualified retirement plans
unless such distributions are:
- - the non-taxable portion of the distribution;
- - required minimum distributions; or
- - direct transfer distributions.
Direct transfer distributions are direct payments to an IRA or to another
eligible retirement plan under Code section 401(a)(31).
Certain states require withholding of state taxes when federal income tax is
withheld.

APPENDIX II -- OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT -- EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1
Assume that you deposited a premium payment of $100,000 on January 1, 1998. If
you made no Surrenders during the year, your Interest Accumulation Value on
January 1, 1999 would be $105,000, calculated as follows:
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
$100,000 Premium deposited on January 1, 1998
5,000 Interest accumulated at 5% per year on premiums
- -------
$105,000 Interest Accumulation Value on January 1, 1999.
</TABLE>
If you elected the Optional Death Benefit, you would be guaranteed a Death
Benefit payment equal to at least $105,000.
EXAMPLE 2
Assume that you deposited a premium payment of $100,000 on January 1, 1998. If
you Surrendered $10,000 on January 1, 1999 and your Contract Value immediately
prior to the partial Surrender was $100,000, your Interest Accumulation Value on
January 1, 1999 would be $94,500, calculated as follows:
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
$100,000 Premium deposited on January 1, 1998

- --------
$94,500 Interest Accumulation Value on January 1, 1999.
</TABLE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The Adjustment for the partial Surrender reduces the Interest Accumulation
Value by an amount equal to the proportion of the partial Surrender to the
Contract Value prior to the partial Surrender. Therefore, in this example, the
$10,500 reduction to the Interest Accumulation Value is calculated by dividing
the amount of the Surrender, $10,000, by the Contract Value paid prior to the
Surrender, $100,000. This ratio (Surrender DIVIDED BY Contract Value prior to
Surrender) is multiplied by the Interest Accumulation Value prior to
Surrenders and results in the adjustment for the partial Surrender.

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. There are several
alternative annuity payment options available under the Contract (see
"Annuity Payment Options" in the Prospectus).
The Premium Payments under a Contract, less any applicable Premium Taxes,
will be applied to the Separate Account and/or the Fixed Accumulation Feature.
Accordingly, the net Premium Payment under the Contract will be applied to
purchase interests in one or more of the Nations Balanced Assets Portfolio,
Nations Disciplined Equity Portfolio, Nations International Growth Portfolio,
Nations Managed Index Portfolio, Nations Managed SmallCap Index Portfolio,
Nations Value Portfolio, Nations Marsico Growth & Income Portfolio, Nations
Marsico Focused Equities Portfolio, AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund, AIM
V.I. High Yield Fund, AIM V.I. Value Fund, Advisers Fund, Bond Fund, Capital
Appreciation Fund, Dividend and Growth Fund, Money Market Fund,
International Opportunities Fund, Small Company Fund, and Stock Fund.
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.
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
there is no designated Contingent Annuitant, or the Contingent Annuitant
predeceases the Annuitant, or if the Contract Owner dies before the Annuity
Commencement Date the Beneficiary will receive the Contract Value determined
on the date of receipt of due proof of death by Hartford Life Insurance
Company ("Hartford") at the Home Office. If, upon death prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date, the Annuitant or Contract Owner, as applicable, had not
attained his 90th birthday, the Beneficiary will receive the greater of (a)
the Contract Value determined as of the day Hartford receives written due
proof of death of such person, or (b) 100% of the total Premium Payments made
to such Contract, reduced by any prior surrenders, or (c) the Maximum
Anniversary Value immediately preceding the date of death established up to
age 80, adjusted for additions and surrenders. (See "Death Benefits" in the
prospectus).

SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS
Title to the assets of the Separate Account is held by Hartford. The assets
are kept physically segregated and are held separate and apart from
Hartford's general corporate assets. Records are maintained of all purchases
and redemptions of Fund shares held in each of the Sub-Accounts.
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The audited financial statements and financial statement schedules included
in this registration statement have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP,
independent public accountants, as indicated in their reports with respect
thereto, and are included herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm
as experts in giving said reports. The principal business address of Arthur
Andersen LLP is One Financial Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut 06103.

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 an affiliate of Hartford. Both HSD and Hartford are ultimately
controlled by The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. The principal
business address of HSD is the same as that of Hartford.
The securities will be sold by salespersons of HSD who represent Hartford 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
1934 as a Broker-Dealer and is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.
Commissions will be paid by Hartford and will not be more than 7% of premium
payments. From time to time, Hartford may pay or permit other promotional
incentives, in cash or credit or other compensation.
Broker-dealers or financial institutions are compensated according to a
schedule set forth by HSD and any applicable rules or regulations for
variable insurance compensation. Compensation is generally based on premium
payments made by policyholders or contract owners. This compensation is
usually paid from the sales charges described in the prospectus.
In addition, a broker-dealer or financial institution may also receive
additional compensation for, among other things, training, marketing or other
services provided. HSD, its affiliates or Hartford may also make compensation
arrangements with certain broker-dealers or financial institutions based on
total sales by the broker-dealer or financial institution of insurance
products. These payments, which may be different for different broker-dealers
or financial institutions, will be made by HSD, its affiliates or Hartford
out of their own assets and will not effect the amounts paid by the
policyholders or contract owners to purchase, hold or Surrender variable
insurance products.
Hartford currently pays HSD underwriting commissions for its role as Principal
Underwriter of all variable annuities associated with this Separate Account.
For the past three years, the aggregate dollar amount of underwriting
commissions paid to HSD in its role as Principal Underwriter has been: 1999:
$159,553,734, 1998: $61,629,500 and 1997: $64,851,026. HSD has retained none
of these commissions.

CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN
YIELD OF A MONEY MARKET SUB-ACCOUNT. As summarized in the prospectus under the
heading "Performance Related Information," the yield of a money market
Sub-Account 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 accumulation unit of the
Sub-Account at the beginning of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge
reflecting deductions from Contract Owner accounts, and dividing the difference
by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the
base period return, and then 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 effective yield is calculated by compounding the base period return by
adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7 and
subtracting 1 from the result, according to the following formula:
365/7
Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1) ] - 1
THE MONEY MARKET FUND SUB-ACCOUNT'S YIELD AND EFFECTIVE YIELD WILL VARY IN
RESPONSE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN INTEREST RATES AND IN THE EXPENSES OF THE
SUB-ACCOUNT.
YIELD AND EFFECTIVE YIELD FOR THE SEVEN-DAY PERIOD ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1999.

YIELD OF SUB-ACCOUNT. As summarized in the prospectus under the heading
"Performance Related Information," yields of Sub-Account 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 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 Sub-Account's yield 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-Account's
shares and to the relative risks associated with the investment objectives and
policy of the Sub-Account.
<PAGE>
-7-
Yield calculations of the Sub-Account used for illustration purposes reflect
dividends and interest earned by the Sub-Account, less applicable asset based
charges assessed under the Contract over the base period. Yield quotations
based on a 30 day period are computed by dividing the dividends and interest
earned during the period by the maximum offering price per unit on the last day
of the period, according to the following formula:
Example:
6
Current Yield Formula for the Sub-Account 2[((A-B)/(CD) + 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.

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 and assumes
that the Optional Death Benefit has not been elected. 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; (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 by the initial $1,000 investment and annualizing the result for
periods of less than one year. Standardized total return will be calculated
since the inception of the Separate Account 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.

In addition to the standardized total return, the Sub-Account may advertise a
non-standardized total return. This figure will usually be calculated since
the inception of the underlying fund 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.

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 or
prospective shareholders. Each Sub-Account may from time to time include its
yield and total return in advertisements or information furnished to present
or 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
and Morningstar, Inc. 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
about 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 Composite 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 Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (the "EAFE Index") is an
unmanaged index, which includes over 1,000 companies representing the stock
markets of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Far East. The EAFE Index
is weighted by market capitalization, and therefore, it has a heavy
representation in countries with large stock markets, such as Japan.
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.
<PAGE>
-13-
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.
The Composite Index for Hartford Advisers Fund is comprised of the S&P 500
(55%), the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (35%), both mentioned above,
and 90 Day U.S. Treasury Bills (10%).

HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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). Realized gains and
losses on the sales of securites are computed on the basis of identified
cost of the fund shares sold. Dividend and capital gains income is
accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains income represents those
dividends from the Funds which are characterized as capital gains under
tax regulations.
b) SECURITY VALUATION--The investment 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, 1999.
c) UNIT TRANSACTIONS--Unit transactions are executed based on the unit
values calculated at the close of the business day.
d) 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.
e) 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. DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES:
Certain amounts are deducted from the contracts, as described below:
a) MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES--The Company will make deductions at a
maximum annual rate of 1.25% of the contract's value for the mortality
and expense risks which the Company undertakes.
b) TAX EXPENSE CHARGE--If applicable, the Company will make deductions at a
maximum rate of 4.0% of the contract's value to meet premium tax
requirements.
c) ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE--An annual maintenance fee up to $30 may be
deducted from the contract's value each contract year. However this fee
is not applicable to contracts with values of $50,000 or more, as
determined on the most recent contract anniversary. These expenses are
included in Surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying
statements of changes in net assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT FOR SHARE DATA UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries ("Hartford Life Insurance Company" or the
"Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures
which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments which
were normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. For a
description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in Hartford Life Insurance Company's 1998 Form
10-K Annual Report.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to
conform to the current year classification of transactions and accounts.
(B) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133". This statement amends SFAS No. 133 to defer its effective
date for one year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Initial
application for Hartford Life Insurance Company will begin for the first quarter
2001.
Effective January 1, 1999, Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted Statement of
Position (SOP) No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". This SOP provides guidance on
accounting for costs of internal use software and in determining whether
software is for internal use. The SOP defines internal use software as software
that is acquired, internally developed, or modified solely to meet internal
needs and identifies stages of software development and accounting for the
related costs incurred during the stages. Adoption of this SOP did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1999, Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted SOP No. 97-3,
"Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related
Assessments". This SOP addresses accounting by insurance and other enterprises
for assessments related to insurance activities, including recognition,
measurement and disclosure of guaranty fund or other assessments. Adoption of
this SOP did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", during the fourth quarter of
1998. This statement replaces SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of
a Business Enterprise", and establishes new standards for reporting information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
This statement requires that the reportable operating segments be based on the
Company's internal operations. On this basis, Hartford Life Insurance Company's
segments represent strategic operations which offer different products and
services as well as serve different markets.
Hartford Life Insurance Company is organized into three reportable operating
segments: Investment Products, Individual Life and Corporate Owned Life
Insurance (COLI). Investment Products offers individual variable annuities,
fixed market value adjusted (MVA) annuities and fixed and variable immediate
annuities, deferred compensation and retirement plan services, structured
settlement contracts and other special purpose annuity contracts. Individual
Life sells a variety of life insurance products, including variable life,
universal life, interest-sensitive whole life and term life insurance. COLI
primarily offers variable products used by employers to fund non-qualified
benefits or other post-employment benefit obligations as well as leveraged COLI.
The Company includes in "Other" corporate items not directly allocable to any of
its reportable operating segments as well as certain employee benefit products
including group life and disability insurance that is directly written by the
Company and is substantially ceded to its parent, Hartford Life and Accident
Insurance Company.
F-5
<PAGE>
The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Hartford Life Insurance Company's
1998 Form 10-K Annual Report. Hartford Life Insurance Company evaluates
performance of its segments based on revenues, net income and the segment's
return on allocated capital. The Company charges direct operating expenses to
the appropriate segment and allocates the majority of indirect expenses to the
segments based on an intercompany expense arrangement. Intersegment revenues are
not significant and primarily occur between corporate and the operating
segments. These amounts include interest income on allocated surplus and the
allocation of net realized capital gains and losses through net investment
income utilizing the duration of the segment's investment portfolios. The
following tables present summarized financial information concerning the
Company's segments.

</TABLE>
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
LITIGATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company is involved in pending and threatened litigation
in the normal course of its business in which claims for monetary and punitive
damages have been asserted. Although there can be no assurances, at the present
time the Company does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising from
such pending or threatened litigation, after consideration of provisions made
for potential losses and costs of defense, will have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition or operating results of the Company.
(b) INVESTMENTS
In October 1998, the Company became aware of allegations of improper activities
at Commercial Financial Services Inc. ("CFS"), a securitizer and servicer of
asset backed securities, and on December 11, 1998, CFS filed for protection
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, the Company recognized
$25, after-tax, writedown related to the asset backed securities during the
fourth quarter of 1998. In June 1999, CFS ceased operations at which time the
Company recognized an additional $28, after-tax, writedown. In August 1999, the
Company sold all of its CFS holdings at a nominal gain, recovering its June 30,
1999 amortized cost of $23.
(c) TAX MATTERS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's federal income tax returns are routinely
audited by the Internal Revenue Service. Management believes that adequate
provision has been made in the financial statements for items that may result
from tax examinations and other tax related matters.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Hartford Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related Consolidated Statements of Income, Changes in Stockholder's Equity and
Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998.
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 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 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 Consolidated Financial Statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in the Index to
Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules are presented for the purpose of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part
of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic 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 financial statements
taken as a whole.

F-6 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
These Consolidated Financial Statements include Hartford Life Insurance
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Hartford Life Insurance Company" or
the "Company"), Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (ILA) and Hartford
International Life Reassurance Corporation (HLRe), formerly American Skandia
Life Reinsurance Corporation. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company (HLA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life, Inc. (Hartford Life). Hartford Life is a direct subsidiary of
Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company (HA&I), an indirect subsidiary of The
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (The Hartford). Pursuant to an initial
public offering (the "IPO") on May 22, 1997, Hartford Life sold 26 million
shares of Class A Common Stock at $28.25 per share and received proceeds, net of
offering expenses, of $687. Of the proceeds, $527 was used to retire debt
related to Hartford Life's outstanding promissory notes and line of credit with
the remaining $160 contributed by Hartford Life to HLA to support growth in its
core businesses. Hartford Life became a publicly traded company upon the sale of
26 million shares representing approximately 18.6% of the equity ownership in
Hartford Life. On December 19, 1995, ITT Industries, Inc. (formerly ITT
Corporation) (ITT) distributed all the outstanding shares of capital stock of
The Hartford to ITT stockholders of record on such date. As a result, The
Hartford became an independent, publicly traded company.
Along with its parent, HLA, the Company is a leading financial services and
insurance company which provides (a) investment products such as individual
variable annuities and fixed market value adjusted annuities, deferred
compensation and retirement plan services and mutual funds for savings and
retirement needs; (b) life insurance for income protection and estate planning;
and (c) employee benefits products such as group life and disability insurance
that is directly written by the Company and is substantially ceded to its
parent, HLA, and (d) corporate owned life insurance.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These Consolidated Financial Statements present the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Company. All material intercompany
transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates
have been eliminated. The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared on the
basis of generally accepted accounting principles which differ materially from
the statutory accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory
authorities.
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 most
significant estimates include those used in determining deferred policy
acquisition costs and the liability for future policy benefits and other
policyholder funds. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates,
management believes the amounts provided are adequate.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information
to conform to the current year presentation.
(b) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In November 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on
Issue No. 98-15, "Structured Notes Acquired for a Specific Investment Strategy".
This EITF issue requires companies to account for structured notes acquired for
a specific investment strategy, as a unit. Affected companies that entered into
these notes prior to September 25, 1998 are required to either restate prior
period financial statements to conform with the prescribed unit accounting model
or disclose the related impact on earnings for all periods presented and
cumulatively over the life of the instruments had the registrant accounted for
the structure as a unit. Based upon recently prescribed current generally
accepted accounting principles for such types of transactions entered into after
September 24, 1998, there was no additional earnings impact to the Company
related to combined structured note transactions. As of December 31, 1998, the
Company does not hold any combined structured notes.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The new standard establishes
accounting and reporting guidance for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. The standard requires, among
other things, that all derivatives be carried on the balance sheet at fair
value. The standard also specifies hedge accounting criteria under which a
derivative can qualify for special accounting. In order to receive special
accounting, the derivative instrument must qualify as either
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES F-7
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a hedge of the fair value or the variability of the cash flow of a qualified
asset or liability. Special accounting for qualifying hedges provides for
matching the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with
the recognition of the corresponding changes in value of the hedged item. SFAS
No. 133 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
Initial application for Hartford Life Insurance Company will begin for the first
quarter of the year 2000. While Hartford Life Insurance Company is currently in
the process of quantifying the impact of SFAS No. 133, the Company is reviewing
its derivative holdings in order to take actions needed to minimize potential
volatility, while at the same time maintaining the economic protection needed to
support the goals of its business.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". The SOP provides
guidance on accounting for the costs of internal use software and in determining
whether the software is for internal use. The SOP defines internal use software
as software that is acquired, internally developed, or modified solely to meet
internal needs and identifies stages of software development and accounting for
the related costs incurred during the stages. This statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 and is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. The objective of this statement is to report a measure of
all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other
economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Comprehensive
income is the total of net income and all other nonowner changes in equity.
Accordingly, the Company has reported comprehensive income in the Consolidated
Statements of Changes in Stockholder's Equity.
In December 1997, the AICPA issued SOP No. 97-3 "Accounting by Insurance and
Other Enterprises for Insurance Related Assessments". This SOP provides guidance
on accounting by insurance and other enterprises for assessments related to
insurance activities. Specifically, the SOP provides guidance on when a guaranty
fund or other assessment should be recognized, how to measure the liability, and
what information should be disclosed. This SOP will be effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1998. Adoption of SOP 97-3 is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information". The new standard requires public
business enterprises to disclose certain financial and descriptive information
about reportable operating segments in annual financial statements and in
condensed financial statements of interim periods. Operating segments are
components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in
deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. SFAS No. 131 also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 in 1998.
For additional information, see Note 13.
On November 14, 1996, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 96-12,
"Recognition of Interest Income and Balance Sheet Classification of Structured
Notes". This EITF issue requires companies to record income on certain
structured securities on a retrospective interest method. The Company adopted
EITF No. 96-12 for structured securities acquired after November 14, 1996.
Adoption of EITF No. 96-12 did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" which is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996. This statement established
criteria for determining whether transferred assets should be accounted for as
sales or secured borrowings. Adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1996, Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of ". This statement establishes accounting standards for
the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and
goodwill related to those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed. Adoption of SFAS No. 121
did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results
of operations.
The Company's cash flows were not impacted by these changes in accounting
principles.
(c) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues for investment products and universal life-type policies consist of
policy charges for policy administration, cost of insurance and surrender
charges assessed to policy account balances and are recognized in the period in
which services are provided. Premiums for traditional life insurance policies
are recognized as revenues when they are due from policyholders.
<PAGE>
F-8 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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 and
mortality assumptions appropriate at the time the policies were issued.
Liabilities for universal life-type and investment contracts are stated at
policyholder account values before surrender charges.
(e) INVESTMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's investments in fixed maturities include
bonds and commercial paper which are considered "available for sale" and
accordingly are carried at fair value with the after-tax difference from cost
reflected as a component of stockholder's equity designated "net unrealized
capital gains on securities, net of tax". Equity securities, which include
common and non-redeemable preferred stocks, are carried at fair values with the
after-tax difference from cost reflected in stockholder's equity. Policy loans
are carried at outstanding balance which approximates fair value. Realized
capital gains and losses on security transactions associated with the Company's
immediate participation guaranteed contracts are excluded from revenues and
deferred over the expected maturity of the securities, 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. Net realized capital gains
and losses, excluding those related to immediate participation guaranteed
contracts, are reported as a component of revenue and are determined on a
specific identification basis.
The Company's accounting policy for impairment requires recognition of an
other than temporary impairment charge on a security if it is determined that
the Company is unable to recover all amounts due under the contractual
obligations of the security. In addition, for securities expected to be sold, an
other than temporary impairment charge is recognized if the Company does not
expect the fair value of a security to recover to cost or amortized cost prior
to the expected date of sale. Once an impairment charge has been recorded, the
Company then continues to review the other than temporarily impaired securities
for additional impairment, if necessary.
(f) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company uses a variety of derivative instruments
including swaps, caps, floors, forwards and exchange traded financial futures
and options 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. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for
trading purposes. Hartford Life Insurance Company's accounting for derivative
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", AICPA SOP 86-2, "Accounting for Options" and various EITF
pronouncements. Written options are used, in all cases in conjunction with other
assets and derivatives, as part of the Company's asset and liability management
strategy. Derivative instruments are carried at values consistent with the asset
or liability being hedged. Derivative instruments used to hedge fixed maturities
or equity securities are carried at fair value with the after-tax difference
from cost reflected in Stockholder's Equity. Derivative instruments used to
hedge other invested assets or liabilities are carried at cost. For a discussion
of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
issued in June 1998, see (b) Changes in Accounting Principles.
Derivative instruments must be designated at inception as a hedge and
measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Hartford
Life Insurance Company's correlation threshold for hedge designation is 80% to
120%. If correlation, which is assessed monthly and measured based on a rolling
three month average, falls outside the 80% to 120% range, hedge accounting will
be terminated. Derivative instruments 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. Consistent
with industry practice, synthetic instruments are accounted for like the
financial instrument it is intended to replicate. Derivative instruments which
fail to meet risk management criteria, subsequent to acquisition, 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 investment of future receipt of product cash flows are deferred and, at
the time of the ultimate investment purchase, reflected as an adjustment to the
cost basis of the purchased asset. Gains or losses on futures used in invested
asset risk management are deferred and adjusted into the cost 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 net investment income over the remaining
asset life.
Open forward commitment contracts are marked to market through stockholder's
equity. Such contracts are accounted for at settlement by recording the purchase
of the specified securities at the previously committed price. Gains or losses
resulting from the termination of 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
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES F-9
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
option. 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 investment 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 net investment income. 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 capital gain or loss.
Premiums paid on purchased floor or cap agreements and the premium received
on issued cap or floor 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. Changes in the spot rate of instruments designated
as hedges of the net investment in a foreign subsidiary are reflected in the
cumulative translation adjustments component of stockholder's equity. Cash flows
from futures, options, and swaps, accounted for as hedges, are included with the
cash flows of the item being hedged.
(g) SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintains separate account assets and
liabilities which are reported at fair value. Separate account assets are
segregated from other investments. Separate accounts reflect two categories of
risk assumption: non-guaranteed separate accounts, wherein the policyholder
assumes the investment risk and rewards, and guaranteed separate account assets,
wherein the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account
value to the policyholder.
(h) DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Policy acquisition costs, which include commissions and certain underwriting
expenses associated with acquiring business, are deferred and amortized over the
estimated lives of the contracts, usually 20 years. Generally, acquisition costs
are deferred and amortized using the retrospective deposit method. Under the
retrospective deposit method, acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to
the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges, investment
charges, mortality and expense margins. Actual gross profits can vary from
management's estimates resulting in increases or decreases in the rate of
amortization. Management periodically updates these estimates, when appropriate,
and evaluates the recoverability of the deferred acquisition cost asset. When
appropriate, management revises its assumptions on the estimated gross profits
of these contracts and the cumulative amortization for the books of business are
re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to income.
Acquisition costs and their related deferral are included in the Company's
other expenses as follows:

(i) DIVIDENDS TO POLICYHOLDERS
Certain life insurance policies contain dividend payment provisions that
enable the policyholder to participate in the earnings on that participating
block of business. The participating insurance in force accounted for 71%, 55%
and 44% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, of total insurance in force.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity investments as
of December 31, 1998 by estimated maturity year are shown below. Expected
maturities differ from contractual maturities due to call or prepayment
provisions. Asset backed securities, including mortgage backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations, are distributed to maturity year based on
the Company's estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the
remaining lives of the securities. These estimates are developed using
prepayment speeds provided in broker consensus data. Such estimates are derived
from prepayment speeds experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the
applicable underlying collateral and can be expected to vary from actual
experience.

billion, $4.2 billion and $3.5 billion, gross realized capital gains of $103,
$169 and $87, gross realized capital losses (including writedowns) of $131, $176
and $298, respectively. In 1996, gross realized capital losses includes an other
than temporary impairment of $137 related to the Company's block of guaranteed
investment contract business written prior to 1995 which could not recover to
amortized cost prior to sale. Sales of equity security investments for the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 resulted in proceeds of $35, $132 and $74
and gross realized capital gains of $21, $12 and $2, respectively, and no gross
realized capital losses for all periods.
(f) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk
in fixed maturities of a single issuer greater than 10% of stockholder's equity.
(g) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company utilizes a variety of derivative
instruments, including swaps, caps, floors, forwards and exchange traded futures
and options, in accordance with Company policy and in order to achieve one of
three Company approved objectives: to hedge risk arising from interest rate,
price or currency exchange rate volatility; to manage liquidity; or, to control
transactions costs. The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage market
risk through four principal risk management strategies: hedging anticipated
transactions, hedging liability instruments, hedging invested assets and hedging
portfolios of assets and/or liabilities. The Company does not trade in these
instruments for the express purpose of earning trading profits.
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintains a derivatives counterparty
exposure policy which establishes market-based credit limits, favors long-term
financial stability and creditworthiness, and typically requires credit
enhancement/credit risk reducing agreements. Credit risk is measured as the
amount owed to the Company based on current market conditions and potential
payment obligations between the Company and its counterparties. Credit exposures
are quantified weekly and netted, and collateral is pledged to or held by the
Company to the extent the current value of derivatives exceed exposure policy
thresholds.
Hartford Life Insurance Company's derivative program is monitored by an
internal compliance unit and is reviewed by senior management and Hartford
Life's Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. Notional amounts, which
represent the basis upon which pay or receive amounts are calculated and are not
reflective of credit risk, pertaining to derivative financial instruments
(excluding

the Company's guaranteed separate account derivative investments), totaled $6.2
billion and $6.5 billion ($3.9 billion and $4.6 billion related to the Company's
investments, $2.3 billion and $1.9 billion on the Company's liabilities) as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

(1) Inverse floaters are variations of collateralized mortgage obligations
(CMO's) for which the coupon rates move inversely with an index rate such as the
London Interbank Offered Rate (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, the Company uses a variety of derivative instruments,
primarily interest rate swaps, caps and floors.
(2) As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, approximately 5% and 44% ,
respectively, of the notional futures contracts expire within one year.
(3) As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, approximately 11% and 16%,
respectively, of foreign currency swaps expire within one year.
(4) Deferred gains and losses on anticipatory transactions are included in
the carrying value of fixed maturities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At
the time of the ultimate purchase, they are reflected as a basis adjustment to
the purchased asset. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had no
deferred gains for interest rate swaps. During 1998, $1.5 in deferred gains were
basis adjusted.

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107 "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires
disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments. For certain
financial instruments where quoted market prices are not available, other
independent valuation techniques and assumptions are used. Because considerable
judgment is used, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of amounts that
could be realized in a current market exchange. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain
financial instruments from disclosure, including insurance contracts. Hartford
Life Insurance Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating
the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
Fair value for fixed maturities and marketable equity securities
approximates those quotations published by applicable stock exchanges or
received from other reliable sources.
For policy loans, carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Fair value for other invested assets primarily consist of partnerships and
trusts that are based on external market valuations from partnership and trust
management as well as mortgage loans where carrying amounts approximate fair
value.
Other policyholder funds fair value information is determined by estimating
future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments, including swaps, caps,
floors, futures, options and forward commitments, is determined using a pricing
model which is validated through periodic comparison to dealer quoted prices.
The carrying amount and fair values of Hartford Life Insurance Company's
financial instruments as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

5. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintained separate account assets and
liabilities totaling $90.3 billion and $69.1 billion as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively, which are reported at fair value. Separate account assets,
which are segregated from other investments, reflect two categories of risk
assumption: non-guaranteed separate accounts totaling $80.6 billion and $58.6
billion as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, wherein the policyholder
assumes the investment risk, and guaranteed separate accounts totaling $9.7 and
$10.5 billion as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, wherein Hartford
Life Insurance Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or
account value to the policyholder. Included in non-guaranteed separate account
assets were policy loans totaling $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net investment income (including net realized
capital 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 and other revenues were $908, $699 and $538
in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The guaranteed separate accounts include
fixed market value adjusted (MVA) individual annuity and modified guaranteed
life insurance. The average credited interest rate on these contracts was 6.6%
and 6.5% as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The assets that support
these liabilities were comprised of $9.5 billion and $10.2 billion in fixed
maturities as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The portfolios are
segregated from other investments and are managed to minimize liquidity and
interest rate risk. In order to minimize the risk of disintermediation
associated with early withdrawals, fixed MVA 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 $40 and $119 in carrying value and $3.5 billion and
$3.0 billion in notional amounts as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

</TABLE>
A significant percentage of the consolidated statutory surplus is
permanently reinvested or is subject to various state regulatory restrictions
which limit the payment of dividends without prior approval. The total amount of
statutory dividends which may be paid by the insurance subsidiaries of the
Company in 1999 is estimated to be $168.
Hartford Life Insurance Company and its domestic insurance subsidiaries
prepare their statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting
practices prescribed by the State of Connecticut. Prescribed statutory
accounting practices include publications of the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners, as well as state laws, regulations, and general
administrative rules.
7. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's employees are included in the 1997
Hartford Life, Inc. Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan"), which was adopted during
the second quarter of 1997. Under the Plan, options granted may be either
non-qualified options or incentive stock options qualifying under Section 422A
of the Internal Revenue Code. The aggregate number of shares of Class A Common
Stock which may be awarded in any one year shall be subject to an annual limit.
The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock which may be granted under
the Plan in each year shall be 1.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares
of Hartford Life Class A Common Stock and treasury stock as reported in the
Annual Report on Hartford Life's Form 10-K for the preceding year plus unused
portions of such limit from prior years. In addition, no more than 5 million
shares of Class A Common Stock shall be cumulatively available for awards of
incentive stock options under the Plan, and no more than 20% of the total number
of shares on a cumulative basis shall be available for restricted stock and
performance shares.
All options granted have an exercise price equal to the market price of
Hartford Life's stock on the date of grant and an option's maximum term is ten
years. Certain nonperformance based options become exercisable upon the
attainment of specified market price appreciation of Hartford Life's common
shares or at seven years after the date of grant, while the remaining
nonperformance based options become exercisable over a three year period
commencing with the date of grant.
Also included in the Plan are long-term performance awards which become
payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals achieved over a three
year period.
During the second quarter of 1997, Hartford Life established the Hartford
Life, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Under this plan, eligible
employees of Hartford Life and the Company may purchase Class A Common Stock of
Hartford Life at a 15% discount from the lower of the market price at the
beginning or end of the quarterly offering period. Hartford Life may sell up to
2,700,000 shares of stock to eligible employees. Hartford Life sold 121,943 and
54,316 shares under the ESPP in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The weighted
average fair value of the discount under the ESPP was $13.80 per share in 1998
and $9.63 per share in 1997.

HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES F-15
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT AND SAVINGS PLANS
(a) PENSION PLANS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's employees are included in The Hartford'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. The Company'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, as amended, and the
maximum amount that can be deducted for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
Generally, pension costs are funded through the purchase of the Company's group
pension contracts. The cost to the Company was approximately $6 in 1998 and $5
in both 1997 and 1996.
The Company also provides, through The Hartford, certain health care and
life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. A substantial portion of
the Company's employees may become eligible for these benefits upon retirement.
The Company'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. The Company 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 The
Hartford, was immaterial to the results of operations for 1998, 1997 and 1996.
The assumed rate in the per capita cost of health care (the health care
trend rate) was 7.8% for 1998, decreasing ratably to 5.0% in the year 2003.
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 covered employees.
(b) INVESTMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN
Substantially all employees of the Company are eligible to participate in
The Hartford's Investment and Savings Plan. Under this plan, designated
contributions, which may be invested in Class A Common Stock of Hartford Life or
certain other investments, are matched, up to 3% of compensation, by the
Company. The cost to Hartford Life Insurance Company for the above-mentioned
plan was approximately $4 and $2 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
9. REINSURANCE
Hartford Life Insurance Company cedes insurance to other insurers, including
its parent, HLA, in order to limit its maximum loss. Such transfer does not
relieve the Company of its primary liability. The Company also assumes insurance
from other insurers. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could
result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition
of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk.
Net premiums and other considerations were comprised of the following:

The Company ceded approximately $128, $76 and $100 of group life premium to
HLA in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing $38.4 billion, $33.6
billion and $33.3 billion of insurance in force, respectively. The Company ceded
$383, $339 and $318 of accident and health premium to HLA in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The Company assumed $82, $89 and $101 of premium in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively, representing $7.4 billion, $8.2 billion and $8.5
billion of individual life insurance in force, respectively, from HLA.
Life reinsurance recoveries, which reduce death and other benefits,
approximated $97, $158 and $140 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
Hartford Life Insurance Company has no significant reinsurance-related
concentrations of credit risk.
10. INCOME TAX
Hartford Life and The Hartford have entered into a tax sharing agreement
under which each member in the consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return will
make payments between them such that, with respect to any period, the amount of
taxes to be paid by the Company, subject to certain adjustments, generally will
be determined as though the Company were filing separate Federal, state and
local income tax returns.
As long as The Hartford continues to own at least 80% of the combined voting
power and 80% of the value of the outstanding capital stock of Hartford Life,
the Company will be included for Federal income tax purposes in the affiliated
group of which The Hartford is the common parent. It is the intention of The
Hartford and its non-life subsidiaries to file a single consolidated Federal
income tax return. The life insurance companies will file a separate
consolidated federal income tax return. The Company's effective tax rate was
35%, 36% and 35% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

</TABLE>
Hartford Life Insurance Company had a current tax payable of $65 and $64 as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
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, based on current tax law,
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, 1998 was $104.
11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions of the Company with HA&I and its affiliates relate principally
to tax settlements, reinsurance, insurance coverage, rental and service fees,
payment of dividends and capital contributions. In addition, certain affiliated
insurance companies purchased group annuity contracts from the Company to fund
pension costs and claim annuities to settle casualty claims. Substantially all
general insurance expenses related to the Company, including rent and employee
benefit plan expenses, are initially paid by The Hartford. Direct expenses are
allocated to the Company using specific identification, and indirect expenses
are allocated using other applicable methods. Indirect expenses include those
for corporate areas which, depending on type, are allocated based on either a
percentage of direct expenses or on utilization. Indirect expenses allocated to
the Company by The Hartford were $47, $34 and $40 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Management believes that the methods used are reasonable.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
(a) LITIGATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company is involved in pending and threatened
litigation in the normal course of its business in which claims for monetary and
punitive damages have been asserted. Although there can be no assurances, at the
present time the Company does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising
from such pending or threatened litigation, after consideration of provisions
made for potential losses and costs of defense, will have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition or operating results of the Company.
(b) GUARANTY FUNDS
Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state
insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance
companies to policyholders and claimants. Recent regulatory actions against
certain large life insurers encountering financial difficulty have prompted
various state insurance guaranty associations to begin assessing life insurance
companies for the deemed losses. Most of these laws do provide, however, that an
assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's solvency
and further provide annual limits on such assessments. Part of the assessments
paid by the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to these laws may be used as
credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes. The Company paid guaranty
fund assessments of approximately $9, $15 and $11 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, of which $4, $4 and $5, respectively, were estimated to be
creditable against premium taxes.
(c) LEASES
The rent paid to Hartford Fire for space occupied by the Company was $7 in
both 1998 and 1997 and $3 in 1996. Future minimum rental commitments are as
follows:

Rental expense is recognized on a level basis over the term of the primary
sublease, which expires on December 31, 2009, and amounted to approximately $9
in both 1998 and 1997 and $8 in 1996.
(d) TAX MATTERS
Hartford Life's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the
Internal Revenue Service. Hartford Life is currently under audit for the years
1993 through 1995, with the audit for the years 1996 through 1997 expected to
begin during early 1999. Management believes that adequate provision has been
made in the financial statements for items that may result from tax examinations
and other tax related matters.
(e) INVESTMENTS
As of December 31, 1998, Hartford Life Insurance Company held $71 of asset
backed securities securitized and serviced by Commercial Financial Services,
Inc. (CFS) of which $50 were included in the Company's general account and $21
in the Company's guaranteed separate account. In October 1998, the Company
became aware of allegations of improper activities at CFS. On December 11, 1998,
CFS filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As of December
31, 1998, CFS continues to service the asset backed securities, which remain
current on payments of principal and interest, however, the Company does not
expect to recover all of its principal investment. Based upon information
available in the fourth quarter 1998, the Company recognized a $25, after-tax,
writedown related to its holdings in CFS of which $18 was related to the
Company's general account assets. The ultimate realizable amount depends on the
outcome of the bankruptcy of CFS and these estimates are therefore subject to
material change as new information becomes available. The Company is presently
unable to determine the amount of further potential loss, if any, related to the
securities.
13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", during the fourth quarter of
1998. This statement replaces SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of
a Business Enterprise", and establishes new standards for reporting information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
This statement requires that the reportable operating segments be based on the
Company's internal operations. On this basis, Hartford Life Insurance Company's
segments represent strategic operations which offer different products and
services as well as serve different markets.
Hartford Life Insurance Company is organized into three reportable operating
segments which include Investment Products, Individual Life and Corporate Owned
Life Insurance (COLI). Investment Products offers individual variable annuities,
fixed market value adjusted (MVA) annuities and fixed and variable immediate
annuities, mutual funds, deferred compensation and retirement plan services,
structured settlement contracts and other special purpose annuity contracts.
Individual Life sells a variety of life insurance products, including variable
life, universal life, interest-sensitive whole life and term life insurance.
COLI primarily offers variable products used by employers to fund non-qualified
benefits or other post-employment benefit obligations as well as leveraged COLI.
The Company includes in "Other" corporate items not directly allocable to any of
its reportable operating segments as well as certain employee benefit products
including group life and disability insurance that is directly written by the
Company and is substantially ceded to its parent, HLA.
The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2.
Hartford Life Insurance Company evaluates performance of its segments based on
revenues, net income and the segment's return on allocated capital. The Company
charges direct operating expenses to the appropriate segment and allocates the
majority of indirect expenses to the segments based on an intercompany expense
arrangement. Intersegment revenues are not significant and primarily occur
between corporate and the operating segments. These amounts include interest
income on allocated surplus and the amortization of net realized capital gains
and losses through net investment income utilizing the duration of the segment's
investment portfolios. The Company's revenues are primarily derived from
customers within the United States. The Company's long-lived assets primarily
consist of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred tax assets from within
the United States. The following table outlines summarized financial information
concerning the Company's segments. The information for 1997 and 1996 has been
restated to conform to the 1998 presentation.

Item 26. Persons Controlled By or Under Common Control with the Depositor or
Registrant
Filed herewith as Exhibit 16.
Item 27. Number of Contract Owners
As of January 31, 2000, there are 245,333 Contract Owners.
Item 28. Indemnification
Under Section 33-772 of the Connecticut General Statutes, unless
limited by its certificate of incorporation, the Registrant must
indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party
because he is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable
expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.
The Registrant may indemnify an individual made a party to a
proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred
in the proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no
reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. Conn. Gen. Stat. Section
33-771(a). Additionally, pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. Section 33-776,
the Registrant may indemnify officers and employees or agents for
liability incurred and for any expenses to which they become subject
by reason of being or having been employees or officers of the
Registrant. Connecticut law does not prescribe standards for the
indemnification of officers, employees and agents and expressly states
that their indemnification may be broader than the right of
indemnification granted to directors.
The foregoing statements are specifically made subject to the detailed
provisions of Section 33-770 et seq.
Notwithstanding the fact that Connecticut law obligates the Registrant
to indemnify a only a director that was successful on the merits in a
suit, under Article VIII, Section 1 of the Registrant's bylaws, the
Registrant must indemnify both directors and officers of the
Registrant for (1) any claims and liabilities to which they become
subject by reason of being or having been a directors or officers of
the company and legal and (2) other expenses incurred in defending
against such claims, in each case, to the extent such is consistent
with statutory provisions.
Additionally, the directors and officers of Hartford and Hartford
Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") are covered under a
directors and officers liability insurance policy issued to The
Hartford Financial Services 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.
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, or otherwise, 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.

RE: SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
FILE NO. 333-69489
Dear Sir/Madam:
I have acted as General Counsel to Hartford Life Insurance Company (the
"Company"), a Connecticut insurance company, and Hartford Life Insurance Company
Separate Account Two (the "Account") in Connecticut with the registration of an
indefinite amount of securities in the form of variable annuity contracts (the
"Contracts") with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. I have examined such documents (including the Form N-4
registration statement) and reviewed such questions of law as I considered
necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such examination and review, it
is my opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing as a
stock life insurance company under the laws of the State of Connecticut
and is duly authorized by the Insurance Department of the State of
Connecticut to issue the Contracts.
2. The Account is a duly authorized and existing separate account
established pursuant to the provisions of Section 38a-433 of the
Connecticut Statutes.
3. To the extent so provided under the Contracts, that portion of the assets
of the Account equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with
respect to the Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising
out of any other business that the Company may conduct.
<PAGE>
Board of Directors

4. The Contracts, when issued as contemplated by the Form N-4 Registration
Statement, will constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations
of the Company.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form N-4
registration statement for the Contracts and the Account.
Sincerely yours,
