This prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase
Hartford Leaders Plus variable annuity. Please read it carefully.
We call this annuity Hartford Leaders Plus variable annuity because each time
you make a Premium Payment, Hartford will credit your Contract Value with a
Payment Enhancement. The expenses for this Annuity may be higher than the
expenses for an annuity without the Payment Enhancements. The Payment
Enhancements may, over time, be more than offset by the higher expenses.
The Hartford Leaders Plus variable annuity is a contract between you and
Hartford Life Insurance Company where you agree to make at least one Premium
Payment to us and we agree to make a series of Annuity Payouts 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 Payouts.
x Variable, because the value of your Annuity will fluctuate with the
performance of the underlying funds.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the time you purchase your Annuity, you allocate your Premium Payment 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 funds 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 Funds 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 Funds are listed
below:
- - AMERICAN FUNDS ASSET ALLOCATION SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases Class 2 shares of

You may also allocate some or all of your Premium Payment to the "Fixed

period from the time the Premium Payment is made. Premium Payments allocated to
the Fixed Accumulation Feature are not segregated from our company assets like
the assets of the Separate Account.

ACCOUNT: Any of the Sub-Accounts or Fixed Accumulation Feature.
ACCUMULATION UNITS: If you allocate your Premium Payment to any of the
Sub-Accounts, we will convert those payments into Accumulation Units in the
selected Sub-Accounts. Accumulation Units are valued at the end of each
Valuation Day and are used to calculate the value of your Contract prior to the
Annuity Calculation Date.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE: The daily price of Accumulation Units on any Valuation
Day.
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF THE COMPANY: Our location and overnight mailing address

amount of any partial Surrenders since that anniversary.

or upon full Surrender if the Contract Value at either of those times is less
than $50,000. The charge is deducted proportionately from each Account in which
you are invested.

without paying a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. This amount is

CODE: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
COMMUTED VALUE: The present value of any remaining guaranteed Annuity Payouts.
This amount is calculated using the Assumed Investment Return for variable

a Contingent Annuitant before the original Annuitant's death.
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE: The deferred sales charge that may apply when
you make a full or partial Surrender.
CONTRACT: The individual Annuity Contract and any endorsements or riders. Group

the Contract Anniversary falls on a Non-Valuation Day, then the Contract
Anniversary will be the next Valuation Day.
CONTRACT VALUE: The total value of the Accounts on any Valuation Day.

MAXIMUM ANNIVERSARY VALUE: This is the highest Anniversary Value prior to the
deceased's 81st birthday or the date of death, if earlier.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR: This is used to measure the investment performance of a
Sub-Account from one Valuation Day to the next, and is also used to calculate
your Annuity Payout amount.
NON-VALUATION DAY: Any day the New York Stock Exchange is not open for trading.
PAYEE: The person or party you designate to receive Annuity Payouts.
PAYMENT ENHANCEMENT: An amount that Hartford credits your Contract Value at the

determined on any day by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units by the

The purpose of the Fee Table and Examples is to assist you in understanding
various costs and expenses that you will pay directly or indirectly. The Fee
Table and Examples reflect expenses of the Separate Account and underlying
Funds. We will deduct any Premium Taxes that apply.
The Examples should not be considered a representation of past or future
expenses and actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. The Annual
Maintenance Fee has been reflected in the Examples by a method intended to show
the "average" impact of the Annual Maintenance Fee on an investment in the
Separate Account. We do this by approximating an "average" 0.06% annual charge.

(1) These expenses are annualized. The Fund began operations on April 30, 1998.
(2) These expenses are estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
(3) "Management Fees" include fund administration fees. Because Class 2 shares
are new, figures (other than rule 12b-1 fees) are based on experience of
each Fund's Class 1 shares in the most recent fiscal year; Rule 12b-1 fees
are based on estimates.
(4) Figures are estimates for the current fiscal year. The fund's manager is
contractually obligated to limit management fees and other expenses so that
Total Fund Operating Expenses will not exceed .75% during the current fiscal
year. Without these limitations, estimated Other Expenses and Total
Operating Expenses would be as follows:

(6) Each Series has an expense offset arrangement which reduces the Series'
custodian fee based upon the amount of cash maintained by the Series with
its custodian and dividend disbursing agent. Each Series may enter into
other such arrangements and directed brokerage arrangements, which would
also have the effect of reducing the Series' expenses. Expenses do not take
into account these expense reductions, and are therefore higher than the
actual expenses of the Series.
(7) "Management Fees" include fund administration fees. The fund's adviser or
administrator has entered into an arrangement with Hartford Life under which
Hartford Life is compensated for services it provides to the fund.

HIGHLIGHTS
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 $10,000 and subsequent Premium Payments must be at least $500, unless you
take advantage of our InvestEase-Registered Trademark- Program or are part of
certain retirement plans.
- For a limited time, usually within ten days after you receive your Contract,
you may cancel your Annuity without paying a Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge. You may bear the investment risk for your Premium Payment prior to
our receipt of your request for cancellation.
WHAT ARE PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS?
Each time you make a Premium Payment, Hartford will credit your Contract Value
with a Payment Enhancement. The amount of the Payment Enhancement is based on
your cumulative Premium Payments.
Hartford has developed a variety of variable annuities to help you meet your
goals. We issue variable annuities that do not have Payment Enhancements, but
that do have lower Mortality and Expense Risk Charges and shorter Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge periods than this annuity. When you talk to your financial
adviser, you should make sure that an annuity with a Payment Enhancement is a
suitable investment for you.
WHAT TYPE OF SALES CHARGE WILL I PAY?
You don't pay a sales charge when you purchase your Annuity. We may charge you a
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge when you partially or fully Surrender your
Annuity. The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will depend on the length of time
the Premium Payment you made has been in your Annuity. Each Premium Payment has
its own Contingent Deferred Sales Charge period. The Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge is a percentage of the amount surrendered and is equal to:

- ---------------------------------

- ---------------------------------
</TABLE>
You won't be charged a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on:
x The Annual Withdrawal Amount
x Premium Payments that have been in your Annuity for more than seven years
x Payment Enhancements or earnings
x Distributions made due to death
x Most payments we make to you as part of your Annuity Payout
IS THERE AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE?
We deduct this $30.00 fee each year on your Contract Anniversary or when you
fully 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 three other 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 1.50% of your Contract Value invested in the Funds.
The second type of charge is the fee you pay for the Separate Account. This
charge is:
An administrative charge is .15% per annum of the Contract Value held in the
Separate Account.
The third type of charge is the fee you pay for the Funds. Please see the Annual
Fund Operating Expenses table for more complete information and the Funds'
prospectuses accompanying this prospectus.
If you elect the Optional Death Benefit, we will subtract an additional charge
on a daily basis until we begin to make Annuity Payouts that is equal to an
annual charge of .15% of your Contract Value invested in the Funds.
CAN I TAKE OUT ANY OF MY MONEY?
You may Surrender all or part of the amounts you have invested at any time
before we start making Annuity Payouts. Once Annuity Payouts begin, you may take
full or partial Surrenders under the Payments for a Period Certain, Life Annuity
with Payments for a Period Certain or the Joint and Last Survivor Annuity with
Payments for a Period Certain Annuity Options, but only if you selected the
variable dollar amount Annuity Payouts.
- You may have to pay income tax on the money you take out and, if you
Surrender before you are age 59 1/2, you may have to pay an income tax
penalty.
- You may have to pay a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on the money you
Surrender.
WILL HARTFORD PAY A DEATH BENEFIT?
There is a Death Benefit if the Contract Owner, joint owner or the Annuitant die
before we begin to make Annuity Payouts. The Death Benefit will be calculated as
of the date we receive a
<PAGE>
12 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
certified death certificate or other legal document acceptable to us. The Death
Benefit amount will remain invested in the Sub-Accounts according to your last
instructions and will fluctuate with the performance of the underlying Funds.
The Death Benefit is the greater of:
- - The total Premium Payments you have made to us minus the dollar amount of any
partial Surrenders, or
- - The Contract Value of your Annuity minus any Payment Enhancements credited in
the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit, or,
- - Your Maximum Anniversary Value, which is described below, minus any Payment
Enhancements credited in the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the
Death Benefit.
The Maximum Anniversary Value is based on a series of calculations on Contract
Anniversaries of Contract Values, Premium Payments, Payment Enhancements and
partial Surrenders. We will calculate an Anniversary Value for each Contract
Anniversary prior to the deceased's 81st birthday or date of death, whichever is
earlier. The Anniversary Value is equal to the Contract Value as of a Contract
Anniversary, increased by the dollar amount of any Premium Payments and Payment
Enhancements 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 at an additional charge, the Death
Benefit will be the greater of:
- - the total Premium Payments you have made to us minus the dollar amount of any
partial Surrenders;
- - the Contract Value of your Annuity minus any Payment Enhancements created in
the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit,
- - your Maximum Anniversary Value, minus any Payment Enhancements credited in the
12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit;
- - your Interest Accumulation Value.
The Optional Death Benefit may not be available if the Contract Owner or
Annuitant is age 75 or older. The Optional Death Benefit Rider is not available
in the states of Washington or New York.
The Optional Death Benefit calculation will be different if you elect to add the
Optional Death Benefit after you purchase your Annuity.
WHAT ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?
When it comes time for us to make Annuity Payouts, you may choose one of the
following Annuity Payout Options: Life Annuity, Life Annuity with Cash Refund,
Life Annuity with Payments for a Period Certain, Joint and Last Survivor Life,
Joint and Last Survivor Life with Payments for a Period Certain and Payment For
a Period Certain. We may make other Annuity Payout Options available at any
time.
You must begin to take Annuity Payouts by the Annuitant's 90th birthday or the
end of the 10th Contract Year, whichever is later, unless you elect a later date
to begin receiving payments subject to the laws and regulations then in effect
and our approval. In Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon or Alabama, you must begin
to take Annuity Payouts by the Annuitant's 90th birthday or the end of the 12th
Contract Year. If you do not tell us what Annuity Payout Option you want before
that time, we will make payments under Life Annuity with a 10 year Period
Certain Annuity Option.

MIXED AND SHARED FUNDING -- Shares of the Funds may be 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 policies, 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 underlying 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
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 15
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Payouts 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
made available to existing Contract Owners as we determine 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 Investment Company Act of 1940 (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 any changes in the Contract necessary or appropriate to reflect the
substitution or change. If we decide that it is in the best interest of the
Contract 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.
THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW: THIS PORTION OF THE PROSPECTUS RELATING
TO THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE IS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 ("1933 ACT") AND THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE IS NOT REGISTERED AS AN
INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE 1940 ACT. THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE OR ANY OF
ITS INTERESTS ARE NOT 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 FEATURE. THE FOLLOWING
DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS REGARDING THE
ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF DISCLOSURE.
Premium Payments, Payment Enhancements and Contract Values allocated to the
Fixed Accumulation Feature become a part of our General Account assets. We
invest the assets of the General Account according to the laws governing the
investments of insurance company General Accounts.
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 to change the rate subject only to
applicable state insurance law. We may credit interest at a rate in excess of 3%
per year. We will periodically publish the Fixed Accumulation Feature interest
rates currently in effect. There is no specific formula for determining 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, the Fixed Accumulation Feature
interest rates may vary from other states.
IMPORTANT: ANY INTEREST CREDITED TO AMOUNTS YOU ALLOCATE TO THE FIXED
ACCUMULATION FEATURE IN EXCESS OF 3% PER YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED AT OUR SOLE
DISCRETION. YOU ASSUME THE RISK THAT INTEREST CREDITED TO THE FIXED ACCUMULATION
FEATURE MAY NOT EXCEED THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE OF 3% FOR ANY GIVEN YEAR.
From time to time, we may credit increased interest rates under certain programs
established in our sole discretion.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PLUS ("DCA PLUS") PROGRAMS -- Currently, you may enroll in
a special pre-authorized transfer program known as our DCA Plus Program (the
"Program"). Under this Program, Contract Owners who enroll may allocate a
minimum of $5,000 of their Premium Payment into the Program (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
<PAGE>
16 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transfer Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 6 months and all Premium
Payments and accrued interest must be transferred from the Program 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 Premium Payments and 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.
The pre-authorized transfers will begin within 15 days of receipt of the Program
payment provided we receive 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, 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.
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, you will
no longer receive the Program interest rate and unless we receive instructions
to the contrary, the amounts remaining in the Program may accrue the interest
rate currently in effect for the Fixed Accumulation Feature.
We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or amend the Program or any other
interest rate program we establish. 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.
You may only have one DCA program in place at one time. There is no charge for
Dollar Cost Averaging.
THE CONTRACT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PURCHASES AND CONTRACT VALUE
WHAT TYPES OF CONTRACTS ARE AVAILABLE?
The Contract is an individual or group tax-deferred variable annuity contract.
It is designed for retirement planning purposes and may be purchased by any
individual, group or trust, including:
- - Any trustee or custodian for a retirement plan qualified under
Sections 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code;
- - Annuity purchase plans adopted by public school systems and certain tax-exempt
organizations according to Section 403(b) of the Code;
- - Individual Retirement Annuities adopted according to Section 408 of the Code;
- - Employee pension plans established for employees by a state, a political
subdivision of a state, or an agency of either a state or a political
subdivision of a state, and
- - Certain eligible deferred compensation plans as defined in Section 457 of the
Code.
The examples above represent Qualified Contracts, as defined by the Code. In
addition, individuals and trusts can also purchase Contracts that are not part
of a tax qualified retirement plan. These are known as Non-Qualified Contracts.
HOW DO I PURCHASE A CONTRACT?
You may purchase a Contract by completing and submitting an application or an
order request along with an initial Premium Payment. For most Contracts, the
minimum Premium Payment is $10,000. For additional Premium Payments, the minimum
Premium Payment is $500. Under certain situations, we may allow smaller Premium
Payments, for example, if you enroll in our InvestEase(-Registered Trademark-)
Program or are part of certain tax qualified retirement plans. Prior approval is
required for Premium Payments of $1,000,000 or more. In Maryland, Massachusetts,
Oregon and Alabama, Premium Payments may only be made during the first Contract
Year.
You and your Annuitant must not be older than age 85 on the date that your
Contract is issued. You must be of legal age in the state where the Contract is
being purchased or a guardian must act on your behalf.
HOW ARE PREMIUM PAYMENTS APPLIED TO MY CONTRACT?
Your initial Premium Payment will be invested within two Valuation Days of our
receipt of a properly completed application or an order request and the Premium
Payment. If we receive your subsequent Premium Payment before the close of the
New York Stock Exchange, it will be priced on the same Valuation Day. If we
receive your Premium Payment after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, it
will be invested on the next Valuation Day. If we receive your Premium Payment
on a Non-Valuation Day, the amount will be invested on the next Valuation Day.
Unless we receive new instructions, we will invest the Premium Payment based on
your last allocation instructions. We will send you a confirmation when we
invest your Premium Payment.
If the request or other information accompanying the Premium Payment is
incomplete when received, we will hold the money in a non-interest bearing
account for up to five Valuation Days while we try to obtain complete
information. If we cannot obtain the information within five Valuation Days, we
will either return the Premium Payment and explain why the Premium Payment could
not be processed or keep the Premium Payment if you authorize us to keep it
until you provide the necessary information.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT ARE PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS?
Each time you make a Premium Payment to your Contract, Hartford will credit your
Contract Value with a Payment Enhancement. The Payment Enhancement is based on
your cumulative Premium Payments and is equal to:
x 3% of the Premium Payment if your cumulative Premium Payments are less than
$50,000.
x 4% of the Premium Payment if your cumulative Premium Payments are $50,000 or
more.
If you make a subsequent Premium Payment that increases your cumulative Premium
Payments to $50,000 or more, Hartford will credit an additional Payment
Enhancement to your Contract Value equal to 1% of your prior Premium Payments.
The Payment Enhancements will be allocated to the same Accounts and in the same
proportion as your Premium Payment.
DO I ALWAYS GET TO KEEP MY PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS?
You won't always get to keep the Payment Enhancements credited to your Contract
Value. Hartford will take back or "recapture" some or all of the Payment
Enhancements under certain circumstances:
- - Hartford will take back the Payment Enhancements we credit to your Contract
Value if you cancel your Contract during the "Right to Examine" period
described in your Contract.
- - Hartford will deduct any Payment Enhancements credited to your Contract Value
in the 24 months prior to the Annuity Calculation Date when we determine the
amount available for Annuity Payouts.
- - Hartford will also exclude any Payment Enhancements credited to your Contract
Value in the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit when
determining the Death Benefit payable.
- - Hartford will deduct all Payment Enhancements credited during a period of
eligible confinement to a hospital, nursing home or other qualified long-term
care facility under the Waiver of Sales Charge Rider if you request a full or
partial Surrender.
DO PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS ALWAYS BENEFIT ME?
Not all of the time. Hartford issues a variety of variable annuities designed to
meet different retirement planning goals. Some of our variable annuities have no
Payment Enhancement, some have lower mortality and expense risk charges and
still others have no Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. You and your financial
adviser should decide if you may be better off in certain circumstances with one
of our other variable annuities. You and your financial adviser should consider
some of the following factors when determining which annuity is appropriate for
you:
- - The length of time that you plan to continue to own your Contract.
- - The frequency, amount and timing of any partial Surrenders.
- - The amount of your Premium Payments.
- - When you plan to annuitize your Contract.
- - Whether you might experience an event that results in the loss of some or all
of the Payment Enhancements.
We recapture the Payment Enhancements credited in the 24 months prior to the
Annuity Calculation Date, in the 12 months prior to the date we receive notice
of death, and under certain circumstances, if you are confined to a nursing
home. It might not be beneficial to purchase this Annuity if you know that you
will experience an event that will require Hartford to take back these Payment
Enhancements. In addition, although this Annuity's fees and charges are lower
than many annuities that add a "bonus" or Payment Enhancement, the expenses are
higher than some variable annuities without a Payment Enhancement. Over the life
of the Annuity, the Payment Enhancements you receive may be more than offset by
the higher expenses.
CAN I CANCEL MY CONTRACT AFTER I PURCHASE IT?
We want you to be satisfied with the Contract you have purchased. We urge you to
closely examine its provisions. If for any reason you are not satisfied with
your Contract, simply return it within ten days after you receive it with a
written request for cancellation that indicates your tax-withholding
instructions. In some states, you may be allowed more time to cancel your
Contract. We will not deduct any Contingent Deferred Sales Charges during this
time. We may require additional information, including a signature guarantee,
before we can cancel your Contract.
You bear the investment risk from the time the Contract is issued until we
receive your complete cancellation request.
The amount we pay you upon cancellation depends on the requirements of the state
where you purchased your Contract, the method of purchase, the type of Contract
you purchased and your age. Hartford will not pay you the Payment Enhancements
credited to your Contract Value if you elect to cancel your Contract.
HOW IS THE VALUE OF MY CONTRACT CALCULATED BEFORE THE ANNUITY CALCULATION DATE?
The Contract Value is the sum of all Accounts. There are two things that affect
your Sub-Account value: (1) the number of Accumulation Units and (2) the
Accumulation Unit Value. The Sub-Account value is determined by multiplying the
number of Accumulation Units by the Accumulation Unit Value. Therefore, on any
Valuation Day your Contract Value reflects the investment performance of the
Sub-Accounts and will fluctuate with the performance of the underlying Funds.
When Premium Payments and Payment Enhancements are credited to your
Sub-Accounts, they are converted into Accumulation Units by dividing the sum of
your Premium Payments and Payment Enhancements, 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 a
<PAGE>
18 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub-Account, settling a Death Benefit claim or by annuitizing your Contract.
To determine the current Accumulation Unit Value, we take the prior Valuation
Day's Accumulation Unit Value and multiply it by the Net Investment Factor for
the current Valuation Day.
The Net Investment Factor is used to measure the investment performance of a
Sub-Account from one Valuation Day to the next. The Net Investment Factor for
each Sub-Account equals:
- - The net asset value per share of each Fund held in the Sub-Account at the end
of the current Valuation Day divided by
- - The net asset value per share of each Fund held in the Sub-Account at the end
of the prior Valuation Day; minus
- - The daily mortality and expense risk charge and any other applicable charges,
including administrative charges or the Optional Death Benefit Charge,
adjusted for the number of days in the period.
We will send you a statement in each calendar quarter, which tells you how many
Accumulation Units you have, their value and your total Contract Value.
CAN I TRANSFER FROM ONE SUB-ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER?
TRANSFERS BETWEEN SUB-ACCOUNTS -- You may transfer from one Sub-Account to
another before and after the Annuity Commencement Date at no extra charge. Your
transfer request will be processed on the day that it is received as long as it
is received on a Valuation Day before the close of the New York Stock Exchange.
Otherwise, your request will be processed on the following Valuation Day. We
will send you a confirmation when we process your transfer. You are responsible
for verifying transfer confirmations and promptly advising us of any errors
within 30 days of receiving the confirmation.
SUB-ACCOUNT TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS -- We reserve the right to limit the number of
transfers to 12 per Contract Year, with no transfers occurring on consecutive
Valuation Days. We also have the right to restrict transfers if we believe that
the transfers could have an adverse effect on other Contract Owners. In all
states except New York, Florida, Maryland and Oregon, we may:
- - Require a minimum time period between each transfer,
- - Limit the dollar amount that may be transferred on any one Valuation Day, and
- - Not accept transfer requests from an agent acting under a power of attorney
for more than one Contract Owner.
We also have a restriction in place that involves individuals who act under a
power of attorney for multiple Contract Owners. If the value of the Contract
Owners' Accounts add up to more than $2 million, we will not accept transfer
instructions from the power of attorney unless the power of attorney has entered
into a Third Party Transfer Services Agreement with us.
Some states may have different restrictions.
FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE TRANSFERS -- During each Contract Year, you may make
transfers out of the Fixed Accumulation Feature to Sub-Accounts. All transfer
allocations must be in whole numbers (e.g., 1%). You may transfer either:
- - 30% of your total amount in the Fixed Accumulation Feature, or
- - An amount equal to the largest previous transfer.
These transfer limits do not include transfers done through Dollar Cost
Averaging or the DCA Plus Program.
If your interest rate renews at a rate at least 1% lower than your prior
interest rate, you may transfer an amount equal to up to 100% of the amount to
be invested at the renewal rate. You must make this transfer request within 60
days of being notified of the renewal rate.
FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS -- We reserve the right to
defer transfers from the Fixed Accumulation Feature for up to 6 months from the
date of your request. After any transfer, you must wait six months before moving
Sub-Account Values back to the Fixed Accumulation Feature.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS -- In most states, you can make transfers by calling us at
(800) 862-6668. Hartford, our agents or our affiliates are not responsible for
losses resulting from telephone requests that we believe are genuine. We will
use reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine,
including requiring that callers provide certain identification information and
recording all telephone transfer instructions. We reserve the right to suspend,
modify, or terminate telephone transfer privileges at any time.
POWER OF ATTORNEY -- You may authorize another person to make transfers on your
behalf by submitting a completed Power of Attorney form. Once we have the
completed form on file, we will accept transfer instructions, subject to our
transfer restrictions, from your designated third party until we receive new
instructions in writing from you. You will not be able to make transfers or
other changes to your Contract if you have authorized someone else to act under
a power of attorney.
CHARGES AND FEES
There are 6 charges and fees associated with the Contract and the Optional Death
Benefit Charge:
1. THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge covers some of the expenses relating to the
sale and distribution of the Contract, including commissions paid to registered
representatives and the cost of preparing sales literature and other promotional
activities.
We assess a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge when you request a full or partial
Surrender. The percentage of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is based on
how long your Premium Payments have been in the Contract. Each Premium Payment
has its own Contingent Deferred Sales Charge schedule. Premium Payments are
Surrendered in the order in which they
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 19
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
were received. The longer you leave your Premium Payments in the Contract, the
lower the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will be when you Surrender. The
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge assessed will not exceed the Premium Payments.
The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is a percentage of the amount Surrendered
and is equal to:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
NUMBER OF YEARS FROM CONTINGENT DEFERRED

<S> <C>
- -----------------------------------------

</TABLE>
________________________________________________________________________________
For example, you made an initial Premium Payment of $10,000 five years ago and
an additional Premium Payment of $20,000 one year ago. If you request a partial
withdrawal of $15,000 and you have not taken your Annual Withdrawal Amount for
the year, we will deduct a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge as follows.
- - Hartford will Surrender the Annual Withdrawal Amount which is equal to 10% of
your total Premium Payments or $3,000, without charging a Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge.
- - We will then Surrender the Premium Payments that have been in the Annuity the
longest.
- - That means we would Surrender the entire $10,000 initial Premium Payment and
deduct a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge of 7% on that amount or $700.00.
- - The remaining $2,000 will come from the additional Premium Payment made one
year ago and we will deduct a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge of 8% of the
$2,000 or $160.00.
- - The total Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is $860.00.
If you have any questions about these charges, please contact your financial
advisor or Hartford.
________________________________________________________________________________
THE FOLLOWING SURRENDERS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO A CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE:
- - ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT: During the first seven Contract Years, you may, each
Contract Year, take partial Surrenders up to 10% of the total Premium
Payments. If you do not take 10% one year, you may not take more than 10% the
next year. These amounts are different for Contracts issued to a Charitable
Remainder Trust.
- - SURRENDERS MADE FROM PREMIUM PAYMENTS AFTER THE SEVENTH CONTRACT YEAR. After
the seventh Contract Year, you may take the total of: (a) all of your
earnings, (b) all Premium Payments held in your Contract for more than seven
years, (c) Payment Enhancements credited for more than seven years, and
(d) 10% of Premium Payments made during the last seven years.
UNDER THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS, THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE IS WAIVED:
- - Upon eligible confinement as described in the Waiver of Sales Charge Rider. We
will waive any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge applicable to a partial or
full Surrender if you, the joint owner or the Annuitant, is confined for at
least 180 consecutive calendar days to a: (a) facility recognized as a general
hospital by the proper authority of the state in which it is located; or
(b) facility recognized as a general hospital by the Joint Commission on the
Accreditation of Hospitals; or (c) facility certified by Medicare as a
hospital or long-term care facility; or (d) nursing home licensed by the state
in which it is located and offers the services of a registered nurse 24 hours
a day. If you, the joint owner or the Annuitant is confined when you purchase
the Contract, this waiver is not available. For it to apply, you must:
(a) have owned the Contract continuously since it was issued, (b) provide
written proof of confinement satisfactory to us, and (c) request the 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 us
to determine if it is available for you. ONCE YOU ELECT THIS WAIVER, HARTFORD
WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY SUBSEQUENT PREMIUM PAYMENTS. IN ADDITION, IF YOU REQUEST A
FULL OR PARTIAL SURRENDER DURING CONFINEMENT, WE WILL DEDUCT FROM YOUR
CONTRACT VALUE ANY PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS CREDITED DURING THE TIME YOU WERE
CONFINED.
- - For Required Minimum Distributions. This allows Annuitants who are age 70 1/2
or older, 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 Contract without a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. All requests for
Required Minimum Distributions must be in writing.
THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO A CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE:
- - Upon death of the Annuitant or Contract Owner. No Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge will be deducted if the Annuitant or Contract Owner dies, unless the
Contract Owner is not a natural person (e.g. a trust).
- - Upon the commencement of Annuity Payouts. The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
is not deducted when we begin to make Annuity Payouts. We will charge a
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge if the Contract is fully or partially
Surrendered during the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge period under an
Annuity Payout Option which allows Surrenders.
<PAGE>
20 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - Upon cancellation during the Right to Cancel Period.
2. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
For assuming mortality and expense risks under the Contract, we deduct a daily
charge at an annual rate of 1.50% of Sub-Account Value (estimated at 0.95% for
mortality and 0.55% for expenses). The mortality and expense risk charge is
broken into charges for mortality risks and for an expense risk:
- - MORTALITY RISK -- There are two types of mortality risks that we assume, those
made while your Premium Payments are accumulating and those made once Annuity
Payouts have begun.
During the period your Premium Payments are accumulating, we are required to
cover any difference between the Death Benefit paid and the Surrender Value.
These differences may occur during periods of declining value or in periods
where the Contingent Deferred Sales Charges would have been applicable. The
risk that we bear during this period is that actual mortality rates, in
aggregate, may exceed expected mortality rates.
Once Annuity Payouts have begun, we may be required to make Annuity Payouts as
long as the Annuitant is living, regardless of how long the Annuitant lives.
We would be required to make these payments if the Payout Option chosen is the
Life Annuity, Life Annuity With Payments for a Period Certain or Joint and
Last Survivor Life Annuity Payout Option. The risk that we bear during this
period is that the actual mortality rates, in aggregate, may be lower than the
expected mortality rates.
- - EXPENSE RISK -- We also bear an expense risk that the Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges and the Annual Maintenance Fee collected before the Annuity
Commencement Date may not be enough to cover the actual cost of selling,
distributing and administering the Contract.
Although variable Annuity Payouts will fluctuate with the performance of the
underlying Fund selected, your Annuity Payouts will NOT be affected by (a) the
actual mortality experience of our Annuitants, or (b) our actual expenses if
they are greater than the deductions stated in the Contract. Because we cannot
be certain how long our Annuitants will live, we charge this percentage fee
based on the mortality tables currently in use. The mortality and expense risk
charge enables us to keep our commitments and to pay you as planned.
3. ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE
The Annual Maintenance Fee is a flat fee that is deducted from your Contract
Value to reimburse us for expenses relating to the administrative maintenance of
the Contract and the Accounts. The annual $30 charge is deducted on a Contract
Anniversary or when the Contract is fully Surrendered if the Contract Value at
either of those times is less than $50,000. The charge is deducted
proportionately from each Account in which you are invested.
WHEN IS THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE WAIVED?
We will waive the Annual Maintenance Fee if your Contract Value is $50,000 or
more on your Contract Anniversary or when you fully Surrender your Contract. In
addition, we will waive one Annual Maintenance Fee for Contract Owners who own
more than one Contract with a combined Contract Value between $50,000 and
$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 waivers to a total of six
Contracts. We also reserve the right to waive the Annual Maintenance Fee under
certain other conditions.
4. ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
For administration, we apply a daily charge at the rate of .15% per annum
against all Contract Values held in the Separate Account during both the
accumulation and annuity phases of the Contract. There is not necessarily a
relationship between the amount of administrative charge imposed on a given
Contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributable to that Contract;
expenses may be more or less than the charge.
5. PREMIUM TAXES
We deduct Premium Taxes, if required, by a state or other government agency.
Some states collect the taxes when Premium Payments are made; others collect
when Annuity Payouts begin. Since we pay Premium Taxes when they are required by
applicable law, we may deduct them from your Contract when we pay the taxes,
upon Surrender, or on the Annuity Calculation Date. The Premium Tax rate varies
by state or municipality. Currently, the maximum rate charged by any state is
3.5% and 4% in Puerto Rico.
6. CHARGES AGAINST THE FUNDS
The Separate Account purchases shares of the Funds at net asset value. The net
asset value of the Fund reflects investment advisory fees and administrative
expenses already deducted from the assets of the Funds. These charges are
described in the Funds' prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus.
OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT CHARGE -- If you elect the Optional Death Benefit, we
will subtract an additional charge on a daily basis until we begin to make
Annuity Payouts that is equal to an annual charge of .15% of your Contract Value
invested in the Funds.
PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS -- No specific charges are assessed to cover the expenses
of the Payment Enhancement. Rather, the combination of charges and fees within
the Annuity, including the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and the Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge, are set at a level sufficient to cover the cost of
offering the enhancements. As with all of its investment products, Hartford
expects to make a profit on the sale of these Annuities, however, there are no
additional profits inherent with the structure of this Annuity when compared
with any other product we offer.
WE MAY OFFER, IN OUR DISCRETION, REDUCED FEES AND CHARGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES

CHARGES, THE MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE, ANY APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE
CHARGE, THE OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT CHARGE AND THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE, FOR
CERTAIN CONTRACTS (INCLUDING EMPLOYER SPONSORED SAVINGS PLANS) WHICH MAY RESULT
IN DECREASED COSTS AND EXPENSES. REDUCTIONS IN THESE FEES AND CHARGES WILL NOT
BE UNFAIRLY DISCRIMINATORY AGAINST ANY CONTRACT OWNER.
DEATH BENEFIT
WHAT IS THE DEATH BENEFIT AND HOW IS IT CALCULATED?
The Death Benefit is the amount we will pay upon the death of the Contract Owner
or the Annuitant. The Death Benefit is calculated when we receive a certified
death certificate or other legal document acceptable to us.
The calculated Death Benefit will remain invested in the same Accounts,
according to the Contract Owner's last instructions until we receive complete
written settlement instructions from the Beneficiary. Therefore, the Death
Benefit amount will fluctuate with the performance of the underlying Funds. When
there is more than one Beneficiary, we will calculate the Accumulation Units for
each Sub-account and the dollar amount for the Fixed Accumulation Feature for
each Beneficiary's portion of the proceeds.
If death occurs before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Death Benefit is the
greatest of:
- - The total Premium Payments you have made to us minus the dollar amount of any
partial Surrenders; or
- - The Contract Value of your Annuity minus any Payment Enhancements credited in
the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit; or
- - The Maximum Anniversary Value, which is described below, minus Payment
Enhancements credited in the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the
Death Benefit.
The Maximum Anniversary Value is based on a series of calculations on Contract
Anniversaries of Contract Values, Premium Payments, Payment Enhancements and
partial Surrenders. We will calculate an Anniversary Value for each Contract
Anniversary prior to the deceased's 81st birthday or date of death, whichever is
earlier. The Anniversary Value is equal to the Contract Value as of a Contract
Anniversary, increased by the dollar amount of any Premium Payments made and
Payment Enhancements credited 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.
You may also elect the Optional Death Benefit for an additional fee. The
Optional Death Benefit adds the Interest Accumulation Value to the Death Benefit
calculation.
If you elect the Optional Death Benefit, the Death Benefit prior to the
deceased's date of death or the deceased's 81st birthday, whichever is earlier,
will be the greater of:
- - The Total Premium Payments you have made to us minus the dollar amount of any
partial Surrenders; or
- - The Contract Value on the date the death certificate or other legal document
acceptable to us is received; or
- - The Maximum Anniversary Value, minus any Payment Enhancements credited in the
12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit.
- - The Interest Accumulation Value described below.
The Interest Accumulation Value prior to the deceased's date of death or 81st
birthday, whichever is earlier is equal to:
- - Your Contract Value of your Annuity minus any Payment Enhancements credited in
the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit;
- - Plus any Premium Payments made; but not including any Payment Enhancements
credited;
- - Minus any partial Surrenders;
- - Compounded daily at an annual rate of 5.0%.
If you have taken any partial Surrenders, the Interest Accumulation Value will
be adjusted to reduce the Optional Death Benefit proportionally for any partial
Surrenders.
On or after the deceased's 81st birthday or date of death, the Interest
Accumulation Value will not continue to compound, but will be adjusted to add
any Premium Payments and Payment Enhancements or subtract any partial
Surrenders.
The Optional Death Benefit is limited to a maximum of 200% of any Premium
Payments made less proportional adjustments for any Surrenders.
If you elect the Optional Death Benefit, we will subtract an additional charge
on a daily basis until we begin to make Annuity Payouts that is equal to an
annual charge of .15% of your Contract Value invested in the Funds. The Optional
Death Benefit may not be available if the Contract Owner or Annuitant is age 75
or older. The Optional Death Benefit is not available in the states of
Washington or New York.
If you elect the Optional Death Benefit after you purchase your Annuity, your
Optional Death Benefit Calculation will be:
- - Your Contract Value on the date we add the Optional Death Benefit to your
Annuity;
- - Minus any Payment Enhancements credited on or before we add the Optional Death
Benefit;
- - Plus any Premium Payments made after the Optional Death Benefit is added, but
not including any Payment Enhancements credited;
- - Minus any partial surrenders after the Optional Death Benefit is added;

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - Compounded daily at an annual interest rate of 5%.
HOW IS THE DEATH BENEFIT PAID?
The Death Benefit may be taken in one lump sum or under any of the Annuity
Payout Options then being offered by us. On the date we receive complete
instructions from the Beneficiary, we will compute the Death Benefit amount to
be paid out or applied to a selected Annuity Payout Option. When there is more
than one Beneficiary, we will calculate the Death Benefit amount for each
Beneficiary's portion of the proceeds and then pay it out or apply it to a
selected Annuity Payout Option according to each Beneficiary's instructions. If
we receive the complete instructions on a Non-Valuation Day, computations will
take place on the next Valuation Day.
The Beneficiary may elect under the Annuity Proceeds Settlement Option "Death
Benefit Remaining with the Company" to leave proceeds from the Death Benefit
with us for up to five years from the date of the death if the death occurred
before the Annuity Commencement Date. Once we receive a certified death
certificate or other legal documents acceptable to us, the Beneficiary can: (a)
make Sub-Account transfers and (b) take Surrenders without paying Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges.
REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS -- If the Contract Owner dies before the Annuity
Commencement Date, the Death Benefit must be distributed within five years after
death. The Beneficiary can choose any Annuity Payout Option that results in
complete Annuity Payout within five years.
If the Contract Owner dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date under an
Annuity Payout Option with a Death Benefit, any remaining value must be
distributed at least as rapidly as under the payment method being used as of the
Contract Owner's death.
If the Contract Owner is not an individual (e.g. a trust), then the original
Annuitant will be treated as the Contract Owner in the situations described
above and any change in the original Annuitant will be treated as the death of
the Contract Owner.
WHAT SHOULD THE BENEFICIARY CONSIDER?
ALTERNATIVES TO THE REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS -- The selection of an Annuity Payout
Option and the timing of the selection will have an impact on the tax treatment
of the Death Benefit. To receive favorable tax treatment, the Annuity Payout
Option selected: (a) cannot extend beyond the Beneficiary's life or life
expectancy, and (b) must begin within one year of the date of death.
If these conditions are NOT met, the Death Benefit will be treated as a lump sum
payment for tax purposes. This sum will be taxable in the year in which it is
considered received.
SPOUSAL CONTRACT CONTINUATION -- If the Beneficiary is the Contract Owner's
spouse, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract as the contract
owner, receive the death benefit in one lump sum payment or elect an Annuity
Payout Option. This spousal continuation is available only once for each
Contract. If the beneficiary elects to continue the Contract, we will adjust the
Contract Value to equal the amount that we would have paid as the Death Benefit.
WHO WILL RECEIVE THE DEATH BENEFIT?
The distribution of the Death Benefit is based on whether death is before, on or
after the Annuity Commencement Date.

SURRENDERS
WHAT KINDS OF SURRENDERS ARE AVAILABLE?
FULL SURRENDERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- When you Surrender your
Contract before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Surrender Value of the
Contract will be paid in a lump sum. The Surrender Value is the Contract Value
minus any applicable Premium Taxes, Contingent Deferred Sales Charges and the
Annual Maintenance Fee. The Surrender Value may be more or less than the amount
of the Premium Payments made to a Contract.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- You may request a
partial Surrender of Contract Values at any time before the Annuity Commencement
Date. A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge may be deducted. There are two
restrictions:
- - The partial Surrender amount must be at least equal to $100, our current
minimum for partial Surrenders, and
- - The Contract must have a minimum Contract Value of $500 after the Surrender.
The minimum Contract Value in New York must be $1000 after the Surrender. We
reserve the right to close your Contract and pay the full Surrender Value if
the Contract Value is under the minimum after the Surrender. If your Contract
was issued in Texas, a remaining value of $500 is not required to continue the
Contract if Premium Payments were made in the last two Contract Years.
FULL SURRENDERS AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- You may Surrender your
Contract on or after the Annuity Commencement Date only if you selected the
Payment For a Period Certain Annuity Payout Option. Under this option, we pay
you the Commuted Value of your Contract minus any applicable Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges. The Commuted Value is determined on the day we receive your
written request for Surrender.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- Partial Surrenders are
permitted after the Annuity Commencement Date if you select the Life Annuity
with Payments for a Period Certain, Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity with
Payments for a Period Certain or the Payment for a Period Certain Annuity Payout
Option. You may take partial Surrenders of amounts equal to the Commuted Value
of the payments that we would have made during the "Period Certain" or the
number of years you select under the Annuity Payout Option that we guarantee to
make Annuity Payouts.
To qualify for partial Surrenders under these Annuity Payout Options you must
elect a variable dollar amount Annuity Payout and you must make the Surrender
request during the Period Certain.
Hartford will deduct any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charges.
If you elect to take the entire Commuted Value of the Annuity Payouts we would
have made during the Period Certain, Hartford will not make any Annuity Payouts
during the remaining Period Certain. If you elect to take only some of the
Commuted Value of the Annuity Payouts we would have made during the Period
Certain, Hartford will reduce the remaining Annuity Payouts during the remaining
Period Certain. Annuity Payouts that are to be made after the Period Certain is
over will not change.
Please check with your tax adviser because there could be adverse tax
consequences for partial Surrenders after the Annuity Commencement Date.
HOW DO I REQUEST A SURRENDER?
Requests for full Surrenders must be in writing. Requests for partial Surrenders
can be made in writing or by telephone. We will send your money within seven
days of receiving complete instructions. However, we may postpone payment of
Surrenders whenever: (a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed, (b) trading on
the New York Stock Exchange is restricted by the SEC, (b) the SEC permits and
orders postponement or (c) the SEC determines that an emergency exists to
restrict valuation.
WRITTEN REQUESTS -- To request a full or partial Surrender, complete a Surrender
Form or send us a letter, signed by you, stating:
- - the dollar amount that you want to receive, either before or after we withhold
taxes and deduct for any applicable charges,
- - your tax withholding amount or percentage, if any, and
- - your mailing address.
<PAGE>
24 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If there are joint Contract Owners, both must authorize all Surrenders. For a
partial Surrender, specify the Accounts that you want your Surrender to come
from, otherwise, the Surrender will be taken in proportion to the value in each
Account.
TELEPHONE REQUESTS -- To request a partial Surrender by telephone, we must have
received your completed Telephone Redemption Program Enrollment Form. If there
are joint Contract Owners, both must sign this form. By signing the form, you
authorize us to accept telephone instructions for partial Surrenders from either
Contract Owner.
Telephone authorization will remain in effect until we receive a written
cancellation notice from you or your joint Contract Owner, we discontinue the
program; or you are no longer the owner of the Contract. There are some
restrictions on telephone surrenders. Please call us with any questions.
We may record telephone calls and use other procedures to verify information and
confirm that instructions are genuine. We will not be liable for losses or
expenses arising from telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
WE MAY MODIFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR TELEPHONE REDEMPTIONS AT ANY TIME.
Telephone Surrender instructions received before the close of the New York Stock
Exchange will be processed on that Valuation Day. Otherwise, your request will
be processed on the next Valuation Day.
COMPLETING A POWER OF ATTORNEY FORM FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF MAY
PREVENT YOU FROM MAKING SURRENDERS VIA TELEPHONE.
WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ABOUT TAXES?
There are certain tax consequences associated with Surrenders:
PRIOR TO AGE 59 1/2 -- If you make a Surrender prior to age 59 1/2, there may be
adverse tax consequences including a 10% federal income tax penalty on the
taxable portion of the Surrender payment. Surrendering before age 59 1/2 may
also affect the continuing tax-qualified status of some Contracts.
WE DO NOT MONITOR SURRENDER REQUESTS. TO DETERMINE WHETHER A SURRENDER IS
PERMISSIBLE, WITH OR WITHOUT FEDERAL INCOME TAX PENALTY, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR
PERSONAL TAX ADVISER.
MORE THAN ONE CONTRACT ISSUED IN THE SAME CALENDAR YEAR:
If you own more than one contract issued by us or our affiliates in the same
calendar year, then these contracts may be treated as one contract for the
purpose of determining the taxation of distributions prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date. Please consult your tax adviser for additional information.
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 403(b) ANNUITIES -- As of December 31, 1988, all
section 403(b) annuities have limits on full and partial Surrenders.
Contributions to your Contract made after December 31, 1988 and any increases in
cash value after December 31, 1988 may not be distributed unless you are: (a)
age 59 1/2, (b) no longer employed, (c) deceased, (d) disabled, or
(e) experiencing a 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; unemployment or retirement may still be
subject to a federal income tax penalty of 10%.
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISER BEFORE MAKING ANY SURRENDERS.
PLEASE SEE THE "FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS" SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.
ANNUITY PAYOUTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS SECTION DESCRIBES WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE BEGIN TO MAKE REGULAR ANNUITY
PAYOUTS FROM YOUR CONTRACT. YOU, AS THE CONTRACT OWNER, SHOULD ANSWER FIVE
QUESTIONS:
1. When do you want Annuity Payouts to begin?
2. What Annuity Payout Option do you want to use?
3. How often do you want to receive Annuity Payouts?
4. What is the Assumed Investment Return?
5. Do you want fixed dollar amount or variable dollar amount Annuity Payouts?
Please check with your financial advisor to select the Annuity Payout Option
that best meets your income needs.
1. WHEN DO YOU WANT ANNUITY PAYOUTS TO BEGIN?
You select an Annuity Commencement Date when you purchase your Contract or at
any time before you begin receiving Annuity Payouts. You may change the Annuity
Commencement Date by notifying us within thirty days prior to the date. The
Annuity Commencement Date cannot be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 90th
birthday or the end of the 10th Contract Year, whichever is later. You may elect
a later Annuity Commencement Date if we allow and subject to the laws and
regulations then in effect. In Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon and Alabama, the
Annuity Commencement Date cannot be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 90th
birthday or the end of the 12th Contract Year. If this Contract is issued to the
trustee of a Charitable Remainder Trust, the Annuity Commencement Date may be
deferred to the Annuitant's 100th birthday.
The Annuity Calculation Date is when the amount of your Annuity Payout is
determined. This occurs within five Valuation Days before your selected Annuity
Commencement Date. We will deduct any Payment Enhancements credited in the 24
months before the Annuity Calculation Date from your Contract Value when we
determine the amount available for Annuity Payouts.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 25
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Annuity Payouts, regardless of frequency, will occur on the same day of the
month as the Annuity Commencement Date. After the initial payout, if an Annuity
Payout date falls on a Non-Valuation Day, the Annuity Payout is computed on the
prior Valuation Day. If the Annuity Payout date does not occur in a given month
due to a leap year or months with more than 28 days (i.e. the 31st), the Annuity
Payout will be computed on the last Valuation Day of the month.
2. WHICH ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTION DO YOU WANT TO USE?
Your Contract contains the Annuity Payout Options described below. The Annuity
Proceeds Settlement Option "Death Benefit Remaining with the Company" is an
option that can be elected by the Beneficiary after the death of the Contract
Owner and is described in the "Death Benefit" section. We may at times offer
other Annuity Payout Options.
LIFE ANNUITY -- We make Annuity Payouts as long as the Annuitant is living. When
the Annuitant dies, we stop making Annuity Payouts. A Payee would receive only
one Annuity Payout if the Annuitant dies after the first payout, two Annuity
Payouts if the Annuitant dies after the second payout, and so forth.
LIFE ANNUITY WITH A CASH REFUND -- We will make Annuity Payouts as long as the
Annuitant is living. When the Annuitant dies the remaining value will be paid to
the Beneficiary. The remaining value is equal to the Contract Value on the
Annuity Calculation Date minus any Premium Tax and the Annuity Payouts already
made. This option is only available for Variable Dollar Amount Annuity Payouts
using the 5% Assumed Investment Return.
LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN -- We make monthly Annuity
Payouts during the lifetime of the Annuitant but Annuity Payouts are at least
guaranteed for the number of years you select with a minimum of 10 years. If, at
the death of the Annuitant, Annuity Payouts have been made for less than the
minimum elected number of months, then the Beneficiary may elect to continue the
remaining Annuity Payouts or receive the present value of the amount of the
remaining Annuity Payouts.
JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY -- We will make Annuity Payouts as long as
the Annuitant and Joint Annuitant are living. When one Annuitant dies, we
continue to make Annuity Payouts to the other Annuitant until that second
Annuitant dies. When choosing this option, you must decide what will happen to
the Annuity Payouts; either fixed or variable, after the first Annuitant dies.
You must select Annuity Payouts that:
- - Remain the same at 100%, or
- - Decrease to 66.67%, or
- - Decrease to 50%.
For variable Annuity Payouts, these percentages represent Annuity Units; for
fixed Annuity Payouts, they represent actual dollar amounts. The percentage will
also impact the Annuity Payout amount we pay while both Annuitants are living.
If you pick a lower percentage, your original Annuity Payouts will be higher
while both Annuitants are alive.
JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN -- We
will make Annuity Payouts as long as either the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant are
living, but we at least guarantee to make Annuity Payouts for a time period you
select, between 10 years and 100 years minus the Annuitant's age. If the
Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant both die before the guaranteed number of years
have passed, then the Beneficiary has two options, (a) continue Annuity Payouts
for the remainder of the guaranteed number of years or (b) receive the Commuted
Value in one sum.
When choosing this option, you must decide what will happen to the Annuity
Payouts after the first Annuitant dies. You must select Annuity Payouts that:
- - Remain the same at 100%, or
- - Decrease to 66.67%, or
- - Decrease to 50%.
For variable dollar amount Annuity Payouts, these percentages represent Annuity
Units. For fixed-dollar amount Annuity Payouts, these percentages represent
actual dollar amounts. The percentage will also impact the Annuity Payout amount
we pay while both Annuitants are living. If you pick a lower percentage, your
original Annuity Payouts will be higher while both Annuitants are alive.
PAYMENT FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN -- We will make Annuity Payouts for the number of
years that you select. You can select any number of years between 10 years and
100 years minus the Annuitant's age. If, at the death of the Annuitant, Annuity
Payouts have been made for less than the time period selected, then the
Beneficiary may elect to continue the remaining Annuity Payouts or receive the
Commuted Value in one sum.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- - YOU CANNOT SURRENDER YOUR CONTRACT ONCE ANNUITY PAYOUTS BEGIN, UNLESS YOU HAVE
SELECTED THE LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN, JOINT AND LAST
SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN OR PAYMENT FOR A
PERIOD CERTAIN ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS. A CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE MAY
BE DEDUCTED.
- - For Non-Qualified Contracts, if you do not elect an Annuity Payout Option,
fixed Annuity Payouts will automatically begin on the Annuity Commencement
Date under the Life Annuity with Payments for a 10 Year Period Certain.
- - For Qualified Contracts and Contracts issued in Texas, if you do not elect an
Annuity Payout Option, fixed Annuity Payouts will begin automatically on the
Annuity Commencement Date, under the Life Annuity Payout Option.
3. HOW OFTEN DO YOU WANT THE PAYEE TO RECEIVE ANNUITY PAYOUTS?
In addition to selecting an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity Payout
Option, you must also decide how often you
<PAGE>
26 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
want the Payee to receive Annuity Payouts. You may choose to receive Annuity
Payouts:
- - monthly,
- - quarterly,
- - semi-annually, or
- - annually.
Once you select a frequency, it cannot be changed. If you do not make a
selection, the Payee will receive monthly Annuity Payouts. You must select a
frequency that results in an Annuity Payout of at least $50. If the amount falls
below $50, we have the right to change the frequency to bring the Annuity Payout
up to at least $50. For Contracts issued in New York, the minimum monthly
Annuity Payout is $20.
4. WHAT IS THE ASSUMED INVESTMENT RETURN?
The Assumed Investment Return ("AIR") is the investment return you select before
we start to make Annuity Payouts. It is a critical assumption for calculating
variable dollar amount Annuity Payouts. The first Annuity Payout will be based
upon the AIR. The remaining Annuity Payouts will fluctuate based on the
performance of the underlying Funds.
Subject to the approval of your State, you can select one of three AIRs: 3%, 5%
or 6%. The greater the AIR, the greater the initial Annuity Payout. A higher AIR
may result in smaller potential growth in the Annuity Payouts. On the other
hand, a lower AIR results in a lower initial Annuity Payout, but future Annuity
Payouts have the potential to be greater.
For example, if the second monthly Annuity Payout is the same as the first, the
sub-accounts earned exactly the same return as the AIR. If the second monthly
Annuity Payout is more than the first, the sub-accounts earned more than the
AIR. If the second Annuity Payout is less than the first, the sub-account earned
less than the AIR.
Level variable dollar amount Annuity Payouts would be produced if the investment
returns remained constant and equal to the AIR. In fact, Annuity Payouts will
vary up or down as the investment rate varies up or down from the AIR.
5. DO YOU WANT ANNUITY PAYOUTS TO BE FIXED-DOLLAR AMOUNT OR VARIABLE-DOLLAR
AMOUNT?
You may choose an Annuity Payout Option with fixed-dollar amounts or
variable-dollar amounts, depending on your income needs.
FIXED-DOLLAR AMOUNT ANNUITY PAYOUTS -- Once a fixed-dollar amount Annuity Payout
begins, you cannot change your selection to receive variable-dollar amount
Annuity Payout. You will receive equal fixed-dollar amount Annuity Payouts
throughout the Annuity Payout period. Fixed-dollar amount Annuity Payout amounts
are determined by multiplying the Contract Value, minus any applicable Premium
Taxes, by an Annuity rate. The annuity rate is set by us and is not less than
the rate specified in the fixed-dollar amount Annuity Payout Option tables in
your Contract.
VARIABLE-DOLLAR AMOUNT ANNUITY PAYOUTS -- A variable-dollar amount Annuity
Payout is based on the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts. The
variable-dollar amount Annuity Payouts may fluctuate with the performance of the
underlying Funds. To begin making variable-dollar amount Annuity Payouts, we
convert the first Annuity Payout amount to a set number of Annuity Units and
then price those units to determine the Annuity Payout amount. The number of
Annuity Units that determines the Annuity Payout amount remains fixed unless you
transfer units between Sub-Accounts.
The dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payout depends on:
- - the Annuity Payout Option chosen,
- - the Annuitant's attained age and gender (if applicable), and,
- - the applicable annuity purchase rates based on the 1983a Individual Annuity
Mortality table
- - the Assumed Investment Return
The total amount of the first variable-dollar amount Annuity Payout is
determined by dividing the Contract Value minus any applicable Premium Taxes, by
$1,000 and multiplying the result by the payment factor defined in the Contract
for the selected Annuity Payout Option.
The dollar amount of each subsequent variable-dollar amount Annuity Payout is
equal to the total of:
Annuity Units for each Sub-Account multiplied by Annuity Unit Value of each
Sub-Account.
The Annuity Unit Value of each Sub-Account for any Valuation Period is equal to
the Accumulation Unit Value Net Investment Factor for the current Valuation
Period multiplied by the Annuity Unit factor, multiplied by the Annuity Unit
Value for the preceding Valuation Period.
TRANSFER OF ANNUITY UNITS -- After the Annuity Calculation Date, you may
transfer dollar amounts of Annuity Units from one Sub-Account to another. On the
day you make a transfer, the dollar amounts are equal for both Sub-Accounts and
the number of Annuity Units will be different. We will transfer the dollar
amount of your Annuity Units the day we receive your written request if received
before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Otherwise, the transfer will be
made on the next Valuation Day.

HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 27

OTHER PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
INVESTEASE(-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-) PROGRAM -- InvestEase is an electronic
transfer program that allows you to have money automatically transferred from
your checking or savings account, and invested in your Contract. It is available
for Premium Payments made after your initial Premium Payment. The minimum amount
for each transfer is $50. You can elect to have transfers occur either monthly
or quarterly, and they can be made into any Account available in your Contract.
AUTOMATIC INCOME PROGRAM -- The Automatic Income Program allows you to Surrender
up to 10% of your total Premium Payments each Contract Year. We can Surrender
from the Accounts you select systematically on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual,
or annual basis. The Automatic Income Program may change based on your
instructions after your seventh Contract Year.
ASSET ALLOCATION PROGRAM -- Asset Allocation is a program that allows you to
choose an allocation for your Sub-Accounts to help you reach your investment
goals. Some Contracts offer model allocations with pre-selected Sub-Accounts and
percentages that have been established for each type of investor -- ranging from
conservative to aggressive. Over time, Sub-Account performance may cause your
Contract's allocation percentages to change, but under the Asset Allocation
Program, your Sub-Account allocations are rebalanced to the percentages in the
current model you have chosen. You can transfer freely between allocation models
up to twelve times per year. You can also allocate a portion of your investment
to Sub-Accounts that may not be part of the model. You can only participate in
one asset allocation model at a time.
ASSET REBALANCING -- Asset Rebalancing is another type of asset allocation
program in which you customize your Sub-Accounts to meet your investment needs.
You select the Sub-Accounts and the percentages you want allocated to each Sub-
Account. Based on the frequency you select, your model will automatically
rebalance to the original percentages chosen. You can transfer freely between
models up to twelve times per year. You can also allocate a portion of your
investment to Sub-Accounts that are not part of the model. You can only
participate in one asset rebalancing model at a time.
OTHER INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASSIGNMENT -- Ownership of this Contract is generally assignable. However, if
the Contract is issued to a tax qualified retirement plan, it is possible that
the ownership of the Contract may not be transferred or assigned. An assignment
of a Non-Qualified Contract may subject the Contract Values or Surrender Value
to income taxes and certain penalty taxes.
CONTRACT MODIFICATION -- The Annuitant may not be changed. However, if the
Annuitant is still living, 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 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.
HOW CONTRACTS ARE SOLD -- Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD")
serves as Principal Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the
Separate Account. HSD is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a Broker-Dealer and is a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. HSD is an affiliate of
ours. Both HSD and Hartford are ultimately controlled by The Hartford Financial
Services Group, Inc. The principal business address of HSD is the same as ours.
The securities will be sold by individuals who represent us as insurance agents
and who are registered representatives of Broker-Dealers that have entered into
distribution agreements with HSD.
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 this 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.

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 PURCHASES 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
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 29
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"investment in the contract," such excess constitutes the "income on the
contract."
iii. Any amount received or deemed received prior to the Annuity Commencement
Date (e.g., upon a partial surrender) is deemed to come first from any
such "income on the contract" and then from "investment in the contract,"
and for these purposes such "income on the contract" shall be computed by
reference to any aggregation rule in subparagraph 2.c. below. As a result,
any such amount received or deemed received (1) shall be includable in
gross income to the extent that such amount does not exceed any such
"income on the contract," and (2) shall not be includable in gross income
to the extent that such amount does exceed any such "income on the
contract." If at the time that any amount is received or deemed received
there is no "income on the contract" (e.g., because the gross value of the
Contract does not exceed the "investment in the contract" and no
aggregation rule applies), then such amount received or deemed received
will not be includable in gross income, and will simply reduce the
"investment in the contract."
iv. The receipt of any amount as a loan under the Contract or the assignment or
pledge of any portion of the value of the Contract shall be treated as an
amount received for purposes of this subparagraph a. and the next
subparagraph b.
v. In general, the transfer of the Contract, without full and adequate
consideration, will be treated as an amount received for purposes of this
subparagraph a. and the next subparagraph b. This transfer rule does not
apply, however, to certain transfers of property between spouses or incident
to divorce.
B. DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE.
Annuity payments made periodically after the Annuity Commencement Date are
includable in gross income to the extent the payments exceed the amount
determined by the application of the ratio of the "investment in the contract"
to the total amount of the payments to be made after the Annuity Commencement
Date (the "exclusion ratio").
i. When the total of amounts excluded from income by application of the
exclusion ratio is equal to the investment in the contract as of the
Annuity Commencement Date, any additional payments (including surrenders)
will be entirely includable in gross income.
ii. If the annuity payments cease by reason of the death of the Annuitant and,
as of the date of death, the amount of annuity payments excluded from gross
income by the exclusion ratio does not exceed the investment in the
contract as of the Annuity Commencement Date, then the remaining portion of
unrecovered investment shall be allowed as a deduction for the last taxable
year of the Annuitant.
iii. Generally, nonperiodic amounts received or deemed received after the
Annuity Commencement Date are not entitled to any exclusion ratio and
shall be fully includable in gross income. However, upon a full surrender
after such date, only the excess of the amount received (after any
surrender charge) over the remaining "investment in the contract" shall be
includable in gross income (except to the extent that the aggregation rule
referred to in the next subparagraph c. may apply).
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.).
<PAGE>
30 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E. SPECIAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING CONTRACTS OBTAINED THROUGH A TAX-FREE
EXCHANGE OF OTHER ANNUITY OR LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS PURCHASED PRIOR TO
AUGUST 14, 1982.
If the Contract was obtained by a tax-free exchange of a life insurance or
annuity Contract purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any amount received or
deemed received prior to the Annuity Commencement Date shall be deemed to come
(1) first from the amount of the "investment in the contract" prior to August
14, 1982 ("pre-8/14/82 investment") carried over from the prior Contract,
(2) then from the portion of the "income on the contract" (carried over to, as
well as accumulating in, the successor Contract) that is attributable to such
pre-8/14/82 investment, (3) then from the remaining "income on the contract" and
(4) last from the remaining "investment in the contract." As a result, to the
extent that such amount received or deemed received does not exceed such
pre-8/14/82 investment, such amount is not includable in gross income., In
addition, to the extent that such amount received or deemed received does not
exceed the sum of (a) such pre-8/14/82 investment and (b) the "income on the
contract" attributable thereto, such amount is not subject to the 10% penalty
tax. In all other respects, amounts received or deemed received from such post-
exchange Contracts are generally subject to the rules described in this
subparagraph 3.
F. REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS
i. Death of Contract Owner or Primary Annuitant
Subject to the alternative election or spouse beneficiary provisions in ii
or iii below:
1. If any Contract Owner dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date and
before the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the
remaining portion of such interest shall be distributed at least as
rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of
such death;
2. If any Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the
entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within 5 years after
such death; and
3. If the Contract Owner is not an individual, then for purposes of 1. or
2. above, the primary annuitant under the Contract shall be treated as
the Contract Owner, and any change in the primary annuitant 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. Distributions must
begin within a year of the Contract Owner's 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
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 31
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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
Any portion of a distribution that is (or is deemed to be) current taxable
income to the Contract Owner will be subject to federal income tax withholding
and reporting under the Code. Generally, however, a Contract Owner may elect not
to have income taxes withheld or to have income taxes withheld at a different
rate by filing a completed election form with us. Election forms will be
provided at the time distributions are required.
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.
G. GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFERS
Under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose a "generation
skipping transfer tax" when all or part of an annuity is transferred to, or a
death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the
owner. Federal tax law may require us to deduct the tax from your contract, or
from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the Internal Revenue
Service.

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>
34 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Required Beginning Date. Generally, the Required Beginning Date is April 1
of the calendar year following the later of:
- - 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.

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 report with respect
thereto, and are included herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as
experts in giving said report. The principal business address of Arthur Andersen
LLP is One Financial Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut 06103.
DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS
HOW CONTRACTS ARE SOLD
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.
<PAGE>
-4-
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.
For the past three years, Hartford has paid no underwriting commissions to HSD
related to the sales of this Contract.
CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN
YIELD OF THE MONEY MARKET HLS SUB-ACCOUNT. The yield of the Money Market Fund
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
<PAGE>
-5-
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 365/7 and subtracting 1 from the
result, according to the following formula:
365/7
Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1) ] - 1
THE HARTFORD 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. THE CURRENT YIELD AND EFFECTIVE YIELD REFLECT RECURRING CHARGES ON
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT LEVEL, INCLUDING THE MAXIMUM ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE.
The yield and effective yield for the seven day period ending March 31, 1999 for
the Money Market Fund Sub-Account was as follows ($30 Annual Maintenance Fee):

</TABLE>
YIELDS OF AMERICAN FUNDS BOND AND MFS HIGH INCOME SUB-ACCOUNTS. Yields of the
above Sub-Accounts will be computed by annualizing a recent month's net
investment income, divided by a Fund share's net asset value on the last
trading day of that month. Net changes in the value of a hypothetical account
will assume the change in the underlying mutual fund's "net asset value per
share" for the same period in addition to the daily expense charge assessed,
at the sub-account level for the respective period. The Sub-Accounts' yields
will vary from time to time depending upon market conditions and, the
composition of the underlying funds' portfolios. Yield should also be
considered relative to changes in the value of the Sub-Accounts' shares and
to the relative risks associated with the investment objectives and policies
of the underlying Fund.
THE YIELD REFLECTS RECURRING CHARGES ON THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT LEVEL, INCLUDING
THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE.
<PAGE>

Yield calculations of the Sub-Accounts used for illustration purposes reflect
the interest earned by the Sub-Accounts, less applicable asset charges assessed
against a Contract Owner's account over the base period. Yield quotations based
on a 30 day period were 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.

The yield for the Hartford High Yield Fund is not yet available because the Fund
is new. At any time in the future, yields and total return may be higher or
lower than past yields and there can be no assurance that any historical results
will continue.
The method of calculating yields described above for these Sub-Accounts differs
from the method used by the Sub-Accounts prior to May 1, 1988. The denominator
of the fraction used to calculate yield was previously the average unit value
for the period calculated. That denominator will hereafter be the unit value of
the Sub-Accounts on the last trading day of the period calculated.
CALCULATION OF TOTAL RETURN. 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
<PAGE>
-7-
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. Total return will be calculated for
one year, five years and ten years or some other relevant periods if a
Sub-Account has not been in existence for at least ten years.
PERFORMANCE 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 since the inception of the Separate Account 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.
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 is divided
by the unit value on the last day of the period. This figure includes the
recurring charges at the Separate Account level including the Annual
Maintenance Fee.
The Hartford Money Market HLS 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 include the recurring
charges at the Separate Account level including the Annual Maintenance Fee.
<PAGE>
-8-
The Separate Account may also disclose YIELD for periods prior to the date
the Separate Account commenced operations. For these periods, 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 systematic 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 Contract and the characteristics of and market for such alternatives.

In addition to the standardized total return, the Sub-Account may advertise a
non-standardized total return. This figure will usually be calculated for one
year, five years, and ten years or other periods. Non-standardized total return
is measured in the same manner as the standardized total return described above,
except that the contingent deferred sales charge and the Annual Maintenance Fee
are not deducted and the time periods used to calculate return are based on the
inception date of the underlying Funds. Therefore, non-standardized total return
for a Sub-Account is higher than standardized total return for a Sub-Account.
The following are the non-standardized annualized total return quotations for
the Sub-Accounts:

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 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
<PAGE>
-11-
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.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
UNAUDITED
1. ORGANIZATION:
Separate Account Seven (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

Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests
deposits by variable annunity contractowners of the Company in various
mutual funds (the Funds) as directed by the contractowners.
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 securities 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 dividends from the Funds which are characterized as capital
gains under tax regulations.
b) SECURITY VALUATION--The investment in shares of the Funds are valued at
the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate
Fund as of December 31, 1999.

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. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
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. An additional tax charge based on a percentage of the

These expenses are included in surrenders for benefit payments and fees
on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.
c) ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE--The Company will make deductions to cover
administrative expenses at a maximum annual rate of 0.15% of the
contract's value. These expenses are included in surrenders for benefit
payments and fees on the accompanying statements of changes in net
assets.
d) ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE--An annual maintenance fee in the amount of $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,

included in surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying
statements of changes in net assets.

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

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:

</TABLE>
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:

HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES F-17

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 December 31, 1999, there were 1,053 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 becomes subject
by reason of being or having been an 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.
<PAGE>
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.

c. INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING NOTICE AND CERTIFICATION
NOTICE OF INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING: Federal law requires withholding of 10% from taxable distributions unless you elect not to have
taxes withheld or specify a different withholding amount. Withholding will only apply to that portion of your distribution that
is includable in your income subject to federal income tax. For "nonqualified annuities", distributions will be assumed taken
first from earnings as of the liquidation date, if any, and second from purchase payments. The prospectus includes further
details on the treatment of variable annuity distributions for tax purposes. You may revoke this withholding election at any
time. To revoke or change your withholding election, please contact Hartford Life in writing. If you choose not to have
withholding apply to your distribution or if you do not have enough federal income tax withheld, you may be responsible for the
payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and tax payments are
insufficient. PLEASE NOTE: TAXABLE DISTRIBUTIONS OF EARNINGS PRIOR TO AGE 59 1/2 MAY BE SUBJECT TO A FEDERAL TAX PENALTY OF 10%,
THEREFORE, BEFORE ENROLLMENT IN THIS PROGRAM, YOU MAY WANT TO CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED TAX ADVISOR. ALSO, DISTRIBUTION FROM
CERTAIN QUALIFIED PLANS (FOR EXAMPLE, 403(b)'S) MAY BE SUBJECT TO A MANDATORY 20% WITHHOLDING UNLESS THESE DISTRIBUTIONS ARE TO
SATISFY IRS MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS.
CERTIFICATION OF TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: Under penalties of perjury, I certify that the number shown below is my correct
taxpayer identification number (or I am waiting for the number to be issued to me.) Furthermore, I am not subject to backup
withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject
to backup withholding.

My signature below indicates that I have received a Hartford Leaders Plus variable annuity prospectus and have authorized the

scheduled transfer/liquidation. Hartford Life may credit increased interest rates, which are guaranteed up to a 12-month period
to contract owners under certain programs established. The number of months selected will determine the interest rate credited to
you. The 6-Month Program and the 12-Month Program will generally have different credited rates. The DCAPlus Program is subject to
state availability. All program transactions will be confirmed on quarterly statements. I agree to review the information on my
statements carefully. All errors or corrections must be reported to Hartford Life immediately to assure proper crediting to my

RE: HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT SEVEN
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
File No. 333-91927
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 Seven (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 Contacts.
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.
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,
/s/ Lynda Godkin
