SEMIANNUAL REPORT

To the contract-holders and policy-owners of
Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Accounts

With inflation remaining temperate in most markets and overall economic 
growth fairly strong throughout the world, global equities continued to 
surpass fixed-income instruments during the first half of Putnam Capital 
Manager Trust's fiscal year. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, U.S. 
stocks once again led world equity performance. Although foreign bonds 
were generally unable to continue last year's outperformance of U.S. 
fixed-income securities, individual markets did post exceptional returns. 
As always, Putnam's team of portfolio managers and analysts combined in-
depth fundamental and technical research to maximize each portfolio's 
investment opportunities.

EQUITIES
* United States Following a March-April swoon, U.S. stocks soared to 
record levels during the first half of fiscal 1997 as markets and 
investor confidence levels quickly recovered from the Federal Reserve 
Board's late-March interest-rate increase. Ideal conditions fueled this 
powerful rally: falling interest rates, steady economic growth, and 
favorable demand and supply characteristics for equities. During the first 
half of the period, the so-called "Nifty Fifty" handful of large, best-
known multinational blue-chip companies dominated the market, but mid- and 
small-cap stocks rebounded sharply in the spring. Volatility remained 
high, but was generally on the upside during this record-breaking period.

* Europe The core markets of Western Europe performed quite favorably 
over the period, despite the high unemployment and political uncertainty 
which beset many of them. Essentially, continental stock markets seem to 
have benefited from investor hopes for better shareholder returns stemming 
from corporate restructurings begun in the early 1990s. For many companies, 
these changes have translated into improved efficiency and profitability, 
corporate characteristics that have historically led to better returns. 
Particular equity sectors enjoying favor over the period included 
pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, especially those in the 
United Kingdom, Switzerland, Sweden, and Germany. Advanced communications 
companies and other consumer products firms also performed well.

* Pacific Rim Following marked weakness early in the period, Japanese 
stock prices later rebounded. The once moribund Japanese economy has 
shown some signs of life. Southeast Asian economic growth rates are 
still better than those in the United Kingdom and Europe, but the region 
is contending with slower export growth. Economic crisis and currency 
devaluations in Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines cast a pall over 
the region's markets. Investors' assumption that there would be a smooth 
transfer of power in Hong Kong proved correct. Much of Latin America has 
achieved what only a few years ago appeared impossible: stable growth with 
negligible inflation. Privatization was also a key theme in Latin America, 
mainly in telecommunications, electric utilities, and railroads.

FIXED INCOME
* United States While the U.S. fixed-income market was not as volatile as 
the equity market, it did feel its share of ups and downs during the period. 
Fears of inflation brought on by the economy's seemingly relentless strength 
dominated market psychology until the Fed finally raised short-term rates by 
one-quarter point on March 25. Thereafter, the market calmed down; bond yields 
declined and both actual and anticipated volatility appeared to wane. U.S. 
Treasuries turned in muted performance for the period, as investors searched 
for -- and found -- higher yields in asset-backed and mortgage-backed 
securities, as well as high-yield corporate bonds.

* Global With worldwide economic growth accelerating and government and 
central bank policies emphasizing fiscal responsibility, global fixed-income 
markets showed strength throughout the period. Over the past three months, 
higher-yielding markets in all sectors outperformed their lower-yielding 
counterparts: emerging markets beat developed countries; the Anglo markets 
of Canada and Australia outperformed the U.S.; and peripheral European 
markets bested core European markets. Japan was at the bottom of the heap, 
although conditions appeared to improve as the period drew to a close. 

* High Yield With continued U.S. economic strength, merger and acquisition 
activity in several industries, and steady demand from a wide range of 
investors, the high-yield market continued to offer solid performance 
during the period. Even the Fed's March increase in interest-rates caused 
but a hiccup in high-yield bond prices, so strong were the other factors 
supporting the market. Telecommunications issues continued to offer 
excellent prospects for income and price appreciation, along with 
banking and electric utility bonds. However, the fastest-growing segment 
of the high-yield market may well be outside the United States, in 
developing countries. Interestingly, many governmental entities and 
private companies of investment-grade quality are having to issue high-
yield bonds because the countries in which they reside have below-
investment-grade status.

PCM Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Sub-Account

As bad went to worse for the returns of many Pacific Rim markets during 
the period, PCM Asia Pacific Growth Fund subaccount demonstrated some of 
the virtues of active portfolio management. Over the period, management 
decisions helped mitigate the negative impact of some of these markets on 
fund performance. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the subaccount 
tallied returns of 6.04% at unit value. 

Japan's macroeconomic problems continued to hamper stock market 
performance, as the Nikkei Index dropped significantly over the period. 
Multinational export-oriented firms formed one bright spot, however, since 
these firms benefited as the yen continued to fall against the U.S. 
dollar. Fortunately, the portfolio contained several of these holdings, 
along with some purely domestic companies that performed less vigorously. 
An underweighting in the Japanese market relative to its peer group -- 
along with a significant hedge against the yen -- also helped keep the 
subaccount's returns ahead of many of its competitors.

As the first quarter of 1997 began to unfold, some Pacific Rim markets 
began to decline under the influence of factors such as overheated 
property markets, the fear of rising U.S. interest rates, and a host of 
economic and political uncertainties. Hong Kong felt these pressures, 
although the fund had already reallocated many of its real estate holdings 
into the utilities sector, which went on to significantly outperform the 
broader market. Australia's bank and housing stocks also buoyed 
performance, as these sectors defied that country's overall poor stock 
market returns.

The emerging markets were mixed and volatile during the past six months. 
Management's strategy in these markets has been to remain highly 
selective, seeking to take advantage of what it sees as promising 
opportunities while generally keeping the country allocations low to 
soften the impact of these markets' characteristic volatility. 
Consequently, the fund has relatively small stakes in countries such as 
Thailand, India, and Indonesia. On the other hand, some markets such as 
Taiwan -- which saw signs of economic recovery, strong liquidity, and a 
trade surplus -- held up well along with Malaysia, which experienced some 
of the most robust corporate growth in the region. The fund's allocation 
in Malaysia was the largest among the emerging markets. 

Looking ahead, management sees the biggest wild card for many Pacific Rim 
countries to be U.S. interest rates, which can affect their stock market 
performance significantly. Nonetheless, management believes the fund 
underlying the subaccount is well positioned to take advantage of future 
opportunities and that Southeast Asia offers long-term investors the 
potential for growth above and beyond that provided in the established 
Western economies.

PCM Diversified Income Fund 
Sub-Account

Timely portfolio adjustments and defensive positioning in the U.S. 
government and high-yield sectors of the portfolio enabled PCM Diversified 
Income Fund subaccount to provide strong performance over the semiannual 
period. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the subaccount turned in a 
total return of 1.64% at unit value. Once again, the underlying fund's 
high-yield bond sector led performance, followed by the U.S. government 
sector.

While most of the period was characterized by a financially friendly 
market environment of steady economic growth, low inflation, and falling 
interest rates, March brought a significant -- albeit short-lived -- 
change of course. In the midst of a sharply declining U.S. stock market, 
the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates in what was 
then viewed as the first in a series of moves to keep inflation in check. 
Anticipating this changing climate, the fund's managers began to adjust 
the portfolio's allocations in February, taking a more defensive position 
in the U.S. government sector and trimming back exposure to the high-yield 
market. High-yield bonds tend to mirror the direction of the stock market, 
and so this move enabled them to cushion the fund against the expected 
stock market correction. Meanwhile the international sector, specifically 
European bonds, did well in local currency terms but fund results were 
hurt by a strong dollar.

Even with the cutback, the high-yield sector included some of the fund's 
best-performing holdings. Among the period's strongest performers were 
bonds of smaller telephone companies, foreign cellular companies, 
broadcasting firms, and outdoor advertising or billboard companies. In the 
U.S. government sector, management retained its emphasis on mortgage-
backed securities, which continued to offer higher yields and greater 
potential price appreciation than U.S. Treasury holdings and appear likely 
to do so for some time. In February, management repositioned the U.S. 
government sector more defensively, shifting the portfolio into a barbell 
configuration in order to shorten the average maturity of the portfolio. 
Mainly, this meant selling a significant position in intermediate Treasury 
securities in favor of cash and long-term Treasury bonds and swapping 
current coupon mortgages for shorter-duration high-coupon mortgages and 
long-term mortgage securities.

Toward mid-winter, management began to reduce the fund's position in 
peripheral Europe, taking profits and shifting the portfolio's focus 
toward core European markets such as Germany and France. This move was 
successful, since core markets proved less volatile and delivered strong 
performance.

High-yield securities are rated lower than investment-grade securities 
because there is a greater possibility that negative changes in the 
issuer's financial condition, or in general economic conditions, may 
hinder the issuer's ability to pay principal and interest on the 
securities. Foreign investments may be subject to certain risks, such as 
currency fluctuations and political developments, that are not present 
with domestic investments. While U.S. government backing of individual 
securities does not insure your principal, which will fluctuate with 
market conditions, it does guarantee that the fund's government-backed 
holdings will make timely payments of interest and principal.


PCM Global Asset Allocation Fund
Sub-Account

The six months ended June 30, 1997, were marked by a 
number of significant events in the global financial markets including 
record highs for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Federal Reserve 
Board's interest-rate increase on March 25. PCM Global Asset Allocation 
Fund subaccount turned in positive total return performance of 12.25% at 
unit value. For the first time over the life of the underlying fund, the 
balanced sector delivered top returns, closely followed by the growth 
sector, and finally the conservative sector.

Fiscal 1997 began right where 1996 left off for the U.S. economy, with 
stocks continuing to outperform bonds. In fact, strong earnings growth, 
falling interest rates, and low inflation have combined in recent years to 
bring about one of the great bull markets in U.S. history. In recent 
months, however, each of these trends has begun to reverse itself. In 
response, the stock market has suffered a few sporadic corrections. While 
a prolonged correction is unlikely, in the face of uncertainty and to 
protect gains made in the last two years, the fund's management has 
underweighted U.S. stock holdings relative to their overseas counterparts.

In March, the U.S. bond market underwent a selloff in anticipation of the 
Fed's eventual increase in short-term rates. Longer-term prospects for 
U.S. fixed-income securities remain somewhat brighter, and management 
plans to emphasize U.S. investment-grade bonds at the expense of 
international bonds as the year goes on.

Among international stock markets, Germany's continues to display positive 
fundamentals. Stocks have rallied over the past few months in the United 
Kingdom, but the market is likely to deteriorate in coming months and we 
have underweighted the portfolio in U.K. stocks. With volatility likely in 
Japan, management's emphasis on careful stock selection will continue.

As expected, foreign bonds generally were unable to continue last year's 
outperformance of U.S. fixed-income securities. Japanese bonds were top 
global performers, but various market conditions make them less desirable 
investments at this time. Germany and the United Kingdom are both 
undergoing economic expansion that leaves their bond markets with little 
or no room for expansion. Overall, management plans to switch its fixed-
income emphasis to favor the U.S. market.

Amid today's changing environment, the managers believe it best to reduce 
the portfolio's exposure to riskier assets and increase international 
diversification. Accordingly, they plan to underweight U.S. equities in 
favor of European and emerging market equities and reduce exposure to 
fixed-income securities, especially those overseas, in favor of cash.

PCM Global Growth Fund 
Sub-Account

Driven mostly by an emphasis on technology stocks worldwide, as well as 
sound stock picking in Japan and the United States, and the positive 
markets of Western Europe, PCM Global Growth Fund subaccount achieved a 
solid total return of 15.28% at unit value for the six months ended June 
30, 1997. While remaining risk-conscious, management continued to focus on 
companies with demonstrated revenues and earnings growth -- and strong 
prospects for continued expansion.

Despite political uncertainty and unemployment in key Western European 
markets over the period, most Continental stock markets moved steadily 
upward. Management believes this positive performance was driven by the 
hope for better shareholder returns following corporate restructurings, 
begun in the early 1990s, which have increased the efficiency and 
profitability of many European firms. France and the United Kingdom were 
two exceptions, as political uncertainty undermined their stock market 
performance and the portfolio's overweight positioning proved incorrect.

The Japanese stock market continued to suffer difficulties throughout the 
period. Nevertheless, the underlying fund owned shares of selected 
Japanese companies with strong overseas operations, many of which 
performed well despite the falling Nikkei Index. Elsewhere in Asia, Hong 
Kong had a generally buoyant market in recent months and the fund also 
benefited from positive performance by holdings in the Philippines, 
Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. With the exception of Hong Kong, these 
holdings represent a fairly small percentage of the portfolio, although 
the fund's managers believe they offer exceptional growth opportunities. 
Indeed, emerging markets in Asia -- and elsewhere -- play a small but 
helpful role in the subaccount's performance.

Although the U.S. stock market was beset by substantial volatility during 
the period, the fund benefited from astute stock selection as several of 
its holdings appreciated significantly. The fund's extensive technology 
holdings -- most notably semiconductor equipment-related stocks -- 
rebounded sharply during the second quarter of 1997, substantially 
boosting fund returns. Had the portfolio not been underweight in the U.S. 
market, gains would have been even greater. 

As the fund entered the second half of its fiscal year, management began 
paring back exposure to many of the Continental European growth stocks and 
to the technology sector overall. These stocks have been stellar 
performers and in many cases have exceeded the fund's original price 
targets. Taking profits now will enable the fund to take advantage of some 
excellent opportunities in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Japan which 
have the potential to provide superior returns in coming months.

PCM Growth and Income Fund
Sub-Account

Once again, PCM Growth and Income Fund subaccount's strategy of 
identifying undervalued companies with the potential for positive change 
produced solid performance. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the 
subaccount posted a total return of 14.97% at unit value.

Throughout the first half of the semiannual period, investors played a 
waiting game, trying to anticipate when the Federal Reserve Board would 
respond to an overheating economy. In late March, the Fed finally issued 
its preemptive strike: a quarter-point increase in the federal funds rate, 
the first tightening in two years. 

Toward the middle of May, the economy settled into a more sustainable 
pace. Even as unemployment continued to fall and consumer confidence hit a 
28-year high, retail sales slowed, inventories started building up, and 
construction spending remained soft. Consumer prices barely increased 
during the period, while wholesale prices actually fell. Global 
competition and improved labor productivity have been key factors in 
continued price and wage restraint. 

Even though the Fed's increase in interest rates was generally expected, 
it triggered the largest equity selloff since 1987. The retreat was short-
lived, however, as the stock market quickly recovered and set a string of 
new highs. The Fed left interest rates unchanged in May and, in light of 
further indications that growth has moderated and inflation remains tame, 
seems content to continue its wait-and-see policy over the near term. 

The subaccount benefited from the underlying fund's holdings in the 
retail, energy, health-care, financial, and technology sectors. During the 
second quarter, the subaccount benefited from an overweighting in capital 
goods and an underweighting in energy. Fortuitous selection of individual 
technology issues added to the subaccount's positive results. Performance 
was hindered, however, by underweightings in health care and technology 
and overweightings in basic industrials and consumer cyclical issues. 

Management's outlook remains favorable for large-cap value-oriented 
portfolios like the fund's and believes valuations of these stocks are 
still fairly attractive relative to the general market.

PCM High Yield Fund 
Sub-Account

While 1997 has been a disappointing year so far for some bond investors, 
high-yield bond investors continued to enjoy a strong market. Issuers of 
below-investment-grade debt generally were able to weather March's 
increase in interest rates with little visible effect, thanks to a vibrant 
U.S. economy and record growth in productivity. Whereas U.S. Treasuries 
ended the semiannual period virtually where they started, PCM High Yield 
Fund subaccount provided a total return of 5.13% at unit value for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997. 

Several factors contributed to the resilience of the high-yield market. On 
the economic front, corporate earnings and cash flow continued to improve, 
enabling companies to pare down debt and pave the way for upgrades by 
rating agencies. Merger and acquisition activity in several industries 
also supported high-yield security prices during the period -- and boosted 
subaccount returns. A low default rate among issuers and sustained demand 
from insurance companies, pension funds, foreign investors, and others 
also buoyed high-yield market performance.

During the period, the portfolio underwent a slight shift in emphasis away 
from the telecommunications sector -- its largest sector at the beginning 
of the period -- and toward other, equally promising areas. Banking is one 
such sector. Simply put, there are too many banks. Mergers and acquisitions 
should continue to sweep this industry and as the weakest players, banks 
that issue high-yield debt are most likely to be acquired. When a holding 
is acquired, the fund can benefit from higher bond prices resulting from 
credit upgrades. Another area of increased emphasis -- and one that helped 
drive returns during the period -- is the electric utility sector. Management 
purchased many of these bonds at attractive prices and now they are providing 
strong earnings and some have even enjoyed credit upgrades and rapid price 
appreciation. 

Arguably, the fastest-growing segment of the high-yield market lies in 
developing countries. Countries in Asia and Latin America have been 
particularly active high-yield bond issuers in recent years. During the 
period, this fund's performance benefited from stellar returns in 
countries ranging from Mexico and Argentina to Russia.

With current high-yield bond valuations abroad almost as lofty as those in 
the U.S. stock market, bond prices may be vulnerable to correction in the 
coming months as investors and the Federal Reserve weigh the evidence in 
favor of and against higher inflation. In any case, as bond prices 
continue to ride the inevitable waves of investor sentiment, management 
will continue to use in-depth credit research to construct a well-
diversified portfolio than can offer the potential for income and price 
appreciation in the months ahead.

PCM International Growth Fund
Sub-Account

Robust performance in the world's equity markets provided a favorable 
backdrop for positive subaccount returns from inception on January 2, 
1997, through June 30, 1997. In fact, the underlying fund's investment 
strategy, which balances top-down country allocation and bottom-up stock 
selection, enabled it to tally a superior total return of 15.00% at unit 
value.

Although the early months of operation can be a challenging time for any 
fund, PCM International Growth Fund subaccount's focus on stocks offering 
predictable growth at compelling valuations has already produced good 
results. The subaccount's positive performance during the recent period 
reflects astute stock selection amid the continuing advance of core 
European markets as well as a rebound in the Japanese market and currency 
over the second quarter. European stock markets are benefiting from pro-
equities positions of many governments as the Continent prepares for 
monetary union. In fact, improved growth prospects pushed many European 
markets higher, and portfolio holdings in Germany, the Netherlands, and 
Switzerland made significant contributions to fund returns. 

Country allocations also added modestly to portfolio returns, as 
overweight positions in the Netherlands and Switzerland more than 
compensated for an underweight position in Spain's vibrant market. Among 
the weaker markets, the portfolio was underweight in the United Kingdom 
and Malaysia. These positives were partially offset by a relatively 
underweight position in Japan, which rallied solidly in the second 
quarter. In Latin America, management reduced Brazilian holdings and 
increased the Mexican position. The weighting in Canada has been increased 
6%, primarily in the banking and telecommunications sectors.

Management uses currency hedging defensively to protect portfolio value 
during periods of U.S. dollar strength. In the recent period, the hedges 
held against Continental European positions were modest contributors to 
returns. Early in the second quarter, management significantly reduced a 
hedge against the Japanese yen -- which had strengthened against the 
dollar after seven consecutive quarters of weakness -- but the position 
was still a drag on performance. All in all, defensive currency hedging 
was a small positive for portfolio performance.

As always, stock selection focuses on valuation, and management currently 
believes that the price levels of stocks in Europe as well as Japan and 
the emerging markets remain reasonable. Over the next few months, 
management plans to reduce exposure to Continental European markets, 
slightly increased holdings in the United Kingdom and Singapore, maintain 
the current increased Japanese position, and maintain the portfolio's 
current market weighting in Hong Kong with some shifts in stock selection 
there.

PCM International Growth and Income Fund
Sub-Account

PCM International Growth and Income Fund subaccount entered the overseas 
investing arena at the beginning of 1997 with a mission of finding 
undervalued companies possessing the potential for positive change. 
Management is pleased to report that this "cheapness and change" 
philosophy has worked very well as many overseas companies embrace the 
concept of creating value for their shareholders, rebuild themselves based 
on aggressive corporate restructuring programs, and work to be more 
competitive in the global marketplace. From inception on January 2, 1997, 
through June 30, 1997, the subaccount posted a total return of 14.89% at 
unit value.

Despite a Socialist victory in the French elections and continued concern 
about the feasibility of European Monetary Union (EMU), Continental Europe 
proved to be a solid part of the fund's portfolio. In general, European 
equities benefited from increased corporate restructuring activity, low 
interest rates, and varying levels of economic recovery. Additionally, a 
strong dollar contributed to the profitability of European exporters. The 
underlying fund took advantage of this positive environment with astute 
stock selections in France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany. 

In the United Kingdom, the market reacted positively to the new Labor 
government's initial fiscal and monetary policy steps, then cooled 
somewhat as interest rates rose slightly. Despite this mixed performance 
by the overall market, the fund found several attractive opportunities in 
the pharmaceutical and consumer-products sectors.

As investors digested the effects of Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto's 
"Big Bang" economic reform policies, the once moribund Japanese economy 
showed some signs of life. For most of the period, the stock market was 
led by large, export-oriented companies that would profit from the weak 
yen. The fund found attractive opportunities among these multinational 
company stocks, as well as in the stocks of companies that had recently 
broken long-standing business customs in order to raise profitability and 
become more attractive to global investors. Management also targeted 
consumer products and services companies with improving fundamentals, 
along with cyclical stocks and other stocks that could benefit from the 
economic uptick.

While the markets often get caught up in the macroeconomic and political 
issues of a particular country or region, this fund's management takes a 
stock-by-stock approach to finding value and making investment decisions. 
As for the near future, certain European and Asian companies should 
continue to restructure and cut costs in order to improve competitiveness. 
The fund is also expected to begin investing selectively in markets 
including Mexico and Brazil, which are becoming more attractive to 
international investors.

PCM International New Opportunities Fund
Sub-Account

While the initial months of operation are a challenging time for any fund, 
it is gratifying to report that PCM International New Opportunities Fund 
subaccount was able to outpace selected emerging market and developed 
market indexes during the semiannual period. From inception on January 2, 
1997, through June 30, 1997, the subaccount posted a positive total 
return of 10.92% at unit value.

The long-term goal of the fund underlying the subaccount is to outpace 
established markets while sustaining less volatility than emerging 
markets. While management invests in stocks of companies believed to offer 
growth potential regardless of overall business conditions, a favorable 
economic climate certainly bolsters corporate performance. Many fund 
holdings operating in the emerging markets of Latin America provided a 
case in point during the recent period, receiving a boost from strong 
gross domestic product (GDP) growth, sustained inflows of capital, and 
continued political support for reform. In particular, Brazil has had an 
exceptionally strong market. Many of these top-performers were in 
telecommunications, banking, and finance, while companies in food and 
beverages and infrastructure are expanding their revenues and earnings at 
rapid paces. 

In Asia, a number of fund holdings demonstrated the ability to thrive in 
spite of occasionally trying economic environments. For example, the 
emerging market of South Korea declined in recent months, although fund 
holdings there performed well. A number of the fund's Japanese holdings -- 
particularly those companies with strong overseas operations and market 
share -- also posted strong returns despite Japan's well-publicized 
economic problems. In sharp contrast, Hong Kong's stock market has been 
buoyant in recent months, and fund holdings have benefited.

The developed markets of Western Europe have also been quite strong during 
the period, led by many of the companies in the fund's portfolio. The 
region's pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors boast many high 
growth firms, as do the advanced communications and consumer products 
sectors.

Looking ahead, fund management remains optimistic about the outlook for 
carefully selected international high-growth companies. In emerging 
markets, companies operating in lucrative industries continue to 
experience rapid revenue and earnings gains. In developed markets, 
companies in more advanced industries appear poised for growth as well. In 
short, the coming months may once again remind investors about the 
importance -- and potential rewards -- of international diversification.

PCM Money Market Fund
Sub-Account

PCM Money Market Fund subaccount began fiscal 1997 in an economic 
environment marked by solid growth, relatively moderate interest rates, 
and fairly low inflationary expectations. In fact, throughout the past six 
months, momentum was building toward higher interest rates as anticipation 
of a Federal Reserve Board rate increase dominated market psychology. 
Thus, when the Fed finally did raise rates by a quarter point in March, 
management had already positioned the subaccount appropriately, enabling 
it to tally a solid total return of 1.81% at unit value for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997. 

Once again, the underlying fund's conservative investment strategy, which 
emphasizes superior quality short-term instruments and the pursuit of high 
current income, served it well. Anticipating the Fed's move on interest 
rates, management took a defensive approach in managing the fund in order 
to maximize income while maintaining high quality. In order to allow the 
fund to take full advantage of any rise in interest rates, management 
shortened the portfolio's average maturity. This strategy avoided locking 
the portfolio into lower-yielding investments and instead provided the 
fund with an earlier opportunity to purchase the newer higher-yielding 
securities that became available as interest rates climbed.

As always, the fund retains its focus on traditional money market 
securities of the highest quality. During the semiannual period, these 
included certificates of deposit, commercial paper, bank notes, and 
government agency discount notes. Supply of these securities was steady 
during the period, and in fund management's opinion, securities were 
fairly valued.

As many investors across the board became more cautious during the first 
three months of 1997, money market funds experienced a dramatic increase 
in investor monies. This fund was no exception. As the new money flowed 
in, the combination of relatively good supply and fairly low prices was 
helpful, since it presented management with attractive investment 
opportunities to absorb the cash.

In the months ahead, fund management will continue to monitor the economic 
environment carefully. If the economy continues to gain strength, 
management believes the Fed may take preemptive moves against inflation 
with further increases in short-term rates. Should this type of 
environment persist, the fund's shorter average maturity and emphasis on 
traditional instruments should enable it to continue to seek the highest 
possible yields while maintaining the portfolio's historical high quality.

PCM New Opportunities Fund
Sub-Account

PCM New Opportunities Fund subaccount turned in solid performance for the 
semiannual period, as continued strength in the portfolio's larger-cap 
holdings was augmented by a strong rebound in the smaller, more aggressive 
holdings as well. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the subaccount 
posted a total return of 9.28% at unit value.

The key to the underlying fund's investment strategy remains individual 
stock selection based on fundamental research and analysis, and in the 
recent period this discipline found success in a wide range of industries 
among both larger-cap and smaller-cap stocks. In some parts of the 
economy, scale and size present a competitive advantage, while in other 
areas it is critical to be a niche-focused player who can move quickly and 
take market share. This fund finds investment opportunities among both.

Among small-cap growth stocks, two main themes have emerged to drive 
performance by certain market segments. First, the aging American 
population is aiding the performance of health-care stocks, and fund 
holdings in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and health-
care services have all been strong performers. Aging baby boomers also 
seem to be more value-focused in their purchases, a trend that has 
benefited portfolio holdings in retailing and consumer products. In the 
technology area, the "year 2000" dilemma (which could cause thousands of 
older computers to crash unless their software is either replaced or 
repaired) has provided a boost to holdings in software testing, software 
storage, and general application software. Media and communications 
holdings have also performed well.

The fund's large-cap holdings also benefited from some of the same general 
economic themes, although bottom-up stock selection remains the essential 
component of success in this portion of the portfolio as well. Among 
health-care holdings, pharmaceuticals and specialized rehabilitation 
center stocks have done particularly well, as have holdings in personal 
financial services, which are benefiting from increased retirement savings 
among boomers. Entertainment holdings contributed mightily to performance, 
as did value-oriented consumer stocks, particularly within the drug store 
industry.

With moderate economic growth, low inflation, low interest rates, and cash 
flows into equities continuing, in the management's view, the outlook for 
the stock market remains favorable. As always, management will carefully 
monitor the market, the economy, and Federal Reserve Board policy to 
adjust the portfolio as appropriate.

PCM New Value Fund
Sub-Account

PCM New Value Fund subaccount delivered solid performance for the 
semiannual period, although it trailed the extraordinary performance of 
the broad market. From inception on January 2, 1997, through June 30, 
1997, the subaccount posted a total return of 11.13% at net asset value. 

The main reason for the underperformance relative to the market at large 
during the semiannual period is that the underlying fund does not tend to 
invest in the high-quality blue chip stocks that have been leading the 
market. Indeed, because of the fund's structure and design, it will not 
necessarily track the market at all times. However, the fund's management 
believes the portfolio represents excellent value that will become evident 
over the long term. Once management determines that these holdings have 
fulfilled their potential in terms of the fund's objectives, they will be 
sold and others that meet management's selection criteria will be 
acquired. 

Of the three types of stocks that are included in the fund's portfolio, 
ladder stocks made the strongest contribution to performance during the 
period. These are out-of-favor stocks that, in management's view, offer 
the greatest potential rewards along with their correspondingly greater 
risk. Looking to the future, management has invested in some ladder stocks 
representing companies spun off from larger parents. Significantly, these 
companies represent attractive potential unrecognized by the market at 
large. 

Anchor stocks, selected for their high sustainable current dividends, are 
selected to provide the fund with a solid cushion of income. In this 
category, real estate investment trusts (REITs) made a positive 
contribution to results during the period, which was marked by an 
environment of stable interest rates. Ramp stocks are those of well-
established companies whose prices have declined in response to what 
management believes are short-term circumstances. 

Although the stock market has consistently reached new highs in recent 
months, future pauses of varying degrees of intensity are inevitable. The 
contrarian nature of the fund's investment style equip it well for using 
any such reverses to good advantage.

PCM U.S. Government and 
High Quality Bond Fund
Sub-Account

Amid a challenging environment of robust economic growth and rising 
interest rates, active management of the underlying fund's interest-rate 
exposure once again provided the key that enabled the PCM U.S. Government 
and High Quality Bond Fund subaccount to tally solid returns. For the six 
months ended June 30, 1997, the subaccount provided a total return of 
2.10% at unit value.

As the U.S. economy continued its upward path and the Federal Reserve 
Board notched short-term interest rates higher in March, management 
adopted a defensive strategy in order to maintain the fund's income stream 
and net asset value. Duration management has been an essential component 
of this defensive strategy, and over the past several months management 
has shortened the portfolio's duration substantially. Duration is a 
measure of the price sensitivity of a portfolio of bonds to changes in 
interest rates. Like maturity, with which it is often confused, duration 
is measured in years. In a rising interest rate environment like this one, 
a shorter duration helps protect the fund's net asset value by cushioning 
the effect of interest-rate changes. 

The portfolio's significant exposure to mortgage-backed securities also 
helped boost performance. In fact, while the fund normally keeps the bulk 
of its portfolio invested in these securities, management actually 
increased the fund's mortgage-backed security holdings during the period. 
Given their higher income streams and the fact that rising interest rates 
allayed prepayment fears, these securities outperformed Treasuries of 
comparable maturities over the period.

While U.S. government backing of individual securities does not insure 
your principal, which will fluctuate with market conditions, it does 
guarantee that the fund's government-backed holdings will make timely 
payments of interest and principal.


PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund
Sub-Account

As the financial markets fluctuated between exuberance and uncertainty 
over the past six months, PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund subaccount 
provided a relatively safe haven, despite the sensitivity of utility 
securities to changes in interest rates. While rising rates did affect 
subaccount performance during the semiannual period, management believes 
the underlying fund's diversification and positioning strategies helped 
cushion the impact. Total return for the six months ended June 30, 1997, 
was 6.12% at unit value.

During the semiannual period, management maintained its strategy of 
investing in the stocks of utility companies that were perceived to be 
undervalued, and, therefore, potential beneficiaries of deregulation. 
Although utilities investors have not historically evaluated securities on 
the basis of management expertise, focusing solely on price, yield, and 
overall growth potential, the fund's managers believe that today's 
deregulatory environment demands special management skills. Accordingly, 
they make management expertise a key factor in the security evaluation 
process, meeting with top executives of prospective holdings whenever 
possible.

In the gas and electric utilities sectors, the trend toward consolidation 
continued during the period, with new energy companies being created as a 
result. At just over 20% of assets, gas companies constituted the fund's 
second largest sector stock weighting. Management emphasized attractively 
priced stocks of smaller companies benefiting from increased gas usage and 
improved profitability. Many of these companies may also be attractive 
takeover prospects for electric utilities. When gas companies are acquired 
by electric companies, gas company shareholders tend to benefit from 
higher share prices. Among electric utilities, management also sought out 
smaller companies with solid growth and takeover potential.

Although the Telecommunications Act of 1996 ushered in a period of 
turbulence for the telephone industry, so far the effect of this 
legislation on established companies appears to be less dramatic than 
expected. In fact, the increased use of computers, facsimile machines, and 
other telecommunications tools has boosted demand for more telephone lines 
and services. Believing, therefore, that the industry's fundamentals 
remain robust, management increased the fund's investments in this area 
during the period.

Because the fund's managers believe that utility companies are poised to 
outperform other market sectors over the next year or so, they reduced the 
portfolio's nonutility holdings to just over 10% of assets. In the fixed-
income portion of the portfolio, the portfolio's allocation was kept to a 
relatively low 14.9% of assets in light of interest-rate fluctuations. The 
fund continues to hold bonds issued by a variety of utilities in several 
markets in the United States and abroad. While interest-rate uncertainty 
and deregulation may generate some short-term volatility for utilities, 
the long-term outlook remains positive.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investing in a single sector increases the possibility of greater price 
fluctuations and does not provide the diversification of a multisector 
investment. 


PCM Vista Fund 
Sub-Account

Although the stock market advance over the period was dominated by larger 
companies, it included many of the midsize growth companies that make up 
the bulk of PCM Vista Fund subaccount's portfolio. Fueled by strong stock 
selection in the technology, finance, health-care, and consumer sectors, 
the subaccount tallied a solid total return of 9.65% at unit value from 
inception on January 2, 1997, through June 30, 1997.

U.S. stocks soared to record levels once again during the period as 
investors recovered quickly from a late-March interest-rate increase by 
the Federal Reserve Board. Mid-cap companies appeared relatively more 
attractive, too, based upon their earnings potential and valuations, than 
their "Nifty Fifty" counterparts -- a handful of the largest, most liquid, 
best-known multinational companies that have dominated recent stock market 
performance. 

In the technology sector, the underlying fund's significant overweighting 
in selected software and computer services companies boosted this sector's 
contribution to return. Stock selection in the finance sector was strong 
despite the portfolio's underweighting in this top-performing sector. 
Broadcast media, soft-drink bottlers, specialty retailers, and drugstore 
positions helped performance in the consumer sector. 

In the health-care sector, the fund's health maintenance organization, 
patient-care, and medical product holdings outperformed, although the 
portfolio was overweight in a sector that generally had below-market 
returns. Positions in pollution control and office equipment 
underperformed, but a general underweighting in the more value-oriented 
cyclicals aided performance.

While many prudent investors may now well ask whether the current bull 
market run can last forever, management still sees a favorable outlook for 
stocks with above-average earnings growth rates. The market environment 
may yet exhibit short-term volatility, particularly if expectations about 
corporate earnings and interest rates remain uncertain. Nonetheless, 
management believes that the current climate of moderate economic growth, 
low inflation, and stable interest rates should benefit most sectors, and 
that, although there can be no assurance, adhering to the fund's 
investment discipline should continue to produce solid returns over the 
long term.

PCM Voyager Fund
Sub-Account

Continued strength in PCM Voyager Fund subaccount's large-cap opportunity 
stocks, along with a rebound in its smaller, more aggressive growth stock 
holdings, led the subaccount to superior performance during the period. 
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the subaccount delivered a total 
return of 10.79% at unit value.

Growth stocks recovered nicely during the second quarter as the market 
reacted positively to a benign inflationary environment. As compared with 
first quarter results, small and mid-sized stocks outperformed large-cap 
stocks, bouncing back with strong earnings from a real selloff toward the 
end of the first quarter. In fact, small-cap stocks continue to offer 
attractive valuations. 

Among market sectors, technology stocks had been particularly hard hit 
during the first quarter. In the last months of the second, they roared 
back strongly, particularly in the semiconductor area, where orders are 
improving worldwide. With a large commitment to technology stocks, the 
portfolio realized significant gains from this turn of events. Health care 
remains another important player in the portfolio, and this sector 
continues to reap the rewards of an aging population's increased need for 
pharmaceuticals, medical devices, facilities, and various health-care 
services. Consumer stocks formed another large part of the portfolio, and 
these continued to benefit from strong consumer spending resulting from 
the rising economy. Industrial and financial services stocks also figured 
prominently among fund holdings. The financial services stocks performed 
particularly well, spurred by baby boomers saving for retirement. 

Given the beneficial impact of the moderately growing economy and 
relatively stable interest rate environment, management continues to 
expect solid performance from both large-cap and small-cap stocks. Despite 
the recent runup in growth stocks, the outlook for remains favorable, 
since those with above-average earnings growth rates should continue to 
outperform in this environment.

PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT -- 
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION:

Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account (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. The Account consists of twenty-two subaccounts. These financial 
statements include ten subaccounts which invest solely in the Putnam 
Capital Manager Trust funds (the Funds). The other twelve subaccounts, 
which invest in the Hartford and Fidelity Mutual Funds, are presented in 
separate financial statements. Both the Company and the Account are 
subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of Insurance of 
the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests deposits by 
variable annuity contractholders of the company in the various mutual 
funds as directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the 
Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles in the investment company industry:

A) Security Transactions -- Security transactions are recorded on the 
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of 
investments sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend 
and capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital 
gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized 
as capital gains under tax regulations.

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are 
valued at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the 
appropriate Fund as of June 30, 1997.

C) Federal Income Taxes -- The operations of the Account form a part of, 
and are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as 
an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, 
no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the 
Account.

D) Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the 
period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts 
derived from management's estimates.

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

A) Mortality and Expense Undertakings -- The Company, as issuer of 
variable annuity contracts, provides the mortality and expense 
undertakings and, with respect to the Account, receives a maximum annual 
fee of 1.25% of the Account's average daily net assets. The Company also 
provides administrative services and receives an annual fee of 0.15% of 
the Account's average daily net assets.

B) Deduction of other Fees -- Annual maintenance fees are deducted through 
termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' 
accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT VARIABLE LIFE ONE -- 
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION:

Separate Account Variable Life One (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. The 
Account consists of twenty-two subaccounts. These financial statements 
include ten subaccounts which invest solely in the Putnam Capital Manager 
Trust funds (the Funds). The other twelve subaccounts, which invest in the 
Hartford and Fidelity Mutual Funds, are presented in separate financial 
statements. Both the Company and the Account are subject to supervision 
and regulation by the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut 
and the SEC. The Account invests deposits by variable life contractholders 
of the Company in the various mutual funds as directed by the 
contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the 
Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles in the investment company industry:

A) Security Transactions -- Security transactions are recorded on the 
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of 
investments sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend 
and capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital 
gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized 
as capital gains under tax regulations.

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued 
at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate 
Fund as of June 30, 1997.

C) Federal Income Taxes -- The operations of the Account form a part of, 
and are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as 
an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, 
no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the 
Account.

D) Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the 
period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts 
derived from management's estimates.

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes 
deductions for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, 
administrative fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted 
through termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' 
accounts.

PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT VARIABLE LIFE TWO -- 
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION:

Separate Account Variable Life Two (the Account) is a separate investment 
account within Hartford Life Insurance Company (the Company) and is 
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a unit 
investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The 
Account consists of twenty-two subaccounts. These financial statements 
include ten subaccounts which invest solely in the Putnam Capital Manager 
Trust funds (the Funds). The other twelve subaccounts, which invest in the 
Hartford and Fidelity Mutual Funds, are presented in separate financial 
statements. Both the Company and the Account are subject to supervision 
and regulation by the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut 
and the SEC. The Account invests deposits by variable life contractholders 
of the Company in the various mutual funds as directed by the 
contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the 
Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles in the investment company industry:

A) Security Transactions -- Security transactions are recorded on the 
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of 
investments sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend 
and capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital 
gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized 
as capital gains under tax regulations.

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are 
valued at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the 
appropriate Fund as of June 30, 1997.

C) Federal Income Taxes -- The operations of the Account form a part of, 
and are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as 
an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, 
no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the 
Account.

D) Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the 
period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts 
derived from management's estimates.

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes 
deductions for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, 
administrative fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted 
through termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' 
accounts.

PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE -- 
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION:

Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Five (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. The Account consists of twenty-two subaccounts. These 
financial statements include ten subaccounts which invest solely in the 
Putnam Capital Manager Trust funds (the Funds). The other twelve 
subaccounts, which invest in the Hartford and Fidelity Mutual Funds, are 
presented in separate financial statements. Both the Company and the 
Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of 
Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests 
deposits by variable life contractholders of the Company in various mutual 
funds (the Funds) as directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the 
Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles in the investment company industry:

A) Security Transactions -- Security transactions are recorded on the 
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of 
investments sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend 
and capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital 
gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized 
as capital gains under tax regulations.

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are 
valued at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the 
appropriate Fund as of June 30, 1997.

C) Federal Income Taxes -- The operations of the Account form a part of, 
and are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as 
an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, 
no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the 
Account.

D) Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the 
period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts 
derived from management's estimates.

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes 
deductions for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, 
administrative fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted 
through termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' 
accounts.

PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO -- 
ITT HARTFORD LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE 

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited) 

1. ORGANIZATION:

Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Two (the Account) is a 
separate investment account within ITT Hartford Life & Annuity 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. The Account consists of twenty-two subaccounts. 
These financial statements include ten subaccounts which invest solely in 
the Putnam Capital Manager Trust funds (the Funds). The other twelve 
subaccounts, which invest in the Hartford and Fidelity Mutual Funds, are 
presented in separate financial statements. Both the Company and the 
Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of 
Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests 
deposits by variable annuity contract-holders of the Company in the 
various mutual funds as directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the 
Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles in the investment company industry:

A) Security Transactions -- Security transactions are recorded on the 
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of 
investments sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend 
and capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital 
gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized 
as capital gains under tax regulations.

B) Security Valuation -- The investment in shares of the Funds are 
valued at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the 
appropriate Fund as of June 30, 1997.

C) Federal Income Taxes -- The operations of the Account form a part of, 
and are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as 
an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, 
no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the 
Account.

D) Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the 
period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts 
derived from management's estimates.

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

A) Mortality and Expense Undertakings -- The Company, as issuer of 
variable annuity contracts, provides the mortality and expense 
undertakings and, with respect to the Account, receives a maximum annual 
fee of 1.25% of the Account's average daily net assets. The Company also 
provides administrative services and receives an annual fee of 0.15% of 
the Account's average daily net assets.

B) Deduction of Annual Maintenance Fees -- Annual maintenance fees are 
deducted through termination of units of interest from applicable contract 
owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE -- 
ITT HARTFORD LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE 

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION:

Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Five (the Account) is a 
separate investment account within ITT Hartford Life & Annuity 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. The Account consists of twenty-two subaccounts. 
These financial statements include ten subaccounts which invest solely in 
the Putnam Capital Manager Trust funds (the Funds). The other twelve 
subaccounts, which invest in the Hartford and Fidelity Mutual Funds, are 
presented in separate financial statements. Both the Company and the 
Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of 
Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests 
deposits by variable life contractholders of the Company in the various 
mutual funds as directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the 
Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles in the investment company industry:

A) Security Transactions -- Security  transactions are recorded on the 
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of 
investments sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend 
and capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital 
gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized 
as capital gains under tax regulations.

B) Security Valuation -- The investment in shares of the Funds are 
valued at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the 
appropriate Fund as of June 30, 1997.

C) Federal Income Taxes -- The operations of the Account form a part of, 
and are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as 
an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, 
no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the 
Account.

D) Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the 
period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts 
derived from management's estimates.

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes 
deductions for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, 
administrative fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted 
through termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' 
accounts.

PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT VARIABLE LIFE ONE -- 
ITT HARTFORD LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE 

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION:

Separate Account Variable Life One (the Account) is a separate investment 
account within ITT Hartford Life and Annuity 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. The Account consists of twenty-two subaccounts. These 
financial statements include ten subaccounts which invest solely in the 
Putnam Capital Manager Trust funds (the Funds). The other twelve 
subaccounts, which invest in the Hartford and Fidelity Mutual Funds, are 
presented in separate financial statements. Both the Company and the 
Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of 
Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests 
deposits by variable life contractholders of the Company in the various 
mutual funds as directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the 
Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles in the investment company industry:

A) Security Transactions -- Security transactions are recorded on the 
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of 
investments sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend 
and capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital 
gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized 
as capital gains under tax regulations.

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are 
valued at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the 
appropriate Fund as of June 30, 1997.

C) Federal Income Taxes -- The operations of the Account form a part of, 
and are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as 
an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, 
no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the 
Account.

D) Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the 
period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts 
derived from management's estimates.

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes 
deductions for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, 
administrative fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted 
through termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' 
accounts.

PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT VARIABLE LIFE TWO -- 
ITT HARTFORD LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE 

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION:

Separate Account Variable Life Two (the Account) is a separate investment 
account within ITT Hartford Life and Annuity 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. The Account consists of twenty-two subaccounts. These 
financial statements include ten subaccounts which invest solely in the 
Putnam Capital Manager Trust funds (the Funds). The other twelve 
subaccounts, which invest in the Hartford and Fidelity Mutual Funds, are 
presented in separate financial statements. Both the Company and the 
Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of 
Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests 
deposits by variable life contractholders of the Company in the various 
mutual funds as directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the 
Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles in the investment company industry:

A) Security Transactions -- Security transactions are recorded on the 
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of 
investments sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend 
and capital gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital 
gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized 
as capital gains under tax regulations.

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are 
valued at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the 
appropriate Fund as of June 30, 1997.

C) Federal Income Taxes -- The operations of the Account form a part 
of, and are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is 
taxed as an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under 
current law, no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the 
operations of the Account.

D) Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the 
period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts 
derived from management's estimates.

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes 
deductions for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, 
administrative fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted 
through termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' 
accounts.

PUTNAM VARIABLE TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

Putnam Variable Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment 
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management 
investment company (except for Putnam VT Utilities Growth and Income Fund, 
which is non-diversified) which consists of a series of investment 
portfolios (the "funds"), each of which is represented by a separate series 
of shares of beneficial interest. The Trust currently offers the following 
sixteen funds: Putnam VT Asia Pacific Growth Fund, Putnam VT Diversified 
Income Fund, Putnam VT Global Asset Allocation Fund, Putnam VT Global 
Growth Fund, Putnam VT Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT High Yield Fund, 
Putnam VT International Growth Fund, Putnam VT International Growth and 
Income Fund, Putnam VT International New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT 
Money Market Fund, Putnam VT New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT New Value 
Fund, Putnam VT U.S. Government and High Quality Bond Fund, Putnam VT 
Utilities Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT Vista Fund and Putnam VT 
Voyager Fund. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies 
consistently followed by the Trust in preparation of its financial 
statements. The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles and requires management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A) Security valuation For all funds other than Putnam VT Money Market Fund, 
investments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at 
market value, which is determined using the last reported sale price on the 
principal market on which such securities are traded, or, if no sales are 
reported--as in the case of some securities traded over-the-counter--the 
last reported bid price. Securities quoted in foreign currencies are 
translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. Short-term 
investments having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are stated at 
amortized cost, which approximates market value. Other investments, 
including restricted securities, are stated at fair value following 
procedures approved by the Trustees. Market quotations are not considered 
to be readily available for long-term corporate bonds and notes; such 
investments are stated at fair value on the basis of valuations furnished 
by a pricing service, approved by the Trustees, or dealers which determine 
valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities 
using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities and 
variable relationships between securities that are generally recognized by 
institutional traders. (See Sections H and I with respect to the valuation 
of futures and options, forward currency contracts.) 

The valuation of Putnam VT Money Market Fund's portfolio is determined by 
means of the amortized cost method, which approximates market value, as set 
forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The amortized 
cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at cost originally and 
thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a 
constant rate until maturity.

B) Joint trading account Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the 
Securities and Exchange Commission, each fund may transfer uninvested cash 
balances into a joint trading account along with the cash of other 
registered investment companies and certain other accounts managed by 
Putnam Investment Management, Inc. ("Putnam Management"), the funds' 
Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, Inc.. These 
balances may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements and/or short-
term money market instruments. 

C) Repurchase agreements The funds, or any joint trading account, through 
their custodian, receive delivery of the underlying securities, the market 
value of which at the time of purchase is required to be in an amount at 
least equal to the resale price, including accrued interest. Putnam 
Management is responsible for determining that the value of these 
underlying securities is at all times at least equal to the resale price, 
including accrued interest.

D) Security transactions and related investment income Security 
transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or 
sell is executed). Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. 
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain 
dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the fund is 
informed of the ex-dividend date. Discounts on zero coupon bonds, original 
issue discount, stepped-coupon bonds and payment in kind bonds are accreted 
according to the effective yield method.

Securities purchased or sold on a forward commitment or delayed delivery 
basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date; interest income 
is accrued based on the terms of the security. Losses may arise due to 
changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the 
counterparty does not perform under the contract.

E) TBA purchase commitments Each fund, (except for Putnam VT Money Market 
Fund) may enter into "TBA" (to be announced) purchase commitments to 
purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a future date beyond 
customary settlement time. Although the unit price has been established, 
the principal value has not been finalized. However, the amount of the 
commitments will not fluctuate more than 1.0% from the principal amount. 
The fund holds, and maintains until settlement date, cash or high-grade 
debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price, or the 
fund may enter into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other 
securities it owns. Income on the securities will not be earned until 
settlement date. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in 
themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be 
purchased declines prior to the settlement date, which risk is in addition 
to the risk of decline in the value of a fund's other assets. Unsettled TBA 
purchase commitments are valued at the current market value of the 
underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described 
under "Security valuation" above.

Although a fund will generally enter into TBA purchase commitments with the 
intention of acquiring securities for its portfolio or for delivery 
pursuant to options contracts it has entered into, the fund may dispose of 
a commitment prior to settlement if Putnam Management deems it appropriate 
to do so. 

F) TBA sale commitments Each fund, (except Putnam VT Money Market Fund) may 
enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell 
mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. 
Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual 
settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, 
equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment 
deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as "cover" for 
the transaction.

Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of 
the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described 
under "Security valuation" above. The contract is "marked-to-market" daily 
and the change in market value is recorded by a fund as an unrealized gain 
or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an 
offsetting purchase commitment, the fund realizes a gain or loss on the 
underlying security. If the fund delivers securities under the commitment, 
the fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based 
upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered 
into.

G) Foreign currency translation The accounting records of the Trust are 
maintained in U.S. dollars. The market value of foreign securities, 
currency holdings, other assets and liabilities are recorded in the books 
and records of the Trust after translation to U.S. dollars based on the 
exchange rates on that day. The cost of each security is determined using 
historical exchange rates. Income and withholding taxes are translated at 
prevailing exchange rates when accrued or incurred. The Trust does not 
isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains or losses resulting 
from changes in the foreign exchange rate on investments from fluctuations 
arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. Such 
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss 
on investments. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency 
transactions represent net exchange gains or losses on closed forward 
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies and the difference 
between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes 
recorded on the Trust's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts 
actually received or paid. Net unrealized gains and losses on foreign 
currency transactions arise from changes in the value of open forward 
currency contracts and assets and liabilities, other than investments, at 
the period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

H) Forward currency contracts Each fund, (except Putnam VT Money Market 
Fund), may engage in forward currency contracts, which are agreements 
between two parties to buy and sell currencies at a set price on a future 
date, to protect against a decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar of 
the currencies in which its portfolio securities are denominated or quoted 
(or an increase in the value of a currency in which securities a fund 
intends to buy are denominated, when a fund holds cash reserves and short-
term investments). The U.S. dollar value of forward currency contracts is 
determined using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation 
service. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in 
currency exchange rates. The contract is "marked to market" daily and the 
change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the 
contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the 
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and 
the value at the time it was closed. The fund could be exposed to risk if 
the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the 
contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the fund is 
unable to enter into a closing position.

I) Futures and options contracts Each fund (other than Putnam VT High Yield 
Fund and Putnam VT Money Market Fund) may use futures and options contracts 
to hedge against changes in the values of securities the fund owns or 
expects to purchase. Each fund (other than Putnam VT High Yield Fund and 
Putnam VT Money Market Fund) may also write options on securities it owns 
or which it invests to increase its current returns.

The potential risk to each fund is that the change in value of futures and 
options contracts may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged 
instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the 
underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the 
contracts, or if the counterparty to the contract is unable to perform.

Futures contracts are valued at the quoted daily settlement prices 
established by the exchange on which they trade. Exchange traded options 
are valued at the last sale price, or if no sales are reported, the last 
bid price for purchased options and the last ask price for written options. 
Options traded over-the-counter are valued using prices supplied by 
dealers.

J) Federal income taxes Each fund of the Trust is created as a separate 
entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each fund to 
distribute all of its taxable income within the prescribed time and 
otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code 
applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision has 
been made for federal taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized 
appreciation on securities held and for excise tax on income and capital 
gains.

At December 31, 1996 the following funds had capital loss carryovers, 
which will expire on the following dates:

                              Loss Carryover         Expiration Date
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Putnam VT Asia Pacific 
Growth Fund                      $   202,000       December 31, 2003
                                   1,720,000       December 31, 2004
Putnam VT New 
Opportunities Fund                 1,756,000       December 31, 2003
                                  24,242,000       December 31, 2004
Putnam VT U.S. Government and 
High Quality Bond Fund             5,831,000       December 31, 2002
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

These capital loss carryovers may be used to offset realized 
gains, if any. 

K) Distributions to shareholders Distributions to shareholders from net 
investment income are recorded by the funds on the ex-dividend date. 
Capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date 
and paid at least annually. The amount and character of income and gains to 
be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations 
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. 
Reclassifications are made to the fund's capital accounts to reflect income 
and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) 
under income tax regulations.

L) Expenses of the Trust Expenses directly charged or attributable to any 
fund will be paid from the assets of that fund. Generally, expenses of the 
Trust will be allocated among and charged to the assets of each fund on a 
basis that the Trustees deem fair and equitable, which may be based on the 
relative assets of each fund or the nature of the services performed and 
relative applicability to each fund.

M) Beneficial Interest At June 30, 1997, insurance companies or their 
separate accounts were record owners of all but a de minimis number of the 
shares of each fund. From 85% to almost 100% of each fund is owned by 
accounts of one group of insurance companies.

Putnam Management has voluntarily agreed to limit expenses of Putnam VT 
International Growth Fund, Putnam VT International Growth and Income Fund, 
Putnam VT International New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT New Value Fund 
and Putnam VT Vista Fund to an annual rate of 1.2%, 1.2%, 1.6%, 1.1% and 
1.05%, respectively, of the fund's average daily net assets. The fund's 
expenses subject to this limitation are exclusive of brokerage, interest, 
taxes, insurance, amortization of deferred organization expenses, 
extraordinary expenses and credits from Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company 
("PFTC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, Inc., if any. 
These limitations will expire on December 31, 1997.

As part of the custodian contract between the subcustodian bank and PFTC, 
the subcustodian bank has a lien on the securities of Putnam VT Asia 
Pacific Growth Fund, Putnam VT Global Asset Allocation Fund, Putnam VT 
International New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT Money Market Fund, and, 
Putnam VT Utilities Growth and Income Fund to the extent permitted by the 
funds' investment restrictions to cover any advances made by the 
subcustodian bank for the settlement of securities purchased by the funds. 
At June 30, 1997, the payable to the subcustodian bank represents the 
amount due for cash advance for the settlement of a security purchased.

The Trust reimburses Putnam Management for the compensation and related 
expenses of certain officers of the Trust and their staff who provide 
administrative services to the Trust. The aggregate amount of all such 
reimbursements is determined annually by the Trustees.

Custodial functions for each fund's assets are provided by PFTC. Investor 
servicing agent functions are provided by Putnam Investor Services, a 
division of PFTC. 

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, each fund's expenses were reduced 
by the following amounts under expense offset arrangements with PFTC and 
brokerage service arrangements.

Investor servicing and custodian fees reported in the Statement of 
operations exclude these credits. Each fund could have invested a portion 
of these assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangements 
in an income producing asset if it had not entered into such arrangements.

Trustees of the Trust receive an annual Trustees fee of $12,653 and an 
additional fee for each Trustee's meeting attended. Trustees who are not 
interested persons of Putnam Management and who serve on committees of the 
Trustees receive additional fees for attendance at certain committee 
meetings.

Each fund has adopted a Trustee Fee Deferral Plan (the "Plan") which allows 
the Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Trustees Fees 
payable on or after July 1, 1995. The deferred fees remain in each fund and 
are invested in certain Putnam funds until distribution in accordance with 
the Plan.

Each fund has adopted an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension 
plan (the "Pension Plan") covering all Trustees of the fund who have served 
as Trustee for at least five years. Benefits under the Pension Plan are 
equal to 50% of the Trustee's average total retainer and meeting fees for 
the three years preceding retirement. Pension expense for the fund is 
included in Compensation of Trustees in the Statement of operations. 
Accrued pension liability is included in Payable for compensation of 
Trustees in the Statement of assets and liabilities.
