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

While Asia's financial downturn continued to pose difficulties for that 
region and its trading partners, many of the world's financial markets 
enjoyed positive growth. Relatively stable interest rates, low inflation, 
and positive changes in business operations provided a solid backdrop for 
moderate economic growth and favorable market performance in many countries. 
As in 1997, U.S. equities again outperformed foreign stocks, while U.S. 
bonds continued to lead the world's fixed-income markets.

EQUITIES

* United States While the staggering pace of advance in U.S. stocks has 
cooled of late, the market remains strong. Valuations have improved and low 
inflation and low interest rates presage a favorable environment for stocks 
over the near term. As the Asian downturn continued to hamper manufacturers 
and exporters with links to that region, companies whose operations focused 
on the domestic economy prospered by comparison. Growth stocks outpaced 
value stocks during the first half of 1998 and large-capitalization stocks, 
benefiting from Asian-inspired investor caution, outperformed stocks of 
small and midsize companies. Performance was mixed within sectors, although 
consumer cyclicals, technology, and health care -- all growth-oriented, 
large-cap sectors -- were superior performers.

* Europe With corporate restructurings and an increased emphasis on 
shareholder value continuing in many European companies, stocks from this 
region posted solid performance during the first half of 1998. Europe's 
Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) is still on track for implementation in 
1999, interest rates and inflation remain low, and economic activity is 
gradually picking up across most of Europe. The United Kingdom's stock 
market lagged its counterparts across the Channel, but improved valuations 
have brightened its outlook. Spain, Italy, and Finland tallied the strongest 
returns for the period.

* Pacific Rim The financial disruptions that began in the latter half of 
1997 continued throughout much of the region. South Korea was one of the few 
bright spots as debt rescheduling and the new president's willingness to 
accept International Monetary Fund reforms led investors to view the country 
more favorably. Shortly thereafter, the Japanese government announced 
another stimulus package, leading to a brief rally in several Asian markets. 

FIXED INCOME

* United States Asian problems continued to fuel U.S. fixed-income 
performance as nervous international investors flocked to the high credit 
quality and attractive yields offered by U.S. bonds. The market also 
benefited from low inflation, lower issuance of new Treasury bonds brought 
on by the balanced Federal budget, and emerging signs of a slowing economy. 
Although the lowest long-term bond yields in modern history have brought 
valuations from cheap to fair value, as long as Japan languishes, we believe 
U.S. fixed-income investments should continue to perform well.

* Global Performance in foreign fixed-income markets varied widely, despite 
a favorable backdrop of soft global inflation. The United Kingdom and 
Europe's peripheral markets of Spain, Italy, and Sweden posted the period's 
strongest returns, while Japan and other Asian markets trailed. Core 
European markets performed well, too, as a result of sluggish German 
economic growth and expectations that the EMU would begin operating as 
scheduled in January 1999. As the period closed, valuations in many markets 
were stretched, and with economic activity poised to accelerate in Europe 
and perhaps Japan, we believe foreign bond performance could, very well lag 
the U.S. market in the months ahead.

* High Yield Once again, high-yield bonds were the strongest-performing 
sector of the domestic bond market, propelled by the same forces that pushed 
Treasury bonds and stocks higher. These forces included solid economic 
growth and low inflation, low default rates, steady demand, and ongoing 
consolidation activity. Following a pattern that has prevailed for well over 
a year, high-yield issues of companies in telecommunications, cable TV, and 
broadcasting industries led the way. New issuance also continued at a 
record-breaking pace, driven by favorable interest rates, expanding 
businesses, and strong investor demand.

PCM Asia Pacific Growth Fund 
Sub-Account

While the Asian financial crisis of 1997 dampened returns for the PCM Asia 
Pacific Growth Fund subaccount in the early months of the period, we have 
begun to reposition assets and reevaluate companies as the region's markets 
and currencies have recovered from their lows. For the six months ended June 
30, 1998, the subaccount posted returns of -12.68% at unit value. 

After a period of significant volatility and major declines among stock 
markets throughout Asia, in early 1998, the tide began to turn somewhat. 
Improved sentiment in the Asian markets led us to move back into the Hong 
Kong banking and property sectors and to add to positions in Singapore. In 
Hong Kong, interest rates began to fall as investors took heart from the 
government's determination to keep the Hong Kong dollar closely pegged to 
the U.S. dollar. Singapore bank stocks represented another area of 
opportunity. The portfolio's holdings include banks with solid domestic loan 
books and balance sheets that are the strongest in the region. 

Although South Korea has a way to go in dealing with its debt and the 
inefficiencies in its financial system, we believe the bounce back in the 
market and the commitment of the new government offer investors an 
opportunity to buy into the world's 11th largest economy.

By the end of March, it became clear that the Chinese economy was indeed 
slowing. The deceleration, higher unemployment, and particularly a drop in 
export growth have caused economists to worry that China, like its Asian 
neighbors, would devalue its currency, causing another wave of market 
volatility. In our view, Japan's potential for economic recovery represents 
the other key variable for regional stock market performance in the coming 
months. Should the government take meaningful measures to stimulate consumer 
demand and restructure the bad debt plaguing Japanese banks, the region's 
stock markets could be poised for significant outperformance relative to 
U.S. equities. In the meantime, we will continue to target only 
fundamentally strong economies such as Hong Kong and Singapore, while 
continuing to seek out financially strong companies able to withstand any 
future economic problems in the region.

PCM Diversified Income Fund 
Sub-Account

Despite continued fallout from the Asian financial crisis which dampened 
performance from PCM Diversified Income Fund subaccount's international 
equities sector, the subaccount's other two sectors -- U.S. taxable 
investment-grade securities and high-yield bonds -- actually fared quite 
well during the period. International bond markets obviously faced tough 
times, but strategic portfolio shifts allowed us to soften the blow of 
Asia's currency and debt crisis on fund performance. For the six months 
ended June 30, 1998, the subaccount posted returns of 2.15% at unit value.

Throughout the period, the Asian crisis actually boosted performance in the 
U.S. taxable investment-grade bond market. Nervous international investors 
flocked to the high credit quality and attractive yields offered by U.S. 
bonds, dramatically bidding up prices of U.S. Treasuries. While this flight 
to quality was good news for the underlying fund, we believe our focus on 
mortgage-backed securities meant the fund could possibly have benefited more 
fully from the Treasury rally. The fund's focus on these securities was 
meant to take advantage of the higher yields available on mortgage-backed 
securities because of an increased prepayment risk in the period's falling 
interest-rate environment.

The Asian currency and debt crisis took its toll on many international 
markets, hitting the emerging markets especially hard. However, these bonds 
staged a remarkable recovery in 1998. In a situation similar to the Treasury 
rally, this rebound helped the fund, but because we had positioned this 
portion of the portfolio defensively, the fund did not take full advantage 
of the emerging-markets comeback. Elsewhere in the world, the fund benefited 
from a significant position in the rallying United Kingdom bond market. 
Exposure to Japanese government bonds, which were hurt by the country's 
troubled political and economic climate, has been minimized.

The high-yield bond market once again led domestic bond market performance 
as the strong economy, low inflation, and low interest rates provided a 
favorable backdrop for credit upgrades, mergers and acquisitions, and new 
bond issuance. Leading the way among high-yield issues were those of 
companies in telecommunications, cable TV, and broadcasting industries, all 
of which contributed to fund performance during the period.

Going forward, we expect continued strength in the high-yield and U.S. 
taxable investment-grade sectors, and remain more cautious about 
international bond markets and the outlook for global economic growth.

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 The George Putnam Fund of Boston
Sub-Account

As the stock market showed some nervousness and kept a wary eye on earnings 
as well as events in Asia, a conservative philosophy and prudent 
diversification served PCM The George Putnam Fund of Boston subaccount well. 
Although the initial operating months can be a challenging time for any 
fund, the subaccount held its own to post a total return of -0.83% for the 
period April 30, 1998, through June 30, 1998.

With its balanced combination of stocks and corporate and government bonds, 
the underlying fund takes an all-weather approach to investing. Indeed, as 
the recent period demonstrates, a balanced portfolio can help the fund 
withstand all kinds of market turmoil -- even problems that originate on the 
other side of the globe. Thus, as economic recession in Asia slowed Wall 
Street's gallop during 1998's second quarter, the fund's diversified 
portfolio showed resiliency. 

During the past several months, the portfolio's stock holdings, which 
represented more than 60% of fund assets, made the largest contribution to 
performance. Although large-capitalization growth stocks retained the 
leadership position they have held for the past three years, the fund's 
larger-cap value stocks showed strong gains, notably in the financial 
services and technology sectors. Technology, perhaps the most volatile 
sector, rebounded dramatically in the second quarter of 1998. We remain 
confident that the fund's disciplined strategy of investing in undervalued 
but fundamentally strong companies may continue to achieve above-average 
returns and below-average volatility over time.

The fixed-income portion of the portfolio also provided solid returns as 
nervous international investors continued to take comfort in the high levels 
of credit quality and relatively attractive yields of the U.S. bond market. 
U.S. Treasuries were the primary beneficiaries of this flight to quality, 
since the corporate bond market had some difficulty digesting a significant 
surge in supply spurred on by falling interest rates; more than $75 billion 
of investment-grade debt was issued during the first quarter of 1998 versus 
$150 billion for all of 1997. Despite the increased supply, strong 
fundamentals and a positive economic backdrop led corporate bonds to post 
positive returns.

Looking ahead, we expect continued volatility as Asian-inspired concerns 
remain and investors await clearer signs from the U.S. economy and the 
Federal Reserve Board. Amid this challenging environment, the fund's 
conservative strategy and diversified portfolio prepare it well to face a 
variety of market situations.

PCM Global Asset Allocation Fund 
Sub-Account

As the world's financial markets provided investors with a host of 
challenges during the past several months, the diversification benefits 
offered by PCM Global Asset Allocation Fund subaccount's mix of asset 
classes enabled investors to take advantage of the stronger-performing 
classes while reducing the effects of market volatility. For the six months 
ended June 30, 1998, the subaccount delivered a total return of 9.71% at 
unit value.

An ideal combination of moderate economic growth and benign inflation 
continued to benefit the U.S. stock market throughout the period. The large-
capitalization growth portion of the three portfolios performed well 
primarily because of strong stock selection and overweighted positions in 
the technology, health-care, and retail sectors. The small-cap component 
also contributed to returns largely because of an emphasis on cyclical and 
technology sectors. With corporate earnings growth slowing, we look for 
positive, though less robust returns from U.S. equities going forward.

In addition to favorable domestic conditions, the U.S. bond market also 
benefited from a flight to quality among international investors. In the 
U.S. investment-grade portion of the portfolios, astute selection among 
mortgage-backed and corporate securities and overweighted positions in 
adjustable-rate mortgages and the finance sector of the corporate bond 
market helped boost performance. Low inflation, low Treasury supply, and 
attractive valuations make the outlook for U.S. bonds positive for the 
months ahead.

Despite a strong dollar (which can reduce gains on international stocks for 
U.S. dollar-based investors), international stocks recovered nicely toward 
the end of March. Corporate restructurings, increased emphasis on 
shareholder value, and the on-track EMU helped fuel European stock gains. In 
Japan, investor confidence remains shaken by the stagnating economy and the 
yen's instability. The funds' performance benefited from an overweight 
position in France, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Portugal, combined 
with underweight exposure to Japan. Strong economic fundamentals and solid 
valuations make the outlook bright for European equities. Asian and emerging 
markets bear cautious observation, however, as we await positive changes in 
Japan's economy and any move by China to devalue its currency.

International fixed-income markets rallied during the period, although the 
strong U.S. dollar canceled out local-market gains for U.S.-dollar based 
investors. European bonds outperformed, while Japanese bonds underperformed. 
The funds' overweighting in the top-performing U.K. bonds boosted returns 
while its underweighting in Japan also helped performance. Stretched 
valuations warrant caution in foreign bond markets for the foreseeable 
future.

PCM Global Growth Fund
Sub-Account

In the early part of PCM Global Growth Fund subaccount's semiannual period, 
negative repercussions of the Asian financial crisis on many of the growth-
oriented companies in the portfolio dampened performance. However, by 
continuing to emphasize high-quality, large-capitalization growth companies 
considered to be industry leaders, the subaccount tallied a solid total 
return of 19.99% at unit value for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

The liberalization of markets and the process of globalization have created 
a worldwide demand for technology that would have been inconceivable just a 
short time ago. Therefore, the underlying fund's focus on growth means that 
it was -- and continues to be -- heavily invested in technology. 
Consequently, as concerns about Asian demand clouded earnings expectations 
for technology companies, the fund's performance inevitably was affected. 
However, in calendar 1998, our patience has paid off.

Many segments of technology bounced back, as investors began to recognize 
the inherent strengths of some technology-related firms. Additionally, in 
some cases, market weakness gave the fund an opportunity to add to positions 
in companies that we believe have significant growth prospects. During the 
period, the fund sought to take advantage of the worldwide growth of 
cellular communications and equipment, software, and personal computers.

The pharmaceutical industry had a somewhat bumpy ride during the period. 
Nevertheless, this sector also remains an important growth area for the 
fund. We targeted companies that we believe have solid product portfolios, 
fill niche areas in the market, and offer strong capabilities in marketing 
new drugs. Certain of these holdings have already demonstrated their strong 
performance as the issuing companies sustained impressive earnings growth 
over the period.

Japan's economy has not improved during the past several months. Therefore 
the fund continues to hold a smaller position in Japanese stocks relative to 
its benchmark index. As earnings continued to decline during the period, we 
began to sell some of the multinational exporting firms in the portfolio. 
However, the fund did add technology holdings from companies believed to be 
well-positioned to benefit from the world's increasing demand for 
technology.

In our view, fairly low interest rates and high liquidity around the world, 
along with favorable developments in many of the fund's targeted industries, 
make the near-term performance outlook quite positive.

PCM Growth and Income Fund 
Sub-Account

The strategy of investing in companies undergoing constructive change that 
has not been recognized by the market continued to serve PCM Growth and 
Income Fund subaccount well during the recent semiannual period. Indeed, 
this strategy helped the underlying fund weather the market volatility 
ignited by events in Asia in the past several months. For the six months 
ended June 30, 1998, the subaccount posted a total return of 9.16% at unit 
value. 

These solid returns may seem to be a continuation of the market's upward 
trend that began in 1995, but it is important to note that this period 
included serious bouts of volatility resulting from the Asian financial 
crisis and fears of slackening profits for U.S. corporations. We believe 
that the fund's cautious strategy, which favors less volatile dividend-
paying stocks, functioned well during the period by enabling the portfolio 
to show resilience on days when many other stocks tumbled.

While market volatility is rarely a pleasant experience, it typically 
generates opportunities to buy stocks of promising companies at unusual 
discounts. During the past six months, several companies that met our 
criteria for what we consider positive change became available at attractive 
prices. These included stocks in the financial, oil, and retail sectors. 

In the financial sector, the Asian crisis frightened off many investors who 
worried that large U.S. banks would be hurt by the performance of their 
international loans. In fact, before the end of the period, two of the banks 
announced a merger plan that resulted in higher stock prices for each. 

The oil industry also suffered because of its connections to Asia, although 
in this case the industry-wide decline in stock prices made more sense -- it 
was tied directly to falling demand for energy in Asia. As prices dropped to 
what we consider to be opportunity levels, the fund added several stocks of 
well-run oil companies that are favorably positioned to benefit when oil 
prices rise again, in our view a likelihood in the next two or three years. 
In the retail industry, the fund added to several existing positions in 
companies that had struggled in recent years. The move was rewarded as these 
stocks rallied in early 1998, when the companies profited from cheaper 
clothing imports from Asia and strong consumer spending fueled by low 
interest rates.

PCM Health Sciences Fund 
Sub-Account

The initial period of operation can be a challenging time for any fund, and 
the past few months have brought more than a few hurdles for PCM Health 
Sciences Fund subaccount. Small-company stocks remained out of favor, and 
the underlying fund's 20% to 25% stake in these stocks dampened returns 
somewhat. However, many of the fund's holdings performed quite well, 
illustrating one of the most powerful advantages of investing in the health-
care industry: its products and services tend to stay in demand regardless 
of economic conditions. For the period April 30, 1998, through June 30, 
1998, the subaccount tallied a total return of 0.47% at unit value.

Demand for the strongest companies in the portfolio -- those developing 
innovative drugs, treatments, and devices for illnesses and diseases -- 
remained strong despite a rather turbulent time for the world's financial 
markets. As the U.S. population ages, long-term prospects for these 
companies look even more promising. In addition, as last fall's Asian 
currency and debt crisis sent the world's stock markets reeling, this fund 
successfully weathered much of the volatility because it invests in 
companies with relatively low exposure to the troubled economies. Examples 
include pharmaceuticals, medical technology companies, and drug retailers, a 
relatively new sector for the fund.

During the period, pharmaceutical stocks made a powerful contribution to 
performance as the whole industry buzzed with merger, acquisition, and 
takeover discussions. Overall, the fund's overweight positions in health-
care information services, U.S. pharmaceuticals, and drug retailers boosted 
returns, as did underweight positions in HMOs, hospitals, cardiovascular 
technology companies, and international pharmaceutical companies which all 
underperformed.

While large-company stocks for quite some time have attracted the most 
investor attention -- and the strongest performance -- we remain optimistic 
about the health-care industry's smaller companies. Specifically we believe 
that small, growth-oriented stocks like those of medical device 
manufacturers and biotechnology companies are due for a rebound. Indeed, the 
portfolio contains some promising prospects in both these areas. Contract 
research organizations represent another promising health-care sector. These 
companies provide outsourcing services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology 
companies.

As large demographic trends, including an aging population, continue to pump 
up demand for health-care industry products and services, we remain 
optimistic about prospects for the remainder of fiscal 1998.

PCM High Yield Fund 
Sub-Account

The global flight to quality in the aftermath of events in Asia temporarily 
stalled the U.S. high-yield bond market in late 1997 as investors flocked to 
the relative safety of U.S. Treasury issues. But by the time PCM High Yield 
Fund subaccount closed the first half of its fiscal year on June 30, 1998, 
the lower-rated high-yield bonds in which the underlying fund invests had 
recovered much of their former strength. For the six months ended June 30, 
1998, the subaccount tallied a total return of 3.56% at unit value.

Initially concerned that corporate issuers in the United States would be 
adversely affected by Asia's woes, investors were reassured as corporate 
America continued to flourish, not yet affected by events in Asia. Economic 
growth remained robust through the first quarter of 1998, with the overall 
economy growing at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 5.4%. In fact, 
the Asian effect soon became a positive force for fixed-income investors who 
were counting on the negative trade effects of the Asian slump to offset any 
price increases in the United States. At a minimum, Asia's economic problem 
appears to have put the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy on hold, 
enabling investors to feel more comfortable owning lower-rated bonds.

In addition to a positive economic backdrop in the United States, strong 
market fundamentals also helped propel high-yield bond prices in recent 
months. At the same time, these bonds continued to make good on their 
promise of above-average income. While investment decisions are still made 
on a company-by-company basis, we did take advantage of a flood of 
attractive new issues in telecommunications to increase significantly the 
fund's exposure to this sector. In fact, new high-yield issuance during the 
period was so strong that many companies competed for investor attention by 
offering double-digit yields. Including some of these new issues in the 
portfolio helped generate a substantial level of income.

While new issues helped increase the fund's yield, merger and acquisition 
activity helped boost the fund's net asset value. Several fund holdings 
increased in value as a result of mergers or acquisitions by the issuing 
companies.

The outlook for high-yield bonds remains favorable, although with the 
prospect of an economic slowdown, high-yield issues may not outperform 
investment-grade bonds as dramatically as they have.

PCM International Growth Fund 
Sub-Account

As European markets advanced and Asian markets continued to experience 
further repercussions of last fall's currency and debt crisis, international 
equity markets delivered mixed performance. By avoiding those areas 
adversely affected by the Asian situation and focusing instead on countries, 
sectors, and companies with growth and pricing power, PCM International 
Growth Fund subaccount was able to post a solid total return of 18.95% at 
unit value for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

The underlying fund's overweight position in European equities paid off 
handsomely during the period as many of these markets advanced. Investors 
have been pleased with a renewed emphasis on shareholder value among a 
growing number of European companies, along with low interest rates, low 
inflation, and the imminent onset of a single currency through the creation 
of Europe's Economic and Monetary Union. Stocks of companies from France, 
Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland enjoyed particularly strong gains 
over the period; the fund held large positions in all these markets. The 
United Kingdom, where the fund has its largest allocation, benefited from 
similar trends. The fund's Canadian equities also turned in positive results 
as the fund's exposure there was entirely outside natural resources.

In terms of sectors, the portfolio favored telecommunications and banks, 
while underweighting commodities, oil, and semiconductors. Large-
capitalization holdings led performance, followed by midsize and small-cap 
growth stocks. Indeed, large-capitalization growth equities have been the 
single best-performing asset class in each of the past three years. The fund 
also took advantage of currency hedging that generally favored the dollar.

The attractiveness of Europe contrasts sharply with troubles in Japan, 
although the fund's largest Japanese holding, a domestic financial firm with 
large backing from a well-known U.S. bank, performed unusually well. For the 
most part, however, Japan's stock market was plagued by the weak economy and 
weak yen, which caused renewed turbulence in Asian markets toward the end of 
the period. Elsewhere in Asia, the fund reduced its position in Hong Kong 
equities and remained underweight in Singapore.

While European equities growth may moderate going forward, we expect these 
markets to show greater strength and value than the U.S. market. Asian 
markets remain volatile, and the fund will take a cautious approach to any 
investment in this area.

paid off during the recent period. Not only did the quest lead us to some of 
the most promising investments in the world, but it steered us away from 
many that would have been among the hardest hit in the wake of the Asian 
currency and debt crisis. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the 
subaccount posted a total return of 14.68% at unit value.

As many of the world's equity markets labored under turbulent conditions 
springing from Asian-inspired difficulties, the underlying fund was 
positioned to benefit doubly from its strategy of investing mainly in the 
stocks of large, established companies. These stocks, already in favor 
because of their resilience in uncertain markets, were accorded even greater 
regard as cautious investors continued their search for stability. 

The fund's performance largely reflects the success of its overweight 
positions in the advancing markets of Europe and the United Kingdom. 
Continental European markets have benefited from a renewed emphasis on 
shareholder value among a growing number of companies, along with low 
interest rates, low inflation, and the imminent onset of a single currency 
through the creation of Europe's Economic and Monetary Union. The United 
Kingdom stock market has enjoyed similar trends. As these markets rallied, 
the fund's overweight positions in the larger, more stable companies of the 
region were favored. Currency hedges that favored the dollar (versus the yen 
and pound) enhanced results. 

For the most part, the problems in Asia had a minimal effect on the 
portfolio over the period. With the exception of outstanding performance 
from one Japanese holding, however, even the fund's small allocation to 
Japanese stocks was a drag on returns in recent months. Investor confidence 
in Japan remains shaken, and the overall market will have difficulty moving 
forward without yen stability and economic recovery. Indeed, the weakness of 
the yen versus the dollar caused renewed turbulence in Asian markets during 
late May and June. We took advantage of the volatility to add selective 
Japanese holdings and are beginning to find some value in other Southeast 
Asian markets, notably Hong Kong. 

We continue to believe that the stocks that are poised to do best in the 
evolving investment environment are those in which the portfolio 
concentrates: established, undervalued dividend-paying companies undergoing 
positive fundamental change.

PCM International New Opportunities Fund 
Sub-Account

The past several months represented a period of recovery in the emerging 
markets and solid growth in the established markets with the exception of 
Japan. As international stock markets rebounded from the depths following 
the Asian crisis, PCM International New Opportunities Fund subaccount 
successfully executed its strategy of seeking high-growth international 
companies with strong revenue and earnings growth rates as well as a 
proprietary or superior position in their industries. For the six months 
ended June 30, 1998, the subaccount posted performance of 15.48% at unit 
value.

The fund's focus on growth means that it continues to be heavily invested in 
select industries that make up the technology sector. While this commitment 
dampened performance during 1997, it paid off in the first half of 1998 as 
several segments of technology bounced back when investors began to 
recognize the inherent strengths of some technology-related firms. 
Additionally, in several cases, weaknesses in 1997 gave us the opportunity 
to add to positions in companies likely to have significant growth 
prospects. For example, we added to the fund's holdings in companies that 
provide services and outsourcing to the information technology industry. 
Fund performance also benefited from gains by telecommunications equipment, 
software, and cellular telephone holdings.

In Europe, the fund has taken full advantage of opportunities created by low 
or falling interest rates and rising economic growth. As the January 1999 
formation of the EMU draws closer, the so-called peripheral countries of 
Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Italy have particularly benefited. Fund 
holdings in Italy and Spain have been among the portfolio's top performers.

The fund remained underweighted in Asia as well as emerging markets in 
general -- two decisions that helped performance. We believe Asia's stock 
markets, currencies, and interest rates will remain volatile over the near 
term. Nevertheless, we are cautiously evaluating several investment 
opportunities. In Latin America, the fund added several Brazilian stocks 
from companies that we believe are likely to sustain stable growth rates, 
despite Brazil's high interest rates and market volatility. Additionally, 
the fund realized gains from the sale of several Mexican stocks.

Although international markets continue to experience varying degrees of 
volatility, globalization has produced unprecedented demand for the products 
and services of growing companies. Going forward, the fund will continue to 
seek companies anywhere in the world that exhibit superior sales rates and 
earnings growth as well as strong competitive positions.

PCM Investors Fund
Sub-Account
While the initial months of operation can be a challenging time for any 
fund, the recent period provided relatively few hurdles for PCM Investors 
Fund subaccount. Economic recession in Asia slowed Wall Street's gallop 
during 1998's second quarter, giving U.S. stocks little leeway to add to 
their impressive first quarter gains. However, the market remained focused 
on the large-capitalization growth stocks in which the underlying fund 
invests, and these stocks retained the leadership position they have held 
for the past three years. For the period April 30, 1998, through June 30, 
1998, the subaccount posted a solid total return of 4.51% at unit value.

Throughout the period, investor attention focused on Asia. Problems in 
developing Asian countries accelerated and economic problems in Japan were 
exacerbated by the rising dollar and falling yen, heightening worries that 
the yen's continued weakness might result in China devaluing its currency. 
Mergers and acquisitions also continued at a rapid rate over the period. In 
fact so far, the dollar volume of mergers during the first two quarters of 
1998 exceeds the total for all of 1997. 

The second quarter's top-performing industries were apparel retailing, 
networking, autos, general merchandisers, home improvement retailers, and 
computer software. The fund was overweighted in all of these industries 
except autos. Fortunately, the fund had no exposure to the worst performing 
industries, which were services, mining, semiconductor equipment, rails, and 
truckers. Within these sectors, performance varied considerably from company 
to company, proving once again that our disciplined strategy and focus on 
individual stock selection remain the keys to solid fund performance.

Given an economic backdrop of low inflation, low interest rates, and 
generally stable earnings growth, the long-term outlook remains positive for 
U.S. equities.

PCM Money Market Fund
Sub-Account

With the U.S economy still marching forward and inflation staying quite low, 
the recent semiannual period brought few changes for money market investors. 
Once again, PCM Money Market Fund subaccount delivered a competitive total 
return by focusing on superior quality, capital preservation, and current 
income. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the subaccount posted a 
total return of 1.87% at unit value.

Isolated Asian-related pressures notwithstanding, most sectors and regions 
of the U.S. economy continued to evidence strong growth during the past six 
months. Indeed, businesses and consumers went on a spending spree during the 
first quarter of 1998, causing the economy to expand much more quickly than 
originally believed. The Commerce Department reported that the nation's 
gross domestic product increased at a seasonally adjusted 5.4% annual rate 
during the period, higher than an earlier estimate of 4.8%. As the period 
drew to a close, however, there were some signs of slowing, an example being 
a slight decline in durable goods orders.

While the economy continued to expand at a rate that in the past would have 
been considered a harbinger of inflationary pressures, current data show 
virtually no signs of higher inflation. Given this benign environment, the 
Fed kept its monetary policy on hold throughout the period.

Money market investments remained attractive throughout the past six months, 
and the market continued to experience record inflows of investor cash. More 
U.S. and foreign investors are finding the liquidity, quality, and yields of 
money market securities attractive.

With Fed monetary policy on hold and the direction of interest rates 
uncertain, we have continued to keep the fund in a flexible position. During 
the recent period, this strategy meant keeping portfolio duration relatively 
neutral -- rather than short or long -- in order to take advantage of 
incrementally higher yields as they became available. In fact, yields on 
most corporate and bank money market securities were more favorable than 
yields on Treasuries throughout the period. With its flexible duration 
structure, the fund was able to pursue various value and income 
opportunities within the market, laddering portfolio holdings across the 
maturity spectrum to preserve liquidity and remain ready for any changes 
that might occur.

For the time being, it appears to us that economic strength and low 
inflation can indeed go hand in hand. However, should the economy overheat, 
the Fed may be forced to raise rates. The fund's neutral duration structure 
and conservative, quality-focused strategy position it well for this 
environment by providing the flexibility to capture any higher yields that 
become available.

PCM New Opportunities Fund
Sub-Account

With events in Asia continuing to dominate investors' attention over the 
past six months, the stock market once again rewarded the large-
capitalization growth stocks that have led performance for some time. This 
said, many of the portfolio's small and midsize holdings still posted strong 
returns. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, PCM New Opportunities Fund 
subaccount posted a total return of 17.69% at unit value.

The decision to add a large-capitalization stock component to the portfolio 
paid off handsomely during the recent period as these stocks retained the 
leadership position they have assumed for the past three years. Many of the 
large-cap additions to the portfolio have been well-known, leading brand 
companies that are growing rapidly. To protect against the fallout from the 
Asian financial crisis, we also attempted to minimize the portfolio's 
exposure to companies that do considerable business in Asia and among 
companies that compete against Asian companies in U.S. markets. In terms of 
sectors, the portfolio remains overweighted in media, technology, business 
services, and consumer products/services. 

During the period, astute stock selection and appropriate sector weightings 
boosted performance considerably. In the technology sector, which represents 
a significant though somewhat reduced weighting, we concentrated on 
communications equipment, telecommunications, and software, three areas that 
have had a resurgence. The portfolio's media holdings have benefited from 
strong earnings and cash flow growth, along with the domestic focus of their 
business. Among consumer holdings, large-cap, small, and midsize retail 
stocks have all been top performers. Business services stocks, which include 
computer service and staffing companies, have benefited from the outsourcing 
trends that have taken hold as companies downsize and streamline their 
operations. In the health-care sector, large-cap pharmaceutical holdings 
have outperformed while smaller biotech stocks and service-oriented stocks 
including hospital and nursing home stocks have been hurt.

Management continues to watch Asia closely for signs of recovery. On the 
domestic front, low interest rates, low inflation, and moderate growth 
provide a favorable backdrop for stock market performance, although slowing 
corporate earnings growth bears monitoring.

PCM New Value Fund 
Sub-Account

As investors around the world continued to sort out the aftershocks of the 
currency and debt crisis in Asia, volatility beset many of the world's 
equity markets. While market volatility is rarely a pleasant experience, it 
typically provides fertile ground for our ongoing search for undervalued and 
out-of-favor stocks. Such was the case in the recent period when research 
uncovered some bargain stocks with excellent long-term potential. For the 
six months ended June 30, 1998, PCM New Value Fund subaccount posted a total 
return of 3.08% at unit value.

While over the long term stocks have outperformed every other type of 
security, over shorter periods their risks may seem to outweigh their 
potential rewards. That was the case for the underlying fund during the 
first half of fiscal 1998. Several of the undervalued stocks we have focused 
on have yet to perform as expected. The weakness of value stocks relative to 
growth-oriented stocks also adversely affected the subaccount's returns. 

Indeed, the resilience of the U.S. stock market has created a particular 
challenge for a moderately contrarian investment approach such as this 
fund's, which seeks opportunities off the beaten path rather than following 
market trends. In recent months, investors have been too nervous to buy 
underfollowed or misunderstood stocks and instead have focused only on 
proven winners. Thus it may take longer for the fund's choices to achieve 
their targeted growth levels.

The fund did benefit to some extent from the period's flight to quality, 
however, since one portion of its portfolio is devoted to stocks with high 
dividend yields (known as anchor stocks in our strategy). One strong 
performer in this area was a real estate investment trust recently acquired 
by a competitor. Another portion of the portfolio focuses on companies whose 
near-term earnings prospects are somewhat uncertain. While jittery investors 
have lately refused to forgive stumbles from stocks like these, this climate 
has created new opportunities for the fund. 

The Asian financial crisis also generated buying opportunities by knocking 
some high-quality companies down to price levels sought by this fund. Known 
as ladder stocks in our parlance, these are issues of prominent companies 
that investors have temporarily spurned. In recent months, we have taken 
advantage of two such opportunities in the computer chip and heavy 
industrial manufacturing sectors.

Looking ahead, we will monitor the market closely for the new value 
opportunities that continue to be created by current volatility.

PCM OTC & Emerging Growth Fund
Sub-Account

During the past several months, as small and emerging-growth companies faced 
a difficult environment, PCM OTC & Emerging Growth Fund subaccount sought 
opportunities amid the challenges. The Asian currency and debt crisis 
continued to take its toll on markets around the world, dampening 
performance of many of the underlying fund's holdings. Troubled markets, 
however, often bring compelling opportunities, and for this reason we have 
been able to take advantage of attractive stock prices in many industry 
sectors. For the period April 30, 1998, through June 30, 1998, the 
subaccount turned in a total return of 1.86% at unit value. 

The initial months of operation can be a challenging time for any fund, and 
as these returns demonstrate, PCM OTC & Emerging Growth Fund faced more than 
a few hurdles during its brief debut reporting period. Generally ignoring 
the small to midsize emerging growth stocks that are the fund's focus, stock 
investors continued to favor the narrow range of large-capitalization 
companies with high growth rates that have dominated performance for the 
past three years. Nonetheless, we remain confident that the fund's 
aggressive investment style will prove rewarding over the long term for 
investors seeking above-average growth through investments in small to 
medium-sized emerging growth companies.

The recent period did have its bright spots, however, such as the strength 
of the fund's technology and retail holdings. After experiencing a severe 
setback following the market turbulence surrounding Asian economic 
downturns, the technology sector roared back during the second quarter of 
1998. Technology remains one of the portfolio's largest sectors. 

Retail holdings also contributed strongly to performance during the period. 
This sector benefited from the positive domestic economy and robust consumer 
spending. The fund's top-performing retail holdings centered around 
companies that are on the leading edge of trends, profiting from their 
ability to meet distinct consumer needs and preferences. Examples include 
home-product retailers that appeal to a more affluent customer base, and 
companies that are reaping the rewards of the fitness and back-to-nature 
interests of consumers.

While the subaccount's short-term performance may be somewhat disappointing, 
today's difficult market has provided some attractive investment 
opportunities. We anticipate additional volatility ahead as markets continue 
to sort through the Asian financial crisis. However, we are minimizing the 
fund's exposure to Asian markets and look forward to improved conditions for 
the types of stocks in which the fund invests along with benefits from the 
attractively priced stocks that we have recently added to the portfolio.

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

Although the rush of international investors to the relative safety of the 
U.S. bond market did drive down yields on most bonds during the period, a 
flexible strategy and timely portfolio shifts once again propelled PCM U.S. 
Government and High Quality Bond Fund subaccount to solid performance. For 
the six months ended June 30, 1998, the subaccount provided a total return 
of 3.51% at unit value.

With the effects of the Asian downturn on U.S. markets anything but certain, 
investors remained watchful of the economy and the Federal Reserve Board. In 
this atmosphere of nervousness, we maintained a slightly defensive portfolio 
duration throughout the period. Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity 
to changing interest rates and can be altered by changing the fund's mix of 
bonds. Bonds with shorter maturities generally are less sensitive to changes 
in interest rates, so holding cash or short-term securities as we did during 
the period will tend to reduce a portfolio's average duration.

A flight to quality from Asian markets, combined with a noninflationary U.S. 
economic growth picture, fueled a dramatic rise in U.S. Treasury prices 
during the early part of the semiannual period. In the U.S. government 
portion of the portfolio, fund performance benefited from its 12% stake in 
the U.S. Treasury segment of the market as the prices of intermediate and 
long-maturity Treasuries appreciated significantly.

As the period progressed, mortgage-backed securities went on to outperform 
Treasuries slightly. Fortunately, the fund was prepared for this shift. At 
the end of March, we increased the fund's mortgage holdings to approximately 
86% of portfolio assets. While U.S. Treasury prices may continue to rise in 
the short term, we believe the potential for a correction is now greater 
than prospects for additional gains. Mortgage-backed securities such as 
GNMAs offer distinct advantages in this environment since they are generally 
less sensitive than Treasuries to interest-rate changes while offering 
higher yields in order to compensate investors for the risk of prepayment.

The investment-grade bond portion of the portfolio also benefited from high 
international investor demand, moderate growth, and low inflation, although 
the corporate bond market did have some difficulty digesting a surge of new 
issues.

With mixed economic signals the rule rather than the exception these days, 
we plan to maintain the fund's slightly defensive posture and sizable 
position in mortgage-backed securities to take advantage of their relatively 
higher yields and lower sensitivity to interest rates.

PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund
Sub-Account

Although the market environment was not particularly favorable for utilities 
stocks during the past several months, anticipated changes in the utilities 
industry as a whole leave us optimistic about the PCM Utilities Growth and 
Income Fund subaccount's performance potential over the second half of the 
year. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the subaccount posted a total 
return of 3.21% at unit value.

While U.S. economic growth has maintained its energetic pace during the 
period, interest rates have leveled off and remain comparatively low. 
Utilities stocks are interest-rate sensitive and tend to track bond 
performance rather than the performance of the broader equities market; 
thus, as the rest of the market reached for record highs, the underlying 
fund's utilities holdings fell behind. In addition, an unusually warm winter 
season globally has had an adverse effect on electric and gas companies' 
earnings.

Looking ahead, we see the most important fundamental change in the utilities 
industry to be the coming convergence of a public energy industry, made up 
of electric power and natural gas. As we positioned the portfolio to benefit 
from the trend, several small changes occurred in the fund's asset 
allocation. Holdings in the gas industry, for example, have risen from about 
22% to 25% of the portfolio. This move reflects our view that over time, 
smaller gas companies will be absorbed by larger ones, and those in turn 
possibly being acquired by large electric companies. 

The electric industry constitutes the largest portion of the portfolio. With 
interest rates stable and economic growth fairly stable, the fund's bond 
allocation has declined slightly and is now about 13% of assets. The fund 
also maintains a position in nonutility stocks, currently 7% of assets, and 
these stocks enhanced performance over the period. In addition, the fund 
continues to hold some foreign utilities. These show continuing signs of 
rewarding growth combined with relative stability, particularly in Europe. 
In the telephone industry, high demand for basic telephone services, and an 
explosion of data services through phone lines have helped telephone stocks 
do well over the period.

As long as the interest rate environment remains benign, growth should 
continue and we remain fairly optimistic about the utilities sector's 
ability to catch up with the market's strong performance as it has done in 
the past.

PCM Vista Fund
Sub-Account

Although the economic recession in Asia slowed Wall Street's gallop in 
recent months, PCM Vista Fund subaccount continued to benefit from astute 
stock selection and positive sector allocations, leading the subaccount to 
post a strong total return of 16.07% at unit value for the six months ended 
June 30, 1998.

During the first quarter of 1998, the U.S. economy continued to enjoy the 
best of both worlds -- moderate economic growth and benign inflation. In the 
second quarter, however, some Asian-inspired weakness began to emerge. With 
Asian countries unable to buy imported goods, there was a sudden oversupply 
of oil, construction equipment, and computer memory chips in world markets. 
Stocks in these industries experienced a drop in earnings. U.S. 
manufacturers also experienced slowing domestic sales as the first quarter's 
inventory build-up worked its way through to final consumers. The retail and 
leisure sectors performed well, however, as U.S. consumers continued to 
spend heavily on consumer goods and services. 

The fund benefited from solid performance by its holdings in software and
technology services as well as faster-growing financial services stocks.
Within the technology sector, software and technology services holdings 
outperformed. As prices for energy and basic materials continued to decline, 
the fund's limited exposure to these industries proved beneficial. Recent 
portfolio additions in the Internet service area also showed strong 
short-term performance. Strong performance was partially offset by stock 
selection within health care and allocation to utilities.

Even though U.S. stocks made no broad advance in the final months of the 
period, we believe the long-term outlook is positive. Stock valuations have 
improved, inflation remains low, and although the Asian crisis has produced 
some bumps, the U.S. economy appears to be in solid shape. With its focus on 
the larger, high quality and more liquid midsize growth stocks, we believe 
the fund is well positioned for what lies ahead.

PCM Voyager Fund
Sub-Account

As the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis began to slow the stock 
market's advance during the second quarter of 1998, sector and securities 
shifts once again enabled PCM Voyager Fund subaccount to deliver solid 
performance. Indeed, the fund's all-weather growth portfolio of large, 
small, and midsize stocks continued to demonstrate its wisdom amid the 
volatility of recent months. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the 
subaccount delivered a total return of 16.26% at unit value.

During the first quarter of 1998, the U.S. economy continued to enjoy the 
best of both worlds -- moderate economic growth and benign inflation. In the 
second quarter, however, some Asian-inspired weakness began to emerge. With 
Asian countries unable to buy imported goods, there was a sudden oversupply 
of oil, construction equipment, and computer memory chips in world markets. 
Companies in these industries experienced or were threatened by a drop in 
earnings. U.S. manufacturers also experienced slowing domestic sales, as the 
first quarter's inventory build-up worked its way through to final 
consumers. The retail and leisure sectors performed well, however, as U.S. 
consumers continued to spend on consumer goods and services. 

Overall, the market continued to favor the narrow range of large companies 
with high growth rates that have dominated performance for the past three 
years. During the period, we attempted to mitigate some of the volatility 
affecting one of the underlying fund's primary stock sectors, technology. We 
trimmed the fund's holdings in semiconductor companies and focused more on 
telecommunications and Internet-related stocks, which went on to outperform 
as the technology sector rebounded. Additionally, the fund took advantage of 
a strong period for mergers and acquisitions in the cable, broadcasting, and 
entertainment sector. Indeed, the portfolio had large allocations to this 
sector, which generated superior returns over the period. Consumer-oriented 
stocks also made solid contributions to fund performance, especially 
specialty retailers and financial companies, benefiting from the strong 
domestic economy and robust consumer spending. As always, we sought 
companies with strong earnings growth prospects that were well positioned in 
attractive growth industries. 

In the months ahead, Asian-inspired volatility may continue to best the 
stock market. However, with its diversified portfolio of large, small, and

unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as 
amended. Both the Company and the Account are subject to supervision and

the SEC. The Account invest 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

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:

annuity contracts, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and, 
with respect to the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of 1.25% of the

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

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1998
(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, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

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, 1998
(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, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

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, 1998
(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. 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, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES: 

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.

 HARTFORD LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1998 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION:

Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Two (the Account) is a 
separate investment account within 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. 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, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

A) Mortality and Expense Undertakings - The Company, as issuer of variable 
annuity contracts, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and, 
with respect to the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of 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 --
HARTFORD LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1998 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION:

Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Five (the Account) is a 
separate investment account within 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. 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, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

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 --
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE 

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1998 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION:

Separate Account Variable Life One (the Account) is a separate investment 
account within 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, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

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 & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1998

1. ORGANIZATION:

Separate Account Variable Life Two (the Account) is a separate investment 
account within 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, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

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.

Expenses of the fund are borne pro-rata by the holders of each class of 
shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class 
(including the distribution fees applicable to such class). Each class 
votes as a class only with respect to its own distribution plan or other 
matters on which a class vote is required by law or determined by the 
Trustees. Shares of each class would receive their pro-rata share of the 
net assets of the fund, if the fund were liquidated. In addition, the 
Trustees declare separate dividends on each class of shares. 

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 certain debt obligations 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 F and G with respect to the valuation 
of forward currency contracts, futures and options). 

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 fund's 
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 
its custodian, receives 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. Collateral for 
certain tri-party repurchase agreement is held at the counterparty's 
custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the fund and the 
counterparty. 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 bonds, 
stepped-coupon bonds, and payment in kind bonds are accreted according to 
the yield-to-maturity basis. Any premium resulting from the purchase of 
stepped-coupon bonds is amortized on a yield-to-maturity basis.

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) Foreign currency translation The accounting records of the Trust are 
maintained in U.S. dollars. The market value of foreign securities, 
currency holdings, and 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 gains and losses 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 appreciation and depreciation of 
assets and liabilities in foreign currencies 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.

F) 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 current 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.

G) 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 in which it may invest 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. 
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. Realized gains and losses 
on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on 
investment securities.

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.

H) Swap contracts Putnam VT Global Growth fund may engage in emerging 
market swap contracts, which involve a commitment by one party to make 
payments based on the terms of the contract in exchange for a market linked 
return based on a notional amount. The fund enters into the swap contracts 
to increase its exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain 
access to markets that might be unavailable to foreign investors or only 
accessible at a high excess premium. 

The potential risk to the fund would be the nonperformance by the 
counterparty involved in the swap contract. The loss incurred by the 
failure of the counterparty is limited to the amount of the original 
investment. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the 
underlying securities.

I) 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 the fund's other assets. Unsettled 
TBA purchase commitments are valued at the current market value of the 
underlying securities, 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 their 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. 

J) TBA sale commitments Each fund, (except for 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 the 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. 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.

K) Line of credit All funds, (except Putnam VT The George Putnam Fund of 
Boston, Putnam VT Health Sciences Fund, Putnam VT Investors Fund, Putnam VT 
Money Market Fund, Putnam VT OTC & Emerging Growth Fund and Putnam VT U.S. 
Governement and High Quality Bond Fund), have entered into a committed line 
of credit with certain banks. This line of credit agreement includes 
restrictions that the fund maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 
300% and borrowings must not exceed prospectus limitations. For the six 
months ended June, 30, 1998, the funds had no borrowings against the line 
of credit. 

L) 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, 1997 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
                               1,664,000       December 31, 2004
                               8,946,000       December 31, 2005
Putnam VT International 
  New Opportunities 
  Fund                         1,359,000       December 31, 2005
Putnam VT Vista Fund             817,000       December 31, 2005
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

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

M) Distributions to shareholders Distributions to shareholders from net 
investment income are recorded by the fund 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.

N) 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.

O) Beneficial Interest At June 30, 1998, insurance companies or their 
separate accounts were record owners of all but a de minimis number of the 
shares of each fund. From 79% to almost 100% of each fund is owned by 
accounts of one group of insurance companies.

</TABLE>


Putnam Management has voluntarily agreed to limit expenses of Putnam VT The 
George Putnam Fund of Boston, Putnam VT Health Sciences Fund, Putnam VT 
International Growth Fund, Putnam VT International Growth and Income Fund, 
Putnam VT International New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT Investors Fund, 
Putnam VT New Value Fund, Putnam VT OTC & Emerging Growth Fund and Putnam 
VT Vista Fund to an annual rate of 0.85%, 0.90%, 1.20%, 1.20%, 1.60%, 
0.85%, 1.10%, 0.90% 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, extraordinary expenses, payments 
under the funds' distribution plan with respect to class IB shares and 
credits from Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company ("PFTC"), a subsidiary of 
Putnam Investments, Inc., if any. These limitations will expire on December 
31, 1998.

As part of the subcustodian contract between the subcustodian bank and 
PFTC, the subcustodian bank has a lien on the securities of the fund to the 
extent permitted by the fund's investment restrictions to cover any 
advances made by the subcustodian bank for the settlement of securities 
purchased by the fund. At June 30, 1998, the payable to the subcustodian 
bank represents the amount due for cash advance for the settlement of 
securities purchased.

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

Custodial functions for the 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, 1998, each fund's expenses were reduced 
by the following amounts under expense offset arrangements with PFTC and 
brokerage service arrangements.

of these assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangements 
in an income producing asset if it had not entered into such arrangements.

Each Trustee of the fund receives an annual Trustee fee, of which $21,770 
has been allocated to the Trust, 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 "Deferral 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 
the fund and are invested in certain Putnam funds until distribution in 
accordance with the Deferral 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.

Each fund has adopted a distribution plan (the "Plan") with respect to its 
class IB shares, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 
1940. The purpose of the Plan is to compensate Putnam Mutual Funds Corp., a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, Inc., for services provided 
and expenses incurred by it in distributing shares of the fund. The Plan 
provides for payment by the fund to Putnam Mutual Funds Corp. at an annual 
rate of up to 0.35% of the fund's average net assets. The Trustees 
currently limit payment by the fund to an annual rate of 0.15% of the 
average net assets.
