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

The year just ended was one of unusual contrasts. As resurgent financial and 
political instability swept through many of the world's developing nations, 
global capital markets experienced an unusual level of volatility. As is 
often the case, this volatility brought opportunity, which Putnam portfolio 
managers and analysts sought to exploit in an effort to maximize the 
performance of each portfolio. Among both the world's equity and fixed-
income markets, the U.S. markets once again commanded the lead during 1998. 

EQUITIES

* United States Low inflation, moderate economic growth, three Federal 
Reserve Board rate cuts, an apparent absence of repercussions from the 
presidential crisis and Middle East military action, and nascent signs of an 
Asian economic comeback propelled U.S. equities to another stellar year. 
Although plagued by substantial volatility, particularly over the summer, 
the stock market finished with a rally. Large-cap stocks continued to lead, 
with growth outpacing value. Technology and retail stocks were the big 
winners, with energy and basic materials lagging behind.

* Europe The core markets of Western Europe gained nearly 50% during the 
first six months of the year only to see those gains entirely whittled away 
by the first weeks of October. While the markets rebounded somewhat during 
the fourth quarter, European equities have not fully recovered and thus 
continue to offer attractive valuations. Although the transition to Europe's 
new Economic and Monetary Union may bring along some volatility, we believe 
European stock markets are poised for solid performance in the coming year.

* Pacific Rim After hobbling along toward recovery in the early months of 
1998, Asian stock markets plunged once again over the summer as financial 
instability spread to Russia and Latin America. Also at that time, investors 
renewed their focus on the inability of the Japanese government to resolve 
that nation's economic recession and banking crisis. Asian markets, 
including Japan's, began to rebound in the fourth quarter of 1998. By then 
Japan had begun the process of recovery and central banks in a number of 
countries including the United States put forth accommodative interest-rate 
cuts in response to signs of economic slowdown.

FIXED INCOME

* United States After weathering quite a bit of volatility, the U.S. fixed-
income market finished the year on solid footing. The most action came 
during the third quarter, when international investors fairly galloped 
toward the perceived safety of U.S. Treasury bonds in the wake of renewed 
instability in Asia, Russia, and other emerging markets. The global flight 
to safety drove Treasury yields to their lowest levels in modern history, 
while prices on mortgage-backed, corporate, high-yield, and other fixed-
income investments dropped precipitously. By year's end, the U.S. bond 
market was fairly valued and, with world economies slowing, we believe U.S. 
bonds remain an attractive investment for 1999.

* Global Most of the world's bond markets enjoyed relatively favorable 
conditions of low inflation and low interest rates over the period. Many 
governments exhibited signs of fiscal responsibility, and when global 
economic growth threatened to slow unacceptably, central banks attempted to 
stimulate growth through interest-rate cuts. The effect was positive and 
bond markets in the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan, 
Australia, and North America posted positive returns for the year. In the 
final quarter of 1998, European markets were the star performers, with 
peripheral markets doing especially well. Japan's market declined sharply, 
and the U.S. market was stagnant as investors sold positions taken during 
the prior quarter's flight to quality.

* High Yield Despite a favorable backdrop of ongoing U.S. economic strength 
and low inflation, the high-yield market took a significant hit during the 
summer. Signs of recession overseas, an unexpectedly weak U.S. employment 
report, lower-than-expected corporate earnings forecasts, Russia's financial 
collapse, and broad-based selling of high-yield debt by distressed hedge 
funds to meet margin calls created a sky-is-falling atmosphere. In response, 
investors stampeded out of just about any fixed-income security that 
involved credit risk. During the fourth quarter, however, the high-yield 
bond market began to recover as investors began to increase their appetite 
for risk. Top-performing industries included forest products/containers, 
telecommunications and media, and food/tobacco.

       Past performance is not indicative of future results. This performance summary and the unit value and performance 
       data included in the following subaccount discussions apply only to Putnam Capital Manager variable annuity 
       contracts. Performance data for variable life insurance policies are not included. 

       All total return figures at CDSC are for subaccounts of the Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account and 
       are based on the change in unit value, which reflects expenses, such as account charges and fees applied at the 
       contract level; figures at CDSC reflect deductions for the applicable contingent deferred sales charge. The CDSC
       starts at 6% and declines over 8 years. The underlying mutual funds were active before the effective dates for 
       other separate accounts. Performance data represent past results, with no adjustments made for taxes on 
       reinvested distributions payable upon withdrawal. Future unit values and investment returns may vary so an 
       investor's units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for other 
       separate accounts will differ.

Putnam Asia Pacific Growth 
Sub-Account

Many countries in the Pacific Rim continued to experience financial and 
political instability over the past year. Nevertheless, there were a few 
bright spots, notably Japan, where the government finally implemented some 
economic reforms that appear to be taking hold. Korea and Thailand also 
showed signs of economic bottoming over the period, even evidencing slight 
improvement as the year drew to a close. Since the financial crisis first 
hit Asia in mid 1997, we have been repositioning assets to maximize fund 
performance. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1998, Putnam Asia 
Pacific Growth Sub-Account provided a total return of -6.80% at unit 
value.

The fund realized gains from stocks in several markets over the period, 
including Australia, Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan. In fact, the Korean 
stock market had a startling rebound during 1998 as the Korean chaebols 
(conglomerates) began important restructuring programs that entailed 
selling unrelated and unprofitable businesses. Korean semiconductor 
holdings provided particularly strong returns. These companies benefited 
from the same good conditions that supported European computer and 
telecommunications producers. The fund also enjoyed substantial gains from 
its Korean utility holdings. In Australia, bank holdings provided top 
returns.

In Japan, we have been targeting companies that have undertaken reforms to 
become more shareholder oriented; at period's end, Japanese holdings 
accounted for approximately one-half of the portfolio. Within the Japanese 
market, the fund has major positions in semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, 
and consumer products. In the pharmaceutical sector, we have focused on 
attractively priced stocks with similar growth prospects to their higher-
priced U.S. and European counterparts.

Over the next several months, we will remain watchful of financial and 
political developments throughout the region. Although many countries 
continue to experience instability, some appear to be on the path to 
recovery. As always, we will diversify the portfolio while continuing to 
seek those stocks that offer the highest prospects for superior growth.

Foreign investments may be subject to certain risks, such as currency 
fluctuations, economic instability, and political developments. Investing 
in a single sector increases the possibility of greater price fluctuations 
and does not provide the diversification of a multisector investment.



Putnam Diversified Income 
Sub-Account 

As financial and political instability in many of the world's developing 
nations continued over the 12 months ended December 31, 1998, each of 
Putnam Diversified Income Sub-Account's three investment sectors -- U.S. 
government and investment grade, foreign, and high yield -- felt the 
effects in some manner. Although the markets revived a bit during the last 
months of the period, the fund closed the annual period with disappointing 
results, with the subaccount posting a total return of -2.74% at unit 
value for the 12 months ended December 31, 1998. 

For prudent investors, volatility can yield opportunity, and the recent 
period was no exception. In order to maximize the portfolio's potential to 
outperform the broad fixed-income market over the long term, we continued 
to emphasize the so-called spread sectors -- those areas of the fixed-
income market offering the most attractive yields, such as high-yield 
bonds, high-grade corporate issues, mortgage-backed securities, and some 
emerging-markets debt. This strategy benefited the fund for the most part, 
although a dramatic about-face occurred toward the end of the period. The 
fund's U.S. Treasury and mortgage-backed securities became the portfolio's 
dominant performers as a result of the global flight to quality, while the 
high-yield and investment-grade corporate positions experienced a severe 
setback. Fortunately, our focus on the core bond markets of Europe helped 
provide some much-needed ballast in the wake of capsizing emerging-markets 
debt.

In the high-yield market, global investors' sky-is-falling attitude during 
the summer effectively eradicated seven years of price gains. 
Nevertheless, we are holding firm in the fund's high-yield positioning. 
The same forces that pushed Treasury bonds, stocks, and high-yield bonds 
higher for most of the period remain in place, and continue to provide 
ideal conditions for high-yield investing. Bonds of telecommunications, 
broadcasting, cable, and financial services companies remain our primary 
high-yield focus.

Among international markets, the fund's European bond positions posted 
solid returns. The fund's exposure to emerging-markets, although limited, 
hindered returns somewhat. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the 
fund's positioning and its ability to play to the strongest bond sectors 
and de-emphasize those that may be underperforming.

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. 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. 



Putnam The George Putnam 
Fund of Boston Sub-Account

With stock and bond markets experiencing a great deal of volatility over 
the past several months, a conservative strategy and diversified portfolio 
once again served Putnam The George Putnam Fund of Boston Sub-Account 
well. The fund maintained a classic balanced portfolio combining 
undervalued, dividend-paying stocks of companies undergoing positive 
change with bonds from the Treasury, mortgage-backed, corporate, and high-
yield debt markets. For the period from April 30, 1998, through December 
31, 1998, the subaccount provided a total return of 2.42% at unit value.

As investors grappled with recurrent financial difficulties in Asia, 
Russia, and Latin America, the resulting market turmoil of July and August 
impacted both stock and bond holdings in the portfolio. The fund's 
Treasury holdings provided a shining exception, however, rallying strongly 
when international investors shunned risk and flocked to the perceived 
safety of these top-quality investments. To minimize the negative impact 
on the fund's bond holdings, we reduced corporate and high-yield 
positions, which were particularly affected by investors' aversion to 
risk. During the market turmoil, the fund's utilities and consumer staples 
holdings were top performers. These companies concentrate their operations 
in the United States, making them less vulnerable to negative events 
abroad.

The fund also benefited from an overall improvement in the performance of 
large-capitalization value stocks relative to large-capitalization growth 
stocks. While large-cap growth stocks still outpaced their value 
counterparts, value stocks closed the gap considerably to turn in solid 
performance. Beginning in September, both stock and bond markets began to 
recover following three Federal Reserve Board interest-rate cuts. In the 
fourth quarter, the fund's stock and bond holdings rallied, with 
pharmaceutical stocks among the best performers.

While capital markets may experience additional volatility in the months 
ahead, we believe the fund's conservative strategy and balanced portfolio 
position it well for a variety of market conditions.

Putnam Global Asset Allocation 
Sub-Account

As world financial markets continued to wrestle with the resurgent 
financial turmoil in many developing countries, Putnam Global Asset 
Allocation Sub-Account demonstrated anew the value of a multifaceted 
portfolio. Each of the three portfolios -- growth, balanced, and 
conservative -- performed exactly as it was supposed to, providing 
investors with a means to undertake well-diversified, all-weather 
investment programs. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1998, the 
subaccount provided a total return of 11.95% at unit value.

For much of the year, U.S. equities performed extremely well, although in 
late summer the market took a decided dip as investors grew skittish about 
continued financial and economic turmoil among developing nations. Stocks 
recovered as fall wore on, closing out their fourth consecutive year of 
sparkling returns. Large-capitalization stocks continued to outpace small- 
and mid-cap stocks, and companies whose operations were primarily domestic 
fared better than manufacturers and exporters with links to Asia.

Within the U.S. bond market, the global flight to quality drove yields on 
Treasuries to their lowest levels in modern history. Corporate bonds, 
mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities underperformed 
Treasuries by a wide margin, creating an opportunity for us to take 
advantage of these attractively priced sectors to position the portfolio 
for the future. By year's end, these securities had begun to recover. 

International markets bore the brunt of the global correction, with stock 
markets in the Pacific Rim faring particularly poorly. The portfolio had 
minimal exposure in the region, although South Korea, Hong Kong, and 
Singapore did provide some opportunities. European equities also provided 
solid returns. In contrast, foreign government bond markets benefited from 
global turmoil and the resulting flight to quality, as well as benign 
inflation and relatively low interest rates. The portfolio benefited most 
from its European fixed-income investments, as European markets registered 
gains only slightly behind those provided by U.S. bonds. Emerging-markets 
debt was hit hard by global financial woes, and our underweighting there 
proved beneficial.

The volatility of the recent period has also brought opportunity and we 
feel confident that the fund's diverse asset structure and all-weather 
investment strategies position it well for what lies ahead.

Putnam Global Growth 
Sub-Account 

In the wake of worldwide disruptions in securities markets during late 
summer and early fall, the managers of Putnam Global Growth Sub-Account 
made some significant shifts among the portfolio's sector and industry 
allocations. Most equity portfolios have had to make adjustments; in the 
fund's case, we increased the weighting in U.S. stocks, shifting assets 
out of the emerging markets and much of Asia. As a result of these moves, 
the fund tallied solid gains for the period, with the subaccount posting a 
total return of 27.91% at unit value for the 12 months ended December 31, 
1998.

Although most securities markets rebounded in late fall, it appears likely 
to us that economic and corporate earnings growth rates may soon slow. At 
this point, we believe the United States offers the largest selection of 
high-quality growth companies as well as a more stable situation in which 
the government has the fiscal and monetary tools needed to mitigate any 
extended slowdown. In building up the fund's U.S. stock weighting, we 
reduced its European holdings, substantially eliminated the fund's 
emerging-markets position and, with the exception of Japan, eliminated 
holdings in developed Asian economies. However, the fund retains an 
overweight European position, and these markets performed steadily over 
the period.

Among sectors, technology, telecommunications, and food retailers remain 
top areas of focus. We continued to de-emphasize cyclical and commodity-
related companies. During the period, the fund benefited from its holdings 
in top-performing U.S. technology and European information technology 
service companies as well as European cellular equipment companies.

Although the coming months may bring slower economic and corporate 
earnings growth, the fund's research-driven stock selection process should 
continue to produce solid long-term investment opportunities.

Putnam Growth and Income 
Sub-Account

An eventful fiscal year ended in upbeat fashion for Putnam Growth and 
Income Sub-Account as strong results in the final weeks of the period 
helped the fund achieve a total return comfortably in line with its long-
term results. This performance is particularly gratifying, as it comes 
during a period when many other equity portfolios were showing negative 
returns. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1998, the subaccount posted 
a total return of 13.81% at unit value.

Perhaps more important than the comparison with other equity funds is the 
fact that the management team achieved these results while holding firmly 
to the fund's investment style at a time when other types of stocks were 
in greater favor and might have yielded more attractive short-term 
results. Experience has shown that the undervalued dividend-paying stocks 
we seek out for the fund's portfolio can perform competitively over the 
long term while exposing the fund to less risk than the overall market.

During the period, our value-oriented strategy led us to add to several 
existing portfolio positions. In the first quarter of 1998, for example, 
we added to holdings in oil and technology-hardware companies; these 
sectors were among the most stable in the late-summer slump. Before the 
decline, we also trimmed industrial and retail company holdings while 
adding to utilities positions. Finally, we bought more of several 
financial stocks when their prices were discounted by half in August and 
September. Many have since rallied.

Consolidation in the oil and automotive industries boosted fund 
performance when fund holdings Chrysler Corporation and Amoco Corporation 
responded positively to merger plans. During this period, when economic 
worries hurt many stocks, our emphasis on companies experiencing positive 
internal change also strengthened returns, with holdings in the 
pharmaceutical, technology, and utility sectors proving to be relatively 
resilient. 

We believe the sturdiness of the fund's portfolio in a challenging year 
confirms the effectiveness of our investment process and makes us 
confident amid ongoing uncertainty about the economy.

Putnam Health Sciences 
Sub-Account

The recent annual period again proved the power of investing in the health-
care industry, namely that its products and services tend to stay in demand 
regardless of overall economic conditions. In a year that saw extreme 
fluctuations in the fortunes of many stocks, health-care issues, while not 
immune to the shifts in investor sentiment, certainly weathered them better 
than those of many other industries. For the period from April 30, 1998, 
through December 31, 1998, Putnam Health Sciences Sub-Account provided a 
total return of 8.49% at unit value.

Fund performance benefited mainly from astute stock selection and although 
we inevitably missed a few opportunities, the fund had no big losers among 
large positions. While performance was quite solid, the fund's smaller-
capitalization stocks as a group were a material drag on results. 
Nevertheless we remain optimistic about the prospects for many of the 
small-cap health-care stocks, although the bulk of the fund's assets remain 
invested in midcap and large-cap stocks. 

Consolidation remained the big news among health-care companies during the 
year. Mergers and acquisitions continued among all market segments: 
pharmaceuticals, medical technology, biotechnology, and medical services. 
The top-performing sector for the year was biotechnology, followed closely 
by medical technology and pharmaceutical companies. The fund enjoyed solid 
performance from holdings in all three categories while mostly steering 
clear of the poor-performing medical services area. However, fund 
performance was somewhat negatively affected by an October selloff in 
large-capitalization pharmaceutical stocks. 

Toward the end of the period, we began to consolidate fund holdings by 
selling a number of smaller positions and concentrating assets more in 
specific stocks with strong growth prospects. In the months ahead, we 
currently expect to continue to seek opportunities within the medical 
technology and pharmaceutical areas. We remain cautious about the health-
care services area.

Investing in a single sector increases the possibility of greater price

Putnam High Yield 
Sub-Account

The changes in the high-yield bond market environment from the first half 
of 1998 to the second half were as dramatic as night and day. During the 
first half of the year, a positive economic backdrop in the United States, 
combined with strong market fundamentals, helped propel high-yield bond 
prices. In late summer, however, a flight to quality swept the global 
securities markets, bringing the worst period for high-yield bonds since 
1990's recession-bound third quarter. Putnam High Yield Sub-Account returns 
reflect this difficult environment; for the 12 months ended December 31, 
1998, the subaccount posted a total return of -7.17% at unit value.

Despite the market's volatility, the fund's strategic underweighting in 
steel and other commodities proved beneficial, as did our focus on growth-
oriented industries that are typically strong in high-yield bond issuance. 
For example, high equity valuations, favorable regulatory developments, and 
new technologies have allowed the telecommunications sector to evolve 
rapidly as one of today's most dynamic growth industries. Within this 
sector, the fund found opportunities among fiber-optic cable companies, 
wireless operators, and competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs). 

Merger and acquisition activity continued to benefit certain high-yield 
companies during the period. Corporate bond issuers in the cable television 
and broadcasting industries continued to take advantage of relaxed 
regulations, which have increased competition for lucrative business. 
Aggressive companies in these industries -- including some in the fund's 
portfolio -- have seized opportunities to secure market share and spread 
fixed costs over a greater number of households. 

As the investment climate has become less averse to risk, investors appear 
to have rediscovered high-yield bonds as a potential source of high income. 
Despite the high-yield market's revival over the past couple of months, 
however, we believe prices have not yet caught up to fundamental values. In 
managing the fund, we currently plan to continue emphasizing 
diversification, companies with little exposure to Asia and low commodity 
price risk, and securities with attractive yields relative to their risk 
levels.

Putnam International Growth 
Sub-Account

Over the past several months, the interconnection and globalization of the 
world's equity markets have become abundantly clear. Over the summer, worry 
that the slowdown in Asia, especially the ongoing recession in Japan, could 
spread around the globe and produce negative corporate profits almost 
simultaneously prompted investors throughout the world to sell stocks. This 
sharp selloff was marked by an equally quick rebound. By the end of the 
year, many international stocks had nearly recouped their losses. The 
performance of Putnam International Growth Sub-Account reflects this 
volatility. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1998, the subaccount 
posted a total return of 17.05% at unit value.

European stock markets led the fourth quarter rebound in international 
equities. Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Italy were top performers, 
and astute stock selection enabled the fund to benefit. Global technology 
companies performed particularly well, with European computer and 
telecommunications-related companies posting sales and earnings that 
exceeded expectations. These companies' success spilled over into Japanese 
components companies and semiconductor-related companies throughout the 
world. Cellular operators in Asia, North America, and Europe experienced 
significant subscriber growth as prepaid calling cards proved an extremely 
popular holiday gift. The fund realized gains from telecommunications 
holdings in Europe and Canada, as well as semiconductor holdings in France, 
Japan, and Korea. European Internet-related holdings were also strong 
performers as anything related to the Internet exploded in December.

The portfolio remains underweight in most Asian and Latin American markets. 
This positioning boosted fund performance over the period, since these 
markets remained weak, with the exception of Korea and Thailand, which have 
shown signs of economic bottoming. We also avoided the poor-performing oil 
and chemical sectors.

Going forward, we currently expect to continue favoring Continental Europe 
over the United Kingdom, although we are evaluating some undervalued U.K. 
media opportunities as well as selected opportunities in Japan.

Putnam International Growth and Income 
Sub-Account

The past six months have represented an unusual period for international 
investors. In mid July, many international stocks started on a downward 
path as global investors reacted to negative events in Japan and Russia. 
For much of July, August, and September, global stock markets sank. By the 
end of the year, however, many international stocks were approaching their 
previous highs. The performance of Putnam International Growth and Income 
Sub-Account reflects the period's volatility. For the 12 months ended 
December 31, 1998, the subaccount posted a total return of 9.73% at unit 
value.

While general market conditions do affect the fund's performance, they 
represent only a small number of the factors that we use in managing the 
portfolio. We are far more concerned with company-specific issues than with 
short-term swings in investor sentiment. Our search for stocks exhibiting 
cheapness and change leads us to many unsung heroes, or stocks that we 
believe to be misjudged by the market. For example, over the past several 
months we uncovered buying opportunities including a Swiss 
telecommunications firm, a Hong Kong bank, and a Japanese beverage company. 
Of course, portfolio management also involves making the correct sell 
decisions. During the period we decided to sell the fund's stake in a 
French oil company. We believed that the company's strategy on acquisitions 
had lost its focus and that recent moves could hurt the company's future 
earnings. 

Looking ahead, we are particularly encouraged by the January 1999 debut of 
the euro, a new currency that unites 11 European Union nations into one 
currency bloc. The move eliminates fluctuations in exchange rates among 
those countries, making it simpler and less expensive for many European 
companies to do business. The euro should also help large multinational 
companies such as the ones in this fund's portfolio to take advantage of 
their size, financial strength, and operational excellence.

We believe our insistence on value in the stocks we select helps offset the 
numerous risks of international investing while still providing the 
opportunity for strong performance in the coming months.

Putnam International New Opportunities 
Sub-Account

With financial and economic problems recurring in many developing nations 
throughout the summer and fall, the annual fiscal period proved quite 
challenging for Putnam International New Opportunities Sub-Account. For the 
12 months ended December 31, 1998, the subaccount posted a total return of 
13.97% at unit value.

As currency and stock market problems continued, we reduced the fund's 
exposure to emerging markets, since these were the most negatively impacted 
by the difficulties. Two notable exceptions were fund holdings in Greece 
and Portugal, markets that have enjoyed the benefits of falling interest 
rates related to the 1999 advent of the European Economic and Monetary 
Union (EMU). These markets also offer rapidly growing companies that are 
well-positioned in fast-growing industries such as telecommunications. 

Even high-profile European companies have felt the effects of Asian-
inspired problems. Early on, we reduced exposure in traditional growth 
sectors including information technology services, software, and banking -- 
stocks that bore the brunt of these developments. Instead, we targeted 
somewhat more defensive industries including retail, media, food services, 
and pharmaceuticals, which we believe have the potential for positive 
earnings revisions despite current conditions. We also found opportunities 
among telecommunications equipment stocks. 

Anticipating a more relaxed monetary policy from both the U.S. Federal 
Reserve Board and eventually the European Central Bank, we have begun to 
position the fund to benefit when markets revert to more normal valuations. 
For example, the Japanese pharmaceutical and medical supply industries 
offer attractively priced stocks with similar growth prospects to their 
higher-priced U.S. and European counterparts. We have also added several 
semiconductor stocks to the portfolio and selectively increased emerging-
markets holdings by adding attractively valued high-quality companies in 
solid economies.

As flexible economies, mobile capital flows, and a rising level of 
shareholder orientation improve the quality and quantity of international 
equity offerings, we will continue to seek emerging- and developed-market 
companies that are well positioned for superior growth.

Putnam Investors 
Sub-Account

Despite extreme volatility throughout the year, 1998 proved to be another 
period of superior growth for U.S. equities, which posted double-digit 
returns for the fourth consecutive year. Putnam Investors Sub-Account 
shared fully in the fruits of the market as astute stock selection and a 
focus on the large-capitalization stocks that led the U.S. equities market 
produced top-notch performance. Assets under management continued to grow 
during the period as more and more investors found the underlying fund's 
large-cap investment focus appealing. For the period from April 30, 1998, 
through December 31, 1998, the subaccount provided a total return of 14.32% 
at unit value.

As mergers and acquisitions continued to sweep through various industries, 
many fund holdings enjoyed rising valuations. In fact, six fund holdings 
were acquired or merged during the year. The fund also held a number of 
stocks of companies that acquired other large companies. In some cases, the 
fund held stocks from both the acquirer and the acquired.

In terms of sectors, technology and retail were top performers for the 
fund, particularly during the fourth quarter of 1998. Technology stocks 
with ties to the Internet were especially strong, as were retailers that 
developed Internet sites. Transportation, consumer staples, consumer 
cyclical, and communications stocks also contributed to fund performance. 

Size and growth also were important factors in the fund's performance, 
since the market rewarded both in 1998. Companies in the S&P 500 Index that 
were greater than $30 billion in size rose 37% on average for the year, 
while companies $2 billion to $5 billion in size rose only 5%. 

Similarly, companies in the index with annual growth rates greater than 25% 
rose 90% on average, compared to a 16% increase for those companies with 
growth rates of less than 10%. For example, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, and Tyco, 
three of the largest holdings, rose 115%, 108%, and 68%, respectively, for 
the year. 

It was also a year of consolidation among growth companies. During the 
year, six fund holdings, among them Telecommunications, Inc., Western 
Atlas, and BankAmerica, were acquired by other companies.

Putnam Money Market 
Sub-Account

There is no doubt that the unprecedented string of international events 
that rattled stock and bond markets over the past year unnerved many 
investors. Fortunately, these events have had a relatively salutary effect 
on domestic money markets. Indeed, as foreign investors panicked about 
plummeting stock markets, they began a flight to quality -- selling hedge 
funds and emerging-markets funds in favor of the relative safety of U.S. 
Treasury bonds and money market funds. At the same time, however, short-
term interest rates continued to fall, limiting the yields available on 
money market securities. Putnam Money Market Sub-Account's recent 
performance reflects this mixed environment. For the 12 months ended 
December 31, 1998, the subaccount tallied a total return of 3.74% at unit 
value.

With interest rates falling throughout the period, we redoubled efforts to 
maintain current income while preserving capital and staying focused on 
investments of superior quality. Extending portfolio duration has been one 
of the most important elements of our strategy. While portfolio duration 
was relatively neutral at midyear, we have since lengthened it to match or 
even slightly exceed the average maintained by the fund's peer group. This 
slightly longer duration helped the fund lock in the highest available 
money market yields while reducing the frequency with which the fund must 
reinvest assets in the current falling interest-rate environment.

As always, capital preservation and superior credit quality remained 
hallmarks of the fund. Over the fiscal period, we bolstered quality even 
further by increasing the portfolio's holdings of securities issued by U.S. 
government agencies, which are the highest quality investments available. 
This move was designed to insulate the portfolio further from increasing 
market volatility.

In the coming months, we will remain watchful of credit quality and focused 
on preserving capital while continuing to seek out appropriate 
opportunities to generate current income in today's low interest-rate 
environment.

Putnam New Opportunities 
Sub-Account

The U.S. stock market experienced considerable volatility throughout fiscal 
1998. On balance, however, the market finished the year on a positive note 
as a fourth-quarter recovery virtually eradicated the summer's heavy 
losses. For most of the year, large-capitalization stocks outpaced mid- and 
small-cap issues, although the late-year rally was particularly strong for 
the more aggressive growth stocks in which Putnam New Opportunities Sub-
Account invests. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1998, the subaccount 
tallied a total return of 22.65% at unit value.

Sector weightings and stock selection played the most significant role in 
fund performance over the year. The fund's top performers came in the media 
sector, where we maintained an overweight position. Cable, outdoor 
advertising, and broadcast and radio stocks all made significant 
contributions to returns. The fund's overweight position in the 
telecommunications sector also paid off handsomely as long distance and 
competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) holdings benefited from much of 
the growth driven by industry deregulation.

Technology remained the fund's largest sector weighting. Although 
individual holdings performed well, overall sector performance was only 
fair. Consumer products and services represented the second largest 
weighting, and as consumers continued to spend more freely these stocks 
performed quite well. In health care, the fund remains underweighted 
relative to its normal position. Over the period, its large-capitalization 
pharmaceutical holdings outperformed. However, this success was offset by 
weakness in small- to mid-cap health-care services holdings. Ongoing fears 
over Medicare spending cuts along with managed care pressure on 
reimbursements have dampened performance by health-care services stocks. 
Business services stocks rode a performance roller coaster, doing well 
early in the year, then dropping in the wake of Year 2000 (Y2K) spending 
concerns, and finally rebounding toward year's end.

In coming months, we will continue to monitor closely economies around the 
globe. While we do anticipate some additional market volatility, low 
inflation and low interest rates provide a solid backdrop for the U.S. 
equity market, and we believe the fund is well positioned for what lies 
ahead.

Putnam New Value 
Sub-Account

Unsettling news from Asia, Russia, and other emerging markets produced 
waves of volatility in the U.S. equity market over the period. While 
volatility can be a bit unnerving, it typically provides opportunity -- 
especially for investors such as Putnam New Value Sub-Account, which seeks 
undervalued and out-of-favor stocks. The fund did feel the effect of recent 
events and its performance reflects this market environment. For the 12 
months ended December 31, 1998, the subaccount tallied a total return of 
4.78% at unit value.

As investors grappled with the implications of recurring financial and 
economic problems around the globe, the fund remained focused on selecting 
undervalued, dividend-paying stocks of companies undergoing positive 
change. Many of these stocks are issued by large companies, and these 
large-capitalization value stocks have performed quite well since the July 
equity market downturn. In fact, in comparison with most of the previous 
three years, the difference in performance between large-capitalization 
value stocks and market-leading large-capitalization growth stocks has 
narrowed considerably. 

Utilities and technology holdings led performance over the period, followed 
by financial issues, which recovered from their summer decline. The fund 
also benefited from the merger and acquisition activity sweeping U.S. 
industry. Two fund holdings in the oil industry recently announced plans to 
merge, and their stocks have enjoyed price appreciation as a result. The 
portfolio's health-care stocks performed well, as the federal government 
decided to delay legislation on health maintenance organizations. Given 
expectations that economic growth will soon begin to slow, we reduced 
holdings in companies whose earnings are dependent on an improving economy, 
such as industrial and basic material companies. 

In coming months, we will continue to seek out opportunities in a variety 
of industries. As always, we will remain focused on companies experiencing 
positive internal change and stocks whose potential the overall market has 
yet to appreciate fully.

Putnam OTC & Emerging Growth 
Sub-Account

Small and emerging-growth companies faced more than their share of 
challenges during Putnam OTC & Emerging Growth Sub-Account's initial 
reporting period. From April 30, 1998, through December 31, 1998, the 
subaccount tallied a total return of -0.20% at unit value. 

The period represented a study in contrasts. The first three months were 
marked by performance in strong ascendance. Then, as financial and 
political instability swept through Russia and parts of Latin America and 
Asia, global investors turned away from investments carrying virtually any 
perceived risk. U.S. Treasury bonds and other conservative asset classes 
were the clear beneficiaries. The small and midsize growth companies in 
which the fund invests were hit hardest in this flight to safety. 

In mid August, when it seemed that matters could become no worse, investor 
sentiment took a positive turn. Our belief all along had been that the 
fundamentals and valuations of the fund's universe of small and midsize 
companies were solid. All that was lacking was positive investor sentiment. 
With this element finally in place, the stage was set for the resulting 
stock market rally that proved most beneficial to small and midsize 
emerging-growth companies.

Because of our commitment to consistency of investment style, the portfolio 
was already positioned to take maximum advantage of the market advance. We 
believe that fundamentals remain strong, valuations appear attractive 
relative to large companies, and sentiment no longer seems negative -- a 
view that makes us cautiously optimistic about the fund's prospects for the 
new year.

Putnam Research 
Sub-Account

Putnam Research Sub-Account began investment operations on September 30, 
1998, with a portfolio consisting solely of recommendations by Putnam 
Management securities analysts. For the period from September 30, 1998, 
through December 31, 1998, the subaccount provided a total return of 24.97% 
at unit value. It should be noted that the subaccount's performance over 
such a short time may not be indicative of results over longer periods; 
neither should it be taken as an indication of future returns. 

Based on experience gained from similar products, however, we have 
discovered how the collective expertise of nearly four dozen industry 
analysts can contribute to a growth-oriented portfolio. This approach has 
enabled other portfolios to profit from the success of many of our 
analysts' recommended stocks. At the same time, these portfolios have been 
able to sidestep some problems when stocks were removed from the portfolio 
before their prices suffered setbacks. 

As the fund begins its first full fiscal year, the management team takes an 
optimistic view of its prospects. With a low-interest rate, low-inflation 
environment expected to continue over the next several months, we believe 
the outlook for the economy and equity markets should remain generally 
positive. We fully expect further bouts of market volatility, but believe 
that the economic fundamentals are in place to support the historically 
higher market valuations.

Putnam U.S. Government 
and High Quality Bond 
Sub-Account

In the wake of renewed financial and political instability in Asia, Russia, 
and Latin America, global investors staged a dramatic flight to quality 
that pushed down U.S. Treasury bond yields to their lowest levels in modern 
history. By playing to the strengths and de-emphasizing the vulnerabilities 
of Putnam U.S. Government and High Quality Bond Sub-Account's multisector 
portfolio, we were able to moderate the negative effects of world events 
while maximizing their positive aspects. For the 12 months ended December 
31, 1998, the subaccount tallied a total return of 6.75% at unit value.

Resurgent troubles among numerous developing nations refocused worldwide 
investor attention on the U.S. Treasury market during the period, producing 
a most impressive and historic rally. As investors flocked to the high 
credit quality of U.S. Treasury bonds, the fund's investments in the 
Treasury market significantly helped performance, buoying its share price 
as other sectors came under considerable pressure. 

Our main focus in the government securities portion of the portfolio during 
the period, however, was higher-yielding mortgage-backed securities. While 
at times this emphasis prohibited the fund from participating fully in the 
Treasury market rally, our concentration on securities with lower 
prepayment sensitivity, such as adjustable-rate, lower-coupon and 15-year 
maturity mortgage-backed securities, did benefit the fund.

The global margin call that saw investors flee riskier investments dampened 
the corporate bond market. A series of interest-rate cuts by the Federal 
Reserve Board helped to calm volatile, quality-biased bond markets. In 
November, investors turned their attention to the extraordinary values 
offered by the spread sectors that had been unfairly punished in the 
summer's global flight to quality. As high-quality corporate bonds 
rebounded from their third quarter lows, the investment-grade bond portion 
of the portfolio benefited.

Given expectations of continued growth and limited inflation, the fund's 
modestly overweight positions in the so-called spread sectors of high-
quality corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities should continue to 
serve it well in the months ahead.

Putnam Utilities Growth and Income 
Sub-Account

For much of the annual period, the investment strategy guiding Putnam 
Utilities Growth and Income Sub-Account rested heavily on anticipated 
changes in the utilities markets. Our strong emphasis on gas utilities 
proved particularly disappointing, since these companies were adversely 
affected by the warm winter and uncertainty about deregulatory issues. 
Things began to turn around toward year's end as a volatile summer for both 
stocks and bonds, coupled with an improving regulatory outlook for 
utilities companies, brought long overdue attention to these high-yielding 
stocks. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1998, the subaccount tallied a 
total return of 13.32% at unit value.

As deregulation continues to create a much more competitive marketplace for 
utilities companies, many gas and electric utilities are departing from 
their traditional roles, divesting some assets, acquiring others, forming 
strategic alliances, and finding themselves with cash available to finance 
growth. Indeed, some of the fund's financially sound, well-positioned gas 
and electric companies have already benefited from merger and acquisition 
decisions. During the period, one of the fund's largest electric utility 
holdings announced plans to sell its pipeline assets to another fund 
holding, a move that would provide the seller with reinvestment cash and 
the buyer with a more cost-effective distribution system. 

In the communications area, sharply escalating demand for basic telephone 
services is reintroducing the word "growth" to the utility sector. With 
substantial holdings among national and regional telephone utilities, the 
fund is well-positioned to benefit. The fund is also taking advantage of 
higher growth rates among international utilities by investing about 7.9% 
of net assets in companies domiciled outside the United States. Nonutility 
investments, including stocks and some REITs with high yields, proved to be 
a boon over the period. 

The fund's bond sector is below its customary level, since volatile prices 
and historically low yields have made current opportunities in other parts 
of the market seem more attractive. However, as interest rates continue to 
decline, utilities bonds may offer new opportunities.

Investing in a single sector increases the possibility of greater price

Putnam Vista 
Sub-Account

Although the past year has been one of the most volatile in more than a 
decade, U.S. equity markets finished 1998 on an upswing, posting double-
digit returns for the fourth consecutive year. As investors gained 
confidence in the Federal Reserve Board's commitment to the markets, buyers 
returned, bidding stocks higher. Investors favored growth stocks, 
particularly the fastest growing technology and internet-related issues, 
although overall, the market continued to favor large-capitalization stocks 
over mid- and small-cap issues. Given its current bias toward mid-cap 
companies, Putnam Vista Sub-Account posted a respectable return, owing 
largely to the portfolio's strong growth orientation and heavy technology 
focus throughout the period. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1998, the 
subaccount tallied a total return of 17.82% at unit value.

Three sectors drove fund performance: technology, retail and consumer 
products, and financial services. Among consumer holdings, our stock 
selection and an overweight position in the sector boosted fund returns. In 
finance, the subaccount's returns were strong but somewhat restrained by 
our underweight position in securities brokers stocks, which rallied 
significantly in the fourth quarter. An underweight position in the 
semiconductor group also dampened results in the fourth quarter as these 
stocks continued to gain momentum. Utilities holdings contributed strongly 
to performance, especially our selection among telecommunications service 
providers. The fund also benefited from its absence in the basic materials 
sector and our decision to exit the energy sector early in the year. Both 
sectors performed poorly throughout the year, and energy was the worst-
performing mid-cap sector during the fourth quarter.

Looking ahead, we plan to keep the fund fully invested in the market, 
focusing on the best mid-cap growth companies while keeping a close watch 
on corporate profits and business inventory and capital spending 
dislocations related to solving the upcoming uncertainties surrounding the 
Year 2000 (Y2K) issue.

Putnam Voyager 
Sub-Account

The financial difficulties of Asia, Russia, and Latin America that produced 
a sharp correction in the U.S. stock market this summer strained the 
performance of Putnam Voyager Sub-Account as well during the year just 
ended. As global investors staged a dramatic flight to safety, they exited 
stocks, corporate bonds, and virtually any investment with a shred of risk. 
The Federal Reserve Board came through in the fall with three interest-rate 
cuts, setting in motion a strong stock market rally that included the 
growth stocks that form the backbone of this fund's portfolio. For the 12 
months ended December 31, 1998, the subaccount tallied a total return of 
22.64% at unit value.

The fund maintains its all-weather growth portfolio of large, small, and 
midsize stocks. As the market rallied in November and December, growth 
stocks performed quite strongly as did the fund's portfolio. Technology 
remained a large portfolio sector. Within it, semiconductor and 
telecommunications equipment stocks turned in particularly strong returns. 
The fund's media holdings also recovered off depressed levels to deliver 
superior performance. Cable, outdoor advertising, and broadcast and radio 
stocks all made significant contributions to fund returns. 

Going forward, the stock market appears to have entered new territory in 
terms of valuations. The overall dynamic of low inflation and moderate 
economic growth continues to support the market, but over the short term, 
we would expect volatility to increase as the market reacts to the 
inevitable fears and uncertainties that will appear in 1999. However, as is 
often the case, we expect these events to create buying opportunities on 
quality growth stocks.

Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate 
Account and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of 
Hartford Life Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate 
Account (Asia Pacific Growth, Diversified Income, The George Putnam Fund of 
Boston, Global Asset Allocation, Global Growth, Growth and Income, Health 
Sciences, High Yield, International Growth, International Growth and 
Income, International New Opportunities, Investors, Money Market, New 
Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging Growth, Research, U.S. Government 
and High Quality Bond, Utilities Growth and Income, Vista, and Voyager), 
(collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1998, and the related 
statements of operations and the statements of changes in net assets for 
the periods presented.  These financial statements are the responsibility 
of the Account's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of 
December 31, 1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in 
their net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998

1. ORGANIZATION:

Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account (the Account) is a separate 
investment account within Hartford Life Insurance Company (the Company) and 
is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a unit 
investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Both 
the Company and the Account are subject to supervision and regulation by 
the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The 
Account invests deposits by variable annuity contractholders of the Company 
in the various mutual funds (the Funds), as directed by the 
contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued 
at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate 
Fund as of December 31, 1998.

C) Security Class -- Putnam Variable Trust consists of a series of funds, 
each of which is represented by a separate series of class IA shares and 
class IB shares.

Class IA shares are offered at net asset value and are not subject to a 
distribution fee. Class IA .40% are for Company employees only.

Class IB shares are offered at net asset value and pay an ongoing 
distribution fee.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

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 1.50% of the 
Account's average daily net assets. 

B) Deduction of other Fees -- Annual maintenance fees are deducted through 
termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' accounts, 
in accordance with the terms of the contracts. These expenses are reflected 
in surrenders on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.





Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate 
Account Variable Life One and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of 
Hartford Life Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate 
Account Variable Life One (Asia Pacific Growth, Diversified Income, The 
George Putnam Fund of Boston, Global Asset Allocation, Global Growth, 
Growth and Income, Health Sciences, High Yield, International Growth, 
International Growth and Income, International New Opportunities, 
Investors, Money Market, New Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging 
Growth, U.S. Government and High Quality Bond, Utilities Growth and Income, 
Vista, and Voyager), (collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1998, 
and the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in 
net assets for the periods presented.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Account's management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of 
December 31, 1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in 
their net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998

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. 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 (the Funds) as directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued 
at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate 
Fund as of December 31, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

A) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the contracts, the 
Company makes deductions for costs of insurance to cover the Company's 
anticipated mortality costs. Because a policy's account value and death 
benefit may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charges may 
also vary. 

B) Mortality and Expense Risk Charge -- 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 1.40% of the 
Account's average daily net assets. These expenses are reflected in 
surrenders on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

C) Administrative and Issue Charges -- The Company assesses a monthly 
administrative charge to compensate the Company for administrative costs in 
connection with the policies. This charge covers the average expected cost 
for these expenses at a maximum of $12 per month. Additionally, the Company 
assesses a monthly charge in the first policy year for up-front costs of 
underwriting and issuing a policy at a monthly maximum amount of $62.50. 
These expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements 
of changes in net assets.

D) Deduction of Annual Maintenance Fee -- Annual maintenance fees are 
deducted through termination of units of interest from applicable contract 
owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. These 
expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements of 
changes in net assets.




Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate 
Account Variable Life Two and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of 
Hartford Life Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate 
Account Variable Life (Asia Pacific Growth, Diversified Income, The George 
Putnam Fund of Boston, Global Asset Allocation, Global Growth, Growth and 
Income, Health Sciences, High Yield, International Growth, International 
Growth and Income, International New Opportunities, Investors, Money 
Market, New Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging Growth, U.S. 
Government and High Quality Bond, Utilities Growth and Income, Vista, and 
Voyager), (collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1998, and the 
related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net 
assets for the periods presented.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Account's management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of 
December 31, 1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in 
their net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998

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. 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 (the Funds) as directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued 
at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate 
Fund as of December 31, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

A) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the contracts, the 
Company makes deductions for costs of insurance to cover the Company's 
anticipated mortality costs. Because a policy's account value and death 
benefit may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charges may 
also vary. 

B) Mortality and Expense Risk Charge -- 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 0.80% of the 
Account's average daily net assets. These expenses are reflected in 
surrenders on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

C) Administrative -- The Company assesses a monthly administrative charge to 
compensate the Company for administrative costs in connection with the 
policies. This charge covers the average expected cost for these expenses 
at a maximum of $25 per month. These expenses are reflected in surrenders 
on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

D) Deduction of Annual Maintenance Fee -- Annual maintenance fees are 
deducted through termination of units of interest from applicable contract 
owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. These 
expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements of 
changes in net assets.




Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate
Account Five and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of 
Hartford Life Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate 
Account (Asia Pacific Growth, Diversified Income, The George Putnam Fund of 
Boston, Global Asset Allocation, Global Growth, Growth and Income, Health 
Sciences, High Yield, International Growth, International Growth and 
Income, International New Opportunities, Investors, Money Market, New 
Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging Growth, Research, U.S. Government 
and High Quality Bond, Utilities Growth and Income, Vista, and Voyager), 
(collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1998, and the related 
statements of operations and the statements of changes in net assets for 
the periods presented.  These financial statements are the responsibility 
of the Account's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of 
December 31, 1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in 
their net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998

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 is accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains income 
represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized as capital 
gains under tax regulations.

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued 
at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate 
Fund as of December 31, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

A) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the contracts, the 
Company makes deductions for costs of insurance to cover the Company's 
anticipated mortality costs. Because a policy's account value and death 
benefit may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charges may 
also vary. 

B) 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 0.90% of the 
Account's average daily net assets. The Company also provides 
administrative services and receives an annual fee of 0.40% of the 
Account's average daily net assets. These expenses are reflected in 
surrenders on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

C) Deduction of Annual Maintenance Fee -- Annual maintenance fees are 
deducted through termination of units of interest from applicable contract 
owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. These 
expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements of 
changes in net assets.

D) Tax Expense Charge -- The Company will deduct monthly from the account 
value a tax expense charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% for the first 
ten years. During the first nine policy years, a premium tax charge will be 
imposed on full or partial surrenders at a maximum rate of 2.25%.




Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust
Separate Account Two and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of 
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust 
Separate Account (Asia Pacific Growth, Diversified Income, The George 
Putnam Fund of Boston, Global Asset Allocation, Global Growth, Growth and 
Income, Health Sciences, High Yield, International Growth, International 
Growth and Income, International New Opportunities, Investors, Money 
Market, New Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging Growth, Research, U.S. 
Government and High Quality Bond, Utilities Growth and Income, Vista, and 
Voyager), (collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1998, and the 
related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net 
assets for the periods presented.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Account's management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of 
December 31, 1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in 
their net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998 

1. ORGANIZATION:

Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account 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. Both the Company and the Account are subject to 
supervision and regulation by the Department of Insurance of the State of 
Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests deposits by variable annuity 
contractholders of the Company in the various mutual funds (the Funds) as 
directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued 
at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate 
Fund as of December 31, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

A) Mortality and Expense Undertakings -- The Company, as issuer of variable 
annuity contracts, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and, 
with respect to the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of 1.50% 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. These 
expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements of 
changes in net assets.




Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust 
Separate Account Five and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of 
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust 
Separate Account Five (Asia Pacific Growth, Diversified Income, The George 
Putnam Fund of Boston, Global Asset Allocation, Global Growth, Growth and 
Income, Health Sciences, High Yield, International Growth, International 
Growth and Income, International New Opportunities, Investors, Money 
Market, New Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging Growth, Research, U.S. 
Government and High Quality Bond, Utilities Growth and Income, Vista, and 
Voyager), (collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1998, and the 
related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net 
assets for the periods presented.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Account's management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of 
December 31, 1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in 
their net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998 

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 various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed by the 
contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued at 
the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate Fund 
as of December 31, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

A) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the contracts, the 
Company makes deductions for costs of insurance to cover the Company's 
anticipated mortality costs. Because a policy's account value and death 
benefit may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charges may also 
vary. 

B) 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 0.90% of the 
Account's average daily net assets. The Company also provides administrative 
services and receives an annual fee of 0.40% of the Account's average daily 
net assets. These expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying 
statements of changes in net assets.

C) Deduction of Annual Maintenance Fee -- Annual maintenance fees are 
deducted through termination of units of interest from applicable contract 
owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. These 
expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements of 
changes in net assets.

D) Tax Expense Charge -- The Company will deduct monthly from the account 
value a tax expense charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% for the first 
ten years. During the first nine policy years, a premium tax charge will be 
imposed on full or partial surrenders at a maximum rate of 2.25%.




Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager 
Trust Separate Account Variable Life One and to the Owners of Units of 
Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of 
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust 
Separate Account Variable Life One (Asia Pacific Growth, Diversified 
Income, The George Putnam Fund of Boston, Global Asset Allocation, Global 
Growth, Growth and Income, Health Sciences, High Yield, International 
Growth, International Growth and Income, International New Opportunities, 
Investors, Money Market, New Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging 
Growth, U.S. Government and High Quality Bond, Utilities Growth and Income, 
Vista, and Voyager), (collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1998, 
and the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in 
net assets for the periods presented.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Account's management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of 
December 31, 1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in 
their net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998 

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. 
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 (the Funds) as directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued 
at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate 
Fund as of December 31, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

A) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the contracts, the 
Company makes deductions for costs of insurance to cover the Company's 
anticipated mortality costs. Because a policy's account value and death 
benefit may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charges may 
also vary. 

B) Mortality and Expense Risk Charge -- 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 1.40% of the 
Account's average daily net assets. These expenses are reflected in 
surrenders on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

C) Administrative and Issue Charges -- The Company assesses a monthly 
administrative charge to compensate the Company for administrative costs in 
connection with the policies. This charge covers the average expected cost 
for these expenses at a maximum of $12 per month. Additionally, the Company 
assesses a monthly charge in the first policy year for up-front costs of 
underwriting and issuing a policy at a monthly maximum amount of $62.50. 
These expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements 
of changes in net assets.

D) Deduction of Annual Maintenance Fee -- Annual maintenance fees are 
deducted through termination of units of interest from applicable contract 
owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. These 
expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements of 
changes in net assets.




Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager 
Trust Separate Account Variable Life Two and to the Owners of Units of 
Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of 
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust 
Separate Account Variable Life Two (Asia Pacific Growth, Diversified 
Income, The George Putnam Fund of Boston, Global Asset Allocation, Global 
Growth, Growth and Income, Health Sciences, High Yield, International 
Growth, International Growth and Income, International New Opportunities, 
Investors, Money Market, New Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging 
Growth, U.S. Government and High Quality Bond, Utilities Growth and Income, 
Vista, and Voyager), (collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1998, 
and the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in 
net assets for the periods presented.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Account's management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of 
December 31, 1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in 
their net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 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. 
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 (the Funds) as directed by the contractholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued 
at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate 
Fund as of December 31, 1998.

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

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

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:

A) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the contracts, the 
Company makes deductions for costs of insurance to cover the Company's 
anticipated mortality costs. Because a policy's account value and death 
benefit may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charges may 
also vary. 

B) Mortality and Expense Risk Charge -- 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 1.40% of the 
Account's average daily net assets. These expenses are reflected in 
surrenders on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

C) Administrative and Issue Charges -- The Company assesses a monthly 
administrative charge to compensate the Company for administrative costs in 
connection with the policies. This charge covers the average expected cost 
for these expenses at a maximum of $12 per month. Additionally, the Company 
assesses a monthly charge in the first policy year for up-front costs of 
underwriting and issuing a policy at a monthly maximum amount of $62.50. 
These expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements 
of changes in net assets.

D) Deduction of Annual Maintenance Fee -- Annual maintenance fees are 
deducted through termination of units of interest from applicable contract 
owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. These 
expenses are reflected in surrenders on the accompanying statements of 
changes in net assets.




Report of independent accountants
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998

To the Trustees and Shareholders of 
Putnam Variable Trust 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, 
including the portfolios of investments owned, and the related 
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial 
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 
position of each of the twenty-one funds constituting the Putnam 
Variable Trust (the "Trust"), at December 31, 1998, and the results of 
each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and 
the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and 
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") 
are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is 
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with 
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and 
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that 
our audits, which included confirmation of investments owned at December 
31, 1998 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable 
basis for the opinion expressed above.

PUTNAM VARIABLE TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998

NOTE 1
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

Putnam Variable Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
investment company (except for Putnam VT Health Sciences Fund and
Putnam VT Utilities Growth and Income Fund, which are non-diversified)
which consists of a series of investment portfolios (the "funds"), each
of which is represented by a separate series of class IA shares and
class IB shares of beneficial interest. The Trust currently offers the
following twenty-one funds: Putnam VT Asia Pacific Growth Fund, Putnam
VT Diversified Income Fund, Putnam VT The George Putnam Fund of Boston,
Putnam VT Global Asset Allocation Fund, Putnam VT Global Growth Fund,
Putnam VT Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT Health Sciences Fund,
Putnam VT High Yield Fund, Putnam VT International Growth Fund, Putnam
VT International Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT International New
Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT Investors Fund, Putnam VT Money Market
Fund, Putnam VT New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT New Value Fund,
Putnam VT OTC & Emerging Growth Fund, Putnam VT Research Fund, Putnam
VT U.S. Government and High Quality Bond Fund, Putnam VT Utilities
Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT Vista Fund and Putnam VT Voyager
Fund.

The Trust offers class IA and class IB shares. The Trust began offering
class IB shares on April 6, 1998 for Putnam VT Diversified Income Fund,
Putnam VT Growth and Income Fund and Putnam VT International Growth and
Income fund. On April 30, 1998, the Trust began offering class IB
shares for Putnam VT Asia Pacific Growth Fund, Putnam VT Global Asset
Allocation Fund, Putnam VT Global Growth Fund, Putnam VT High Yield
Fund, Putnam VT International Growth Fund, Putnam VT International New
Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT Money Market Fund, Putnam VT New
Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT New Value Fund, Putnam VT U.S. Government
and High Quality Bond Fund, Putnam VT Utilities Growth and Income Fund,
Putnam VT Vista fund, Putnam VT Voyager Fund and class IA and class IB
shares for Putnam VT The George Putnam Fund of Boston, Putnam VT Health
Sciences Fund, Putnam VT Investors Fund and Putnam VT OTC & Emerging
Growth Fund. On September 30, 1998, the Trust began offering class IA
and class IB shares for Putnam VT Research Fund. Class IA shares are
offered at net asset value and are not subject to a distribution fee.
Class IB shares are offered at net asset value and pay an ongoing
distribution fee.

Expenses of each 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
bonds and notes; such investments are stated at fair value on the basis
of valuations furnished by a pricing service, approved by the Trustees,
or dealers which determine valuations for normal, institutional-size
trading units of such securities using methods based on market
transactions for comparable securities and variable relationships
between securities that are generally recognized by institutional
traders. (See Sections 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 agreements 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.

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 realized 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 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 and Putnam VT
International New Opportunities Fund may engage in swap agreements,
which are an agreement to exchange the return generated by one
instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The fund may
enter into equity swap agreements, to manage its exposure to equity
markets, which involve a commitment by one party to pay interest in
exchange for a market linked return based on a notional amount. To the
extent that the total return of the security or index underlying the
transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate
obligation, the fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to
the counterparty, respectively. Equity swaps are marked to market daily
based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is
recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made at the
end of the measurement period are recorded as realized gains or losses.
The fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable
changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or in the price of the
underlying security or index, the possibility that there is no liquid
market for these agreements or that the counterparty may default on its
obligation to perform.

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 its portfolio or for delivery
pursuant to options contracts it has entered into, the fund may dispose
of a commitment prior to settlement if Putnam Management deems it
appropriate to do so.

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 Money Market Fund and
Putnam VT Research 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 year ended
December 31, 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, 1998 the following funds had capital loss carryovers,
which will expire on the following dates:

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

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 each 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. The differences include temporary and permanent differences
of losses on wash sale transactions, foreign currency gains and losses,
post-October loss deferrals, foreign taxes, nontaxable dividends,
defaulted bond interest, unrealized gains and losses on certain futures
contracts, paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed securities,
market discount, interest on payment-in-kind securities, realized and
unrealized gains and losses on passive foreign investment companies, net
operating loss, foreign tax credit and market premium. 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. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the fund
reclassified the following amounts.

The calculation of net investment income per share in the financial
highlights table excludes these adjustments.

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 December 31, 1998, insurance companies or
their separate accounts were record owners of all but a de minimis
number of the shares of each fund. From 76.5% to almost 100% of each
fund is owned by accounts of one group of insurance companies.

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

0.85% and 1.05%, respectively, of the fund's average daily net assets.
The fund's expenses subject to this limitation are exclusive of
brokerage, interest, taxes, insurance, amortization of deferred
organization expenses, extraordinary expenses, 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. The limitations for Putnam VT Health Sciences
Fund, Putnam VT International Growth Fund, Putnam VT International
Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT International New Opportunities Fund,

Fund expired on December 31, 1998. The limitations for Putnam VT The
George Putnam Fund of Boston, Putnam VT OTC & Emerging Growth Fund and

PFTC, the subcustodian bank has a lien on the securities of Putnam VT
High Yield 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 funds. At December 31, 1998,
the payable to the subcustodian bank represents the amount due for cash
advanced 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 funds' assets are provided by PFTC. Investor
servicing agent functions are provided by Putnam Investor Services, a
division of PFTC.

For the year ended December 31, 1998, each fund's expenses were reduced
by the following amounts under expense offset arrangements with PFTC and
brokerage service arrangements.

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

Each Trustee of the fund receives an annual Trustee fee, of which
$24,490 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.
