Annual report for
Putnam Hartford Capital Manager,
Putnam Hartford Capital Access, and
Putnam Hartford Inheritance Manager / Variable Life

FOR THE 12 MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

Putnam Investments is pleased to provide this annual report for the
variable annuity contractholders of Putnam Hartford Capital Manager,
Putnam Hartford Capital Access, and Putnam Hartford Inheritance Manager
/ Variable Life.

Among the major benefits that you derive from your investment is the
management expertise and research capability of one of the world's
largest investment management organizations. This expertise offers you
access to 22 sub-accounts that provide a wide range of investment
choices.

While you are in the accumulation phase of your variable annuity or
variable life account, all income, earnings, and capital gains on your
assets are able to grow tax deferred, allowing you to keep all of your
money at work for the entire time, paying taxes only as assets are
withdrawn.

Another benefit the annuity may provide is the opportunity for a stream
of retirement income that you cannot outlive. It will also protect
assets for you and your beneficiaries and provides the ability to avoid
the cost, delay, and publicity of probate.

If you are a variable life contractholder, the ability to put assets to
work in a wide variety of investments provides the opportunity to build
wealth and enhance the future financial security of your beneficiaries.

The following report from your fund's managers provides an in-depth
overview of the investment environment in the world's major securities
markets during the funds' fiscal year. The tables that follow the
overview show the performance of each subaccount for the period. While
such long-term performance can never be taken as a guarantee of future
results, it can serve as a general indication of how a subaccount may
perform over time.

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

The year just ended brought both challenge and change to the world's
financial markets. For equities, 1999 was mainly a good year, with
domestic and many foreign stock markets reaping the benefits of a
worldwide surge in economic growth. Fixed-income markets fared less
positively, as rising interest rates and investor disinterest led to
languishing bond markets here and abroad. Volatility at various times in
various markets brought opportunity that Putnam portfolio managers were
quick to act upon. On balance, U.S. equities performed strongly once
again and Japanese bonds surpassed those in other world markets.

EQUITIES

* United States Although rising interest rates dampened performance
until late October, U.S. equities staged an impressive rally toward
year's end. Technology experienced the strongest gains by far, although
energy, commodities, capital goods, and basic materials also shared
significant pieces of the performance pie. Nevertheless, performance in
each of these areas has been concentrated in a handful of companies.
Stock market valuations are high, supported by surging corporate
earnings and the accelerating economy. In today's low-inflation
environment, most companies have little pricing power and investors are
ready to pay hefty premiums for companies with visible earnings growth.

* Europe Performance among Continental Europe's stock markets was
disappointing throughout the year. Markets remain overvalued, although
the economic data were somewhat stronger than expected in the final
months of the period, providing a friendlier environment for equities.
Cellular telecommunications stocks led performance, while financial
stocks lagged. The European Central Bank's interest-rate increase in
November reassured investors that monetary authorities are vigilant
against inflation. The United Kingdom's stock market had a strong
October and November, although it must still battle longer-term
problematic influences going forward.

* Pacific Rim As economies throughout the region continued to improve,
many Asian stock markets moved higher. Japan's market showed particular
strength, as evidence suggested fundamental improvement in the economy.
Japan's telecommunications, information technology, and finance sectors
provided solid returns, as did companies in other industries using
technology to help drive innovation, restructuring, and improved
efficiency. South Korea's corporate restructuring and memory
chip-producing companies across Asia continued to perform well.

FIXED INCOME

* United States Bonds endured a particularly difficult year as rising
interest rates, fears that economic strength would renew inflation, and
heightened investor interest in the stock market drove prices down
across the bond market. U.S. Treasuries lagged the so-called "spread
sectors" of mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, and high-yield
issues. Toward the end of the period, the outlook brightened as bonds
became fairly valued and the Federal Reserve Board remained vigilant
against any uptick in inflation.

* Global With the exception of Japan, most foreign bond markets have
languished along with U.S. bond markets. European bond markets fared
poorly as stronger-than-expected economic data led to an interest-rate
increase by the Central Bank. The United Kingdom was the worst
performer, hurt by an unexpected interest-rate boost and expectations of
more to come. Most emerging markets turned in positive performance,
however, based on higher commodity prices, a revival in manufactured
exports, and accelerating global economic growth.

* High Yield High-yield bonds posted strong returns for the first half
of the year only to retreat in the third quarter. Several factors drove
the decline: concern over possible interest-rate increases by the
Federal Reserve Board, which did raise rates again in August and
November; Y2K-related concerns that investors would liquidate assets;
the loss of momentum from flagging equity markets; a rising default
rate; and net cash outflows from high-yield mutual funds. Nevertheless,
high-yield valuations were attractive at the period's end and the winter
season has historically been a positive one for this sector.

         All total return figures are for subaccounts of the Separate Account and are based on the change in unit value,
         which reflects expenses such as mortality charges, applied at the contract level, and does not include the $30
         annual maintenance fee. Data for contingent deferred sales charges, which range between 0% and 7%, assume the maximum
         rate and include the $30 contract maintenance fee. Performance data represent past results, with no adjustments made
         for taxes on reinvested distributions payable upon withdrawal. Future unit values and investment return will vary so
         that an investor's units when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost.

       2 The separate account for Hartford Life (HL) incepted on June 22, 1987. All 10 year/Life performance
         calculations therefore use the inception date of the underlying fund.

       3 The separate account for Hartford Life and Annuity (HLA) incepted on March 1, 1993. All Life performance
         calculations use this inception date, unless this date predates the underlying fund inception date.

Putnam Asia Pacific Growth
Sub-Account

The strengthening of Asian stock markets and economies that began late
in 1998 continued throughout 1999, and Putnam Asia Pacific Growth
Sub-Account participated fully in these markets' resurgence. As a result
of strong stock selection and positioning in key markets such as Japan,
South Korea, and Taiwan, the fund was able to take advantage of some of
Asia's most notable restructuring stories as well as some innovative and
dynamic leaders of the "new economy." For the 12 months ended December
31, 1999, the subaccount's class IA shares tallied a total return of
104.69% at unit value.

A tidal wave of restructuring, mergers, and industrial consolidation has
swept Japan during the past year, prompting a stock market renaissance
and a strong rise in the yen's value. A newfound shareholder focus has
led to many mergers and acquisitions among Japan's more inefficient
industries. By focusing on companies in banking and electronics that are
implementing genuine reforms, not just talking about them, the fund has
benefited.

Telecommunications holdings have also been strong performers, since the
astounding growth of the Internet and surging demand for data
communications services has resulted in an unprecedented level of
consolidation and competition in this industry. Over the period, the
fund also enjoyed strong returns from holdings in companies filling the
rapidly growing demand for consumer and business Internet services, as
well as smaller companies in the forefront of Japan's new
service-oriented economy.

Elsewhere in the region, a strengthening Japanese yen improved
competitiveness among South Korean companies, boosting performance for
the fund's South Korean holdings. South Korean semiconductor holdings
benefited from an upturn in this market worldwide, as did the fund's
holdings in Taiwan. Many of the fund's key holdings in Singapore, Hong
Kong, and Australia also posted solid performance.

Although Asian markets and economies have made tremendous strides, there
are a few issues that could spell short-term volatility. In Japan, much
work remains to repair the economy, and the government must act to halt
the yen's rise to protect earnings among Japanese exporters. Meanwhile,
Y2K-related issues could challenge other Asian markets, although the
region's long-term positive potential remains intact.

Putnam Diversified Income
Sub-Account

In the United States and elsewhere, the accelerating pace of global
growth combined with the unpredictable nature of investor sentiment to
create formidable challenges in most fixed-income sectors. Putnam
Diversified Income Sub-Account's performance largely reflects this
unfavorable environment. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the
subaccount's class IA shares tallied a total return of 0.35% at unit
value.

As unnerving as the market's volatility has been this past year, we held
steady on the fund's large exposure to high-yield bonds. Among our
reasons were the extremely attractive valuations currently available and
the market's positive fundamental underpinnings. Within the high-yield
sector, telecommunications holdings remained a top focus. Various media
subsectors including broadcasting and cable operators were also fairly
represented, although we have reduced the fund's weighting in these
industries a bit because we believe the period of heavy consolidation is
waning. Many companies in these industries have issued or are in the
process of issuing stock, prompting credit improvements and higher bond
prices.

As the period progressed, we selectively increased holdings of certain
higher-quality cyclical issues in the paper, chemical, and energy
sectors. Stricter Medicare reimbursement formulas negatively affected
performance from health-care holdings, while earnings disappointments
limited the performance of movie exhibition company holdings. We moved
out of the satellite communications sector entirely.

On the positive side, we bolstered the fund's exposure to
emerging-markets securities, a strategy that contributed significantly
to performance, since these markets rallied impressively. The fund's
minimal position in Japanese bonds hindered performance when these
issues rebounded dramatically. Commercial mortgage-backed security
(CMBS) holdings also added relative value to the portfolio.

High-yield securities are rated lower than investment-grade securities

The George Putnam Fund of Boston
Sub-Account

The year ended December 31, 1999, was one of volatility in both stock
and bond markets, as stronger-than-expected economic growth, inflation
fears, rising interest rates, and Y2K jitters combined to keep investors
on their toes. Reflecting this turbulent environment during the 12
months ended December 31, 1999, The George Putnam Fund of Boston
Sub-Account's class IA shares provided a total return of -1.75% at unit
value.

The portfolio remained broadly diversified throughout the period, and
this certainly made its performance much smoother than the ups and downs
of the general market. In the stock market, the strong performance of
value stocks was quite beneficial for the fund. Of course, our equity
strategy does not rely on major shifts in the capital markets. We select
stocks using fundamental analysis, looking for companies that are priced
below their long-term worth and poised for positive changes that can
increase future profits. During the recent period, the portfolio's
better-performing stock sectors included technology, chemicals, and
energy. Financial and telecommunications companies had weaker returns.

On the bond side, high-quality corporate bonds fell in and out of favor
throughout the year. After rallying in the second quarter of 1999,
corporates reeled from a flood of new supply that came to market. In
September and October, corporates rebounded largely because the new
supply was less than anticipated. Although the fund was caught in the
initial corporate downdraft, we later found numerous opportunities to
buy high-grade corporate securities at attractive valuations,
particularly among cyclical companies benefiting from economic strength.
The fund's position in mortgage-backed securities also added value to
the portfolio.

Although we expect some additional market volatility as 2000 progresses,
we are generally optimistic about conditions for value stocks and bonds
and will continue to research  appropriate opportunities for the fund.

Putnam Global Asset Allocation
Sub-Account

The dramatic shifts in worldwide markets, economies, and investor
perceptions over 1999 once again demonstrated the advantages of Putnam
Global Asset Allocation Sub-Account. With a universe of global
proportions from which to select holdings, we utilized Putnam's full
scope of market, credit, economic, and industry research tools to take
advantage of opportunities within the portfolio. For the 12 months ended
December 31, 1999, the subaccount's class IA shares posted a total
return of 10.30% at unit value.

As the year closed, many of the world's economies showed signs of
renewed strength. In fact, economic revival was most pronounced in some
of the Asian and Latin American countries hit hardest in 1998's global
financial crisis. U.S. equities again led the world, riding the tide of
strong economic fundamentals and record-low unemployment. For the first
half of the year, a group of large-cap growth stocks continued to fuel
the market's rise. Later, value-stocks took over, only to be eclipsed
once again by growth stocks as the period drew to a close. U.S.
investment-grade bonds had a difficult year, as investors regained some
of their appetite for risk and pushed up values in the market's
so-called spread sectors. Consequently, positions in mortgage-backed,
asset-backed,  corporate, and high-yield bonds added value to the
portfolio.

International equity markets were unusually attractive for much of the
period, with Asian and Latin American markets leading performance. The
Japanese market rallied quite strongly as corporate restructuring and an
increased attention to shareholder value revitalized investor interest.
European markets began disappointingly, but prospects are brightening.
International bond markets, with the exception of Japan, have languished
along with U.S. bond markets. European markets were the worst
performers, while emerging markets delivered the strongest returns.

As the world's financial markets face varied challenges and changes, we
remain confident that the fund's diversified investment mix and active
portfolio management position it well to take maximum advantage of
opportunities in the months ahead.

Putnam Global Growth
Sub-Account

The close of Putnam Global Growth Sub-Account's fiscal year capped a
rewarding period as investors all over the world gravitated to the
growth potential of many of the companies we favor. Our disciplined and
research-oriented investment process of individual stock analysis, along
with solid stock selection in rapidly growing areas of the global
economy, propelled the fund to strong performance. For the 12 months
ended December 31, 1999, the subaccount's class IA shares posted a total
return of 62.71% at unit value.

Our emphasis on many key technology companies in the U.S., Japanese and
British markets drove the fund's performance. Within the technology
sector, however, we did reduce European information technology service
company holdings as their growth potential became less apparent. Many
fund investments are focused among those companies now building the
backbone of the world's data and voice communications networks as well
as companies providing the equipment, including those ubiquitous
cellular handsets. The fund also has substantial investments in
companies that make the Internet work or in selected "pure play"
Internet companies with dominant brands.

Outside technology, we raised the fund's weighting in pharmaceutical and
biotech companies, particularly in the United States, while maintaining
some of our favored positions in Europe and Japan. The stock prices of
biotechnology companies have been strong this year and pharmaceutical
stocks have begun to come back after concerns about possible U.S.
Medicare reform began to fade. We have also raised the fund's weighting
in financial stocks, particularly those that focus on the gathering and
managing of assets.

Putnam Growth and Income
Sub-Account

Despite the adverse effects created by rising interest rates and
upward-creeping bond yields, 1999 performance was relatively positive
for Putnam Growth and Income Sub-Account. For the 12 months ended
December 31, 1999, the subaccount's class IA shares provided a total
return of 0.18% at unit value.

The chief challenge over the recent period has been the lack of investor
enthusiasm for the value stocks in which the fund invests, along with
the type of strategic sector diversification we follow in managing the
portfolio. In their zeal for companies with expectations of
above-average earnings growth, particularly in the technology sector,
many investors shunned the more conservative equities upon which we
focus: dividend-paying stocks with below-average valuations. Value
stocks outperformed only during April and May, although over the long
term, history has shown them to be competitive performers that offer
less volatility on average than the market in general.

Energy and telephone stocks were the fund's star performers over the
period. Energy benefited from rising oil prices and positive industry
consolidation, while the telephone industry saw increased demand for
voice and data communications from businesses expanding their Internet
presence. Financial stocks remain the fund's largest sector weighting.
These gained dramatically during the first half of the period. When
rising interest rates dampened their performance, we added new positions
in some excellent companies. We also added a pharmaceutical company and
a specialty chemical company to the portfolio.

The U.S. economy continues to provide a supportive environment for
equity performance in general. In addition, the fund stands to benefit
from the gathering pace of international economic growth, since many of
its holdings are companies that have successfully globalized their
operations and stand ready to feel the effects of rising global growth.

Putnam Health Sciences
Sub-Account

Health-care investing remained quite challenging throughout the year.
The strengthening global economy made earnings growth more broadly
available and investors moved away from the dependable, defensive growth
that health-care stocks generally offer. As a result, Putnam Health
Sciences Sub-Account posted a total return of -5.27% at unit value for
its class IA shares for the 12 months ended  December 31, 1999.

While the long-term prospects remain extremely positive for health-care
stocks, short-term setbacks during 1999 prompted some strategic shifts
in the fund's sector weightings. First, we reduced U.S. pharmaceutical
holdings considerably. These stocks have been the darlings of the fund's
portfolio for many years, delivering impressive returns even as other
sectors of the stock market were underperforming. With global growth
accelerating in 1999, investors began to seek opportunities in other
industries and regions that offered strong growth potential and more
attractive prices. At the same time, uncertainty about potential
Medicare reform took its toll on pharmaceutical stocks.

In addition to reducing U.S. pharmaceutical holdings, we also added some
international drug companies to provide additional diversification and
help offset the underperformance of the U.S. stocks. We also raised the
portfolio's weighting of biotechnology stocks to the highest level in
several years. The biotech rally that began with the largest companies
late in 1998 grew to include companies of all sizes by the end of 1999.
Since the last biotech rally in 1991, the industry has matured and more
companies are developing multiple products. Investors have been
attracted by these changes, along with the ongoing merger and
acquisition rumors that often indicate a thriving industry. Strategic
selection of medical device stocks also helped boost performance over
the period, as did limited  exposure to the troubled health-care
services industry.

While pinpointing the timing of a broad turnaround among health-care
stocks is difficult, valuations are reaching attractive levels and the
long-term trends that favor these stocks remain in place.

Putnam High Yield
Sub-Account

As investors began taking profits on higher-quality investments and
accepting risk back into their portfolios at the beginning of 1999, the
high-yield market staged a sharp recovery. Unfortunately, the summer
brought rising interest rates, Y2K-related liquidity concerns, and a
rising default rate which put pressure on high-yield bonds. Putnam High
Yield Sub-Account weathered the year's ups and downs, however, providing
a total return of 4.45% at unit value for its class IA shares for the 12
months ended December 31, 1999.

Despite summer's setback, high-yield bonds continue to present
attractive income and price appreciation opportunities. The U.S. economy
and corporate America are both on solid footing, providing a favorable
backdrop for many high-yield debt issuers. Nowhere is this more apparent
than in the telecommunications and broadcasting/media industries where
deregulation and consolidation also have helped drive performance
potential. In fact, these were among the high-yield market's top
performers over the period and continued to be a key focus for the fund.

The booming U.S. economy created pockets of opportunity in other areas
as well. In gaming, for example, new jurisdiction areas such as
Mississippi, Illinois, and Louisiana have provided solid growth
potential without the overcapacity that exists in Las Vegas and Atlantic
City. We view the late stage of the current business cycle as an
opportunity to add some high-quality cyclical issues to the portfolio,
such as those in the paper, chemical, and energy sectors.

In other areas, credit problems grew over the year, with the nursing
home, cinema, and sub-prime lending sectors suffering. Stricter Medicare
reimbursement formulas negatively affected many long-term nursing care
bond holdings, while overbuilding resulted in earnings disappointments
for movie exhibition company holdings.

Although the market may experience some additional volatility in the
months ahead, high-yield bonds appear well positioned to outperform,
given the strong fundamentals supporting them.

Putnam Income
Sub-Account

Fixed-income investors witnessed a sharp turnaround in U.S. bond markets
during the past 12 months. Following a positive start of virtually no
inflation and low interest rates, conditions became decidedly less
favorable as the global economic rebound and a healthy U.S. economy
pushed up inflation and led to sharp fixed-income price declines. With
interest rates rising, Putnam Income Sub-Account weathered the storm as
best as possible, turning in a total return of -3.43% at unit value for
its class IA shares for the 12 months ended December 31, 1999.

After a banner year in 1998, U.S. Treasuries lost their luster when
investors regained their appetite for risk and sought higher yields
elsewhere. For its part, your fund made only small adjustments to its
duration in an attempt to take advantage of the substantial volatility
in the marketplace. Overall, however, our duration posture was neutral,
a beneficial stance given market volatility. Duration is a measure of
the fund's sensitivity to interest-rate changes. Commercial
mortgage-backed security (CMBS) holdings also helped add relative value
to the portfolio, since these securities benefited from strong economic
activity and solid real estate fundamentals.

High-quality corporate bonds fell in and out of favor throughout the
year. After rallying until the second quarter of 1999, corporates reeled
from a flood of new supply that came to market. In September and
October, corporates rebounded largely because the new supply was lower
than anticipated. Although the fund was caught in the initial corporate
downdraft, we later found numerous opportunities to buy high-grade
corporate securities at attractive valuations, particularly among
cyclical companies benefiting from economic strength. As the sector
recovered, our increased allocation to it paid off. That included
additional purchases in mortgages made just in time to take advantage of
a rally in these securities.

Putnam International Growth
Sub-Account

With accelerating growth in Europe and the Pacific Basin, investor
enthusiasm pushed international equity markets higher over the past 12
months. Putnam International Growth Sub-Account shared fully in this
positive turn of events. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the
subaccount's class IA shares posted a total return of 57.91% at unit
value.

Careful stock and sector selection generated virtually all of the fund's
outperformance for the period, continuing a trend in which country
allocation decisions proved less relevant. Market leadership narrowed
throughout the year, with telecommunications and technology stocks
enjoying phenomenal gains while most other sectors, especially cyclicals
like pharmaceuticals and financials, lagged. As a result of a strategy
begun over three years ago, the fund had an overweight position in
telecommunication stocks and a strong emphasis on technology, a strategy
that served it well in the current environment.

Stock selection was extremely positive in Japan, and outperformance by
Japanese holdings accounted for a considerable amount of the fund's
strength during the year. Stock selection was also a significant
contributor in France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
Emerging-market holdings also performed well, especially stocks from
Canada, South Korea, Brazil, and Mexico.

Looking ahead, we believe the fund's investment strategy, which combines
top-down country and sector allocations and bottom-up stock selection,
should keep it well positioned to benefit from expanding economic growth
throughout the world.

Putnam International Growth and Income
Sub-Account

In a recovery year for the global economy, Putnam International Growth
and Income Sub-Account acquitted itself well against its benchmark
index. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, its class IA
shares posted a total return of 22.86% at unit value. While the
underlying fund's investment strategy led it to underweight the
high-growth and even higher-valued technology sectors, successful stock
selection allowed the fund to take maximum advantage of the
opportunities within its conservative, risk-averse, value-oriented
approach.

In 1999, sector selection in international markets mattered more than
country allocation. The telecommunications sector, particularly the
industries oriented to Internet services and mobile and data
communications, as well as the technology companies supplying those
industries, were the stars. The fund entered the year well represented
in these sectors, but lightened up as the year progressed and valuations
went beyond the parameters of the fund's valuation disciplines. Some of
the fund's top performers were in these sectors.

Sector consistency worked against the fund in two sectors in particular,
utilities, where U.K. and Japanese holdings performed poorly, and
consumer staples, where litigation hit the tobacco and firearms
industries and beverage producers experienced what felt like a year of
global cooling.

Some sectors were mixed, notably financials. Those in established
countries, particularly in Europe but also in Canada and Australia,
suffered from the gradual increase in interest rates in the Western
world. On the other hand, those in Asia turned in strong performances,
some with triple-digit returns, based on economic recovery in their
regions and on major self-help programs.

As for prospects in 2000 and beyond, Europe is in the first stages of
restructuring, cost-cutting, and focus on shareholder value creation.
Share repurchase programs are coming into vogue. Japan is also showing
early signs of significant change, with many companies shifting top
management teams in an effort to bring in new ideas such as
restructuring, downsizing, and industry consolidation, as well as a
focus on strengthening the bottom line.

Putnam International New Opportunities
Sub-Account

The global recovery from 1998's financial crisis has not only brought
about dramatic changes in Japan and Asia, but has also complemented the
astounding growth and consolidation of several new and dynamic global
industries. Using a stock selection process that emphasizes rapidly
growing international companies of any size, Putnam International New
Opportunities Sub-Account has participated fully in this positive
environment. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the subaccount's
class IA shares posted a total return of 100.14% at unit value.

Telecommunications holdings in the United Kingdom, Canada, Finland,
Germany, and Japan were among the fund's top performers as growth and
consolidation swept this industry. The upturn in the world's
semiconductor business cycle also benefited fund holdings in France, the
United Kingdom, South Korea, and Taiwan. Higher consumer spending has
given the luxury goods area the potential for high growth, and the fund
is well-positioned to benefit. In addition to targeting companies
benefiting from the global recovery, we also focused on companies that
fulfill niche roles often ignored by larger industrial players. One
example is a financial services company that targets recent graduates of
professional degree programs and creates comprehensive financial
planning programs for them. Based on the level of fee income that its
services could generate over time, this holding is poised to deliver 25%
or more earnings growth per year.

As many emerging markets staged sharp rebounds over the past year, we
targeted emerging-market companies with strong management, market
leadership, and significant long-term growth potential. The fund's Asian
chip producers represented a large part of the fund's emerging-market
exposure. Latin American equities have underperformed Asian equities
during the period; however, many now trade at significant discounts. We
have taken this opportunity to target cyclical companies in Mexico and
Brazil that could benefit from global growth, as well as
telecommunications companies in both countries.

We will continue to utilize a bottom-up, research-driven process for
selecting stocks of international companies that we believe offer some
of the world's most exciting growth opportunities.

Putnam Investors
Sub-Account

The market's continued preference for large-company stocks like those in
the portfolio of Putnam Investors Sub-Account fueled solid performance
for the period. While a broadening of stock market leadership toward
more undervalued stocks in April and May took some wind out of the
fund's sails, the market's return to a large-cap emphasis by period's
end was more beneficial. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the
subaccount's class IA shares posting a total return of 28.32% at unit
value.

The market's shift toward more value-oriented companies in April and May
was somewhat destabilizing for growth-oriented investors. However, it
could turn out to be an exceptionally healthy development in the long
run. With a greater number of companies exhibiting the potential for
strong earnings growth, we have had a more abundant selection of
candidates from which to choose. In fact, as its track record shows,
this fund has had the ability to adapt itself to a variety of markets.

We are keeping the fund well positioned in the areas that offer the most
opportunities to find larger, growing companies. The broad and diverse
sector of technology still offers such an opportunity and the
portfolio's overweight position in technology is what largely drove
performance over the period. Technology companies remained fundamentally
strong as Y2K concerns diminished and explosive demand for Internet and
cellular products and services continued. The fund's biotechnology,
conglomerate, and communications services holdings also contributed
positively to returns. Weakness among  consumer, health care, and
financial holdings detracted from performance.

In our view, the stock market continues to be supported by strong
fundamentals despite interest-rate worries, and we will continue to
employ the stock-by-stock research that has enabled the portfolio to
shine thus far.

Putnam Money Market
Sub-Account

Money market investments remained attractive throughout the year, and
the market continued to experience inflows of investor cash. Short-term
taxable interest rates rose rapidly as the Federal Reserve Board raised
rates three times. Putnam Money Market Sub-Account took advantage of
higher available yields, with the subaccount's class IA shares posting a
total return of 3.41% at unit value for the 12 months ended December 31,
1999.

In this environment of higher interest rates, duration management was an
important tool for managing the fund. In order to lock in the highest
available money market rates, we kept portfolio duration slightly longer
than the market average for the first half of the period. Besides
allowing the fund to capture additional income, this longer duration
also enabled the fund to avoid reinvestment in January, a time when
money market yields traditionally drop due to increased demand for money
market assets.

Beginning in August, fears of a funding crunch at the end of 1999
spurred corporations to issue more short-term securities than usual.
Historically, this supply surge occurs later in the year, typically in
November and December. This year, however, concerns that Y2K
complications may affect financial markets, along with a Bond Market
Association recommendation to curtail security issuance near the end of
the year, had corporations scrambling early to cover their year-end
financing needs.

Investors have been quick to take advantage of today's higher money
market yields. Indeed, assets invested in money market funds like this
one have grown dramatically over the past year. The corporate sector has
provided many opportunities for the fund to invest these assets, since
yields in that sector have been higher than in the government sector. As
the period drew to a close, we brought the fund's duration back to a
more neutral position. As always, we remain focused on high-quality
issuers and industries and will continue to implement the conservative
strategies that have served shareholders well thus far.

Putnam New Opportunities
Sub-Account

Putnam New Opportunities Sub-Account finished 1999 on a positive note as
explosive growth in technology and media, along with solid stock
selection within these sectors, boosted performance. Since stock market
leadership remained concentrated in a small number of companies,
particularly in the technology sector, stock selection was the key to
positive performance for most equity funds. For the 12 months ended
December 31, 1999, the subaccount's class IA shares posted a total
return of 67.00% at unit value.

Technology stocks continued to outperform every other sector of the
market throughout the year as businesses such as software, networking,
fiber optics, and data storage capitalized on Internet and e-commerce
demand. The media sector also flourished as Internet companies continued
to advertise through traditional broadcasting outlets. With overweight
positions in both sectors, and solid stock selection within them, the
fund participated fully in this positive environment.

On the negative side, fund investments in business services and
financial services fared poorly over the period. Fortunately, the
portfolio was underweight in these sectors, along with consumer,
health-care, and industrial stocks, which also underperformed.

While the Federal Reserve Board has demonstrated its intolerance of any
uptick in inflation, investors remain fearful of the potential effects
of higher rates and the specter of higher inflation.

Putnam New Value
Sub-Account

The undervalued stocks of large and midsize companies that form the
basis of Putnam New Value Sub-Account's portfolio found favor among
investors early in the year, only to decline by the end of the period.
However, sector weightings and individual stock selection contributed
positively to performance. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999,
the subaccount's class IA shares posted a total return of -1.13% at unit
value.

Buying carefully and holding for the long term is high on our list of
strategies for managing the fund. Over the recent period, this strategy
paid handsome returns, when the fund took profits on its position in
IBM, a holding in the portfolio when the fund began operations. While
many investors had written off the once-powerful company when the fund
decided to invest, it transformed itself back into an industry leader
and the fund realized significant gains from the sale of this holding.

The IBM story illustrates another tenet of our investment philosophy: to
buy stocks of companies that we believe to be fundamentally strong but
suffering short-term setbacks that have dragged down their stock prices.
The portfolio now contains a pharmaceutical company, a waste management
company, and a funeral-home franchise that all fit this description.
Each company has strong market share and solid products that position it
well for future growth; their stocks have become available for bargain
prices due to difficulties we believe to be short-lived.

Fund performance in the recent period benefited from an overweight
position in the energy sector, which enjoyed better conditions because
of rising energy prices. Merger activity in several sectors also
contributed to performance. In the months ahead, we will continue to
take advantage of out-of-favor stocks whose potential may be overlooked
by the broader market.

Putnam OTC & Emerging Growth
Sub-Account

Throughout the past 12 months, stocks of emerging growth companies were
generally out of favor with investors. Large-company stocks and,
fleetingly, value stocks, remained the darlings of the market as
investors sought relative safe havens in an uncertain world. In view of
this somewhat inhospitable environment, we are pleased to report that
Putnam OTC & Emerging Growth Sub-Account's class IA shares posted a
total return of 123.38% at unit value for the 12 months ended December
31, 1999.

The fund's strong performance over the period is in part a result of the
thoroughness of its stock selection process. In choosing holdings for
the portfolio, we categorize emerging-growth companies in two ways. The
first is a company that has the dominant share of a dynamic new
industry. The second type of emerging-growth company gains market share
rapidly in an established industry. Over the period, the fund benefited
from gains in both.

Many of the stocks that contributed to performance were in the
technology area. This sector remains fundamentally strong as Y2K
concerns diminishes and explosive demand continues for Internet and
cellular products and services. Far from a deliberate sector strategy,
the portfolio's overweighting in technology is simply reflective of
where many of the best emerging growth companies now operate.
Performance over the period also benefited from our decision to
underweight the poor-performing consumer, financial, and health-care
sectors.

Some small, emerging growth stocks are still selling at attractive
valuations relative to large-cap stocks offering a fraction of the
growth potential. While selecting winners in today's rapidly changing
Internet-dominated landscape will not be easy, we believe the fund is
well suited to the challenge.

Putnam Research
Sub-Account

As the U.S. stock market resumed its advance in October, Putnam Research
Sub-Account was well-positioned to take full advantage of this positive
turn of events. Stock selection drove performance, with particular
success among the fund's biotech and medical tech, technology, and media
sector holdings. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the
subaccount's class IA shares posted a total return of 25.73% at unit
value.

Wireless telecommunications stocks were among the fund's top performers,
as the burgeoning demand for wireless or cellular products has driven an
acceleration of growth for these companies. Technology stocks held in
the fund also benefited from the growth in wireless data demand and the
expansion of Internet commerce. The biotech/medical tech industry has
been another strong sector. Many of the companies in these industries
have expanded from single-product capabilities to multiple-product
lines, which the marketplace has been quick to reflect in valuations.

On the negative side, financial stocks performed poorly. While some of
the recent mergers, acquisitions, and buyouts have not yet yielded the
promised cost savings and revenue enhancements for the new companies, a
negative perception of the impact of rising rates has been the biggest
factor driving the group's underperformance.

Going forward, we intend to keep the fund's focus on stock selection,
concentrating on the most attractive opportunities seen by our analysts
across all industries and investment styles.

Putnam Small Cap Value
Sub-Account

As we conclude the first eight months of operations for Putnam Small Cap
Value Sub-Account, the stock market has continued to exhibit volatility
as investors balance the negative effects of inflation fears with the
positive aspects of strong economic growth. For the eight months ended
December 31, 1999, the subaccount's class IA shares posted a total
return of 2.51% at unit value.

As the fund came into existence in April 1999, small companies and
value-oriented sectors such as capital goods, basic materials, and
energy surged. The turnaround was significant because small companies
and value stocks had been underperforming large growth companies for at
least two years, and by some measures, even longer. Obviously, this
change was good for the fund, and performance from these initial days
was quite strong. Unfortunately, rising interest rates depressed stocks
across the board in August. However, the market rallied again in
October, and small-cap stocks shared in the rise.

During the period, several stocks in the portfolio were involved in
acquisition or merger activity that helped drive up their prices.
Although we do not buy stocks based on merger rumors, we were not
surprised that some of the these stocks could be acquisition targets.
These were well-managed companies whose stocks were selling at bargain
prices, making them logical targets for rivals that seek to grow through
acquisition.

As we look ahead, we are optimistic for the portfolio and for small
companies in general. The merger wave that set records in the past few
years appears to be expanding to include small companies. Based on
historical comparisons, stocks of small companies are still priced
attractively relative to large companies and have a long way to
appreciate to close the gap.

Putnam Utilities Growth and Income
Sub-Account

Fiscal 1999 delivered a particularly difficult set of challenges for
Putnam Utilities Growth and Income Sub-Account. For the 12 months ended
December 31, 1999, the subaccount's class IA shares posted a total
return of -2.04% at unit value.

Mergers and acquisitions have proved rewarding in both the gas and
electric utilities sectors and among the fund's major telephone
holdings. However, our principal goal is always to seek out modestly
priced stocks of companies with strong management and the capacity for
positive change. Currently, we see enormous potential among electric
utilities. Many of these stocks are undervalued, and as acquisitions
were announced in some local distribution companies (LDCs), we began
taking profits and redeploying assets in electric utilities. Many of
these utilities are already supplying power to institutional customers
far removed from their regional headquarters. Eventually electric
utilities will compete for individuals' business just as telephone
companies do today.

It used to be easier to select utilities stocks than it is today. Today,
blurring lines of service between different types of utilities and
changing state regulations make meticulous research on a case-by-case
basis essential to assembling a solid portfolio. Many gas and electric
companies have been divesting assets, forming strategic alliances, and
using newly acquired cash to pave the way for future growth. Some
visionary companies are finding growth prospects in developing
economies. Many of these are represented in the fund's portfolio. At the
same time, some gas companies are starting to offer electric service,
while telephone companies are expanding into the wireless and data
transmission areas.

Although we remain focused principally on equities, we also use bonds
and notes issued by utility companies in order to provide additional
income for the fund. Demand for utilities stocks remains low relative to
the market, but we believe the shifting dynamics of the industry will
provide ample opportunity in coming months.

Putnam Vista
Sub-Account

Stocks of midsize companies, such as those that make up Putnam Vista
Sub-Account's portfolio, achieved strong gains over the past 12 months,
despite investors' insatiable appetite for large-cap stocks and the more
speculative Internet stocks. Midsize companies tend to be nimble and
entrepreneurial, with more business experience than their smaller
counterparts and more potential for dramatic earnings growth than
larger, more established companies. This is reflected in the fund's
healthy performance. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the
subaccount's class IA shares provided a total return of 50.79% at unit
value.

Two trends had a substantial impact on the performance of midsize
companies during the past year. The first is the continued
outperformance of larger-company stocks. As a result, some companies
that began the year as midsize companies appreciated so rapidly that
they outgrew their mid-cap universe. Consequently, the fund sold some of
the holdings that had outgrown their mid-cap status, realizing solid
gains in the process. The second trend affecting the fund is the high
level of speculation in the stock market today. Rather than doing
time-consuming research of long-term fundamentals, many investors are
opting for quick profits in the hottest names, particularly among
Internet stocks. The fund is poised to  benefit with several Internet
holdings.

In terms of sectors, technology remains the fund's strongest performer.
Telecommunications companies, especially cellular communications
companies, have been particularly strong. Advertising and retail
industries have also provided solid returns, while our increased
weighting to biotechnology was boosted performance considerably as this
sector delivered its strongest returns in eight years. An early decision
to reduce the fund's position in drug and health-care services companies
was beneficial as these industries continued to underperform throughout
the period. Rising interest rates took their toll on the financial and
consumer sectors, and fund holdings in these areas dampened performance
slightly.

While we expect some additional volatility in the months ahead, we
believe that midsize companies are well positioned to make their
contribution in the new millennium.

Putnam Voyager
Sub-Account

Putnam Voyager Sub-Account continued its successful journey throughout
another year of volatile markets, owing largely to astute sector
emphasis and solid stock selection among large, small, and midsize
companies. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the subaccount's
class IA shares provided a total return of 56.03% at unit value.

Our strategy has been to focus on companies of all sizes that we believe
are benefiting from the changes brought on by new technologies, such as
the growth of the Internet and telecommunications. For this reason,
technology remains one of the largest sector weightings in the
portfolio. Within this sector, we emphasized communications equipment
and components, taking advantage of the fact that rapid growth in data
communications services is driving demand from all industry suppliers.

The strong performance of media, one of the portfolio's largest sectors,
added considerably to the fund's performance. Demand for advertising
continued to grow, driven by the strong economy and growth in both
Internet and pharmaceutical advertising budgets. We concentrated on
radio, television, billboard, cable, and Internet industries.

During the period, we reduced the fund's holdings in health care as real
or feared threats of government Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement
regulations continued to affect the projected earnings of these stocks.
We focused the fund's consumer holdings on leading retailers, especially
those serving value-oriented niches. Some specialty discount retailers
have found ways to increase profits while offering reduced prices to
consumers. While this sector showed strength early in the year,
performance fell off during the third quarter of 1999. The portfolio's
business services holdings were concentrated on computer-related
outsourcing services and  transaction processing, both areas of rapid
growth.

While market volatility is likely to continue in the coming months, we
believe that increasing economic activity around the world should allow
us to target a number of stocks with attractive long-term growth
potential.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999


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 contractowners
of the Company in the various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed by the
contractowners.

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The 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, 1999.

C) Unit Transactions - Unit transactions are executed based on the unit
values calcultate at the close of the business day. All unit transactions
are executed at fair value.

D) Security Class -- Putnam Variable Trust consists of a series of funds,
each of which is represented by a separate series ov 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.

E) 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.

F) 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. The Company also
provides administrative services and receives an annual fee of 0.15% of
the Account's average daily net assets.

B) Deduction of other Fees -- Annual maintenance fees are deducted through
termination of units of interest from applicable contractowners' accounts,
in accordance with the terms of the contracts. In addition, certain other
charges may apply based on the characteristics of the underlying contract.
These charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments and fees on
the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.



Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account VL I and to the Owners
of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account VL I (Asia Pacific
Growth, Diversified Income, The George Putnam Fund of Boston, Global
Asset Allocation, Global Growth, Growth and Income, Health Sciences, High
Yield, Income, International Growth, International Growth and Income,
International New Opportunities, Investors, Money Market, New
Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging Growth, Utilities Growth and
Income, Vista, and Voyager sub-accounts), (collectively, the Account) as
of December 31, 1999, 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, 1999, and the results of its operations and the changes in
its net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL I -- HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

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 policyowners of the Company
in the various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed by the policyowners.

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The 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, 1999.

C) Unit Transactions -- Unit Transactions are executed based on the unit
values calculated at the close of the business day. All unit transactions
are executed at fair value.

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) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with the terms of the policies, the
Company assesses cost of insurance charges 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 Rick Charge -- The Company, as issuer of variable
life policies, 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 for benefit payments and fees 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 services at a maximum 0f $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 charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments and
fees 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
policyowners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the policies.
These charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments and fees on
the accompanyng statements of changes in net assets.



Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account VL II and to the
Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account VL II (Asia Pacific

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

its net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL II -- HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

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 policyowners of the Company
in the various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed by the policyowners.

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The 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, 1999.

C) Unit Transactions -- Unit Transactions are executed based on the unit
values calculated at the close of the business day. All unit transactions
are executed at fair value.

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) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the policies, the
Company assesses deductions for costs of insurance charges 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
life policies, 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 charges are reflected in
surrenders for benefit payments and fees 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 services
and varies based on the face amount of the underlying policy, among other
factors. These charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments
and fees 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
policyowners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the policies. In
addition, certain other charges may apply based on the characteristics of
the underlying policy. These charges are reflected in surrenders for
benefit payments and fees on the accompanying statements of changes in net
assets.


Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life Insurance Company 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 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, Income, International Growth, International Growth and Income,
International New Opportunities, Investors, Money Market, New

Account) as of December 31, 1999, 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, 1999, and the results of its operations and the changes in
its net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE -- HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

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 policyowners of
the Company in various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed by the
policyowners.

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The 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, 1999.

C) Unit Transactions -- Unit Transactions are executed based on the unit
values calculated at the close of the business day. All unit values are
executed at fair value.

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) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the contracts, the
Company assesses deductions for costs of insurance charges 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 life policies, 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 charges are reflected in
surrenders for benefit payments and fees 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
policyowners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. In
addition, certain other charges may apply based on the characteristics of
the underlying policy. These charges are reflected in surrenders for
benefit payments and fees 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 Two (Asia Pacific Growth, Diversified Income, The George
Putnam Fund of Boston, Global Asset Allocation, Global Growth, Growth and
Income, Health Sciences, High Yield, Income, International Growth,
International Growth and Income, International New Opportunities,
Investors, Money Market, New Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging
Growth, Research, Small Cap Value, Utilities Growth and Income, Vista, and
Voyager sub-accounts), (collectively, the Account) as of December 31,
1999, 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, 1999, and the results of its operations and the changes
in its net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

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

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued
at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate
Fund as of December 31, 1999.

C) Unit Transactions -- Unit Transactions are executed based on the unit
values calculated at the close of the business day. All unit transactions
are executed at fair value.

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

E) 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.

F) 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. In
addition, certain other charges may apply based on the characteristics of
the underlying contract. These charges are reflected in surrenders for
benefit payments and fees on the accompanying statements of changes in net
assets.



Report of Independent Public Accountants

[CAPTION]
To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company 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 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, Income, International Growth, International Growth
and Income, International New Opportunities, Investors, Money Market, New
Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging Growth, Research, Utilities
Growth and Income, Vista, and Voyager sub-accounts), (collectively, the
Account) as of December 31, 1999, 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

SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE -- HARTFORD LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

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
policyowners of the Company in various mutual funds (the Funds) as
directed by the policyowners.

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The 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, 1999.

C) Unit Transactions -- Unit Transactions are executed based on the unit
values calculated at the close of the business day. All unit transactions
are executed at fair value.

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) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the policies, the
Company assesses deductions for costs of insurance charges 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 life 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 charges are reflected in
surrenders for benefit payments and fees 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
policyowners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the policies. In
addition, certain other charges may apply based on the characteristic of
the underlying policy. These charges are reflected in surrenders for
benefit payments and fees 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%.

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

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,

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL I -- HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

1. ORGANIZATION:
Separate Account Variable Life I (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 policyowners of the
Company in the various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed by the
policyowners.

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The 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, 1999.

C) Unit Transactions -- Unit Transactions are executed based on the unit
values calculated at the close of the business day. All unit transactions
are executed at fair value.

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) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the policies, the
Company assesses deductions for costs of insurance charges 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
life policies, 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 charges are reflected in
surrenders for benefit payments and fees 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 charges 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 policy
owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the policies. These
charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the
accompanying statements of changes in net assets.



Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account VL II 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 Separate Account VL II (Asia
Pacific Growth, Diversified Income, The George Putnam Fund of Boston,
Global Asset Allocation, Global Growth, Growth and Income, Health
Sciences, High Yield, Income, International Growth, International Growth
and Income, International New Opportunities, Investors, Money Market, New
Opportunities, New Value, OTC & Emerging Growth, Utilities Growth and
Income, Vista, and Voyager sub-accounts), (collectively, the Account) as
of December 31, 1999, 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, 1999, and the results of its operations and the changes in
its net assets for the periods presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL II -- HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

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 policyowners of the
Company in the various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed by the
policyowners.

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

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

B) Security Valuation -- The 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, 1999.

C) Unit Transactions -- Unit Transactions are executed based on the unit
values calculated at the close of the business day. All unit transactions
are executed ar fair value.

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) Cost of Insurance -- In accordance with terms of the policies, the
Company assesses deductions for costs of insurance charges 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
life policies, 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 charges are reflected in
surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying statements
of changes in net assets.

C) Administrative 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 and varies based on the face amount of the underlying policy,
among other factors. These charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit
payments and fees 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 policy
owners' accounts, in accordance with the terms of the policies. In
addition, certain other charges may apply based on the characteristics of
the underlying policy. These charges are reflected in surrenders for
benefit payments and fees on the accompanying statements of changes in
net assets.




Report of independent accountants
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999

To the Trustees and Shareholders of
Putnam Variable Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the fund's portfolios, 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-two funds constituting the Putnam Variable Trust (the
"fund"), at December 31, 1999, 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the funds' 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 auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, 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, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

PUTNAM VARIABLE TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

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-
two 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 Income Fund (formerly Putnam VT U.S. Government and High Quality
Bond 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 Small Cap Value 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 IA and class IB shares for Putnam VT Small Cap Value on April 30,
1999. Effective January 31, 2000, the Trust will begin offering class IA
and class IB shares for Putnam VT American Government Fund and Putnam VT
Growth Opportunities 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 both classes 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 the 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
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period.
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 sales
price on its principal exchange, 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; such investments are stated at fair value on the
basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service or dealers, approved by
the Trustees, 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, G and I with respect to the valuation of forward currency
contracts, futures and options contracts and TBA purchase and sale
commitments.

The valuation of Putnam VT Money Market Fund's portfolio instruments is
determined by means of the amortized cost method 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 Trust'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). Gains or losses on securities sold are determined on
the identified cost basis.

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 funds are informed of the
ex-dividend date.

For all funds other than Putnam VT Money Market fund, 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 and any premium resulting from the purchase of stepped-coupon bonds
is amortized on a yield-to-maturity basis.

For Putnam VT Money Market Fund, premiums and discounts from purchases of
short-term investments are amortized/accreted at a constant rate until
maturity.

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 fund 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 fund'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. Investments in foreign securities involve
certain risks, including those related to economic instability,
unfavorable political developments, and currency fluctuations, not
present with domestic investments.

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, except 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 they own or
expect to purchase. The same funds may also write options on securities
they own or in which they may invest to increase their 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 agreements
to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return
generated by another instrument. The funds may enter into equity swap
agreements, to manage their 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 funds 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 funds 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 .01% 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 the fund will generally enter into TBA purchase commitments with
the intention of acquiring securities for their portfolio or for delivery
pursuant to options contracts it has entered into, the fund may dispose of
a commitment prior to settlement if Putnam Management deems it appropriate
to do so.

J) Line of credit Each fund, except Putnam VT Money Market Fund, has
entered into a committed line of credit with certain banks. This line of
credit agreement includes restrictions that the funds maintain an asset
coverage ratio of at least 300% and borrowings must not exceed prospectus
limitations.

For the year ended December 31, 1999, the funds had no borrowings against
the line of credit.

K) 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. It is also the intention of
each fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any
excise tax under Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Therefore, no provision has been made for federal taxes on
income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held nor
for excise tax on income and capital gains.

At December 31, 1999, 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.

L) Distributions to shareholders For Putnam VT Money Market Fund, income
dividends are recorded daily by the fund and are paid monthly to
shareholders. For all other funds, 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. These 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, 1999, the fund reclassified
the following amounts:

                                              Accumulated
                              Undistributed   Net Realized

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

M) 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.

N) Beneficial interest At December 31, 1999, insurance companies or their
separate accounts were record owners of all but a de minimis number of the
shares of each fund. From 66% to 99% of each fund is owned by accounts of
one group of insurance companies.

</TABLE>

Putnam Management has agreed to limit its compensation (and, to the extent
necessary, bear other expenses) of Putnam VT OTC & Emerging Growth Fund
and Putnam VT Research Fund through December 31, 1999, to the extent that
expenses of the funds (exclusive of brokerage commissions, interest,
taxes, deferred organizational and extraordinary expense, credits from
Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company (PFTC), a subsidiary of Putnam Investments,
Inc. and payments under the Trust's distribution plan) would exceed an
annual rate of 0.90% and 0.85%, respectively, of the fund's average net
assets.

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

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

Under the subcustodian contract between the subcustodian bank and PFTC,
the subcustodian bank has a lien on the securities of Putnam VT Global
Growth Fund, Putnam VT HighYield Fund, Putnam VT New Opportunity Fund,
Putnam VT OTC & Emerging Growth Fund, Putnam VT Utilities Growth and
Income Fund and Putnam VT Voyager Fund to the extent permitted by each
fund's investment restrictions to cover any advances made by the
subcustodian bank for the settlement of securities purchased by the fund.
At December 31, 1999, the payable to the subcustodian bank represents the
amount due for cash advance for the settlement of a security purchased.

For the year ended December 31, 1999, each fund's expenses were reduced by
the following amounts under expense-offset arrangements with PFTC and
brokerage service arrangements:

Putnam VT Asia Pacific Growth Fund                     $   19,760
Putnam VT Diversified Income Fund                          19,286

Putnam VT Voyager Fund                                    565,721

Investor servicing and custodian fees reported in the Statement of
operations exclude these credits. Each fund could have invested a portion
of the 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 $28,034
has been allocated to the Trust, and an additional fee for each Trustee's
meeting attended. 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
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 a 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 have approved payment by each fund to an annual rate of 0.15% of
the average net assets.

Trustees approve investment policy change
for Putnam Diversified Income Sub-Account

At their February 4, 2000, meeting, the Trustees of the Putnam Funds
approved changes in the investment policies of the underlying fund for
Putnam Diversified Income Sub-Account and four other Putnam funds that
also invest in the U.S. government/investment-grade, high-yield, and
international fixed-income sectors of the securities markets.

The changes, proposed by Putnam Management, were made to standardize the
ways the three investment sectors are defined and to provide greater
clarity and consistency among the funds as to minimum and maximum
investments in each sector, and to establish consistent limits on lower-
rated securities that may be purchased by both the high-yield and
international sectors.

The changes will provide portfolio managers somewhat greater flexibility,
enhancing their ability to compete in the multi-sector universe, which has
evolved over recent years. However, Putnam Management does not expect that
the proposed changes will significantly change the way the funds
are managed.

Sector definitions clarified and standardized. To eliminate ambiguity and
inconsistency across funds, the following sector definitions were adopted
for each of the five funds:

 * The U.S. investment-grade sector includes any security issued by an
   entity domiciled or with its principal operations in the United States
   and at least investment-grade in quality.

 * The high-yield sector includes any security issued by an entity
   domiciled or with its principal operations in the United States and is
   below investment-grade in quality.

 * The international sector includes any security issued by an entity
   domiciled or with its principal operations outside the United States.

The revised investment policies also delete an expectation that the
international sector will primarily be invested in securities of
industrialized Western Europe (including the Scandinavian countries),
Canada, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. This change will increase the
funds' flexibility to invest in nonindustrialized countries, including
emerging markets.

Uniform limit established on lower-rated securities. The new uniform
policy for all five funds limits securities below investment grade quality
to 70% of fund assets, provided that no more than 5% of assets be invested
in securities below CCC in quality.

Consistent minimum and maximum investment limits adopted. The required 20%
minimum investment in U.S. government securities was lowered to 15%. The
redundant separate restriction requiring Putnam VT Diversified Income Fund
to invest at least 65% of the U.S. government/investment-grade sector in
U.S. government securities was dropped.
