A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Fellow Mutual Fund Investor:
A little more than six months ago, The Hartford rounded
out its financial services portfolio with eight new
mutual funds, The ITT Hartford Family of Funds. With the
addition of the mutual fund family to our existing
variable annuity and variable life products, which total
over $15 billion in assets under management as of Dec.
31, 1996, The Hartford has a financial product for all
cycles of your life.
Since their introduction, the mutual funds have been
warmly received not only by financial advisers and market
analysts, but more importantly, by you, our investors. I
attribute our early and impressive success to a variety
of factors -- all of them based on our commitment to
clients.
First, although our mutual funds are a new venture, The
Hartford is by no means a stranger to helping families
prepare for financial challenges. The Hartford is one of
the nation's oldest and most trusted names in financial
services. Second, our funds are supported by two
respected money managers -- Wellington Management
Company, LLP and The Hartford Investment Management
Company (HIMCO). Both companies enjoy a long and enviable
track record of investment management performance.
But ultimately, the success of our funds is measured by a
single yardstick: the achievement of your financial
goals. And in the past six months, we've seen early
evidence of solid performance in support of those goals.
I'm confident that the ITT Hartford Family of Mutual
Funds will continue to provide first-rate value for 1997,
as we strive to offer you the best possible returns on
your investment.
As an ITT Hartford Mutual Fund investor, I believe the
future holds enormous potential for our family of mutual
funds. By combining prudent money management, the
historically successful approach of long-term investing,
and a commitment to serve our customers, we are
well-positioned to participate in the growth of the
financial markets.
We appreciate your business, and welcome the opportunity
to provide important investment opportunities for you and
your family in the years to come.
Sincerely,
/s/ Lowndes A. Smith

ITT HARTFORD SMALL COMPANY FUND
PERFORMANCE Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
OVERVIEW -
7/22/96 - Since the Fund's inception on 7/22/96, The ITT Hartford
12/31/96 Small Company Fund has performed in line with its Lipper
GROWTH OF A peer group average. The Fund's total returns were -1.2%
$10,000 for the fourth quarter ended 12/31/96 and 14.1% since
INVESTMENT inception versus 2.5% and 13.0%, respectively, for the
Lipper Small Company Growth Mutual Fund Average.
(FUND
INVESTMENT Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
REFLECTS
SALES CHARGE) In recent months, the top performing industry group
within the Fund has been specialty finance. Our
[Graph] investment selections within the group continued to post
strong earnings gains, and the market rewarded them with
higher valuations. A disappointment within the Fund has
been our holdings in the specialty retail group, as our
expectations for this group have not yet been realized.
Recent additions to the Fund included names in the
restaurant group. Restaurants have seriously under
performed the market for the last two years, as worries
about labor pressures and over-expansion have persisted.
We believe these worries to be overstated and are adding
some quality names that represent excellent value, such
as Brinker International, the creator of Chili's
Restaurants, and Rally's Hamburgers. We recently
eliminated Bergen Brunswick and replaced it with McKesson
Corp., which we believe made a brilliant acquisition of
competitor Foxmeyer.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1997?
Nineteen-ninety six was a year marked by significant
under performance of small-capitalization stocks (the
Russell 2000) versus their large capitalization peers
(S&P 500). We believe this gap in performance is poised
to close in 1997, benefiting the Fund. Third quarter
earnings numbers posted by our companies and their
prospects for future growth are encouraging, and with a
strong economy as a backdrop we look forward to
improvement in 1997. Our portfolio investment approach is
driven by fundamental research of small companies. We
build the portfolio one stock at a time and have an
eclectic mix of companies. We strive to keep the
portfolio fully invested and currently find no shortage
of exciting investment ideas. As always, our emphasis is
on finding the best 80+ stocks that fit within our 3-5
year investment horizon.

ITT HARTFORD CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
PERFORMANCE The ITT Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund greatly
OVERVIEW - exceeded its Lipper peer group average for both the
7/22/96 - fourth quarter ended 12/31/96 and since its inception on
12/31/96 7/22/96. The Fund's total returns were 15.2% for the
GROWTH OF A fourth quarter and 37.8% since inception versus 2.5% and
$10,000 13.6%, respectively for the Lipper Capital Appreciation
INVESTMENT Mutual Fund Average. This performance has exceeded both
large- and small-company benchmarks for the quarter and
(FUND inception-to-date periods.
INVESTMENT
REFLECTS Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
SALES CHARGE)
The Fund's successes in recent months were concentrated
[Graph] in the technology area. One of our top ten holdings at
year-end was Adaptec, a well managed manufacturer of
computer components which continued to exceed investor
expectations. Our top gainer, Allegiance Corp., a
hospital products distributor, rose as investors focused
on the company's favorable prospects following its
spin-off from Baxter International. On the downside, Oak
Industries, a supplier of components for communications
infrastructure, declined when Telecommunications, Inc., a
major customer, sharply reduced its capital spending
plans for 1997. Fortunately, the Fund owns a meaningful
position in Telecommunications, Inc., and that stock has
performed well as a result of these steps.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1997?
The overall strategy of the Fund is dual-faceted. We
maintain an emphasis on medium and smaller companies with
dynamic earnings growth prospects, along with larger
companies where we typically see a catalyst for out
performance going forward. We have tended to roam off the
beaten path pursuing opportunities where we often have a
view that differs from that of the overall investment
community. This strategy has served us well and we will
continue to implement it in 1997.

ITT HARTFORD INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
PERFORMANCE The ITT Hartford International Opportunities Fund
OVERVIEW - outperformed its Lipper peer group average for the fourth
7/22/96 - quarter ended 12/31/96 and since the Fund's inception on
12/31/96 7/22/96. The Fund's total returns were 5.8% for the
GROWTH OF A fourth quarter and 8.1% since inception versus 3.9% and
$10,000 6.9%, respectively, for the Lipper International Mutual
INVESTMENT Fund Average.
(FUND Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
INVESTMENT
REFLECTS Looking at the Fund's positioning around the globe, our
SALES CHARGE) overweighting in Europe bolstered returns as these
markets were driven by falling interest rates and
[Graph] earnings acceleration. Some of our best performing
holdings included Nokia, one of the world's leading
manufacturers of cellular telephone handsets, British
Telecom, which was helped by its merger with MCI, and
Powergen, which announced a second stock repurchase plan.
Nineteen-ninety six was not as good, however, for the
Japanese market, as local investors became increasingly
pessimistic about the country's future economic growth
and the potentially negative impact of deregulation on
their financial system. Fortunately, both our under
weighting in Japan and strong security selection assisted
in the Fund's relative out performance. One recent
addition in Japan was our purchase of NGK Spark Plugs,
one of the few companies with the technology to provide
Intel with the ceramic packaging used in its new
processors. The Fund also benefited from strong
performances in a number of markets in the Pacific Basin,
including Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and
Taiwan.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1997?
We plan to maintain an overweight position in continental
Europe, where economies are gradually accelerating due to
the effects of stimulative monetary policies and more
competitive currency levels. While our overall view on
Japan remains relatively cautious, much of our data
indicates a continuation of moderate economic growth and
low inflation. We will use the excessive pessimism this
market exhibits to buy selectively on weakness. As we
head into 1997, the Fund remains well diversified across
international countries and we will continue to focus on
economic and demographic trends which we expect will
translate into a wide array of investment opportunities
for our shareholders.

ITT HARTFORD STOCK FUND
PERFORMANCE Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
OVERVIEW -
7/22/96 - The ITT Hartford Stock Fund outperformed its Lipper peer group
12/31/96 average for the fourth quarter ended 12/31/96 and modestly
GROWTH OF A under performed since the Fund's inception (7/22/96). The
$10,000 Fund's total returns were 7.3% for the fourth quarter and
INVESTMENT 15.5% since inception versus 5.1% and 15.9%, respectively, for
the Lipper Growth Mutual Fund Average.
(FUND
INVESTMENT Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
REFLECTS
SALES CHARGE) Nineteen-ninety six was a year in which "a rising tide did not
lift all boats," so stock picking was very important. For
[Graph] example: in semiconductors, Intel was up over 130% while Texas
Instruments rose only 30%; in computers, IBM climbed 70% while
Hewlett Packard increased only 23%; in pharmaceuticals, Warner
Lambert was up 60% while Amgen was down 5%. Happily, Intel,
IBM and Warner Lambert were all held by the Fund since its
inception in July. Our emphasis on industry sectors that we
expect to grow faster than the overall economy was also a
significant benefit to the Fund in 1996. Our overweight
positions in some of the best performing groups, including
technology, financial services, health care and aerospace,
were strong contributors to total return. Fund performance was
also bolstered by acquisition bids on three of our holdings:
U.S. Healthcare, Conrail and MCI.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1997?
Going forward, we remain optimistic about the U.S. equity
market. Stocks should continue to perform well as corporate
earnings growth continues, with the Fund's focus on those
companies with superior growth potential and reasonable
valuations. We expect cash flows into the market to remain
strong and takeover activity to continue. We also expect
companies to continue to be aggressive buyers of their own
stocks. While 1995 and 1996 have been spectacular back-to-back
years for US stocks, we see continued support for the market
on an event such as a significant change in the current
economic environment causing interest rates to begin a
sustained move upward.

ITT HARTFORD DIVIDEND AND GROWTH FUND
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
PERFORMANCE Results for the ITT Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund were
OVERVIEW - competitive in 1996, with returns in line with its Lipper peer
7/22/96 - group average. The Fund provided a total return of 7.4% for
12/31/96 the fourth quarter ended 12/31/96 and 15.3% since inception
GROWTH OF A (7/22/96). This compares to returns of 7.5% and 15.1% for
$10,000 those two periods respectively for the Lipper Equity Income
INVESTMENT Mutual Fund Average.
(FUND Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
INVESTMENT
REFLECTS In recent months, "value" stocks as measured by the Russell
SALES CHARGE) 1000 Value Index outperformed "growth" stocks as measured by
the Russell 1000 Growth index. Given our value-oriented
[Graph] approach, this environment benefited the Fund. During the
quarter, we sold Pfizer, one of the Fund's largest holdings
that had reached our price target. We replaced this position
with Pharmacia & Upjohn, based on its strong, but less
well-recognized product distribution pipeline, and attractive
valuation. We also established a new position in Sears during
the quarter based on the following factors: retail operations
have been and should continue to be strong; cost cutting and
productivity enhancements should continue to play out in
earnings growth; and their focus on off-the-mall hardware
stores should provide a new avenue for growth. Significant
individual contributors to the Fund's performance since
inception were Warner Lambert, Merck, Citicorp and Exxon, all
of which were top ten holdings as of year end.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1997?
The ongoing focus of the Fund is on stock selection; we
maintain broad diversification across U.S. economic sectors.
In addition, compared to the S&P 500, the Fund has a
higher-than-average dividend yield, a lower-than-average
price-to-earnings ratio (a measure of relative valuation) and
a lower-than-average beta (a measure of risk, or volatility).
We expect the Fund to exhibit these value-oriented
characteristics consistently over time. Although the U.S.
economic expansion is now almost six years old, it still shows
few signs of excess. Moderate growth and low inflation have
led to a relatively stable interest rate environment.
Corporate profits, driven by a continuing focus on cost
control and productivity gains, should show moderate gains
again in 1997. In short, the backdrop is constructive for
equities.

ITT HARTFORD ADVISERS FUND
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
PERFORMANCE In its startup phase, the ITT Hartford Advisers Fund
OVERVIEW - outperformed its Lipper peer group average for the quarter
7/22/96 - ended 12/31/96 and since inception (7/22/96), providing total
12/31/96 returns of 6.0% and 11.6% respectively, versus 5.2% and 11.4%
GROWTH OF A for the Lipper Flexible Mutual Fund average. Clearly the most
$10,000 significant contributor to total return for the Fund in 1996
INVESTMENT was its overweighting in equities.
(FUND Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
INVESTMENT
REFLECTS The success of the equity portion of the fund can be
SALES CHARGE) attributed to a variety of factors. Our large company focus
drove fund performance as several of the Fund's top equity
[Graph] holdings (General Electric, Citicorp, IBM, Travelers and
Proctor & Gamble) outperformed the overall market. Our
emphasis on favorable industry sectors that we expect will
grow faster than the overall economy was also a benefit to the
Fund. Our overweight positions in some of the best performing
groups, including technology, financial services, health care
and aerospace were strong contributors to total return. While
it is our view that the equity market is likely to provide
competitive performance going forward, the challenge remains
to find value in a market that has risen nearly 70% in two
years. As a result, we trimmed the Fund's allocation in
equities slightly toward the end of the year.
[Graph] Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1997?
At year-end the allocation of the Fund was 61% stocks, 34%
bonds and 5% cash, reflecting our current view that the U.S.
stock market continues to be more attractive than the U.S.
bond market or cash. However, we remain optimistic about both
the U.S. stock and bond markets based on our expectations for
a continued environment of moderate economic growth and low
inflation. Stocks should continue to perform as corporate
earnings growth continues, with the Fund's focus on those
companies with superior growth potential and reasonable
valuations. With respect to bonds, we are most heavily
weighted in US Treasuries based on their attractive valuations
relative to other fixed-income securities. We continue to find
mortgages attractive in light of their substantial yield
advantage and expect to add to the sector in early 1997. We
continue to view cash as the least attractive asset class in
terms of total return potential.

ITT HARTFORD BOND INCOME STRATEGY FUND
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
PERFORMANCE Results for the ITT Hartford Bond Income Strategy Fund were in
OVERVIEW - line with its Lipper peer group for the quarter ended 12/31/96
7/22/96 - and since its inception on 7/22/96. The Fund's total returns
12/31/96 were 3.6% for the quarter and 5.7% since inception. This
GROWTH OF A compares to returns of 3.5% and 5.8% respectively for for
$10,000 those periods for the Lipper Corporate Bond BBB Average.
INVESTMENT
Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?
(FUND
INVESTMENT The duration of the fund was longer than that of its index.
REFLECTS Given that yields declined (and bond prices consequently rose)
SALES CHARGE) during this time, the fund's longer duration allowed it to
outperform in this bullish environment.
The strong economy resulted in positive earnings and cash
flow fundamentals for many US corporations. Investors
consequently demand a lower yield to invest in the debt
of these companies. Yield spreads narrowed resulting in a
price appreciation of our investments in investment grade
and BB-rated high yield corporate debt. Our overweighting
of certain communications-related credits such as Rogers
Cantel and an investment in long-maturity K-Mart debt
provided significant outperformance. The Rogers Cantel
investment returned 8.31% for the final three months of
the year, while our K-Mart holdings provided
double-digits returns.
Finally, the portfolio carried a yield which was higher than
that of its index. This higher income accumulated and resulted
in higher total return over time.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 1997?
We are maintaining a portfolio duration which is about 10%
longer than our benchmark index. We also remain overweighted
in the corporate and mortgage sectors. However, given the very
strong performance of these markets during December and so far
in January, we anticipate upgrading the quality of the Fund's
corporate bond investments by selling some of the portfolio's
nearly-maximum allocation to BB rated high yield securities.
As an exception, and despite their phenomenal absolute returns
in 1996, we still view the emerging markets as providing an
attractive opportunity. We would view a correction in the
mortgage market as a signal to add to our holdings. We will
continue our strategy of maintaining a very well diversified
portfolio and will be shopping in the market on a daily basis
for investments which we believe are relative bargains.

ITT Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
1. ORGANIZATION:
ITT Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (the Company) is an open-end management
investment company comprised of eight diversified portfolios (each a "Fund"
or together the "Funds"). The Company was organized under the laws of the
State of Maryland and was registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company.
The Funds and their investment objectives are listed below:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
ITT Hartford Money Market Fund Seeks maximum current income consistent with liquidity and
(Money Market Fund) preservation of capital.
ITT Hartford Bond Income Strategy Fund Seeks a high level of current income consistent with a
(Bond Income Strategy Fund) competitive total return, as compared to bond funds with
similar investment objectives and policies, by investing
primarily in debt securities.
ITT Hartford Advisers Fund (Advisers Seeks maximum long-term total rate of return by investing in
Fund) common stocks and other equity securities, bonds and other
debt securities and money market instruments.
ITT Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund Seeks a high level of current income consistent with growth
(Dividend and Growth Fund) of capital by investing primarily in equity securities.
ITT Hartford Stock Fund (Stock Fund) Seeks long-term growth of capital with income a secondary
consideration by investing primarily in equity securities.
ITT Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund Seeks growth of capital by investing primarily in equity
(Capital Appreciation Fund) securities selected on the basis of potential for capital
appreciation.
ITT Hartford Small Company Fund Seeks growth of capital by investing primarily in equity
(Small Company Fund) securities selected on the basis of potential for capital
appreciation.
ITT Hartford International Seeks growth of capital by investing primarily in equity
Opportunities Fund (International securities issued by non-U.S. companies.
Opportunities Fund)
</TABLE>
The Company consists of eight series of portfolios, each of which is divided
into Class A, Class B and Class Y shares except for the Money Market Fund,
which is divided into Class A and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold
with a front-end load sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares are sold
with a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 5.00% of net
asset value to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held.
Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without a sales
charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation
and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that each class
may have different expenses which may affect performance.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds,
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). Security gains and
losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
b) SECURITY VALUATION--Debt securities (other than short-term obligations)
are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an unaffiliated
pricing service which determines valuations for normal institutional size
trading units of debt securities. Mortgage securities are valued at the
bid price. Short-term securities held in the Money Market Fund are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest receivable, both
of which approximate market value. In the Bond Income Strategy, Advisers,
Dividend and Growth, Stock, Capital Appreciation, Small Company and
International Opportunities Funds, short-term investments purchased with
a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. Short-term investments purchased with a
maturity of greater than 60 days are valued based on market quotations
until the remaining days to maturity become less than 61 days. From that
time until maturity, the investments are valued at amortized cost.
22
<PAGE>
Equity securities are valued at the last sales price reported on the
principal securities markets on which such securities are traded
(domestic or foreign). If no sale occurred on such day and in the case of
certain equity securities traded over-the-counter, then such securities
are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities
quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate at the end of each business day. Options are
valued at the last sales price; if no sale occurred on such day, then
options are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available and all
other assets are valued in good faith at fair value by a person
designated by the Funds' Board of Directors.
c) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS--The accounting records of the Funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially
expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities,
dividends and interest income and certain expenses are translated at the
rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from
the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities
held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized
gain (loss) on investments in the accompanying financial statements.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, and the difference
between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign
currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or
paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes
in the value of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities at
the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange
rates.
d) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which
the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security sold at a
mutually agreed upon time and price. At the time the Funds enter into a
repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying collateral
security(ies), including accrued interest receivable, will be equal to or
exceed the value of the repurchase agreement and, in the case of
repurchase agreements exceeding one day, the value of the underlying
security(ies), including accrued interest receivable, is required during
the term of the agreement to be equal to or exceed the value of the
repurchase agreement. Securities which serve to collateralize the
repurchase agreement are held by each Fund's custodian in book entry or
physical form in the custodial account of the Fund. Repurchase agreements
are valued at cost plus accrued interest receivable.
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, ACCOUNTING
FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF
LIABILITIES. This Statement provides consistent standards for
distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from
transfers that are secured borrowings. Under the provisions of SFAS No.
125, transfers of certain financial assets, such as repurchase
agreements, are required to be accounted for as sales if control, as
defined, over those assets has been surrendered by the transferor. The
Statement also requires collateral under repurchase agreements and
securities lending transactions to be separately classified by the debtor
and recognized as an asset by the creditor in the respective financial
statements if certain conditions are met. SFAS No. 125 is effective for
transfers of financial assets occurring after December 31, 1996, except
for certain transfers for which the effective date has been delayed to
January 1, 1998 by SFAS No. 127, DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 125, issued by the FASB in
December 1996. Management does not believe the adoption of this new
accounting standard will have a material impact on the financial position
or future results of operations of the Funds.
e) JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT--Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds may transfer uninvested
cash balances into a joint trading account managed by Hartford Investment
Management Company (HIMCO) or Wellington Management Company (Wellington).
These balances may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements
and/or short-term money market instruments.
f) FUTURES, OPTIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS--The Funds enter
into futures contracts to retain their cash balances and yet be exposed
to the market, thereby providing the liquidity necessary to accommodate
redemptions while at the same time providing shareholders the investment
return of a fully invested portfolio. A futures contract is an agreement
between two parties to buy and sell a security at a predetermined price
on a future date. When the Funds enter into such contracts, they are
required to deposit with their broker an amount of "initial margin" of
cash or U.S.
23

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITT HARTFORD MUTUAL FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1996
Treasury Bills. Subsequent payments, called maintenance margin, to and
from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying
debt security fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the
futures contract more or less valuable (i.e., mark-to-market) and
resulting in an unrealized gain or loss to the Funds. The market value of
a traded futures contract is the last sale price. In the absence of a
last sale price, the last offering price. In the absence of either of
these prices, fair value is determined according to procedures
established by the Funds' Board of Directors. The variation margin on
futures contracts is included in the excess of cash, receivables and
other assets over liabilities or the excess of liabilities over cash,
receivables and other assets, as applicable, in each Fund's Statement of
Net Assets.
At any time prior to expiration of the futures contract, the Funds may
close the position by taking an opposite position which would operate to
terminate the position in the futures contract. A final determination of
maintenance margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid
by or released to the Funds and the Funds realize a gain or loss.
The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is
included in the Fund's Statement of Net Assets as an investment and
subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of
the option purchased as of the end of the reporting period. If an option
which the Fund has purchased expires on its stipulated expiration date,
the Fund realizes a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the
Fund enters into a closing transaction, it realizes a gain or loss,
depending upon whether the proceeds from the sale are greater or less
than the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises a put option, it
realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the
proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid.
If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the
Fund purchases upon exercise of the option will be increased by the
premium originally paid.
g) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--For Federal income tax purposes, the Funds intend
to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code by distributing substantially all of their
taxable income and net realized capital gains to their shareholders or
otherwise complying with the requirements for regulated investment
companies. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been
made in the accompanying financial statements.
h) FUND SHARE VALUATION AND DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Orders
for the Funds' shares are executed in accordance with the investment
instructions of the shareholders. Dividend income is accrued as of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are accrued on a daily
basis. The net asset value of each Fund's shares is determined as of the
close of each business day of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange).
Orders for the purchase of a Fund's shares received prior to the close of
the Exchange on any day on which the Fund is open for business are priced
at the per-share net asset value determined as of the close of the
Exchange. Orders received after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on
which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced
at the next determined per-share net asset value.
Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment
income and realized capital gains to shareholders no less frequently than
once a year. Normally, dividends from net investment income of the Stock,
Capital Appreciation, Small Company and International Opportunities Funds
will be declared and paid annually; dividends from net investment income
of the Advisers and Dividend and Growth Funds will be declared and paid
semi-annually; dividends from the net investment income of the Bond
Income Strategy Fund will be declared and paid monthly, and dividends
from net investment income of the Money Market Fund will be declared
daily and paid monthly. Dividends from the Money Market Fund are not paid
on shares until the day following the date on which the shares are
issued. Unless shareholders specify otherwise, all dividends and
distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional full or
fractional shares of each Fund.
i) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS--As of December 31, 1996, the
International Opportunities Fund had entered into forward foreign
currency exchange contracts that obligate the Fund to repurchase
currencies at specified future dates. The Fund enters into forward
foreign currency contracts to manage currency exchange rate risk.
Forward contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount
reflected in the Statement of Net Assets. The Fund bears the risk of an
unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward
contract.
j) ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS--Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with
their organization and public offering of shares have been deferred and
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. The
unamortized deferred
24
<PAGE>
organizational costs of each Fund as of December 31, 1996 are included in
the excess of cash, receivables and other assets over liabilities or the
excess of liabilities over cash, receivables and other assets, as
applicable, in each Fund's Statement of Net Assets.
k) 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. EXPENSES:
a) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORY AGREEMENTS--HIMCO, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company (HL), serves as investment
adviser to each Fund pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement dated
July 22, 1996. HIMCO has overall investment supervisory responsibility
for each Fund and is responsible for the day to day investment decisions
with respect to the assets of the Bond Income Strategy and the Money
Market Funds. In addition, HIMCO provides administrative personnel,
services, equipment and facilities and office space for the operation of
the Company. HIMCO has contracted with Wellington for the provision of
day-to-day management services to the Advisers, Dividend and Growth,
Stock, Capital Appreciation, Small Company and International
Opportunities Funds in accordance with each Fund's investment objectives
and policies. Each Fund pays a fee to HIMCO, a portion of which may be
used to compensate Wellington.
The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to HIMCO for
services rendered:

b) DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS FOR CLASS A AND B SHARES--Hartford
Securities Distribution Company, Inc. (HSD, or the Distributor), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of HL, is the principal underwriter and
distributor of the Funds. HSD is solely engaged in distribution
activities which include marketing, distribution and clearing of shares
through broker/dealers, financing distribution costs, supervising the
activities of the transfer agent and maintaining financial books and
records.
The Funds have adopted Distribution and Service Plans to compensate the
Distributor for the distribution of Class A and Class B shares and
servicing the accounts of Class A and Class B shareholders. The Class A
plan provides for periodic payments to broker-dealers who provide
services to accounts that hold Class A shares and for promotional and
other sales related costs. The Distributor is compensated at an annual
rate that may not exceed 0.35% of the average daily net asset value of
Class A shares of each Fund, some or all of which may be remitted to
broker-dealers. Up to 0.25% of the fee may be used for shareholder
servicing expenses with the remainder used for distribution expenses. The
Class A Rule 12b-1 fee for each Fund has been voluntarily capped at 0.30%
through July 1, 1997. The cap may be removed at any time after this date.
Some or all of the 12b-1 fee for Class B shares may be paid to broker-
dealers for distribution and or shareholder account services. Under the
Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor 1.00% of the average daily net assets
of Class B shares that are outstanding for 8 years or less, 0.25% of
which is intended as a fee for services provided to existing shareholders
with the remainder used for distribution expenses.
c) OPERATING EXPENSES--Allocable expenses incurred by the Funds are
allocated to each Fund in proportion to the average daily net assets of
each Fund, except where the allocation of certain expenses is more fairly
made directly to the Fund. ITT Hartford Group, Inc. (ITT Hartford), the
ultimate parent of HIMCO, has voluntarily agreed to limit the total
operating expenses of the Class A and Class Y shares of the Money Market
Fund and Class A, B and Y shares of all other Funds, exclusive of taxes,
interest, brokerage commissions, certain distribution expenses and
extraordinary expenses, until at least July 1, 1997 as follows:

arrangements may be terminated by ITT Hartford at any time without
notice.
d) OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS--ITT Hartford and its subsidiaries
provide facilities and office equipment, as well as perform certain other
services, including fund accounting and financial reporting, to the
Funds. Certain officers of the Funds are directors and/or officers of
HIMCO, HSD and/or ITT Hartford or its subsidiaries. No officer of the
Funds receives any compensation directly from the Funds.

8. RECLASSIFICATION OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS:
In accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 93-2, DETERMINATION,
DISCLOSURE AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION OF INCOME, CAPITAL GAIN AND
RETURN OF CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS BY INVESTMENT COMPANIES, several
reclassifications have been recorded in the Funds' capital accounts. These
reclassifications had no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and are
designed generally to present accumulated undistributed (distribution in
excess of) net investment income and net realized gain on investments on a
tax basis which is considered to be more informative to the shareholder. As
of December 31, 1996, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications to
increase (decrease) the accounts listed below:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
ITT HARTFORD MUTUAL FUNDS, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of ITT Hartford Mutual
Funds, Inc. (a Maryland Corporation) (consisting of ITT Hartford Money Market,
ITT Hartford Bond Income Strategy, ITT Hartford Advisers, ITT Hartford Dividend
and Growth, ITT Hartford Stock, ITT Hartford Capital Appreciation, ITT Hartford
Small Company and ITT Hartford International Opportunities Funds) (the Funds) as
of December 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations and changes in
net assets and the financial highlights for the period from July 1, 1996
(inception) to December 31, 1996. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1996, by
correspondence with the custodian bank. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective Funds comprising ITT Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. as of
December 31, 1996, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net
assets and the financial highlights for the period from July 1, 1996 (inception)
to December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
