Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Hartford Small Company Fund outperformed its Lipper peer group for the six
month period ended June 30, 1998.  The Small Company Fund returned 9.1% versus
6.5% for the Lipper Small Company Mutual Fund Average, placing the Fund in the
first quartile of performance for funds in the group.

Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY? 

A theme that has been present for the past year continued; investors want
exposure to the US market but they also want liquidity due to the fear of a
slowdown is the US economy.  As a result, large capitalization stocks have
dramatically outperformed smaller names.  Nonetheless, the stock selections made
in the Fund focused on companies with strong fundamentals, such as THE LEARNING
COMPANY, and ADC TELECOMMUNICATIONS, and have resulted in competitive relative
performance.  

Q.WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1998? 

The US economy remains healthy, led by strong consumer demand.  However, a
widening trade gap, a strong US dollar, and continued weakness in the Asian
economies should result in a slowing of the economy in 1999.  In this
environment, we believe that winners will be in the energy and technology
stocks.  As such, we will try to opportunistically increase the Fund+s exposure
to these areas.  In terms of stock selection, we will try to find great small
companies and buy them below their intrinsic value.

THE PERIOD.)

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund underperformed its Lipper peer group for
the six month period ended June 30, 1998.  The Capital Appreciation Fund
returned 5.3% versus 12.9% for the Lipper Capital Appreciation Mutual Fund
Average.  However, the Capital Appreciation Fund continues to rank near the top
of the Lipper universe over longer periods.  

Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?

We began the year by finding gains in a handful of companies across sectors such
as finance, telecommunications and retail, and by reducing our overall foreign
stock exposure in light of the Asian crisis.  As we moved into the second
quarter, large cap growth was clearly the place to be in the US equity market. 
The S&P 500 Index exceeded the Russell 2000 Index by a whopping 8 percent and
within the large cap sector, growth stocks outperformed value by over 4 percent.
The Fund+s performance was negatively impacted by a combination of factors
including 1) an emphasis on smaller companies, 2) a tilt toward value versus
growth, and 3) tactical security selection bets that went against us.  
Strong performers over the six month period included AMERICA ONLINE and THE
LEARNING COMPANY.

Q.  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1998? 

Our overall strategy for the Fund remains duel faceted.  We maintain an emphasis
on smaller companies with dynamic earnings growth prospects, and couple that
with an opportunistic trading approach to larger cap stocks where we typically
see a catalyst for outperformance.  Following a period of underperformance as we
now have experienced, the temptation is to alter the Fund+s approach by moving
closer to the large cap growth paradigm which has dominated the US equity market
over the past year.  In our view, however, the real risk now is to chase what
worked yesterday and be poorly positioned for a potential rebound in small and
mid cap stocks.

HAVE BEEN VALUED AT $11,440 ON 6/30/98 ($10,940 WITH A REDEMPTION AT THE END OF
THE PERIOD.)

Q.  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Hartford MidCap Fund outperformed its Lipper peer group for the six month
period ended June 30, 1998.  The MidCap Fund provided a total return of 14.9%
versus 10.7% for the Lipper Mid Cap Mutual Fund Average, placing the Fund in the
first quartile of performance for funds in the group.

Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY? 

Despite the fact that mid cap stocks have grown their earnings faster than large
cap stocks over the past five years, investors+ preference for stability,
liquidity, and safety in a slowing economic environment drove large cap
outperformance for the last year.  There were several changes to the Fund+s
industry weights during the six month period that contributed to positive
returns relative to competitors.  Overall, the strong performance was led by our
stock selection in the technology sector.  Many technology stocks did well as
the slowing pace of overall earnings growth made their year over year growth
numbers stand out.  Additionally, computer service and software companies are
seeing demand accelerate due to the Year 2000 crunch, a continuation of the
outsourcing trend, and a shortage of information technology employees.  Two of
our recent purchases, AMERICAN TOWER and SFX ENTERTAINMENT did well as they were
up over 20% and 40%, respectively in the second quarter.

Q.  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1998? 

The Fund consists of high quality mid cap companies "on the verge of greatness"
within our five sectors of opportunity:  consumer products, finance, health
care, services, and technology.  The outlook for the type of mid cap companies
that we buy for the Fund is good.  These high quality, market leading mid cap
growth companies which have minimal overseas exposure should fare relatively
well during a period of modest growth in the United States and turbulence
outside the United States.

Q.  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Hartford International Opportunities Fund outperformed its Lipper peer group
for the six month period ended June 30, 1998.  The International Opportunities
Fund returned 16.0% versus 15.5% for the Lipper International Mutual Fund
Average, placing the Fund in the second quartile of performance for funds in the
group.

Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY? 

Overall, Europe showed strong performance and the Fund continued to benefit as a
result of its large, overweight position in that region.  Also a benefit was our
underweight position in Asia where virtually every market in the region took a
turn for the worse after having seen a short but unsustainable bounce at the
beginning of the year. 

Q.  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1998? 

Europe remains the Fund's major area of exposure, and Japan remains the area
that is most significantly underweighted versus international benchmarks.  In
all markets, we take a -fundamental research+ approach, seeking stocks that are
attractively valued relative to their long-term prospects for growth.  We
continue to feel that Europe shows the most promise for continued economic
growth and profit improvement.  While there are many companies in Japan and the
rest of the Asia Pacific region that are attractively valued relative to
companies in other regions, we do not believe that the region has turned the
corner yet and feel that the investment risks outweigh the prospective rewards
at  this time.

Q.  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Hartford Stock Fund outperformed its Lipper peer group for the six month
period ended 6/30/98.  The Stock Fund provided a total return of 21.6% versus
15.1% for the Lipper Growth Mutual Fund Average, placing the Fund in the first
quartile of performance for funds in the group. 

Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?

Overall, the Fund+s performance over the last six month period was helped by
favorable sector weightings and strong stock selection.  We continued to
emphasize predictable growth companies where results would not be seriously
damaged by the slowdown in the Pacific Rim.  Our emphasis on less cyclical
companies in areas such as health care and household products, and our
overweights in financials and technology, continued to produce good results
through the first half of 1998.

Q.  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1998? 

While concerns have surfaced about valuations as a result of the strong
performance of the US equity market during the first half of the year, we
continue to remain optimistic about the outlook.  The economy seems to be
slowing at just the right time to prevent the Fed from raising interest rates.
Employment levels are extremely favorable.  Inflation remains low and well under
control.  US consumers are benefiting from lower priced Asian imports, low
interest rates and falling commodity prices.  The Federal budget is in surplus.
US companies are gaining access to areas of the world that promise excellent
earnings growth over time.  Mutual fund cash flows remain strong.  The bond
market has started to provide support for higher multiples as yields move lower.
While this may all sound too good to be true, the fact is that it is true and we
see no reason why this should change anytime soon.

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Hartford Growth and Income Fund outperformed its Lipper peer group for the
two month period ended June 30, 1998.  The Fund returned 1.5% versus -0.4% for
the Lipper Growth & Income Average.  

Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?

While it is early to comment on performance, in the inaugural months, the Fund
is competing well in its Lipper universe.  The US equity market continued its
upward trend, but at a slower pace and with a very narrow focus.  Large-cap
growth stocks provided almost all of the gains.  Several of the Fund's top
performing names were in the technology sector, such as COMPUTER SCIENCES,
MICROSOFT and DELL COMPUTER.  Another sector which helped performance was
retailing; strong US economic growth continues to bolster companies like GAP,
HOME DEPOT and WAL-MART.  Weakness in oil prices continues to plague our energy
service companies such as FRIEDE GOLDMAN and HELMERICH & PAYNE.  These are good
companies in a difficult environment, and we have added to them during the price
declines.

Q.  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1998? 

With the economy showing more obvious signs of slowing, and consumer spending
likely to have more staying power than business investment, we expect to keep
the Fund+s moderate sector and industry emphasis on finance, consumer
discretionary, and utilities.  We'll reduce emphasis on most cyclical areas, as
well as the more richly valued drug and consumer staples stocks.

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM? 

The Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund outperformed its Lipper peer group for the
six month period ended June 30, 1998.  The Dividend and Growth Fund provided a
total return of 9.8% versus 9.1% for the Lipper Equity Income Mutual Fund
Average, placing the Fund in the second quartile of performance for funds in the
group.

Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY? 

The health care industry was an area of strength for the Fund due to positive
stock selection, with strong performance from names such as WARNER-LAMBERT and
AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS.  The finance sector was initially a drag on performance
at the beginning of the year, yet CITICORP ultimately helped performance, as did
MARSH & MCLELLAN.  During the second quarter, large capitalization stocks
outperformed small cap stocks by almost 8% and growth outperformed value by more
than 4%.  Therefore, the Fund+s large capitalization focus was a positive, while
the strength in growth-oriented securities was a detriment given our value
orientation.

Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1998? 

Broad diversification across economic sectors is an ongoing part of the Fund's
approach.  Since our focus is on stock selection, the sector representation will
be fairly stable over time.  The competitive pricing environment brought on by
the deteriorating economic conditions in Asia and the rising US dollar exchange
rate should ensure a very low inflation rate for the year.  As a result, we
believe the Fund is well-positioned going forward given its emphasis on less
cyclical companies in areas such as health care and household products with
above-average yields, below average price-to-earnings ratios and risk.

THE PERIOD.)

Q.  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Hartford Advisers Fund outperformed its Lipper peer group for the six month
period ended 6/30/98.  The Advisers Fund provided a total return of 13.9% versus
10.1% for the Lipper Flexible Mutual Fund Average, placing the Fund in the first
quartile of performance for funds in the group.

Q. WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY? 

The reasons for the strong performance of the Fund relative to competitors 
for the six month period are twofold.  First, the equity portion of the Fund 
has achieved significantly greater total return than the competition and, 
second, the Fund+s equity ratio has been high during a period of strong 
equity markets. Although the bond portion of the Fund has performed well, the 
keys to performance have been in the equity portion and in the asset 
allocation (63% stocks, 33% bonds and 4% cash as of 6/30/98).

Q.WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1998? 

We have felt for some time that the direction of bond yields was downward, and
we have positioned the Fund+s fixed income portfolio with longer-than-benchmark
duration in order to take advantage of any interest rate decline.  In addition,
we have limited our holdings of mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds
given their stretched valuations.  While concerns have surfaced about valuations
as a result of the strong performance of the US equity market during the first
half of the year, we continue to remain optimistic about the outlook.  Given the
economic environment with low inflation, low interest rates, and reasonable
economic growth, we see little reason to reduce the Funds' equity ratio.  The
bull market has been a long one, but we remain comfortable with an equity ratio
in the area of 62%.  We continue to prefer bonds to cash and are therefore
keeping the Funds+ cash commitment quite low.

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Hartford Bond Income Strategy Fund Class A shares placed in the 54th
percentile of its Lipper peer group for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
producing a total return of 3.35% versus the 3.31% average return of the Lipper
Corporate Debt "BBB" rated Mutual Fund universe.

Q.  WHY DID THE FUND PERFORM THIS WAY?

There were two major contributors to the fund+s performance this quarter.  The
first was the Fund+s duration of 6.2 years which was approximately 16% longer
than its benchmark index.  Yields declined between 20 and 30 basis points during
the quarter in ten-year and longer- maturity Treasuries, resulting in price
gains.  High quality long-maturity corporate securities also benefited.  The
Fund+s overweighted position in these securities contributed positively to
returns.  Second, the Fund+s allocation to BB rated domestic high yield and
emerging market issues.  The combination of huge new issue supply in the
domestic high yield market and Asian-induced weakness in the Emerging Markets
resulted in underperformance of these securities relative to higher quality
alternatives during the quarter.  We began the quarter with an underweighted
position in these assets and gradually increased the portfolio allocation to an
overweighted position at the end of the second quarter, as attractive values
emerged.  Second quarter performance, however, was impacted by this allocation.

Q.  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1998? 

High inflation-adjusted Treasury yields, the continued perceived safety of US
investments amidst recent global volatility, and the improving deficit
situation, all contribute to our expectation that Treasury securities will
continue to perform well over the course of 1998.  We have added a position in
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities in to our belief that these securities
are fundamentally inexpensive, and could significantly outperform other fixed
income assets (of any quality) in the event that inflation emerges and/or real
Treasury yields decline.  We continue to hold a portfolio of high average
quality in order to express our view that US Treasuries provide one of the most
attractive risk/reward profiles among the taxable fixed income asset classes. 
The second quarter increase in allocation to high yield securities will provide
our shareholders with additional yield, but it is also our expectation that
these securities will perform well in the near term.  Finally, we continue to
find value in fifteen-year discount mortgage passthroughs, such as FNMA Dwarf
6s, to provide additional yield, limit risk of a significant rise in
prepayments, and enhance portfolio diversification.

</TABLE>
 
    The Company consists of ten series of portfolios, each of which is divided
    into Class A, Class B 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 is assessed on the lesser of the net
    asset value of the shares at the time of redemption or the original purchase
    price, and declines from 5.00% to zero depending on the period of time the
    shares are held. Class Y shares are sold to certain eligible institutional
    investors without a sales charge. All classes of shares have identical
    voting, redemption, 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.
 
                                       38
<PAGE>
    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 Fund, the Advisers Fund, the Dividend and Growth Fund, the Stock
       Fund, the Capital Appreciation Fund, the Small Company Fund, the
       International Opportunities Fund, the MidCap Fund and the Growth and
       Income Funds, short-term investments with a maturity of 60 days or less
       when purchased are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
       value. Short-term investments purchased with a maturity of more than 60
       days when purchased are valued based on market quotations until the
       remaining days to maturity become less than 61 days. From such time until
       maturity, the investments are valued at amortized cost.
 
       Equity securities are valued at the last sales price reported on the
       principal securities exchange on which such securities are traded
       (domestic or foreign) or on the principal over-the-counter market on
       which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day
       the securities are being valued. If no sale took place on a particular
       day 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 exchange rates at the end of each business day. Options
       are valued at the last sales price; if no sale took place 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, or under the
       direction of, 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
       prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities,
       dividend 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 currency 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 or 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, 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, 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.
 
    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 The Hartford
       Investment Management Company (HIMCO) or Wellington Management Company
       LLP (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 TRANSASTIONS--The Funds enter
       into futures contracts to retain their cash balance and yet be exposed to
       the market, thereby providing the liquidity necessary to accommodate
       redemptions while at the same time providing shareholders with 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 set price
       on a future date. When the Funds enter into such contracts, they are
       required to deposit with their custodian an amount of "initial margin" of
 
                                       39

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 JUNE 30, 1998 (UNAUDITED)
       cash or U.S. 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), which results 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 is
       used. 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 cash, receivables,
       and other assets or liabilities, 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 on 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 will be increased by the premium originally paid
       to buy the call.
 
    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 net investment income and net realized capital gains to their
       shareholders or otherwise complying with the requirements of 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 Fund's 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).
       The net asset value per share is determined separately for each class of
       each fund by dividing the Fund's net assets attributable to that class by
       the number of shares of the class outstanding. 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 per-share net asset
       value next determined.
 
       Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment
       income and net realized capital gains to shareholders no less frequently
       than once a year. Normally, dividends from net investment income of the
       Small Company Fund, the Capital Appreciation Fund, the International
       Opportunities Fund, the Stock Fund, and the MidCap Fund will be declared
       and paid annually; dividends from net investment income of the Dividend
       and Growth Fund, the Advisers Fund, and the Growth and Income Fund will
       be declared and paid quarterly; 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.
 
       Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains
       are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which
       may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These
       differences include the treatment of non-taxable dividends, expiring
       capital loss carryforwards, foreign currency gains and losses, losses
 
                                       40
<PAGE>
       deffered due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and
       federal income tax basis differences relating to shareholder
       distributions will result in reclassifications to certain of the Funds'
       capital accounts (see Note 8).
 
    i)  FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS--As of June 30, 1998, the Capital
       Appreciation Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange
       contracts that obligate the Fund to repurchase/replace or sell currencies
       at specified future dates. The Fund enters into forward foreign currency
       contracts to hedge against adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between
       currencies.
 
       Forward contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount
       reflected in the Statement of Net Assets. In addition, risks may arise
       upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
       counterparties to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated
       movement in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U. S. dollar.
 
    j)  ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS--Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with
       their organization have been deferred and are being amortized on a
       straight line basis over five years. The unamortized deferred
       organizational costs of each Fund as of June 30, 1998 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
 
    l)  RESTRICTED SECURITIES--Each Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its
       net assets in illiquid securities, except for the Money Market Fund,
       which may invest up to 10% in such securities. "Illiquid Securities" are
       those that may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of
       business, at approximately the price used to determine a Fund's net asset
       value per share. Each Fund may also purchase certain restricted
       securities, commonly known as Rule 144A securities, that can be resold to
       institutions and which may be determined to be liquid pursuant to
       policies and guidelines established by the Funds' Board of Directors.
 
       At June 30, 1998 the Funds held the following restricted securities
       (excluding 144A issues):

    b)  DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN FOR CLASS A AND B SHARES --Hartford
       Securities Distribution Company, Inc. (HSD, or the Distributor), an
       indirect majority-owned subsidiary of The Hartford, 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. During the six months ended June 30, 1998,
       HSD earned $14,903,873 in front-end load sales charges on the sale of
       fund shares and received $499,662 from the proceeds of imposed contigent
       deferred sales charges.
 
       The Funds have adopted Distribution and Service Plans in accordance with
       Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to
       compensate the Distributor (HSD) 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 brokers
       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 the Fund some or all of which may be
       remitted to brokers. 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
 
                                       42
<PAGE>
       each Fund has been voluntarily capped at 0.30% through April 30, 1999.
       The cap may be removed at any time after such 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 service 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 allocation of certain expenses is more fairly
       made directly to the Fund. The Hartford has voluntarily agreed to limit
       the total operating expenses of the Class A, B and Y shares of all the
       Funds, exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, certain
       distribution expenses and extraordinary expenses, until at least April
       30, 1999 as follows:
