               CONDENSED NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                MARCH 31, 1999
                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                        

C.M. Life Insurance Company ("C.M. Life" or "The Company"), 140 Garden Street,
Hartford, Connecticut, 06154, is a stock life insurance company. The Company
primarily sells flexible premium universal life insurance and variable annuity
products, and is licensed in Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and 49
states, excluding the State of New York. C.M. Life is a wholly owned stock life
insurance subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company
("MassMutual").


1.  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
- -----------------------------------

The accompanying statutory financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with the statutory accounting practices of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners ("NAIC") and the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and are different in
some respects from financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  The more significant differences are
as follows:  (a) acquisition costs, such as commissions and other costs directly
related to acquiring new business, are charged to current operations as
incurred, whereas GAAP would require these expenses to be capitalized and
recognized over the life of the policies; (b) policy reserves are based upon
statutory mortality and interest requirements without consideration of
withdrawals, whereas GAAP reserves would be based upon reasonably conservative
estimates of mortality, interest and withdrawals; (c) bonds are generally
carried at amortized cost whereas GAAP generally requires they be reported at
fair value; (d) deferred income taxes are not provided for book-tax timing
differences as would be required by GAAP; and (e) payments received for
universal life products and variable annuities are reported as premium revenue,
whereas under GAAP, these payments would be recorded as deposits to
policyholders' account balances.

In March 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting
Principles ("Codification").  Codification provides a comprehensive guide of
statutory accounting principles for use by insurers in all states and is
expected to become effective no later than January 1, 2001.  The effect of
adopting Codification shall be reported as an adjustment to surplus on the
effective date.  The Company is currently reviewing the impact of codification;
however, since the State of Connecticut Insurance Department has not approved
Codification, the ultimate impact cannot be determined at this time.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as
well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the
financial statements.  Management must also make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Future
events, including changes in the levels of mortality, morbidity, interest rates
and asset valuations, could cause actual results to differ from the estimates
used in these financial statements.

In the Company's opinion these financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly its
statutory financial position in accordance with statutory accounting principles,
as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations,
changes in shareholder's equity, and its cash flows for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain prior period amounts have been
restated to conform to current presentation.  These financial statements have
been prepared under the presumption that users of the interim financial
information have either read or have access to C.M. Life's audited statutory
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998.  Accordingly,
footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
disclosures contained in C.M. Life's December 31, 1998, audited statutory
financial statements, have been omitted from these interim financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with statutory accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to instructions, rules and regulations. These
unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited statutory financial statements and notes thereto, included in C.M.
Life's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 1998.


2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- ------------------------------

MassMutual and the Company have an agreement whereby MassMutual, for a fee,
furnishes the Company, as required, operating facilities, human resources,
computer software development and managerial services.  Also, investment and
administrative services are provided to the Company pursuant to a management
services agreement with MassMutual.  Fees incurred under the terms of these
agreements were $16.9 million and $13.3 million for the three month periods
ending March 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.

The Company cedes a portion of its life insurance business to MassMutual and
other insurers in the normal course of business.  The Company has a modified
coinsurance quota-share reinsurance agreement with MassMutual whereby the
Company cedes 75% of the premiums on certain universal life policies.  In
return, MassMutual pays the Company a stipulated expense allowance, death and
surrender benefits, and a modified coinsurance adjustment based upon experience.
The Company retains the assets and related reserves for the payment of future
benefits on ceded policies. In addition to the coinsurance agreement, the
Company also has a stop-loss agreement with MassMutual under which the Company
cedes claims that, in aggregate, exceed 18% of the covered volume for any year,
with maximum coverage of $25.0 million above the aggregate limit.  The Company
paid approximately $0.3 million in premiums to MassMutual under the agreement in
each of the three month periods ending March 31, 1999 and 1998.


3.  SEGMENT INFORMATION
- -----------------------

C.M. Life's operations consist of one business segment, which principally sells
universal life insurance, variable life insurance and annuity products.  C.M.
Life is not dependent upon any single customer and no single customer accounted
for more than 10% of revenues for the three month periods ended March 31, 1999
and 1998.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("the ACT") provides a
"Safe harbor" for forward-looking statements which are identified as such and
are accompanied by the identification of important factors which could cause a
material difference from the forward-looking statements. Certain information
contained in this discussion is or may be considered as forward-looking.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1999
- -----------------------------------------
Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998
- -------------------------------------------------

For the three months ended March 31, 1999, C.M. Life had net income of $5.6
million, as compared with  net income of $6.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998.  The decrease of $0.8 million, or 13%, was primarily
attributable to increases in benefits and expenses and federal income taxes
partially offset by increased premium income.

Premium income, net of reinsurance ceded, increased $13.6 million, or 16%, to
$99.5 million in 1999 from $85.9 million in 1998.  The 16% growth in premiums,
net of reinsurance, is attributable to increased sales of universal and other
life insurance products of 25% and a 10% increase in sales of variable annuity
products over the same period of the prior year.  C.M. Life's business mix is
changing, such that universal and other life insurance product premiums are
increasing at a faster rate than annuity products.  Universal and other life
insurance products comprised 41% of total premium income during the first
quarter of 1999 compared to 38% in 1998, while annuity products were 59% in 1999
compared to 62% in 1998.

The following table sets forth premium and other information for C.M. Life's
products:

PART I - ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

Net investment income increased $1.2 million, or 6%, to $19.7 million in 1999
from $18.5 million in 1998. This increase reflects growth in invested assets of
8%, partially offset by a 10 basis point decrease in portfolio yields.
Fluctuations in market conditions will impact future investment results.

The components of net investment income are set forth below:

</TABLE>

The annualized yield on total investments before indirect expenses was 7.2% and
7.3% for the periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. After
expenses, net annualized yields were 7.0% and 7.1%, for the periods ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The annualized yield on each investment
category, before federal income taxes, is calculated as: (a) two times gross
investment income divided by (b) the sum of assets at the beginning of the year
and assets at the end of the period, less gross investment income, (c)
multiplied by four.

Fees and other income increased $1.2 million, or 200%, to $1.8 million in 1999
from $0.6 million in 1998, primarily due to larger allowances for commissions
and expenses on reinsurance ceded.

Policyholders' benefits and payments increased $37.7 million, or 114%, to $70.7
million in 1999 from $33.0 million in 1998. Surrender benefits on annuity
products increased $35.8 million, the majority of which were withdrawals from
the separate accounts. It is not known if this higher level of surrenders will
continue.

Addition to policyholders' reserves and funds decreased $26.5 million, or 78%,
to $7.6 million in 1999 from $34.1 million in 1998. Addition to policyholders'
reserves and funds includes transfers to and from the separate account based
upon policyholder elections. The $26.5 million decrease is primarily due to a
$37.0 million growth in separate account withdrawals partially offset by higher
separate account deposits. Separate account withdrawals include the annuity
surrenders discussed above. In addition, general account reserves increased,
primarily due to a $6.6 million increase in the growth in annuity reserves and a
$4.3 million increase in the growth in life reserves.

Operating expenses, commissions and state taxes, licenses and fees, increased
$4.6 million, or 18%, to $30.6 million in 1999 from $26.0 million in 1998. The
increase is attributable to higher commissions associated with the volume and
mix of new business and increased management fees charged by MassMutual, which
included increases in agency allowances associated with business growth. The
growth in these expenses is consistent with the premium growth experienced by
the Company.

Federal income tax expense increased $1.0 million, or 18%, to $6.5 million in
1999 from $5.5 million in 1998. Taxable income increased to $18.7 million in
1999 from $15.6 million in 1998. The increase in taxable income is primarily
attributable to the timing of the tax deductibility of acquisition costs.

The Company had no realized capital gains (losses), after the transfer to the
Interest Maintenance Reserve ("IMR"), which captures after tax realized capital
gains and losses due to changes in interest rates for all types of fixed income
investments.

PART I - ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
- -------------------------------

Assets
- ------

Total assets at March 31, 1999, increased to $2,532.2 million, from $2,530.9
million at December 31, 1998. Invested assets in C.M. Life's general account
portfolio at March 31, 1999, increased by $15.6 million, or 1%, to $1,157.3
million from $1,141.7 million at December 31, 1998, due to in-force business
growth. The portfolio of invested assets is managed to support product
liabilities in light of yield, liquidity and diversification considerations. The
general investment account portfolio does not include C.M. Life's separate
account assets.

Bonds at March 31, 1999, were $674.7 million, representing a decrease of $8.3
million, or 1%, from $683.0 million at December 31, 1998. This decrease was the
result of a switch in investing activity to increased investment in cash and
derivative instruments as discussed below. During the quarter ending March 31,
1999, $75.0 million of bonds were purchased while maturities and sale proceeds
totaled $84.4 million.

Mortgage loans at March 31, 1999, were $132.9 million, representing an increase
of $6.6 million, or 5%, from $126.3 million at December 31, 1998, due to
increased funds available for investment as a result of C.M. Life's expanding
business. During the quarter ending March 31, 1999, $9.6 million of mortgages
were issued while repayments totaled $2.9 million.

Other investments, consisting of financial options, interest rate caps and
floors, preferred stocks, affiliated common stocks and receivable for securities
sold were $79.2 million at March 31, 1999, representing an increase of $2.9
million, or 4%, from $76.3 million at December 31, 1998. This increase is due to
a $2.9 million receivable for securities sold, as compared to zero at December
31, 1998.

Cash and short-term investments at March 31, 1999, were $123.9 million,
representing a increase of $18.2 million, or 17%, from $105.7 million at
December 31, 1998, as a result of increased funds available for investment
provided by operating activities. The Company has increased its investment in a
combination of cash and derivatives as a result of favorable market conditions
in these investments as compared to other investment alternatives.


Liabilities
- -----------

Total liabilities at March 31, 1999, decreased slightly to $2,385.8 million from
$2,389.9 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease was caused by a reduction in
separate account liabilities due to increased surrenders, as previously
discussed, partially offset by an increase in policyholders' reserves and funds.

Policyholders' reserves and funds at March 31, 1999 were $1,010.8 million,
representing an increase of $14.5 million, or 2%, from $996.3 million at
December 31, 1998. The increase, primarily attributable to growth from interest
credited and new sales, was partially offset by transfers to separate accounts
and withdrawals.


Shareholder's Equity
- --------------------

Shareholder's equity was $146.4 million at March 31, 1999, an increase of $5.4
million, or 4%, from $141.0 million at December 31, 1998. This increase was
primarily composed of net income of $5.6 million.

PART I - ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Liquidity
- ---------

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $13.9 million, or 232%, to
$19.9 million in 1999 from $6.0 million in 1998. We attribute this increase
primarily to increased deposits to the general account. More specifically, this
increase in the general account cash flows is due to additional net general
account deposits, investment income, and fees from separate accounts, partially
offset by increased general expenses and commissions.

Loans and purchases of investments decreased $142.9 million, or 64%, to $81.8
million in 1999 from $224.7 million in 1998. Sales and maturities of investments
and receipts from repayments of loans decreased $102.6 million, or 56%, to $80.1
million in 1999 from $182.7 million in 1998. We attribute these decreases
primarily to lower purchases and sales of bonds due to changes in market
conditions.


Capital Resources
- -----------------

C.M. Life's total adjusted capital as defined by the NAIC was $168.7 million at
March 31, 1999. C.M. Life's total adjusted capital was well in excess of all RBC
standards at March 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998.
