SUMMARY OF BENEFITS AND RISKS
BENEFITS OF YOUR POLICY
FLEXIBILITY -- The policy is designed to be flexible to meet your specific life
insurance needs. You have the flexibility to choose death benefit options,
investment options, and premiums you pay.
DEATH BENEFIT -- While the policy is in force and when the insured dies, we pay
a death benefit to your beneficiary. You select one of three death benefit
options:
- Level Option: The death benefit equals the current Face Amount.
- Return of Account Value Option: The death benefit is the current Face Amount
plus the Account Value of your policy.
- Return of Premium Option: The death benefit is the current Face Amount plus
the sum of premiums paid. However, it will be no more than the current Face
Amount plus the Option C limit, which is currently $2.5 million.
The death benefit is reduced by any money you owe us, such as outstanding loans,
loan interest, or unpaid charges. You may change your death benefit option under
certain circumstances. You may increase or decrease the Face Amount on your
policy under certain circumstances.
INVESTMENT CHOICES -- You may invest in up to 9 different investment choices
within your policy, from a choice of 36 investment options and a Fixed Account.
You may transfer money among your investment choices, subject to restrictions.
PREMIUM PAYMENTS -- You have the flexibility to choose how you pay premiums. You
can choose a planned premium when you purchase the policy. You may change your
planned premium, subject to certain limitations.
RIGHT TO EXAMINE YOUR POLICY -- You have a limited right to return the policy
for cancellation after purchase. See "Your Policy -- Contract Rights -- Right to
Examine a Policy."
SURRENDER -- You may surrender your policy at any time prior to the maturity
date for its Cash Surrender Value. (See "Risks of Your Policy," below).
LOANS -- You may take a loan on the policy. The policy secures the loan.
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS -- You or your beneficiary may choose to receive the proceeds
of the policy over a period of time by using one of several settlement options.
OPTIONAL COVERAGE -- You may add other coverages to your policy. See "Your
Policy -- Other Benefits."
WHAT DOES YOUR PREMIUM PAY FOR?
Your premium pays for three things. It pays for life insurance coverage, it acts
as an investment in the Sub-Accounts, and it pays for sales loads and other
charges.
RISKS OF YOUR POLICY
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE -- The value of your policy will fluctuate with the
performance of the investment options you choose. Your investment options may
decline in value, or they may not perform to your expectations. Your policy
values in the Sub-Accounts are not guaranteed.
UNSUITABLE FOR SHORT-TERM SAVINGS -- The policy is designed for long term
financial planning. You should not purchase the policy if you will need the
premium payment in a short time period.
RISK OF LAPSE -- Your policy could terminate if the value of the policy becomes
too low to support the policy's monthly charges. If this occurs, we will notify
you in writing. You will then have a 61-day grace period to pay additional
amounts to prevent the policy from terminating.
WITHDRAWAL LIMITATIONS -- One partial withdrawal is allowed each month. The
minimum allowed is $500, and the maximum allowed is the Cash Surrender Value
minus $1,000. Withdrawals will reduce your policy's death benefit, and may be
subject to a surrender charge.
TRANSFER LIMITATIONS -- We reserve the right to limit the size of transfers and
remaining balances, and to limit the number and frequency of transfers among
your investment options and the Fixed Account.
LOANS -- Taking a loan from your policy may increase the risk that your policy
will lapse, will have a permanent effect on the policy's Account Value, and will
reduce the death proceeds.
ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES -- You may be subject to income tax if you receive any
loans, withdrawals or other amounts from the policy, and you may be subject to a
10% penalty tax. See "Taxes."

These ratings apply to Hartford's ability to meet its obligations under the
Contract. The ratings do not apply to the Separate Accont or the underlying
Funds.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL I
The Sub-Accounts are subdivisions of our separate account, called Separate
Account VL I. The Separate Account exists to keep your life insurance policy
assets separate from our company assets. As such, the investment performance of
the Separate Account is independent from the investment performance of
Hartford's other assets. Hartford's other assets are utilized to pay your
insurance obligations under the policy. Your assets in the Separate Account are
held exclusively for your benefit and may not be used for any other liability of
Hartford. Separate Account VL I was established on September 18, 1992 under the
laws of Connecticut.
THE FUNDS
The Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account purchase shares of mutual funds set up
exclusively for variable annuity and variable life insurance products. These
funds are not the same mutual funds that you buy through your stockbroker or
through a retail mutual fund, but they may have similar investment strategies
and the same portfolio managers as retail mutual funds. You choose the
Sub-Accounts that meet your investment style.
We do not guarantee the investment results of any of the underlying Funds. Since
each underlying Fund has different investment objectives, each is subject to
different risks. These risks and the Funds' expenses are more fully described in
the accompanying prospectuses for the Funds, and the Funds' Statements of
Additional Information, which may be ordered from us. The Funds' prospectuses
should be read in conjunction with this Prospectus before investing.
The Funds may not be available in all states.
You may also allocate some or all of your premium payments to the "Fixed
Account," which pays a declared interest rate. See "The Fixed Account."

International funds have increased economic and political risks as they are
exposed to events and factors in the various world markets. These risks may be
greater for funds that invest in emerging markets.
INVESTMENT ADVISERS -- Hartford HLS Funds are sponsored and administered by
Hartford Life Insurance Company. HL Investment Advisors, LLC ("HL Advisors")
serves as the investment adviser to each of the Hartford HLS Funds. Wellington
Management Company, LLP ("Wellington Management") and Hartford Investment
Management Company ("HIMCO") serve as sub-investment advisors and provide day to
day investment services.
Each Hartford HLS Fund, except for Hartford Growth and Income HLS Fund, is a
separate Maryland corporation registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an open-end management investment company. Hartford Growth and
Income HLS Fund is a diversified series of Hartford Series Fund, Inc., a
Maryland corporation, also registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an open-end management investment company. The shares of each Fund
have been divided into Class IA and Class IB. Only Class IA shares are available
in this policy.
Putnam Investment Management, Inc. ("Putnam Management") serves as the
investment manager for the Putnam Variable Trust. Putnam Management is
ultimately controlled by Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., a publicly owned
holding company whose principal businesses are international insurance brokerage
and employee benefit consulting.
The Funds of the Putnam Variable Trust are generally managed in styles similar
to other open-end investment companies which are managed by Putnam Management
and whose shares are generally offered to the public. These other Putnam funds
may, however, employ different investment practices and may invest in securities
different from those in which their counterpart Funds invest, and consequently
will not have identical portfolios or experience identical investment results.
Subject to the general oversight of the Trustees of Putnam Variable Trust,
Putnam Management manages the Funds' portfolios in accordance with their stated
investment objectives and policies, makes investment decisions for the Funds,
places orders to purchase and sell securities on behalf of the Funds, and
administers the affairs of the Funds. For its services, the Funds pay Putnam
Management a quarterly fee. See the accompanying Funds prospectus for a more
complete description of Putnam Management and the respective fees of the Funds.
Fidelity Management & Research Company is the investment adviser for the
Fidelity VIP Funds.
MIXED AND SHARED FUNDING -- Shares of the Funds may be sold to our other
separate accounts and our insurance company affiliates or other unaffiliated
insurance companies to serve as the underlying investment for both variable
annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, a practice known as
"mixed and shared funding." As a result, there is a possibility that a material
conflict may arise between the interests of policy owners, and of owners of
other contracts whose contract values are allocated to one or more of these
other separate accounts investing in any one of the Funds. In the event of any
such material conflicts, we will consider what action may be appropriate,
including removing the Fund from the Separate Account or replacing the Fund with
another underlying fund. There are certain risks associated with mixed and
shared funding, as disclosed in the prospectuses for the Funds.
VOTING RIGHTS -- For Sub-Accounts in which you have invested, we will notify you
of shareholder's meetings of the Funds purchased by those Sub-Accounts. We will
send you proxy materials and instructions for you to vote the shares held for
your benefit by those Sub-Accounts. We will arrange for the handling and
tallying of proxies received from you or other policy owners. If you give no
instructions, we will vote those shares in the same proportion as shares for
which we received instructions.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES -- Hartford has entered into agreements with the
investment advisers or distributors of many of the Funds. Under the terms of
these agreements, Hartford provides administrative services and the Funds pay a
fee to Hartford that is usually based on an annual percentage of the average
daily net assets of the Funds. These agreements may be different for each Fund
or each Fund family.
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
You may allocate amounts to the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is not a part
of the Separate Account, but is a part of our general assets. As such, the Fixed
Account (and this description of the Fixed Account) is not subject to the same
securities laws as the Separate Account.
The Fixed Account credits at least 3.5% per year. We are not obligated to, but
may, credit more than 3.5% per year. If we do, such rates are determined at our
sole discretion. You assume the risk that, at any time, the Fixed Account may
credit no more than 3.5%.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUM
Before your premium is allocated to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Fixed Account,
we deduct a percentage from your premium for a sales load and a tax charge. The
amount allocated after the deductions is called your Net Premium.
FRONT-END SALES LOAD -- We deduct a front-end sales load from each premium you
pay. The current sales load is 4%. The maximum sales load is 6%.
TAX CHARGE -- We deduct a tax charge from each premium you pay. The tax charge
covers taxes assessed against us by a
<PAGE>
12 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
state and/or other governmental entity. The range of such charge generally is
between 0% and 4%.
DEDUCTIONS FROM ACCOUNT VALUE
MONTHLY DEDUCTION AMOUNTS -- Each month we will deduct an amount from your
Account Value to pay for the benefits provided by your policy. This amount is
called the Monthly Deduction Amount and equals the sum of:
- the charge for the cost of insurance;
- the monthly administrative charge;
- the mortality and expense risk charge;
- any Face Amount increase fee;
- the charges for additional benefits provided by rider, if any.
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE -- The charge for the cost of insurance equals:
- the cost of insurance rate per $1,000, multiplied by
- the amount at risk, divided by
- $1,000.
On any Monthly Activity Date, the amount at risk equals the Death Benefit less
the Account Value on that date, prior to assessing the Monthly Deduction Amount.
Cost of insurance rates will be determined on each policy anniversary based on
our future expectations of such factors as mortality, expenses, interest,
persistency and taxes. The cost of insurance rates will not exceed those based
on the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (ALB), Male or
Female, Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last birthday (unisex rates may be
required in some states). A table of guaranteed cost of insurance rates per
$1,000 will be included in your policy, however, we reserve the right to use
rates less than those shown in the table. The maximum rates that can be charged
are shown on the Policy Specification pages in your contract. Substandard risks
will be charged higher cost of insurance rates that will not exceed rates based
on a multiple of 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (ALB),
Male or Female, Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last birthday (unisex rates may
be required in some states) plus any flat extra amount assessed. The multiple
will be based on the insured's substandard rating.
Any changes in the cost of insurance rates will be made uniformly for all
insureds of the same issue ages, sexes, risk classes and whose coverage has been
in-force for the same length of time. No change in insurance class or cost will
occur on account of deterioration of the insured's health.
Because your Account Value and death benefit may vary from month to month, the
cost of insurance may also vary on each Monthly Activity Date. The cost of
insurance depends on your policy's amount at risk. Items which may affect the
amount at risk include the amount and timing of premium payments, investment
performance, fees and charges assessed, rider charges, policy loans and changes
to the Face Amount.
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE -- We deduct a monthly administrative charge from
your Account Value to compensate us for issue and administrative costs of the
policy. The current and maximum monthly administrative charge is $7.50 for
initial Face Amounts of $100,000 and above. The current and maximum charge for
initial Face Amounts below $100,000 is $10 per month.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE -- We deduct a mortality and expense risk
charge each month from your Account Value. There are two components to the
mortality and expense risk charge. Part of the charge is assessed according to
your Account Value attributable to the Sub-Accounts, and the other part is
assessed based on the initial Face Amount of your policy. The mortality and
expense risk charge each month is equal to the sum of (a) and (b) where
(a) equals:
- the monthly accumulated value mortality and expense risk rate; multiplied by
- the sum of your accumulated values in the Sub-Accounts on the Monthly Activity
Date, prior to assessing the Monthly Deduction Amount.
and
(b) equals:
- the monthly mortality and expense risk rate per $1,000; multiplied by
- the initial Face Amount; divided by
- $1,000.
During the first 10 years, the current and maximum accumulated value mortality
and expense risk rate is 1/12 of 0.75% per month. Thereafter, the current and
maximum rate is 1/12 of 0.40% per month.
During the first 10 years, the Face Amount mortality and expense risk rate per
$1,000 of initial Face Amount is individualized based on the Insured's initial
Face Amount, issue age, sex, and insurance class. The charge is on the Policy
Specification pages of the contract. Thereafter, there is no charge.
The mortality and expense risk charge compensates us for mortality and expense
risks assumed under the policies. The mortality risk assumed is that the cost of
insurance charges are insufficient to meet actual claims. The expense risk
assumed is that the expense incurred in issuing, distributing and administering
the policies exceed the administrative charges and sales loads collected.
Hartford may keep any difference between the cost it incurs and the charges it
collects.
FACE AMOUNT INCREASE FEE -- We deduct a dollar amount from your Account Value
for an unscheduled increase of the Face Amount on your policy. We deduct the fee
each month for twelve months after the increase. The fee is a per $1,000 amount
that varies by the attained age of the Insured. The monthly
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
increase per 1,000 is on the Policy Specification pages of the contract.
RIDER CHARGE -- If your policy includes riders, a charge applicable to the
riders is made from the Account Value each month. The charge applicable to these
riders is to compensate Hartford for the anticipated cost of providing these
benefits and is specified on the applicable rider. The maximum charge for any
rider chosen is shown on the Policy Specification pages of the contract. For a
description of the riders available, see "Your Policy -- Supplemental Benefits."
SURRENDER CHARGE -- During the first 9 policy years, surrender charges will be
deducted from your Account Value if:
- you surrender your policy;
- you decrease the Face Amount to an amount lower than it has ever been; or
- you take a withdrawal that causes the Face Amount to fall below the lowest
previous Face Amount.
The amount of surrender charge is individualized based on the Insured's age,
sex, and insurance class on the date of issue. The surrender charges by policy
year are on the Policy Specification pages of the contract. The charge
compensates us for expenses incurred in issuing the policy and the recovery of
acquisition costs. Hartford may keep any difference between the cost it incurs
and the charges it collects. For partial surrender charges applicable to a
decrease in the Face Amount or withdrawal, see "Unscheduled Increases and
Decreases in the Face Amount."
CHARGES FOR THE FUNDS
The investment performance of each Fund reflects the management fee that the
Fund pays to its investment manager as well as other operating expenses that the
Fund incurs. Investment management fees are generally daily fees computed as a
percentage of a Fund's average daily net assets as an annual rate. Please read
the prospectus for each Fund for complete details.
YOUR POLICY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT RIGHTS
POLICY OWNER, OR "YOU" -- As long as your policy is in force, you may exercise
all rights under the policy while the insured is alive and no beneficiary has
been irrevocably named.
BENEFICIARY -- You name the beneficiary in your application for the policy. You
may change the beneficiary (unless irrevocably named) while the insured is alive
by notifying us in writing. If no beneficiary is living when the insured dies,
the death benefit will be paid to you, if living; otherwise, it will be paid to
your estate.
ASSIGNMENT -- You may assign your policy. Until you notify us in writing, no
assignment will be effective against us. We are not responsible for the validity
of any assignment.
STATEMENTS -- We will send you a statement at least once each year, showing:
- the current Account Value, Cash Surrender Value and Face Amount;
- the premiums paid, monthly deduction amounts and any loans since your last
statement;
- the amount of any Indebtedness;
- any notifications required by the provisions of your policy; and
- any other information required by the Insurance Department of the state where
your policy was delivered.
RIGHT TO EXAMINE A POLICY -- You have a limited right to return your policy for
cancellation. You may deliver or mail the policy to us or to the agent from whom
it was purchased any time during your "free look" period. Your "free look"
period begins on the day you get your policy and ends ten days after you get it
(or longer in some states). In such event, the policy will be rescinded and we
will pay an amount equal to the greater of the premiums paid for the policy less
any Indebtedness or the sum of: the Account Value less any Indebtedness, on the
date the returned policy is received by us or the agent from whom it was
purchased; and, any deductions under the policy or charges associated with the
Separate Account. If your policy is replacing another policy, your "free look"
period and the amount paid to you upon the return of your policy vary by state.
CONTRACT LIMITATIONS
ALLOCATIONS TO SUB-ACCOUNTS AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT -- You may allocate amounts to
a maximum of nine (9) Sub-Accounts, or eight (8) Sub-Accounts and the Fixed
Account.
TRANSFERS OF ACCOUNT VALUE -- You may transfer amounts among the Fixed Account
and the Sub-Accounts subject to a charge described below. You may request
transfers in writing or by calling us at 1-800-231-5453. Transfers by telephone
may also be made by your agent of record or by your attorney-in-fact pursuant to
a power of attorney. Telephone transfers may not be permitted in some states. We
will not be responsible for losses that result from acting upon telephone
requests reasonably believed to be genuine. We will employ reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. The
procedures we follow for transactions initiated by telephone include requiring
callers to provide certain identifying information. All transfer instructions
communicated to us by telephone are tape recorded.
You may make one transfer per calendar month free of charge, excluding any
transfers made pursuant to your enrollment in the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.
Each subsequent transfer in excess of one per calendar month will be subject to
a transfer charge of up to $25. We reserve the right to limit at a future date
<PAGE>
14 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the size of transfers and remaining balances and to limit the number and
frequency of transfers.
TRANSFERS FROM THE FIXED ACCOUNT -- Except for transfers made under the Dollar
Cost Averaging Program, any transfers from the Fixed Account must occur during
the 30-day period following each policy anniversary, and, the maximum amount
transferred in any Policy Year will be the greater of $1,000 or 25% of the
Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account on the date of the transfer.
DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS -- We may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Values,
withdrawals and loan amounts which are not attributable to the Sub-Accounts for
up to six months from the date of the request. If we defer payment for more than
30 days, we will pay you interest.
CHANGES TO CONTRACT OR SEPARATE ACCOUNT
MODIFICATION OF POLICY -- The only way the policy may be modified is by a
written agreement signed by our President, or one of our Vice Presidents,
Secretaries, or Assistant Secretaries.
SUBSTITUTION OF FUNDS -- We reserve the right to substitute the shares of any
other registered investment company for the shares of any Fund already purchased
or to be purchased in the future by the Separate Account provided that the
substitution has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CHANGE IN OPERATION OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT -- The operation of the Separate
Account may be modified to the extent permitted by law, including deregistration
under the securities laws.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT TAXES -- Currently, no charge is made to the Separate Account
for federal, state and local taxes that may be allocable to the Separate
Account. A change in the applicable federal, state or local tax laws which
impose tax on Hartford and/ or the Separate Account may result in a charge
against the policy in the future. Charges for other taxes, if any, allocable to
the Separate Account may also be made.
OTHER BENEFITS
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM -- You may elect to allocate your Net Premiums
among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account pursuant to the Dollar Cost
Averaging (DCA) program. If you choose the DCA program, your Net Premiums will
be deposited into the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund Sub-Account or the Fixed
Account. Amounts will be transferred monthly to the other investment choices in
accordance with your premium allocation instructions. The dollar amount will be
allocated to the investment choices that you specify, in the proportions that
you specify. If, on any transfer date, your Account Value allocated to the
Dollar Cost Averaging program is less than the amount you have elected to
transfer, your DCA program will terminate.
You may cancel your DCA election by notice in writing or by calling us at
1-800-231-5453. We reserve the right to change or discontinue the DCA program.
The main objective of a DCA program is to minimize the impact of short-term
price fluctuations. The DCA program allows you to take advantage of market
fluctuations. Since the same dollar amount is transferred to your selected
investment choices at set intervals, the DCA program allows you to purchase more
accumulation units when prices are low and fewer accumulation units when prices
are high. Therefore, a lower average cost per accumulation unit may be achieved
over the long term. However, it is important to understand that the DCA program
does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS -- The following supplemental benefits are among the
options that may be included in a policy by rider, subject to the restrictions
and limitations set forth in the rider.
- TERM LIFE RIDER -- While the rider is in force, we will pay the term life
insurance amount upon receipt of due proof of death of the designated insured,
subject to the conditions stated in the rider.
- DEDUCTION AMOUNT WAIVER RIDER -- We will waive the Monthly Deduction Amount in
the event of total disability prior to the insured reaching age 65 and
continuing for at least six months. If the Deduction Amount Waiver Rider is
added to your policy, the Monthly Deduction Amounts will be increased to
include the charges for the rider.
- WAIVER OF SPECIFIED AMOUNT DISABILITY BENEFIT RIDER -- If the insured becomes
totally disabled, we will credit the policy with an amount equal to the
Specified Amount Disability Benefit as defined in your policy, for as long as
the insured remains totally disabled.
- ACCIDENTAL DEATH BENEFIT RIDER -- We will increase in the amount paid upon the
death of the insured if the death results from an accident.
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS -- Proceeds under your policy may be paid in a lump sum or
may be applied to one of our four settlement options. The minimum amount that
may be placed under a settlement option is $5,000 (unless we consent to a lesser
amount), subject to our then-current rules. Once payments under the Second
Option, the Third Option or the Fourth Option begin, no surrender may be made
for a lump sum settlement in lieu of the life insurance payments. The following
payment options are available to you or your beneficiary. If a payment option is
not selected, proceeds will be paid in a lump sum. Your beneficiary may choose a
settlement option.
FIRST OPTION -- Interest Income
Payments of interest at the rate we declare (but not less than 3% per year) on
the amount applied under this option.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECOND OPTION -- Income of Fixed Amount
Equal payments of the amount chosen until the amount applied under this option
(with interest of not less than 3% per year) is exhausted. The final payment
will be for the balance remaining.
THIRD OPTION -- Payments for a Fixed Period
An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected, which may be from
one to 30 years.
FOURTH OPTION -- Life Income
- LIFE ANNUITY -- An annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
annuitant and terminating with the last monthly payment due preceding the
death of the annuitant.
- LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN -- An annuity providing monthly
income to the annuitant for a fixed period of 120 months and for as long
thereafter as the annuitant shall live.
The policy provides for guaranteed dollar amounts of monthly payments for each
$1,000 applied under the four payment options. Under the Fourth Option, the
amount of each payment will depend upon the age of the Annuitant at the time the
first payment is due. If any periodic payment due any payee is less than $200,
we may make payments less often.
The table for the Fourth Option is based on the 1983a Individual Annuity
Mortality Table, set back one year and with a net investment rate of 3% per
annum. The tables for the First, Second and Third Options are based on a net
investment rate of 3% per annum. We may, however, from time to time, at our
discretion if mortality appears more favorable and interest rates justify, apply
other tables which will result in higher monthly payments for each $1,000
applied under one or more of the four payment options.
Other arrangements for income payments may be agreed upon.
BENEFITS AT MATURITY -- The scheduled maturity date is the last date on which
you may elect to make premium payments. Unless you elect to continue the policy
beyond this date, the policy will terminate and any Cash Surrender Value will be
paid to you.
If elected, the policy may continue in force after the scheduled maturity date
if (a) the policy was in force on the scheduled maturity date; and (b) the owner
of the policy (including any assignee of record) agrees in writing to this
continuation.
At the scheduled maturity date:
- the death benefit will be reduced to the Account Value;
- the Account Value, if any, will continue to fluctuate with investment
performance;
- any loans will continue to accrue interest and become part of Indebtedness;
- no future Monthly Deduction Amounts will be deducted; and
- no further premium payments will be accepted.
All additional benefits provided by rider will deem to have terminated at the
scheduled maturity date.
Otherwise, the policy will terminate on the scheduled maturity date.
CLASS OF PURCHASERS
REDUCED CHARGES FOR ELIGIBLE GROUPS -- Certain charges and deductions described
above may be reduced for policies issued in connection with a specific plan, in
accordance with our rules in effect as of the date the application for a policy
is approved. To qualify for such a reduction, a plan must satisfy certain
criteria, i.e., as to size of the plan, expected number of participants and
anticipated premium payment from the plan. Generally, the sales contacts and
effort, administrative costs and mortality cost per policy vary, based on such
factors as the size of the plan, the purposes for which policies are purchased
and certain characteristics of the plan's members. The amount of reduction and
the criteria for qualification will be reflected in the reduced sales effort and
administrative costs resulting from, and the different mortality experience
expected as a result of, sales to qualifying plans. We may modify, from time to
time on a uniform basis, both the amounts of reductions and the criteria for
qualification. Reductions in these charges will not be unfairly discriminatory
against any person, including the affected policy owners invested in the
Separate Account.
PREMIUMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPLICATION FOR A POLICY -- To purchase a policy you must submit an application
to us. Within limits, you may choose the initial Face Amount. Policies generally
will be issued only on the lives of insureds age 85 and under who supply
evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Acceptance is subject to our
underwriting rules and we reserve the right to reject an application for any
reason. No change in the terms or conditions of a policy will be made without
your consent. The minimum initial premium is the amount required to keep the
policy in force for one month, but not less than $50.
Your policy will be effective on the policy date only after we receive all
outstanding delivery requirements and the initial premium payment. The policy
date is the date used to determine all future cyclical transactions on the
policy, such as Monthly Activity Date and policy years.
PREMIUM PAYMENT FLEXIBILITY -- You have flexibility as to when and in what
amounts you pay premiums. Prior to policy issue, you can choose a planned
premium, within a range we determined, based on the Face Amount and the
insured's sex
<PAGE>
16 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(except where unisex rates apply), issue age and risk classification. We will
send you premium notices for planned premium. Such notices may be sent on an
annual, semi-annual or quarterly basis. You may also have premium payments
automatically deducted monthly from your checking account. The planned premium
and payment mode you select are shown on your policy's specifications page. You
may change the planned premium at any time, subject to our minimum amount
rules then in effect.
After the first premium has been paid, your subsequent premium payments are
flexible. The actual amount and frequency of payment will affect the Account
Value and could affect the amount and duration of insurance provided by the
policy. Your policy may lapse if the value of your policy becomes insufficient
to cover the Monthly Deduction Amounts. In such case you may be required to pay
additional premiums in order to prevent the policy from terminating. For details
see, "Lapse and Reinstatement."
You may pay additional premiums at any time prior to the scheduled maturity
date, subject to the following limitations:
- The minimum premium that we will accept is $50 or the amount required to keep
the policy in force.
- We reserve the right to refund any excess premiums that would cause the policy
to fail to meet the definition of life insurance under the Internal Revenue
Code.
- We reserve the right to require evidence of insurability for any premium
payment that results in an increase in the death benefit greater than the
amount of the premium.
- Any premium payment in excess of $1,000,000 is subject to our approval.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS -- The initial Net Premium (and any additional
Net Premiums received by us before the end of the right to examine period) will
be allocated to the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund Sub-Account on the later of
the policy date or the date we receive the initial premium payment. We will then
allocate the value in the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund Sub-Account to the
Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts according to the premium allocation specified
in the policy application upon the expiration of the right to examine policy
period, or the date we receive the final requirement to put the policy in force,
whichever is later.
You may change your premium allocation upon request in writing. Subsequent Net
Premiums will be allocated to the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts according
to your most recent written instructions as long as the number of investment
choices you are allocated to does not exceed nine (9), and the percentage you
allocate to each Sub-Account and/or the Fixed Account is in whole percentages.
If we receive a premium payment with a premium allocation instruction that does
not comply with the above rules, we will allocate the Net Premium pro rata based
on the values of your existing investment choices.
You will receive several different types of notifications as to what your
current premium allocation is. Each transaction confirmation received after we
receive a premium payment will show how a Net Premium has been allocated.
Additionally, each quarterly statement summarizes the current premium allocation
in effect for such policy.
ACCUMULATION UNITS -- Net Premiums allocated to the Sub-Accounts are used to
credit accumulation units to such Sub-Accounts.
The number of accumulation units in each Sub-Account to be credited to a policy
(including the initial allocation to the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund
Sub-Account) and the amount to be credited to the Fixed Account will be
determined, first, by multiplying the Net Premium by the appropriate allocation
percentage in order to determine the portion of Net Premiums or transferred
Account Value to be invested in the Fixed Account or the Sub-Account. Each
portion of the Net Premium or transferred Account Value to be invested in a
Sub-Account is then divided by the accumulation unit value in a particular Sub-
Account next computed following its receipt. The resulting figure is the number
of accumulation units to be credited to each Sub-Account.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES -- The accumulation unit value for each Sub-Account
will vary to reflect the investment experience of the applicable Fund and will
be determined on each Valuation Day by multiplying the accumulation unit value
of the particular Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Day by the net
investment factor for that Sub-Account for the Valuation Period then ended. The
net investment factor for each of the Sub-Accounts is equal to the net asset
value per share of the corresponding Fund at the end of the Valuation Period
(plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions paid by
that Fund in the Valuation Period then ended) divided by the net asset value per
share of the corresponding Fund at the beginning of the Valuation Period.
All valuations in connection with a policy, (i.e., with respect to determining
Account Value, in connection with policy loans, or in calculation of death
benefits, or with respect to determining the number of accumulation units to be
credited to a policy with each premium payment other than the initial premium
payment) will be made on the date the request or payment is received by us at
the National Service Center, provided such date is a Valuation Day; otherwise
such determination will be made on the next succeeding date which is a Valuation
Day.
ACCOUNT VALUES -- Each policy will have an Account Value. There is no minimum
guaranteed Account Value.
The Account Value of a policy changes on a daily basis and will be computed on
each Valuation Day. The Account Value will vary to reflect the investment
experience of the Sub-Accounts, the interest credited to the Fixed Account and
the Loan Account, and the Monthly Deduction Amounts, Net Premiums paid, and any
withdrawals taken.
A policy's Account Value is related to the net asset value of the Funds
associated with the Sub-Accounts, if any, to which Net Premiums on the policy
have been allocated. The Account Value in the Sub-Accounts on any Valuation Day
is calculated by, first,

multiplying the number of accumulation units in each Sub-Account as of the
Valuation Day by the then current value of the accumulation units in that
Sub-Account and then totaling the result for all of the Sub-Accounts. A policy's
Account Value equals the policy's value in all of the Sub-Accounts, the Fixed
Account, and the Loan Account. A policy's Cash Value is equal to the Account
Value less any applicable surrender charges. A policy's Cash Surrender Value,
which is the net amount available upon surrender of the policy, is the Cash
Value less any Indebtedness. See "Accumulation Unit Values," above.
We will pay death proceeds, Cash Surrender Values, partial withdrawals, and loan
amounts allocable to the Sub-Accounts within seven days after we receive all the
information needed to process the payment, unless the New York Stock Exchange is
closed for other than a regular holiday or weekend, trading is restricted by the
Commission or the Commission declares that an emergency exists.
DEATH BENEFITS AND POLICY VALUES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT -- Your policy provides for the payment of the death proceeds to
the named beneficiary upon receipt of due proof of the death of the insured.
Your policy will be effective on the policy date only after we receive all
outstanding delivery requirements and the initial premium payment. You must
notify us in writing as soon as possible after the death of the insured. The
death proceeds payable to the beneficiary equal the death benefit less any
Indebtedness and less any due and unpaid Monthly Deduction Amount occurring
during a grace period. The death benefit depends on the death benefit option you
select.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS -- There are three death benefit options: the Level Death
Benefit Option ("Option A"), the Return of Account Value Death Benefit Option
("Option B") and the Return of Premium Death Benefit Option ("Option C").
Subject to the minimum death benefit described below, the death benefit under
each option is as follows:
- Under Option A, the current Face Amount.
- Under Option B, the current Face Amount plus the Account Value.
- Under Option C, the current Face Amount plus the sum of premiums paid.
However, it will be no more than the current Face Amount plus the Option C
limit, which is currently $2.5 million.
OPTION CHANGE -- You may change your death benefit option by notifying us in
writing. Any change will become effective on the Monthly Activity Date following
the date we receive your request. If you elect to change to Option A, the Face
Amount will become that amount available as a death benefit immediately prior to
such option change. If you elect to change to Option B, the Face Amount will
become the amount available as a death benefit immediately prior to such option
change, minus the then-current Account Value. Changing your death benefit option
may result in a Surrender Charge. You should consult a tax adviser regarding the
possible adverse tax consequences resulting from a change in your death benefit
option.
MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT -- Your policy has a minimum death benefit. We will
automatically increase the death benefit so that it will never be less than the
Account Value multiplied by the minimum death benefit percentage for the then
current year. This percentage varies according to the policy year and insured's
issue age, sex (where unisex rates are not used) and insurance class.
EXAMPLES OF MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT
<TABLE>

Specified Percentage 250% 250%
-----------------------------------------------------
Death Benefit Option Level Level
-----------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
In Example A, the death benefit equals $116,250, i.e., the greater of $100,000
(the Face Amount) or $116,250 (the Account Value at the date of death of
$46,500, multiplied by the specified percentage of 250%). This amount, less any
outstanding Indebtedness, constitutes the death proceeds payable to the
beneficiary.
In Example B, the death benefit is $100,000, i.e., the greater of $100,000 (the
Face Amount) or $85,000 (the Account Value of $34,000, multiplied by the
specified percentage of 250%).
UNSCHEDULED INCREASES AND DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT -- At any time after the
first policy year, you may request in writing to change the Face Amount. The
minimum amount by which the Face Amount can be increased or decreased is based
on our rules then in effect.
We reserve the right to limit the number of increases or decreases made under a
policy to no more than one in any 12 month period.
All requests to increase the Face Amount must be applied for on a new
application and accompanied by your policy. All requests will be subject to
evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Any increase approved by us will be
effective on the Monthly Activity Date shown on the new policy specifications
page, provided that the Monthly Deduction Amount for the first month after the
effective date of the increase is made. We deduct a dollar amount from your
Account Value for an unscheduled increase of the Face Amount of your policy. We
deduct the fee each month for twelve months after the increase. The fee is a per
$1,000 amount that varies by the attained age of the insured.
A decrease in the Face Amount will be effective on the Monthly Activity Date
following the date we receive your request in
<PAGE>
18 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
writing. The remaining Face Amount must not be less than that specified in our
minimum rules then in effect. If during the surrender charge period, you
decrease your Face Amount to an amount lower than it has ever been, a partial
surrender charge will be assessed.
The surrender charge assessed will be:
- the surrender charge applicable to the then current policy year, if any;
multiplied by
- the percentage described below.
The percentage will be determined by:
- subtracting the new Face Amount from the lowest previous Face Amount; and
- dividing that difference by the lowest previous Face Amount.
The surrender charge assessed will be deducted from your Account Value on the
Monthly Activity Date on which the decrease becomes effective. We will also
reduce the surrender charges applicable to future policy years and provide you a
revised schedule of surrender charges.
CHARGES AND POLICY VALUES -- Your policy values decrease due to the deduction of
policy charges. Policy values may increase or decrease depending on investment
performance. Investment expenses and fees reduce the investment performance of
the Sub-Accounts. Fluctuations in your account value may have an effect on your
death benefit. If your policy lapses, the policy terminates and no death benefit
will be paid.
MAKING WITHDRAWALS FROM YOUR POLICY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SURRENDER -- Provided your policy has a Cash Surrender Value, you may surrender
your policy to us. We will pay you the Cash Surrender Value. Our liability under
the policy will cease as of the date of your request for surrender, or the date
you request to have your policy surrendered, if later.
WITHDRAWALS -- One withdrawal is allowed per calendar month. Withdrawals may be
subject to a surrender charge, see "Surrender Charge." You may request a
withdrawal in writing. The minimum withdrawal allowed is $500. The maximum
partial withdrawal is the Cash Surrender Value, minus $1,000. If the death
benefit option then in effect is Option A or Option C, the Face Amount will be
reduced by the amount of any partial withdrawal. Unless specified, the
withdrawal will be deducted on a pro rata basis from the Fixed Account and the
Sub-Accounts. You may be assessed a charge of up to $10 for each partial
withdrawal.
LOANS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVAILABILITY OF LOANS -- At any time while the policy is in force, you may
borrow against the policy by assigning it as sole security to us. Any new loan
taken together with any existing Indebtedness may not exceed the Cash Surrender
Value on the date we grant a loan. The minimum loan amount that we will allow is
$500.
Unless you specify otherwise, all loan amounts will be transferred on a pro rata
basis from the Fixed Account and each of the Sub-Accounts to the Loan Account.
If total Indebtedness equals or exceeds the Cash Value on any Monthly Activity
Date, the policy will then go into default. See "Lapse and Reinstatement."
PREFERRED INDEBTEDNESS -- If, at any time after the tenth (10th) policy
anniversary, your Account Value exceeds the total of all premiums paid since
issue, a portion of your Indebtedness may qualify as preferred. Preferred
Indebtedness is charged a lower interest rate than non-preferred Indebtedness,
if any. The maximum amount of preferred Indebtedness is the amount by which the
Account Value exceeds the total premiums paid and is determined on each Monthly
Activity Date.
LOAN REPAYMENTS -- You can repay all or any part of a loan at any time while
your policy is in force and the insured is alive. The amount of your policy loan
repayment will be deducted from the Loan Account. It will be allocated among the
Fixed Account and Sub-Accounts in the same percentage as premiums are allocated.
EFFECT OF LOANS ON ACCOUNT VALUE -- A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a
permanent effect on your Account Value. This effect occurs because the
investment results of each Sub-Account will apply only to the amount remaining
in such Sub-Accounts. In addition, the rate of interest credited to the Fixed
Account will usually be different than the rate credited to the Loan Account.
The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect on your Account Value
is likely to be. Such effect could be favorable or unfavorable. If the Fixed
Account and the Sub-Accounts earn more than the annual interest rate for funds
held in the Loan Account, your Account Value will not increase as rapidly as it
would have had no loan been made. If the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts earn
less than the Loan Account, then your Account Value will be greater than it
would have been had no loan been made. Additionally, if not repaid, the
aggregate amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will reduce the death proceeds
and the Cash Surrender Value otherwise payable.
CREDITED INTEREST -- Any amounts in the Loan Account will be credited with
interest at an annual rate of 3.5%.
INTEREST CHARGED ON INDEBTEDNESS -- Interest will accrue daily on the
Indebtedness at the policy loan rate. Because the interest charged on
Indebtedness may exceed the rate credited
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 19
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to the Loan Account, the Indebtedness may grow faster than the Loan Account. If
this happens, any difference between the value of the Loan Account and the
Indebtedness will be transferred on each Monthly Activity Date from the Fixed
Account and Sub-Accounts to the Loan Account on a pro rata basis.
POLICY LOAN RATES -- The table below shows the interest rates we will charge on
your Indebtedness.

LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAPSE AND GRACE PERIOD -- During the first three policy years, your policy will
be in default on any Monthly Activity Date on which the Account Value less
Indebtedness is not sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction Amount.
During the fourth policy year and thereafter, your policy will be in default on
any Monthly Activity Date if the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover
the Monthly Deduction Amount.
A 61-day "Grace Period" will begin from the date of any policy default. Upon
default, we will mail you and any assignee written notice of the amount of
premium that will be required to continue the policy in force. The premium
required will be no greater than the amount required to pay three Monthly
Deduction Amounts as of the date the Policy Grace period began. If the No-Lapse
Guarantee is available and sufficient premium has not been paid by the end of
the Grace Period, the death benefit option will become level, any policy riders
will terminate and any future unscheduled increases are cancelled. If the
insured dies during the Grace Period, we will pay the death proceeds.
NO-LAPSE GUARANTEE DEFAULT AND GRACE PERIOD -- On every Monthly Activity Date
during the No-Lapse Guarantee period, we will compare the cumulative premium
payments received, less Indebtedness and less withdrawals, to the Cumulative
No-Lapse Guarantee Premium.
If the cumulative premium payments received, less Indebtedness and less
withdrawals, are less than the Cumulative No-Lapse Guarantee Premium, the
No-Lapse Guarantee will be deemed to be in default as of that Monthly Activity
Date and the No-Lapse Guarantee Grace Period will begin. We will mail you and
any assignee written notice of the amount of premium required to continue the
No-Lapse Guarantee.
The No-Lapse Guarantee will be removed from the policy at the end of the
No-Lapse Guarantee Grace Period if we have not received the amount of premium
required to continue such guarantee.
NO-LAPSE GUARANTEE -- The policy will remain in force at the end of the policy
Grace Period as long as the No-Lapse Guarantee is available, as described below.
The No-Lapse Guarantee is available as long as:
- the policy is in the No-Lapse Guarantee Period; and
- on each Monthly Activity Date during that period, the cumulative premiums paid
into the policy, less Indebtedness and less withdrawals from the policy, equal
or exceed an amount known as the Cumulative No-Lapse Guarantee Premium.
The length of the No-Lapse Guarantee Period is the lesser of 5 years and to age
80. The Cumulative No-Lapse Guarantee Premium is the premium required to
maintain the No-Lapse Guarantee.
If the No-Lapse Guarantee is available and you fail to pay the required premium
as defined in your lapse notice by the end of the policy grace period, the
No-Lapse Guarantee will then go into effect. The policy will remain in force,
however:
- all riders will terminate;
- the Death Benefit Option becomes Level;
- the Death Benefit will equal the current Face Amount; and
- Any future scheduled Increases in the Face Amount will be canceled.
As long as the policy remains in default and the No-Lapse Guarantee is
available, the No-Lapse Guarantee will remain in effect on each subsequent
Monthly Activity Dates. You may be required to make premium payments to keep the
No-Lapse Guarantee available, as described above.
If during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, the Face Amount is increased or
decreased, or riders are added or increased, deleted or reduced, a new monthly
No-Lapse Guarantee Premium will be calculated. We will send you a notice of the
new Monthly No-Lapse Guarantee Premium, which will be used in calculating the
Cumulative No-Lapse Guarantee Premium in subsequent months.
REINSTATEMENT -- Prior to the death of the insured, a policy may be reinstated
prior to the maturity date, provided such policy has not been surrendered for
cash, and provided further that:
- You request reinstatement in writing within five years after termination;
- You submit satisfactory evidence of insurability to us;
- any Indebtedness existing at the time the policy was terminated is repaid or
carried over to the reinstated policy; and
<PAGE>
20 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You pay a premium sufficient to cover (a) all Monthly Deduction Amounts that
are due and unpaid during the Grace Period and (b) the sum of Monthly
Deduction Amounts for the next three months after the date the policy is
reinstated.
The Account Value on the reinstatement date equals:
- the Cash Value at the time of policy termination; plus
- net Premiums derived from premiums paid at the time of policy reinstatement;
minus
- the Monthly Deduction Amounts that were due and unpaid during the Grace
Period; plus
- the Surrender Charge at the time of policy reinstatement. The Surrender Charge
is based on the duration from the original policy date.
TAXES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
Since federal tax law is complex, the tax consequences of purchasing this policy
will vary depending on your situation. You may need tax or legal advice to help
you determine whether purchasing this policy is right for you.
Our general discussion of the tax treatment of this policy is based on our
understanding of federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. A
detailed description of all federal income tax consequences regarding the
purchase of this policy cannot be made in the prospectus. We also do not discuss
state, municipal or other tax laws that may apply to this policy. For detailed
information, you should consult with a qualified tax adviser familiar with your
situation.
TAXATION OF HARTFORD AND THE
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is taxed as a part of Hartford which is taxed as a life
insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, the Separate Account will not be taxed as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income
and realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account (the underlying
Funds) are reinvested and are taken into account in determining the value of the
Accumulation Units. As a result, such investment income and realized capital
gains are automatically applied to increase reserves under the policy. (See
"Premiums -- Accumulation Unit Values").
Hartford does not expect to incur any federal income tax on the earnings or
realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon this
expectation, no charge is currently being made to the Separate Account for
federal income taxes. If Hartford incurs income taxes attributable to the
Separate Account or determines that such taxes will be incurred, it may assess a
charge for such taxes against the Separate Account.
INCOME TAXATION OF POLICY BENEFITS -- GENERALLY
For federal income tax purposes, the Policies should be treated as life
insurance contracts under Section 7702 of the Code. The death benefit under a
life insurance contract is generally excluded from the gross income of the
beneficiary. Also, a life insurance policy owner is generally not taxed on
increments in the policy value until the policy is partially or completely
surrendered. Section 7702 limits the amount of premiums that may be invested in
a policy that is treated as life insurance. Hartford intends to monitor premium
levels to assure compliance with the Section 7702 requirements.
Hartford also believes that any loan received under a policy will be treated as
Indebtedness of the policy owner, and that no part of any loan under a policy
will constitute income to the policy owner. A surrender or assignment of the
policy may have tax consequences depending upon the circumstances. Policy owners
should consult a qualified tax adviser concerning the effect of such changes.
During the first fifteen policy years, an "income first" rule generally applies
to distributions of cash required to be made under Code Section 7702 because of
a reduction in benefits under the policy.
The Maturity Date Extension Provision allows a policy owner to extend the
Maturity Date to the date of the death of the insured. If the Maturity Date of
the policy is extended, Hartford believes that the policy will continue to be
treated as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes after the
scheduled Maturity Date. However, due to the lack of specific guidance on this
issue, the result is not certain. If the policy is not treated as a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes after the scheduled Maturity
Date, among other things, the Death Proceeds may be taxable to the recipient.
The policy owner should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the possible
adverse tax consequences resulting from an extension of the scheduled Maturity
Date.
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
Code Section 7702A applies an additional test, the "seven-pay" test, to life
insurance contracts. The seven-pay test provides that premiums cannot be paid at
a rate more rapidly than that allowed by the payment of seven annual premiums
using specified computational rules described in Section 7702A(c). A modified
endowment contract ("MEC") is a life insurance policy that either:
(i) satisfies the Section 7702 definition of life insurance, but fails the
seven-pay test of Section 7702A or (ii) is exchanged for a MEC.
If the policy satisfies the seven-pay test at issuance, distributions and loans
made thereafter will not be subject to the MEC rules, unless the policy is
changed materially. The seven-pay test will be applied anew at any time the
policy undergoes a material change, which includes an increase in the Face
Amount. In addition, if there is a reduction in benefits under the policy within
the first seven years, the seven-pay test is applied as if the policy had
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 21
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
initially been issued at the reduced benefit level. Any reduction in benefits
attributable to the nonpayment of premiums will not be taken into account for
purposes of the seven-pay test if the benefits are reinstated within 90 days
after the reduction.
A policy that is classified as a MEC is eligible for certain aspects of the
beneficial tax treatment accorded to life insurance. That is, the death benefit
is excluded from income and increments in value are not subject to current
taxation. However, if the policy is classified as a MEC then withdrawals from
the contract will be considered first as withdrawals of income and then as a
recovery of premium payments. Thus, withdrawals will be includible in income to
the extent the contract value exceeds the investment in the contract. The amount
of any loan (including unpaid interest thereon) under the contract will be
treated as a withdrawal from the contract for tax purposes. In addition, if the
owner assigns or pledges any portion of the value of a contract (or agrees to
assign or pledge any portion), then such portion will be treated as a withdrawal
from the contract for tax purposes. Taxable withdrawals are subject to an
additional 10% tax, with certain exceptions. The owner's investment in the
contract is increased by the amount includible in income with respect to such
assignment, pledge, or loan, though it is not affected by any other aspect of
the assignment, pledge, or loan (including its release or repayment).
Generally, only distributions and loans made in the first year in which a policy
becomes a MEC, and in subsequent years, are taxable. However, distributions and
loans made in the two years prior to a policy's failing the seven-pay test are
deemed to be in anticipation of failure and are subject to tax.
Before assigning, pledging, or requesting a loan under a policy that is a MEC,
an owner should consult a qualified tax adviser.
All MEC policies that are issued within any calendar year to the same policy
owner by one company or its affiliates are treated as one MEC policy for the
purpose of determining the taxable portion of any loan or distribution.
Hartford has instituted procedures to monitor whether a policy may become
classified as a MEC after issue.
ESTATE AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TAXES
When the Insured dies, the death proceeds will generally be includible in the
policy owner's estate for purposes of federal estate tax if the Insured owned
the policy. If the policy owner was not the Insured, the fair market value of
the policy would be included in the policy owner's estate upon the policy
owner's death. The policy would not be includible in the Insured's estate if the
Insured neither retained incidents of ownership at death nor had given up
ownership within three years before death.
The federal estate tax is integrated with the federal gift tax under a unified
rate schedule and unified credit which shelters up to $675,000 (for 2000) from
the estate and gift tax. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 gradually raises the
credit over the next six years to $1,000,000. In addition, an unlimited marital
deduction may be available for federal estate and gift tax purposes. The
unlimited marital deduction permits the deferral of taxes until the death of the
surviving spouse.
If the policy owner (whether or not he or she is the Insured) transfers
ownership of the policy to someone two or more generations younger, the transfer
may be subject to the generation skipping transfer tax, the taxable amount being
the value of the policy. The generation-skipping transfer tax provisions
generally apply to transfers which would be subject to the gift and estate tax
rules. Individuals are generally allowed an aggregate generation skipping
transfer exemption of $1 million as adjusted for inflation. Because these rules
are complex, the policy owner should consult with a qualified tax adviser for
specific information if ownership is passing to younger generations.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
The Code requires that investments supporting your policy be adequately
diversified. Code Section 817 provides that a variable life insurance contract
will not be treated as a life insurance contract for any period during which the
investments made by the separate account or underlying fund are not adequately
diversified. If a contract is not treated as a life insurance contract, the
policy owner will be subject to income tax on annual increases in cash value.
The Treasury Department's diversification regulations require, among other
things, that:
- no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the segregated asset
account underlying a variable contract is represented by any one investment,
- no more than 70% is represented by any two investments,
- no more than 80% is represented by any three investments and
- no more than 90% is represented by any four investments.
In determining whether the diversification standards are met, all securities of
the same issuer, all interests in the same real property project, and all
interests in the same commodity are each treated as a single investment. In the
case of government securities, each government agency or instrumentality is
treated as a separate issuer.
A separate account must be in compliance with the diversification standards on
the last day of each calendar quarter or within 30 days after the quarter ends.
If an insurance company inadvertently fails to meet the diversification
requirements, the company may still comply within a reasonable period and avoid
the taxation of contract income on an ongoing basis. However, either the company
or the policy owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which
the diversification requirements were not met.
We monitor the diversification of investments in the separate accounts and test
for diversification as required by the Code. We intend to administer all
policies subject to the diversification requirements in a manner that will
maintain adequate diversification.
OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS IN THE
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
In order for a variable life insurance contract to qualify for tax deferral,
assets in the separate accounts supporting the contract must be considered to be
owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. It is unclear under
what circumstances an investor is considered to have enough control over the
assets
<PAGE>
22 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in the separate account to be considered the owner of the assets for tax
purposes.
The IRS has issued several rulings discussing investor control. These rulings
say that certain incidents of ownership by the policy owner, such as the ability
to select and control investments in a separate account, will cause the policy
owner to be treated as the owner of the assets for tax purposes.
In its explanation of the diversification regulations, the Treasury Department
recognized that the temporary regulations "do not provide guidance concerning
the circumstances in which investor control of the investments of a segregated
asset account may cause the investor, rather than the insurance company, to be
treated as the owner of the assets in the account." The explanation further
indicates that "the temporary regulations provide that in appropriate cases a
segregated asset account may include multiple sub-accounts, but do not specify
the extent to which policyholders may direct their investments to particular
sub-accounts without being treated as the owners of the underlying assets.
Guidance on this and other issues will be provided in regulations or revenue
rulings under Section 817(d), relating to the definition of variable contract."
The final regulations issued under Section 817 did not provide guidance
regarding investor control, and as of the date of this prospectus, guidance has
yet to be issued. We do not know if additional guidance will be issued. If
guidance is issued, we do not know if it will have a retroactive effect.
Due to the lack of specific guidance on investor control, there is some
uncertainty about when a policy owner is considered the owner of the assets for
tax purposes. We reserve the right to modify the policy, as necessary, to
prevent you from being considered the owner of assets in the separate account.
TAX DEFERRAL DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD
Under existing provisions of the Code, except as described below, any increase
in an owner's Investment Value is generally not taxable to the policy owner
unless amounts are received (or are deemed to be received) under the policy
prior to the insured's death. If the policy is surrendered or matures, the
amount received will be includable in the policy owner's income to the extent
that it exceeds the policy owner's "investment in the contract." (If there is
any debt at the time of a surrender, then such debt will be treated as an amount
distributed to the owner.) The "investment in the contract" is the aggregate
amount of premium payments and other consideration paid for the policy, less the
aggregate amount received previously under the policy to the extent such amounts
received were excluded from gross income. Whether partial withdrawals (or other
such amounts deemed to be distributed) from the policy constitute income to the
policy owner depends, in part, upon whether the policy is considered a modified
endowment contract for federal income tax purposes.
LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASED FOR USE IN SPLIT DOLLAR ARRANGEMENTS
On January 26, 1996, the IRS released a technical advice memorandum ("TAM") on
the taxability of life insurance policies used in certain split dollar
arrangements. A TAM, issued by the National Office of the IRS, provides advice
as to the internal revenue laws, regulations, and related statutes with respect
to a specific set of facts and a specific taxpayer. In the TAM, among other
things, the IRS concluded that an employee was subject to current taxation on
the excess of the cash surrender value of the policy over the premiums to be
returned to the employer. Purchasers of life insurance policies to be used in
split dollar arrangements are strongly advised to consult with a qualified tax
adviser to determine the tax treatment resulting from such an arrangement.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
If any amounts are deemed to be current taxable income to the policy owner, such
amounts will be subject to federal income tax withholding and reporting,
pursuant to the Code.
NON-INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP OF POLICIES
In certain circumstances, the Code limits the application of specific tax
advantages to individual owners of life insurance contracts. Prospective policy
owners which are not individuals should consult a qualified tax adviser to
determine the potential impact on the purchaser.
OTHER
Federal estate tax, state and local estate, inheritance and other tax
consequences of ownership, or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary. A qualified tax adviser
should be consulted to determine the impact of these taxes.
LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NON-RESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income
tax consequences to life insurance purchasers that are U.S. citizens or
residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be
subject to U.S. federal income tax and withholding on taxable distributions from
life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In
addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes
that may be imposed by the purchaser's country of citizenship or residence.
Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser
regarding U.S. state, and foreign taxation with respect to a life insurance
policy purchase.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL I was established as a separate account under Connecticut
law on September 18, 1992. The Separate Account is classified as a unit
investment trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Investment Company Act of 1940.
SERVICES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS -- Title to the assets of the Separate Account is held by
Hartford. The assets are kept physically segregated and are held separate and
apart from Hartford's general corporate assets. Records are maintained of all
purchases and redemptions of Fund shares held in each of the Sub-Accounts.
EXPERTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS -- The audited financial statements and financial
statement schedules included in this registration statement have been audited by
Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, as indicated in their
reports with respect thereto, and are included herein in reliance upon the
authority of said firm as experts in giving said reports. The principal business
address of Arthur Andersen LLP is One Financial Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut
06103.
ACTUARIAL EXPERT -- The hypothetical Policy illustrations included in this
Statement of Additional Information and the registration statement with respect
to the Separate Account have been approved by Thomas P. Kalmbach, FSA, MAAA,
Actuary for Hartford, and are included in reliance upon his opinion as to their
reasonableness.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO") serves as principal underwriter
for the policies and will offer the policies on a continuous basis. HESCO is
controlled by Hartford and is located at the same address as Hartford. HESCO is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
The policies will be sold by salespersons who represent Hartford as insurance
agents and who are registered representatives of HESCO or certain other
registered broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with
HESCO.
Broker-dealers or financial institutions are compensated according to a schedule
set forth by HESCO and any applicable rules or regulations for variable
insurance compensation. The compensation payable may vary with the distribution
agreements with HESCO. Compensation is generally based on premium payments. This
compensation is usually paid from the sales charges described in the Prospectus.
During the first Policy Year, the most common schedule of commission we pay is
70% of the premium paid up to the Target Premium and 2.0% of the premium in
excess of the Target Premium. The Target Premium is an amount used to calculate
sales commissions where the Target Premium amounts vary by: (1) age; (2) sex;
and (3) insurance class of the Insured. In Policy Years 2 and later, this
schedule allows for a commission of 2% of Premiums paid. A sales representative
may be required to return all or a portion of the commissions paid if the Policy
terminates prior to the Policy's first Policy Anniversary.
In addition, a broker-dealer or financial institution may also receive
additional compensation for, among other things, training, marketing or other
services provided. HESCO, its affiliates or Hartford may also make compensation
arrangements with certain broker-dealers or other financial institutions based
on total sales by the broker-dealer or financial institution of insurance
products. These payments, which may be different for broker-dealers or financial
institutions, will be made by HESCO, its affiliates or Hartford out of their
assets and will not effect the amounts paid by the policy owner to purchase,
hold or surrender variable insurance products.
The following table shows officers and directors of HESCO:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CHARGES
SALES LOAD -- The front-end sales load is a charge deducted from each premium
payment. The current sales load is 4%. The maximum sales load is 6%.
The front-end load under the policies may be used to cover expenses related to
the sale and distribution of the policies.
REDUCED CHARGES FOR ELIGIBLE GROUPS -- Certain charges and deductions described
above may be reduced for policies issued in connection with a specific plan, in
accordance with our rules in effect as of the date the application for a policy
is approved. To qualify for such a reduction, a plan must satisfy certain
criteria, i.e., as to size of the plan, expected number of participants and
anticipated premium payment from the plan. Generally, the sales contacts and
effort, administrative costs and mortality cost per policy vary, based on such
factors as the size of the plan, the purposes for which policies are purchased
and certain characteristics of the plan's members. The amount of reduction and
the criteria for qualification will be reflected in the reduced sales effort and
administrative costs resulting from, and the different mortality experience
expected as a result of, sales to qualifying plans. We may modify, from time to
time on a uniform basis, both the amounts of reductions and the criteria for
qualification. Reductions in these charges will not be unfairly discriminatory
against any person, including the affected policy owners invested in Separate
Account VL I.
UNDERWRITING PROCEDURES -- To purchase a policy you must submit an application
to us. Within limits, you may choose the initial Face Amount. Policies generally
will be issued only on the lives of insureds the ages of 0 and 85 who supply
evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Acceptance is subject to our
underwriting rules and we reserve the right to reject an application for any
reason.
Cost of insurance rates will be determined on each policy anniversary based on
our future expectations of such factors as mortality, expenses, interest,
persistency and taxes. For preferred and standard risks, the cost of insurance
rate will not exceed those based on the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary
Mortality Table (ALB), Male or Female, Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last
birthday (unisex rates may be required in some states). A table of guaranteed
cost of insurance rates per $1,000 will be included in your policy, however, we
reserve the right to use rates less than those shown in the table. Special risk
classes are used when mortality experience in excess of the standard risk
classes is expected. These substandard risks will be charged a higher cost of
insurance rate that will not exceed rates based on a multiple of 1980
Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (ALB), Male or Female,
Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last birthday (unisex rates may be required in
some states) plus any flat extra amount assessed. The multiple will be based on
the insured's substandard rating.
No change in the terms or conditions of a policy will be made without your
consent.
UNSCHEDULED INCREASES IN FACE AMOUNT -- At any time after the first policy year,
you may request in writing to change the Face Amount. The minimum amount by
which the Face Amount can be increased is based on our rules then in effect.
We reserve the right to limit the number of increases or decreases made under a
policy to no more than one in any 12 month period.
All requests to increase the Face Amount must be applied for on a new
application and accompanied by your policy. All requests will be subject to
evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Any increase approved by us will be
effective on the Monthly Activity Date shown on the new policy specifications
page, provided that the Monthly Deduction Amount for the first month after the
effective date of the increase is made. Each unscheduled increase in Face Amount
is subject to an increase fee. We deduct the fee each month for 12 months after
the increase. The Face Increase Fee rate is per $1,000 amount and varies by the
attained age of the insured.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ILLUSTRATION OF DEATH BENEFITS, ACCOUNT VALUES
AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES
The following tables illustrate the way in which the Policy operates. They show
how the Death Benefit, Account Values and Cash Surrender Values could vary over
an extended period of time, assuming hypothetical gross rates of return equal to
constant after tax annual rates of 0%, 6% and 12%. The illustrations assume a
male, preferred, non-nicotine, age 35, with $250,000 of Face Amount and a
premium of $1,875 paid in all years.
The Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash Surrender Value for a Policy would be
different from those shown if the rates of return averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a
period of years, but also fluctuated above or below those averages for
individual Policy Years. They would also differ if any Policy loan was made
during the period of time illustrated.
The tables reflect the deductions of current Policy charges and guaranteed
Policy charges for a single gross interest rate. The Death Benefits, Account
Values and Cash Surrender Values would change if current Cost of Insurance
charges change.
The amounts shown for the Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash Surrender Value
as of the end of each Policy Year take into account an average daily charge
equal to an annual charge of 0.71% of the average daily net assets of the Funds
for investment advisory and administrative services fees. The gross annual
investment return rates of 0%, 6% and 12% on the Fund's assets are equal to net
annual investment return rates (net of the 0.71% average daily charge) of
-0.71%, 5.29% and 11.29%, respectively.
In addition, the Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash Surrender Value as of the
end of each Policy Year take into account the front-end sales load, tax charge,
Cost of Insurance charge, monthly administrative fee, and mortality and expense
risk charge. For purpose of the illustrations in this Statement of Additional
Information, the tax charge is assumed to be an average of 1.75%.
The hypothetical returns shown in the illustrations are without any tax charges
that may be allocable to the Separate Account in the future. In order to produce
after-tax returns of 0%, 6%, and 12%, the Separate Account would have to earn a
sufficient amount in excess of 0% or 6% or 12%, respectively, to cover any tax
charges.
The "Premiums Accumulated at 5% Interest Per Year" column of each illustration
table shows the amount which would accumulate if the initial premium was
invested to earn interest, after taxes, of 5% per year, compounded annually.
Hartford will furnish, upon request, a comparable illustration reflecting the
proposed Insured's age and risk classification, a Policy's proposed Face Amount
or the initial premium requested, and reflecting guaranteed Cost of Insurance
rates. Hartford will also furnish an additional similar illustration reflecting
current Cost of Insurance rates, which may be less than, but never greater than,
the guaranteed Cost of Insurance rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Hartford Life Insurance Company
Separate Account VL I and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account VL I (Bond Fund, Stock Fund,
Money Market Fund, Advisers Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, Mortgage Securities
Fund, Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Dividend and Growth Fund,
Growth and Income Fund, International Advisers Fund, Small Company Fund, MidCap
Fund, Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, Fidelity VIP Overseas Portfolio and
Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager Portfolio) (collectively, the Account) as of
December 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations and the statements
of changes in net assets for the periods presented. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of December 31,
1999, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets
for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL I -- HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999
1. ORGANIZATION:
Separate Account VL I (the Account) is a separate investment account within
Hartford Life Insurance Company (the Company) and is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Both the Company and the Account are
subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of Insurance of the
State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests deposits by variable life
contractholders of the Company in various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed
by the contractholders.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Account,
which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
investment company industry:
A) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS -- Security transactions are recorded on the trade date
(date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on the
sales of securities are computed on the basis of identified cost of the fund
shares sold. Dividend and capital gains income is accrued as of the ex-dividend
date. Capital gains income represents those dividends from the Funds which are
characterized as capital gains under tax regulations.
B) SECURITY VALUATION -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued at
the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate Fund as
of December 31, 1999.
C) UNIT TRANSACTIONS -- Unit transactions are executed based on the unit values
calculated at the close of the business day.
D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The operations of the Account form a part of, and are
taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as an insurance
company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, no federal income
taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the Account.
E) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could
vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates.
3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
A) DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES FROM THE ACCOUNT VALUE -- On the policy date and on
each subsequent monthly activity date, the Company will deduct from the Account
an amount to cover mortality and expense risk charges, cost of insurance,
administrative charges and any other benefits provided by the rider. These
charges, which may vary from month to month in accordance which the terms of the
contracts, are deducted through termination of units of interest from the
applicable contractholders' accounts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Hartford Life Insurance Company
Separate Account VL I and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account VL I (Asia Pacific Growth,
Diversified Income, The George Putnam Fund of Boston, Global Asset Allocation,
Global Growth, Growth and Income, Health Sciences, High Yield, Income,
International Growth, International Growth and Income, International New
Opportunities, Investors, Money Market, New Opportunities, New Value, OTC &
Emerging Growth, Utilities Growth and Income, Vista, and Voyager sub-accounts),
(collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1999, and the related statements
of operations and the statements of changes in net assets for the periods
presented. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Account's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Account as of December 31,
1999, and the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for
the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL I -- HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999
1. ORGANIZATION:
Separate Account VL I (the Account) is a separate investment account within
Hartford Life Insurance Company (the Company) and is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Both the Company and the Account are
subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of Insurance of the
State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests deposits by variable life
policyowners of the Company in the various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed
by the policyowners.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Account,
which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
investment company industry:
A) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS -- Security transactions are recorded on the trade date
(date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on the
sales of securities are computed on the basis of identified cost of the fund
shares sold. Dividend and capital gains income is accrued as of the ex-dividend
date. Capital gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are
characterized as capital gains under tax regulations.
B) SECURITY VALUATION -- The investments in shares of the Funds are valued at
the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate Fund as
of December 31, 1999.
C) UNIT TRANSACTIONS -- Unit transactions are executed based on the unit values
calculated at the close of the business day. All unit transactions are executed
at fair value.
D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The operations of the Account form a part of, and are
taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as an insurance
company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, no federal income
taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the Account.
E) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could
vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates.
3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
A) COST OF INSURANCE -- In accordance with the terms of the policies, the
Company assesses cost of insurance charges to cover the Company's anticipated
mortality costs. Because a policy's account value and death benefit may vary
from month to month, the cost of insurance charges may also vary.
B) MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE -- The Company, as issuer of variable life
policies, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and, with respect to
the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of 1.40% of the Account's average
daily net assets. These charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments
and fees on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.
C) ADMINISTRATIVE AND ISSUE CHARGES -- The Company assesses a monthly
administrative charge to compensate the Company for administrative costs in
connection with the policies. This charge covers the average expected cost for
these services at a maximum of $12 per month. Additionally, the Company assesses
a monthly charge in the first policy year for up-front costs of underwriting and
issuing a policy at a monthly maximum amount of $62.50. These charges are
reflected in surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying
statements of changes in net assets.
D) DEDUCTION OF ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE -- Annual maintenance fees are deducted
through termination of units of interest from applicable policyowners' accounts,
in accordance with the terms of the policies. In addition, certain other charges
may apply based on the characteristics of the underlying policy. These charges
are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying
statements of changes in net assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
(Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries ("Hartford Life Insurance Company" or the
"Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life and Accident Insurance
Company (its parent), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life, Inc., have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures which are normally
included in financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments which
were normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. For a
description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in Hartford Life Insurance Company's 1999
Form 10-K Annual Report.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to
conform to the current year classification of transactions and accounts.
(B) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", which amends SFAS
Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities". Specifically, it amends SFAS No. 133 so that in interest rate
hedges, a company may designate as the hedged risk, the risk of changes only in
a benchmark interest rate. Also, credit risk is newly defined as the
company-specific spread over the benchmark interest rate and may be hedged
separately from or in combination with the benchmark interest rate. For
companies that have not adopted SFAS No. 133 before June 15, 2000, SFAS No. 138
must be adopted concurrently with the company's adoption of SFAS No. 133.
Initial application of both SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 for Hartford Life
Insurance Company will begin January 1, 2001.
Hartford Life Insurance Company has reviewed its derivative holdings and is in
the process of quantifying the impact of SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No.
138. The Company is also assessing what actions, if any, need to be taken to
minimize potential volatility, while at the same time maintaining the economic
protection needed to support the goals of its business.
Effective January 1, 2000, Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted Statement of
Position (SOP) No. 98-7, "Accounting for Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts
That Do Not Transfer Insurance Risk". This SOP provides guidance on the method
of accounting for insurance and reinsurance contracts that do not transfer
insurance risk, defined in the SOP as the deposit method. Adoption of this SOP
did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results
of operations.
2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
(A) LITIGATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company is involved in pending and threatened litigation
in the normal course of its business in which claims for alleged economic and
punitive damages have been asserted. Some of these cases have been filed as
purported class actions and some cases have been filed in certain jurisdictions
that permit punitive damage awards disproportionate to the actual damages
incurred. Although there can be no assurances, at the present time the Company
does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising from such pending or
threatened litigation, after consideration of provisions made for estimated
losses and costs of defense, will have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or operating results of the Company.
(B) TAX MATTERS
Hartford Life, Inc.'s federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the
Internal Revenue Service. Hartford Life, Inc.'s 1996-1997 federal income tax
returns are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service. Management
believes that sufficient provision has been made in the financial statements for
issues that may result from tax examinations and other tax related matters for
all open years. During the second quarter, Hartford Life, Inc. reached a
settlement with the Internal Revenue Service with respect to certain tax matters
for the 1993-1995 years. This settlement resulted in a $24 tax benefit being
recorded in Hartford Life Insurance Company's second quarter results of
operations.
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company is organized into three reportable operating
segments which include Investment Products, Individual Life and Corporate Owned
Life Insurance (COLI). Investment Products offers individual fixed and variable
annuities, retirement plan services and other investment products. Individual
Life sells a variety of life insurance products, including variable life,
universal life, interest sensitive whole life and term life insurance. COLI
primarily offers variable products used by employers to fund non-qualified
benefits or other post-employment benefit obligations as well as leveraged COLI.
The Company includes in "Other" corporate items not directly allocable to any of
its reportable operating segments, as
Q-5
<PAGE>
well as certain group benefit products including group life and disability
insurance that is directly written by the Company and is substantially ceded to
its parent.
The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Hartford Life Insurance Company's
1999 Form 10-K Annual Report. Hartford Life Insurance Company evaluates
performance of its segments based on revenues, net income and the segment's
return on allocated capital. The Company charges direct operating expenses to
the appropriate segment and allocates the majority of indirect expenses to the
segments based on an intercompany expense arrangement. Intersegment revenues are
not significant and primarily occur between corporate and the operating
segments. These amounts include interest income on allocated surplus and the
allocation of net realized capital gains and losses through net investment
income utilizing the duration of the segment's investment portfolios.
The following tables present summarized financial information concerning the
Company's segments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (MD&A) addresses the financial condition of Hartford Life Insurance
Company and subsidiaries ("Hartford Life Insurance Company" or the "Company") as
of June 30, 2000, compared with December 31, 1999, and its results of operations
for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 compared with the
equivalent periods in 1999. This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the MD&A included in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K Annual Report.
Certain statements contained in this discussion, other than statements of
historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These statements are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and include estimates and assumptions related to economic,
competitive and legislative developments. These forward-looking statements are
subject to change and uncertainty which are, in many instances, beyond the
Company's control and have been made based upon management's expectations and
beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on the
Company. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in
accordance with management's expectations or that the effect of future
developments on Hartford Life Insurance Company will be those anticipated by
management. Actual results could differ materially from those expected by the
Company, depending on the outcome of certain factors, including the possibility
of general economic, business and legislative conditions that are less favorable
than anticipated, changes in interest rates or the stock markets, stronger than
anticipated competitive activity and those described in the forward-looking
statements.

</TABLE>
Hartford Life Insurance Company has the following reportable segments:
Investment Products, Individual Life and Corporate Owned Life Insurance (COLI).
The Company reports in "Other" corporate items not directly allocable to any of
its segments, as well as certain group benefits business, including group life
and disability insurance that is directly written by the Company and is
substantially ceded to its parent, Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company
(HLA).
Revenues decreased slightly for the respective second quarter and six month
periods. Excluding net realized capital gains (losses) and the COLI segment,
where revenues decreased primarily due to the declining block of leveraged COLI
business, revenues increased $58, or 9%, and $121, or 10%, for the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the
equivalent 1999 periods. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to
growth in the Investment Products segment which was, for the most part, due to
higher fee income related to the individual annuity operation which is directly
attributable to increased assets under management.
Expenses decreased $67, or 9%, and $107, or 7%, for the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the equivalent 1999
periods. Excluding tax benefits (described below) and the COLI segment where
expenses decreased primarily due to the declining block of leveraged COLI
business, expenses increased slightly for both periods. The increase in expenses
was lower than the growth in revenues as the Company continues to create
operating leverage by expanding its distribution platform to accelerate sales
volume while utilizing technology and prudent expense management to increase
productivity.
Net income increased $45, or 53%, and $85, or 49%, for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the equivalent 1999
periods driven by increases in net income across each of the Company's
reportable segments for the six months. The Company also reported a benefit
related to federal income taxes of $24 for the second quarter of 2000 (see
Note 2(b) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). This, along with an $8
benefit related to state income taxes in the first quarter of 2000, resulted in
a $32 increase to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Partially
offsetting this increase, the Company realized $21 and $24 of net realized
capital losses during the respective periods, primarily as a result of portfolio
re-balancing. Excluding the tax items and the net realized capital gains
(losses), net income was up $44, or 53%, and $78, or 45%, for the respective
second quarter and six month periods.

Revenues in the Investment Products segment increased $37, or 8%, and $91, or
10%, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, as
compared to the equivalent 1999 periods, primarily due to higher fee income in
the individual annuity operation. Fee income generated by individual annuities
increased $37, or 13%, and $91, or 17%, for the respective second quarter and
six month periods, as related account values grew $11.8 billion, or 15%, from
June 30, 1999. The growth in individual annuity account values was mostly due to
strong sales (including $5.8 billion for the first six months of 2000) and
equity market appreciation.
Due to the continued growth in this segment, particularly the individual annuity
operation, expenses increased $25, or 6%, or $74, or 10%, for the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the equivalent
1999 periods. These increases were primarily driven by amortization of deferred
policy acquisition costs, which grew $15, or 15%, and $37, or 18%, for the
respective second quarter and six month periods and other expenses which
increased $23, or 28%, and $34, or 20%, over the respective prior year levels.
The segment's operating expenses as a percentage of average assets under
management were relatively consistent for the second quarter and six month
periods versus the equivalent prior year periods.
Net income increased $12, or 15%, and $17, or 11%, for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the equivalent 1999
periods, primarily due to the growth in revenues associated with the increase in
assets under management across the entire segment. Additionally, the Investment
Products segment continued to maintain its profit margins related to its primary
businesses thus contributing to the segment's earnings growth.

</TABLE>
The slight decrease in revenues and expenses in the Individual Life segment is
primarily due to HLA's December 1, 1999 recapture of an in force block of
individual life insurance previously ceded to the Company. (For a discussion of
the recapture, see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
Hartford Life Insurance Company's 1999 Form 10-K Annual Report.)
Excluding the recapture described above, revenues in the Individual Life segment
increased $15, or 13%, and $37, or 16%, for the second quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the equivalent 1999 periods.
This increase in revenues is attributable to higher fee income associated with
the growing block of variable life insurance. Fee income increased $17, or 21%,
and $40, or 27%, for the respective second quarter and six month periods, as
variable life account values increased $827, or 41%, and variable life insurance
in force increased $9.1 billion, or 47%, from June 30, 1999.
Excluding the recapture described above, expenses increased $14, or 14%, and
$33, or 17%, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000,
respectively, as compared to the equivalent 1999 periods. The increase in
expenses for the second quarter was principally due to a $7, or 15%, increase in
benefits, claims and claim adjustment expenses related to the growing block of
business. The increase in expenses for the six month period was primarily due to
a $15, or 33%, increase in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs
which was
Q-8
<PAGE>
also associated with the growth in this segment's variable life business.
Excluding the recapture described above, net income increased $1, or 7%, and $4,
or 12%, for the respective periods, primarily due to the higher fee income
previously discussed, and favorable mortality experience as death benefits
through six months remained level with 1999, while life insurance in force
increased 12%.

COLI revenues decreased $46, or 21%, and $105, or 24%, for the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the equivalent
prior year periods. Net investment income decreased $21, or 20%, and $55, or
24%, for the respective second quarter and six month periods primarily due to
the leveraged COLI block of business, as related account values decreased $1.2
billion, or 20%, as result of the downsizing caused by the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Revenues also decreased due to lower
sales in 2000 as compared to 1999.
Expenses decreased $47, or 23%, and $108, or 25%, for the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the equivalent prior
year periods due to the factors described above. Net income increased $1, or
14%, and $3, or 23%, for the respective second quarter and six month periods.
These increases were primarily attributable to the variable COLI business where
account values increased $1.1 billion, or 9%, as well as increased earnings
associated with a block of leveraged COLI business recaptured (MBL Recapture) in
1998. (For a discussion of the MBL Recapture, see the Capital Resources and
Liquidity section in Hartford Life Insurance Company's 1999 Form 10-K Annual
Report.)
REGULATORY MATTERS AND CONTINGENCIES
NAIC PROPOSALS
The NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (SAP) in
March 1998. The effective date for the statutory accounting guidance is January
1, 2001. It is expected that Hartford Life Insurance Company and its
subsidiaries' domiciliary state will adopt the SAP and the Company will make the
necessary changes required for implementation. The Company has not yet
determined the impact that the SAP will have on the statutory financial
statements of Hartford Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries.
DEPENDENCE ON CERTAIN THIRD PARTY RELATIONSHIPS
Hartford Life Insurance Company distributes its annuity and life insurance
products through a variety of distribution channels, including broker-dealers,
banks, wholesalers, its own internal sales force and other third party marketing
organizations. The Company periodically negotiates provisions and renewals of
these relationships and there can be no assurance that such terms will remain
acceptable to the Company or such service providers. An interruption in the
Company's continuing relationship with certain of these third parties could
materially affect the Company's ability to market its products.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
For a discussion of accounting standards, see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
----------------------------------------------------
To Hartford Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
related Consolidated Statements of Income, Changes in Stockholder's Equity and
Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999.
These Consolidated Financial Statements and the schedules referred to below are
the responsibility of Hartford Life Insurance Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in the Index to
Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules are presented for the purpose of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part
of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

In 1999, the Company's parent, Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company, recaptured an
in force block of individual life insurance previously ceded to the Company. This
commutation resulted in a reduction in the Company's assets of $666, consisting of $556
of invested assets, $99 of deferred policy acquisition costs and $11 of other assets.
Liabilities decreased $650, consisting of $543 of other policyholder funds, $60 of future
policy benefits and $47 of other liabilities. As a result, the Company recognized an
after-tax loss relating to this transaction of $16.
In 1998, due to the recapture of an in force block of business previously ceded to MBL
Life Assurance Co. of New Jersey, reinsurance recoverables of $4,753 were exchanged for
the fair value of assets comprised of $4,310 in policy loans and $443 in other net
assets.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
These Consolidated Financial Statements include Hartford Life Insurance Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Hartford Life Insurance Company" or the
"Company"), Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (HLAI) and Hartford
International Life Reassurance Corporation (HLRe), formerly American Skandia
Life Reinsurance Corporation. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company (HLA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life, Inc. (Hartford Life). Hartford Life is a direct subsidiary of
Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company (HA&I), an indirect subsidiary of The
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (The Hartford). In November 1998,
Hartford Life Insurance Company transferred in the form of a dividend, Hartford
Financial Services, LLC and its subsidiaries to HLA.
Pursuant to an initial public offering (the "IPO") on May 22, 1997, Hartford
Life sold 26 million shares of Class A Common Stock at $28.25 per share and
received proceeds, net of offering expenses, of $687. Of the proceeds, $527 was
used to retire debt related to Hartford Life's outstanding promissory notes and
line of credit with the remaining $160 contributed by Hartford Life to its
insurance subsidiaries to support growth in its core businesses. Hartford Life
became a publicly traded company upon the sale of 26 million shares representing
approximately 18.6% of the equity ownership in Hartford Life.
Along with its parent, HLA, the Company is a leading financial services and
insurance company which provides (a) investment products such as individual
variable annuities and fixed market value adjusted annuities, mutual funds and
retirement plan services for savings and retirement needs; (b) life insurance
for income protection and estate planning; (c) employee benefits products such
as group life and disability insurance that is directly written by the Company
and is substantially ceded to its parent, HLA, and (d) corporate owned life
insurance.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared on the basis of accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, which differ materially from
the statutory accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory
authorities. All material intercompany transactions and balances between
Hartford Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The most significant estimates include those used in determining deferred policy
acquisition costs and the liability for future policy benefits and other
policyholder funds. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates,
management believes the amounts provided are adequate.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to
conform to the current year presentation.
(B) ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective January 1, 1999, Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted Statement of
Position (SOP) No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". This SOP provides guidance on
accounting for the costs of internal use software and in determining whether the
software is for internal use. The SOP defines internal use software as software
that is acquired, internally developed, or modified solely to meet internal
needs and identifies stages of software development and accounting for the
related costs incurred during the stages. Adoption of this SOP did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1999, Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted SOP
No. 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related
Assessments". This SOP addresses accounting by insurance and other enterprises
for assessments related to insurance activities, including recognition,
measurement and disclosure of guaranty fund or other assessments. Adoption of
this SOP did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
The Company's cash flows were not impacted by these changes in accounting
principles.
(C) FUTURE ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133". This statement amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to defer its effective date for
one year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Initial
F-6
<PAGE>
application for Hartford Life Insurance Company will begin January 1, 2001. SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting guidance for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts. The standard requires, among other things, that all derivatives be
carried on the balance sheet at fair value. The standard also specifies hedge
accounting criteria under which a derivative can qualify for special accounting.
In order to receive special accounting, the derivative instrument must qualify
as either a hedge of the fair value or the variability of the cash flow of a
qualified asset or liability. Special accounting for qualifying hedges provides
for matching the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument
with the recognition of the corresponding changes in value of the hedged item.
The Company has reviewed its derivative holdings and is in the process of
quantifying the impact of SFAS No. 133. The Company is also assessing what
actions, if any, need to be taken to minimize potential volatility, while at the
same time maintaining the economic protection needed to support the goals of its
business.
In October 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
issued SOP No. 98-7, "Accounting for Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts That Do
Not Transfer Insurance Risk". This SOP provides guidance on the method of
accounting for insurance and reinsurance contracts that do not transfer
insurance risk, defined in the SOP as the deposit method. This SOP is effective
for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 and is
not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
(D) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues for investment products and universal life-type policies consist of
policy charges for policy administration, cost of insurance and surrender
charges assessed to policy account balances and are recognized in the period in
which services are provided. Premiums for traditional life insurance and
disability policies are recognized as revenues ratably over the policy period.
(E) DIVIDENDS TO POLICYHOLDERS
Certain life insurance policies contain dividend payment provisions that enable
the policyholder to participate in the earnings on that participating block of
business of the life insurance subsidiaries of the Company. The participating
insurance in force accounted for 34%, 35% and 33% in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, of total insurance in force.
(F) INVESTMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's investments in both fixed maturities, which
include bonds, redeemable preferred stock and commercial paper, and equity
securities, which include common and non-redeemable preferred stocks, are
classified as "available for sale" in accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Accordingly, these
securities are carried at fair value with the after-tax difference from cost
reflected in stockholder's equity as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income. Policy loans are carried at outstanding balance which
approximates fair value. Other invested assets consist primarily of partnership
investments, which are accounted for by the equity method, and mortgage loans,
whereby the carrying value approximates fair value. Realized capital gains and
losses on security transactions associated with the Company's immediate
participation guaranteed contracts are excluded from revenues and deferred over
the expected maturity of the securities, since under the terms of the contracts
the realized gains and losses will be credited to policyholders in future years
as they are entitled to receive them. Net realized capital gains and losses,
excluding those related to immediate participation guaranteed contracts, are
reported as a component of revenue and are determined on a specific
identification basis.
The Company's accounting policy for impairment requires recognition of an other
than temporary impairment charge on a security if it is determined that the
Company is unable to recover all amounts due under the contractual obligations
of the security. In addition, for securities expected to be sold, an other than
temporary impairment charge is recognized if the Company does not expect the
fair value of a security to recover to cost or amortized cost prior to the
expected date of sale. Once an impairment charge has been recorded, the Company
then continues to review the other than temporarily impaired securities for
additional impairment, if necessary.
(G) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
HEDGE ACCOUNTING -- Hartford Life Insurance Company uses a variety of derivative
instruments, including swaps, caps, floors, forwards and exchange traded
financial futures and options as part of an overall risk management strategy.
These instruments are used as a means of hedging exposure to price, foreign
currency and/or interest rate risk on planned investment purchases or existing
assets and liabilities. Hartford Life Insurance Company does not hold or issue
derivative instruments for trading purposes. Hartford Life Insurance Company's
accounting for derivative instruments used to manage risk is in accordance with
the concepts established in SFAS No. 80, "Accounting for Futures Contracts",
SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", AICPA SOP No. 86-2, "Accounting for
Options" and various Emerging Issues Task Force pronouncements. Written options
are used, in all cases in conjunction with other assets and derivatives, as part
of the Company's asset and liability management strategy. Derivative instruments
are carried at values consistent with the asset or liability being hedged.
Derivative instruments used to hedge fixed maturities or equity securities are
carried at fair value with the after-tax difference from cost reflected in
stockholder's equity. Derivative instruments used to hedge other invested assets
or liabilities are carried at cost. For a discussion of SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", issued in June
1998, see (c) Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards.
Derivative instruments must be designated at inception as a hedge and measured
for effectiveness both at inception
F-7
<PAGE>
and on an ongoing basis. Hartford Life Insurance Company's correlation threshold
for hedge designation is 80% to 120%. If correlation, which is assessed monthly
or quarterly and measured based on a rolling three month average, falls outside
the 80% to 120% range, hedge accounting will be terminated. Derivative
instruments used to create a synthetic asset must meet synthetic accounting
criteria, including designation at inception and consistency of terms between
the synthetic and the instrument being replicated. Consistent with industry
practice, synthetic instruments are accounted for like the financial instrument
they are intended to replicate. Derivative instruments which fail to meet risk
management criteria, subsequent to acquisition, are marked to market with the
impact reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
FUTURES -- Gains or losses on financial futures contracts entered into in
anticipation of the investment of future receipt of product cash flows are
deferred and, at the time of the ultimate investment purchase, reflected as an
adjustment to the cost basis of the purchased asset. Gains or losses on futures
used in invested asset risk management are deferred and adjusted into the cost
basis of the hedged asset when the contract futures are closed, except for
futures used in duration hedging, which are deferred and basis adjusted on a
quarterly basis. The basis adjustments are amortized into net investment income
over the remaining asset life.
FORWARD COMMITMENTS -- Open forward commitment contracts are marked to market
through stockholder's equity. Such contracts are accounted for at settlement by
recording the purchase of the specified securities at the previously committed
price. Gains or losses resulting from the termination of forward commitment
contracts are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Income as
a component of net investment income.
OPTIONS -- The cost of options entered into as part of a risk management
strategy are basis adjusted to the underlying asset or liability and amortized
over the remaining life of the option. Gains or losses on expiration or
termination are adjusted into the basis of the underlying asset or liability and
amortized over the remaining asset life.
INTEREST RATE SWAPS -- Interest rate swaps involve the periodic exchange of
payments without the exchange of underlying principal or notional amounts. Net
receipts or payments are accrued and recognized over the life of the swap
agreement as an adjustment to investment income. Should the swap be terminated,
the gain or loss is adjusted into the basis of the asset or liability and
amortized over the remaining life. Should the hedged asset be sold or liability
terminated without terminating the swap position, any swap gains or losses are
immediately recognized in earnings. Interest rate swaps purchased in
anticipation of an asset purchase (anticipatory transaction) are recognized
consistent with the underlying asset components such that the settlement
component is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income while the
change in market value is recognized as an unrealized capital gain or loss.
INTEREST RATE CAPS AND FLOORS -- Premiums paid on purchased cap or floor
agreements and the premium received on issued cap or floor agreements (used for
risk management) are adjusted into the basis of the applicable asset and
amortized over the asset life. Gains or losses on termination of such positions
are adjusted into the basis of the asset or liability and amortized over the
remaining asset life. Net payments are recognized as an adjustment to income or
basis adjusted and amortized depending on the specific hedge strategy.
FORWARD EXCHANGE AND CURRENCY SWAPS CONTRACTS -- Forward exchange contracts and
foreign currency swaps are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 52. Changes
in the spot rate of instruments designated as hedges of the net investment in a
foreign subsidiary are reflected in the cumulative translation adjustment
component of stockholder's equity.
Cash flows from futures, options and swaps, accounted for as hedges, are
included with the cash flows of the item being hedged.
(H) SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintains separate account assets and
liabilities which are reported at fair value. Separate account assets are
segregated from other investments. Separate accounts reflect two categories of
risk assumption: non-guaranteed separate accounts, wherein the policyholder
assumes substantially all the investment risk and rewards, and guaranteed
separate accounts, wherein the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum
return or account value to the policyholder.
(I) DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Policy acquisition costs, which include commissions and certain other expenses
associated with acquiring business, are deferred and amortized over the
estimated lives of the contracts, usually 20 years. Generally, acquisition costs
are deferred and amortized using the retrospective deposit method. Under the
retrospective deposit method, acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to
the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges, investment
charges, mortality and expense margins. Actual gross profits can vary from
management's estimates, resulting in increases or decreases in the rate of
amortization. Management periodically updates these estimates, when appropriate,
and evaluates the recoverability of the deferred acquisition cost asset. When
appropriate, management revises its assumptions on the estimated gross profits
of these contracts and the cumulative amortization for the books of business are
re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to income.

Acquisition costs and their related deferral are included in the Company's other
expenses as follows:

</TABLE>
(J) FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
Liabilities for future policy benefits are computed by the net level premium
method using interest rate assumptions varying from 3% to 11% and withdrawal and
mortality assumptions appropriate at the time the policies were issued.
(K) OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS
Other policyholder funds include reserves for investment contracts without life
contingencies, corporate owned life insurance and universal life insurance
contracts. These reserves are based on account values, which represent the
balance that accrues to the benefit of policyholders.

maturities differ from contractual maturities due to call or prepayment
provisions. Asset backed securities, including mortgage backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations, are distributed to maturity year based on
the Company's estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the
remaining lives of the securities. These estimates are developed using
prepayment speeds provided in broker consensus

(F) SALES OF FIXED MATURITY AND EQUITY SECURITY INVESTMENTS
Sales of fixed maturities, excluding short-term fixed maturities, for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 resulted in proceeds of $3.4 billion,
$3.2 billion and $4.2 billion, gross realized capital gains of $153, $103 and
$169, gross realized capital losses (including writedowns) of $160, $131 and
$176, respectively. Sales of equity security investments for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 resulted in proceeds of $7, $35 and $132 and
gross realized capital gains of $2, $21 and $12, respectively, and no gross
realized capital losses for all periods.
(G) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk in
fixed maturities of a single issuer greater than 10% of stockholder's equity.
(H) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company utilizes a variety of derivative instruments,
including swaps, caps, floors, forwards and exchange traded futures and options,
in accordance with Company policy and in order to achieve one of three Company
approved objectives: to hedge risk arising from interest rate, price or currency
exchange rate volatility; to manage liquidity; or, to control transactions
costs. The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage market risk through
four principal risk management strategies: hedging anticipated transactions,
hedging liability instruments, hedging invested assets and hedging portfolios of
assets and/or liabilities. The Company does not trade in these instruments for
the express purpose of earning trading profits.
The Company maintains a derivatives counterparty exposure policy which
establishes market based credit limits, favors long-term financial stability and
creditworthiness, and typically requires credit enhancement/credit risk reducing
agreements. Credit risk is measured as the amount owed to the Company based on
current market conditions and potential payment obligations between the Company
and its counterparties. Credit exposures are quantified weekly and netted, and
collateral is pledged to or held by the Company to the extent the current value
of derivatives exceed exposure policy thresholds.
The Company's derivative program is monitored by an internal compliance unit and
is reviewed by senior management. Notional amounts, which represent the basis
upon which pay or receive amounts are calculated and are not reflective of
credit risk, pertaining to derivative financial instruments (excluding the
Company's guaranteed separate account derivative investments), totaled $5.5
billion and $6.2 billion ($3.9 billion and $3.9 billion related to the Company's
investments, $1.6 billion and $2.3 billion on the Company's liabilities) as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107 "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires
disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments. For certain
financial instruments where quoted market prices are not available, other
independent valuation techniques and assumptions are used. Because considerable
judgment is used, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of amounts that
could be realized in a current market exchange. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain
financial instruments from disclosure, including insurance contracts. Hartford
Life Insurance Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating
the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
Fair value for fixed maturities and marketable equity securities approximates
those quotations published by applicable stock exchanges or received from other
reliable sources.
For policy loans, carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Other invested assets consist primarily of partnership investments, which are
accounted for by the equity method, and mortgage loans, whereby the carrying
value approximates fair value.
Other policyholder funds fair value information is determined by estimating
future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments, including swaps, caps,
floors, futures, options and forward commitments, is determined using a pricing
model which is similar to external valuation models.
The carrying amount and fair values of Hartford Life Insurance Company's
financial instruments as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 were as follows:

5. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintained separate account assets and
liabilities totaling $110.4 billion and $90.3 billion as of December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively, which are reported at fair value. Separate account
assets, which are segregated from other investments, reflect two categories of
risk assumption: non-guaranteed separate accounts totaling $101.7 billion and
$80.6 billion as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, wherein the
policyholder assumes substantially all the investment risk, and guaranteed
separate accounts totaling $8.7 and $9.7 billion as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively, wherein Hartford Life Insurance Company contractually
guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the policyholder.
Included in non-guaranteed separate account assets were policy loans totaling
$860 and $1.8 billion as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net
investment income (including net realized capital gains and losses) and interest
credited to policyholders on separate account assets are not reflected in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
Separate account management fees and other revenues were $1.1 billion, $908 and
$699 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The guaranteed separate accounts
include fixed market value adjusted (MVA) individual annuities and modified
guaranteed life insurance. The average credited interest rate on these contracts
was 6.5% and 6.6% as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The assets
that support these liabilities were comprised of $8.7 billion and $9.5 billion
in fixed maturities as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $0.2
billion of other invested assets as of December 31, 1998. The portfolios are
segregated from other investments and are managed to minimize liquidity and
interest rate risk. In order to minimize the risk of disintermediation
associated with early withdrawals, fixed MVA annuity and modified guaranteed
life insurance contracts carry a graded surrender charge as well as a market
value adjustment. Additional investment risk is hedged using a variety of
derivatives which totaled $(96) and $40 in carrying value and $2.0 billion and
$3.5 billion in notional amounts as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

</TABLE>
A significant percentage of the consolidated statutory surplus is permanently
reinvested or is subject to various state regulatory restrictions which limit
the payment of dividends without prior approval. The total amount of statutory
dividends which may be paid by the insurance subsidiaries of the Company in
2000, without prior regulatory approval, is estimated to be $190.
Hartford Life Insurance Company and its domestic insurance subsidiaries prepare
their statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting practices
prescribed by the applicable state of domicile. Prescribed statutory accounting
practices include publications of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC), as well as state laws, regulations and general
administrative rules.
The NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (SAP) in
March 1998. The proposed effective date for the statutory accounting guidance is
January 1, 2001. It is expected that Hartford Life Insurance Company's
domiciliary state will adopt the SAP and the Company will make the necessary
changes required for implementation. The Company has not yet determined the
impact that the SAP will have on the statutory financial statements of Hartford
Life Insurance Company and its insurance subsidiaries.
7. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's employees are included in the 1997 Hartford
Life, Inc. Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan"), which was adopted during the
second quarter of 1997. Under the Plan, options granted may be either non-
qualified options or incentive stock options qualifying under Section 422A of
the Internal Revenue Code, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or
restricted stock, or any combination of the foregoing. The aggregate number of
shares of Class A Common Stock which may be awarded in any one year shall be
subject to an annual limit. The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock
which may be granted under the Plan in each year shall be 1.5% of the total
issued and outstanding shares of Hartford Life Class A and Class B Common Stock
and treasury stock as reported in the Annual Report on Hartford Life's Form 10-K
of the Company for the preceding year plus unused portions of such limit from
prior years.
In addition, no more than 5 million shares of Class A Common Stock shall be
cumulatively available for awards of incentive stock options under the Plan, and
no more than 20% of the total number of shares on a cumulative basis shall be
available for restricted stock and performance shares awards. Performance shares
awards of common stock granted under the Plan become payable upon the attainment
of specific performance goals achieved over a three year period.

<PAGE>
All options granted have an exercise price equal to the market price of the
Company's stock on the date of grant and an option's maximum term is ten years.
Certain non-performance based options become exercisable upon the attainment of
specified market price appreciation of Hartford Life's common shares or at seven
years after the date of grant, while the remaining non-performance based options
become exercisable over a three year period commencing with the date of grant.
During the second quarter of 1997, Hartford Life established the Hartford Life,
Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Under this plan, eligible employees of
Hartford Life and the Company may purchase Class A Common Stock of Hartford Life
at a 15% discount from the lower of the market price at the beginning or end of
the quarterly offering period. Hartford Life may sell up to 2,700,000 shares of
stock to eligible employees. Hartford Life sold 120,694, 121,943 and 54,316
shares under the ESPP in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The weighted average
fair value of the discount under the ESPP was $7.48 per share in 1999, $13.74
per share in 1998 and $9.63 per share in 1997.
8. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT AND SAVINGS PLANS
(A) PENSION PLANS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's employees are included in The Hartford's
noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. These plans provide pension
benefits that are based on years of service and the employee's compensation
during the last ten years of employment. The Company's funding policy is to
contribute annually an amount between the minimum funding requirements set forth
in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the
maximum amount that can be deducted for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Generally, pension costs are funded through the purchase of the Company's group
pension contracts. The cost to the Company was approximately $6 in both 1999 and
1998, and $5 in 1997.
The Company also provides, through The Hartford, certain health care and life
insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. A substantial portion of the
Company's employees may become eligible for these benefits upon retirement. The
Company's contribution for health care benefits will depend on the retiree's
date of retirement and years of service. In addition, the plan has a defined
dollar cap which limits average Company contributions. The Company has prefunded
a portion of the health care and life insurance obligations through trust funds
where such prefunding can be accomplished on a tax effective basis.
Postretirement health care and life insurance benefits expense, allocated by The
Hartford, was immaterial to the results of operations for 1999, 1998 and 1997.
The assumed rate in the per capita cost of health care (the health care trend
rate) was 7.1% for 1999, decreasing ratably to 5.0% in the year 2003. Increasing
or decreasing the health care trend rates by one percent per year would have an
immaterial impact on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the
annual expense. To the extent that the actual experience differs from the
inherent assumptions, the effect will be amortized over the average future
service of covered employees.
(B) INVESTMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN
Substantially all employees of the Company are eligible to participate in The
Hartford's Investment and Savings Plan. Under this plan, designated
contributions, which may be invested in Class A Common Stock of Hartford Life or
certain other investments, are matched, up to 3% of compensation, by the
Company. The cost to Hartford Life Insurance Company for the above-mentioned
plan was approximately $4 in both 1999 and 1998, and $2 in 1997.
9. REINSURANCE
Hartford Life Insurance Company cedes insurance to other insurers in order to
limit its maximum losses. Such transfer does not relieve Hartford Life Insurance
Company of its primary liability. Failure of reinsurers to honor their
obligations could result in losses to Hartford Life Insurance Company. Hartford
Life Insurance Company reduces this risk by evaluating the financial condition
of reinsurers, and monitoring for possible concentrations of credit risk.
Hartford Life Insurance Company has no significant reinsurance related
concentrations of credit risk.
The Company records a receivable for the portion of reinsured benefits paid and
insurance liabilities. Reinsurance recoveries on ceded reinsurance contracts
were $397, $300 and $418 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Hartford Life Insurance Company also assumes insurance from other
insurers.
The effect of reinsurance on premiums and other considerations is summarized as
follows:

</TABLE>
F-15
<PAGE>
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintains certain reinsurance agreements with
HLA, whereby the Company cedes both group life and group accident and health
risk. Under these treaties, the Company ceded group life premium of $119, $132
and $80 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and accident and health premium of
$430, $379, and $335, respectively, to HLA.
Pursuant to a reinsurance agreement dating back to 1992, the Company assumed
100% of certain blocks of individual life insurance from HLA. Under this
reinsurance agreement Hartford Life Insurance Company assumed $9, $13 and $18 of
premium from HLA in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. On December 1, 1999, HLA
recaptured this in force block of individual life insurance previously ceded to
the Company. This commutation resulted in a reduction in the Company's assets of
$666, consisting of $556 of invested assets, $99 of deferred policy acquisition
costs and $11 of other assets. Liabilities decreased $650, consisting of $543 of
other policyholder funds, $60 of future policy benefits and $47 of other
liabilities. As a result, the Company recognized an after-tax loss relating to
this transaction of $16.
In 1998, the Hartford Life recaptured an in force block of Corporate Owned Life
Insurance (COLI) business previously ceded to MBL Assurance Co. of New Jersey
(MBL Life). The transaction was consummated through an assignment of a
reinsurance arrangement between Hartford Life and MBL Life to a Hartford Life
subsidiary. Hartford Life originally assumed the life insurance block in 1992
from Mutual Benefit Life, which was placed in court-supervised rehabilitation in
1991, and reinsured a portion of those policies back to MBL Life. This recapture
was effective January 1, 1998 and resulted in a decrease in ceded premiums and
other considerations of $163 in 1998. Additionally, this transaction resulted in
a decrease in reinsurance recoverables of $4.8 billion, which was exchanged for
the fair value of assets comprised of $4.3 billion in policy loans and $443 in
other net assets.
10. INCOME TAX
Hartford Life and The Hartford have entered into a tax sharing agreement under
which each member in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return will make
payments between them such that, with respect to any period, the amount of taxes
to be paid by the Company, subject to certain adjustments, generally will be
determined as though the Company were filing separate federal, state and local
income tax returns.
As long as The Hartford continues to own at least 80% of the combined voting
power and 80% of the value of the outstanding capital stock of Hartford Life,
the Company will be included for federal income tax purposes in the affiliated
group of which The Hartford is the common parent. It is the intention of The
Hartford and its non-life subsidiaries to file a single consolidated federal
income tax return. The life insurance companies will file a separate
consolidated federal income tax return for 1997 and 1998 and intend to file a
separate consolidated federal income tax return for 1999. The Company's
effective tax rate was 35%, 35% and 36% in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Income tax expense (benefit) is as follows:

Hartford Life Insurance Company had a current tax receivable of $56 as of
December 31, 1999 and a current tax payable of $65 as of December 31, 1998.
Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1984, the Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act
of 1959 permitted the deferral from taxation of a portion of statutory income
under certain circumstances. In these situations, the deferred income was
accumulated in a "Policyholders' Surplus Account" and, based on current tax law,
will be taxable in the future only under conditions which management considers
to be remote; therefore, no federal income taxes have been provided on the
balance in this account, which for tax return purposes was $104 as of December
31, 1999.
11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions of the Company with its affiliates relate principally to tax
settlements, reinsurance, insurance coverage, rental and service fees, payment
of dividends and capital contributions. In addition, certain affiliated
insurance companies purchased group annuity contracts from the Company to fund
pension costs and claim annuities to settle casualty claims. Substantially all
general insurance expenses related to the Company, including rent and employee
benefit plan expenses, are initially paid by The Hartford. Direct expenses are
allocated to the Company using specific identification, and indirect expenses
are allocated using other applicable methods. Indirect expenses include those
for corporate areas which, depending on type, are allocated based on either a
percentage of direct expenses or on utilization. Indirect expenses allocated to
the Company by The Hartford were $47 in both 1999 and 1998 and $39 in 1997.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
(A) LITIGATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company is involved in pending and threatened litigation
in the normal course of its business in which claims for alleged economic and
punitive damages have been asserted. Some of these cases have been filed as
purported class actions and some cases have been filed in certain jurisdictions
that permit punitive damage awards disproportionate to the actual damages
incurred. Although there can be no assurances, at the present time the Company
does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising from such pending or
threatened litigation, after consideration of provisions made for estimated
losses and costs of defense, will have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or operating results of the Company.
(B) GUARANTY FUNDS
Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state insurance
guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies
to policyholders and claimants. Recent regulatory actions against certain large
life insurers encountering financial difficulty have prompted various state
insurance guaranty associations to begin assessing life insurance companies for
the deemed losses. Most of these laws do provide, however, that an assessment
may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's solvency and
further provide annual limits on such assessments. Part of the assessments paid
by the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to these laws may be used as
credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes. The Company paid guaranty
fund assessments of approximately $2, $9 and $15 in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, of which $1 in 1999 and $4 in both 1998 and 1997 were estimated to
be creditable against premium taxes.
(C) LEASES
The rent paid to Hartford Fire for space occupied by the Company was $9 in 1999
and $7 in both 1998 and 1997. Future minimum rental commitments are as follows:

The principal executive offices of Hartford Life Insurance Company, together
with its parent, are located in Simsbury, Connecticut. Rental expense is
recognized on a level basis over the term of the primary sublease for the
facility located in Simsbury, Connecticut, which expires on December 31, 2009,
and amounted to approximately $9 in each of the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997.
(D) TAX MATTERS
Hartford Life's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal
Revenue Service. Hartford Life's 1996-1997 federal income tax returns are
currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service. Management believes that
sufficient provision has been made in the financial statements for issues that
may result from tax examinations and other tax related matters for all open tax
years.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company is organized into three reportable operating
segments which include Investment Products, Individual Life and Corporate Owned
Life Insurance (COLI). Investment Products offers individual fixed and variable
annuities, mutual funds, retirement plan services other investment products.
Individual Life sells a variety of life insurance products, including variable
life, universal life, interest sensitive whole life and term life insurance.
COLI primarily offers variable products used by employers to fund non-qualified
benefits or other post-employment benefit obligations as well as leveraged COLI.
The Company includes in "Other" corporate items not directly allocable to any of
its reportable operating segments, as well as certain employee benefit products
including group life and disability insurance that is directly written by the
Company and is substantially ceded to its parent, HLA.
The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2.
Hartford Life Insurance Company evaluates performance of its segments based on
revenues, net income and the segment's return on allocated capital. The Company
charges direct operating expenses to the appropriate segment and allocates the
majority of indirect expenses to the segments based on an intercompany expense
arrangement. Intersegment revenues are not significant and primarily occur
between corporate and the operating segments. These amounts include interest
income on allocated surplus and the amortization of net realized capital gains
and losses through net investment income utilizing the duration of the segment's
investment portfolios. The Company's revenues are primarily derived from
customers within the United States. The Company's long-lived assets primarily
consist of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred tax assets from within
the United States. The following tables outlines summarized financial
information concerning the Company's segments.
