- ------------------------------
(1) Length of time from premium payment.
(2) The Annual Contract Fee is a single $30 charge on a Contract. It is deducted
proportionally from the investment options in use at the time of the charge.
Pursuant to requirements of the 1940 Act, the Annual Contract Fee has been
reflected in the Examples by a method intended to show the "average" impact
of the Annual Contract Fee on an investment in the Separate Account. The
Annual Contract Fee is deducted only when the accumulated value is $50,000
or less. In the Example, the Annual Contract Fee is approximated as a 0.08%
annual asset charge based on the experience of the Contracts.
(3) In 1995, a portion of the International Advisers Fund management fees were
waived. With this waiver, the 1995 total fund operating expenses ratio was
.650%. Due to asset growth, no management fee waiver is needed in 1996.
(4) Small Company Fund is a new Fund: operating expenses are based on annualized
estimates of such expenses to be incurred in the current fiscal year. HIMCO
has agreed to waive its fees for the Small Company Fund until the assets of
this Fund (excluding assets contributed by companies affiliated with HIMCO)
first reach $20 million. Without this waiver, the investment advisory fee
would be .575% annually, total operating expense without the waiver would be
.90% annually.
(5) The Securities and Exchange Commission requires only 1 and 3 years since
this an estimate of expenses incurred.

INTRODUCTION
This Prospectus has been designed to provide you with the necessary
information to make a decision on purchasing an individual or group tax deferred
Variable Annuity Contract offered by ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
Company ("ITT Hartford") in the Fixed Account and/ or a series of Separate
Account One. (See "ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company" page 7; "The
Contracts" page 11; and "The Separate Account" page 7.) Please read the Special
Terms on pages 2 and 3 prior to reading this Prospectus to familiarize yourself
with the terms being used.
The Contracts are available for purchase by individuals and groups on both a
non-qualified and qualified basis. The maximum issue age for the Contract is 85
years old. (See "The Contracts" page 11.) Generally, the minimum initial Premium
Payment is $1,000. Thereafter, the minimum payment is $500. There is no
deduction for sales expenses from Premium Payments when made. A deduction will
be made for state Premium Taxes for Contracts sold in certain states. (See
"Charges Under the Contracts" page 13.)
Generally, the Contracts are purchased by completing and submitting an
application or an order to purchase, along with the initial Premium Payment, to
ITT Hartford for its approval. Generally, a Contract Owner may exercise his
right to cancel the Contract within 10 days of delivery of the Contract by
returning the Contract to ITT Hartford at its Home Office. If the Contract Owner
exercises his right to cancel, ITT Hartford will return either the Contract
Value or the original Premium Payments to the Contract Owner. The duration of
the right to cancel period and ITT Hartford's obligation to either return the
Contract Value or the original Premium Payment will depend on state law.
The investment options for the contracts are the Hartford Advisers Fund,
Inc., Hartford Bond Fund, Inc., Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc.,
Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Inc., Hartford Index Fund, Inc., Hartford
International Advisers Fund, Inc., Hartford International Opportunities Fund,
Inc., Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc., Hartford Small Company Fund,

limitations, Contract Owners may allocate their Premium Payments and Contract
Values to one or a combination of these investment options and transfer among
the investment options. (See "Transfers Between Sub-Accounts/ Fixed Account"
page 12.)
An Annual Maintenance Fee in the amount of $30.00 is deducted from Contract
Values each Contract Year (not applicable to Contracts with Account Values of
$50,000 or more) and there is a 1.25% per annum mortality and expense risk
charge applied against all Contract Values held in the Separate Account. (See
"Charges Under the Contracts" page 13). Finally, the Funds are subject to
certain fees, charges and expenses (see the prospectus for the Funds attached
hereto).
The Contracts may be surrendered, or portions of the value of such Contracts
may be withdrawn, at any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. (See
"Surrender Benefits" page 15). However, a contingent deferred sales charge may
be assessed against Contract Values when they are surrendered. Contingent
deferred sales charges will not be assessed in certain instances, including
withdrawals up to the annual withdrawal amount and the payment of Death
Benefits. (See "Charges Under the Contracts" page 13.)
The Contract provides for a minimum death benefit in the event of the death
of the Annuitant or Contract Owner before Annuity payments have commenced (see
"Death Benefits" page 14). Various annuity options are available under the
Contract for election by the Contract Owner on either a fixed or variable basis.
In the absence of an annuity option election, the Contract Value (less
applicable Premium Taxes) will be applied on the Annuity Commencement Date to
provide a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain (see "Annuity Benefits"
page 16).
ITT HARTFORD, SEPARATE
ACCOUNT ONE,
THE FIXED ACCOUNT,
AND THE FUNDS
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY
INSURANCE COMPANY
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ITT Hartford"), formerly
ITT Life Insurance Corporation was originally incorporated under the laws of
Wisconsin on January 9, 1956. ITT Hartford was redomiciled to Connecticut on May
1, 1996. It is a stock life insurance company engaged on the business of writing
both individual and group life insurance and annuities in all states including
the District of Columbia, except New York. The offices of ITT Hartford are
located in Minneapolis, Minnesota; however, its mailing address is P.O. Box
5085, Hartford, Connecticut 06102-5085.
ITT Hartford is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance
Company. ITT Hartford is ultimately 100% owned by Hartford Fire Insurance
Company, one of the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United
States. On December 20, 1995, Hartford Fire Insurance
<PAGE>
8 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company became an independent, publicly traded corporation.
ITT Hartford is rated A+ (superior) from A.M. Best and Company, Inc. on the
basis of its financial soundness and operating performance. ITT Hartford is
rated AA+ by both Standard & Poor's and Duff and Phelps on the basis of its
claims paying ability.
These ratings do not apply to the performance of the Separate Account.
However, the Contractual obligations under this variable annuity are the general
corporate obligations of ITT Hartford. These ratings do apply to ITT Hartford's
ability to meet its insurance obligations under the Contract.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ONE
The Separate Account was established on May 20, 1991. It is the Separate
Account in which ITT Hartford sets aside and invests the assets attributable to
variable annuity Contracts, including the Contracts sold under this Prospectus.
Separate Account assets are held by ITT Hartford under a safekeeping
arrangement. Although the Separate Account is an integral part of ITT Hartford,
it is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of
1940. This registration does not, however, involve Securities and Exchange
Commission supervision of the management or the investment practices or policies
of the Separate Account or ITT Hartford. The Separate Account meets the
definition of "separate account" under federal securities law.
Your investment in the Separate Account is allocated to one or more
Sub-Accounts as per your specifications. Each Sub-Account is invested
exclusively in the assets of one underlying Fund. ITT Hartford reserves the
right, subject to compliance with the law, 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 Commission.
Net Premium Payments and proceeds of transfers between Sub-Accounts are
applied to purchase shares in the appropriate Fund at net asset value determined
as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the payments were received or
the transfer made. All distributions from the Fund are reinvested at net asset
value. The value of your investment will therefore vary in accordance with the
net income and fluctuation in the individual investments within the underlying
Fund portfolio or portfolios. During the Variable Annuity payout period, both
your Annuity payments and reserve values will vary in accordance with these
factors.
Under Connecticut law, the assets of the Separate Account attributable to
the Contracts offered under this Prospectus are held for the benefit of the
owners of, and the persons entitled to payments under, those Contracts. Income,
gains, and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the
Separate Account, are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to or charged
against the Separate Account. Also, the assets in the Separate Account are not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business ITT Hartford may
conduct. Contract Values allocated to the Separate Account is not affected by
the rate of return of ITT Hartford's General Account, nor by the investment
performance of any of ITT Hartford's other separate accounts. The Separate
Account may be subject to liabilities arising from a Series of the Separate
Account whose assets are attributable to other variable annuity Contracts or
variable life insurance policies offered by the Separate Account which are not
described in this Prospectus. However, all obligations arising under the
Contracts are general corporate obligations of ITT Hartford.
ITT Hartford does not guarantee the investment results of the Separate
Accounts or any of the underlying investments. There is no assurance that the
value of a Contract during the years prior to retirement or the aggregate amount
of the Variable Annuity payments will equal the total of Premium Payments made
under the Contract. Since each underlying Fund has different investment
objectives, each is subject to different risks. These risks are more fully
described in the accompanying Fund prospectus.
THE FUNDS
All of the Funds are sponsored by Hartford Life Insurance Company, an
affiliate of ITT Hartford and were incorporated under the laws of the State of
Maryland.
The Hartford Investment Management Company ("HIMCO") serves as investment
manager or adviser to each of the Funds. In addition, Wellington Management
Company ("Wellington Management") serve as sub-investment adviser to certain of

VOTING RIGHTS: ITT Hartford is the legal owner of all Fund shares held in
the Separate Account. As the owner, ITT Hartford has the right to vote at the
Funds' shareholder meetings. However, to the extent required by federal
securities laws or regulations, ITT Hartford will:
1. Vote all Fund shares attributable to a Contract according to
instructions received from the Contract Owner, and
2. Vote shares attributable to a Contract for which no voting instructions
are received in the same proportion as shares for which instructions are
received.
If any federal securities laws or regulations, or their present
interpretation change to permit ITT Hartford to vote Fund shares in its own
right, ITT Hartford may elect to do so.
ITT Hartford will send proxy materials and a form of instruction by means of
which you can instruct ITT Hartford with respect to the voting of the Fund
shares held for your account.
* "STANDARD & POOR'S-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-", "S&P-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-", "S&P
500-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-", "STANDARD & POOR'S 500", AND "500" ARE TRADEMARKS
OF THE MCGRAW-HILL
COMPANIES, INC. AND HAVE BEEN LICENSED FOR USE BY HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY. THE INDEX FUND IS NOT SPONSORED, ENDORSED, SOLD OR PROMOTED

ADVISABILITY OF INVESTING IN THE INDEX FUND.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with the voting of Fund shares held by it, ITT Hartford will
arrange for the handling and tallying of proxies received from Contract Owners.
ITT Hartford as such, shall have no right, except as hereinafter provided, to
vote any Fund shares held by it hereunder which may be registered in its name or
the names of its nominees. ITT Hartford will, however, vote the Fund shares held
by it in accordance with the instructions received from the Contract Owners for
whose accounts the Fund shares are held. If a Contract Owner desires to attend
any meeting at which shares held for the Contract Owner's benefit may be voted,
the Contract Owner may request ITT Hartford to furnish a proxy or otherwise
arrange for the exercise of voting rights with respect to the Fund shares held
for such Contract Owner's account. ITT Hartford will vote shares for which no
instructions have been given and shares which are not attributable to Contract
Owners (i.e. shares owned by ITT Hartford) in the same proportion as it votes
shares of that Fund for which it has received instructions. During the Annuity
period under a Contract the number of votes will decrease as the assets held to
fund Annuity benefits decrease.
The Funds are available only to serve as the underlying investment for
variable annuity and variable life insurance Contracts issued by ITT Hartford.
It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts to
invest in the Funds simultaneously. Although ITT Hartford and the Funds do not
currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable annuity Contract
Owners or to variable life insurance Policyowners, the Funds' Board of Directors
intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between
such Contract Owners and Policyowners and to determine what action, if any,
should be taken in response thereto. If the Board of Directors of the Funds were
to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and
variable annuity separate accounts, the variable annuity Contract Owners would
not bear any expenses attendant to the establishment of such separate funds.
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
THAT PORTION OF THE CONTRACT RELATING TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 ("1933 ACT") AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT
REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
("1940 ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED ACCOUNT NOR ANY INTERESTS THEREIN
ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF THE 1933 ACT OR THE 1940 ACT,
AND THE DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE
STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURE ABOUT
THE FIXED ACCOUNT MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF
THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS REGARDING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF
DISCLOSURE.
Premium Payments and Contract Values allocated to the Fixed Account become a
part of the general assets of ITT Hartford. ITT Hartford invests the assets of
the General Account in accordance with applicable law governing the investments
of Insurance Company General Accounts.
Currently, ITT Hartford guarantees that it will credit interest at a rate of
not less than 3% per year, compounded annually, to amounts allocated to the
Fixed Account under the Contracts. However, ITT Hartford reserves the right to
change the rate according to state insurance law. ITT Hartford may credit
interest at a rate in excess of 3% per year. There is no specific formula for
the determination of excess interest credits. Some of the factors that the
Company may consider in determining whether to credit excess interest to amounts
allocated to the Fixed Account and the amount thereof, are general economic
trends, rates of return currently available and anticipated on the Company's
investments, regulatory and tax requirements and competitive factors.
ANY INTEREST CREDITED TO AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IN EXCESS OF
3% PER YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE COMPANY. THE OWNER
ASSUMES THE RISK THAT INTEREST CREDITED TO FIXED ACCOUNT ALLOCATIONS MAY NOT
EXCEED THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE OF 3% FOR ANY GIVEN YEAR.
PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION
The Separate Account may advertise certain performance related information
concerning its Sub-Accounts. Performance information about a Sub-Account is
based on the Sub-Account's past performance only and is no indication of future
performance.
The Hartford Advisers Fund, Hartford Bond Fund, Hartford Capital
Appreciation Fund, Hartford Index Fund, Hartford International Advisers Fund,
Hartford International Opportunities Fund, Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund,
Hartford Small Company Fund, Hartford Stock Fund, Hartford U.S. Government Money
Market Fund, and HVA Money Market Fund Sub-Accounts may include total return in
advertisements or other sales material.
When a Sub-Account advertises its standardized total return, it will usually
be calculated for one year, five years, and ten years or some other relevant
periods if the Sub-Account has not been in existence for at least ten years.
Total return is measured by comparing the value of an
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 11
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
investment in the Sub-Account at the beginning of the relevant period to the
value of the investment at the end of the period (assuming the deduction of any
contingent deferred sales charge which would be payable if the investment were
redeemed at the end of the period).
In addition to the standardized total return, the Sub-Account may advertise
a non-standardized total return. This figure will usually be calculated for one
year, five years, and ten years or other periods. Non-standardized total return
is measured in the same manner as the standardized total return described above,
except that the contingent deferred sales charge and the Annual Maintenance Fee
are not deducted. Therefore, non-standardized total return for a Sub-Account is
higher than standardized total return for a Sub-Account.
The Hartford Bond Fund and Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund Sub-Accounts
may advertise yield in addition to total return. The yield will be computed in
the following manner: The net investment income per unit earned during a recent
one month period is divided by the unit value on the last day of the period.
This figure reflects the recurring charges at the Separate Account level
including the annual maintenance fee.
The HVA Money Market Fund Sub-Account may advertise yield and effective
yield. The yield of a Sub-Account is based upon the income earned by the
Sub-Account over a seven-day period and then annualized, i.e. the income earned
in the period is assumed to be earned every seven days over a 52-week period and
stated as a percentage of the investment. Effective yield is calculated
similarly but when annualized, the income earned by the investment is assumed to
be reinvested in Sub-Account units and thus compounded in the course of a
52-week period. Yield and effective yield reflect the recurring charges at the
Separate Account level including the annual maintenance fee.
The Separate Account may also disclose yield, standard total return, and
non-standard total return for periods prior to the date the Separate Account
commenced operations. For periods prior to the date the Separate Account
commenced operations, performance information for the Sub-Accounts will be
calculated based on the performance of the underlying Funds and the assumption
that the Sub-Accounts were in existence for the same periods as those of the
underlying Funds, with a level of charges equal to those currently assessed
against the Sub-Accounts.
ITT Hartford may provide information on various topics to Contract Owners
and prospective Contract Owners in advertising, sales literature or other
materials. These topics may include the relationship between sectors of the
economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets,
investment strategies and techniques (such as value investing, dollar cost
averaging and asset allocation), the advantages and disadvantages of investing
in tax-advantaged and taxable instruments, customer profiles and hypothetical
purchase scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement planning, and
other investment alternatives, including comparisons between the Contracts and
the characteristics of and market for such alternatives.
THE CONTRACTS
CONTRACTS OFFERED
The Contracts are individual or group tax deferred Variable Annuity
Contracts designed for retirement planning purposes and may be purchased by any
individual, group or trust, including any trustee or custodian for a retirement
plan qualified under Sections 401(a) or 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code;
annuity purchase plans adopted by public school systems and certain tax-exempt
organizations according to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code;
Individual Retirement Annuities adopted according to Section 408 of the Internal
Revenue Code; employee pension plans established for employees by a state, a
political subdivision of a state, or an agency or instrumentality of either a
state or a political subdivision of a state, and certain eligible deferred
compensation plans as defined in Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code
("Qualified Contracts").
PREMIUM PAYMENTS AND INITIAL ALLOCATIONS
The minimum initial Premium Payment is $1,000. Thereafter, the minimum
Premium Payment is $500. Certain plans may make smaller periodic payments. Each
Premium Payment may be split among the various Sub-Accounts and/or the Fixed
Account subject to minimum amounts then in effect.
REFUND RIGHTS: If you are not satisfied with your purchase you may surrender
the Contract by returning it within ten days (or longer in some states) after
you receive it. A written request for cancellation must accompany the Contract.
In such event, ITT Hartford will, without deduction for any charges normally
assessed thereunder, pay you an amount equal to the Contract Value on the date
of receipt of the request for cancellation. You bear the investment risk during
the period prior to the Company's receipt of request for cancellation. ITT
Hartford will refund the premium paid only for individual retirement annuities
(if returned within seven days of receipt) and in those states where required by
law.
CREDITING AND VALUATION: The balance of each initial Premium Payment
remaining after the deduction of any applicable Premium Tax is credited to your
Contract within two business days of receipt of a properly completed application
or an order to purchase a Contract and the initial
<PAGE>
12 ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Premium Payment by ITT Hartford at its Home Office, P.O. Box 5085, Hartford, CT
06102-5085. It will be credited to the Sub-Account(s) and/or the Fixed Account
in accordance with your election. If the application or other information is
incomplete when received, the balance of each initial Premium Payment, after
deduction of any applicable Premium Tax, will be credited to the Sub-Account(s)
or the Fixed Account within five business days of receipt. If the initial
Premium Payment is not credited within five business days, the Premium Payment
will be immediately returned unless you have been informed of the delay and
request that the Premium Payment not be returned.
The number of Accumulation Units in each Sub-Account to be credited to a
Contract will be determined by dividing the portion of the Premium Payment being
credited to each Sub-Account by the value of an Accumulation Unit in that
Sub-Account on that date.
Subsequent Premium Payments are priced on the Valuation Day received by ITT
Hartford in its Home Office, or other designated administrative offices.
CONTRACT VALUE
The value of the Sub-Account investments under your Contract at any time
prior to the commencement of Annuity payments can be determined by multiplying
the total number of Accumulation Units credited to your Contract in each
Sub-Account by the then current Accumulation Unit values for the applicable
Sub-Account. The value of the Fixed Account under your Contract will be the
amount allocated to the Fixed Account plus interest credited. You will be
advised at least semiannually of the number of Accumulation Units credited to
each Sub-Account, the current Accumulation Unit values, the Fixed Account value,
and the total value of your Contract.
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 a "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 dividends or capital gains distributed by that
Fund if the ex-dividend date occurs 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. You should refer to the prospectus for each of the Funds
which accompanies this Prospectus for a description of how the assets of each
Fund are valued since each determination has a direct bearing on the
Accumulation Unit value of the Sub-Account and therefore the value of a
Contract. The Accumulation Unit Value is affected by the performance of the
underlying Fund(s), expenses and deduction of the charges described in this
Prospectus.
VALUATION OF FUND SHARES: The shares of the Fund are valued at net asset
value on each Valuation Day. A complete description of the valuation method used
in valuing Fund shares may be found in the accompanying prospectus of the Funds.
VALUATION OF THE FIXED ACCOUNT: ITT Hartford will determine the value of the
Fixed Account by crediting interest to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account.
TRANSFERS BETWEEN SUB-ACCOUNTS/
FIXED ACCOUNT
You may transfer the values of your Sub-Account allocations from one or more
Sub-Accounts to another free of charge. However, ITT Hartford reserves the right
to limit the number of transfers to twelve (12) per Contract Year, with no two
(2) transfers occurring on consecutive Valuation Days. Transfers by telephone
may be made by a Contract Owner or by the attorney-in-fact pursuant to a power
of attorney by calling (800) 862-6668 or by the agent of record by calling (800)
862-7155. Telephone transfers may not be permitted by some states for their
residents who purchase variable annuities.
The policy of ITT Hartford and its agents and affiliates is that they will
not be responsible for losses resulting from acting upon telephone requests
reasonably believed to be genuine. ITT Hartford will employ reasonable
procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine;
otherwise, ITT Hartford may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent instructions. The procedures ITT Hartford follows for transactions
initiated by telephone include requirements that callers provide certain
information for identification purposes. All transfer instructions by telephone
are tape recorded.
ITT Hartford may permit the Contract Owner to preauthorize transfers among
Sub-Accounts and between Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account under certain
circumstances. Transfers between the Sub-Accounts may be made both before and
after Annuity payments commence (limited to once a quarter) provided that the
minimum allocation to any Sub-Account may not be less than $500. No minimum
balance is required in any Sub-Account.
It is the responsibility of the Contract Owner or Participant to verify the
accuracy of all confirmations of transfers and to promptly advise ITT Hartford
of any inaccuracies within one business day of receipt of the confirmation. ITT
Hartford will send the Contract Owner a confirmation of the transfer within five
(5) days from the date of any instruction.
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transfers from the Fixed Account into a Sub-Account may be made at any time
during the Contract Year. The maximum amount which may be transferred from the
Fixed Account during any Contract Year is the greater of 30% of the Fixed
Account balance as of the last Contract Anniversary or the greatest amount of
any prior transfer from the Fixed Account. If ITT Hartford permits preauthorized
transfers from the Fixed Account to the Sub-Accounts, this restriction is
inapplicable. Also, if any interest rate is renewed at a rate of at least one
percentage point less than the previous rate, the Contract Owner may elect to
transfer up to 100% of the funds receiving the reduced rate within 60 days of
notification of the interest rate decrease. Generally, transfers may not be made
from any Sub-Account into the Fixed Account for the six-month period following
any transfer from the Fixed Account into one or more of the Sub-Accounts. ITT
Hartford reserves the right to defer transfers from the Fixed Account for up to
six months from the date of request.
Subject to the exceptions set forth in the following paragraph, the right to
reallocate Contract Values is subject to modification if ITT Hartford
determines, in its sole opinion, that the exercise of that right by one or more
Contract Owners is, or would be, to the disadvantage of other Contract Owners.
Any modification could be applied to transfers to or from some or all of the
Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account and could include, but not be limited to, the
requirement of a minimum time period between each transfer, not accepting
transfer requests of an agent acting under a power of attorney on behalf of more
than one Contract Owner, or limiting the dollar amount that may be transferred
between the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account by a Contract Owner at any one
time. Such restrictions may be applied in any manner reasonably designed to
prevent any use of the transfer right which is considered by ITT Hartford to be
to the disadvantage of other Contract Owners.
Currently, and with respect to Contracts issued in all states, the only
restriction in effect is that ITT Hartford will not accept instructions from
agents acting under a power of attorney of multiple Contract Owners whose
accounts aggregate more than $2 million, unless the agent has entered into a
third party transfer services agreement with ITT Hartford.
CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACTS
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES: There is no deduction for sales expenses
from Premium Payments when made. However, a contingent deferred sales charge may
be assessed against Contract Values when they are surrendered. The length of
time from receipt of a Premium Payment to the time of surrender determines the
contingent deferred sales charge. Premium payments will be deemed to be
surrendered in the order in which they were received.
PAYMENTS SUBJECT TO SALES CHARGES DURING THE FIRST SEVEN CONTRACT
YEARS: During the first seven Contract years, a contingent deferred sales charge
will be assessed against the surrender of the Premium Payments. All surrenders
will be first from Premium Payments and then from other Contract Values.
AFTER THE SEVENTH CONTRACT YEAR: After the seventh Contract year, all
surrenders will first be from earnings and then from premium payments. A
contingent deferred sales charge will not be assessed against the surrender of
earnings. If an amount equal to all earnings has been surrendered, a contingent
deferred sales charge will not be assessed against premium payments received
more than seven years prior to surrender, but will be assessed against premium
payments received less than seven years prior to surrender.
The charge is a percentage of the amount withdrawn (not to exceed the
aggregate amount of the Premium Payments made) and equals:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
LENGTH OF TIME
CHARGE FROM PREMIUM PAYMENT
------ --------------------
(NUMBER OF YEARS)
<S> <C>
6% 1
6% 2
5% 3
5% 4
4% 5
3% 6
2% 7
0% 8 or more
</TABLE>
PAYMENTS NOT SUBJECT TO SALES CHARGES: During the first seven Contract
Years, on a non-cumulative basis, a Contract Owner may make a partial surrender
of Contract Values of up to 10% of the aggregate Premium Payments made to the
Contract (as determined on the date of the requested withdrawal) without the
application of the contingent deferred sales charge. After the seventh Contract
year, the Contract Owner may make a partial surrender of 10% of premium payments
made during the seven years prior to the surrender and 100% of the Contract
Value less the premium payments made during the seven years prior to the
surrender. The amounts not subject to sales charges are known as the Annual
Withdrawal Amount. The Annual Withdrawal Amount is the amount which can be
withdrawn in any Contract Year prior to incurring sales charges. An Extended
Withdrawal Privilege rider allows an Annuitant who attains age 70 1/2 under a
Qualified Plan to withdraw an amount in excess of the Annual Withdrawal Amount
to comply with IRS minimum distribution rules.
Certain plans or programs may have different withdrawal privileges. Any such
withdrawal will be deemed to be from Contract Values other than Premium
Payments. From time to time, ITT Hartford may permit the Contract Owner to
preauthorize partial surrenders subject to certain limitations then in effect.
Additional surrenders or any surrender
<PAGE>
14 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of the Contract Values in excess of such amount in any Contract Year during the
period when contingent deferred sales charges are applicable will be subject to
the appropriate charge.
No contingent deferred sales charges otherwise applicable will be assessed
in the event of death of the Annuitant, death of the Contract Owner or if
payments are made under an Annuity option (other than a surrender out of Option
4) provided for under the Contract.
PURPOSE OF SALES CHARGES: The contingent deferred sales charges are used to
cover expenses relating to the sale and distribution of the Contracts, including
commissions paid to any distribution organization and its sales personnel, the
cost of preparing sales literature and other promotional activities. To the
extent that these charges do not cover such distribution expenses they will be
borne by ITT Hartford from its general assets, including surplus. The surplus
might include profits resulting from unused mortality and expense risk charges.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: Although Variable Annuity payments made
under the Contracts will vary in accordance with the investment performance of
the underlying Fund shares held in the Sub-Account(s), the payments will not be
affected by (a) ITT Hartford's actual mortality experience among Annuitants
before or after the Annuity Commencement Date or (b) ITT Hartford's actual
expenses, if greater than the deductions provided for in the Contracts because
of the expense and mortality undertakings by ITT Hartford.
For assuming these risks under the Contracts, ITT Hartford will make a daily
charge at the rate of 1.25% per annum against all Contract Values held in the
Sub-Accounts during the life of the Contract (estimated at .90% for mortality
and .35% for expense).
The mortality undertakings provided by ITT Hartford under the Contracts,
assuming the selection of one of the forms of life Annuities, is to make monthly
Annuity payments (determined in accordance with the 1983a Individual Annuity
Mortality Table and other provisions contained in the Contract) to Annuitants
regardless of how long an Annuitant may live, and regardless of how long all
Annuitants as a group may live. ITT Hartford also assumes the liability for
payment of a minimum death benefit under the Contract.
The mortality undertakings are based on ITT Hartford's determination of
expected mortality rates among all Annuitants. If actual experience among
Annuitants during the Annuity payment period deviates from ITT Hartford's
actuarial determination of expected mortality rates among Annuitants because, as
a group, their longevity is longer than anticipated, ITT Hartford must provide
amounts from its general funds to fulfill its Contract obligations. ITT Hartford
will bear the loss in such a situation. Also, in the event of the death of an
Annuitant or Contract Owner before commencement of Annuity payments, ITT
Hartford can, in periods of declining value or in periods where the contingent
deferred sales loads would have been applicable, experience a loss resulting
from the assumption of the mortality risk relative to the guaranteed death
benefit.
In providing an expense undertaking, ITT Hartford assumes the risk that the
contingent deferred sales charges and the Annual Maintenance Fee for maintaining
the Contracts prior to the Annuity Commencement Date may be insufficient to
cover the actual cost of providing such items.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE: Each year, on each Contract Anniversary on or before
the Annuity Commencement Date, ITT Hartford will deduct an Annual Maintenance
Fee, if applicable, from Contract Values to reimburse it for expenses relating
to the maintenance of the Contract, the Fixed Account, and the Sub-Account(s)
thereunder. If during a Contract Year the Contract is surrendered for its full
value, ITT Hartford will deduct the Annual Maintenance Fee at the time of such
surrender. The fee is a flat fee which will be due in the full amount regardless
of the time of the Contract Year that Contract Values are surrendered. The
Annual Maintenance Fee is $30.00 per Contract Year for Contracts with less than
$50,000 Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary. The deduction will be made
pro rata according to the value in each Sub-Account and the Fixed Account under
a Contract.
PREMIUM TAXES: A deduction is also made for Premium Tax, if applicable,
imposed by a state or other governmental entity. Certain states impose a Premium
Tax, currently ranging up to 3.5%. Some states assess the tax at the time
purchase payments are made; others assess the tax at the time of annuitization.
ITT Hartford will pay Premium Taxes at the time imposed under applicable law. At
its sole discretion, ITT Hartford may deduct Premium Taxes at the time ITT
Hartford pays such taxes to the applicable taxing authorities, at the time the
Contract is surrendered, or at the time the Contract annuitizes.
EXCEPTIONS: ITT Hartford may offer, in its discretion, reduced fees and
charges including, but not limited to, the contingent deferred sales charges,
the mortality and expense risk charge and the maintenance fee for certain sales
(including employer sponsored savings plans) under circumstances which may
result in savings of certain costs and expenses. Reductions in these fees and
charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any Contract Owner.
DEATH BENEFITS
The Contracts provide that in the event the Annuitant dies before the
selected Annuity Commencement Date, the
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 15
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contingent Annuitant will become the Annuitant. If the Annuitant dies before the
Annuity Commencement Date and either (a) there is no designated Contingent
Annuitant, (b) the Contingent Annuitant predeceases the Annuitant, or (c) if any
Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Beneficiary as
determined under the Contract Control Provisions, will receive the Death Benefit
as determined on the date of receipt of due proof of death by ITT Hartford in
its Home Office. With regard to Joint Contract Owners, at the first death of a
joint Contract Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Beneficiary
will be the surviving Contract Owner notwithstanding that the Beneficiary
designation may be different.
GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT: If, upon death prior to the Annuity Commencement
Date, the Annuitant or Contract Owner, as applicable, had not attained his 90th
birthday, the Beneficiary will receive the greatest of (a) the Contract Value
determined as of the day written proof of death of such person is received by
ITT Hartford, or (b) 100% of the total Premium Payments made to such Contract,
reduced by any prior surrenders, or (c) the Maximum Anniversary Value
immediately preceding the date of death. The Maximum Anniversary Value is equal
to the greatest Anniversary Value attained from the following:
As of the date of receipt of due proof of death, the Company will calculate
an Anniversary Value for each Contract Anniversary prior to the deceased's
attained age 81. The Anniversary Value is equal to the Contract Value on a
Contract Anniversary, increased by the dollar amount of any premium payments
made since that anniversary and reduced by the dollar amount of any partial
surrenders since that anniversary.
If the deceased, the Annuitant or Contract Owner, as applicable, had
attained age 90, then the Death Benefit will equal the Contract Value.
PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT: Death Benefit proceeds will remain invested in the
Separate Account in accordance with the allocation instructions given by the
Contract Owner until the proceeds are paid or ITT Hartford receives new
instructions from the Beneficiary. The death benefit may be taken in one sum,
payable within 7 days after the date Due Proof of Death is received, or under
any of the settlement options then being offered by the Company provided,
however, that: (a) in the event of the death of any Contract Owner prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date, the entire interest in the Contract will be
distributed within 5 years after the death of the Contract Owner and (b) in the
event of the death of any Contract Owner or Annuitant which occurs on or after
the Annuity Commencement Date, any remaining interest in the Contract will be
paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the
time of death, or, if the benefit is payable over a period not extending beyond
the life expectancy of the Beneficiary or over the life of the Beneficiary, such
distribution must commence within one year of the date of death. The proceeds
due on the death may be applied to provide variable payments, fixed payments, or
a combination of variable and fixed payments.
However, in the event of the Contract Owner's death where the sole
Beneficiary is the spouse of the Contract Owner and the Annuitant or Contingent
Annuitant is living, such spouse may elect, in lieu of receiving the death
benefit, to be treated as the Contract Owner. The Contract Value and the Maximum
Anniversary Value of the Contract will be unaffected by treating the spouse as
the Contract Owner.
If the Contract is owned by a corporation or other non-individual, the Death
Benefit payable upon the death of the Annuitant prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date will be payable only as one sum or under the same settlement
options and in the same manner as if an individual Contract Owner died on the
date of the Annuitant's death.
There may be postponement in the payment of Death Benefits whenever (a) the
New York Stock Exchange is closed, except for holidays or weekends, or trading
on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission; (b) the Securities and Exchange Commission permits
postponement and so orders; or (c) the Securities and Exchange Commission
determines that an emergency exists making valuation of the amounts or disposal
of securities not reasonably practicable.
GROUP UNALLOCATED CONTRACTS: ITT Hartford requires that detailed accounting
of cumulative purchase payments, cumulative gross surrenders, and current
Contract Value attached to each Plan Participant be submitted on an annual basis
by the Contract Owner. Failure to submit accurate data satisfactory to ITT
Hartford will give ITT Hartford the right to terminate this extension of
benefits.
SURRENDER BENEFITS
FULL SURRENDERS: At any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date (and
after the Annuity Commencement Date with respect to values applied to Option 4
or 5), the Contract Owner has the right to terminate the Contract. In such
event, the Termination Value of the Contract may be taken in the form of a lump
sum cash settlement.
Under any of the Annuity options excluding Options 4 and 5, no surrenders
are permitted after Annuity payments commence. Only full surrenders are allowed
out of Option 4 and any such surrender will be subject to contingent deferred
sales charges, if applicable. Full or partial withdrawals may be made from
Option 5 at any time and contingent deferred sales charges will not be applied.
The Termination Value of the Contract is equal to the Contract Value less
any applicable Premium Taxes, the
<PAGE>
16 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual Maintenance Fee if applicable and any applicable contingent deferred
sales charges. The Termination Value may be more or less than the amount of the
Premium Payments made to a Contract.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS: The Contract Owner may make a partial surrender of
Contract Values at any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date so long as
the amount surrendered is at least equal to the minimum amount rules then in
effect. Additionally, if the remaining Contract Value following a surrender is
less than $500, ITT Hartford may terminate the Contract and pay the Termination
Value. For Contracts issued in Texas, there is an additional requirement that
the Contract will not be terminated when the remaining Contract Value after a
surrender is less than $500 unless there were no Premium Payments made during
the previous two Contract Years.
In requesting a partial withdrawal you should specify the Sub-Account(s)
and/or the Fixed Account from which the partial withdrawal is to be taken.
Otherwise, such withdrawal and any applicable contingent deferred sales charges
will be effected on a pro rata basis according to the value in the Fixed Account
and each Sub-Account under a Contract.
ITT Hartford may permit the Contract Owner to preauthorize partial
surrenders subject to certain limitations then in effect.
PAYMENT OF SURRENDER BENEFITS: Payment on any request for a full or partial
surrender from the Sub-Accounts will be made as soon as possible and in any
event no later than seven days after the written request is received by ITT
Hartford at its Home Office, Attn: Individual Annuity Services, P.O. Box 5085,
Hartford, CT 06102-5085. ITT Hartford may defer payment of any amounts from the
Fixed Account for up to six months from the date of the request for surrender.
If ITT Hartford defers payment for more than 30 days, ITT Hartford will pay
interest of at least 3% per annum on the amount deferred.
There may be postponement in the payment of Surrender Benefits whenever (a)
the New York Stock Exchange is closed, except for holidays or weekends, or
trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission; (b) the Securities and Exchange Commission
permits postponement and so orders; or (c) the Securities and Exchange
Commission determines that an emergency exists making valuation of the amounts
or disposal of securities not reasonably practicable.
CERTAIN QUALIFIED CONTRACT SURRENDERS: THERE ARE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON
SECTION 403(B) TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1988, ALL SECTION
403(B) ANNUITIES HAVE LIMITS ON FULL AND PARTIAL SURRENDERS. CONTRIBUTIONS TO
THE CONTRACT MADE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1988 AND ANY INCREASES IN CASH VALUE AFTER
DECEMBER 31, 1988 MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED UNLESS THE CONTRACT OWNER/ EMPLOYEE HAS
A) ATTAINED AGE 59 1/2, B) TERMINATED EMPLOYMENT, C) DIED, D) BECOME DISABLED OR
E) EXPERIENCED FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.
DISTRIBUTIONS DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIP OR SEPARATION FROM SERVICE MAY STILL
BE SUBJECT TO A PENALTY TAX OF 10%.
ITT HARTFORD WILL NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN DETERMINING WHETHER A
WITHDRAWAL IS PERMISSIBLE, WITH OR WITHOUT TAX PENALTY, IN ANY PARTICULAR
SITUATION; OR IN MONITORING WITHDRAWAL REQUESTS REGARDING PRE OR POST JANUARY 1,
1989 ACCOUNT VALUES.
ANY SUCH FULL OR PARTIAL SURRENDER DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY AFFECT THE CONTINUING
TAX QUALIFIED STATUS OF SOME CONTRACTS OR PLANS AND MAY RESULT IN ADVERSE TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO THE CONTRACT OWNER. THE CONTRACT OWNER, THEREFORE, SHOULD
CONSULT WITH HIS TAX ADVISER BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY SUCH SURRENDER. (SEE
"FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS" COMMENCING ON PAGE 18.)
ANNUITY BENEFITS
You select an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity option which may be
on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination thereof. The Annuity Commencement
Date will not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 90th birthday except for
certain states where deferral past age 85 is not permitted. The Annuity
Commencement Date and/or the Annuity option may be changed from time to time,
but any change must be at least 30 days prior to the date on which Annuity
payments are scheduled to begin. The Contract allows the Contract Owner to
change the Sub-Accounts on which variable payments are based after payments have
commenced once every three (3) months. Any Fixed Annuity allocation may not be
changed.
ANNUITY OPTIONS: The Contract contains the five optional Annuity forms
described below. Options 2, 4 and 5 are available to Qualified Contracts only if
the guaranteed payment period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant
at the time the option becomes effective. Such life expectancy shall be computed
on the basis of the mortality table prescribed by the IRS, or if none is
prescribed, the mortality table then in use by ITT Hartford. With respect to
Non-Qualified Contracts, if you do not elect otherwise, payments in most states
will automatically begin at the Annuitant's age 90 (with the exception of states
that do not allow deferral past age 85) under Option 2 with 120 monthly
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
payments certain. For Qualified Contracts and Contracts issued in Texas, if you
do not elect otherwise, payments will begin automatically at the Annuitant's age
90 under Option 1 to provide a life Annuity.
Under any of the Annuity options excluding Options 4 and 5, no surrenders
are permitted after Annuity payments commence. Only full surrenders are allowed
out of Option 4 and any such surrender will be subject to contingent deferred
sales charges, if applicable. Full or partial withdrawals may be made from
Option 5 at any time and contingent deferred sales charges will not be applied.
OPTION 1: LIFE ANNUITY
A life Annuity is an Annuity payable during the lifetime of the Annuitant
and terminating with the last payment preceding the death of the Annuitant. This
options offers the largest payment amount of any of the life Annuity options
since there is no guarantee of a minimum number of payments nor a provision for
a death benefit payable to a Beneficiary.
It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant to receive only one
Annuity payment if he died prior to the due date of the second Annuity payment,
two if he died before the date of the third Annuity payment, etc.
OPTION 2: LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120, 180 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN
This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an
Annuitant with the provision that payments will be made for a minimum of 120,
180 or 240 months, as elected. If, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have
been made for less than the minimum elected number of months, then the present
value as of the date of the Annuitant's death, of any remaining guaranteed
payments will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated
unless other provisions have been made and approved by ITT Hartford.
OPTION 3: JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY
An Annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a
designated second person, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the
survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the survivor.
Based on the options currently offered by Hartford Life, the Annuitant may elect
that the payment to the survivor be less than the payment made during the joint
lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated second person.
It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant and designated
second person to receive only one payment in the event of the common or
simultaneous death of the parties prior to the due date for the second payment
and so on.
OPTION 4: PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD
An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from
5 to 30 years. Under this option, you may, at any time, surrender the Contract
and receive, within seven days, the Termination Value of the Contract as
determined by ITT Hartford.
In the event of the Annuitant's death prior to the end of the designated
period, the present value as of the date of the Annuitant's death, of any
remaining guaranteed payments will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries designated unless other provisions have been made and approved by
the Company.
Option 4 is an option that does not involve life contingencies and thus no
mortality guarantee. Charges made for the mortality undertaking under the
Contracts thus provide no real benefit to a Contract Owner.
OPTION 5: DEATH BENEFIT REMAINING WITH ITT HARTFORD
Proceeds from the Death Benefit may be left with ITT Hartford for a period
not to exceed five years from the date of the Contract Owner's death prior to
the Annuity Commencement Date. These proceeds will remain in the Sub-Account(s)
to which they were allocated at the time of death unless the Beneficiary elects
to reallocate them. Full or partial withdrawals may be made at any time. In the
event of withdrawals, the remaining value will equal the Contract Value of the
proceeds left with ITT Hartford, minus any withdrawals.
ITT Hartford may offer other annuity options from time to time.
VARIABLE AND FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS: When an Annuity is effected under a
Contract, unless otherwise specified, Contract Values (less applicable Premium
Taxes) held in the Sub-Accounts will be applied to provide a Variable Annuity
based on the pro rata amount in the various Sub-Accounts. Fixed Account Contract
Values will be applied to provide a Fixed Annuity. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THE
QUESTION OF ALLOCATION OF CONTRACT VALUES (LESS APPLICABLE PREMIUM TAXES) AMONG
SUB-ACCOUNTS OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE GENERAL ACCOUNT OF ITT HARTFORD TO
MAKE CERTAIN THAT ANNUITY PAYMENTS ARE BASED ON THE INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVE BEST
SUITED TO YOUR NEEDS FOR RETIREMENT.
The minimum monthly Annuity payment is $50.00. No election may be made which
results in a first payment of less than $50.00. If at any time Annuity payments
are or become less than $50.00, ITT Hartford has the right to change the
frequency of payment to intervals that will result in payments of at least
$50.00. For New York Contracts, the minimum monthly Annuity payment is $20.00.
<PAGE>
18 ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Annuity payments are to commence, the value of the Contract is
determined as the sum of the value of the Fixed Account no earlier than the
close of business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the date the first
Annuity payment is due plus the product of the value of the Accumulation Unit of
each Sub-Account on that same day, and the number of Accumulation Units credited
to each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to commence.
VARIABLE ANNUITY: The Contract contains tables indicating the minimum dollar
amount of the first monthly payment under the optional variable forms of Annuity
for each $1,000 of value of a Sub-Account under a Contract. The first monthly
payment varies according to the form and type of Variable Payment Annuity
selected. The Contract contains Variable Payment Annuity tables derived from the
1983(a) Individual Annuity Mortality Table with ages set back one year and with
an assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 5% per annum. The total first monthly
Variable Annuity payment is determined by multiplying the value (expressed in
thousands of dollars) of a Sub-Account (less any applicable Premium Taxes) by
the amount of the first monthly payment per $1,000 of value obtained from the
tables in the Contracts.
The amount of the first monthly Variable Annuity payment is divided by the
value of an Annuity Unit for the appropriate Sub-Account no earlier than the
close of business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the day on which the
payment is due in order to determine the number of Annuity Units represented by
the first payment. This number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the Annuity
payment period, and in each subsequent month the dollar amount of the Variable
Annuity payment is determined by multiplying this fixed number of Annuity Units
by the then current Annuity Unit value.
The value of the Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account in the Separate Account
for any day is determined by multiplying the value for the preceding day by the
product of (1) the net investment factor for the day for which the Annuity Unit
value is being calculated, and (2) a factor to neutralize the assumed investment
rate of 5.00% per annum. The Annuity Unit value used in calculating the amount
of the Variable Annuity payments will be based on an Annuity Unit value
determined as of the close of business on a day no earlier than the fifth
Valuation Day preceding the date of the Annuity payment.
LEVEL VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS WOULD BE PRODUCED IF THE INVESTMENT RATE
REMAINED CONSTANT AND EQUAL TO THE A.I.R. IN FACT, PAYMENTS WILL VARY UP OR DOWN
AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN FROM THE A.I.R.
FIXED ANNUITY: Fixed Annuity payments are determined at annuitization by
multiplying the Contract Value (less applicable Premium Taxes) by a rate to be
determined by ITT Hartford which is no less than the rate specified in the Fixed
Payment Annuity tables in the Contract. The Annuity payment will remain level
for the duration of the Annuity.
OTHER INFORMATION
ASSIGNMENT: Ownership of a Contract described herein is generally
assignable. However, if the Contracts are issued pursuant to some form of
Qualified Plan, it is possible that the ownership of the Contracts may not be
transferred or assigned depending on the type of qualified retirement plan
involved. An assignment of a Non-Qualified Contract may subject the assignment
proceeds to income taxes and certain penalty taxes.
CONTRACT MODIFICATION: ITT Hartford reserves the right to modify the
Contract, but only if such modification: (i) is necessary to make the Contract
or the Separate Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a
governmental agency to which ITT Hartford is subject; or (ii) is necessary to
assure continued qualification of the Contract under the Code or other federal
or state laws relating to retirement annuities or annuity Contracts; or (iii) is
necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Separate Account or the
Sub-Account(s) or (iv) provides additional Separate Account options or (v)
withdraws Separate Account options. In the event of any such modification ITT
Hartford will provide notice to the Contract Owner or to the payee(s) during the
Annuity period. ITT Hartford may also make appropriate endorsement in the
Contract to reflect such modification.
ITT HARTFORD'S INTEREST IN FUNDS: ITT Hartford has no interest in the Funds.
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FEDERAL TAX
CONSEQUENCES WHICH AFFECT
THESE CONTRACTS?
A. GENERAL
SINCE THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY ACCORDING
TO THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE CONTRACT OWNER INVOLVED AND THE TYPE OF PLAN UNDER
WHICH THE CONTRACT IS PURCHASED, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE MAY BE NEEDED BY A PERSON,
TRUSTEE OR OTHER ENTITY CONTEMPLATING THE PURCHASE OF A CONTRACT DESCRIBED
HEREIN.
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 19
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It should be understood that any detailed description of the Federal income
tax consequences regarding the purchase of these Contracts cannot be made in
this Prospectus and that special tax rules may be applicable with respect to
certain purchase situations not discussed herein. In addition, no attempt is
made here to consider any applicable state or other tax laws. For detailed
information, a qualified tax adviser should always be consulted. The discussion
here and in Appendix I, commencing on page 24, is based on ITT Hartford's
understanding of current Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted.
B. TAXATION OF ITT HARTFORD AND
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is taxed as part of ITT Hartford which is taxed as a
life insurance company in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"). Accordingly, the Separate Account will not be taxed as a "regulated
investment company" under subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code. Investment
income and any realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account are
reinvested and are taken into account in determining the value of the
Accumulation and Annuity Units (See "Value of Accumulation Units" commencing on
page 6). As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are
automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract. No taxes are due
on interest, dividends and short-term or long-term capital gains earned by the
Separate Account with respect to Qualified or Non-Qualified Contracts.
C. TAXATION OF ANNUITIES -- GENERAL
PROVISIONS AFFECTING PURCHASERS OTHER
THAN QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS
Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code governs the taxation of annuities in
general.
1. NON-NATURAL PERSONS, CORPORATIONS, ETC.
Section 72 contains provisions for Contract Owners which are non-natural
persons. Non-natural persons include corporations, trusts, and partnerships. The
annual net increase in the value of the Contract is currently includable in the
gross income of a non-natural person unless the non-natural person holds the
Contract as an agent for a natural person. There is an exception from current
inclusion for certain annuities held by structured settlement companies, certain
annuities held by an employer with respect to a terminated qualified retirement
plan and certain immediate annuities. A non-natural person which is a tax-exempt
entity for Federal tax purposes will not be subject to income tax as a result of
this provision.
If the Contract Owner is not an individual, the primary Annuitant shall be
treated as the Contract Owner for purposes of making distributions which are
required to be made upon the death of the Contract Owner. If there is a change
in the primary Annuitant, such change shall be treated as the death of the
Contract Owner.
2. OTHER CONTRACT OWNERS (NATURAL PERSONS)
A Contract Owner is not taxed on increases in the value of the Contract
until an amount is received or deemed received, e.g., in the form of a lump sum
payment (full or partial value of a Contract) or as Annuity payments under the
settlement option elected.
The provisions of Section 72 of the Code concerning distributions are
summarized briefly below. Also summarized are special rules affecting
distributions from Contracts obtained in a tax-free exchange for other annuity
contracts or life insurance contracts which were purchased prior to August 14,
1982.
A. DISTRIBUTIONS PRIOR TO THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
i. Total premium payments less amounts received which were not includable
in gross income equal the "investment in the contract" under Section
72 of the Code.
ii. To the extent that the value of the Contract (ignoring any surrender
charges except on a full surrender) exceeds the "investment in the
contract," such excess constitutes the "income on the contract."
iii. Any amount received or deemed received prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date (e.g., upon a partial surrender) is deemed to come
first from any such "income on the contract" and then from
"investment in the contract," and for these purposes such "income on
the contract" shall be computed by reference to any aggregation rule
in subparagraph 2.c. below. As a result, any such amount received or
deemed received (1) shall be includable in gross income to the extent
that such amount does not exceed any such "income on the contract,"
and (2) shall not be includable in gross income to the extent that
such amount does exceed any such "income on the contract." If at the
time that any amount is received or deemed received there is no
"income on the contract" (e.g., because the gross value of the
Contract does not exceed the "investment in the contract" and no
aggregation rule applies), then such amount received or deemed
received will not be includable in gross income, and will simply
reduce the "investment in the contract."
iv. The receipt of any amount as a loan under the Contract or the
assignment or pledge of any portion of the value of the Contract
shall be
<PAGE>
20 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
treated as an amount received for purposes of this subparagraph a. and
the next subparagraph b.
v. In general, the transfer of the Contract, without full and adequate
consideration, will be treated as an amount received for purposes of
this subparagraph a. and the next subparagraph b. This transfer rule
does not apply, however, to certain transfers of property between
spouses or incident to divorce.
B. DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
Annuity payments made periodically after the Annuity Commencement Date are
includable in gross income to the extent the payments exceed the amount
determined by the application of the ratio of the "investment in the contract"
to the total amount of the payments to be made after the Annuity Commencement
Date (the "exclusion ratio").
i. When the total of amounts excluded from income by application of the
exclusion ratio is equal to the investment in the contract as of the
Annuity Commencement Date, any additional payments (including
surrenders) will be entirely includable in gross income.
ii. If the annuity payments cease by reason of the death of the Annuitant
and, as of the date of death, the amount of annuity payments excluded
from gross income by the exclusion ratio does not exceed the
investment in the contract as of the Annuity Commencement Date, then
the remaining portion of unrecovered investment shall be allowed as a
deduction for the last taxable year of the Annuitant.
iii. Generally, nonperiodic amounts received or deemed received after the
Annuity Commencement Date are not entitled to any exclusion ratio and
shall be fully includable in gross income. However, upon a full
surrender after such date, only the excess of the amount received
(after any surrender charge) over the remaining "investment in the
contract" shall be includable in gross income (except to the extent
that the aggregation rule referred to in the next subparagraph c. may
apply).
C. AGGREGATION OF TWO OR MORE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Contracts issued after October 21, 1988 by the same insurer (or affiliated
insurer) to the same Contract Owner within the same calendar year (other than
certain contracts held in connection with a tax-qualified retirement
arrangement) will be treated as one annuity Contract for the purpose of
determining the taxation of distributions prior to the Annuity Commencement
Date. An annuity contract received in a tax-free exchange for another annuity
contract or life insurance contract may be treated as a new Contract for this
purpose. ITT Hartford believes that for any annuity subject to such aggregation,
the values under the Contracts and the investment in the contracts will be added
together to determine the taxation under subparagraph 2.a., above, of amounts
received or deemed received prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. Withdrawals
will first be treated as withdrawals of income until all of the income from all
such Contracts is withdrawn. As of the date of this Prospectus, there are no
regulations interpreting this provision.
D. 10% PENALTY TAX -- APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN WITHDRAWALS AND ANNUITY PAYMENTS
i. If any amount is received or deemed received on the Contract (before
or after the Annuity Commencement Date), the Code applies a penalty
tax equal to ten percent of the portion of the amount includable in
gross income, unless an exception applies.
ii. The 10% penalty tax will not apply to the following distributions
(exceptions vary based upon the precise plan involved):
1. Distributions made on or after the date the recipient has attained
the age of 59 1/2.
2. Distributions made on or after the death of the holder or where the
holder is not an individual, the death of the primary annuitant.
3. Distributions attributable to a recipient's becoming disabled.
4. A distribution that is part of a scheduled series of substantially
equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the
recipient (or the joint lives or life expectancies of the recipient
and the recipient's Beneficiary).
5. Distributions of amounts which are allocable to the "investment in
the contract" prior to August 14, 1982 (see next subparagraph e.).
E. SPECIAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING CONTRACTS OBTAINED THROUGH A TAX-FREE
EXCHANGE OF OTHER ANNUITY OR LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS PURCHASED PRIOR TO
AUGUST 14, 1982
If the Contract was obtained by a tax-free exchange of a life insurance or
annuity Contract purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any amount received or
deemed received prior to the Annuity Commencement Date shall be deemed to come
(1) first from the amount of the "investment in the contract" prior to August
14, 1982 ("pre-8/14/82 investment") carried over from the prior
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 21
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contract, (2) then from the portion of the "income on the contract" (carried
over to, as well as accumulating in, the successor Contract) that is
attributable to such pre-8/14/82 investment, (3) then from the remaining "income
on the contract" and (4) last from the remaining "investment in the contract."
As a result, to the extent that such amount received or deemed received does not
exceed such pre-8/14/82 investment, such amount is not includable in gross
income., In addition, to the extent that such amount received or deemed received
does not exceed the sum of (a) such pre-8/14/82 investment and (b) the "income
on the contract" attributable thereto, such amount is not subject to the 10%
penalty tax. In all other respects, amounts received or deemed received from
such post-exchange Contracts are generally subject to the rules described in
this subparagraph 3.
F. REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS
i. Death of Contract Owner or Primary Annuitant
Subject to the alternative election or spouse beneficiary provisions in
ii. or iii. below:
1. If any Contract Owner dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date
and before the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed,
the remaining portion of such interest shall be distributed at least
as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the
date of such death;
2. If any Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the
entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within 5 years
after such death; and
3. If the Contract Owner is not an individual, then for purposes of 1.
or 2. above, the primary annuitant under the Contract shall be
treated as the Contract Owner, and any change in the primary
annuitant shall be treated as the death of the Contract Owner. The
primary annuitant is the individual, the events in the life of whom
are of primary importance in affecting the timing or amount of the
payout under the Contract.
ii. Alternative Election to Satisfy Distribution Requirements
If any portion of the interest of a Contract Owner described in i. above
is payable to or for the benefit of a designated beneficiary, such
beneficiary may elect to have the portion distributed over a period that
does not extend beyond the life or life expectancy of the beneficiary. The
election and payments must begin within a year of the death.
iii. Spouse Beneficiary
If any portion of the interest of a Contract Owner is payable to or for
the benefit of his or her spouse, and the Annuitant or Contingent
Annuitant is living, such spouse shall be treated as the Contract Owner of
such portion for purposes of section i. above.
3. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Section 817 of the Code provides that a variable annuity contract will not
be treated as an annuity contract for any period during which the investments
made by the separate account or underlying fund are not adequately diversified
in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Treasury Department. If a
Contract is not treated as an annuity contract, the Contract Owner will be
subject to income tax on the annual increases in cash value.
The Treasury Department has issued diversification regulations which
generally 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 addition, in the case of
government securities, each government agency or instrumentality shall be
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 comply within a reasonable period and avoid the
taxation of contract income on an ongoing basis. However, either the company or
the Contract Owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which the
diversification requirements were not met.
ITT Hartford monitors the diversification of investments in the separate
accounts and tests for diversification as required by the Code. ITT Hartford
intends to administer all contracts subject to the diversification requirements
in a manner that will maintain adequate diversification.
4. OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
In order for a variable annuity contract to qualify for tax deferral, assets
in the segregated asset accounts supporting the variable contract must be
considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the variable contract
owner. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued several rulings which
discuss investor control. The IRS has ruled that incidents of ownership by the
contract
<PAGE>
22 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
owner, such as the ability to select and control investments in a separate
account, will cause the contract owner to be treated as the owner of the assets
for tax purposes.
Further, in the explanation to the temporary Section 817 diversification
regulations, the Treasury Department noted 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, no other such guidance has been issued. Further, ITT Hartford does
not know if or in what form such guidance will be issued. In addition, although
regulations are generally issued with prospective effect, it is possible that
regulations may be issued with retroactive effect. Due to the lack of specific
guidance regarding the issue of investor control, there is necessarily some
uncertainty regarding whether a Contract Owner could be considered the owner of
the assets for tax purposes. ITT Hartford reserves the right to modify the
contracts, as necessary, to prevent Contract Owners from being considered the
owners of the assets in the separate accounts.
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
The portion of a distribution which is taxable income to the recipient will
be subject to Federal income tax withholding, pursuant to Section 3405 of the
Code. The application of this provision is summarized below:
1. NON-PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS.
The portion of a non-periodic distribution which constitutes taxable income
will be subject to Federal income tax withholding unless the recipient elects
not to have taxes withheld. If an election not to have taxes withheld is not
provided, 10% of the taxable distribution will be withheld as Federal income
tax. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested. If
the necessary election forms are not submitted to ITT Hartford, ITT Hartford
will automatically withhold 10% of the taxable distribution.
2. PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS (DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE OVER A PERIOD GREATER THAN ONE
YEAR).
The portion of a periodic distribution which constitutes taxable income will
be subject to Federal income tax withholding as if the recipient were married
claiming three exemptions. A recipient may elect not to have income taxes
withheld or have income taxes withheld at a different rate by providing a
completed election form. Election forms will be provided at the time
distributions are requested.
E. GENERAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS
The Contract may be used for a number of qualified retirement plans. If the
Contract is being purchased with respect to some form of qualified retirement
plan, please refer to Appendix I commencing on page 28 for information relative
to the types of plans for which it may be used and the general explanation of
the tax features of such plans.
F. ANNUITY PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal
income tax consequences to annuity 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 annuity distributions at a
30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may be
subject to state premium tax, other state and/or municipal taxes, and taxes that

APPENDIX I
INFORMATION REGARDING TAX-QUALIFIED PLANS
The tax rules applicable to tax qualified contract owners, including
restrictions on contributions and distributions, taxation of distributions and
tax penalties, vary according to the type of plan as well as the terms and
conditions of the plan itself. Various tax penalties may apply to contributions
in excess of specified limits, to distributions in excess of specified limits,
distributions which do not satisfy certain requirements and certain other
transactions with respect to qualified plans. Accordingly, this summary provides
only general information about the tax rules associated with use of the Contract
by a qualified plan. Contract owners, plan participants and beneficiaries are
cautioned that the rights and benefits of any person to benefits are controlled
by the terms and conditions of the plan regardless of the terms and conditions
of the Contract. Some qualified plans are subject to distribution and other
requirements which are not incorporated into ITT Hartford's administrative
procedures. Owners, participants and beneficiaries are responsible for
determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions comply with
applicable law. Because of the complexity of these rules, owners, participants
and beneficiaries are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors as to
specific tax consequences.
A. QUALIFIED PENSION PLANS
Provisions of the Code permit eligible employers to establish pension or
profit sharing plans (described in Section 401(a) and 401(k), if applicable, and
exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code), and Simplified Employee
Pension Plans (described in Section 408(k)). Such plans are subject to
limitations on the amount that may be contributed, the persons who may be
eligible and the time when distributions must commence. Corporate employers
intending to use these contracts in connection with such plans should seek
competent advice.
B. TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 403(B)
Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of
certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations specified
in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to purchase annuity contracts, and, subject to
certain limitations, exclude such contributions from gross income. Generally,
such contributions may not exceed the lesser of $9,500 or 20% of the employees
"includable compensation" for his most recent full year of employment, subject
to other adjustments. Special provisions may allow some employees to elect a
different overall limitation.
Tax-sheltered annuity programs under Section 403(b) are subject to a
PROHIBITION AGAINST DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE CONTRACT ATTRIBUTABLE TO
CONTRIBUTIONS MADE PURSUANT TO A SALARY REDUCTION AGREEMENT unless such
distribution is made:
(1) after the participating employee attains age 59 1/2;
(2) upon separation from service;
(3) upon death or disability, or
(4) in the case of hardship.
The above restrictions apply to distributions of employee contributions made
after December 31, 1988, earnings on those contributions, and earnings on
amounts attributable to employee contributions held as of December 31, 1988.
They do not apply to distributions of any employer or other after-tax
contributions, employee contributions made on or before December 31, 1988, and
earnings credited to employee contributions before December 31, 1988.
C. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS UNDER SECTION 457
Employees and independent contractors performing services for such employers
may contribute on a before tax basis to the Deferred Compensation Plan of their
employer in accordance with the employer's plan and Section 457 of the Code.
Section 457 places limitations on contributions to Deferred Compensation Plans
maintained by a State ("State" means a State, a political sub-division of a
State, and an agency or instrumentality of a State or political sub-division of
a State) or other tax-exempt organization. Generally, the limitation is 33 1/3%
of includable compensation (25% of gross compensation) or $7,500, whichever is
less. The plan may also provide for additional "catch-up" deferrals during the
three taxable years ending before a Participant attains normal retirement age.
An employee electing to participate in a plan should understand that his
rights and benefits are governed strictly by the terms of the plan, that the
employer is legal owner of any contract issued with respect to the plan and that
deferred amounts will be subject to the claims of the employer's creditors. The
employer as owner of the contract(s) retains all voting and redemption rights
which may accrue to the contract(s) issued with respect to the plan. The
participating employee should look to the terms
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 25
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of his plan for any charges in regard to participating therein other than those
disclosed in this Prospectus.
Distributions from a Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plan are prohibited
unless made after the participating employee attains the age specified in the
plan, separates from service, dies, becomes permanently and totally disabled or
suffers an unforeseeable financial emergency. Present federal tax law does not
allow tax-free transfers or rollovers for amounts accumulated in a Section 457
plan except for transfers to other Section 457 plans in limited cases.
D. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 408
Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to establish individual
retirement programs through the purchase of Individual Retirement Annuities
("IRAs"). IRAs are subject to limitations on the amount that may be contributed,
the contributions that may be deducted from taxable income, the persons who may
be eligible and the time when distributions may commence. Also, distributions
from certain qualified plans may be "rolled-over" on a tax-deferred basis into
an IRA.
E. TAX PENALTIES
Distributions from retirement plans are generally taxed under Section 72 of
the Code. Under these rules, a portion of each distribution may be excludable
from income. The excludable amount is the portion of the distribution which
bears the same ratio as the after-tax contributions bear to the expected return.
1. PREMATURE DISTRIBUTION
Distributions from a qualified plan before the Participant attains age
59 1/2 are generally subject to an additional tax equal to 10% of the taxable
portion of the distribution. The 10% penalty does not apply to distributions
made after the employee's death, on account of disability and distributions in
the form of a life annuity and, except in the case of an IRA, certain
distributions after separation from service at or after age 55 and certain
distributions for eligible medical expenses. A life annuity is defined as a
scheduled series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life or life
expectancy of the Participant (or the joint lives or life expectancies of the
Participant and Beneficiary).
2. MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION TAX
If the amount distributed is less than the minimum required distribution for
the year, the Participant is subject to a 50% tax on the amount that was not
properly distributed.
An individual's interest in a retirement plan must generally be distributed
or begin to be distributed not later than April 1 of the calendar year in which
the individual attains age 70 1/2 ("required beginning date"). The required
beginning date with respect to certain government plans may be further deferred.
The entire interest of the Participant must be distributed beginning no later
than this required beginning date over a period which may not extend beyond a
maximum of the life expectancy of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary.
Each annual distribution must equal or exceed a "minimum distribution amount"
which is determined by dividing the account balance by the applicable life
expectancy. This account balance is generally based upon the account value as of
the close of business on the last day of the previous calendar year. In
addition, minimum distribution incidental benefit rules may require a larger
annual distribution.
If an individual dies before reaching his or her required beginning date,
the individual's entire interest must generally be distributed within five years
of the individuals' death. However, this rule will be deemed satisfied, if
distributions begin before the close of the calendar year following the
individual's death to a designated Beneficiary (or over a period not extending
beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary). If the Beneficiary is the
individual's surviving spouse, distributions may be delayed until the individual
would have attained age 70 1/2.
If an individual dies after reaching his or her required beginning date or
after distributions have commenced, the individual's interest must generally be
distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at
the time of the individual's death.
3. EXCESS DISTRIBUTION TAX
If the aggregate distributions from all IRAs and certain other qualified
plans in a calendar year exceed the greater of (i) $150,000, or (ii) $112,500 as
indexed for inflation ($155,000 as of January 1, 1996), a penalty tax of 15% is
generally imposed on the excess portion of the distribution.
4. WITHHOLDING
Periodic distributions from a qualified plan lasting for a period of 10 or
more years are generally subject to voluntary income tax withholding. The
recipient of periodic distributions may generally elect not to have withholding
apply or to have income taxes withheld at a different rate by providing a
completed election form. Otherwise, the amount withheld on such distributions is
determined at the rate applicable to wages as if the recipient were married
claiming three exemptions.
Nonperiodic distributions from an IRA are subject to income tax withholding
at a flat 10% rate. The recipient may elect not to have withholding apply.
<PAGE>
26 ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nonperiodic distributions from other qualified plans are generally subject
to mandatory income tax withholding at the flat rate of 20% unless such
distributions are:
(1) the non-taxable portion of the distribution;
(2) required minimum distributions;
(3) eligible rollover distributions.
Eligible rollover distributions are direct payments to an IRA or to another
qualified employer plan.
Any distribution from plans described in Section 457 of the Code is subject
to regular wage withholding rules.

INTRODUCTION
The individual and group tax deferred variable annuity contracts described in
the Prospectus are designed to provide Annuity benefits to individuals who have
established or wish to establish retirement programs which may or may not
qualify for special federal income tax treatment. The Annuitant under these
Contracts may receive Annuity benefits in accordance with the Annuity option
selected and the retirement program, if any, under which the Contracts have been
purchased. Annuity payments under a Contract will begin on a particular future
date which may be selected at any time under the Contract or automatically when
the Annuitant reaches age 90 except in certain states where deferral past age 85
is not permitted. There are several alternative annuity payment options
available under the Contract (see "Optional Annuity Forms," commencing on
page __).
The Premium Payments under a Contract, less any applicable Premium Taxes, will
be applied to the Separate Account and/or the Fixed Account. Accordingly, the
net Premium Payment under the Contract will be applied to purchase interests in
one or more of the Hartford Advisers Fund, Hartford Bond Fund, Hartford Capital
Appreciation Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Hartford Index Fund,
Hartford International Advisers Fund, Hartford International Opportunities Fund,
Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund, Hartford Stock Fund and HVA Money Market Fund
Sub-Accounts.
Shares of the Funds are purchased by the Separate Account without the imposition
of a sales charge. The value of a Contract depends on the value of the shares
of the Fund held by the Separate Account pursuant to that Contract. As a
result, the Contract Owner bears the investment risk since market value of the
shares may increase or decrease.
There is no assurance that the value of the Contract Owner's Contract at any
time will equal or exceed the Premium Payments made. However, if the Annuitant
or Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contracts
provide that a death benefit equal to the value of the Contract as of the date
due proof of death is received by ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
Company ("ITT Hartford") shall be payable. This amount is the greater of (a)
the Contract Value on the date of receipt of due proof of death by ITT Hartford,
or (b) 100% of the total Premium Payments made to such Contract, reduced by any
prior surrenders, or (c) the Maximum Anniversary Value. (See "Death Benefits"
commencing on page __ of the Prospectus).
DESCRIPTION OF ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ITT Hartford"), formerly ITT
Life Insurance Corporation, was originally incorporated under the laws of
Wisconsin on January 9, 1956. ITT Hartford was redomiciled to Connecticut on
May 1, 1996. It is a stock life insurance company engaged in the business of
writing both individual and group life insurance and annuities in all states
including the District of Columbia, except New York. The offices of ITT
Hartford are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota; however, its mailing address is
P.O. Box 5085, Hartford, Connecticut 06102-5085.
<PAGE>
-2-
ITT Hartford is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company.
ITT Hartford is ultimately 100% owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company, one of
the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United States. On December
20, 1995, Hartford Fire Insurance Company became an independent, publicly traded
corporation.
ITT Hartford is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc. on the basis
of its financial soundness and operating performance. ITT Hartford is rated AA+
by both Standard & Poor's and Duff and Phelps on the basis of its claims paying
ability.
These ratings do not apply to the Separate Account. However, the contractual
obligations under this variable annuity are the general corporate obligations of
ITT Hartford. These ratings do apply to ITT Hartford's ability to meet its
insurance obligations under the contract.
SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS
The assets of the Separate Account are held by ITT Hartford under a safekeeping
arrangement.
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Arthur Andersen LLP, One Financial Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut 06103,
independent public accountants, will perform an annual audit of the Separate
Account. The financial statements and schedules included in this Statement of
Additional Information and elsewhere in the Registration Statement have been
audited by Arthur Andersen LLP as indicated in their reports with respect
thereto and are included herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as
experts in accounting and auditing in giving said report. Reference is made
to said report of ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the
depositor), which includes an explanatory paragraph with respect to changing the
valuation method in determining aggregate reserves for future benefits.
DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS
Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") serves as Principal
Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the Separate Account.
HSD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company. The
principal business address of HSD is the same as ITT Hartford.
The securities will be sold by salespersons of HSD who represent ITT Hartford as
insurance and Variable Annuity agents and who are registered representatives of
Broker-Dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with HSD.
HSD is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as a Broker-Dealer and is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
Prior to June 26, 1995, the Principal Underwriter for the Separate Account was
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc., an NASD member Broker-Dealer.
<PAGE>
-3-
The offering of the Separate Account contracts is continuous.
ANNUITY PERIOD
A. Annuity Payments
Variable Annuity payments are determined on the basis of (1) a mortality table
set forth in the Contracts and the type of Annuity payment option selected, and
(2) the investment performance of the investment medium selected. Fixed Account
Annuity payments are based on the Annuity tables contained in the Contracts, and
will remain level for the duration of the Annuity.
The amount of the Annuity payments will not be affected by adverse mortality
experience or by an increase in expenses in excess of the expense deduction for
which provision has been made (see "Charges Under the Contracts," commencing on
page __ of the Prospectus).
For a Variable Annuity the Annuitant will be paid the value of a fixed number of
Annuity Units each month. The value of such units and the amounts of the
monthly Variable Annuity payments will, however, reflect investment income
occurring after retirement, and thus the Variable Annuity payments will vary
with the investment experience of the Fund shares selected.
B. Electing the Annuity Commencement Date and Form of Annuity
The Contract Owner selects an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity option
which may be on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination thereof. The
Annuity Commencement Date will not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 90th
birthday, except in certain states where deferral past age 85 is not permitted.
The Annuity Commencement Date and/or the Annuity option may be changed from time
to time, but any such change must be made at least 30 days prior to the date on
which Annuity payments are scheduled to begin.
The Contract contains the five optional Annuity forms described below. Options
2, 4 and 5 are available with respect to Qualified Contracts only if the
guaranteed payment period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at
the time the option becomes effective. Such life expectancy shall be computed
on the basis of the mortality table prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,
or if none is prescribed, the mortality table then in use by ITT Hartford.
With respect to Non-Qualified Contracts, if you do not elect otherwise, payments
will automatically begin at the Annuitant's age 90 (with the exception of states
that do not allow deferral past age 85) under Option 2 with 120 monthly payments
certain.
For Qualified Contracts and Contracts issued in Texas, if you do not elect
otherwise, payments will begin automatically at the Annuitant's age 90 under
Option 1 to provide a life Annuity.
<PAGE>
-4-
When an Annuity is effected under a Contract, unless otherwise specified,
variable values will be applied to provide a Variable Annuity based on Contract
Values as they are held in the various Sub-Accounts under the Contracts. Fixed
Account Contract Values will be applied to provide a Fixed Account Annuity. The
Contract Owner should consider the question of allocation of Contract Values
among Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account and the General Account of ITT
Hartford to make certain that Annuity payments are based on the investment
alternative best suited to the Contract Owner's needs for retirement.
If at any time Annuity payments with respect to a Variable or a Fixed Account
Annuity or a combination of the two are or become less than $50.00 per payment,
ITT Hartford has the right to change the frequency of payment to such intervals
as will result in Annuity payments of at least $50.00. For New York contracts
the minimum payment is $20.00.
There may be other annuity options available offered by ITT Hartford from time
to time.
C. Optional Annuity Forms
OPTION 1: Life Annuity
A life Annuity is an Annuity payable during the lifetime of the Annuitant and
terminating with the last monthly payment preceding the death of the Annuitant.
This option offers the maximum level of monthly payments of any of the life
Annuity options since there is no guarantee of a minimum number of payments nor
a provision for a death benefit payable to a Beneficiary.
It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant to receive only one
Annuity payment if he died prior to the due date of the second Annuity payment,
two if he died before the due date of the third Annuity payment, etc.
OPTION 2: Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain
This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an
Annuitant with the provision that if, at the death of the Annuitant, payments
have been made for less than 120, 180 or 240 months, as elected, then the
present value as of the date of the Annuitant's death of the current dollar
amount at the date of death, of any remaining guaranteed monthly payments will
be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated.

For the purpose of this illustration, purchase is assumed to have been made on
the fifth business day preceding the first payment date. In determining the
second and subsequent payments, the Annuity Unit value of the fifth business day
preceding the Annuity due date is used.
OPTION 3: Joint and Last Survivor Annuity
An Annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a
designated second person, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the
survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the survivor.
It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant and designated second
person in the event of the common or simultaneous death of the parties to
receive only one payment in the event of death prior to the due date for the
second payment and so on.
OPTION 4: Payments for a Designated Period
An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from 5
to 30 years. Under this option, you may, at any time, surrender the contract
and receive, within seven days, the Termination Value of the contract.
In the event of the Annuitant's death prior to the end of the designated period,
the present value as of the date of the Annuitant's death, of the current dollar
amount of any remaining guaranteed monthly payments will be paid in one sum to
the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated.
Option 4 is an option that does not involve life contingencies and thus no
mortality guarantee. Charges made for the mortality undertaking under the
contracts thus provide no real benefit to a Contract Owner.
OPTION 5: Death Benefit Remaining with ITT Hartford
Proceeds from the Death Benefit may be left with ITT Hartford for a period not
to exceed five years from the date of the Contract Owner's death prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date will remain in the Sub-Account(s) to which they were
allocated at the time of death unless the Beneficiary elects to reallocate them.
Full or partial withdrawals may be made at any time. In the event of
withdrawals, the remaining value will equal the Contract Value of the proceeds
left with ITT Hartford, minus any withdrawals. Contingent Deferred Sales
Charges, if applicable, will also be applied to all withdrawals. For purposes
of determining this charge, the original Contract Date
<PAGE>
-6-
of this Contract will be used.
________________________________________________________________________________
Under any of the Annuity options above, excluding Option 4, no surrenders are
permitted after Annuity payments commence. Only full surrenders are allowed out
of Option 4 and any such surrender will be subject to contingent deferred
charges, if applicable.
________________________________________________________________________________
D. The Annuity Unit and Valuation
The value of the Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account in the Separate Account for
any day is determined by multiplying the value for the preceding day by the
product of (1) the net investment factor (see page 11 of the Prospectus) for the
day for which the Annuity Unit value is being calculated, and (2) a factor to
neutralize the assumed investment rate of 5.00% per annum discussed in Section
E. below.
ILLUSTRATION OF CALCULATION OF ANNUITY UNIT VALUE
-------------------------------------------------
1. Net Investment Factor for period . . . . . . . . . . . 1.011225
2. Adjustment for 5% Assumed Rate of Investment Return. . .999892
3. 2x1. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.011116
4. Annuity Unit value, beginning of period. . . . . . . . .995995
5. Annuity Unit value, end of period (3x4). . . . . . . . 1.007066
E. Determination of Amount of First Monthly Annuity Payment-Fixed and Variable
When Annuity payments are to commence, the value of the contract is determined
as the sum of the value of the Fixed Account no earlier than the close of
business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the date the first Annuity payment
is due plus the product of the value of the Accumulation Unit of each
Sub-Account on that same day, and the number of Accumulation Units credited to
each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to commence.
The Contract contains tables indicating the minimum dollar amount of the first
monthly payment under the optional forms of Annuity for each $1,000 of value of
a Sub-Account under a Contract. The first monthly payment varies according to
the form and type of Annuity selected. The Contracts contains Annuity tables
derived from the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality table with ages set back one
year with an assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 5% per annum. The total
first monthly Variable Annuity payment is determined by multiplying the value
(expressed in thousands of dollars) of a Sub-Account (less any applicable
Premium Taxes) by the amount of the first monthly payment per $1,000 of value
obtained from the tables in the Contracts.
Fixed Account Annuity payments are determined at annuitization by multiplying
the values allocated to the Fixed Account by a rate to be determined by ITT
Hartford which is no less than the rate specified in the Annuity tables in the
Contract. The Annuity payment will remain level for the duration of the
Annuity.
<PAGE>
-7-
F. Amount of Second and Subsequent Monthly Variable Annuity Payments
The amount of the first monthly Variable Annuity payment, determined as
described above, is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for the appropriate
Sub-Account no earlier than the close of business on the fifth Valuation Day
preceding the day on which the payment is due in order to determine the number
of Annuity Units represented by the first payment. This number of Annuity Units
remains fixed during the Annuity Period, and in each subsequent month the dollar
amount of the Variable Annuity payment is determined by multiplying this fixed
number of Annuity Units by the then current Annuity Unit value.
Level Variable Annuity Payments would be produced if the investment rate
remained constant and equal to the A.I.R. In fact, payments will vary up or
down as the investment rate varies up or down from the A.I.R.
G. Date and Time of Annuity Payments
The Annuity payments will be made on the fifteenth day of each month following
selection. The Annuity Unit value used in calculating the amount of the
Variable Annuity payments will be based on an Annuity Unit value determined as
of the close of business on a day no earlier than the fifth Valuation Day
preceding the date of the Annuity payment.
CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN
YIELD OF THE HVA MONEY MARKET FUND AND U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND
SUB-ACCOUNTS. As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading "Performance
Related Information," the yield of the HVA Money Market Fund and U.S. Government
Money Market Fund Sub-Accounts for a seven day period (the "base period") will
be computed by determining the "net change in value" (calculated as set forth
below) of a hypothetical account having a balance of one share at the beginning
of the period, dividing the net change in account value by the value of the
account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return,
and multiplying the base period return by 365/7 with the resulting yield figure
carried to the nearest hundredth of one percent. Net changes in value of a
hypothetical account will include net investment income of the account (accrued
daily dividends as declared by the underlying funds, less daily expense charges
of the account) for the period, but will not include realized gains or losses or
unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying fund shares.
The HVA Money Market Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Fund Sub-Accounts'
yield and effective yield will vary in response to fluctuations in interest
rates and in the expenses of the two Sub-Accounts.
THE CURRENT YIELD AND EFFECTIVE YIELD REFLECT RECURRING CHARGES ON THE SEPARATE
ACCOUNT LEVEL, INCLUDING THE MAXIMUM ANNUAL POLICY FEE.
<PAGE>
-8-
HVA MONEY MARKET FUND SUB-ACCOUNT
The yield and effective yield for the seven day period ending December 31, 1995
is as follows:
($30 annual policy fee)
Yield 4.03%
Effective Yield 4.11%
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND SUB-ACCOUNT
The yield and effective yield for the seven day period ending December 31, 1995
is as follows:
($30 annual policy fee)
Yield 3.72%
Effective Yield 3.79%
YIELDS OF BOND FUND AND MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND SUB-ACCOUNTS. As summarized in
the Prospectus under the heading "Performance Related Information," yields of
these two Sub-Accounts will be computed by annualizing a recent month's net
investment income, divided by a Fund share's net asset value on the last trading
day of that month. Net changes in the value of a hypothetical account will
assume the change in the underlying mutual fund's "net asset value per share"
for the same period in addition to the daily expense charge assessed, at the
sub-account level for the respective period. The Bond Fund and Mortgage
Securities Fund Sub-Accounts' yields will vary from time to time depending upon
market conditions and, the composition of the underlying funds' portfolios.
Yield should also be considered relative to changes in the value of the
Sub-Accounts' shares and to the relative risks associated with the investment
objectives and policies of the Bond Fund and Mortgage Securities Fund.
The yield reflects recurring charges on the Separate Account level, including
the annual policy fee.
BOND FUND SUB-ACCOUNT
Yield calculations of the Sub-Account used for illustration purposes reflect the
interest earned by the Sub-Account, less applicable asset charges assessed
against a Contract Owner's account over the base period. The following is the
method used to determine the yield for the 30 day period ended December 31,
1995.
Example:
Current Yield Formula for the Sub-Account
2*[((A-B)/(C*D) + 1) (6) - 1]
<PAGE>
-9-
Where A = Dividends and interest earned during the period.
B = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
C = The average daily number of units outstanding during
the period that were entitled to receive dividends.
D = The maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the period.
Yield = 5.15%
MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND SUB-ACCOUNT
Yield calculations of the Sub-Account used for illustration purposes reflect the
interest earned by the Sub-Account, less applicable asset charges assessed
against a Contract Owner's account over the base period. The following is the
method used to determine the yield for the 30 days period ended December 31,
1995.
Example:
Current Yield Formula for the Sub-Account
2*[((A-B)/(C*D) + 1) (6) - 1]
Where A = Dividends and interest earned during the period.
B = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
C = The average daily number of units outstanding during
the period that were entitled to receive dividends.
D = The maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the period.
Yield = 5.58%
At any time in the future, yields and total return may be higher or lower than
past yields and there can be no assurance that any historical results will
continue.
The method of calculating yields described above for these Sub-Accounts differs
from the method used by the Sub-Accounts prior to May 1, 1988. The denominator
of the fraction used to calculate yield was previously the average unit value
for the period calculated. That denominator will hereafter be the unit value of
the Sub-Accounts on the last trading day of the period calculated.
CALCULATION OF TOTAL RETURN. As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading
"Performance Related Information", total return is a measure of the change in
value of an investment in a Sub-Account over the period covered. The formula
for total return used herein includes three steps: (1) calculating the value of
the hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 as of the end of the period by
multiplying the total number of units owned at the end of the period by the unit
value per unit on the last trading day of the period by the unit value per unit
on the last trading day of the period; (2) assuming redemption at the end of the
period and deducting any applicable
<PAGE>
-10-
contingent deferred sales charge and (3) dividing this account value for the
hypothetical investor by the initial $1,000 investment and annualizing the
result for periods of less than one year. Total return will be calculated for
one year, five years and ten years or some other relevant periods if a
Sub-Account has not been in existence for at least ten years.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
YIELD AND TOTAL RETURN. Each Sub-Account may from time to time include its
total return in advertisements or in information furnished to present to
prospective shareholders. Each Sub-Account may from time to time include its
yield and total return in advertisements or information furnished to present to
prospective shareholders. Each Sub-Account may from time to time include in
advertisements its total return (and yield in the case of certain Sub-Accounts)
the ranking of those performance figures relative to such figures for groups of
other annuities analyzed by Lipper Analytical Services as having the same
investment objectives.
The total return and yield may also be used to compare the performance of the
Sub-Accounts against certain widely acknowledged outside standards or indices
for stock and bond market performance. The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of
500 Stocks (the "S&P 500") is a market value-weighted and unmanaged index
showing the changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks relative to the
base period 1941-43. The S&P 500 is composed almost entirely of common stocks
of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, although the common stocks
of a few companies listed on the American Stock Exchange or traded
over-the-counter are included. The 500 companies represented include 400
industrial, 60 transportation and 40 financial services concerns. The S&P 500
represents about 80% of the market value of all issues traded on the New York
Stock Exchange.
The NASDAQ-OTC Price Index (The "NASDAQ Index") is a market value-weighted and
unmanaged index showing the changes in the aggregate market value of
approximately 3,500 stocks relative to the base measure of 100.00 on February 5,
1971. The NASDAQ Index is composed entirely of common stocks of companies
traded over-the-counter and often through the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotations ("NASDAQ") system. Only those over-the-counter
stocks having only one market maker or traded on exchanges are excluded.
The Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (the "EAFE Index") is an
unmanaged index, which includes over 1,000 companies representing the stock
markets of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Far East. The EAFE Index is
weighted by market capitalization, and therefore, it has a heavy representation
in countries with large stock markets, such as Japan.
The Shearson Lehman Government Bond Index (the "SL Government Index") is a
measure of the market value of all public obligations of the U.S. Treasury; all
publicly issued debt of all agencies of the U.S. Government and all
quasi-federal corporations; and all corporate debt guaranteed by the U.S.
Government. Mortgage backed securities, flower bonds and foreign targeted
issues are
<PAGE>
-11-
not included in the SL Government Index.
The Shearson Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (the "SL
Government/Corporate Index") is a measure of the market value of approximately
5,300 bonds with a face value currently in excess of $1.3 trillion. To be
included in the SL Government/Corporate Index, an issue must have amounts
outstanding in excess of $1 million, have at least one year to maturity and be
rated "Baa" or higher ("investment grade") by a nationally recognized rating
agency.
The Composite Index for Hartford Advisers Fund is comprised of the S&P 500
(55%), the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (35%), both mentioned above,
and 90 Day U.S. Treasury Bills (10%).
The manner in which total return and yield will be calculated for public use is
described above.
The following table summarizes the calculation of total return and yield for
each Sub-Account, where applicable, through December 31, 1995.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT ONE
ITT HARTFORD LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION:
Separate Account One (the Account) is a separate investment account within
ITT Hartford Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the Company) and is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a unit
investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Both
the Company and the Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the
Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account
invests deposits by variable annuity 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). Cost of investments
sold is determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend and capital
gains income are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains income
represents dividends from the Funds which are characterized as capital
gains under tax regulations.
b) SECURITY VALUATION--The investment in shares of the Hartford mutual funds
are valued at the closing net asset value per share as determined by the
appropriate Fund as of December 31, 1995.
c) 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.
d) USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in
the future could vary from the amounts derived from management's
estimates.
3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
a) MORTALITY AND EXPENSE UNDERTAKINGS--The Company, as issuer of variable
annuity contracts, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and,
with respect to the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of 1.25% of
the Account's average daily net assets.
b) DEDUCTION OF ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE--Annual maintenance fees are deducted
through termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners'
accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
----------------------------------------
To the Board of Directors of
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying statutory balance sheets of ITT Hartford
Life and Annuity Insurance Company (a Wisconsin corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company) (the Company) as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statutory statements of income, changes in
capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
statutory-basis 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.
The Company presents its financial statements in conformity with statutory
accounting practices as described in Note 1 of notes to statutory financial
statements. When statutory financial statements are presented for purposes
other than for filing with a regulatory agency, generally accepted auditing
standards require that an auditors' report on them state whether they are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
accounting practices used by the Company vary from generally accepted
accounting principles as explained and quantified in Note 1. In our opinion,
because the differences in accounting practices as described in Note 1 are
material, the statutory financial statements referred to above do not present
fairly, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995.
<PAGE>
However, in our opinion, the statutory financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995 in conformity with statutory accounting practices as described in Note 1.
As discussed in Note 1 of notes to statutory financial statements, the
Company changed its valuation method in determining aggregate reserves for
future benefits.

ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ORGANIZATION
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (ILA or the Company), formerly
known as ITT Life Insurance Corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life Insurance Company (HLIC), which is an indirect subsidiary of ITT
Hartford Group, Inc. (ITT Hartford), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT
Corporation (ITT). On December 19, 1995, ITT Corporation distributed all the
outstanding shares of ITT Hartford Group to ITT shareholders of record in an
action known herein as the "Distribution". As a result of the Distribution, ITT
Hartford became an independent, publicly traded company.
ILA offers a complete line of ordinary and universal life insurance, individual
annuities and certain supplemental accident and health benefit coverages.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying ILA statutory basis financial statements were prepared in
conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and the Insurance
Department of the State of Wisconsin.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilties and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Statutory accounting practices and generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) differ in certain significant respects. These differences principally
involve:
(1) treatment of policy acquisition costs (commissions, underwriting and selling
expenses, premium taxes, etc.) which are charged to expense when incurred for
statutory purposes rather than on a pro-rata basis over the expected life of the
policy;
(2) recognition of premium revenues, which for statutory purposes are generally
recorded as collected or when due during the premium paying period of the
contract and which for GAAP purposes, generally, for universal life policies and
investment products, are only recorded for policy charges for the cost of
insurance, policy administration and surrender charges assessed to policy
account balances. Also, for GAAP purposes, premiums for traditional life
insurance policies are recognized as revenues when they are due from
policyholders and the retrospective deposit method is used in accounting for
universal life and other types of contracts where the payment pattern is
irregular or surrender charges are a significant source of profit. The
prospective deposit method is used for GAAP purposes where investment margins
are the primary source of profit;
(3) development of liabilities for future policy benefits, which for statutory
purposes predominantly use interest rate and mortality assumptions prescribed by
the NAIC which may vary considerably from interest and mortality assumptions
used for GAAP financial reporting;
(4) providing for income taxes based on current taxable income (tax return) only
for statutory purposes, rather than establishing additional assets or
liabilities for deferred Federal income taxes to recognize the tax effect
related to reporting revenues and expenses in different periods for financial
reporting and tax return purposes;
-1-
<PAGE>
(5) excluding certain GAAP assets designated as non-admitted assets (e.g., past
due agent's balances and furniture and equipment) from the balance sheet for
statutory purposes by directly charging surplus;
(6) establishing accruals for post-retirement and post-employment health care
benefits on an optional basis, immediate recognition or a twenty year phase-in
approach, whereas GAAP liabilities were established at date of adoption;
(7) establishing a formula reserve for realized and unrealized losses due to
default and equity risk associated with certain invested assets (Asset Valuation
Reserve); as well as the deferral and amortization of realized gains and losses,
motivated by changes in interest rates during the period the asset is held, into
income over the remaining life to maturity of the asset sold (Interest
Maintenance Reserve); whereas on a GAAP basis, no such formula reserve is
required and realized gains and losses are recognized in the period the asset is
sold;
(8) the reporting of reserves and benefits net of reinsurance ceded, where risk
transfer has taken place; whereas on a GAAP basis, reserves are reported gross
of reinsurance with reserve credits presented as recoverable assets;
(9) the reporting of fixed maturities at amortized cost, where GAAP requires
that fixed maturities be classified as "held-to-maturity", "available-for-sale"
or "trading", based on the Company's intentions with respect to the ultimate
disposition of the security and its ability to affect those intentions. The
Company's fixed maturities were classified on a GAAP basis as "available-for-
sale" and accordingly, these investments were reflected at fair value with the
corresponding impact included as a component of Stockholder's Equity designated
as "Unrealized Gain/Loss on Investments, Net of Tax". For statutory reporting
purposes, Net Unrealized Loss on Investments represents unrealized gains or
losses on common stock and other bonds reported at fair value; and
(10) separate account liabilties are valued on the Commissioner's Annuity
Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM), with the surplus generated recorded as a
liability to the general account (and a contra liability on the balance sheet of
the general account), whereas GAAP liabilities are valued at account value.
As of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the significant differences between
statutory and GAAP basis
net income and capital and surplus for the Company are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
AGGREGATE RESERVES AND LIABILITIES FOR PREMIUM AND OTHER DEPOSIT FUNDS
Aggregate reserves for payment of future life, health and annuity benefits were
computed in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards. Reserves
for life insurance policies are generally based on the 1958 and 1980
Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables at various rates ranging from
2.5% to 6.0%. Accumulation and on-benefit annuity reserves are based
principally on Individual Annuity tables at various rates ranging from 2.5% to
8.75% and using the Commissioner's Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM).
Accident and health reserves are established using a two year preliminary term
method and morbidity tables based on Company experience.
ILA has established separate accounts to segregate the assets and liabilities of
certain annuity contracts that must be segregated from the Company's general
assets under the terms of the contracts. The assets consist primarily of
marketable securities reported at market value. Premiums, benefits and expenses
of these contracts are reported in the Statutory Statements of Income.
During 1994, the Company changed the valuation method on aggregate reserves for
future benefits resulting in a $10.7 million increase in surplus. The new
valuation method is in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards.
INVESTMENTS
Investments in bonds are carried at amortized cost. Bonds which are deemed
ineligible to be held at amortized cost by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC) Securities Valuation Office (SVO) are carried at the
appropriate SVO published value. When a permanent reduction in the value of
publicly traded securities occurs, the decrease is reported as a realized loss
and the carrying value is adjusted accordingly. Common stocks are carried at
market value with the difference from cost reflected in surplus. Other invested
assets are generally recorded at fair value.
Changes in unrealized capital gains and losses on common stock are reported as
additions to or reductions of surplus. The Asset Valuation Reserve is designed
to provide a standardized reserve process for realized and unrealized losses due
to the default and equity risks associated with invested assets. The reserve
increased by $5,588, $1,356 and $135 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Additionally, the Interest Maintenance Reserve (IMR) captures net realized
capital gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, resulting from changes
in interest rates and amortizes these gains or losses into income over the
remaining life of the mortgage loan or bond sold. Realized capital gains and
losses, net of taxes, not included in IMR are reported in the Statutory
Statements of Income. Realized investment gains and losses are determined
-3-
<PAGE>
on a specific identification basis. The amount of net capital gains reclassified
from the IMR was $39 in 1995 and the amount of net capital losses was $67 and
$264 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The amount of income amortized was $256,
$114 and $178 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
OTHER LIABILITIES
The amount reflected in other liabilities includes a receivable from the
separate accounts of $333.1, $186.5 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
balances are classified in accordance with NAIC accounting practices.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Transactions between the Company and its affiliates within ITT Hartford relate
principally to tax settlements, reinsurance, service fees, capital contributions
and payments of dividends.
On June 30, 1995, the assets of Lyndon Insurance Company were contributed to
ILA. As a result, ILA received approximately $365 million in fixed maturities,
equity securities and cash, $28 million in policy reserves, $187 million of
current tax liability, $26 million in IMR, $8 million in AVR (offset by an
aggregate write-in to surplus), and $4 million of other liabilities. The assets
in excess of liabilities of $112 were recorded as an increase to paid-in
surplus.
For additional information, see Note 5.
4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of ITT
Hartford and its includable subsidiaries. Allocation of taxes is based
primarily upon separate company tax return calculations with current credit for
net losses used in consolidation except that increases resulting from
consolidation are
-7-
<PAGE>
allocated in proportion to separate return amounts. Intercompany Federal income
tax balances are generally settled quarterly with Hartford Fire Insurance
Company (Hartford Fire), a subsidiary of ITT Hartford. Federal income taxes paid
by the Company were $215,921, $20,538, and $10,042 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The effective tax rate was 25%, 92%, and 1,181% in 1995, 1994, and
1993 respectively. The following schedule provides a reconciliation of the
effective tax rate (in millions).

5. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS AND SHAREHOLDER DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS:
The maximum amount of dividends which can be paid, without prior approval, by
State of Wisconsin insurance companies to shareholders is subject to
restrictions relating to statutory surplus. Dividends are paid as determined by
the Board of Directors and are not cumulative. ILA paid dividends of $10 million
to its parent, HLIC, in 1995. No dividends were paid in 1994 and 1993. As a
result of the distribution by ITT, the assets of ITT Lyndon Insurance Company
(Lyndon) were contributed to ILA in June 1995. Substantially all the business
was removed from Lyndon prior to the contribution. The amount of assets which
exceeded liabilities at the contribution date ($112 million) was included in
paid-in capital.
6. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:
The Company's employees are included in ITT Hartford's non-contributory 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 and the maximum amount that can be deducted for
Federal income tax purposes. Generally, pension costs are funded through the
purchase of HLIC's group pension contracts. Pension expense was $1,034, $1,211,
and $765 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Liabilities for the plan are held
by Hartford Fire.
The Company also participates in ITT Hartford 's Investment and Savings Plan,
which includes a deferred compensation option under IRC section 401(k) and
an ESOP allocation under IRC section 404(k). The liabilities for these plans are
included in the financial statements of Hartford Fire. The cost to ILA was not
material in 1995, 1994 and 1993.
The Company's employees are included in Hartford Fire's contributory defined
health care and life insurance benefit plans. These plans provide health care
and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all employees
may become eligible for those benefits if they reach normal or early retirement
age while still working for the Company. 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. Amounts allocated by
Hartford Fire for post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits
expense (not including provisions for accrual of post-retirement benefit
obligations) are immaterial.
The assumed rate of future increases in the per capita cost of health care (the
health care trend rate) was 10.1% for 1995, decreasing ratably to 6% in the year
2001. Increasing the health care trend rates by one percent per year would have
an immaterial impact on the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation and
the annual expense. The cost to ILA was not material in 1995, 1994 and 1993.
Post-employment benefits are primarily comprised of obligations to provide
medical and life insurance to employees on long term disability. Post-
employment benefit expense was not material in 1995, 1994 and 1993.
-8-
<PAGE>
7. REINSURANCE:
The Company cedes insurance to non-affiliated insurers in order to limit its
maximum loss. Such transfer does not relieve ILA of its primary liability. ILA
also assumes insurance from other insurers.
Life insurance net retained premiums were comprised of the following:
For the years ended december 31
-------------------------------
1995.00 1994.00 1993.00
Direct premiums 159,918 133,180 131,586
Premiums assumed 13,299 960 841
Premiums ceded 7,425 (308,033) 118,146
Premiums and annuity considerations 165,792 442,173 14,281
In December 1994 the Company ceded to a third party, on a modified coinsurance
basis, 80% of the variable annuity business written in 1994. The ceded business
includes both general and separate account liabilities. As a result of the
agreement ILA transferred approximately $1,352 million in assets and
liabilities. The financial impact of the cession was an increase of
approximately $15 million to net income and surplus.
In November 1994, the Company ceded, on a modified coinsurance basis, 30% of
the separate account variable annuity business distributed by Paine Webber to
Paine Webber Life Insurance Company (PWLIC). As a result of the agreement, ILA
transferred approximately $24 million in assets and liabilities to PWLIC. The
financial impact of the cession was an increase of approximately $765 to net
income and surplus.
In October 1994, the agreement, effective December 1990, which required ILA to
coinsure 90% of all existing and new business, excluding variable annuity
business, written by the Company to HLIC, was terminated. As a result of the
termination, ILA received approximately $430 million in assets and liabilities
from HLIC. The impact of the transaction was a decrease of approximately $15
million to net income and surplus.
In November 1993, ILA acquired, through an assumption reinsurance transaction,
substantially all of the individual fixed and variable annuity business of
Hartford Life and Accident, an affiliate. As a result of this transaction, the
assets and liabilities of the Company increased approximately $1 billion,
substantially all of which was transferred to the separate accounts of the
Company. The remaining assets and liabilities (approximately $41 million) were
transferred in October 1995. The impact of these transactions on net income and
surplus was not significant.
8. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS:
The Company maintains separate account assets and liabilties totaling $7.3
billion and $3.6 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Separate
account assets are reported at fair value and separate account liabilities are
determined in accordance with the Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation
Method (CARVM), which approximates the market value less applicable surrender
charges. Separate account assets are segregated from other investments, the
policyholder assumes the investment risk, and the investment income and gains
and losses accrue directly to the policyholder. Separate account management
fees, net of minimum guarantees, were $72 million, $42 million, and $6 million
in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had no material contingent liabilities, nor
had the Company committed any surplus funds for any contingent liabilities or
arrangements. The Company is involved in various legal actions which have
arisen in the course normal of its business. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate liability with respect to such lawsuits as well as other contingencies
is not considered to be material in relation to the results of operations and
financial position of the Company.
Under insurance guaranty laws in most states, insurers doing business therein
can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses incurred by
insolvent companies. The amount of any future assessments on ILA under these
laws cannot be reasonably estimated. Most of the laws do provide, however, that
an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own
financial strength. Additionally, guaranty fund assessments are used to reduce
state premium taxes paid by the company in certain states. ILA paid guaranty
fund assessments of $1,684, $583, and $495 in 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.
