                              REPORT OF MANAGEMENT

The management of HL Funding Company, Inc., (the Company) is responsible for the
preparation and integrity of the information contained in the accompanying
financial statements and other sections of the Annual Report.  The  financial
statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and, where necessary, include amounts that are based on
management's informed judgments and estimates.  Other information in the Annual
Report is consistent with the financial statements.

The Company's financial statements are audited by Arthur Andersen LLP,
independent public accountants.  Management has made available to Arthur
Andersen LLP the Company's financial records and related data and believes that
the representations made to the independent public accountants are valid and
complete.

The Company's system of internal controls is a major component of management's
responsibility for the fair presentation of the financial statements.  The
internal controls, including accounting controls and the internal auditing
program, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the assets are
safeguarded, transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorization and are properly recorded, and fraudulent financial reporting is
prevented or detected.

The Company's internal controls provide for the careful selection and training
of personnel and for appropriate segregation of responsibilities.  The controls
are documented in written codes of conduct, policies, and procedures that are
communicated to the Company's employees.  Management continually monitors the
system of internal controls for compliance.  The Company's internal auditors
perform independent tests of accounting procedures and records to assess the
overall effectiveness of the Company's internal controls.  They also make
recommendations for improving internal controls, policies and practices.
Management takes appropriate action in response to each recommendation from the
internal auditors and the independent public accountants.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To the Stockholder and Board of Directors of HL Funding Company, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of  HL Funding Company, Inc. as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related  statements of  income (loss),
stockholder's equity and cash flows for the year then ended and for the period
from inception, February 8, 1993, to December 31, 1993.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.   An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of HL Funding Company, Inc. as of
December 31, 1994  and 1993, and the results of  its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended and for the period from inception, February 8,
1993, to December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1994

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

HL Funding Company, Inc. (HLFC) is a corporation formed in the state of
Connecticut on February 8, 1993.  HLFC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford
Life Insurance Company (HLIC).  All of the outstanding shares of HLIC are
ultimately owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company (Hartford Fire), which is
owned by ITT Hartford Group, Inc., a subsidiary of ITT Corporation (ITT).  On
March 26, 1993 HLFC issued 100 shares ($1 par) of stock to HLIC for $1,000 per
share.  On May 28, 1993, and  September 30, 1994,  additional capital
contributions of $99,900 and $650,000, respectively, were made by HLIC.

HLFC  offers and administers programs whereby participants obtain life insurance
coverage from HLIC and Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company.  Under the
programs, insurance premiums are paid on behalf of participants through a series
of loans from HLFC.  Loans to participants are secured by participants'
ownership in shares of regulated investment companies.  Premium loans receivable
are funded with proceeds from a loan arrangement with HLIC.  Programs can be up
to ten years in length.  Upon program conclusion, loan balances and accrued
interest become due.

The administrative costs of issuing and maintaining the programs are expected to
be offset by: a) fees charged to program participants; b) interest charged to
participants for insurance premium loans to the extent that the interest charged
exceeds the cost to HLFC of obtaining funds to finance the programs; and c)
interest income earned on investments held by HLFC.  Through December 31, 1994,
three programs were sold.


NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

REVENUES AND EXPENSES -
Interest and fees from investments and premium loans receivable are recognized
as revenue when earned.  Expenses, which are primarily allocated from
affiliates, are recognized when incurred.

ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS -
Organizational costs include software development and are amortized over a three
year period.

INVESTMENT IN HARTFORD LIQUID ASSET TRUST -
Investment in Hartford Liquid Asset Trust is considered a cash equivalent.

NOTE 3 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

HLIC provides administrative services to HLFC, including use of its facilities
and personnel, and allocates a portion of its expense to HLFC.

                                       F-7

<PAGE>

HLFC invested the capital contributions in the Hartford Liquid Asset Trust.
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the purpose of the Trust is to
invest funds in a less costly manner in assets which achieve a high level of
current income as well as maintain liquidity and preserve capital.  The Trust
investments are restricted to cash and investments having a stated maturity
date of 12 months or less from the date of purchase.  Interest earned by the
Trust is allocated to each participant based on their pro-rata share of
principle contributions.

HLFC's  funds for financing the programs are currently obtained through a
promissory note agreement with HLIC.  The agreement allows HLIC to advance to
HLFC  funds in an amount of up to $7,000,000.  The interest rate for the note is
equal to the 90 day LIBOR plus 125 basis points.  The rate was 6.75% at
December 31, 1994.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Premium loans receivable and intercompany loan payable amounts reflected in the
balance sheet approximate fair value.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

HLFC is included in ITT's consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return and remits
to (receives from) ITT a current income tax provision (benefit) computed in
accordance with the tax sharing arrangements between ITT and its subsidiaries.
The effective tax rate in 1994 and 1993 approximated the U.S. Statutory tax rate
of 35%. The provision (benefit) for income taxes was as follows:

The deferred tax asset at December 31, 1994, was due to expenses capitalized for
tax purposes until the start of business of HLFC.  Income taxes paid were $162
and $0 in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
