                          HL FUNDING COMPANY, INC.
                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               MARCH 31, 1996

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

HL Funding Company, Inc. (HLFC) was 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.  On March 26, 1993, HLFC issued 100 shares 
($1 par) of stock to HLIC for $100.  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, an affiliate of HLIC.  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 a program's conclusion, the related loan balances and accrued interest 
become due.

Management expects the administrative costs of issuing and maintaining the 
programs will 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 March 31, 1996, fourteen 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 are amortized over a three year period.

CASH AND  CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents include an investment ($ 0 and $66,408 as of March 31, 1996 
and December 31, 1995 , respectively) in Hartford Liquid Asset Trust (see 
Note 3).

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 and disclosure of 
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and 
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current 
year presentation.

                                    (6)
<PAGE>


NOTE 3 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

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

HLFC initially invested the capital contributions in Hartford Liquid Asset 
Trust, a short term investment pool of liquid securities, in which companies 
of the ITT Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. participate.  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 principal contributions.

HLFC's funds for financing the programs are obtained through a promissory 
note agreement with HLIC.  The agreement allows HLIC to advance to HLFC funds 
in an amount up to $7,000,000.  The interest rate for the note is equal to 
the 90 day LIBOR plus 125 basis points.  The interest rate was 6.875% at 
March 31, 1996.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash and cash equivalent, interest, fees and tax receivable, 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 Hartford Group, Inc.'s consolidated U.S. Federal income
tax return and remits to (receives from) ITT Hartford Group, Inc. a current
income tax provision (benefit) computed in accordance with the tax sharing
arrangements between ITT Hartford Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  The
effective tax rate in 1996 and 1995 approximated the U.S. Statutory tax rate of
35%. The provision (benefit) for income taxes was as follows:


                               March 31,      December 31
                                 1996             1995

Current                       $ (24,070)      $(195,216)
Deferred                            961         (28,165)
                              ---------       ---------
                              $ (23,109)      $(223,381)


As of  March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the deferred tax asset  was 
primarily due to organizational expenses capitalized for tax return purposes 
until the start of business of HLFC.  Income taxes paid were $ 0, $162 and $ 
0 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

NOTE 6 - PREMIUM LOANS

All premium loans to participants are secured by participants' shares of 
mutual funds, which include open-end investment companies registered under 
the Investment Company Act of 1940.  When loans are originated, customers 
must pledge mutual fund shares valued at 2.5 times the yearly premiums being 
financed.  During the life of the loan, the fair market value of the 
collateralized mutual fund shares must equal at least 1.5 times the amount of 
the total loan, or the participant must pledge additional shares to achieve 
this level.  The loan will be liquidated if the fair market value of the 
collateral-to-loan ratio falls below 1.3.  Effective January 1, 1995, HL 
Funding Company, Inc. adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Nos. 
114 and 118, ""Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.''  These 
standards change the method by which the allowance for loan losses is 
determined for impaired loans.  Since all premium loans are secured by 
collateral, with fair market value exceeding the loan value, there was no 
impact to the financial position or future results of operations of HL 
Funding Company, Inc. as a result of the adoption of the new accounting 
standards on January 1, 1995.

Item  2. MANAGEMENT'S  NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
              THREE MONTHS  ENDED  MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995


OPERATING RESULTS

For the first quarter of 1996 HL Funding Company, Inc.  (the Company) had a 
net loss of  $42,918 compared to a net loss of $49,458 for the first quarter 
of 1995.  Net losses in the comparative periods were principally due to  
general operating expenses of  the Company exceeding short term interest and 
program income for the quarter.  The decrease in the net loss between March 
31, 1996 and 1995 was principally due to lower expenses in 1996, partially 
offset by a decrease in interest income.   Through March 31, 1996 fourteen 
programs were sold by the Company.
