                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

HL Funding Company, Inc. (HLFC) was formed in the State of Connecticut on 
February 8, 1993 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance 
Company (HLIC).  On July 15, 1996, a reorganization took place and the 
outstanding stock of HLFC was contributed to Hartford Financial Services 
Corporation (HFSC) by HLIC.  HFSC is a wholly owned subsidiary of 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. 
(Prior to December 19, 1995, ITT Hartford Group, Inc. was a wholly owned 
subsidiary of ITT Corporation.  On December 19, 1995, ITT Corporation 
distributed all of the outstanding shares of ITT Hartford Group, Inc. to ITT 
Corporation shareholders).  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 September 30, 1996, eighteen 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 ($348,482 and $66,408 as of September 
30, 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.

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 invests a portion of its assets 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 rate plus 1.25%.  The interest rate was 6.875% at September 
30, 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

From inception of the company through December 19, 1995, HLFC was included in 
the consolidated filing of ITT Corporation.  For the period December 20 - 31, 
1995, HLFC participated in the consolidated filing of ITT Hartford Group, 
Inc.'s U.S. Federal income tax return and received from ITT Hartford Group, 
Inc. current income tax benefits computed in accordance with the tax sharing 
arrangements between ITT Hartford Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  
Subsequent to the spin-off of the ITT Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. from its 
former parent ITT Corp., HLFC will not be included in the consolidated U.S. 
Federal income tax return of  ITT Hartford Group, Inc., and accordingly as of 
September 30, 1996 HLFC will file as a member of a separate non-life 
consolidated group with its immediate parent, Hartford Financial Services 
Corporation.  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:

                          September 30, 1996       December 31, 1995

          Current             $(61,959)               $(195,216)
          Deferred               2,880                  (28,165)
                              ---------               ----------
                              $(59,079)               $(223,381)
                              ---------               ----------
                              ---------               ----------

As of September 30, 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' share 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

                 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995


OPERATING RESULTS

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, HL Funding Company, Inc. (the 
Company) had a net loss of $109,716 compared to a net loss of $132,855 for 
the nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995.  The decrease in the net loss between September 
30, 1996 and 1995 was principally due to lower expenses for salary and 
overhead in 1996, and slightly higher program income generated from sales of 
new contracts, partially offset by a decrease in non program interest income. 
Through September 30, 1996, eighteen programs were sold by the Company 
versus eight through September 30, 1995.
