                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

HL Funding Company, Inc. (HLFC or the Company) 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. 
(The Hartford).  (Prior to December 19, 1995, The Hartford was a wholly owned 
subsidiary of ITT Corporation.  On December 19, 1995, ITT Corporation 
distributed all of the outstanding shares of The Hartford to ITT Corporation 
shareholders).  

HLFC administers programs whereby participants have obtained 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

In January, 1997, management of the Company initiated an informal plan to 
terminate the Company's program.  The participants were notified of 
management's intent to terminate the program and were given the following 
options; (1) selling enough shares of registered investment companies to pay 
back the premium loan, (2) use of life insurance policy cash value (or some 
portion of it) to pay back the premium loan, (3) some combination of (1) and 
(2) and (4) use of other personal assets to pay back the premium loan. 
Pursuant to the Company's plan to terminate the program, the Company 
discontinued offering new contracts effective January 1, 1997.  At December 
31, 1996 there were seventeen active programs. Three programs were terminated 
between January and March 31, 1997.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements 
to conform to current year presentation.

REVENUES AND EXPENSES
In accordance with managements' plan to terminate the program, no participant 
related revenues or expenses were recognized or recorded during  the period 
from January 1,  1997 through  March 31, 1997  (the period).  Additionally, 
operating expenses were not allocated to the Company  from affiliates during 
the period.

ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS
Organizational costs are amortized over three years;  amortization expense 
continued to be  recognized during the period.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents include an investment ($354,993 and $341,722 as of March 31, 
1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively) in Hartford Liquid Asset Trust (see 
Note 3).

                                     6

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.  In accordance with plans to terminate the program, 
HLIC did not allocate administrative expenses to HLFC during the period.

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 The 
Hartford 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.

Pursuant to the pending termination of the program, HLFC discontinued 
issuance of new participant programs as of January 1, 1997. HLFC's funds for 
financing existing programs were obtained through a promissory note agreement 
with HLIC. The agreement allowed HLIC to advance to HLFC funds in an amount 
up to $7,000,000.  The interest rate for the note equals the 90 day LIBOR 
rate plus 1.25 %, and the note is payable on demand.        


NOTE 4 - 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 The Hartford's U.S. 
Federal income tax return and received from The Hartford current income tax 
benefits computed in accordance with the tax sharing arrangements between The 
Hartford and its subsidiaries.  Subsequent to the spin-off of The Hartford 
from its former parent, ITT Corporation, HLFC will not be included in the 
consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return of  The Hartford and accordingly 
as of December 31, 1996, HLFC will file as a member of a separate non-life 
consolidated group with its immediate parent, HFSC.  The effective tax rate 
in 1997 and 1996 approximated the U.S. Statutory tax rate of 35%.  The 
provision (benefit) for income taxes was as follows:

                                        March 31, 1997   December 31, 1996
                                                  
          Current                         $ (2,361)          $ (78,490)
          Deferred                             960               3,840
                                          --------           ---------
                                          $ (1,401)          $ (74,650)
                                          --------           ---------
                                          --------           ---------


As of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, 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 in 1996 and 
1995.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
  
Cash and cash equivalents, interest, fees and tax receivable, premium loans
receivable and intercompany loan payable amounts reflected in the balance sheet
approximate fair value.






                                                            
                   Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996



OPERATING RESULTS

For the three months ended March 31, 1997, HL Funding Company, Inc. (the 
Company) had a net loss of $2,602 compared to a net loss of $42,918 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996.  Pursuant to the Company's plan to 
terminate the program, operating results for the period January 1 through 
March 31, 1997 reflect discontinuance of recognition of revenues and expenses 
associated with the program and discontinuance of operating expenses 
allocated to the Company by affiliates.  The only expense recognized during 
the period was amortization related to organization costs.  The prior year 
period's net loss was primarily attributable to net operating expenses of the 
Company exceeding short-term interest and program income.
