(1) Length of time from premium payment.
    
 
   
(2) The Annual Contract Fee is a single $25 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 0.06%
    annual asset charge based on the experience of the Contracts.
    
 
   
(3) On January  7, 1996, the  Trustees approved  a proposal to  change the  fees
    payable to Putnam Management under the management contract for PCM Utilities
    Growth  and  Income  Fund. The  proposed  change is  subject  to shareholder
    approval and will be  submitted to shareholders at  a meeting scheduled  for
    July  11,  1996.  If  the  proposed  change  is  approved  by  shareholders,
    management fees for PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund would thereafter be
    paid at  the following  annual rates:  0.70% of  the first  $500 million  of
    average  net assets, 0.60% of the next  $500 million, 0.55% of the next $500
    million, 0.50% of the  next $5 billion,  0.44% of the  next $5 billion,  and
    0.43%  of  any excess  thereafter. The  proposed change  would result  in an
    increase in the  fees payable  by the  Fund based on  its net  assets as  of
    December 31, 1995.

                                    SUMMARY
 
WHAT IS THE CONTRACT AND HOW MAY I PURCHASE ONE?
 
    The  Contract  offered  is  a tax-deferred  Variable  Annuity  Contract (see
"Taxation of  Annuities  in  General,"  page 22).  Generally,  the  Contract  is
purchased  by completing an application  or an order to  purchase a Contract and
submitting it, along with the initial Premium Payments, to ITT Hartford for  its
approval.  The  minimum  initial  Premium  Payment  is  $1,000  with  a  minimum
allocation to  any Fund  of $500.  Certain plans  may make  smaller initial  and
subsequent periodic premium payments. Subsequent Premium Payments, if made, must
be  a minimum  of $500.  A Contract  Owner may,  at any  time within  10 days of
delivery of a Contract  sold hereunder, return the  Contract to ITT Hartford  at
its Home Office and the value of the Contract (without deduction for any charges
normally  assessed thereunder)  will be refunded.  The Contract  Owner bears the
investment risk during the period prior to the Company's receipt of request  for
cancellation,  except  for Contract  Owners  in Georgia,  North  Carolina, South
Carolina, Washington, West Virginia,  Utah, and other  states where required  by
law who will be refunded the premiums (see "Right to Cancel Period," page 10).
 
WHO MAY PURCHASE THE CONTRACT?
 
    Any  individual, group  or trust may  purchase the  Contracts, including any
trustee or custodian for a retirement  plan which qualifies for special  Federal
tax  treatment under the  Internal Revenue Code  including individual retirement
annuities ("Qualified Contracts"). (See "Federal Tax Considerations"  commencing
on page 22 and Appendix I commencing on page 29.)
 
WHAT TYPES OF INVESTMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT?
 
    The  underlying investments  for the Contract  are shares  of Putnam Capital
Manager Trust, an open-end diversified  series investment company with  multiple
portfolios  ("the Funds")  as follows: PCM  Diversified Income  Fund, PCM Global
Asset Allocation Fund, PCM Global Growth  Fund, PCM Growth and Income Fund,  PCM
High  Yield Fund, PCM  Money Market Fund,  PCM New Opportunities  Fund, PCM U.S.
Government and High Quality Bond Fund, PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund, PCM
Voyager Fund, and such other  Funds as shall be offered  from time to time,  and
the  Fixed Account, or  a combination of  the Funds and  the Fixed Account. (See
"The Funds" commencing  on page 12  and "The Fixed  Account" commencing on  page
11.)
 
WHAT ARE THE CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACTS?
 
 SALES EXPENSES
 
    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.  (See "Contingent  Deferred  Sales Charges"
commencing on page 18.)
 
    The length  of  time from  receipt  of a  Premium  Payment to  the  time  of
surrender  determines the  contingent deferred  sales charge.  For this purpose,
Premium Payments will be deemed to be surrendered in the order in which they are
received and all surrenders  will be first from  Premium Payments and then  from
other  Contract values. The charge is a  percentage of the amount withdrawn (not
to exceed the aggregate amount of the  Premium Payments made). The charge is  as
follows:

</TABLE>
 
    No  contingent deferred sales charge will be  assessed in the event of death
of the  Annuitant or  Contract Owner,  or upon  the exercise  of the  withdrawal
privilege   or   if  Contract   Values  are   applied   to  an   Annuity  option
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
provided for under the Contract (except  that a surrender out of Annuity  Option
Four  will be subject  to a contingent deferred  sales charge where applicable).
(See "Contingent Deferred Sales Charges" commencing on page 18.)
 
 FREE WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE
 
    Withdrawals of up to 10% per Contract Year, on a noncumulative basis, of the
  Premium Payments made to a Contract may be made without the imposition of  the
  contingent  deferred sales  charge. (See  "Contingent Deferred  Sales Charges"
  commencing  on  page  18.)  Certain  plans  or  programs  may  have  different
  withdrawal privileges.
 
 MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISKS
 
    For  assuming  the  mortality  and expense  risks  under  the  Contract, ITT
Hartford will impose a 1.25% per  annum charge against all Contract Values  held
in the Separate Account (see "Mortality and Expense Risk Charge," page 19).
 
 ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE FEE
 
    The  Contract provides for administration  and Contract maintenance charges.
For administration, the  charge is .15%  per annum against  all Contract  Values
held  in  the Separate  Account.  For Contract  maintenance,  the charge  is $25
annually. (See "Administration and Maintenance Fees," page 19.) Contracts with a
Contract Value of $50,000 or  more at time of  Contract Anniversary will not  be
assessed this fee.
 
 PREMIUM TAXES
 
    A  deduction will be  made for Premium  Taxes for Contracts  sold in certain
states. (See "Premium Taxes," page 19.)
 
 CHARGES BY THE FUNDS
 
    The Funds  are subject  to  certain fees,  charges  and expenses.  (See  the
Prospectus for the Trust attached hereto.)
 
CAN I GET MY MONEY IF I NEED IT?
 
    Subject  to  any applicable  charges, the  Contract  may be  surrendered, or
portions of the value of  such Contract may be withdrawn,  at any time prior  to
the  Annuity Commencement Date. However, if less than $500 remains in a Contract
as a result  of a withdrawal,  ITT Hartford  may terminate the  Contract in  its
entirety. (See "Redemption/Surrender of a Contract," page 16.)
 
DOES THE CONTRACT PAY ANY DEATH BENEFITS?
 
    A death benefit is provided in the event of death of the Annuitant, Contract
Owner,  or Joint Contract  Owner prior to the  Annuitant's, Contract Owner's, or
Joint Contract Owner's 85th birthday and before Annuity payments have commenced.
(See "Death Benefit," page 17.)
 
WHAT ARE THE AVAILABLE ANNUITY OPTIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT?
 
    There are  five  available Annuity  options  under the  Contract  which  are
described  on page 20. The Annuity Commencement  Date may not be deferred beyond
the Annuitant's  90th  birthday  except  in certain  states  where  the  Annuity
Commencement Date may not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 85th birthday. If a
Contract  Owner does  not elect  otherwise, the  Contract Value  less applicable
premium taxes will be applied on the Annuity Commencement Date under the  second
option to provide a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain.
 
DOES THE CONTRACT OWNER HAVE ANY VOTING RIGHTS UNDER THE CONTRACT?
 
    Contract  Owners  will  have  the  right to  vote  on  matters  affecting an
underlying Fund to  the extent that  proxies are  solicited by such  Fund. If  a
Contract Owner does not vote, ITT Hartford shall vote such interests in the same
proportion  as shares of the  Fund for which instructions  have been received by
ITT Hartford. (See "Voting Rights," page 27.)

                        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.
 
   
    PCM  Diversified Income Fund,  PCM Global Asset  Allocation Fund, PCM Global
Growth Fund, PCM Growth and Income Fund,  PCM High Yield Fund, PCM Money  Market
Fund,  PCM New  Opportunities Fund,  PCM U.S.  Government and  High Quality Bond
Fund, PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund and PCM Voyager Fund Sub-Accounts may
include total return in advertisements or other sales material.
    
 
    When  a  Sub-Account  advertises  its  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  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).
 
   
    PCM  Diversified Growth  Fund, PCM  Growth and  Income Fund,  PCM High Yield
Fund, PCM U.S. Government and High  Quality Bond Fund, and PCM Utilities  Growth
and  Income 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 Contract Maintenance Fee.
    
 
   
    PCM 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 reflects the recurring charges at the Separate Account level including the
Contract Maintenance Fee.
    
 
    Total  return at the  Separate Account level  includes all Contract charges:
sales charges, mortality and expense risk charges, and the Contract  Maintenance
Fee,  and  is therefore  lower  than total  return at  the  Fund level,  with no
comparable charges. Likewise, yield at  the Separate Account level includes  all
recurring  charges (except sales charges), and  is therefore lower than yield at
the Fund level, with no comparable charges.
 
   
    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 CONTRACT
 
   
    The Putnam Capital Manager Plan is a tax-deferred Variable Annuity Contract.
Payments for the Contract will be held  in the Fixed Account and/or a series  of
the  Separate  Account.  Initially there  are  no deductions  from  your Premium
Payments (except  for  Premium Taxes,  if  applicable) so  your  entire  Premium
Payment  is put to work  in the investment Sub-Account(s)  of your choice or the
Fixed Account. Each Sub-Account invests in a different underlying Fund with  its
own  distinct  investment  objectives.  You  pick  the  Sub-Account(s)  with the
investment objectives  that  meet  your  needs.  You  may  select  one  or  more
Sub-Accounts  and/or  the Fixed  Account and  determine  the percentage  of your
Premium Payment that is  put into a  Sub-Account or the  Fixed Account. You  may
also  transfer assets among the Sub-Accounts and  the Fixed Account so that your
investment program  meets  your specific  needs  over time.  There  are  minimum
requirements  for investing in each Sub-Account  and the Fixed Account which are
described later  in  this  Prospectus.  In addition,  there  are  certain  other
limitations  on withdrawals and transfers of amounts in the Sub-Accounts and the
Fixed Account as described in this Prospectus. See "Charges Under the  Contract"
for a description of the charges for redeeming a Contract and other charges made
under the Contract.
    
 
    Generally,  the  Contract  contains  the  five  optional  forms  of  Annuity
described later  in this  Prospectus. 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 IRS, or if none is prescribed, the mortality table  then
in use by ITT Hartford.
 
    The  Contract Owner may  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  may not  be  deferred beyond  the  Annuitant's 90th
birthday, except in certain states where  the Annuity Commencement Date may  not
be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 85th birthday.
 
    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 payments are  scheduled to begin. If  you do not elect otherwise,
payments will begin at the  Annuitant's age 90 under  Option 2 with 120  monthly
payments certain (Option 1 for Contracts issued in Texas).
 
    When  an Annuity is  effected under a  Contract, unless otherwise specified,
Contract Values 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. Variable  Annuity
payments  will  vary  in  accordance  with  the  investment  performance  of the
Sub-Accounts you have selected. 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.
 
    The  Contract  offered  under  this  Prospectus  may  be  purchased  by  any
individual  ("Non-Qualified Contract") or by an individual, 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").
 
RIGHT TO CANCEL PERIOD
 
    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 sum of (i) the difference between the
Premium Payment and the amounts allocated to the Sub-Account(s) and/or the Fixed
Account  under the Contract and (ii) the Contract Value on the date of surrender
attributable to the amounts  so allocated. 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
and in those states where required by law.

                              THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
    The  Separate Account  was established on  May 20, 1991,  in accordance with
authorization by the  Board of  Directors of ITT  Hartford. 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.
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 supervision  by the Commission 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.
 
   
    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. So Contract Values allocated to  the Sub-Accounts will not be  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.  However,  the
obligations arising under the Contracts are general obligations of ITT Hartford.
    
 
    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 shares  of one  underlying Fund.  Net Premium  Payments and
proceeds of  transfers between  Funds  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 Funds  are reinvested at  net asset value.  The value of
your investment will therefore  vary in accordance with  the net income and  the
market  value of the  portfolios of the underlying  Fund(s). During the Variable
Annuity payout period, both your Annuity  payments and reserve values will  vary
in accordance with these factors.
 
    ITT  Hartford does not guarantee the investment  results of the Funds 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 and
policies,  each  is  subject to  different  risks.  These risks  are  more fully
described in the accompanying Trust Prospectus.
 
    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 held by the Separate Account. Substitution may occur only if  shares
of  the Fund(s) become unavailable or if  there are changes in applicable law or
interpretations of law.  Current law requires  notification to you  of any  such
substitution and approval of the Commission.
 
    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.
 
                               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  the
General  Account  in accordance  with applicable  laws governing  investments of
Insurance Company General Accounts.
 
                                       11

    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  a
lower  minimum interest  rate according  to state  law. ITT  Hartford may credit
interest at  a rate  in excess  of 3%  per year;  however, ITT  Hartford is  not
obligated  to credit any interest 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  or 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.
 
                                  THE 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
2999, Hartford, Connecticut 06104-2999.
    
 
   
    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 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.
 
                                   THE FUNDS
 
    The underlying investment  for the  Contracts are shares  of Putnam  Capital
Manager  Trust, an open-end diversified  series investment company with multiple
portfolios ("Funds"). The underlying Funds corresponding to each Sub-Account and
their investment  objectives  are described  below.  ITT Hartford  reserves  the
right,  subject  to compliance  with  the law,  to  offer additional  funds with
differing investment objectives. The Funds may not be available in all states.
 
PCM DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND
 
   
    Seeks high current income consistent with capital preservation by  investing
in  the following  three sections of  the fixed income  securities markets: U.S.
Government Sector,  High  Yield Sector  (which  invests primarily  in  what  are
commonly referred to as "junk bonds"), and International Sector. See the Special
Considerations  for investments in  high yield securities  described in the Fund
prospectus.
    
 
PCM GLOBAL ASSET ALLOCATION FUND
 
    Seeks a high level of long-term total return consistent with preservation of
capital by investing in U.S. equities, international equities, U.S. fixed income
securities, and international fixed income securities.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
PCM GLOBAL GROWTH FUND
 
    Seeks capital  appreciation  through  a globally  diversified  common  stock
portfolio.
 
PCM GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
 
    Seeks  capital growth  and current income  by investing  primarily in common
stocks that offer potential for capital growth, current income, or both.
 
PCM HIGH YIELD FUND
 
   
    Seeks  high  current  income   by  investing  primarily  in   high-yielding,
lower-rated  fixed  income securities  (commonly referred  to as  "junk bonds"),
constituting a diversified  portfolio which Putnam  Investment Management,  Inc.
("Putnam  Management")  believes  does  not  involve  undue  risk  to  income or
principal. Capital growth  is a  secondary objective when  consistent with  high
current  income. See  the special considerations  for investments  in high yield
securities described in the Fund prospectus.
    
 
PCM MONEY MARKET FUND
 
   
    Seeks to achieve as  high a level  of current income  as is consistent  with
preservation   of  capital  and   maintenance  of  liquidity   by  investing  in
high-quality money market instruments.
    
 
PCM NEW OPPORTUNITIES FUND
 
   
    Seeks long-term  capital appreciation  by  investing principally  in  common
stocks  of companies in sectors of  the economy which Putnam Management believes
possess above-average long-term growth potential.
    
 
PCM U.S. GOVERNMENT AND HIGH QUALITY BOND FUND
 
   
    Seeks current income  consistent with preservation  of capital by  investing
primarily in securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the
U.S.  Government  or by  its  agencies or  instrumentalities  and in  other debt
obligations rated at least A by Standard  & Poor's or Moody's or, if not  rated,
determined by Putnam Management to be of comparable quality.
    
 
PCM UTILITIES GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
 
    Seeks  capital growth and current income by concentrating its investments in
securities issued by companies in the public utilities industries.
 
PCM VOYAGER FUND
 
   
    Aggressively seeks capital appreciation primarily from a portfolio of common
stocks which Putnam Management believes have potential for capital  appreciation
which is significantly greater than that of market averages.
    
 
   
    PCM  Diversified Income Fund, PCM Global  Growth Fund, PCM Growth and Income
Fund, PCM High Yield  Fund, PCM Money Market  Fund, PCM New Opportunities  Fund,
PCM  Utilities Growth and Income Fund and PCM Voyager Fund are generally managed
in styles similar to  other open-end investment companies  which are managed  by
Putnam  Management and whose  shares are generally offered  to the public. These
other Putnam Funds may, however,  employ different investment practices and  may
invest  in  securities different  from those  in  which their  counterpart Funds
invest, and  consequently  will  not have  identical  portfolios  or  experience
identical investment results.
    
 
    The  Funds  are available  only to  serve as  the underlying  investment for
variable annuity and variable life Contracts.  A full description of the  Funds,
their  investment  objectives,  policies and  restrictions,  risks,  charges and
expenses and other aspects of their  operation is contained in the  accompanying
Trust Prospectus which should be read in conjunction with this Prospectus before
investing,  and in  the Trust Statement  of Additional Information  which may be
ordered without charge from Putnam Investor Services, Inc.
 
    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  Policy  Owners, the  Trust's  Board  of
Trustees would monitor events in order to identify
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
any  material conflicts  between such Contract  Owners and Policy  Owners and to
determine what action, if any, should be taken in response thereto. If the Board
of Trustees  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  upon
establishment of such separate funds.
 
   
    Putnam  Management, One  Post Office  Square, Boston,  Massachusetts, 02109,
serves as  the  investment manager  for  the  Funds. An  affiliate,  The  Putnam
Advisory  Company, Inc., manages domestic and foreign institutional accounts and
mutual funds.  Another  affiliate ,  Putnam  Fiduciary Trust  Company,  provides
investment  advice  to institutional  clients  under its  banking  and fiduciary
policies. Putnam Management and its affiliates are wholly-owned subsidiaries  of
Marsh  &  McLennan  Companies,  Inc., a  publicly  owned  holding  company whose
principal businesses are international insurance brokerage and employee  benefit
consulting.
    
 
   
    Subject  to  the general  oversight  of the  Trustees  of the  Trust, Putnam
Management manages  the  Funds'  portfolios  in  accordance  with  their  stated
investment  objectives and policies,  makes investment decisions  for the Funds,
places orders  to purchase  and sell  securities  on behalf  of the  Funds,  and
administers  the affairs of  the Funds. For  its services, the  Funds pay Putnam
Management a quarterly  fee. See the  accompanying Trust Prospectus  for a  more
complete description of Putnam Management and the respective fees of the Funds.
    
 
                                OPERATION OF THE
                          CONTRACT/ACCUMULATION PERIOD
 
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
 
    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 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 or  the entire  Premium Payment  will be  immediately  returned
unless  you have been informed of the delay and request that the Premium Payment
not be returned.
 
    Subsequent Premium Payments are priced on the Valuation Day received by  ITT
Hartford in its Home Office or other designated administrative offices.
 
    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.
 
    The  minimum initial Premium Payment is $1,000. Subsequent Premium Payments,
if made, must be a minimum of  $500. Certain plans may make smaller initial  and
subsequent  periodic  payments.  Each Premium  Payment  may be  split  among the
various Sub-Accounts and the  Fixed Account subject to  minimum amounts then  in
effect.
 
VALUE OF ACCUMULATION UNITS
 
    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 Trust Prospectus which accompanies this Prospectus for a
description of how the assets of  each Fund are valued since each  determination
has a direct bearing
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
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.
 
    The shares of the Fund are valued at net asset value on each Valuation  Day.
A  description of the valuation methods used in valuing Fund shares may be found
in the accompanying Prospectus of the Trust.
 
VALUE OF THE FIXED ACCOUNT
 
    ITT Hartford will  determine the  value of  the Fixed  Account by  crediting
interest  to amounts allocated  to the Fixed Account.  The minimum Fixed Account
interest rate  is 3%,  compounded  annually. ITT  Hartford  may credit  a  lower
minimum  interest rates  according to state  law. ITT Hartford,  also may credit
interest at rates greater than the minimum Fixed Account interest rate.
 
VALUE OF THE CONTRACT
 
    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 semi-annually 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.
 
TRANSFERS AMONG SUB-ACCOUNTS
 
    You may transfer the values of your Sub-Account allocations from one or more
Sub-Accounts  to another free of  charge. Transfers by telephone  may be made by
calling (800) 521-0538. Telephone transfers may not be permitted by some  states
for  their  residents who  purchase  variable annuities.  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. ITT
Hartford  may  permit  the  Contract  Owner  to  preauthorize  transfers   among
Sub-Accounts  and between the  Sub-Accounts and the  Fixed Account under certain
circumstances. 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 on behalf of a Contract
Owner identify themselves  and the Contract  Owner by name  and social  security
number. All transfer instructions by telephone are tape recorded.
 
    The  right to reallocate Contract Values between the Sub-Accounts is subject
to modification if  ITT Hartford determines,  in its sole  discretion, 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 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.
 
    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
presently required in any Sub-Account.
 
TRANSFERS BETWEEN THE FIXED ACCOUNT AND THE SUB-ACCOUNTS
 
    Subject  to  the  restrictions set  forth  above, 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.   However,
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
if any interest rate  is renewed at  a rate 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 sixty  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.
 
REDEMPTION/SURRENDER OF A CONTRACT
 
    At  any time  prior to  the Annuity Commencement  Date, you  have the right,
subject to any IRS provisions applicable thereto, to surrender the value of  the
Contract  in  whole  or in  part.  Surrenders  are not  permitted  after Annuity
payments commence EXCEPT that  a full surrender is  allowed when payments for  a
designated period (Option 4 or 5) are selected as the Annuity option.
 
    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),
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. The Termination Value of the Contract is equal to the Contract Value
less any applicable Premium Taxes,  the Contract 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 (and,  for Texas Contracts, there  were no Premium Payments  made
during  the  preceding  two  Contract Years),  ITT  Hartford  may  terminate the
Contract and pay the Termination Value.
 
    During the Contract Year, on  a non-cumulative basis, partial surrenders  of
Contract  Values of  up to  10% of  the aggregate  Premium Payments  made to the
Contract may be  made without  being subject  to the  contingent deferred  sales
charge.  Certain plans or programs may have different withdrawal privileges. ITT
Hartford may  permit  the  Contract Owner  to  preauthorize  partial  surrenders
subject to certain limitations then in effect.
 
    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 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 22.)
 
    Payment on any request for a full or partial surrender from the Sub-Accounts
and/or  the Fixed Account 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  Operations, 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. In requesting a partial withdrawal
you should specify the  Fixed Account and/or the  Sub-Account(s) 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. Within
this context, the contingent
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
deferred sales charges are taken from the Premium Payments in the order in which
they were received:  from the earliest  Premium Payments to  the latest  Premium
Payments. (See "Contingent Deferred Sales Charges," page 18.)
 
                                 DEATH BENEFIT
 
    The  Contracts  provide that  in  the event  the  Annuitant dies  before the
Annuity Commencement Date, the 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 Minimum 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.  If  the
deceased,  the Annuitant or Contract Owner,  as applicable, had attained age 85,
then the Death Benefit  will equal the Contract  Value. However, if, upon  death
prior  to the  Annuity Commencement  Date, the  Annuitant or  Contract Owner, as
applicable, had not attained his 85th birthday, the Beneficiary will receive the
greater 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  Contract Value on the  Specified Contract Anniversary immediately preceding
the date of death, increased by the  dollar amount of any Premium Payments  made
and  reduced  by  the  dollar  amount  of  any  partial  terminations  since the
immediately preceding Specified Contract Anniversary in all states except  North
Carolina where the Beneficiary will receive the greater of the Contract Value or
the Premium Payments as set forth in (a) and (b) above.
 
    Death  Benefit  proceeds will  remain invested  in  the Separate  Account in
accordance with the allocation instructions given by the Certificate 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.  Notwithstanding the  foregoing, 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 proceeds due on the death may be applied to provide variable
payments, fixed payments, or a combination of variable and fixed payments.
 
    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 wherever (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 Commission;  (b)
the  Commission  permits  postponement  and so  orders;  or  (c)  the Commission
determines that an emergency exists  making valuation of disposal of  securities
not reasonably practicable.
 
    For  a discussion of the manner in which Annuity payments are determined and
may vary from month to month see "Determination of Payment Amount," page 21.

                           CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACT
 
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.  For this purpose,
Premium Payments will be deemed to be surrendered in the order in which they are
received and all surrenders  will be first from  Premium Payments and then  from
other  Contract Values. The charge is a  percentage of the amount withdrawn, not
to exceed the aggregate amount of the Premium Payments made, and equals:
 
<TABLE>

            0%             8 or more
</TABLE>
 
    No contingent deferred sales charge will  be assessed on a distribution  due
to  the death  of the  Annuitant or  Contract Owner,  or if  Contract Values are
applied to an  Annuity option  provided for under  the Contract  (except that  a
surrender  out of Option 4 will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
if applicable) or upon the exercise of the withdrawal privilege.
 
    In the case of a redemption in which you request a certain dollar amount  be
withdrawn,  the  sales charge  is  deducted from  the  amount withdrawn  and the
balance is paid to you.  Example: You request a  total withdrawal of $1,000  and
the  applicable sales load  is 5%. Your Sub-Account(s)  and/or the Fixed Account
will be reduced  by $1,000 and  you will  receive $950 (i.e.,  the $1,000  total
withdrawal  less the 5% sales  charge). This is also  the method applicable on a
full surrender of your Contract.  In the case of  a partial redemption in  which
you  request to receive a specified amount,  the sales charge will be calculated
on the total amount that must  be withdrawn from your Sub-Account(s) and/or  the
Fixed  Account in order to  provide you with the  amount requested. Example: You
request to  receive $1,000  and the  applicable sales  charge is  5%. Your  Sub-
Account(s)  and/or the Fixed Account will be reduced by $1,052.63 (i.e., a total
withdrawal of $1,052.63 which results in a $52.63 sales charge ($1,052.63 x  5%)
and a net amount paid to you of $1,000 as requested). This example does not take
into account the Free Withdrawal Privilege described below.
 
    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, the expenses 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.
 
FREE WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE
 
    During any Contract year (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 described above. 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 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 as  set
forth above.
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
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,  including the  payout period,
(estimated at .90% for mortality and .35% for expense).
 
    The mortality  undertaking 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. In that
event, a loss will fall on ITT Hartford.  Also, in the event of the death of  an
Annuitant  or Contract  Owner prior  to age  85 and  before the  commencement of
Annuity payments,  whichever  is  earlier,  ITT  Hartford  can,  in  periods  of
declining  value,  experience  a  loss  resulting  from  the  assumption  of the
mortality risk relative to the minimum death benefit.
 
    In providing an expense undertaking, ITT Hartford assumes the risk that  the
contingent  deferred sales charges  and the Administration  and Maintenance Fees
for maintaining the  Contracts prior  to the  Annuity Commencement  Date may  be
insufficient to cover the actual cost of providing such items.
 
ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE FEES
 
    ITT  Hartford will deduct certain fees  from Contract Values to reimburse it
for expenses relating to the administration and maintenance of the Contract  and
the  Fixed Account. For Contract maintenance, ITT Hartford will deduct an annual
fee of $25 on  each Contract Anniversary on  or before the Annuity  Commencement
Date.  The  deduction will  be  made pro  rata according  to  the value  in each
Sub-Account and the Fixed  Account under a Contract.  If during a Contract  Year
the  Contract is surrendered  for its full  value, ITT Hartford  will deduct the
Contract Maintenance Fee at the time of such surrender. For administration,  ITT
Hartford makes a daily charge at the rate of .15% per annum against all Contract
Values  held in  the Separate Account  during both the  accumulation and annuity
phases of the  Contract. There  is not  necessarily a  relationship between  the
amount  of administrative charge imposed  on a given Contract  and the amount of
expenses that may be attributable to that Contract; expenses may be more or less
than the charge.
 
    The types of expenses incurred by the Separate Account include, but are  not
limited  to, expenses  of issuing the  Contract and  expenses for confirmations,
Contract  quarterly  statements,   processing  of   transfers  and   surrenders,
responding   to  Contract  Owner  inquiries,  reconciling  and  depositing  cash
receipts, calculation  and monitoring  daily Sub-Account  unit values,  Separate
Account  reporting,  including semiannual  and  annual reports  and  mailing and
tabulation of shareholder proxy solicitations.
 
    You should refer to the Trust Prospectus for a description of deductions and
expenses paid out of the assets of the Trust's portfolios.
 
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.

<PAGE>
                                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  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 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 ITT Hartford, 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.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
    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 ITT
Hartford.
 
    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.
 
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 "Value  of Accumulation Units,"
commencing on page 14)  for the day  for which the Annuity  Unit value is  being
calculated  and (2) a factor to neutralize  the assumed investment rate of 4.00%
per annum discussed below.
 
DETERMINATION OF PAYMENT AMOUNT
 
    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  Contract  contains
Annuity  tables derived from  the 1983a Individual  Annuity Mortality Table with
ages set back one year and with an assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 4%  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  Annuity payments are  determined at annuitization  by multiplying the
values allocated to the Fixed Account (less applicable Premium Taxes) 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.
 
    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 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  A.I.R. ASSUMED  IN THE  MORTALITY TABLES  WOULD PRODUCE  LEVEL VARIABLE
ANNUITY PAYMENTS IF  THE INVESTMENT  RATE REMAINED CONSTANT.  IN FACT,  PAYMENTS
WILL VARY UP OR DOWN AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN FROM THE A.I.R.
 
    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.

                           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.
 
    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  29, 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  14). 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.
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
    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  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,
    
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
   
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 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.
    
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
   
       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  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
    
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
   
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   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
may  be  imposed  by  the  purchaser's  country  of  citizenship  or  residence.
Prospective  purchasers  are advised  to consult  with  a qualified  tax advisor
regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity purchase.
    
 
                                GENERAL MATTERS
 
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.  (See  "Taxation of  Annuities  in  General  -- Non-Tax
Qualified Purchasers," page   .)
 
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
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
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.
 
DELAY OF PAYMENTS
 
    There may be postponement of a  surrender payment or death benefit  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
Commission;  (b) the Commission  permits postponement and so  orders; or (c) the
Commission determines that an emergency  exists making valuation or disposal  of
securities not reasonably practicable.
 
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 notify you of any Fund shareholders' meeting if the shares
held for your account may be voted at such meetings. ITT Hartford will also 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.
 
    In  connection with the voting of Fund  shares held by it, ITT Hartford will
arrange for  the handling  and  tallying of  voting instructions  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.
In the event that the Contract Owner gives no instructions or leaves the  manner
of  voting discretionary, ITT Hartford will  vote such shares of the appropriate
Fund in the same proportion as shares  of that Fund for which instructions  have
been  received. During the Annuity  period under a Contract  the number of votes
will decrease as the assets held to Fund Annuity benefits decrease.
 
DISTRIBUTION OF THE 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 Commission  under the Securities Exchange Act  of
1934  as  a  Broker-Dealer  and  is a  member  of  the  National  Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.
    
 
   
    Commissions will be paid  by ITT Hartford  and will not be  more than 6%  of
Premium Payments.
    
 
   
    From  time  to  time,  ITT  Hartford may  pay  or  permit  other promotional
incentives, in cash or credit or other compensation.

<PAGE>
OTHER CONTRACTS OFFERED
 
    In  addition  to  the  Contracts   described  in  this  Prospectus,  it   is
contemplated  that other forms of group  or individual Variable Annuities may be
sold providing benefits which vary in accordance with the investment  experience
of the Separate Account.
 
CUSTODIAN OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS
 
    The  assets  of  the Separate  Account  are  held by  ITT  Hartford  under a
safekeeping arrangement.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
    There are no legal proceedings to which  the Separate Account is a party  or
to which the assets of the Separate Account are subject. ITT Hartford and Putnam
Management  are engaged in various matters  of routine litigation which in their
judgments are not of material importance  in relation to their respective  total
assets.
 
EXPERTS
 
   
    The  financial statements included in  this registration statement have been
audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, 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

                   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
    
 
                                       29
<PAGE>
   
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  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 distribu ted beginning no  later
than  this required beginni ng 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.
    
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
   
    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.
    
 
   
    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 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 Forms of 
Annuity," page     of the Prospectus).

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 following ten Portfolios ("Funds") 
of Putnam Capital Manager Trust, an open-end diversified series investment 
company:  PCM Diversified Income Fund, PCM Global Asset Allocation Fund, PCM 
Global Growth Fund, PCM Growth and Income Fund, PCM High Yield Fund, PCM 
Money Market Fund, PCM New Opportunities Fund, PCM U.S. Government and High 
Quality Bond Fund, PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund and PCM Voyager Fund.

Shares of the Funds are purchased by the Separate Account without the imposition
of any additional 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.

The Contracts provide that in the event the Annuitant dies before the selected
Annuity Commencement Date, the Contingent Annuitant will become the Annuitant. 
If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date and there is no
designated Contingent Annuitant, or the Contingent Annuitant predeceases the 
Annuitant, or if the Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement 
Date, the Beneficiary will receive the Contract Value determined on the date 
of receipt of due proof of death by ITT Hartford in its Home Office.  
However, if, upon death prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Annuitant 
or Contract Owner, as applicable, had not attained his 85th birthday, the 
Beneficiary will receive the greater 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 Contract Value on the Specified Contract 
Anniversary immediately preceding the date of death, increased by the dollar 
amount of any Premium Payments made and reduced by the dollar amount of any 
partial terminations since the immediately preceding Specified Contract 
Anniversary.

                                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,independent 
public accountants, will perform an annual audit of the Separate Account.  
The financial statements included in this Statement of Additional Information 
have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP to the extent and for the periods 
indicated in their report and are included herein reliance upon the report of 
said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. 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.


<PAGE>

                                         -6-

HSD is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities 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.

The offering of the Separate Account contracts is continuous.

                                ANNUITY/PAYOUT PERIOD

                                   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 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 "Mortality and Expense Risk Charge," 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.

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 "Valuation of Accumulation Units,"

DETERMINATION OF PAYMENT AMOUNT

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 Contract 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  4.00% 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 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. 

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.

The A.I.R. assumed in the mortality tables would produce level Variable Annuity
payments if the investment rate remained constant.  In fact, payments will vary
up or down as the investment rate varies up or down from the A.I.R.  

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 PCM MONEY MARKET FUND SUB-ACCOUNT.  As summarized in the Prospectus
under the heading "Performance Related Information," the yield of the
Sub-Account for a seven day period (the "base period") will be computed by
determining the "net change in value" of a hypothetical account having a balance
of one unit 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 dividends as declared by the underlying funds, less expense
and Contract 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 effective yield is calculated by compounding the base period return by
adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to 365/7 and subtracting 1 from the
result, according to the following formula:

    Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1) (365/7)] - 1

The Money Market Fund Sub-Account's yield and effective yield will vary in
response to fluctuations in interest rates and in the expenses of the
Sub-Account.
                                           
The yield and effective yield for the Sub-Account for the seven-day period
ending December 31, 1995 is as follows:

    Yield             =    4.44%
    Effective Yield   =    4.54%

The Diversified Income Fund, Global Asset Allocation Fund, Growth and Income 
Fund, High Yield Fund, Utilities Growth and Income Fund, and U.S. Government 
and High Quality Bond 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 Funds.

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; (2) assuming redemption at
the end of the period and deducting any applicable 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.

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.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
                                           
YIELD AND TOTAL RETURN.  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.  Index performance
is not representative of the performance of the PCM Sub-Account to which it is
compared and is not adjusted for commissions and other costs.  Portfolio
holdings of the PCM Sub-Account will differ from those of the index to which it
is compared.  Performance comparison indices include the following:

The Consumer Price Index, prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a
commonly used measure of the rate of inflation.  The index shows the average
change in the cost of selected consumer goods and services and does not
represent a return on an investment vehicle.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an unmanaged list of 30 common stocks
frequently used as a general measure of stock market performance.  Its
performance figures reflect changes of market prices and reinvestment of all
distributions.

Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged list of publicly issued,
fixed-rate, non-convertible investment-grade domestic corporate debt securities
frequently used as a general measure of the performance of fixed-income
securities.  The average quality of bonds included in the index may be higher 
than the average quality of those bonds in which PCM High Yield Fund customarily
invests.  The index does not include bonds in certain of the lower rating
classifications in which the Fund may invest.  The performance figures of the
index reflect changes in market prices and reinvestment of all interest
payments.

The Lehman Brothers 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 not included in the SL Government Index.

The Lehman Brothers 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 index does not include bonds in certain of the lower-rating
classifications in which PCM High Yield Fund invests.  Its performance figures
reflect changes in market prices and reinvestment of all interest payments.

Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index is an unmanaged list of
approximately 1,450 equity securities listed on the stock exchanges of the
United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Far East, with all
values expressed in U.S. dollars.  Performance figures reflect changes in market
prices and reinvestment of distributions net of withholding taxes.  The
securities in the index change over time to maintain representativeness.

The NASDAQ-OTC Industrial Average (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.  Its performance figures reflect changes of market prices but do not
reflect reinvestment of cash dividends.
                                           
Salomon Brothers Long-Term High-Grade Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged list
of publicly traded corporate bonds having a rating of at least AA by Standard &
Poor's or Aa by Moody's and is frequently used as general measure of the
performance of fixed-income securities.  The average quality of bonds included
in the index may be higher than the average quality of those bonds in which PCM
High Yield customarily invests.  The index does not include bonds in certain of
the lower rating classifications in which the Fund may invest.  Performance
figures for the index reflect changes of market prices and reinvestment of all
distributions.

The Salomon Brothers 7-10 Year Government Bond Index is an unmanaged list of 
U.S. Government and government agency securities with maturities of 7 to 10 
years.  Performance figures for the index reflect changes of market prices 
and reinvestment of all interest payments. The Standard & Poor's Composite 
Index of 500 stocks (the "S&P 500") is a market value-weighted and unmanaged 
index showing 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.  Its performance figures reflect changes of market 
prices and reinvestment of all regular cash dividends.

The Standard & Poor's 40 Utilities Index is unmanaged list of 40 utility 
stocks. The Index assumes reinvestment of all distributions and reflects 
changes in market prices but does not take into account brokerage commissions 
or other fees.  PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund's telephone and electric 
utility stocks are generally held in the same proportion as the telephone and 
electric stocks in the S&P Utilities Index.  However, there are some utility 
stocks held by the Fund that are not part of the Index.

The manner in which total return and yield will be calculated for public use is
described above.

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. 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 Funds is 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 principle 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. The Company also provides administrative services and receives
an annual fee of 0.15% 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.

            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.

                            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-

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-

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

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-

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.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

         As of December 31, 1995 there were           contract owners.

Item 28. Indemnification

The directors and officers of ITT Hartford and Hartford Securities Distribution
Company, Inc. ("HSD") are covered under a directors and officers liability
insurance policy issued to ITT Hartford Group, Inc.,  and its subsidiaries.
Such policy will reimburse the Registrant for any payments that it shall make to
directors and officers pursuant to law and will, subject to certain exclusions
contained in the policy, further pay any other costs, charges and expenses and
settlements and judgments arising from any proceeding involving any director or
officer of the Registrant in his past or present capacity as such, and for which
he may be liable, except as to any liabilities arising from acts that are deemed
to be uninsurable.

The Registrant hereby undertakes that insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the

<PAGE>

                                       -4-

successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                                   WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of ILA has made provision for the establishment
of a separate account within ILA in accordance with the laws of the State of
Wisconsin, which separate account was organized and is established and
registered as a unit investment trust type investment company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940
("1940 Act"), as amended, and which is designated ITT Hartford Life and Annuity
Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Two (referred to
as the "UIT"); and

WHEREAS, HSD offers to the public a certain Flexible Premium Variable Annuity
Insurance Contract (the "Contract") issued by ILA with respect to the UIT units
of interest thereunder which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933
("1933 Act"), as amended; and

WHEREAS, HSD has previously agreed to act as distributor in connection with
offers and sales of the Contract under the terms and conditions set forth in
this Principal Underwriter Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements made herein, ILA and
HSD agree as follows:

                                       I.

                                  HSD'S DUTIES

1.  HSD, as successor principal underwriter to Hartford Equity Sales Company,
    Inc. for the Contract, will use its best efforts to effect offers and sales
    of the Contract through broker-dealers that are members of the National
    Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and whose registered
    representatives are duly licensed as insurance agents of ILA.  HSD is
    responsible for compliance with all applicable requirements of the 1933
    Act, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), as
    amended, and the 1940 Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations

    relating to the creation of the UIT.

                                       -2-

2.  HSD agrees that it will not use any prospectus, sales literature, or any
    other printed matter or material or offer for sale or sell the Contract if
    any of the foregoing in any way represent the duties, obligations, or
    liabilities of ILA as being greater than, or different from, such duties,
    obligations and liabilities as are set forth in this Agreement, as it may
    be amended from time to time.

3.  HSD agrees that it will utilize the then currently effective prospectus
    relating to the UIT's Contracts in connection with its selling efforts.

    As to the other types of sales materials, HSD agrees that it will use only
    sales materials which conform to the requirements of federal and state
    insurance laws and regulations and which have been filed, where necessary,
    with the appropriate regulatory authorities.

4.  HSD agrees that it or its duly designated agent shall maintain records of
    the name and address of, and the securities issued by the UIT and held by,
    every holder of any security issued pursuant to this Agreement, as required
    by the Section 26(a)(4) of the 1940 Act, as amended.

5.  HSD's services pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be
    exclusive, and it may render similar services and act as an underwriter,
    distributor, or dealer for other investment companies in the offering of
    their shares.

6.  In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
    reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder on the part of
    HSD, HSD shall not be subject to liability under a Contract for any act or
    omission in the course, or connected with, rendering services hereunder.

                                       II.

1.  The UIT reserves the right at any time to suspend or limit the public
    offering of the Contracts upon 30 days' written notice to HSD, except where
    the notice period may be shortened because of legal action taken by any
    regulatory agency.

2.  The UIT agrees to advice HSD immediately:

    (a) Of any request by the Securities and Exchange Commission for amendment
        of its 1933 Act registration statement or for additional information;

    (b) Of the issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission of any stop
        order suspending the effectiveness of the 1933 Act registration
        statement relating to units of interest issued with respect to the UIT
        or of the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

<PAGE>

                                       -3-

     (c) Of the happening of any material event, if known, which makes untrue
         any statement in said 1933 Act registration statement or which requires
         a change therein in order to make any statement therein not misleading.

      ILA will furnish to HSD such information with respect to the UIT and the
      Contracts in such form and signed by such of its officers and directors
      and HSD may reasonably request and will warrant that the statements
      therein contained when so signed will be true and correct.  ILA will also
      furnish, from time to time, such additional information regarding the
      UIT's financial condition as HSD may reasonably request.

                                      III.

                                  COMPENSATION

In accordance with an Expense Reimbursement Agreement between ILA and HSD, HSD
is obligated to reimburse HSD for all operating expenses associated with the
services provided on behalf of the UIT under this Principal Underwriter
Agreement.  No additional compensation is payable in excess of that required
under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement.

                                       IV.

                RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

HSD may resign as a Principal Underwriter hereunder, upon 120 days' prior
written notice to ILA.  However, such resignation shall not become effective
until either the UIT has been completely liquidated and the proceeds of the
liquidation distributed through ILA to the Contract owners or a successor
Principal Underwriter has been designated and has accepted its duties.

                                       V.

                              SUPERVISION AGREEMENT

This Broker-Dealer Sales and Supervision Agreement ("Agreement")
dated ____________________ is made by and between Hartford Life Insurance
Company and ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (referred to
collectively as "Companies"), Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc.
("Distributor"), a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act")
and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")
and __________________________________, who is also a broker-dealer registered
with the SEC under the 1934 Act and a member of the NASD ("Broker-Dealer"), and
any and all undersigned insurance agency affiliates ("Affiliates") of Broker-
Dealer.

WHEREAS, Companies offer certain variable life insurance policies and variable
and modified guaranteed annuity contracts which are deemed to be securities
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registered Products"); and

WHEREAS, Companies wish to appoint the Broker-Dealer and Affiliates as agents of
the Companies for the solicitation and procurement of applications for
Registered Products; and

WHEREAS, Distributor is the principal underwriter of the Registered Products;
and

WHEREAS, Distributor anticipates having registered representatives who are
associated with Broker-Dealer ("Registered Representatives"), who are NASD
registered and are duly licensed under applicable state insurance law and
appointed as life insurance agents of Companies solicit and sell the Registered
Products; and

WHEREAS, Distributor acknowledges that the Broker-Dealer will provide certain
supervisory and administrative services to Registered Representatives who are
associated with the Broker-Dealer in connection with the solicitation, service
and sale of the Registered Products; and

WHEREAS, Broker-Dealer agrees to provide the aforementioned supervisory services
to its Registered Representatives who have been appointed by the Companies to
sell the Registered Products.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement, the parties agree to the following:


  I. APPOINTMENT OF THE BROKER-DEALER

     The Companies hereby appoint Broker-Dealer as an agent of the Companies for
     the solicitation and procurement of applications for the Registered
     Products offered by the Companies, as outlined in Exhibit A attached
     herein, in all states in which the Companies are authorized to do business
     and in which Broker-Dealer or any Affiliates are properly licensed.
     Distributor hereby authorizes Broker-Dealer under the securities laws to
     supervise Registered Representatives in connection with the solicitation,
     service and sale of the Registered Products.

 II. AUTHORITY OF THE BROKER-DEALER

<PAGE>

     Broker-Dealer has the authority to represent Distributor and Companies only
     to the extent expressly granted in this Agreement.  Broker-Dealer and any
     Registered Representatives shall not hold themselves out to be employees of
     Companies or Distributor in any dealings with the public.  Broker-Dealer
     and any Registered Representatives shall be independent contractors as to
     Distributor or Companies.  Nothing contained herein is intended to create a
     relationship of employer and employee between Broker-Dealer and Distributor
     or Companies or between Registered Representatives and Distributor or
     Companies.

III. BROKER-DEALER REPRESENTATION

     Broker-Dealer represents that it is a registered broker-dealer under the
     1934 Act, a member in good standing of the NASD, and is registered as a
     broker-dealer under state law to the extent necessary to perform the duties
     described in this Agreement.  Broker-Dealer represents that its Registered
     Representatives, who will be soliciting applications for the Registered
     Products, will be duly registered representatives associated with Broker-
     Dealer and that they will be representatives in good standing with
     accreditation as required by the NASD to sell the Registered Products.
     Broker-Dealer agrees to abide by all rules and regulations of the NASD,
     including its Rules of Fair Practice, and to comply with all applicable
     state and federal laws and the rules and regulations of authorized
     regulatory agencies affecting the sale of the Registered Products.

 IV. BROKER-DEALER OBLIGATIONS

   (a)     TRAINING AND SUPERVISION
           Broker-Dealer has full responsibility for the training and
           supervision of all Registered Representatives associated with
           Broker-Dealer and any other persons who are engaged directly or
           indirectly in the offer or sale of the Registered Products.  Broker-
           Dealer shall, during the term of this Agreement, establish and
           implement reasonable procedures for periodic inspection and
           supervision of sales practices of its Registered Representatives.

           If a Registered Representative ceases to be a Registered
           Representative of Broker-Dealer, is disqualified for continued
           registration or has their registration suspended by the NASD or
           otherwise fails to meet the rules and standards imposed by Broker-
           Dealer, Broker-Dealer shall immediately notify such Registered
           Representative that he or she is no longer authorized to solicit
           applications, on behalf of the Companies, for the sale of Registered
           Products.  Broker-Dealer shall immediately notify Distributor of
           such termination or suspension.

   (b)     SOLICITATION
           Broker-Dealer agrees to supervise its Registered Representatives so
           that they will only solicit applications in states where the
           Registered Products are approved for sale in accordance with
           applicable state and federal laws.  Broker-Dealer shall be notified
           by Companies or Distributor of the availability of the Registered
           Products in each state.

   (c)     NO CHURNING
           Broker-Dealer and any Registered Representatives shall not make any
           misrepresentation or incomplete comparison of products for the
           purpose of inducing a policyholder to lapse, forfeit or surrender
           its insurance in favor of purchasing a Registered Product.

   (d)     PROSPECTUS DELIVERY AND SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS
           Broker-Dealer shall ensure that its Registered Representatives
           comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the
           Securities Act of 1933.  In addition, Broker-Dealer shall ensure
           that its Registered Representatives shall not make recommendations
           to an applicant to purchase a Registered Product in the absence of
           reasonable grounds to believe that the


                                        2
<PAGE>


           purchase is suitable for such applicant, as outlined in the
           suitability requirements of the 1934 Act and the NASD Rules of Fair
           Practice.  Broker-Dealer shall  ensure that each application
           obtained by its Registered Representatives shall bear evidence of
           approval by one of its principals indicating that the application
           has been reviewed for suitability.


   (e)     PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
           Broker-Dealer and its Registered Representatives are not authorized
           to provide any information or make any representation in connection
           with this Agreement or the solicitation of the Registered Products
           other than those contained in the prospectus or other promotional
           material produced or authorized by Companies or Distributor.

           Broker-Dealer agrees that if it develops any promotional material
           for sales, training, explanatory or other purposes in connection
           with the solicitation of applications for Registered Products,
           including generic advertising and/or training materials which may be
           used in connection with the sale of Registered Products, it will
           obtain the prior written consent of Distributor, and where
           appropriate, approval of Companies, such approval not to be
           unreasonably withheld.

   (f)     RECORD KEEPING
           Broker-Dealer is responsible for maintaining the records of its
           Registered Representatives.  Broker-Dealer shall maintain such other
           records as are required of it by applicable laws and regulations.
           The books, accounts and records maintained by Broker-Dealer that
           relate to the sale of the Registered Products, or dealings with the
           Companies, Distributor and/or Broker-Dealer shall be maintained so
           as to clearly and accurately disclose the nature and details of each
           transaction.

           Broker-Dealer acknowledges that all the records maintained by
           Broker-Dealer relating to the solicitation, service or sale of the
           Registered Products subject to this Agreement, including but not
           limited to applications, authorization cards, complaint files and
           suitability reviews, shall be available to Companies and Distributor
           upon request during normal business hours.  Companies and
           Distributor may retain copies of any such records which Companies
           and Distributor, in their discretion, deems necessary or desirable
           to keep.

   (g)     REFUND OF COMPENSATION
           Broker-Dealer agrees to repay Companies the total amount of any
           compensation which may have been paid to it within thirty (30)
           business days of notice of the request for such refund should
           Companies for any reason return any premium on a Registered Product
           which was solicited by a Registered Representative of Broker-Dealer.


   (h)     PREMIUM COLLECTION
           Broker-Dealer only has the authority to collect initial premiums
           unless specifically set forth in the applicable commission schedule.
           Unless previously authorized by Distributor, neither Broker-Dealer
           nor any of its Registered Representatives shall have any right to
           withhold or deduct any part of any premium it shall receive for
           purposes of payment of commission or otherwise.



V. COMPANIES AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR OBLIGATIONS

   (a)     PROSPECTUS/PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
           Companies and/or Distributor will provide Broker-Dealer with
           reasonable quantities of the currently effective prospectus for the
           Registered Products and appropriate sales promotional


                                        3
<PAGE>


           material which has been filed with the NASD, and applicable state
           insurance departments.

   (b)     COMPENSATION
           Distributor will pay Broker-Dealer as full compensation for all
           services rendered by Broker-Dealer under this Agreement, commissions
           and/or service fees in the amounts, in the manner and for the period
           of time as set forth in the Commission Schedules attached to this
           Agreement or subsequently made a part hereof, and which are in
           effect at the time such Registered Products are sold.  The manner of
           commission payments (I.E. fronted or trail) is not subject to change
           after the effective date of a contract for which the compensation is
           payable.

           Distributor or Companies may change the Commission Schedules
           attached to this Agreement at any time.  Such change shall become
           effective only when Distributor or Companies provide the Broker-
           Dealer with written notice of the change.  No such change shall
           affect any contracts issued upon applications received by Companies
           at Companies' Home Office prior to the effective date of such
           change.

           Distributor agrees to identify to Broker-Dealer for each such
           payment, the name of the Registered Representative of Broker-Dealer
           who solicited each contract covered by the payment.  Distributor
           will not compensate Broker-Dealer for any Registered Product which
           is tendered for redemption after acceptance of the application.  Any
           chargebacks will be assessed against the Broker-Dealer of record at
           the time of the redemption.

           Distributor will only compensate Broker-Dealer or Affiliates, as
           outlined below, for those applications accepted by Companies, and
           only after receipt by Companies at Companies' Home Office or at such
           other location as Companies may designate from time to time for its
           various lines of business, of the required premium and compliance by
           Broker-Dealer with any outstanding contract and prospectus delivery
           requirements.

           In the event that this Agreement terminates for fraudulent
           activities or due to a material breach by the Broker-Dealer,
           Distributor will only pay to Broker-Dealer or Affiliate commissions
           or other compensation earned prior to discovery of events requiring
           termination. No further commissions or other compensation shall
           thereafter be payable.

   (c)     COMPENSATION PAYABLE TO AFFILIATES
           If Broker-Dealer is unable to comply with state licensing
           requirements because of a legal impediment which prohibits a non-
           domiciliary corporation from becoming a licensed insurance agency or
           prohibits non-resident ownership of a licensed insurance agency,
           Distributor agrees to pay compensation to Broker-Dealer's
           contractually affiliated insurance agency, a wholly-owned life
           agency affiliate of Broker-Dealer, or a Registered Representative or
           principal of Broker-Dealer who is properly state licensed.  As
           appropriate, any reference in this Agreement to Broker-Dealer shall
           apply equally to such Affiliate. Distributor agrees to pay
           compensation to an Affiliate subject to Affiliates agreement to
           comply with the requirements of Exhibit B, attached hereto.


 VI.   TERMINATION

   (a)     This Agreement may be terminated by any party by giving thirty (30)
           days' notice in writing to the other party.

   (b)     Such notice of termination shall be mailed to the last known address
           of Broker-Dealer appearing on Companies' records, or in the event of
           termination by Broker-Dealer, to the Home Office of Companies at
           P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, Connecticut 06104-2999.

   (c)     Such notice shall be an effective notice of termination of this
           Agreement as of the time the notice is deposited in the United
           States mail or the time of actual receipt of such notice if
           delivered by means other than mail.

   (d)     This Agreement shall automatically terminate without notice upon the
           occurrence of any of the events set forth below:

       (1) Upon the bankruptcy or dissolution of Broker-Dealer.

       (2) When and if Broker-Dealer commits fraud or gross negligence in the
           performance of any duties imposed upon Broker-Dealer by this
           Agreement or wrongfully withholds or misappropriates, for Broker-

                                    EXHIBIT B

In accordance with Section V.(c) of the Broker-Dealer-Dealer Sales and
Supervision Agreement, no compensation is payable unless Broker-Dealer and
Registered Representative have first complied with all applicable state
insurance laws, rules and regulations.  Distributor must ensure that any Broker-
Dealer with whom Distributor intends to enter into an Agreement and any
Registered Representatives meet the licensing and registration requirements of
the state(s) Broker-Dealer operates in and the NASD.

Companies are required by the Insurance Department in all 50 states to pay
compensation only to individuals and entities that are properly insurance
licensed and appointed.  For registered products, Distributor must also comply
with NASD regulations that require Distributor to pay compensation to an NASD
registered Broker-Dealer.  Distributor must comply with both state and NASD
requirements.

Distributor requires confirmation that Broker-Dealer holds current state
insurance licenses or markets insurance products through a contractual affiliate
or wholly owned life agency, which is properly insurance licensed.  If Broker-
Dealer is properly state licensed then compensation may be paid to Broker-Dealer
in compliance with both state and NASD requirements.

If Broker-Dealer is not state insurance licensed and relies on the licensing of
a contractual affiliate or wholly owned life agency, the SEC has issued a number
of letters indicating that, under specific limited circumstances, it will take
"no action" against insurers (Distributor) paying compensation on registered
products to Broker-Dealer's contractual affiliate or wholly owned life agency.
At the request of Broker-Dealer, Distributor will provide copies of several of
these letters as well as a summary of their requirements.

If Broker-Dealer intends to rely on one of these "no-action" letters, legal
counsel for Broker-Dealer must confirm to Distributor in writing that all of the
circumstances of any one of the SEC no-action letters are applicable.  Broker-
Dealer's counsel must summarize each point upon which the no-action relief was
granted and represent that Broker-Dealer's method of operation is identical or
meets the same criteria.  Broker-Dealer's counsel must also confirm that, to the
best of counsel's knowledge, the SEC has not rescinded or modified its no-action
position since the letter was released.

The Broker-Dealer Sales and Supervision Agreement will not be finalized and no
new applications for registered products will be accepted or no new compensation
will be payable unless the appropriate proof of state licensing or no-action
relief is confirmed.  In addition to a letter from Broker-Dealer's counsel,
copies of the following documentation is required:

     --   life insurance licenses for all states in which Broker-Dealer holds
          these licenses and intends to operate and/or;

     --   life insurance licenses for any contractual affiliate or wholly owned
          life agency; and

     --   the SEC No-Action Letter that will be relied upon.


If you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact your Life
Licensing and Contracting representative.

place of the President to sign the certificates for shares of stock of the

Directors may authorize withdrawal of funds by checks or drafts drawn at offices
of the Company to be signed by Managers, General Agents, or employees of the
Company, provided that all such checks or drafts shall be signed by two such
authorized persons, except checks or drafts used for the payment of claims or
losses which need to be signed by only one such authorized person, and provided

designated by the Board of Directors may impose such limitations or restrictions
upon the withdrawal of such funds as it deems proper.

                                   ARTICLE VIII

                            Liability and Indemnity

SECTION 1.   No person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage
suffered by it on account of any action taken or omitted to be taken by him as
director or officer of the Company, or of any other company, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise for  which he serves as a director, officer
or employee at the request of the Company, in good faith, if such person (a)
exercised and used the same degree of care and skill as a prudent man would have
exercised or used under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs, or
(b) took or omitted to take such action in reliance upon advice of counsel for
the Company or upon statements made or information furnished by officers or
employees of the Company which he had reasonable grounds to believe to be true. 
The foregoing shall not be exclusive of other rights and defenses to which he
may be entitled as a matter of law.

SECTION 2.  The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, (other than one by or in the right of the Company) by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, or
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or
employee of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 3.   The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to

<PAGE>

                                      -9-

be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or
employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer or employee of another company, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except
that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless and only to the
extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper.

SECTION 4.  Expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in defending a civil
or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director or employee to repay such amount
unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified
by the Company as authorized hereby.

SECTION 5.  The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under
any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or of disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                              Amendment of Bylaws

SECTION 1.   The Directors shall have power to adopt, amend and repeal such
bylaws as may be deemed necessary or appropriate for the management of the
property and affairs of the Company.

SECTION 2.   The stockholders at any annual or special meeting may amend or
repeal these bylaws or adopt new ones if the notice of such meeting contains a
statement of the proposed alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of the
substance thereof.  Bylaws amended or adopted by the stockholders may be amended
or repealed by the Directors.

RE:  PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO ("SEPARATE ACCOUNT")
     ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY ("COMPANY")
     FILE NO. 33-60702

Dear Sir/Madam:

In my capacity as Associate General Counsel of the Company, I have supervised
the establishment of the Separate Account by the Board of Directors of the
Company as a separate account for assets applicable to Contracts offered by the
Company pursuant to Wisconsin law.  I have participated in the preparation of
the registration statement for the Separate Account on Form N-4 under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to
the Contracts.

I am of the following opinion:

1.   The Separate Account is a separate account of the Company validly existing
     pursuant to Wisconsin law and the regulations issued thereunder.

2.   The assets held in the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities
     arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

3.   The Contracts are legally issued and represent binding obligations of the
     Company.

In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of the law
and examined such records and other documents as in my opinion as are necessary
or appropriate.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933.

Sincerely,

/s/ Lynda Godkin

Lynda Godkin
Associate General Counsel & Secretary
