 Separate Account Three

 ITT Hartford Life & Annuity Insurance Company
 Notes to Financial Statements
 December 31, 1997
- - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Organization:

     Separate Account Three (the Account) is a separate 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 and the SEC. The
     Account invests deposits by variable annuity contractholders of the Company
     in various mutual funds (the Portfolios) 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 Dean Witter Select
        Dimensions Investment Series Mutual Funds are valued at the closing net
        asset value per share as determined by the appropriate Fund as of
        December 31, 1997.

     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 principles 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 up to
        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 ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company
 Separate Account Three and to the
 Owners of Units of Interest Therein:
- - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of ITT
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account Three (the
Account) as of December 31, 1997, and the related statement of operations for
the year then ended and statements of changes in net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of ITT Hartford Life and Annuity
Insurance Company Separate Account Three as of December 31, 1997, the results
of its operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with generally

 Separate Account Five

 ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company
 Notes to Financial Statements
 December 31, 1997
- - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Organization:

     Separate Account Five (the Account) is a separate investment account within
     ITT Hartford Life and 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. The
     Account consists of forty-one sub-accounts. These financial statements
     include thirteen sub-accounts which invest solely in Dean Witter Select
     Dimensions Portfolios (the Funds). The twelve sub-accounts which invest in
     Hartford Mutual Funds and the sixteen sub-accounts which invest in Putnam
     VT Mutual Funds are presented in separate financial statements. Both the
     Company and the Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the
     Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The
     Account invests deposits by variable life contractholders of the Company in
     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 Dean Witter Select
        Dimensions Investment Series Mutual Funds are valued at the closing net
        asset value per share as determined by the appropriate Fund as of
        December 31, 1997.

     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 principles 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:

     In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes deductions
     for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, administrative
     fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted through
     termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' accounts.

 Separate Account Three

 Hartford Life Insurance Company
 Notes to Financial Statements
 December 31, 1997
- - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Organization:

     Separate Account Three (the Account) is a separate investment account
     within Hartford Life 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 and the SEC. 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 Dean Witter Select
        Dimensions Investment Series Mutual Funds are valued at the closing net
        asset value per share as determined by the appropriate Fund as of
        December 31, 1997.

     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 principles 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 up to
        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.

 Owners of Units of Interest Therein:
- - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account Three (the Account) as of
December 31, 1997, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended and statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Hartford Life Insurance
Company Separate Account Three as of December 31, 1997, the results of its
operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for each

 Separate Account Five

 Hartford Life Insurance Company
 Notes to Financial Statements
 December 31, 1997
- - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Organization:

     Separate Account Five (the Account) is a separate investment account with
     Hartford Life 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. The Account consists of
     forty-one sub-accounts. These financial statements include thirteen
     sub-accounts which invest solely in Dean Witter Select Dimensions
     Portfolios (the Funds). The twelve sub-accounts which invest in Hartford
     Mutual Funds and the sixteen sub-accounts which invest in Putnam VT Mutual
     Funds are presented in separate financial statements. Both the Company and
     the Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of
     Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests
     deposits by variable life contractholders of the Company in 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 Dean Witter Select
        Dimensions Mutual Funds are valued at the closing net asset value per
        share as determined by the appropriate Fund as of December 31, 1997.

     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 principles 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:

     In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes deductions
     for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, administrative
     fees, and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted through
     termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' accounts.
