This Prospectus describes Putnam Capital Manager Life, a modified single premium
variable life insurance contract ("Contract" or "Contracts") offered by ITT
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("Hartford") to applicants age 90
and under. (On January 1, 1998, Hartford's name will change to Hartford Life and
Annuity Insurance Company). The Contract lets the Contract Owner pay a single
premium and, subject to restrictions, additional premiums.

 
The Contract is a modified endowment contract for federal income tax purposes,
except in certain cases described under "Federal Tax Considerations," page 20. A
LOAN, DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT
DURING THE LIFE OF THE INSURED WILL BE TAXED TO THE EXTENT OF ANY ACCUMULATED
INCOME IN THE CONTRACT. ANY AMOUNTS THAT ARE TAXABLE WITHDRAWALS WILL BE SUBJECT
TO A 10% ADDITIONAL TAX, WITH CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS.
 

Generally, the minimum initial premium Hartford will accept is $10,000. The
initial premium will be allocated to the PCM Money Market Fund Sub-Account.
After the Right to Cancel Period has expired, the amount so allocated will be
transferred to the Funds specified in the Contract Owner's application. The
following underlying investment portfolios ("Funds") of Putnam Variable Trust
are available under the Contracts: Putnam VT Asia Pacific Growth Fund, Putnam VT
Diversified Income Fund, Putnam VT Global Asset Allocation Fund, Putnam VT
Global Growth Fund, Putnam VT Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT High Yield Fund,
Putnam VT International Growth Fund, Putnam VT International Growth and Income
Fund, Putnam VT International New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT Money Market
Fund, Putnam VT New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT New Value Fund, Putnam VT U.S.
Government and High Quality Bond Fund, Putnam VT Utilities Growth and Income
Fund, Putnam VT Vista Fund, and Putnam VT Voyager Fund.

 
There is no guaranteed minimum Account Value for a Contract. The Account Value
of a Contract will vary up or down to reflect the investment experience of the
Funds to which premiums have been allocated. The Contract Owner bears the
investment risk for all amounts so allocated. The Contract continues in effect
while the Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to pay the monthly charges under
the Contract ("Deduction Amount"). The Contract may terminate if the Cash
Surrender Value is insufficient to cover a Deduction Amount and, after
expiration of a specified period, no additional premium payments are made.
 

The Contracts provide for a Face Amount, which is the minimum death benefit
under a Contract. The death benefit ("Death Benefit") may be greater than the
Face Amount. The Account Value will, and under certain circumstances the Death
Benefit of the Contract may, increase or decrease based on the investment
experience of the Funds to which premiums have been allocated. However, while
the Contract is in force, the Death Benefit will never be less than the Face
Amount. At the death of the Insured, Hartford will pay the death proceeds
("Death Proceeds") to the beneficiary. The Death Proceeds equal the Death
Benefit less any Indebtedness under the Contract.

                                    SUMMARY
 

- -------------------------------- THE CONTRACTS

 
    The Contracts are life insurance contracts with death benefits, cash values,
and other traditional life insurance features. The Contracts are "variable."
Unlike the fixed benefits of ordinary whole life insurance, the Account Value
will, and the Death Benefit may, increase or decrease based on the investment
experience of the Funds to which premiums have been allocated. The Contracts are
credited with units ("Accumulation Units") to calculate cash values. The
Contract Owner may transfer the cash values among the Funds.
 
    The Contracts can be issued on a single life or "last survivor" basis. For a
discussion of how last survivor Contracts operate differently from single life
Contracts, see "Last Survivor Contracts," page 15.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                       THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE FUNDS
 

    Separate Account Five ("Separate Account") funds the variable life insurance
Contracts offered by this Prospectus. Hartford established the Separate Account
pursuant to Connecticut insurance law and organized as a unit investment trust
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Contracts currently
offer 16 sub-accounts ("Sub-Accounts"), each investing exclusively in a Fund. If
an initial premium is submitted with an application for a Contract, it will be
allocated, within three business days of receipt at Hartford's Home Office, to
the PCM Money Market Fund Sub-Account. After the expiration of the Right to
Cancel Period, the values in the PCM Money Market Fund Sub-Account will be
allocated to one or more of the Funds, as specified in the Contract Owner's
application. See "The Contract -- Allocation of Premiums," page 10.

 

    Currently, the Funds of Putnam Variable Trust available under the Contracts
are: Putnam VT Asia Pacific Growth Fund, Putnam VT Diversified Income Fund,
Putnam VT Global Asset Allocation Fund, Putnam VT Global Growth Fund, Putnam VT
Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT High Yield Fund, Putnam VT International
Growth Fund, Putnam VT International Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT
International New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT Money Market Fund, Putnam VT New
Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT New Value Fund, Putnam VT U.S. Government and High
Quality Bond Fund, Putnam VT Utilities Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT Vista
Fund, and Putnam VT Voyager Fund. Applicants should read the Funds prospectuses
accompanying this Prospectus in connection with the purchase of a Contract. The
investment objectives of the Funds are as set forth in "The Separate Account,"
page 7.

    reflect the increase. Actual management fees and total expenses were 0.64%

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                    PREMIUMS
 

    The Contract permits the Contract Owner to pay a large single premium and,
subject to restrictions, additional premiums. The Contract Owner may choose a
minimum initial premium of 80%, 90% or 100% of the Guideline Single Premium
(based on the Face Amount). Under current underwriting rules, which are subject
to change, applicants between the ages of 35 and 80 who pay an initial premium
of 100% of the Guideline Single Premium are eligible for simplified underwriting
without a medical examination if they meet simplified underwriting standards as
evidenced in their responses in the application. For Contract Owners who pay an
initial premium of 80% or 90% of the Guideline Single Premium or who are below
age 35 or above age 80, standard underwriting applies, except that substandard
underwriting applies only in those cases that represent substandard risks
according to customary underwriting guidelines. Additional premiums are allowed
if they do not cause the Contract to fail to meet the definition of a life
insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Code. Hartford may require evidence
of insurability for any additional premiums which increase the Coverage Amount.
Generally, the minimum initial premium Hartford will accept is $10,000. Hartford
may accept less than $10,000 under certain circumstances. No premium will be
accepted which does not meet the tax qualification guidelines for life insurance
under the Code.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                             DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
 

    On the Contract Date and on each Monthly Activity Date, Hartford will deduct
a Deduction Amount from the Account Value. The Deduction Amount will be made pro
rata respecting each Sub-Account attributable to the Contract. The Deduction
Amount includes a cost of insurance charge, tax expense charge, administrative
charge and a mortality and expense risk charge. The monthly cost of insurance
charge is to cover Hartford's anticipated mortality costs. In addition, Hartford
will deduct monthly from the Account Value a tax expense charge equal to an
annual rate of 0.40% for the first ten Contract Years. This charge compensates
Hartford for premium taxes imposed by various states and local jurisdictions and
for federal taxes imposed under Section 848 of the Code. The tax expense charge
includes a premium tax deduction of 0.25% and a federal tax deduction of 0.15%.
The premium tax deduction represents an average premium tax of 2.5% of premiums
over ten years. Hartford will deduct from the Account Value attributable to the
Separate Account a monthly administrative charge equal to an annual rate of
0.40%. This charge compensates Hartford for administrative expenses incurred in
the administration of the Separate Account and the Contracts. Hartford will also
deduct from the Account Value attributable to the Separate Account a monthly
charge equal to an annual rate of 0.90% for the mortality risks and expense
risks Hartford assumes in relation to the variable portion of the Contracts. If
the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover a Deduction Amount due on
any Monthly Activity Date the Contract may lapse. See "Deductions and Charges --
Monthly Deductions," page 10, and "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Lapse and
Reinstatement," page 14.

 

    If the Account Value on a Contract Anniversary is less than $50,000,
Hartford will deduct on such date an annual maintenance fee of $30. This fee
will help reimburse Hartford for administrative and maintenance costs of the
Contracts. See "Deductions and Charges -- Annual Maintenance Fee," page 12.

 

    Hartford may set up a provision for income taxes against the assets of the
Separate Account. See "Deductions and Charges -- Taxes Charged Against the
Separate Account," page 12, and "Federal Tax Considerations," page 20.

 

    Applicants should review the Funds prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus
for a description of the charges assessed against the assets of the Funds.

 

    Upon surrender of the Contract and partial withdrawals in excess of the
Annual Withdrawal Amount, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed. In
Contract Years 1 through 3, this charge is 7.5% of surrendered Account Value
attributable to premiums paid. In Contract Years 4 through 5, this charge is 6%.
In Contract Years 6 through 7, this charge is 4%. In Contract Years 8 through 9,
this charge is 2%. After the ninth Contract Year, there is no charge. The
contingent deferred sales charge is imposed to cover a portion of the sales
expense incurred by Hartford in distributing the Contracts. This expense
includes agents commissions, advertising and the printing of prospectuses. See
"Deductions and Charges -- Contingent Deferred Sales Charge," page 12.

 
    During the first nine Contract Years, an additional premium tax charge will
be imposed on surrender or partial withdrawals. See "Deductions and Charges --
Premium Tax Charges," page 12.
 
    For a discussion of the tax consequences of surrender of the Contract or a
partial withdrawal, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page 20.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 DEATH BENEFIT
 

    The Contracts provide for a Face Amount which is the minimum Death Benefit
under the Contract. The Death Benefit may be greater than the Face Amount. At
the death of the Insured, Hartford will pay the Death Proceeds to the
beneficiary. The Death Proceeds equal the Death Benefit less any Indebtedness
under the Contract. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Death Benefit," page
12.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 ACCOUNT VALUE
 

    The Account Value will increase or decrease to reflect the investment
experience of the Funds applicable to the Contract and deductions for the
monthly Deduction Amount. There is no minimum guaranteed Account Value and the
Contract Owner bears the risk of the investment in the Funds. See "Contract
Benefits and Rights -- Account Value," page 13.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 CONTRACT LOANS
 

    A Contract Owner may obtain one or both of two types of cash loans from
Hartford. Both types of loans are secured by the Contract. At the time a loan is
requested, the aggregate amount of all loans (including the currently applied
for loan) may not exceed 90% of the difference of the Account Value less any
contingent deferred sales charge and due and unpaid Deduction Amount. See
"Contract Benefits and Rights -- Contract Loans," page 13.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                     LAPSE
 

    Under certain circumstances a Contract may terminate if the Cash Surrender
Value on any Monthly Activity Date is less than the required Monthly Deduction
Amount. Hartford will give written notice to the Contract Owner and a 61-day
grace period during which additional amounts may be paid to continue the
Contract. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Contract Loans," page 13, and
"Lapse and Reinstatement," page 14.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                        CANCELLATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
 

    An applicant has a limited right to return his or her Contract for
cancellation. If the applicant returns the Contract, by mail or hand delivery,
to Hartford or to the agent who sold the Contract, to be cancelled within ten
days after delivery of the Contract to the applicant (in certain cases, this
free-look period is longer), Hartford will return to the applicant within seven
days thereafter the greater of the premiums paid for the Contract or the sum of
(1) the Account Value on the date the returned Contract is received by Hartford
or its agent and (2) any deductions under Contract or by the Funds for taxes,
charges or fees.

 
    In addition, once the Contract is in effect it may be exchanged during the
first 24 months after its issuance for a permanent life insurance contract on
the life of the Insured without submitting proof of insurability. See "Contract
Benefits and Rights -- Cancellation and Exchange Rights," page 15.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                TAX CONSEQUENCES
 

    The current federal tax law generally excludes all death benefit payments
from the gross income of the Contract beneficiary. The Contracts generally will
be treated as modified endowment contracts. This status does not affect the
Contracts' classification as life insurance, nor does it affect the exclusion of
death benefit payments from gross income. However, loans, distributions or other
amounts received under a modified endowment contract are taxed to the extent of
accumulated income in the Contract (generally, the excess of Account Value over
premiums paid) and may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. See "Federal Tax
Considerations," page 20.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                  THE COMPANY
 

    ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("Hartford") is a stock life
insurance company engaged in the business of writing life insurance and
annuities, both individual and group, in all states of the United States and the
District of Columbia, except New York. On January 1, 1998, Hartford's name will
change to Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company. Hartford was originally
incorporated under the laws of Wisconsin on January 9, 1956, and was
subsequently redomiciled to Connecticut. Its offices are located in Simsbury,
Connecticut; however, its mailing address is P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, CT
06104-2999. Hartford is a subsidiary of Hartford Fire Insurance Company, one of
the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United States. Hartford is
ultimately owned by ITT Hartford Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Subject to
shareholder approval on May 2, 1997, the name of ITT Hartford Group, Inc. will
change to The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.

 

    Hartford is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc., on the basis
of its financial soundness and operating performance. Hartford is rated AA by
Standard & Poor's and AA+ by Duff and Phelps on the basis of its claims paying
ability. These ratings do not apply to the investment performance of the Sub-
Accounts of the Separate Account. The ratings apply to Hartford's ability to
meet its insurance obligations, including those described in this Prospectus.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                              THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
- --------------------------------    GENERAL
 

    Separate Account Five ("Separate Account") is a separate account of Hartford
established on August 17, 1994 pursuant to the insurance laws of the State of
Connecticut and organized as a unit investment trust registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Separate Account meets the definition of "separate account" under federal
securities law. Under Connecticut law, the assets of the Separate Account are
held exclusively for the benefit of Contract

<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

Owners and persons entitled to payments under the Contracts. The assets of the
Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other
business which Hartford may conduct.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                     FUNDS
 

    The underlying investments for the Contracts are shares of Putnam Variable
Trust (formerly named Putnam Capital Manager Trust), an open-end series
investment company with multiple portfolios ("Funds"). The assets of each
Sub-Account of the Separate Account are invested exclusively in one of the
Funds. The underlying Funds corresponding to each Sub-Account and their
investment objectives are described below. Hartford reserves the right, subject
to compliance with the law, to offer additional funds with differing investment
objectives. There is no assurance that any of the Funds will achieve its stated
objectives.

 

    PUTNAM VT ASIA PACIFIC GROWTH FUND seeks capital appreciation by investing
primarily in securities of companies located in Asia and the Pacific Basin. The
Fund's investments will normally include common stocks, preferred stocks,
securities convertible into common stocks or preferred stocks, and warrants to
purchase common stocks or preferred stocks.

 

    PUTNAM VT DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND seeks high current income consistent with
capital preservation by investing in the following three sectors of the fixed
income securities markets: a U.S. Government Sector, a High Yield Sector (which
invests primarily in securities commonly known as "junk bonds"), and an
International Sector. See the special considerations for investments in high
yield securities described in the Fund prospectus.

 

    PUTNAM VT 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.

 

    PUTNAM VT GLOBAL GROWTH FUND seeks capital appreciation through a globally
diversified portfolio of common stocks.

 

    PUTNAM VT 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.

 

    PUTNAM VT HIGH YIELD FUND seeks high current income and, when consistent
with this objective, a secondary objective of capital growth, by investing
primarily in high-yielding, lower-rated fixed income securities, constituting a
portfolio which Putnam Management believes does not involve undue risk to income
or principal. See the special considerations for investments in high yield
securities described in the Fund prospectus.

 

    PUTNAM VT INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND seeks capital appreciation by investing
primarily in equity securities of companies located in a country other than the
United States.

 

    PUTNAM VT INTERNATIONAL GROWTH AND INCOME FUND seeks capital growth and
secondary objective of high current income by investing primarily in common
stocks that offer potential for capital growth and may, when consistent with its
investment objectives, invest in common stocks that offer potential for current
income. Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to invest substantially
all of its assets in securities principally traded on markets outside the United
States.

 

    PUTNAM VT INTERNATIONAL NEW OPPORTUNITIES FUND seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing in companies that have above-average growth prospects
due to the fundamental growth of their market sector. Under normal market
conditions, the Fund expects to invest substantially all of its total assets,
other than cash or short-term investments held pending investment, in common
stocks, preferred stocks, convertible preferred stocks, convertible bonds and
other equity securities principally traded in securities markets outside the
United States.

 

    PUTNAM VT MONEY MARKET FUND seeks as high a rate of current income as Putnam
Management believes is consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance
of liquidity by investing in high quality money market instruments.

 

    PUTNAM VT 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.

 

    PUTNAM VT NEW VALUE FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing
primarily in common stocks that Putnam Management believes are undervalued at
the time of purchase and have the potential for long-term capital appreciation.

 

    PUTNAM VT 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 a nationally recognized securities rating agency such as Standard & Poor's or
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or, if not rated, determined by Putnam
Management to be of comparable quality.

 

    PUTNAM VT UTILITIES GROWTH AND INCOME FUND seeks capital growth and current
income by concentrating its

<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

investments in debt and equity securities issued by companies in the public
utilities industries.

 

    PUTNAM VT VISTA FUND seeks capital appreciation by investing in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks which Putnam Management believes have the
potential for above-average capital appreciation.

 

    PUTNAM VT VOYAGER FUND seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in
common stocks of companies that Putnam Management believes have potential for
capital appreciation that is significantly greater than that of market averages.

 

    Putnam VT Asia Pacific Growth Fund, Putnam VT Diversified Income Fund,
Putnam VT Global Growth Fund, Putnam VT Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT High
Yield Fund, Putnam VT International Growth Fund, Putnam VT International Growth
and Income Fund, Putnam VT International New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT Money
Market Fund, Putnam VT New Opportunities Fund, Putnam VT New Value Fund, Putnam
VT Utilities Growth and Income Fund, Putnam VT Vista Fund, and Putnam VT 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 funds managed by Putnam Management 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 are contained in the accompanying
Fund's prospectuses, which should be read in conjunction with this Prospectus
before investing, and in the Funds 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 Hartford and the Funds do not
currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable annuity contract
owners or to variable life insurance policyowners, the Trust's Board of Trustees
intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between
such Contract Owners and policyowners and to determine what action, if any,
should be taken in response thereto. If the Fund's Board of Trustees were to
conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and
variable annuity separate accounts, the variable annuity Contract holders would
not bear any expenses attendant upon establishment of such separate funds.

    Subject to the general oversight of the Trust's Board of Trustees, 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 Funds prospectuses for a more
complete description of Putnam Management and the respective fees of the Funds.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                  THE CONTRACT
 
- --------------------------------
                           APPLICATION FOR A CONTRACT
 

    Individuals wishing to purchase a Contract must submit an application to
Hartford. A Contract will be issued only on the lives of insureds age 90 and
under who supply evidence of insurability satisfactory to Hartford. Acceptance
is subject to Hartford's underwriting rules, and Hartford reserves the right to
reject an application for any reason. IF AN APPLICATION FOR A CONTRACT IS
REJECTED, THEN YOUR INITIAL PREMIUM WILL BE RETURNED ALONG WITH AN ADDITIONAL
AMOUNT FOR INTEREST, BASED ON THE CURRENT RATE BEING CREDITED BY HARTFORD. No
change in the terms or conditions of a Contract will be made without the consent
of the Contract Owner.

 

    The Contract will be effective on the Contract Date only after Hartford has
received all outstanding delivery requirements and received the initial premium.
The Contract Date is the date used to determine all future cyclical transactions
on the Contract, e.g., Monthly Activity Date, Contract Months and Contract
Years. The Contract Date may be prior to, or the same as, the date the Contract
is issued ("Issue Date").

 

    If the Coverage Amount is over the current limits established by Hartford,
the initial payment will not be accepted

<PAGE>
10                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

with the application. In other cases where Hartford receives the initial payment
with the application, Hartford will provide fixed conditional insurance during
underwriting according to the terms of a conditional receipt. The fixed
conditional insurance will be the insurance applied for, up to a maximum that
varies by age. If no fixed conditional insurance was in effect, on Contract
delivery Hartford will require a sufficient payment to place the insurance in
force.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                    PREMIUMS
 

    The Contract permits the Contract Owner to pay a large single premium and,
subject to restrictions, additional premiums. The Contract Owner may choose a
minimum initial premium of 80%, 90% or 100% of the Guideline Single Premium
(based on the Face Amount). Under current underwriting rules, which are subject
to change, applicants between ages 35 and 80 who pay an initial premium of 100%
of the Guideline Single Premium (subject to then current premium limits) are
eligible for simplified underwriting without a medical examination if they meet
simplified underwriting standards as evidenced in their responses in the
application. For Contract Owners who pay an initial premium of 80% or 90% of the
Guideline Single Premium or who are below age 35 or above age 80, standard
underwriting applies, except that substandard underwriting applies only in those
cases that represent substandard risks according to customary underwriting
guidelines. Additional premiums are allowed if they do not cause the Contract to
fail to meet the definition of a life insurance contract under Section 7702 of
the Code. Hartford may require evidence of insurability for any additional
premiums which increase the Coverage Amount. Generally, the minimum initial
premium Hartford will accept is $10,000. Hartford may accept less than $10,000
under certain circumstances. No premium will be accepted which does not meet the
tax qualification guidelines for life insurance under the Code.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                             ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
 

    Within three business days of receipt of a completed application and the
initial premium at Hartford's Home Office, Hartford will allocate the entire
premium to the PCM Money Market Fund Sub-Account. After the expiration of the
Right To Cancel Period,the Account Value in the PCM Money Market Fund
Sub-Account will be allocated among the Funds, in whole percentages, to purchase
Accumulation Units in the applicable Sub-Accounts as the Contract Owner directs
in the application. Premiums received on or after the expiration of the Right to
Cancel Period will be allocated among the Sub-Accounts to purchase Accumulation
Units in such Sub- Accounts as directed by the Contract Owner or, in the absence
of directions, as specified in the original application. The number of
Accumulation Units in each Sub-Account to be credited to a Contract (including
the initial allocation to the PCM Money Market Fund Sub-Account) is determined
first by multiplying the premium by the percentage to be allocated to each Fund
to determine the portion to be invested in the Sub-Account. Each portion to be
invested in each Sub-Account is then divided by the Accumulation Unit Value of
that particular Sub-Account next computed after receipt of the payment.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                            ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
 

    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 Sub-Account is the net asset value per share of the corresponding Fund at
the end of the Valuation Period (plus the per share dividends or capital gains
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. Applicants should refer to the Funds
prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus for a description of how the assets of
each Fund are valued, since such determination has a direct bearing on the
Accumulation Unit Value of the Sub-Account and therefore the Account Value of a
Contract. See also, "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Account Value," page 13.

 

    All valuations in connection with a Contract, e.g., with respect to
determining Account Value and Cash Surrender Value and in connection with
Contract loans, or calculation of Death Benefits, or with respect to determining
the number of Accumulation Units to be credited to a Contract with each premium,
other than the initial premium, will be made on the date the request or payment
is received by Hartford at its Home Office if such date is a Valuation Day;
otherwise such determination will be made on the next succeeding date which is a
Valuation Day.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                             DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
 
- --------------------------------
                               MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS
 

    On the Contract Date, and on each Monthly Activity Date after the Contract
Date, Hartford will deduct an amount ("Deduction Amount") to cover charges and
expenses incurred in connection with a Contract. Each monthly Deduction Amount
will be deducted pro rata from each Sub-Account attributable to the Contract
such that the proportion of Account Value of the Contract attributable to each
Sub-Account remains the same before and after the deduction. The Deduction
Amount will vary from month to

<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                               11
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

month. If the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover a Deduction Amount
due on any Monthly Activity Date, the Contract may lapse. See "Contract Benefits
and Rights -- Lapse and Reinstatement," page 14. The following is a summary of
the monthly deductions and charges which constitute the Deduction Amount:

 

    COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE: The cost of insurance charge covers Hartford's
anticipated mortality costs for standard and substandard risks. Current cost of
insurance rates are lower after the tenth Contract Year and are based on whether
100%, 90% or 80% of the Guideline Single Premium has been paid. The current cost
of insurance charge will not exceed the guaranteed cost of insurance charge.
This charge is a guaranteed maximum monthly rate multiplied by the Coverage
Amount on the Contract Date or any Monthly Activity Date. For standard risks,
the guaranteed cost of insurance rate is based on the 1980 Commissioners
Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, age last birthday). (Unisex rates may be
required in some states.) A table of guaranteed cost of insurance rates per
$1,000 will be included in each Contract; however, Hartford reserves the right
to use rates less than those shown in the table. Substandard risks will be
charged at a higher cost of insurance rate that will not exceed rates based on a
multiple of the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, age last
birthday. The multiple will be based on the insured's substandard rating.

 
    The Coverage Amount is first set on the Contract Date and then on each
Monthly Activity Date. On such days, it is the Face Amount less the Account
Value subject to a Minimum Coverage Amount. The Coverage Amount remains level
between the Monthly Activity Dates.
 

    The Coverage Amount may be adjusted to continue to qualify the Contracts as
life insurance contracts under the current federal tax law. Under that law, the
Minimum Coverage Amount is a stated percentage of the Account Value of the
Contract determined on each Monthly Activity Date. The percentages vary
according to the attained age of the Insured.

 
    EXAMPLE:
 
    Face Amount = $100,000
    Account Value on the Monthly Activity
    Date = $30,000
    Insured's attained age = 40
    Minimum Coverage Amount percentage
    for age 40 = 150%
 
    On the Monthly Activity Date, the Coverage Amount is $70,000. This is
calculated by subtracting the Account Value on the Monthly Activity Date
($30,000) from the Face Amount ($100,000), subject to a possible Minimum
Coverage Amount adjustment. This Minimum Coverage Amount is determined by taking
a percentage of the Account Value on the Monthly Activity Date. In this case,
the Minimum Coverage Amount is $45,000 (150% of $30,000). Since $45,000 is less
than the Face Amount less the Account Value ($70,000), no adjustment is
necessary. Therefore, the Coverage Amount will be $70,000.
 

    Assume that the Account Value in the above example was $50,000. The Minimum
Coverage Amount would be $75,000 (150% of $50,000). Since this is greater than
the Face Amount less the Account Value ($50,000), the Coverage Amount for the
Contract Month is $75,000. (For an explanation of the Death Benefit, see
"Contract Benefits and Rights," page 12.)

 
    Because the Account Value and, as a result, the Coverage Amount under a
Contract may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may also
vary on each Monthly Activity Date.
 

    TAX EXPENSE CHARGE: Hartford will deduct monthly from the Account Value a
tax expense charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% for the first ten Contract
Years. This charge compensates Hartford for premium taxes imposed by various
states and local jurisdictions and for federal taxes imposed under Section 848
of the Code. The charge includes a premium tax deduction of 0.25% and a federal
tax deduction of 0.15%. The 0.25% premium tax deduction over ten Contract Years
approximates Hartford's average expenses for state and local premium taxes
(2.5%). Premium taxes vary, ranging from zero to more than 4.0%. The premium tax
deduction is made whether or not any premium tax applies. The deduction may be
higher or lower than the premium tax imposed. However, Hartford does not expect
to make a profit from this deduction. The 0.15% federal tax deduction helps
reimburse Hartford for approximate expenses incurred from federal taxes under
Section 848 of the Code. The federal tax deduction is a factor Hartford must use
when computing the maximum sales load chargeable under Securities and Exchange
Commission rules.

 

    ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: Hartford will deduct monthly from the Account Value
attributable to the Separate Account an administrative charge equal to an annual
rate of 0.40%. This charge compensates Hartford for administrative expenses
incurred in the administration of the Separate Account and the Contracts.

 

    MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: Hartford will deduct monthly from the
Account Value attributable to the Separate Account a charge equal to an annual
rate of 0.90% for the mortality risks and expense risks Hartford assumes in
relation to the variable portion of the Contracts. The mortality risk assumed is
that the cost of insurance charges specified in the Contract will be
insufficient to meet claims. Hartford also assumes a risk that the Face Amount
(the minimum Death Benefit) will exceed the Coverage Amount on the date of death
plus the Account Value on the date

<PAGE>
12                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

Hartford receives written notice of death. The expense risk assumed is that
expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Contracts will exceed the
administrative charges set in the Contract. Hartford may profit from the
mortality and expense risk charge and may use any profits for any proper
purpose, including any difference between the cost it incurs in distributing the
Contracts and the proceeds of the contingent deferred sales charge. The
mortality and expense risk charge is deducted while the Contract is in force,
including the duration of a payment option.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                             ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE
 

    If the Account Value on a Contract Anniversary is less than $50,000,
Hartford will deduct on such date an annual maintenance fee of $30. This fee
will help reimburse Hartford for administrative and maintenance costs of the
Contracts. The sum of the monthly administrative charges and the annual
maintenance fee will not exceed the cost Hartford incurs in providing
administrative services under the Contracts.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           TAXES CHARGED AGAINST THE
                                SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 

    Currently, no charge is made to the Separate Account for federal income
taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account. Hartford may, however,
make such a charge in the future. Charges for other taxes, if any, attributable
to the Separate Account may also be made.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           CHARGES AGAINST THE FUNDS
 

    The Separate Account purchases shares of the Funds at net asset value. The
net asset value of the Fund shares reflects investment advisory fees and
administrative expenses already deducted from the assets of the Funds. These
charges are described in the Funds prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                        CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
 

    Upon surrender of the Contract and partial withdrawals in excess of the
Annual Withdrawal Amount, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed. In
Contract Years 1 through 3, this charge is 7.5% of surrendered Account Value
attributable to premiums paid. In Contract Years 4 through 5, this charge is 6%.
In Contract Years 6 through 7, this charge is 4%. In Contract Years 8 through 9,
this charge is 2%. After the ninth Contract Year, there is no charge.

 

    In determining the contingent deferred sales charge and the additional
premium tax charge discussed below, any surrender or partial withdrawal during
the first ten Contract Years will be deemed first from premium payments and then
from earnings. If an amount equal to all premiums paid has been withdrawn, no
charge will be assessed on a withdrawal of the remaining Account Value.

 

    The contingent deferred sales charge is imposed to cover a portion of the
sales expense incurred by Hartford in distributing the Contracts. This expense
includes agents commissions, advertising and the printing of prospectuses.

 
    See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Amount Payable on Surrender of the
Contract," page 14.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                               PREMIUM TAX CHARGE
 
    During the first nine Contract Years, an additional premium tax charge will
be imposed on surrender or partial withdrawals. The additional premium tax
charge is shown below, as a percent of Account Value, at the end of each
Contract Year:
 
<TABLE>

    After the ninth Contract Year, no additional premium tax charge will be
imposed.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          CONTRACT BENEFITS AND RIGHTS
 

- -------------------------------- DEATH BENEFIT

 

    While in force, the Contract provides for the payment of the Death Proceeds
to the named beneficiary when the Insured under the Contract dies. The Death
Proceeds payable to the beneficiary equal the Death Benefit less any loans
outstanding. The Death Benefit equals the greater of (1) the Face Amount or (2)
the Account Value multiplied by a specified percentage. The percentages vary
according to the attained age of the Insured and are specified in the Contract.
Therefore, an increase in Account Value may increase the Death Benefit. However,
because the Death Benefit will never be less than the Face Amount, a decrease in
Account Value may decrease the Death Benefit, but never below the Face Amount.

</TABLE>
 

    In Example A, the Death Benefit equals $116,250, i.e., the greater of
$100,000 (the Face Amount) or $116,250 (the Account Value at the Date of Death
of $46,500, multiplied by the specified percentage of 250%). This amount, less
any outstanding loans, constitutes the Death Proceeds which Hartford would pay
to the beneficiary.

 

    In Example B, the death benefit is $100,000, i.e., the greater of $100,000
(the Face Amount) or $85,000 (the Account Value of $34,000, multiplied by the
specified percentage of 250%).

 
    All or part of the Death Proceeds may be paid in cash or applied under a
"Payment Option." See "Other Matters -- Payment Options," page 16.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 ACCOUNT VALUE
 
    The Account Value of a Contract will be computed on each Valuation Day. The
Account Value will vary to reflect the investment experience of the Funds, the
value of the Loan Account and the monthly Deduction Amounts. There is no minimum
guaranteed Account Value.
 
    The Account Value of a particular Contract is related to the net asset value
of the Funds to which premiums on the Contract have been allocated. The Account
Value on any Valuation Day is calculated by multiplying the number of
Accumulation Units credited to the Contract in each Sub-Account as of the
Valuation Day by the Accumulation Unit Value of that Sub-Account, and then
summing the result for all the Sub-Accounts credited to the Contract and the
value of the Loan Account. See "The Contract -- Accumulation Unit Values," page
10.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           TRANSFER OF ACCOUNT VALUE
 

    While the Contract remains in effect and subject to Hartford's transfer
rules then in effect, the Contract Owner may request that part or all of the
Account Value of a particular Sub-Account be transferred to other Sub-Accounts.
Hartford reserves the right to restrict the number of such transfers to no more
than 12 per Contract Year, with no two transfers being made on consecutive
Valuation Days. However, there are no restrictions on the number of transfers at
the present time. Transfers may be made by written request or by calling toll
free 1-800-231-5453. Transfers by telephone may be made by the agent of record
or by the attorney-in-fact pursuant to a power of attorney. Telephone transfers
may not be permitted in some states. The policy of 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. Hartford will employ
reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are
genuine; otherwise, Hartford may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent instructions. The procedures Hartford follows for transactions
initiated by telephone include requiring callers to provide certain information
for identification purposes. All transfer instructions by telephone are tape
recorded.

 

    Hartford may modify the right to reallocate Account Value among the
Sub-Accounts if 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 period between each transfer, not
accepting transfer requests of an agent acting under the power of attorney on
behalf of more than one Contract Owner, or limiting the dollar amount that may
be transferred among the Sub-Accounts at one time. These restrictions may be
applied in any manner reasonably designed to prevent any use of the transfer
right that Hartford considers to be disadvantageous to other Contract Owners.

 

    As a result of a transfer, the number of Accumulation Units credited to the
Sub- Account from which the transfer is made will be reduced by the number
obtained by dividing the amount transferred by the Accumulation Unit Value of
that Sub- Account on the Valuation Day Hartford receives the transfer request.
The number of Accumulation Units credited to the Sub-Account to which the
transfer is made will be increased by the number obtained by dividing the amount
transferred by the Accumulation Unit Value of that Sub-Account on the Valuation
Day Hartford receives the transfer request.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 CONTRACT LOANS
 

    While the Contract is in effect, a Contract Owner may obtain, without the
consent of the beneficiary (provided the designation of beneficiary is not
irrevocable), one or both of two types of cash loans from Hartford. Both types
of loans are secured by the Contract. The aggregate loans (including the
currently applied for loan) may not exceed at the time a loan is requested 90%
of the Account Value less any contingent deferred sales charge and due and
unpaid Deduction Amount.

 

    The loan amount will be transferred pro rata from each Sub-Account
attributable to the Contract (unless the Contract Owner specifies otherwise) to
the Loan Account. The amounts allocated to the Loan Account will bear interest
at a rate of 4% per annum (6% for "Preferred

<PAGE>
14                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

Loans"). The amount of the Loan Account that equals the difference between the
Account Value and the total of all premiums paid under the Contract is
considered a "Preferred Loan." The loan interest rate that Hartford will charge
on all loans is 6% per annum. The difference between the value of the Loan
Account and the Indebtedness will be transferred on a pro-rata basis from the
Sub-Accounts to the Loan Account on each Monthly Activity Date. Before advancing
the loan amount Hartford may withhold an amount sufficient to pay interest on
total loans to the end of the Contract Year and any monthly Deduction Amounts
due on or before the next Contract Anniversary. The proceeds of a loan will be
delivered to the Contract Owner within seven business days of Hartford's receipt
of the loan request.

 

    If the aggregate outstanding loan(s) secured by the Contract exceeds the
Account Value of the Contract less any contingent deferred sales charges and due
and unpaid Deduction Amount, Hartford will give written notice to the Contract
Owner that unless Hartford receives an additional payment within 61 days to
reduce the aggregate outstanding loan(s) secured by the Contract, the Contract
may lapse.

 
    All or any part of any loan secured by a Contract may be repaid while the
Contract is still in effect. When loan repayments or interest payments are made,
they will be allocated among the Sub-Account(s) in the same percentage as
premiums are allocated (unless the Contract Owner requests a different
allocation) and an amount equal to the payment will be deducted from the Loan
Account. Any outstanding loan at the end of a Grace Period must be repaid before
the Contract will be reinstated. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Lapse and
Reinstatement," page 14.
 

    A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Account
Value because the investment results of each Sub-Account will apply only to the
amount remaining in such Sub-Accounts. The longer a loan is outstanding, the
greater the effect is likely to be. The effect could be favorable or
unfavorable. If the Sub-Accounts earn more than 4% per annum (the annual
interest rate for amounts held in the Loan Account), a Contract Owner's Account
Value will not increase as rapidly as it would have had no loan been made. If
the Sub-Accounts earn less than 4% per annum, the Contract Owner's Account Value
will be greater than it would have been had no loan been made. Also, if not
repaid, the aggregate outstanding loan(s) will reduce the Death Proceeds and
Cash Surrender Value otherwise payable.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          AMOUNT PAYABLE ON SURRENDER
                                OF THE CONTRACT
 

    While the Contract is in effect, a Contract Owner may elect, without the
consent of the beneficiary (provided the designation of beneficiary is not
irrevocable), to fully surrender the Contract. Upon surrender, the Contract
Owner will receive the Cash Surrender Value determined as of the day Hartford
receives the Contract Owner's written request or the date requested by the
Contract Owner whichever is later. The Cash Surrender Value equals the Account
Value, less any contingent deferred sales charges and additional premium tax
charge, and all Indebtedness. Hartford will pay the Cash Surrender Value of the
Contract within seven days of receipt by Hartford of the written request or on
the effective surrender date requested by the Contract Owner, whichever is
later. The Contract will terminate on the date of receipt of the written request
or the date the Contract Owner requests the surrender to be effective, whichever
is later. For a discussion of the tax consequences of surrendering the Contract,
see "Federal Tax Considerations," page 20.

 

    If the Contract Owner chooses to apply the surrender proceeds to a payment
option (see "Other Matters -- Payment Options," page 16), the contingent
deferred sales charge will not be imposed to the surrender proceeds applied to
the option. In other words, the surrender proceeds will equal the Cash Surrender
Value without reduction for the contingent deferred sales charge. However, the
additional premium tax charge, if applicable, will be deducted from the
surrender proceeds to be applied, and amounts withdrawn from Option 1, Option 5
or Option 6 will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge, if
applicable.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                              PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
 

    While the Contract is in effect, a Contract Owner may elect, by written
request, to make partial withdrawals from the Cash Surrender Value. The Cash
Surrender Value, after partial withdrawal, must at least equal Hartford's
minimum amount rules then in effect; otherwise, the request will be treated as a
request for full surrender. The partial withdrawal will be deducted pro rata
from each Sub- Account, unless the Contract Owner instructs otherwise. The Face
Amount will be reduced proportionate to the reduction in the Account Value due
to the partial withdrawal. Partial withdrawals in excess of the Annual
Withdrawal Amount will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge and
any additional premium tax charges. See "Deductions and Charges -- Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge -- Premium Tax Charge," page 12. For a discussion of the
tax consequences of partial withdrawals, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page
20.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                              BENEFITS AT MATURITY
 

    If the Insured is living on the "Maturity Date" (the anniversary of the
Contract Date on which the Insured is age 100), on surrender of the Contract to
Hartford, Hartford will pay to the Contract Owner the Cash Surrender Value. In
such case, the Contract will terminate and Hartford will have no further
obligations under the Contract. (The Maturity Date may be extended by rider
where approved, but see "Income Taxation of Contract Benefits," page 21.)

<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                               15
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
- -------------------------------------------
                            LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
 

    The Contract will remain in effect until the Cash Surrender Value is
insufficient to cover a Deduction Amount due on a Monthly Activity Date.
Hartford will notify the Contract Owner of the deficiency in writing and will
provide a 61-day period ("Grace Period") to pay an amount sufficient to cover
the Deduction Amount(s) due. The notice will indicate the amount that must be
paid.

 

    The Contract will continue through the Grace Period, but if no payment is
forthcoming it will terminate at the end of the Grace Period. If the person
insured under the Contract dies during the Grace Period, the Death Proceeds
payable under the Contract will be reduced by the Deduction Amount(s) due and
unpaid. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Death Benefit," page 12.

 

    If the Contract lapses, the Contract Owner may apply for reinstatement of
the Contract by payment of the reinstatement premium (and any applicable
charges) shown in the Contract. A request for reinstatement may be made within
five years of lapse. If a loan was outstanding at the time of lapse, Hartford
will require repayment of the loan before permitting reinstatement. In addition,
Hartford reserves the right to require evidence of insurability satisfactory to
Hartford.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                        CANCELLATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
 

    An applicant has a limited right to return a Contract for cancellation. If
the Contract is returned, by mail or personal delivery to Hartford or to the
agent who sold the Contract, to be cancelled within ten days after delivery of
the Contract to the Contract Owner (a longer free-look period is provided in
certain cases), Hartford will return to the applicant within seven days the
greater of premiums paid for the Contract or the sum of (1) the Account Value on
the date the returned Contract is received by Hartford or its agent and (2) any
deductions under Contract or by the Funds for taxes, charges or fees.

 

    Once the Contract is in effect, it may be exchanged during the first 24
months after its issuance, for a non-variable flexible premium adjustable life
insurance contract offered by Hartford (or an affiliated company) on the life of
the Insured. No evidence of insurability will be required. The new contract will
have, at the election of the Contract Owner, either the same Coverage Amount
under the exchanged Contract on the date of exchange or the same Death Benefit.
The effective date, issue date and issue age will be the same as existed under
the exchanged Contract. If a Contract loan was outstanding, the entire loan must
be repaid. There may be a cash adjustment required on the exchange.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                            SUSPENSION OF VALUATION,
                             PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
 

    Hartford will suspend all procedures requiring valuation (including
transfers, surrenders and loans) on any day a national stock exchange is closed
or trading is restricted due to an existing emergency as defined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or on any day the Securities and Exchange
Commission has ordered that the right of surrender of the Contracts be suspended
for the protection of Contract Owners, until such condition has ended.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                            LAST SURVIVOR CONTRACTS
 

    The Contracts are offered on both a single life and a "last survivor" basis.
Contracts sold on a last survivor basis operate in a manner almost identical to
the single life version. The most important difference is that the last survivor
version involves two Insureds and the Death Proceeds are paid on the death of
the last surviving Insured. The other significant differences between the last
survivor and single life versions are listed below.

 
1.  The cost of insurance charges under the last survivor Contracts are
    determined in a manner that reflects the anticipated mortality of the two
    Insureds and the fact that the Death Benefit is not payable until the death
    of the second Insured to die. See the last survivor illustrations in
    "Appendix A," page 35.
 
2.  To qualify for simplified underwriting under a last survivor Contract, both
    Insureds must meet the simplified underwriting standards.
 
3.  For a last survivor Contract to be reinstated, both Insureds must be alive
    on the date of reinstatement.
 
4.  The Contract provisions regarding misstatement of age or sex, suicide and
    incontestability apply to either Insured.
 

5.  Additional tax disclosures applicable to last survivor Contracts are
    provided in "Federal Tax Considerations," page 20.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                 OTHER MATTERS
 
- -------------------------------- VOTING RIGHTS
 

    In accordance with its interpretation of presently applicable law, Hartford
will vote the shares of the Funds at regular and special meetings of the
shareholders of the Funds in accordance with instructions from Contract Owners
(or the assignee of the Contract, as the case may be) having a voting interest
in the Separate Account. The number of shares held in the Separate Account which
are

<PAGE>
16                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

attributable to each Contract Owner is determined by dividing the Contract
Owner's interest in each Sub-Account by the net asset value of the applicable
shares of the Funds. Hartford will vote shares for which no instructions have
been given and shares which are not attributable to Contract Owners (i.e.,
shares owned by Hartford) in the same proportion as it votes shares for which it
has received instructions. If the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any rule
promulgated thereunder should be amended, however, or if Hartford's present
interpretation should change and, as a result, Hartford determines it is
permitted to vote the shares of the Funds in its own right, it may elect to do
so.

 

    The voting interests of the Contract Owner (or the assignee) in the Funds
will be determined as follows: Contract Owners may cast one vote for each full
or fractional Accumulation Unit owned under the Contract and allocated to a Sub-
Account the assets of which are invested in the particular Fund on the record
date for the shareholder meeting for that Fund. If, however, a Contract Owner
has taken a loan secured by the Contract, amounts transferred from the Sub-
Account(s) to the Loan Account in connection with the loan (See "Contract
Benefits and Rights -- Contract Loans," page 13) will not be considered in
determining the voting interests of the Contract Owner. Contract Owners should
review the Funds prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus to determine matters
on which shareholders may vote.

 

    Hartford may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities,
disregard voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be
voted so as to cause a change in the sub-classification or investment objective
of one or more of the Funds or to approve or disapprove an investment advisory
contract for the Funds.

 

    In addition, Hartford itself may disregard voting instructions in favor of
changes, initiated by a Contract Owner, in the investment policy or the
investment adviser of the Funds if Hartford reasonably disapproves of such
changes. A change would be disapproved only if the proposed change is contrary
to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities. If Hartford does
disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons for such
action will be included in the next periodic report to Contract Owners.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                         STATEMENTS TO CONTRACT OWNERS
 

    Hartford will maintain all records relating to the Separate Account and the
Sub- Accounts. At least once each Contract Year, Hartford will send to Contract
Owners a statement showing the Coverage Amount and the Account Value of the
Contract (indicating the number of Accumulation Units credited to the Contract
in each Sub-Account and the corresponding Accumulation Unit Value), and any
outstanding loans secured by the Contract as of the date of the statement. The
statement will also show premium paid and Deduction Amounts under the Contract
since the last statement, and any other information required by any applicable
law or regulation.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           LIMIT ON RIGHT TO CONTEST
 

    Hartford may not contest the validity of the Contract after it has been in
effect during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Issue Date. If the
Contract is reinstated, the two-year period is measured from the date of
reinstatement. Any increase in the Coverage Amount as a result of a premium is
contestable for two years from its effective date. In addition, if the Insured
commits suicide in the two-year period, or such period as specified in state
law, the benefit payable will be limited to the Account Value less any
Indebtedness.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                         MISSTATEMENT AS TO AGE AND SEX
 
    If the age or sex of the Insured is incorrectly stated, the Death Benefit
will be appropriately adjusted as specified in the Contract.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                PAYMENT OPTIONS
 

    The surrender proceeds or Death Proceeds under the Contracts may be paid in
a lump sum or may be applied to one of Hartford's payment options. The minimum
amount that may be applied under a payment option is $5,000 unless Hartford
consents to a lesser amount. Under Options 2, 3 and 4, no surrender or partial
withdrawals are permitted after payments commence. Full surrender or partial
withdrawals may be made from Option 1 or Option 6, but they are subject to the
contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable. Only a full surrender is
allowed from Option 5. A surrender from Option 5 will also be subject to the
contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.

 

    Hartford will pay interest of at least 3 1/2% per year on the Death Proceeds
from the date of the Insured's death to the date payment is made or a payment
option is elected. At such times, the proceeds are not subject to the investment
experience of the Separate Account.

 

    The following options are available under the Contracts (Hartford may offer
other payment options):

 
    OPTION 1 -- Interest Income
 

    This option offers payments of interest, at the rate Hartford declares, on
the amount applied under this option. The interest rate will never be less than
3 1/2% per year.

 
    OPTION 2 -- Life Annuity
 
    A life annuity is an annuity payable during the lifetime of the payee and
terminating with the last payment preceding the death of the payee. This option
offers the
<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                               17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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 a payee 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 3 -- Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain
 

    This annuity option is an annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
payee 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 payee, payments have been made
for less than the minimum elected number of months, then the present value as of
the date of the payee'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 by Hartford.

 
    OPTION 4 -- Joint and Last Survivor Annuity

    An annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the payee 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 Hartford, the payee may elect that the
payment to the survivor be less than the payment made during the joint lifetime
of the payee and a designated second person.

 
    It would be possible under this option for a payee 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 5 -- Payments for a Designated Period
 

    An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from
five to 30 years. Under this option, you may, at any time, request a full
surrender and receive, within seven days, the termination value of the Contract
as determined by Hartford.

 

    In the event of the payee's death prior to the end of the designated period,
the present value as of the date of the payee'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 by Hartford.

 
    Option 5 is an option that does not involve life contingencies.
 

    OPTION 6 -- Death Proceeds Remaining with Hartford

 

    Proceeds from the Death Benefit left with Hartford. These proceeds will
remain in the Sub-Accounts 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.

 
    VARIABLE AND FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS: When an annuity is effected, unless
otherwise specified, the surrender proceeds or Death Proceeds 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 annuities options are also available.
YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHETHER THE ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS AMONG SUB-ACCOUNTS OF THE
SEPARATE ACCOUNT FOR YOUR ANNUITY PAYMENTS ARE BASED ON THE INVESTMENT
ALTERNATIVE BEST SUITED TO YOUR RETIREMENT NEEDS.
 
    VARIABLE ANNUITY: The Contract contains tables indicating the minimum dollar
amount of the first monthly payment under the optional variable forms of annuity
for each $1,000 of value of a Sub-Account. The first monthly payment varies
according to the form and type of variable payment annuity selected. The
Contract contains variable payment annuity tables derived from the 1983(a)
Individual Annuity Mortality Table, with ages set back one year and with an
assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 5% per annum. The total first monthly
variable annuity payment is determined by multiplying the proceeds value
(expressed in thousands of dollars) of a Sub-Account by the amount of the first
monthly payment per $1,000 of value obtained from the tables in the Contracts.
 
    The amount of the first monthly variable annuity payment is divided by the
value of an annuity unit (an accounting unit of measure used to calculate the
value of annuity payments) 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 current annuity unit value.
 
    LEVEL VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS WOULD BE PRODUCED IF THE INVESTMENT RATE
REMAINED CONSTANT AND EQUAL TO THE A.I.R. IN FACT, PAYMENTS WILL VARY UP OR DOWN
AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN RELATIVE TO THE A.I.R.
 

    FIXED ANNUITY: Fixed annuity payments are determined by multiplying the
amount applied to the annuity by a rate, to be determined by Hartford, which is
no less than the rate

<PAGE>
18                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

specified in the fixed payment annuity tables in the Contract. The annuity
payment will remain level for the duration of the annuity.

 

    Hartford will make any other arrangements for income payments as may be
agreed on.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                  BENEFICIARY
 

    The applicant names the beneficiary in the application for the Contract. The
Contract Owner may change the beneficiary (unless irrevocably named) during the
Insured's lifetime by written request to Hartford. If no beneficiary is living
when the Insured dies, the Death Proceeds will be paid to the Contract Owner if
living; otherwise to the Contract Owner's estate.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                   ASSIGNMENT
 

    The Contract may be assigned as collateral for a loan or other obligation.
Hartford is not responsible for any payment made or action taken before receipt
of written notice of such assignment. Proof of interest must be filed with any
claim under a collateral assignment.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                   DIVIDENDS
 
    No dividends will be paid under the Contracts.

- ---------------------------------------------------
                         DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS
 

    Hartford intends to sell the Contracts in all jurisdictions where it is
licensed to do business. The Contracts will be sold by life insurance sales
representatives who represent Hartford and who are registered representatives of
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO") or certain other independent
registered broker-dealers. Any sales representative or employee will have been
qualified to sell variable life insurance contracts under applicable federal and
state laws. Each broker-dealer is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all are members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

 

    Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") serves as Principal
Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the Separate Account. Both
HESCO and HSD are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hartford Life Insurance Company.
The principal business address of HESCO and HSD is the same as that of Hartford.

 

    The maximum sales commission payable to Hartford agents, independent
registered insurance brokers and other registered broker-dealers is 6.0% of
initial and subsequent premiums. Additional annual compensation of no more than
0.75% of Account Value may be paid. From time to time, Hartford may pay or
permit other promotional incentives, in cash or credit or other compensation.

 

    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 variable
annuities and other investment alternatives, including comparisons between the
Contracts and the characteristics of and market for such alternatives.

                          SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE
                                ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
 

    The assets of the Separate Account are held by Hartford. The assets of the
Separate Account are kept physically segregated and held separate and apart from
the General Account of Hartford. Hartford maintains records of all purchases and
redemptions of shares of the Fund. Additional protection for the assets of the
Separate Account is afforded by Hartford's blanket fidelity bond issued by Aetna
Casualty and Surety Company, in the aggregate of $50 million, covering all of
the officers and employees of Hartford.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
- --------------------------------    GENERAL
 

    SINCE THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY ACCORDING
TO THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE CONTRACT OWNER INVOLVED, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE MAY BE
NEEDED BY A PERSON, EMPLOYER, 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 the Contracts cannot be made in this
Prospectus and that special tax rules may be applicable with

<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                               21
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

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. This
discussion of federal tax considerations is based upon Hartford's understanding
of existing federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted.

 

- ---------------------------------------------------

                            TAXATION OF HARTFORD AND
                              THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 

    The Separate Account is taxed as a part of Hartford which is taxed as a life
insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, the Separate Account will not be taxed as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income
and realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account (the underlying
Funds) are reinvested and are taken into account in determining the value of the
Accumulation Units (see "Contract Benefits and Right -- Account Value," page
13). As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are
automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract.

 

    Hartford does not expect to incur any federal income tax on the earnings or
realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon this
expectation, no charge is currently being made to the Separate Account for
federal income taxes. If Hartford incurs income taxes attributable to the
Separate Account or determines that such taxes will be incurred, it may assess a
charge for such taxes against the Separate Account.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                      INCOME TAXATION OF CONTRACT BENEFITS
 

    For federal income tax purposes, the Contracts should be treated as life
insurance contracts under Section 7702 of the Code. The death benefit under a
life insurance contract is generally excluded from the gross income of the
beneficiary. Also, a life insurance contract owner is generally not taxed on
increments in the contract value until the contract is partially or completely
surrendered. Section 7702 limits the amount of premiums that may be invested in
a Contract that is treated as life insurance. Hartford intends to monitor
premium levels to assure compliance with the Section 7702 requirements.

 

    During the first 15 Contract Years, an "income first" rule generally applies
to distributions of cash required to be made under Code Section 7702 because of
a reduction in benefits under the Contract.

 

    The Maturity Date Extension Rider allows a Contract Owner to extend the
Maturity Date to the date of the Insured's death. If the Maturity Date of the
Contract is extended by rider, Hartford believes that the Contract will continue
to be treated as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes after
the scheduled Maturity Date. However, due to the lack of specific guidance on
this issue, the result is not certain. If the Contract is not treated as a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes after the scheduled Maturity
Date, among other things, the Death Proceeds may be taxable to the recipient.
The Contract Owner should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the possible
adverse tax consequences resulting from an extension of the scheduled Maturity
Date.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                            LAST SURVIVOR CONTRACTS
 

    Although Hartford believes that the last survivor Contracts are in
compliance with Section 7702 of the Code, the manner in which Section 7702
should be applied to certain features of a joint survivorship life insurance
contract is not directly addressed by Section 7702. In the absence of final
regulations or other guidance issued under Section 7702, there is necessarily
some uncertainty whether a last survivor Contract will meet the Section 7702
definition of a life insurance contract.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
 

    A life insurance contract is treated as a "modified endowment contract"
under Section 7702A of the Code if it meets the definition of life insurance in
Section 7702 but fails the "seven-pay" test of Section 7702A. The seven-pay test
provides that premiums cannot be paid at a rate more rapidly than that allowed
by the payment of seven annual premiums using specified computational rules
provided in Section 7702A(c). The large single premium permitted under the
Contract does not meet the specified computational rules for the "seven-pay
test" under Section 7702A(c). Therefore, the Contract will generally be treated
as a modified endowment contract for federal income tax purposes. However, an
exchange under Section 1035 of the Code of a life insurance contract issued
before June 21, 1988 will not cause the new contract to be treated as a modified
endowment contract if no additional premiums are paid and there is no change in
the death benefit as the result of the exchange.

 

    A contract that is classified as modified endowment contract is generally
eligible for the beneficial tax treatment accorded to life insurance. That is,
the death benefit is excluded from income and increments in value are not
subject to current taxation. However, loans, distributions or other amounts
received from a modified endowment contract during the life of the Insured will
be taxed to the extent of any accumulated income in the contract (generally, the
excess of account value over premiums paid). Amounts that are taxable
withdrawals will be subject to a 10% additional tax, with certain exceptions.

<PAGE>
22                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

    All modified endowment contracts that are issued within any calendar year to
the same contract owner by one company or its affiliates shall be treated as one
modified endowment contract in determining the taxable portion of any loan or
distributions.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                      ESTATE AND GENERATION SKIPPING TAXES
 
    When the Insured dies, the Death Proceeds will generally be includible in
the Contract Owner's estate for purposes of federal estate tax if the last
surviving Insured owned the Contract. If the Contract Owner was not the last
surviving Insured, the fair market value of the Contract would be included in
the Contract Owner's estate upon the Contract Owner's death. Nothing would be
includible in the last surviving Insured's estate if he or she neither retained
incidents of ownership at death nor had given up ownership within three years
before death.
 
    Federal estate tax is integrated with federal gift tax under a unified rate
schedule. In general, estates less than $600,000 will not incur a federal estate
tax liability. In addition, an unlimited marital deduction may be available for
federal estate and gift tax purposes. The unlimited marital deduction permits
the deferral of taxes until the death of the surviving spouse (when the Death
Proceeds would be available to pay taxes due and other expenses incurred).
 
    If the Contract Owner (whether or not he or she is an Insured) transfers
ownership of the Contract to someone two or more generations younger, the
transfer may be subject to the generation-skipping transfer tax, the taxable
amount being the value of the Contract. The generation-skipping transfer tax
provisions generally apply to transfers which would be subject to the gift and
estate tax rules. Individuals are generally allowed an aggregate generation
skipping transfer exemption of $1 million. Because these rules are complex, the
Contract Owner should consult with a qualified tax adviser for specific
information if ownership is passing to younger generations.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                          DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
 
    Section 817 of the Code provides that a variable life insurance contract
(other than a pension plan policy) will not be treated as a life insurance
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 a life insurance 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 policy 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.
 

    Hartford monitors the diversification of investments in its separate
accounts, including the Separate Account, and tests for diversification as
required by the Code. Hartford intends to administer all Contracts subject to
the diversification requirements in a manner that will maintain adequate
diversification.

 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                           OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS IN
                              THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
    In order for a variable life insurance 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

<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                               23
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

revenue rulings under section 817(d), relating to the definition of "variable
contract." The final regulations issued under Section 817 do not provide
guidance regarding investor control, and as of the date of this Prospectus, no
other such guidance has been issued. Further, 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 regarding
whether a Contract Owner could be considered the owner of the assets for tax
purposes. 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 Account.

                      LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASED FOR USE IN
                           SPLIT DOLLAR ARRANGEMENTS
 
    On January 26, 1996, the IRS released a technical advice memorandum ("TAM")
on the taxability of life insurance policies used in certain split dollar
arrangements. A TAM, issued by the National Office of the IRS, provides advice
as to the internal revenue laws, regulations, and related statutes with respect
to a specific set of facts and a specific taxpayer. In the TAM, among other
things, the IRS concluded that an employee was subject to current taxation on
the excess of the cash surrender value of the policy over the premiums to be
returned to the employer. Purchasers of life insurance policies to be used in
split dollar arrangements are strongly advised to consult with a qualified tax
adviser to determine the tax treatment resulting from such an arrangement.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                         FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
 
    If any amounts are deemed to be current taxable income to the Contract
Owner, such amounts will be subject to federal income tax withholding and
reporting, pursuant to the Code.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                     NON-INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP OF CONTRACTS
 
    Legislation has recently been proposed which would limit certain of the tax
advantages now afforded non-individual owners of life insurance contracts.
Prospective Contract Owners which are not individuals should consult a tax
adviser to determine the status of this proposed legislation and its potential
impact on the purchaser.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------
                                     OTHER
 

    Federal estate tax, state and local estate, inheritance and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of Contract proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Contract Owner or beneficiary. A tax adviser should be
consulted to determine the impact of these taxes.

                    LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT
                        ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
 

    The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal
income tax consequences to life insurance 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 taxable distributions from
life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In
addition, purchasers may be subject to 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 adviser
regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation with respect to a life insurance
policy purchase.

                                   APPENDIX A
                           ILLUSTRATIONS OF BENEFITS
 
The tables in Appendix A illustrate the way in which a Contract operates. They
show how the death benefit and surrender value could vary over an extended
period of time assuming hypothetical gross rates of return equal to constant
after tax annual rates of 0%, 6% and 12%. The tables are based on an initial
premium of $10,000. A male age 45, a female age 55 and a male age 65 with Face
Amounts of $40,161, $33,334 and $19,380, respectively, are illustrated for the
single life Contract. The illustrations for the last survivor Contract assume
male and female of equal ages, including age 55 and 65 for Face Amounts of
$44,053 and $27,778.
 
    The death benefit and surrender value for a Contract would be different from
those shown if the rates of return averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a period of
years, but also fluctuated above or below those averages for individual Contract
Years. They would also differ if any Contract loan were made during the period
of time illustrated.
 
    The tables reflect the deductions of current Contract charges and guaranteed
Contract charges for a single gross interest rate. The death benefits and
surrender values would change if the current cost of insurance charges change.
 
    The amounts shown for the death benefit and surrender value as of the end of
each Contract Year take into account an average daily charge equal to an annual
charge of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Funds for investment
advisory and administrative services fees. The gross annual investment return
rates of 0%, 6% and 12% on the Fund's assets are equal to net annual investment
return rates (net of the 0.75% average daily charge) of -0.75%, 5.25% and
11.25%, respectively.
 
    In addition, the death benefit and surrender value as of the end of each
Contract Year take into account the (1) tax expense charge equal to an annual
rate of 0.40% of Account Value for the first ten Contract Years; (2)
administrative charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% of Account Value
attributable to the Separate Account; (3) mortality and expense risk charge
equal to an annual rate of 0.90% of Account Value attributable to the Separate
Account; and (4) any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and premium tax charge
which may be applicable in the first nine Contract Years.
 
    The hypothetical returns shown in the tables are without any tax charges
that may be attributable to the Separate Account in the future. In order to
produce after tax returns of 0%, 6%, and 12%, the Separate Account would have to
earn a sufficient amount in excess of 0% or 6% or 12% to cover any tax charges
(see "Deductions and Charges -- Taxes Charged Against the Separate Account,"
page 12).
 

    The "Premium Paid Plus Interest" column of each table shows the amount which
would accumulate if the initial premium was invested to earn interest, after
taxes of 5% per year, compounded annually. Hartford will furnish upon request, a
comparable illustration reflecting the proposed insureds age, risk
classification, Face Amount or initial premium requested, and reflecting
guaranteed cost of insurance rates. Hartford will also furnish an additional
similar illustration reflecting current cost of insurance rates which may be
less than, but never greater than, the guaranteed cost of insurance rates.

ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

To the Board of Directors of
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company:

 

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of ITT Hartford
Life and Annuity Insurance Company (a Connecticut Corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company) (the Company) as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related statutory-basis statements of income, changes in
capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. 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-basis
financial statements. When statutory-basis 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-basis 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, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996.

 

However, in our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996
in conformity with statutory accounting practices as described in Note 1.

 

As discussed in Note 1 of notes to statutory financial statements, during 1994,
the Company changed its valuation method in determining aggregate reserves for
future benefits.

 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
Hartford Life, Inc. ("Hartford Life"), which is ultimately owned by ITT Hartford
Group, Inc. ("The Hartford"), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT
Corporation ("ITT"). On February 10, 1997, The Hartford announced its plans to
sell up to 20% of Hartford Life to the public. On December 19, 1995, ITT
Corporation distributed all the outstanding shares of The Hartford to ITT
shareholders of record in an action known herein as the "Distribution". As a
result of the Distribution, The Hartford became an independent, publicly traded
company. During 1996, ILA re-domesticated from the State of Wisconsin to the
State of Connecticut.

 

    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 State of
Connecticut Department of Insurance.

 

    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 liabilities 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;

 

    (5) excluding certain GAAP assets designated as non-admitted assets (e.g.,
    past due agents' 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 option basis, using a twenty year phase-in approach,
    whereas GAAP liabilities are required to be recorded;

 

    (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, whereas 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, those investments were
    reflected at fair value with the corresponding impact included as a
    component of Stockholder's Equity designated as "Net unrealized capital
    (loss)/ gain on investments, net of tax". For statutory reporting purposes,
    Net Unrealized Capital Losses (Gains) on Common Stocks represent unrealized
    losses (gains) on common stock reported at fair value; and

 

    (10) separate account liabilities 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 and for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
significant differences between statutory and GAAP basis net income and capital
and surplus for the Company are summarized as follows:

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 actuarial standards. Reserves for life
insurance policies are generally based on the 1958 and 1980 Commissioner's
Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables and various valuation rates ranging from 2.5%
to 5%. 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
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 Basis 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 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 net unrealized capital (losses)/gains on common stocks are
reported as (reductions)/additions of surplus. The Asset Valuation Reserve
("AVR") is designed to provide a standardized reserving process for realized and
unrealized losses due to default and equity risks associated with invested
assets. The reserve decreased by $568 in 1996 and increased by $5,588 and $1,356
in 1995 and 1994, 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 Basis Statements of Income. Realized investment gains and
losses are determined on a specific identification basis. The amount of net
capital gains reclassified from the IMR was $1,413 and $39 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and the amount of net capital losses was $67 in 1994. The amount
of income amortized was $392, $256 and $114 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

 

OTHER LIABILITIES

 

    The amount reflected in other liabilities includes a receivable from the
separate accounts of $640 million and $333 million as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The balances are classified in accordance with NAIC
accounting practices.

- ---------------------------------------------------

 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 

    Transactions between the Company and its affiliates within The 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 bonds and short-
term investments, common stocks 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 million were recorded as an increase to
paid-in surplus.

 

    For additional information, see Note 5.

 

- ---------------------------------------------------

 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 

    The Company and The Hartford have entered into a tax sharing agreement under
which each member in the consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return will make
payments between them such that, with respect to any period, the amount of taxes
to be paid by the Company, subject to certain adjustments, generally will be
determined as though the Company were to file separate federal, state and local
income tax returns.

 

    As long as The Hartford continues to beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, at least 80% of the combined voting power and 80% of the value of
the outstanding capital stock of Hartford Life, the Company will be included for
Federal income tax purposes in the consolidated group of which The Hartford is
the common parent. It is the current intention of The Hartford and its
subsidiaries to continue to file a single consolidated Federal income tax
return. The Company will continue to remit (receive from) The Hartford a current
income tax provision (benefit) computed in accordance with such tax sharing
agreement. Federal income taxes paid by the Company were $29,792, $215,921 and
$20,538 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The effective tax rate was 22%,
25% and 92% in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The following schedule
provides a reconciliation of the tax provision at the U.S. Federal Statutory
rate to Federal income tax expense (in millions).

 5. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS AND SHAREHOLDER
   DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
 

    The maximum amount of dividends which can be paid, without prior approval,
by State of Connecticut 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. No dividends were paid in 1996 or
1994. ILA paid dividends of $10 million to its parent, HLIC, in 1995. As a
result of the Distribution by ITT, the assets of ITT Lyndon Insurance

<PAGE>
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

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 surplus.

 

- ---------------------------------------------------

 6. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT
   AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
 

    The Company's employees are included in The 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
$358, $1,034, and $1,211 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Liabilities for
the plan are held by The Hartford.

 

    The Company also participates in The 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 The Hartford. The cost to ILA was not
material in 1996, 1995 and 1994.

 

    The Company's employees are included in The Hartford'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
The Hartford 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 9.3% for 1996, 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
1996, 1995 and 1994.

 

    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 1996, 1995 and 1994.

 

- ---------------------------------------------------

 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:

                                    ----------  ----------  ----------
</TABLE>

 

    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, in
December 1994, 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 1994.

 

    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 1994.

 

    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 1994.

 

    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 liabilities totaling $14.6
billion and $7.3 billion at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Separate
account assets are reported at fair value and separate account liabilities are
determined in accordance with 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 $144 million, $72
million and $42 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and are recorded
as a component of other revenues on the Statutory Basis Statements of Income.

 

- ---------------------------------------------------

 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 

    As of December 31, 1996 and 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 normal course 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 $1,262, $1,684 and $583 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. ILA incurred guaranteed fund expense of $548, $0 and $0 in 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

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

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.
