HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY                      PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER LIFE
P. O. BOX 2999                                           Modified Single Premium
HARTFORD, CT  06104-2999                       Variable Life Insurance Contracts

This prospectus describes Putnam Capital Manager Life, a modified single premium
variable life insurance contract ("Contract" or "Contracts") offered by Hartford
Life Insurance Company ("Hartford Life") to applicants age 90 and under.  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 ___. 
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 Life 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 the 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, we 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 CONTRACT

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 ___.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE FUNDS

Separate Account Five ("Separate Account") funds the variable life insurance
Contracts offered by this prospectus.  Hartford Life 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 sixteen (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 Life's Home Office, to the PCM Money Market Fund Sub-Account.  After
the expiration of the Right to Cancel Period, the values in 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 ___.

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 prospectus for the Funds
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 ___.

The following table shows operating expenses of the Funds in 1995:

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 45 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 45 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 Life may require
evidence of insurability for any additional premiums which increase the Coverage
Amount.  Generally, the minimum initial premium Hartford Life will accept is
$10,000.  Hartford Life 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 Life 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 Life's anticipated mortality costs.  In
addition, Hartford Life 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 Life 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 premium tax deduction represents an average premium tax of 2.5%
of premiums over ten years. Hartford Life 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 Life for administrative
expenses incurred in the administration of the Separate Account and the
Contracts.  Hartford Life 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 Life 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 ___
and "Contract Benefits and Rights - Lapse and Reinstatement," page ___.

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

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

Applicants should review the prospectuses for the Funds which accompany 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 9th Contract Year, there is no charge.
The contingent deferred sales charge is imposed to cover a portion of the sales
expense incurred by Hartford Life in distributing the Contracts.  This expense
includes agents commissions, advertising and the printing of prospectuses.  See
"Deductions and Charges - Contingent Deferred Sales Charge," page ___.  

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 ___.

For a discussion of the tax consequences of surrender of the Contract or a
partial withdrawal, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page ___. 

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, we 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 ___.

ACCOUNT VALUE

The Account Value of the Contract 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 ___.

CONTRACT LOANS

A Contract Owner may obtain one or both of two types of cash loans from Hartford
Life.  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 ___.

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 Life 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 ___ and "Lapse and 
Reinstatement," page ___.

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
Life or to the agent who sold the Contract, to be cancelled within 10 days after
delivery of the Contract to the applicant (in certain cases, this free-look
period is longer), Hartford Life will return to the applicant within 7 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 
Life 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 ___.

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 ___.

                                 THE COMPANY

Hartford Life Insurance Company ("Hartford Life") was originally incorporated
under the laws of Massachusetts on June 5, 1902.  It was subsequently
redomiciled to Connecticut.  It is a stock life insurance company engaged in the
business of writing health and life insurance, both individual and group, in all
states of the United States and the District of Columbia.  The offices of
Hartford Life are located in Simsbury, Connecticut; however, its mailing address
is P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, CT  06104-2999.

Hartford Life is ultimately 100% owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company, one
of the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United States.  On
December 20, 1995, Hartford Fire Insurance Company became an independent,
publicly traded corporation.

Hartford Life is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc., on the
basis of its financial soundness and operating performance.  Hartford Life 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
Life's ability to meet its insurance obligations, including those under the
Contract.

Hartford Life is subject to Connecticut law governing insurance companies and is
regulated and supervised by the Connecticut Commissioner of Insurance.  An
annual statement in a prescribed form must be filed with that Commissioner on or
before March 1 in each year covering the operations of Hartford Life for the
preceding year and its financial condition on December 31 of such year.  Its
books and assets are subject to review or examination by the Commissioner or his
agents at all times, and a full examination of its operations is conducted by
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") at least once in
every four years.  In addition, Hartford Life is subject to the insurance laws
and regulations of any jurisdiction in which it sells its insurance contracts. 
Hartford Life is also subject to various Federal and State securities laws and
regulations.

                             THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

GENERAL

Separate Account Five ("Separate Account") is a separate account of Hartford
Life 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 Owners and persons entitled to
payments under the Contracts.  The assets for the Separate Account are not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business which Hartford
Life may conduct.

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 Putnam Funds may, however, employ different
investment practices and may invest in securities different from those in which
their counterpart Funds invest, and consequently will not have identical
portfolios or experience identical investment results.

The Funds are available only to serve as the underlying investment for variable
annuity and variable life contracts.  A full description of the Funds, their
investment objectives, policies and restrictions, risks, charges and expenses
and other aspects of their operation is contained in the accompanying Trust
Prospectus which should be read in conjunction with this Prospectus before
investing, and in the Trust Statement of Additional Information which may be
ordered without charge from Putnam Investor Services, Inc.

It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts to
invest in the Funds simultaneously.  Although Hartford Life and the Funds do not
currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable annuity contract
owners or to variable life insurance policy owners, the Trust's Board of
Trustees intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts
between such Contract Owners and policy owners and to determine what action, if
any, should be taken in response thereto.  If the Board of Trustees of the Funds
were to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and
variable annuity separate accounts, the variable annuity Contract holders would
not bear any expenses attendant upon establishment of such separate funds.

                                 THE CONTRACT

APPLICATION FOR A CONTRACT
                                  
Individuals wishing to purchase a Contract must submit an application to
Hartford Life.  A Contract will be issued only on the lives of insureds age 90
and under who supply evidence of insurability satisfactory to Hartford Life. 
Acceptance is subject to Hartford Life's underwriting rules and Hartford Life
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 LIFE.  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 Life 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 then current limits established by Hartford Life,
the initial payment will not be accepted with the application.  In other cases
where we receive the initial payment with the application, we 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 we will require a sufficient 
payment to place the insurance in force.

PREMIUMS

<PAGE>

                                    - 18 -


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 45 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 45 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 Life may require evidence of insurability for any
additional premiums which increase the Coverage Amount.  Generally, the minimum
initial premium Hartford Life will accept is $10,000.  Hartford Life 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 Life's Home Office, Hartford Life 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) will
be 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

<PAGE>

                                    - 19 -


corresponding Fund at the beginning of the Valuation Period.  Applicants should 
refer to the prospectuses for the Funds which accompany 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 ___.

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 Life 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 Life 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 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 ___.  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 Life's
anticipated mortality costs for standard and substandard risks.  Current cost of
insurance rates are lower after the 10th 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 Life 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.

<PAGE>

                                    - 20 -


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" on page ___.)

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 Life 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 Life 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 Life'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 Life does not expect to make a profit from this deduction.  The 0.15%
federal tax deduction helps reimburse Hartford Life for approximate expenses
incurred from federal taxes under Section 848 of the Code.  The federal tax
deduction is a factor Hartford Life must use when computing the maximum sales
load chargeable under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE:  Hartford Life will deduct monthly from the Account Value
attributable to

<PAGE>

                                    - 21 -


the Separate Account an administrative charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40%. 
This charge compensates Hartford Life for administrative expenses incurred in 
the administration of  the Separate Account and the Contracts.

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE:  Hartford Life 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 Life 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 Life 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 Hartford Life 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 Life 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. 

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE  

If the Account Value on a Contract Anniversary is less than $50,000, Hartford
Life will deduct on such date an Annual Maintenance Fee of $30.  This fee will
help reimburse Hartford Life 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 Life 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 Life 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 prospectus for the Funds.

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 9th Contract Year, there is no charge.

<PAGE>
                                    - 22 -


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 earnings and 
then from premiums paid.  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 Life 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 ___.

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:

       CONTRACT
         YEAR      RATE    
         ----      ----

          1        2.25%
          2        2.00%
          3        1.75%
          4        1.50%
          5        1.25%
          6        1.00%
          7        0.75%
          8        0.50%
          9        0.25%
         10+       0.00%

After the ninth Contract Year, no additional premium tax charge will be 
imposed.

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 

<PAGE>
                                    - 23 -


be less than the Face Amount, a decrease in Account Value may decrease the 
Death Benefit but never below the Face Amount.

     EXAMPLES:
     --------                                   A              B
                                             --------       --------
     Face Amount:                            $100,000       $100,000
     Insured's Age:                                40             40
     Account Value on Date of Death:           46,500         34,000
     Specified Percentage                        250%           250%

     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 we
     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 ____.

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 ____.

TRANSFER OF ACCOUNT VALUE

While the Contract remains in effect and subject to Hartford Life'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 Life 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 

<PAGE>
                                    - 24 -


attorney.  Telephone transfers may not be permitted in some states.  The 
policy of Hartford Life 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 Life will employ reasonable 
procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are 
genuine; otherwise, Hartford Life may be liable for any losses due to 
unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.  The procedures Hartford Life 
follows for transactions initiated by telephone include requirements that 
callers provide certain information for identification purposes.  All 
transfer instructions by telephone are tape recorded. 

Hartford Life may modify the right to reallocate Account Value among the 
Sub-Accounts if Hartford Life 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 Life 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 Life 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 Life 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 Life.  
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 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 Life 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.

<PAGE>
                                    - 25 -


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 Life will give written notice to 
the Contract Owner that unless Hartford Life 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 ____.

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 
Life 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 Life will pay the Cash 
Surrender Value of the Contract within seven days of receipt by Hartford Life 
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 ___. 

If the Contract Owner chooses to apply the surrender proceeds to a payment 
option (see "Other Matters - Payment Options," page ___), 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 Options 
1, 5 or 6 will be subject to the contingent deferred 

<PAGE>
                                    - 26 -


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 
Life'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 will be 
deemed to be first from earnings, if any, and then from premiums paid.  
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."  For a discussion of the tax consequences of partial 
withdrawals, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page ___.      

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 Life, Hartford Life will pay to the Contract Owner the Cash 
Surrender Value.  In such case, the Contract will terminate and Hartford Life 
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.")

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 Life 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 ___.

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 
Life will require repayment of the loan before permitting reinstatement.  In 
addition, Hartford Life reserves the right to require evidence of 
insurability satisfactory to Hartford Life.

                                    - 27 -


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 Life or to 
the agent who sold the Contract, to be cancelled within 10 days after 
delivery of the Contract to the Contract Owner (a longer free-look period is 
provided in certain cases), Hartford Life will return to the Applicant within 
7 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 Life 
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 Life (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 Life 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 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 a single life and "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 ___.

2.  To qualify for simplified underwriting under a last survivor
  Contract, both Insureds must meet the simplified underwriting standards.

<PAGE>
                                    - 28 -


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 ___." 
                                       
                                OTHER MATTERS

VOTING RIGHTS

In accordance with its interpretation of presently applicable law, Hartford 
Life 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 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 Life 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 Life) 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 Life's present interpretation 
should change and, as a result, Hartford Life 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 ____) will not be 
considered in determining the voting interests of the Contract Owner.  
Contract Owners should review the prospectuses for the Funds which accompany 
this prospectus to determine matters  on which shareholders may vote.

Hartford Life 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 Life 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 Life 

<PAGE>
                                     - 29 -


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 Life 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 Life will maintain all records relating to the Separate Account and 
the Sub-Accounts.  At least once each Contract Year, Hartford Life 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 loan 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 Life 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 2 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 Life's payment options.  The 
minimum amount that may be applied under a payment option is $5,000 unless 
Hartford Life 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 Options 1 or 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.

We 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.  

<PAGE>
                                    - 30 -


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

OPTION 1:  INTEREST INCOME

This option offers payments of interest, at the rate we declare, 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 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 
Life.

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 Life, 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 
5 to 30 years.  

<PAGE>
                                    - 31 -


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 Life.

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 Life.  

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

OPTION 6:  DEATH PROCEEDS REMAINING WITH HARTFORD LIFE

Proceeds from the Death Benefit left with Hartford Life.  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 1983a 
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 

<PAGE>
                                    - 32 -


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 Life 
which is no less than the rate specified in the fixed payment annuity tables 
in the Contract.  The annuity payment will remain level for the duration of 
the annuity.

Hartford Life 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 Life.  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 Life 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 Life 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 Life 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.  The
principal business address of HESCO and HSD is the same as Hartford Life.

The maximum sales commission payable to Hartford Life agents, independent
registered insurance brokers, and other registered broker-dealers is 7.0% of
initial and subsequent premiums.  From time to time, Hartford Life may pay or
permit other promotional incentives, in cash or credit or other compensation.

Hartford Life 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 Life.  The assets of the
Separate Account are kept physically segregated and held separate and apart from
the General Account of Hartford Life.  Hartford Life 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 Life'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 Life.

                          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 these Contracts cannot be made in this
Prospectus and that special tax rules may be applicable with respect to certain
purchase situations not discussed herein.  In addition, no attempt is made here
to consider any applicable state or other tax laws.  For detailed information, a
qualified tax adviser should always be consulted.  This discussion of Federal
tax considerations is based upon Hartford Life 's understanding of current
Federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted.

TAXATION OF HARTFORD LIFE AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

The Separate Account is taxed as a part of Hartford Life which is taxed as a
life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code ("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," on 
page ___).  As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are
automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract.

Hartford Life 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 Life 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 Life intends to monitor
premium levels to assure compliance with the Section 7702 requirements.

<PAGE>

                                    - 39 -


During the first fifteen 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 Life 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 Life 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.

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, a loan, 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.

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

<PAGE>

                                    - 41 -


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 Life monitors the diversification of investments in the separate
accounts and tests for diversification as required by the Code.  Hartford Life
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 revenue rulings under section 817(d), relating to the
definition of variable contract."  The final regulations issued under Section
817 did not provide guidance regarding investor control, and as of the date of
this Prospectus, no other such guidance has been issued.  Further, Hartford Life
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 Life reserves the
right to modify the contracts, as necessary, to prevent Contract Owners from
being considered the owners of the assets in the separate accounts.

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 advisor
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 - Charges Against The Separate Account - Taxes," 
page ___).

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 Life 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 Life
Insurance Company 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.

Five and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein: 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets & liabilities of Hartford 
Life Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Five (the 
Account) as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations and 
the statement of changes in net assets for the period from inception, 
January 10, 1995, to December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audit 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

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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Hartford Life Insurance Company
Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Five as of December 31, 1995, and
the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for the period

PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE - HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 1995

1.  ORGANIZATION:

Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Five (the Account) is a separate
investment account within Hartford Life Insurance Company (the Company) and is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a unit
investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Both the
Company and the Account are subject to supervision and regulation by the
Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the SEC. The account
commenced operations on January 10, 1995. The Account invests deposits by
Variable annuity contractholders of the Company in various mutual funds (the
Funds) as directed by the contractholders. 

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Account,
which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
investment company industry: 

A) Security Transactions--Security transactions are recorded on the trade date
(date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of investments sold is
determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend and capital gains income
are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains income represents
dividends from the funds which are characterized as capital gains under tax
regulations. 

B) Security Valuation--The investment in shares of the Funds is valued at the
closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate Fund as of
December 31, 1995. 

C) Federal Income Taxes The operations of the Account form a part of, and are
taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as an insurance
company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, no federal income
taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the Account. 

D) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principle requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could vary from the
amounts derived from management's estimates. 

3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES: 

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Hartford Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hartford Life 
Insurance Company (a Connecticut corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of 
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company) and subsidiaries as of December 
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of  income, 
stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 1995.  These consolidated financial statements and the 
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of Hartford Life Insurance 
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
consolidated financial statements and schedules 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 consolidated financial 
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, 
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the 
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as 
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe 
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position 
of Hartford Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 
and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each 
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, 
Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted new accounting standards promulgated 
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, changing its methods of 
accounting, as of January 1, 1994, for debt and equity securities.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.  The schedules listed in 
the Index to Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules are presented 
for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules 
and are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements.  
These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the 
audits of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, 
fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to be set 
forth therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements 
taken as a whole.

HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A)  Basis of Presentation  These consolidated financial statements include
Hartford Life Insurance Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Hartford
Life" or the "Company"), ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ILA")
and ITT Hartford International Life Reassurance Corporation ("HLRe"), formerly
American Skandia Life Reinsurance Corporation.  Hartford Life is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company ("HLA").  Hartford
Life is ultimately owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company ("Hartford Fire"),
which is ultimately owned by ITT Hartford Group, Inc. ("ITT Hartford"), formerly
a subsidiary of ITT Corporation ("ITT").  On December 19, 1995, ITT Corporation
distributed all of the outstanding shares of ITT Hartford Group to ITT
Corporation Shareholders of record in an action known herein as the
"Distribution."  As a result of the Distribution, ITT Hartford became an
independent publicly traded company.

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company offers life,
annuity, pension, and disability insurance products. These products are
distributed and marketed by multiple distribution channels which include
broker-dealers, agents and banks, as well as a captive sales force. Hartford
Life conducts business primarily in the United States and is licensed to write
business in all 50 states. The Company is headquartered in Simsbury, Connecticut
and has 3,045 direct employees. 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which differ in certain material respects from
the accounting practices prescribed oarious insurance regulatory authorities.

(B)  Changes in Accounting Principles Effective January 1, 1994, Hartford Life
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  The new
standard requires, among other things, that securities be classified as
"held-to-maturity," "available-for-sale" or "trading" based on Hartford Life's
intentions with respect to the ultimate disposition of the security and its
ability to effect those intentions.  The classification determines the
appropriate accounting carrying value (cost basis or fair value) and, in the
case of fair value, whether the adjustment impacts Stockholder's Equity directly
or is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  Investments in equity
securities had previously been and continue to be recorded at fair value with
the corresponding impact included in Stockholder's Equity.  Under SFAS No. 115, 
Hartford Life's fixed maturities are classified as "available-for-sale" and
accordingly, these investments are reflected at fair value with the
corresponding impact included as a component of Stockholder's Equity designated
as "Unrealized loss on investments, net of tax."  As with the underlying
investment security, unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial
instruments are considered in determining the fair value of the portfolios.  The
impact of adoption was an increase to Stockholder's Equity of $91.  Hartford
Life's cash flows were not impacted by this change in accounting principle.

(C)  Revenue Recognition  Revenues for universal life policies and investment
products consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy
administration and surrender charges assessed to policy account balances. 
Premiums for traditional life insurance policies are recognized as revenues when
they are due from policyholders.  Deferred acquisition costs are amortized using
the retrospective deposit method for universal life and other types of contracts
t pattern is irregular or surrender charges are a significant source of profit
and the prospective deposit method is used where investment margins are the
primary source of profit.

(D)  Future Policy Benefits and Other Policyholders Funds  Liabilities for
future policy benefits are computed by the net level premium method using
interest rate assumptions varying from 3% to 11% and withdrawal, mortality and
morbidity assumptions which vary by plan, year of issue and policy durations and
include a provision for adverse deviation.  Other policyholder funds which
represent liabilities for universal life insurance and investment products
reflect policy account balances before applicable surrender charges.

(E)  Policyholder Realized Gains and Losses  Realized gains and losses on
security transactions associated with Hartford Life's immediate participation
guaranteed  contracts are excluded from revenues, since under the terms of the
contracts the realized gains and losses will be credited to policyholders in
future years as they are entitled to receive them.

(F)  Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Policy acquisition costs, including
commissions and certain underwriting expenses associated with acquiring
traditional life insurance products, are deferred and amortized over the lesser
of the estimated or actual contract life.  For universal life insurance and
investment products, acquisition costs are being amortized generally in
proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender
charges, investment, mortality and expense margins.

(G)  Investments  Hartford Life's investments in fixed maturities include bonds,
redeemable preferred stock and commercial paper which are classified as
"available-for-sale" and accordingly are carried at market value with the
after-tax difference from cost reflected as a component of  Stockholder's Equity
designated "Unrealized loss on investments, net of tax." Equity securities,
which include common and non-redeemable preferred stocks, are carried at market
fter-tax difference from cost reflected in Stockholder's Equity.  Realized
investment gains and losses, after deducting life and pension policyholders'
share, are reported as a component of revenue and are determined on a specific
identification basis. 



<PAGE>

(H)  Derivative Financial Instruments  Hartford Life uses a variety of
derivative financial instruments including swaps, caps, floors, options,
forwards and exchange traded financial futures as part of an overall risk
management strategy.  These instruments are used as a means of hedging exposure
to price, foreign currency and/or interest rate risk on planned investment
purchases or existing assets and liabilities. Hartford Life does not hold or
issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Hartford Life's
accounting for derivative financial instruments used to manage risk is in
accordance with the concepts established in SFAS No. 80, "Accounting for Futures
Contracts," SFAS No. 52 , "Foreign Currency Translation," American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of  Position 86-2, "Accounting for
Options" and various Emerging Issues Task Force pronouncements. Written options
are in all cases used in conjunction with other assets and derivatives as part
of an overall risk management strategy.  Derivative instruments are carried at
values consistent with the asset or liability being hedged.  Derivatives used to
hedge fixed maturities or equities are carried at fair value with the after-tax
difference from cost reflected in Stockholder's Equity.  Derivatives used to
hedge other invested assets or liabilities are carried at cost.

Derivatives, used as part of a risk management strategy, must be designated at
inception as a hedge and measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an
ongoing basis. Hartford Life's minimum correlation threshold for hedge
designation is 80%.  If correlation, which is assessed monthly and measured
based on a rolling three month average, falls below 80%, hedge accounting will
be terminated. Deo create a synthetic asset must meet synthetic accounting
criteria including designation at inception and consistency of terms between the
synthetic and the instrument being replicated.  Synthetic instrument accounting,
consistent with industry practice, provides that the synthetic asset is
accounted for like the financial instrument it is intended to replicate. 
Derivatives which fail to meet risk management criteria are marked to market
with the impact reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Gains or losses on financial futures contracts entered into in anticipation of
the future receipt of product cash flows are deferred and, at the time of the
ultimate purchase, reflected as a basis adjustment to the purchased asset. 
Gains or losses on futures used in invested asset risk management are deferred
and adjusted into the basis of the hedged asset when the contract futures are
closed, except for  futures used in duration hedging which are deferred and
basis adjusted on a quarterly basis.  The basis adjustments are amortized into
investment income over the remaining asset life.  Open forward commitment
contracts are marked to market through Stockholder's Equity.  Such contracts are
recorded at settlement by recording the purchase of the specified securities at
the previously committed price.  Gains or losses resulting from the termination
of the forward commitment contracts before the delivery of the securities are
recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component
of net investment income.

The cost of options entered into as part of a risk management strategy are basis
adjusted to the underlying asset or liability and amortized over the remaining
life of the hedge. Gains or losses on expiration or termination are adjusted
into the basis of the underlying asset or liability and amortized over the
remaining asset life. 

Interest rate swaps involve the periodic exchange of payments without the
exchange of underlying principal or notional amounts.  Net receipts or payments
are accrued and recognized over the life of the swap agreement as an adjustment
to income.  Should the swap be terminated, the gain or loss is adjusted into the
basis of the asset or liability and amortized over the remaining life. Should
the hedged asset be sold or liability terminated without terminating the swap
position, any swap gains or losses are immediately recognized in earnings. 
Interest rate swaps purchased  in anticipation of an asset purchase
("anticipatory transaction") are recognized  consistent with the underlying
asset components such that the settlement component is recognized in the
Consolidated Statements of Income while the change in market value is recognized
as an unrealized gain or loss. 

Premiums paid on purchased floor or cap agreements and the premium received on
issued floor or cap  agreements (used for risk management), are adjusted into
the basis of the applicable asset and amortized over the asset life.  Gains or
losses on termination of such positions are adjusted into the basis of the asset
or liability and amortized over the remaining asset life.  Net payments are
recognized as an adjustment to income or basis adjusted and amortized depending
on the specific hedge strategy.

Forward exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps are accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 52.

(I)  Related Party Transactions  Transactions of Hartford Life with its parent
and affiliates relate principally to tax settlements, insurance coverage, rental
and service fees and payment of dividends and capis.  In addition, certain
affiliated insurance companies purchased group annuity contracts from Hartford
Life to fund pension costs and claim annuities to settle casualty claims.

On June 30, 1995, the assets of Lyndon Insurance Company ("Lyndon") were
contributed to ILA.  As a result, ILA received approximately $365 in fixed
maturities, equity securities and cash, $26 in receivables, $187 of current tax
liability, $20 in deferred tax liability, and $3 of other liabilities.  The
excess of assets over liabilities of $181 were recorded as an increase to
paid-in capital. 

Substantially all general insurance expenses related to Hartford Life, including
rent expenses, are initially paid by Hartford Fire.  Direct expenses are
allocated to Hartford Life using specific identification and indirect expenses
are allocated using other applicable methods.

The rent paid to Hartford Fire for the space occupied by Hartford Life was $3 in
1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively.  Hartford Life expects to pay rent of $3 in
1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively and $57 thereafter, over the
contract life of the lease.

(J) Dividends to Policyholders  Dividends to policyholders primarily represent
those amounts paid to corporate owned life insurance ("COLI") policyholders.
These dividend liabilities, which appear as other policyholder funds on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets, are recorded when approved by the board of
directors.

See Note (4) for the related party coinsurance agreements.

(a) Inverse floaters are variations of CMO's for which the coupon rates move
inversely with an index rate (e.g. LIBOR).  The risk to principal is considered
negligible as the underlying collateral for the securities is guaranteed or
sponsored by government agencies.   To address the volatility risk created by
the coupon variability, Hartford Life uses a variety of derivative instruments,
primarily interest rate swaps and issued floors.

(b) Includes issued caps $475 with a weighted average strike rate of 8.5%
(ranging from 7.0% to 10.4%) and over 85% mature in 2000 through 2004.  Issued
floors totaled $236, have a weighted average strike rate of 8.1% (ranging from
5.3% to 10.9%) and mature through 2007 with 76% maturing by 2004.

(c) Comprised of purchased floors of $1.8 billion and purchased caps of $1.7
billion.  The floors have a weighted average strike price of 5.8% (ranging from
3.7% to 6.8%) and over 85% mature in 1997 through 1999.  The caps have a
weighted average strike price of 7.5% (ranging from 4.5% and 10.1%) and over 82%
mature in 1997 through 1999.

(d) Over 95% of futures contracts expire before December 31, 1996.

(e) Deferred gains and losses on anticipatory transactions are included in the
carrying value of bond investments in the consolidated balance sheets.  At the
time of  the ultimate purchase, they are reflected as a basis adjustment to the
purchased asset.  At December 31, 1995, there were $5.3 in net deferred losses
for futures, interest rate swaps and purchased options.

(f) The following table summarizes the maturities by notional value of interest
rate swaps outstand31, 1995 and the related weighted average interest pay rate
or receive rate assuming current market conditions:

In addition to risk management through derivative financial instruments
pertaining to the investment portfolio, interest rate sensitivity related to
certain Company liabilities was altered primarily through interest rate swap
agreements. The notional amount of the liability agreements in which Hartford
Life generally pays one variable rate in exchange for another, was $1.7 billion
at December 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively.  The weighted average pay rate is
5.9%; the weighted average receive rate is 6.0% , and these agreements mature at
various times through 2001.

(f)  Concentration of Credit Risk  Hartford Life has a reinsurance recoverable
of $5.6 billion from Mutual Benece Corporation (Mutual Benefit).  The risk of
Mutual Benefit becoming insolvent is mitigated by the reinsurance agreement's
requirement that the assets be kept in a security trust with Hartford Life as
sole beneficiary.  Excluding investments in U.S. government and agencies,
Hartford Life has no other significant concentrations of credit risk.

Included in fixed maturity investments at December 31, 1995 were $39 of Orange
County, California Pension Obligation Bonds, $17 of which were carried in the
general account and $22 which were included in Hartford Life's guaranteed
separate accounts. During 1995 all interest payments due were received.  While
Orange County is currently operating under Protection of Chapter 9 of the
Federal Bankruptcy Laws, Hartford Life believes the bonds are not impaired other
than on a temporary basis.

(g)  Fixed Maturities  The schedule below details the amortized cost and fair
values of Hartford Life's fixed maturities by component, along with the gross
unrealized gains and losses:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturities at December 
31, 1995, by maturity, are shown below.  Asset backed securities are 
distributed to maturity year based on estimates of the rate of future 
prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities.  Expected 
maturities differ from contractual maturities reflecting the borrowers' 
rights to call or prepay their obligations.

The following methods and  used to estimate the fair value of each class of 
financial instrument: fair value for fixed maturities and equity securities 
approximate those quotations published by applicable stock exchanges or are 
received from other reliable sources; policy and mortgage loan carrying 
amounts approximate fair value; investments in partnerships and trusts are 
based on external market valuations from partnership and trust management; 
and other policy claims and benefits payable are determined by estimating 
future cash flows discounted at the current market rate.

3.  Income Tax  Hartford Life is included in ITT Hartford Group's 
consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return and remits to (receives from) ITT 
Hartford Group, Inc. a current income tax provision (benefit) computed in 
accordance with the tax sharing arrangements between its insurance 
subsidiaries.  The effective tax rate was 32% in 1995 and 1994, and 
approximates the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% in 1993.

The provision for income taxes was as follows:

Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1984, the Life Insurance Company Income Tax 
Act of 1959 permitted the deferral from tax tion of a portion of statutory 
income under certain circumstances.  In these situations, the deferredmulated 
in a "Policyholders' Surplus Account" and will be taxable in the future only 
under conditions which management considers to be remote; therefore, no 
Federal income taxes have been provided on this deferred income.  The balance 
for tax return purposes of the Policyholders' Surplus Account as of December 
31, 1995 was $37.

4.  Reinsurance  Hartford Life cedes insurance to non-affiliated insurers in 
order to limit its maximum loss.  Such transfer does not relieve Hartford 
Life of its primary liability.  Hartford Life also assumes insurance from 
other insurers.  Group life and accident and health insurance  business is 
substantially reinsured to affiliated companies.

Life insurance net retained premiums were comprised of the following:

Life reinsurance recoveries, which reduced death and other benefits, for the 
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 approximated $220, $164, and 
$149, respectively. 

In December 1994, Hartford Life assumed from a third party approximately $500 
of corporate owned life insurance reserves on a coinsurance basis.  In 
December 1995, this block of business was reinsured to HLRe utilizing 
modified coinsurance, with the assets and policy liabilities placed in a 
separate account. In October 1994, HLRe recaptured approximately $500 of 
corporate owned life insurance from a third party reinsurer.  Subsequent to 
this transaction, Hartford Life and HLRe restructured their coinsurance 
agreement from coinsurance to modified coinsurance, with the assets and 
policy liabilities placed in the separate account. These transactions did not 
have a material impact on 

<PAGE>
                                     -51-


consolidated net income.

Also in December 1994, ILA ceded to a third party $1.0 billion in individual 
fixed and variable annuities on a modified coinsurance basis. In December 
1995, Hartford Life ceded approximately $1.2 billion in individual varia a 
modified coinsurance basis to a third party. These transactions did not have 
a material impact on consolidated net income.

In May 1994, Hartford Life assumed the life insurance policies and the 
individual annuities of Pacific Standard with reserves and account values of 
approximately $400.  Hartford Life received cash and investment grade assets 
to support the life insurance and individual annuity contract obligations 
assumed.

In November 1993, ILA acquired, through an assumption reinsurance 
transaction, substantially all of the individual fixed and variable annuity  
business of HLA. As a result of this transaction, the assets and liabilities 
of Hartford Life increased approximately $1 billion.  The excess of 
liabilities assumed over assets received, of $2, was recorded as a decrease 
to capital surplus. The remaining $41 in assets and liabilities were 
transferred in October 1995.  The impact on consolidated net income was not 
significant.

In August 1993, Hartford Life received assets of $300 for assuming the group 
COLI contract obligations of Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, through 
an assumption reinsurance transaction.  Under the terms of the agreement, 
Hartford Life coinsured back 75% of the liabilities to Mutual Benefit Life 
Insurance Company.  All assets supporting Mutual Benefit's reinsurance 
liability to Hartford Life are placed in a "security trust," with Hartford 
Life as the sole beneficiary.  The impact on 1993 consolidated net income was 
not significant.

5.  Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits  Hartford Life's 
employees are included in Hartford Fire's noncontributory 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.  Hartford Life'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 Federaloses. Generally, pension costs are funded through the 
purchase of Hartford Life's group pension contracts. The cost to Hartford 
Life was approximately $2, $2, and $3 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Hartford Life provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for 
eligible retired employees. A substantial portion of Hartford Life's 
employees may become eligible for these benefits upon retirement. Hartford 
Life's contribution for health care benefits will depend on the retiree's 
date of retirement and years of service. In addition, the plan has a defined 
dollar cap which limits average company contributions.  Hartford Life 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. Postretirement health care and life insurance benefits expense, 
allocated by Hartford Fire were immaterial for 1995, 1994, and 1993, 
respectively.

The assumed rate of future increases in the per capita cost of health care 
(the health care trend rate) was 10.1% for 1995, decreasing ratably to 6.0% 
in the year 2001.  Increasing the health care trend rates by one percent per 
year would have an immaterial impact on the accumulated postretirement 
benefit obligation and the annual expense. To the extent that the actual 
experience differs from the inherent assumptions, the effect will be 
amortized over the average future service of the covered employees.

7.  Statutory Net Income and Surplus  Substantially all of the statutory 
surplus is permanently reinvested or is subject to dividend restrictions 

<PAGE>

relating to various state regulations which limit the payment of dividends 
without prior approval.  Statutory net income and surplus as of December 31 
were:

                                     1995           1994            1993

Statutory surplus                   $1,125          $941            $812

8.  Separate Accounts  Hartford Life maintains separate account assets and 
liabilities totaling $36.3 billion and $22.8 billion at December 31, 1995 and 
1994, respectively which are reported at fair value.  Separate account assets 
are segregated from other investments and investment income and gains and 
losses accrue directly to the policyholder.  Separate accounts reflect two 
categories of risk assumption: non-guaranteed separate accounts totaling 
$25.9 billion and $14.8 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, 
wherein the policyholder assumes the investment risk, and guaranteed separate 
account assets totaling $10.4 billion and $8.0 billion at December 31, 1995 
and 1994, respectively, wherein Hartford Life contractually guarantees either 
a minimum return or account value to the policyholder.  Included in the 
non-guaranteed category are policy loans totaling $1.7 billion and $0.5 
billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Investment income 
(including investment gains and losses) and interest credited to 
policyholders on separate account assets are not reflected in the 
Consolidated Statements of Income.  Separate account management fees, net of 
minimum guarantees, were $387, $256, and $189, in 1995, 1994, and 1993, 
respectively.

The guaranteed separate accounts include modified guaranteed individual 
annuity, and modified guaranteed life insuage credit interest rate on these 
contracts is 6.62%.  The assets that support these liabilities were comprised 
of $10.4 billion in bonds at December 31, 1995.  The portfolios are 
segregated from other investments and are managed so as to minimize liquidity 
and interest rate risk. In order to minimize the risk of disintermediation 
associated with early withdrawals, individual annuity and modified guaranteed 
life insurance contracts carry a graded surrender charge as well as a market 
value adjustment. Additional investment risk is hedged using a variety of 
derivatives which totaled $133 million in carrying value and $2.7 billion in 
notional amounts at December 31, 1995. 

9.  Commitments and Contingencies  In August, 1994, Hartford Life renewed a 
two year note purchase facility agreement which in certain instances 
obligates Hartford Life to purchase up to $100 million in collateralized 
notes from a third party.  Hartford Life is receiving fees for this 
commitment.  At December 31, 1995, Hartford Life had not purchased any notes 
under this agreement.

Under insurance guaranty fund 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 
Hartford Life under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated.  Most of these 
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. Hartford Life paid guaranty fund assessments of 
approximately $10, $8 and $6 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

Hartford Life is involved in various legal actions, some of which involve 
claims for substantial amounts. In the opinion of management the ultimate 
liability with respect to such lawsuits, as well as other contingencies, is 
not considered material in relation to the consolidated financial position of 
Hartford Life.
