                        HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                        PROSPECTUS IS DATED: MAY 1, 1996
                       REVISED EFFECTIVE: JANUARY 6, 1997
 
This prospectus describes Director 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 21. 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 HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. 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 Funds presently are
Hartford Advisers Fund, Inc., Hartford Bond Fund, Inc., Hartford Capital
Appreciation Fund, Inc., Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Inc., Hartford Index
Fund, Inc., Hartford International Advisers Fund, Inc., Hartford International
Opportunities Fund, Inc., Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc., Hartford
Small Company Fund, Inc., Hartford Stock Fund, Inc., and HVA Money Market Fund,
Inc.
 
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 15.
                       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 eleven (11) 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 HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. After the expiration
of the Right to Cancel Period, the values in HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. will be
allocated to one or more of the Funds as specified in the Contract Owner's
application. See "The Contract -- Allocation of Premiums," page 10.
 
    Currently, the Funds are Hartford Advisers Fund, Inc., Hartford Bond Fund,
Inc., Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc., Hartford Dividend and Growth
Fund, Inc., Hartford Index Fund, Inc., Hartford International Advisers Fund,
Inc., Hartford International Opportunities Fund, Inc., Hartford Mortgage
Securities Fund, Inc., Hartford Small Company Fund, Inc., Hartford Stock Fund,
Inc., and HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. Applicants should read the prospectuses
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 7.
 
    Total fund operating expenses in 1995, including management fees, were .65%
for the Hartford Advisers Fund; .53% for the Hartford Bond Fund; .68% for the
Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund; .77% for the Hartford Dividend and Growth
Fund; .39% for the Hartford Index Fund; .65% for the Hartford International
Advisors Fund; .86% for the Hartford International Opportunities Fund; .47% for
the Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund; .48% for the Hartford Stock Fund; and
 .45% for the HVA Money Market Fund. The Hartford Small Company Fund became
effective on August 9, 1996.
 
    The investment adviser for all the Funds is The Hartford Investment
Management Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance
Company. The Hartford Investment Management Company retains a sub-investment
adviser with respect to some of the Funds. See "The Separate Account," page 7.
                                    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
<PAGE>
6                                                Hartford Life Insurance Company
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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 0.25%. 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 10 and "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Lapse and
Reinstatement," page 15.
 
    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
12.
 
    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 12 and "Federal Tax Considerations," page 21.
 
    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 12.
 
    During the first nine Contract Years, an additional premium tax charge will
be imposed on surrender or partial withdrawals. See "Deductions and Charges --
Premium Tax Charge," page 12.
 
    For a discussion of the tax consequences of surrender of the Contract or a
partial withdrawal, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page 21.
                                 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 12.
                                 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 13.
                                 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 13.
                                     Lapse
 
    Under certain circumstances a Contract may terminate if the Cash Surrender
Value on any Monthly Activity Date is less than the required Monthly Deduction
Amount. Hartford 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 13 and
"Lapse and Reinstatement," page 15.
                        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 15.
                                Tax Consequences
 
    The current Federal tax law generally excludes all death benefit payments
from the gross income of the Contract beneficiary. The Contracts generally will
be treated as modified endowment contracts. This status does not affect the
Contracts' classification as life insurance, nor does it affect the exclusion of
death benefit payments from gross income. However, loans, distributions or other
amounts received under a modified endowment contract are taxed to the extent of
accumulated income in the Contract (generally, the excess of Account Value over
premiums paid) and may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. See "Federal Tax
Considerations," page 21.
                                  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 performance of the Separate Account.
However, the contractual obligations under the Contracts are the general
corporate obligations of Hartford Life. These ratings do not apply to Hartford
Life's ability to meet its insurance obligations 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.
                                     Funds
    The assets of each Sub-Account of the Separate Account are invested
exclusively in one of the Funds. A Contract Owner may allocate premiums among
the Funds. Contract Owners should review the following brief descriptions of the
investment objectives of the Funds in connection with that allocation. There is
no assurance that any of the Funds will achieve its stated objectives. Contract
Owners are also advised to read the prospectuses for the Funds accompanying this
prospectus for more detailed information.
 
 Hartford Advisers Fund, Inc.
 
    The investment objective of the Hartford Advisers Fund, Inc. is to achieve
maximum long term total rate of return consistent with prudent investment risk
by investing in common stock and other equity securities, bonds and other debt
securities, and money market instruments. The investment adviser will vary the
investments of the Fund among equity and debt securities and money market
instruments depending upon its analysis of market trends. Total rate of return
consists of current income, including dividends, interest and discount accruals
and capital appreciation.

    All of the Funds are organized as corporations under the laws of the State
of Maryland and are registered as diversified open-end management companies
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each Fund continually issues an
unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest in the
Fund. Such shares are offered to separate accounts, including the Separate
Account, established by Hartford Life or one of its affiliated companies
specifically to fund the Contracts and other contracts issued by Hartford Life
or its affiliates as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.
 
    It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to
invest in the Funds simultaneously. Although neither Hartford Life nor the Funds
currently foresees any such disadvantages either to variable life insurance or
variable annuity contract owners, the Funds' Board of Directors intends to
monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between variable life
and variable annuity contract owners and to determine what action, if any,
should be taken in response thereto. If the Board of Directors were to conclude
that separate funds should be established for variable life and variable annuity
separate accounts, Hartford Life will bear the attendant expenses.

    All investment income of and other distributions to each Sub-Account of the
Separate Account arising from the applicable Fund are reinvested in shares of
that Fund at net asset value. The income and both realized gains or losses on
the assets of each Sub-Account of the Separate Account are therefore separate
and are credited to or charged against the Sub-Account without regard to income,
gains or losses from any other Sub-Account or from any other business of
Hartford Life. Hartford Life will purchase shares in the Funds in connection
with premiums allocated to the applicable Sub-Account in accordance with
Contract Owners directions and will redeem shares in the Funds to meet Contract
obligations or make adjustments in reserves, if any. The Funds are required to
redeem Fund shares at net asset value and to make payment within seven days.
 
    Hartford Life reserves the right, subject to compliance with the law as then
in effect, to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the
Separate Account and its Sub-Accounts which fund the Contracts. If shares of any
of the Funds should no longer be available for investment, or if, in the
judgment of Hartford Life's management, further investment in shares of any Fund
should become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Contracts, Hartford
Life may substitute shares of another Fund for shares already purchased, or to
be purchased in the future, under the Contracts. No substitution of securities
will take place without notice to and consent of Contract Owners and without
prior approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the extent required
by the Investment Company Act of 1940. Subject to Contract Owner approval,
Hartford Life also reserves the right to end the registration under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 of the Separate Account or any other separate
accounts of which it is the depositor which may fund the Contracts.
 
    Each Fund is subject to investment restrictions which may not be changed
without the approval of a majority of the shareholders of the Fund. See the
accompanying prospectuses for the Funds.
                               Investment Adviser
 
    The investment adviser for the Funds is The Hartford Investment Management
Company ("HIMCO" or the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life.
HIMCO was organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut in October of
1981. HIMCO also serves as investment adviser to several other Hartford
Life-sponsored funds which are also registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Hartford Life is ultimately owned by Hartford Fire Insurance
Company, one of the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United
States. Hartford Fire Insurance Company is a subsidiary of ITT Corporation. The
Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940. The Adviser provides investment advice and supervises the management
and investment program of Hartford Bond Fund, Inc., Hartford Dividend and Growth
Fund, Inc., Hartford Index Fund, Inc., Hartford International Advisers Fund,
Inc., Hartford International Opportunities Fund, Inc., HVA Money Market Fund,
Inc., and Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc., pursuant to an Investment
Advisory Agreement entered into with each of these Funds for which HIMCO
receives a fee. HIMCO also supervises the investment programs of Hartford
Advisers Fund, Inc., Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc., Hartford Small
Company Fund, Inc., and Hartford Stock Fund, Inc., pursuant to an Investment
Management Agreement for which HIMCO receives a fee. In addition, with respect
to these three funds, HIMCO has a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with
Wellington Management Company ("Wellington Management") to provide an investment
program to HIMCO for utilization by HIMCO in rendering services to these funds.
Wellington Management is a professional investment counseling firm which
provides investment services to investment companies, other institutions and
individuals. Wellington Management is organized as a private Massachusetts
partnership and its predecessor organizations have provided investment advisory
services to investment companies since 1933 and to investment counseling clients
since 1960. See the accompanying prospectuses for the Funds for a more complete
description of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and their respective fees.
                                  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
 
    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 HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. After the expiration of the Right
To Cancel Period the Account Value in HVA Money Market Fund, Inc. 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 HVA Money Market Fund, Inc.) 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 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
13.
 
    All valuations in connection with a Contract, e.g., with respect to
determining Account Value and Cash Surrender Value and in connection with
Contract Loans, or calculation of Death Benefits, or with respect to determining
the number of Accumulation Units to be credited to a Contract with each premium,
other than the initial premium, will be made on the date the request or payment
is received by Hartford 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

Hartford Life Insurance Company                                               11
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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 15. 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.
 
    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 12.)
 
    Because the Account Value and, as a result, the Coverage Amount under a
Contract may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may also
vary on each Monthly Activity Date.
 
    Tax Expense Charge: Hartford 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 the Separate Account an administrative charge equal to an
annual rate of 0.25%. 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
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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.
 
    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 14.
                               Premium Tax Charge
 
    During the first nine Contract Years, an additional premium tax charge will
be imposed on surrender or partial withdrawals. The additional premium tax
charge is shown below, as a percent of Account Value, at the end of each
Contract Year:

    After the ninth Contract Year, no additional premium tax charge will be
imposed.
                          Contract Benefits and Rights
                                 Death Benefit
 
    While in force, the Contract provides for the payment of the Death Proceeds
to the named beneficiary when the Insured under the Contract dies. The Death
Proceeds payable to the beneficiary equal the Death Benefit less any loans
outstanding. The Death Benefit equals the greater of (1) the Face Amount or (2)
the Account Value multiplied by a specified percentage. The percentages vary
according to the attained age of the Insured and are specified in the Contract.
Therefore, an increase in Account Value may increase the Death Benefit. However,
because the Death Benefit will never be less than the Face Amount, a decrease in
Account Value may decrease the Death Benefit but never below the Face Amount.

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 16.
                                 Account Value
 
    The Account Value of a Contract will be computed on each Valuation Day. The
Account Value will vary to reflect the investment experience of the Funds, the
value of the Loan Account and the monthly Deduction Amounts. There is no minimum
guaranteed Account Value.
 
    The Account Value of a particular Contract is related to the net asset value
of the Funds to which premiums on the Contract have been allocated. The Account
Value on any Valuation Day is calculated by multiplying the number of
Accumulation Units credited to the Contract in each Sub-Account as of the
Valuation Day by the Accumulation Unit Value of that Sub-Account and then
summing the result for all the Sub-Accounts credited to the Contract and the
value of the Loan Account. See "The Contract -- Accumulation Unit Values," page
10.
                           Transfer of Account Value
 
    While the Contract remains in effect and subject to Hartford 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 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.
 
    It is the responsibility of the Contract Owner to verify the accuracy of all
confirmations of transfers and to promptly advise Hartford Life of any
inaccuracies within one business day of receipt of the confirmation. Hartford
Life will send the Contract Owner a confirmation of the transfer within five (5)
days from the date of any instruction.
 
    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.
 
    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 15.
 
    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 21.
 
    If the Contract Owner chooses to apply the surrender proceeds to a payment
option (see "Other Matters -- Payment Options," page 16), the contingent
deferred sales charge will not be imposed to the surrender proceeds applied to
the option. In other words, the surrender proceeds will equal the Cash Surrender
Value without reduction for the contingent deferred sales charge. However, the
additional premium tax charge, if applicable, will be deducted from the
surrender proceeds to be applied, and amounts withdrawn from Options 1, 5 or 6
will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.
                              Partial Withdrawals
 
    While the Contract is in effect, a Contract Owner may elect, by written
request, to make partial withdrawals from the Cash Surrender Value. The Cash
Surrender Value, after partial withdrawal, must at least equal Hartford 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
21.
                              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
<PAGE>
Hartford Life Insurance Company                                               15
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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 Amounts due. The notice will indicate the amount that must
be paid.
 
    The Contract will continue through the Grace Period, but if no additional
premium payment is made, it will terminate at the end of the Grace Period. If
the person insured under the Contract dies during the Grace Period, the Death
Proceeds payable under the Contract will be reduced by the Deduction Amount(s)
due and unpaid. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Death Benefit," page 12.
 
    If the Contract lapses, the Contract Owner may apply for reinstatement of
the Contract by payment of the reinstatement premium (and any applicable
charges) shown in the Contract. A request for reinstatement may be made within
five years of lapse. If a loan was outstanding at the time of lapse, Hartford
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.
                        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 25.
 
    2.  To qualify for simplified underwriting under a last survivor Contract,
        both Insureds must meet the simplified underwriting standards.
 
    3.  For a last survivor Contract to be reinstated, both Insureds must be
        alive on the date of reinstatement.
 
    4.  The Contract provisions regarding misstatement of age or sex, suicide
        and incontestability apply to either Insured.
 
    5.  Additional tax disclosures applicable to last survivor Contracts are
        provided in "Federal Tax Considerations," page 21.

                                 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 13) 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 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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    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. 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 1983(a)
Individual Annuity Mortality Table with ages set back one year and with an
assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 5% per annum. The total first monthly
variable annuity payment is determined by multiplying the proceeds value
(expressed in thousands of dollars) of a Sub-Account by the amount of the first
monthly payment per $1,000 of value obtained from the tables in the Contracts.
 
    The amount of the first monthly variable annuity payment is divided by the
value of an annuity unit (an accounting unit of measure used to calculate the
value of annuity payments) for the appropriate Sub-Account no earlier than the
close of business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the day on which the
payment is due in order to determine the number of annuity units represented by
the first payment. This number of annuity units remains fixed during the annuity
payment period, and in each subsequent month the dollar amount of the variable
annuity payment is determined by multiplying this fixed number of annuity units
by the current annuity unit value.

    LEVEL VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS WOULD BE PRODUCED IF THE INVESTMENT RATE
REMAINED CONSTANT AND EQUAL TO THE A.I.R. IN FACT, PAYMENTS WILL VARY UP OR DOWN
AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN RELATIVE TO THE A.I.R.
 
    Fixed Annuity: Fixed annuity payments are determined by multiplying the
amount applied to the annuity by a rate to be determined by Hartford 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
13). 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.
 
    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 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.

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 polices 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 0.60% 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 0.60% average daily charge) of -0.60%, 5.40% and
11.40%, 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 0.25% 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 12).
 
    The "Premium Paid Plus Interest" column of each table shows the amount which
would accumulate if the initial premium was invested to earn interest, after
taxes of 5% per year, compounded annually.
 
    Hartford 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.

 SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    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  invests
    deposits  by variable life contractholders of  the Company in various mutual
    funds (the Funds) as directed by the contractholders. The Account  commenced
    operations on January 10, 1995.
 
 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 are 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 principles requires management to make
       estimates  and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
       liabilities as of the date of  the financial statements and the  reported
       amounts  of income and  expenses during the  period. Operating results in
       the  future  could  vary  from  the  amounts  derived  from  management's
       estimates.
 
 3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
 
    In  accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes deductions
    for mortality and  expense undertakings, cost  of insurance,  administrative
    fees,   and  state  premium  taxes.   These  charges  are  deducted  through
    termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners' accounts.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE AND TO THE
 OWNERS OF UNITS OF INTEREST THEREIN:
 
 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets & liabilities of  Hartford
 Life  Insurance Company Separate Account Five  (the Account) as of December 31,
 1995, and the related statement of operations and 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 audit.
 
 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  misstatement. An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
 supporting the amounts and  disclosures in the  financial statements. An  audit
 also   includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant
 estimates made  by management,  as  well as  evaluating the  overall  financial
 statement  presentation. We believe that our  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 Separate  Account Five  as of  December 31,  1995, the  results of  its
 operations and changes in its net assets for the period from inception, January
 10,  1995,  to  December  31,  1995,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
 accounting principles.

                       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
audit provides 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)



1.  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 or permitted by various 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 where the payment 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.

                                         F-6

(D)  FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS AND OTHER POLICYHOLDER 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 value with
the after-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. 

(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. Derivatives used to 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 capital contributions.  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) DIVIDEND 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 outstanding at December 31, 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

                                         F-11

<PAGE>

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 Benefit
Life Assurance 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

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

The following methods and assumptions were 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.

Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1984, the Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act
of 1959 permitted the deferral from taxation of a portion of statutory income
under certain circumstances.  In these situations, the deferred income was
accumulated 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 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 variable annuities
on 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 Federal income tax purposes. 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.

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.

                                         F-16

<PAGE>


  The guaranteed separate accounts include modified guaranteed individual 
  annuity, and modified guaranteed life insurance.  The average 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.
