- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Prospectus describes Director Life, a modified single premium variable life
insurance contract ("Policy" or "Policies") offered by Hartford Life Insurance
Company ("Hartford") to applicants age 90 and under. The Policy lets the Policy
Owner pay a single premium and, subject to restrictions, additional premiums.
The Policy is a modified endowment contract for federal income tax purposes,
except in certain cases described under "Federal Tax Considerations," page 22. A
LOAN, DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT
DURING THE LIFE OF THE INSURED WILL BE TAXED TO THE EXTENT OF ANY ACCUMULATED
INCOME IN THE CONTRACT. ANY AMOUNTS THAT ARE TAXABLE WITHDRAWALS WILL BE SUBJECT
TO A 10% ADDITIONAL TAX, WITH CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS.
Generally, the minimum initial premium Hartford will accept is $10,000. The
initial premium will be allocated to Hartford Money Market Fund. After the right
to cancel period has expired, the amount so allocated will be transferred to the
Funds specified in the Policy Owner's application.
The following Sub-Accounts are available under the Policies. Opposite each
Sub-Account is the name of the underlying investment for that Sub-Account.

</TABLE>
There is no guaranteed minimum Account Value for a Policy. The Account Value of
a Policy will vary up or down to reflect the investment experience of the Funds
to which premiums have been allocated. The Policy Owner bears the investment
risk for all amounts so allocated. The Policy continues in effect while the Cash
Surrender Value is sufficient to pay the monthly charges under the Policy
("Deduction Amount"). The Policy 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 Policies provide for a Face Amount, which is the minimum death benefit under
the Policy. The Death Benefit may be greater than the Face Amount. The Account
Value will, and under certain circumstances the Death Benefit of the Policy may,
increase or decrease based on the investment experience of the Funds to which
premiums have been allocated. However, while the Policy is in force, the Death
Benefit will never be less than the Face Amount. At the death of the Insured,
Hartford will pay the Death Proceeds to the beneficiary. The Death Proceeds
equal the Death Benefit less any Indebtedness under the Policy.

SUMMARY
THE POLICY
The Policies are life insurance contracts with death benefits, cash values
and other traditional life insurance features. The Policies 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 Policies are
credited with units ("Accumulation Units") to calculate cash values. The Policy
Owner may transfer the cash values among the Funds.
The Policies can be issued on a single life or "last survivor" basis. For a
discussion of how last survivor Policies operate differently from single life
Policies, see "Last Survivor Policies," page 15.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE FUNDS
Separate Account Five ("Separate Account") funds the variable life insurance
Policies offered by this Prospectus. Hartford established the Separate Account
pursuant to Connecticut insurance law and organized as a unit investment trust
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Policies currently
offer 12 sub-accounts ("Sub-Accounts"), each investing exclusively in a Fund. If
an initial premium is submitted with an application for a Policy, it will be
allocated, within three business days of receipt at Hartford's Home Office, to
Hartford Money Market Fund. After the expiration of the right to cancel period,
the values in Hartford Money Market Fund will be allocated to one or more of the
Funds as specified in the Policy Owner's application. See "The Policy --
Allocation of Premiums," page 10.
Currently, the Funds are Hartford Advisers Fund, Hartford Bond Fund,
Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Hartford
Index Fund, Hartford International Advisers Fund, Hartford International
Opportunities Fund, Hartford MidCap Fund, Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund,
Hartford Small Company Fund, Hartford Stock Fund, and Hartford Money Market
Fund. Applicants should read the Funds prospectus accompanying this Prospectus
in connection with the purchase of a Policy. The investment objectives of the
Funds are as set forth in "The Separate Account," page 7.

(1) Management Fees generally represent the fees paid to the investment adviser
or its affiliates for investment and administrative services provided. Other
Expenses are expenses (other than Management Fees) which are deducted from
the fund including legal, accounting and custodian fees. For a complete
description of the nature of the services provided in consideration of the
operating expenses deducted, please see the Fund prospectus.
(2) Hartford MidCap Fund is a new Fund. Operating expenses are based on
annualized estimates of such expenses to be incurred in the current fiscal
year.
The investment manager for all the Funds is HL Investment Advisors, Inc., an
affiliate of Hartford. HL Investment Advisors, Inc. retains a sub-investment
adviser with respect to some of the Funds, and has entered into an investment
services agreement with respect to some of the Funds. See "The Separate
Account," page 7.
PREMIUMS
The Policy permits the Policy Owner to pay a large single premium and,
subject to restrictions, additional premiums. The Policy 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 Policy 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
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
guidelines. Additional premiums are allowed if they do not cause the Policy to
fail to meet the definition of a life insurance contract under Section 7702 of
the Code. Hartford may require evidence of insurability for any additional
premiums which increase the Coverage Amount. Generally, the minimum initial
premium Hartford will accept is $10,000. Hartford may accept less than $10,000
under certain circumstances. No premium will be accepted which does not meet the
tax qualification guidelines for life insurance under the Code.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
On the Policy Date and on each Monthly Activity Date, Hartford will deduct a
Deduction Amount from the Account Value. The Deduction Amount will be made pro
rata respecting each Sub-Account attributable to the Policy. The Deduction
Amount includes a cost of insurance charge, tax expense charge, administrative
charge and a mortality and expense risk charge. The monthly cost of insurance
charge is to cover Hartford's anticipated mortality costs. In addition, Hartford
will deduct monthly from the Account Value a tax expense charge equal to an
annual rate of 0.40% for the first ten Policy Years. This charge compensates
Hartford for premium taxes imposed by various states and local jurisdictions and
for the cost of capitalization of certain policy acquisition expenses under
Section 848 of the Code. The tax expense charge includes a premium tax deduction
of 0.25% and Section 848 costs of 0.15%. The premium tax deduction represents an
average premium tax of 2.5% of premiums over ten years. Hartford will deduct
from the Account Value attributable to the Separate Account a monthly
administrative charge equal to an annual rate of 0.25%. This charge compensates
Hartford for administrative expenses incurred in the administration of the
Separate Account and the Policies. Hartford will also deduct from the Account
Value attributable to the Separate Account a monthly charge equal to an annual
rate of 0.90% for the mortality risks and expense risks Hartford assumes in
relation to the variable portion of the Policies. If the Cash Surrender Value is
not sufficient to cover a Deduction Amount due on any Monthly Activity Date the
Policy may lapse. See "Deductions and Charges -- Monthly Deductions," page 10,
and "Policy Benefits and Rights -- Lapse and Reinstatement," page 14.
If the Account Value on a Policy Anniversary is less than $50,000, Hartford
will deduct on such date an annual maintenance fee of $30. This fee will help
reimburse Hartford for administrative and maintenance costs of the Policies. See
"Deductions and Charges -- Annual Maintenance Fee," page 11.
Hartford may set up a provision for income taxes against the assets of the
Separate Account. See "Deductions and Charges -- Taxes Charged Against the
Separate Account," page 11, and "Federal Tax Considerations," page 22.
Applicants should review the Funds' prospectus accompanying this Prospectus
for a description of the charges assessed against the assets of the Funds.
Upon surrender of the Policy and partial withdrawals in excess of the Annual
Withdrawal Amount, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed. In Policy
Years 1 through 3, this charge is 7.5% of surrendered Account Value attributable
to premiums paid. In Policy Years 4 through 5, this charge is 6%. In Policy
Years 6 through 7, this charge is 4%. In Policy Years 8 through 9, this charge
is 2%. After the ninth Policy Year, there is no charge. The contingent deferred
sales charge is imposed to cover a portion of the sales expense incurred by
Hartford in distributing the Policies. This expense includes agents commissions,
advertising and the printing of prospectuses. See "Deductions and Charges --
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge," page 11.
During the first nine Policy 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 Policy or a
partial withdrawal, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page 22.
DEATH BENEFIT
The Policies provide for a Face Amount which is the minimum Death Benefit
under the Policy. The Death Benefit may be greater than the Face Amount. At the
death of the Insured, Hartford will pay the Death Proceeds to the beneficiary.
The Death Proceeds equal the Death Benefit less any Indebtedness under the
Policy. See "Policy Benefits and Rights -- Death Benefit," page 12.
ACCOUNT VALUE
The Account Value of the Policy will increase or decrease to reflect the
investment experience of the Funds applicable to the Policy and deductions for
the monthly Deduction Amount. There is no minimum guaranteed Account Value and
the Policy Owner bears the risk of the investment in the Funds. See "Policy
Benefits and Rights -- Account Value," page 12.
POLICY LOANS
A Policy Owner may obtain one or both of two types of cash loans from
Hartford. Both types of loans are secured by the Policy. At the time a loan is
requested, the aggregate amount of all loans (including the currently applied
for loan) may not exceed 90% of Cash Value. See "Policy Benefits and Rights --
Policy Loans," page 13.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 7
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAPSE
Under certain circumstances a Policy may terminate if the Cash Surrender
Value on any Monthly Activity Date is less than the required Monthly Deduction
Amount. Hartford will give written notice to the Policy Owner and a 61-day grace
period during which additional amounts may be paid to continue the Policy. See
"Policy Benefits and Rights -- Policy Loans," page 13 and "Policy Benefits and
Rights -- Lapse and Reinstatement," page 14.
CANCELLATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
An applicant has a limited right to return his or her Policy for
cancellation. If the applicant returns the Policy, by mail or hand delivery, to
Hartford or to the agent who sold the Policy, to be cancelled within ten days
after receipt of the Policy to the applicant (in certain cases, this free-look
period is longer), Hartford will return to the applicant, within seven days
thereafter, the greater of the premiums paid for the Policy or the sum of (1)
the Account Value on the date the returned Policy is received by Hartford or its
agent and (2) any deductions under the Policy or by the Funds for taxes, charges
or fees.
In addition, once the Policy 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 "Policy
Benefits and Rights -- Cancellation and Exchange Rights," page 14.
TAX CONSEQUENCES
The current federal tax law generally excludes all death benefit payments
from the gross income of the Policy beneficiary. The Policies generally will be
treated as modified endowment contracts. This status does not affect the
Policies' 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 Policy (generally, the excess of Account Value over
premiums paid) and may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. See "Federal Tax
Considerations," page 22.

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 or one of its affiliated companies specifically
to fund the Policies and other contracts issued by Hartford 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 nor the Funds
currently foresee 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 will bear the attendant expenses.
All investment income of, and other distributions to, each Sub-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 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. Hartford will purchase shares in the
Funds in connection with premiums allocated to the applicable Sub-Account in
accordance with Policy Owners' directions and will redeem shares in the Funds to
meet Policy 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 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 Policies. If shares of any of the
Funds should no longer be available for investment, or if, in

ADVISABILITY OF INVESTING IN THE INDEX FUND.

the judgment of Hartford's management, further investment in shares of any Fund
should become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Policies, Hartford
may substitute shares of another Fund for shares already purchased, or to be
purchased in the future, under the Policies. No substitution of securities will
take place without notice to and consent of Policy Owners and without prior
approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the extent required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Subject to Policy Owner approval, Hartford 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 and which may fund the Policies.
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
Funds' prospectus accompanying this Prospectus.
INVESTMENT ADVISER
All of the Funds are sponsored by Hartford and are incorporated under the
laws of the State of Maryland. HL Investment Advisors, Inc. ("HL Advisors")
serves as the investment manager to each of the Hartford Funds.
Wellington Management Company, LLP ("Wellington Management") serves as
sub-investment adviser for Hartford Advisers Fund, Hartford Capital Appreciation
Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Hartford International Advisers Fund,
Hartford International Opportunities Fund, Hartford MidCap Fund, Hartford Small
Company Fund, and Hartford Stock Fund.
In addition, HL Advisors has entered an investment services agreement with
Hartford Investment Management Company, ("HIMCO"), pursuant to which HIMCO will
provide certain investment services to Hartford Bond Fund, Hartford Index Fund,
Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund, and Hartford Money Market Fund.
A full description of the Funds, their investment policies and restrictions,
risks, charges and expenses and all other aspects of their operation is
contained in the accompanying Funds' prospectuses which should be read in
conjunction with this Prospectus before investing and in the Funds' Statement of
Additional Information which may be ordered from Hartford. The Funds may not be
available in all states.
THE POLICY
APPLICATION FOR A POLICY
Individuals wishing to purchase a Policy must submit an application to
Hartford. A Policy will be issued only on the lives of Insureds age 90 and under
who supply evidence of insurability satisfactory to Hartford. Acceptance is
subject to Hartford's underwriting rules and Hartford reserves the right to
reject an application for any reason. IF AN APPLICATION FOR A POLICY IS
REJECTED, THEN YOUR INITIAL PREMIUM WILL BE RETURNED ALONG WITH AN ADDITIONAL
AMOUNT FOR INTEREST, BASED ON THE CURRENT RATE BEING CREDITED BY HARTFORD. No
change in the terms or conditions of a Policy will be made without the consent
of the Policy Owner.
The Policy will be effective on the Policy Date only after Hartford has
received all outstanding delivery requirements and received the initial premium.
The Policy Date is the date used to determine all future cyclical transactions
on the Policy, e.g., Monthly Activity Date, Policy Months and Policy Years. The
Policy Date may be prior to, or the same as, the date the Policy is issued
("Issue Date").
If the Coverage Amount is over then current limits established by Hartford,
the initial payment will not be accepted with the application. In other cases
where Hartford receives the initial payment with the application, Hartford will
provide fixed conditional insurance during underwriting according to the terms
of a conditional receipt. The fixed conditional insurance will be the insurance
applied for, up to a maximum that varies by age. If no fixed conditional
insurance was in effect, on Policy delivery Hartford will require a sufficient
payment to place the insurance in force.
PREMIUMS
The Policy permits the Policy Owner to pay a large single premium and,
subject to restrictions, additional premiums. The Policy 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 Policy 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 Policy to
fail to meet the definition of a life insurance contract under Section 7702 of
the Code. Hartford may require evidence of insurability for any additional
premiums which increase the Coverage Amount. Generally, the minimum initial
premium Hartford will accept is $10,000. Hartford may accept less than $10,000
under certain circumstances. No
<PAGE>
10 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
premium will be accepted which does not meet the tax qualification guidelines
for life insurance under the Code.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
Within three business days of receipt of a completed application and the
initial premium at Hartford's Home Office, Hartford will allocate the entire
premium to Hartford Money Market Fund. After the expiration of the right to
cancel period the Account Value in Hartford Money Market Fund will be allocated
among the Funds in whole percentages to purchase Accumulation Units in the
applicable Sub-Accounts as the Policy 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 Policy 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 Policy (including the initial allocation to
Hartford Money Market Fund) 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 Funds
prospectus accompanying this Prospectus for a description of how the assets of
each Fund are valued since such determination has a direct bearing on the
Accumulation Unit Value of the Sub-Account and therefore the Account Value of a
Policy. See, also, "Policy Benefits and Rights -- Account Value," page 12.
All valuations in connection with a Policy, e.g., with respect to
determining Account Value and Cash Surrender Value and in connection with Policy
Loans, or calculation of Death Benefits, or with respect to determining the
number of Accumulation Units to be credited to a Policy with each premium, other
than the initial premium, will be made on the date the request or payment is
received by Hartford at its Home Office if such date is a Valuation Day;
otherwise such determination will be made on the next succeeding date which is a
Valuation Day.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS
On the Policy Date, and on each Monthly Activity Date after the Policy Date,
Hartford will deduct an amount ("Deduction Amount") to cover charges and
expenses incurred in connection with a Policy. Each monthly Deduction Amount
will be deducted pro rata from each Sub-Account attributable to the Policy such
that the proportion of Account Value of the Policy attributable to each Sub-
Account remains the same before and after the deduction. The Deduction Amount
will vary from month to month. If the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to
cover a Deduction Amount due on any Monthly Activity Date, the Policy may lapse.
See "Policy Benefits and Rights -- Lapse and Reinstatement," page 14. The
following is a summary of the monthly deductions and charges which constitute
the Deduction Amount:
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE: The cost of insurance charge covers Hartford's
anticipated mortality costs for standard and substandard risks. Current cost of
insurance rates are lower after the tenth Policy 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 Policy 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 Policy; however, Hartford reserves the right to use rates less
than those shown in the table. Substandard risks will be charged at a higher
cost of insurance rate that will not exceed rates based on a multiple of the
1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, age last birthday. The
multiple will be based on the insured's substandard rating.
The Coverage Amount is first set on the Policy 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 Policies 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
Policy determined on each Monthly Activity
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 11
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Policy Month is $75,000. (For an explanation of the Death Benefit, see "Policy
Benefits and Rights -- Death Benefit," page 12.
Because the Account Value and, as a result, the Coverage Amount under a
Policy may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may also vary
on each Monthly Activity Date.
TAX EXPENSE CHARGE: Hartford will deduct monthly from the Account Value a
tax expense charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% for the first ten Policy
Years. This charge compensates Hartford for premium taxes imposed by various
states and local jurisdictions and for the cost of capitalization of certain
policy acquisition expenses under Section 848 of the Code. The charge includes a
premium tax deduction of 0.25% and Section 848 costs of 0.15%. The 0.25% premium
tax deduction over ten Policy Years approximates Hartford's average expenses for
state and local premium taxes (2.5%). Premium taxes vary, ranging from zero to
more than 4.0%. The premium tax deduction is made whether or not any premium tax
applies. The deduction may be higher or lower than the premium tax imposed.
However, Hartford does not expect to make a profit from this deduction. The
0.15% charge helps reimburse Hartford for approximate expenses incurred from
federal taxes under Section 848 of the Code.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: Hartford will deduct monthly from the Account Value
attributable to the Separate Account an administrative charge equal to an annual
rate of 0.25%. This charge compensates Hartford for administrative expenses
incurred in the administration of the Separate Account and the Policies.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: Hartford will deduct monthly from the
Account Value attributable to the Separate Account a charge equal to an annual
rate of 0.90% for the mortality risks and expense risks Hartford assumes in
relation to the variable portion of the Policies. The mortality risk assumed is
that the cost of insurance charges specified in the Policy will be insufficient
to meet claims. Hartford also assumes a risk that the Face Amount (the minimum
Death Benefit) will exceed the Coverage Amount on the date of death plus the
Account Value on the date Hartford receives written notice of death. The expense
risk assumed is that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Policies
will exceed the administrative charges set in the Policy. Hartford may profit
from the mortality and expense risk charge and may use any profits for any
proper purpose, including any difference between the cost it incurs in
distributing the Policies and the proceeds of the contingent deferred sales
charge. The mortality and expense risk charge is deducted while the Policy is in
force, including the duration of a payment option.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE
If the Account Value on a Policy Anniversary is less than $50,000, Hartford
will deduct on such date an annual maintenance fee of $30. This fee will help
reimburse Hartford for administrative and maintenance costs of the Policies. The
sum of the monthly administrative charges and the annual maintenance fee will
not exceed the cost Hartford incurs in providing administrative services under
the Policies.
TAXES CHARGED AGAINST
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Currently, no charge is made to the Separate Account for federal income
taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account. Hartford may, however,
make such a charge in the future. Charges for other taxes, if any, attributable
to the Separate Account may also be made.
CHARGES AGAINST THE FUNDS
The Separate Account purchases shares of the Funds at net asset value. The
net asset value of the Fund shares reflects investment advisory fees and
administrative expenses already deducted from the assets of the Funds. These
charges are described in the Funds' prospectus accompanying this Prospectus.
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
Upon surrender of the Policy and partial withdrawals in excess of the Annual
Withdrawal Amount, a contingent
<PAGE>
12 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
deferred sales charge may be assessed. In Policy Years 1 through 3, this charge
is 7.5% of surrendered Account Value attributable to premiums paid. In Policy
Years 4 through 5, this charge is 6%. In Policy Years 6 through 7, this charge
is 4%. In Policy Years 8 through 9, this charge is 2%. After the ninth Policy
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 Policy Years will be deemed first from premiums paid and then from
earnings. If an amount equal to all premiums paid has been withdrawn, no charge
will be assessed on a withdrawal of the remaining Account Value.
The contingent deferred sales charge is imposed to cover a portion of the
sales expense incurred by Hartford in distributing the Policies. This expense
includes agents commissions, advertising and the printing of prospectuses.
See "Policy Benefits and Rights -- Amount Payable on Surrender of the
Policy," page 14.
PREMIUM TAX CHARGE
During the first nine Policy Years, an additional premium tax charge will be
imposed on surrender or partial withdrawals. The additional premium tax charge
is shown below, as a percentage of Account Value, at the end of each Policy
Year:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
After the ninth Policy Year, no additional premium tax charge will be
imposed.
POLICY BENEFITS AND RIGHTS
DEATH BENEFIT
While in force, the Policy provides for the payment of the Death Proceeds to
the named beneficiary when the Insured under the Policy 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 Policy. 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.
EXAMPLES:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
A B
---------- ----------
<S> <C> <C>
Face Amount:........................... $ 100,000 $ 100,000
Insured's Age:......................... 40 40
Account Value on Date of Death:........ 46,500 34,000
Specified Percentage................... 250% 250%
</TABLE>
In Example A, the Death Benefit equals $116,250, i.e., the greater of
$100,000 (the Face Amount) or $116,250 (the Account Value at the Date of Death
of $46,500, multiplied by the specified percentage of 250%). This amount less
any outstanding loans constitutes the Death Proceeds which Hartford would pay to
the beneficiary.
In Example B, the death benefit is $100,000, i.e., the greater of $100,000
(the Face Amount) or $85,000 (the Account Value of $34,000, multiplied by the
specified percentage of 250%).
All or part of the Death Proceeds may be paid in cash or applied under a
"Payment Option." See "Other Matters -- Payment Options," page 16.
ACCOUNT VALUE
The Account Value of a Policy 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 Policy is related to the net asset value
of the Funds to which premiums on the Policy have been allocated. The Account
Value on any Valuation Day is calculated by multiplying the number of
Accumulation Units credited to the Policy 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 Policy and the value
of the Loan Account. See "The Policy -- Accumulation Unit Values," page 10.
TRANSFER OF ACCOUNT VALUE
While the Policy remains in effect, and subject to Hartford's transfer rules
then in effect, the Policy Owner may request that part or all of the Account
Value of a particular Sub-Account be transferred to other Sub-Accounts. Hartford
reserves the right to restrict the number of such
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
transfers to no more than 12 per Policy Year, with no two transfers being made
on consecutive Valuation Days. However, there are no restrictions on the number
of transfers at the present time. Transfers may be made by written request or by
calling toll free 1-800-231-5453. Transfers by telephone may be made by the
agent of record or by the attorney-in-fact pursuant to a power of attorney.
Telephone transfers may not be permitted in some states. The policy of Hartford
and its agents and affiliates is that they will not be responsible for losses
resulting from acting upon telephone requests reasonably believed to be genuine.
Hartford will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine; otherwise, Hartford may be liable for any
losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. The procedures Hartford
follows for transactions initiated by telephone include requirements that
callers provide certain information for identification purposes. All transfer
instructions by telephone are tape recorded.
It is the responsibility of the Policy Owner to verify the accuracy of all
confirmations of transfers and to promptly advise Hartford of any inaccuracies
within 30 days of receipt of the confirmation. Hartford will send the Policy
Owner a confirmation of the transfer within five days from the date of any
instruction.
Hartford may modify the right to reallocate Account Value among the
Sub-Accounts if Hartford determines, in its sole discretion, that the exercise
of that right by one or more Policy Owners is, or would be, to the disadvantage
of other Policy 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 Policy Owner, or limiting the dollar amount that may be
transferred among the Sub-Accounts at one time. These restrictions may be
applied in any manner reasonably designed to prevent any use of the transfer
right that Hartford considers to be disadvantageous to other Policy Owners.
As a result of a transfer, the number of Accumulation Units credited to the
Sub-Account from which the transfer is made will be reduced by the number
obtained by dividing the amount transferred by the Accumulation Unit Value of
that Sub-Account on the Valuation Day Hartford receives the transfer request.
The number of Accumulation Units credited to the Sub-Account to which the
transfer is made will be increased by the number obtained by dividing the amount
transferred by the Accumulation Unit Value of that Sub-Account on the Valuation
Day Hartford receives the transfer request.
POLICY LOANS
While the Policy is in effect, a Policy Owner may obtain, without the
consent of the beneficiary (provided the designation of beneficiary is not
irrevocable), one or both of two types of cash loans from Hartford. Both types
of loans are secured by the Policy. The aggregate loans (including the currently
applied for loan) may not exceed, at the time a loan is requested, 90% of the
Cash Value.
The loan amount will be transferred pro rata from each Sub-Account
attributable to the Policy (unless the Policy Owner specifies otherwise) to the
Loan Account. The amounts allocated to the Loan Account will earn interest at a
rate of 4% per annum (6% for "Preferred Loans"). The amount of the Loan Account
that equals the difference between the Cash Value and the total of all premiums
paid under the Policy is considered a "Preferred Loan." For exchanges which take
place according to IRC Section 1035(a) that have an outstanding loan at the time
of transfer, the difference between the Account Value and the total of all
premiums paid under the Policy is considered a Preferred Loan. The loan interest
rate that Hartford will charge on all loans is 6% per annum. The difference
between the value of the Loan Account and the Indebtedness will be transferred
on a pro-rata basis from the Sub-Accounts to the Loan Account on each Monthly
Activity Date. The proceeds of a loan will be delivered to the Policy Owner
within seven business days of Hartford's receipt of the loan request.
If the aggregate outstanding loan(s) secured by the Policy exceeds the
Account Value of the Policy less any contingent deferred sales charges and due
and unpaid Deduction Amount, Hartford will give written notice to the Policy
Owner that, unless Hartford receives an additional payment within 61 days to
reduce the aggregate outstanding loan(s) secured by the Policy, the Policy may
lapse.
All or any part of any loan secured by a Policy may be repaid while the
Policy 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 Policy 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 Policy
will be reinstated. See "Policy Benefits and Rights -- Lapse and Reinstatement,"
page 14.
A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Account
Value because the investment results of each Sub-Account will apply only to the
amount remaining in such Sub-Accounts. The longer a loan is outstanding, the
greater the effect is likely to be. The effect could be favorable or
unfavorable. If the Sub-Accounts earn more than the annual interest rate for
amounts held in the Loan Account, a Policy Owner's Account Value will not
<PAGE>
14 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
increase as rapidly as it would have had no loan been made. If the Sub-Accounts
earn less than the annual interest rate for amounts held in the Loan Account,
the Policy 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 POLICY
While the Policy is in effect, a Policy Owner may elect, without the consent
of the beneficiary (provided the designation of beneficiary is not irrevocable),
to fully surrender the Policy. Upon surrender, the Policy Owner will receive the
Cash Surrender Value determined as of the day Hartford receives the Policy
Owner's written request or the date requested by the Policy Owner whichever is
later. The Cash Surrender Value equals the Account Value less any contingent
deferred sales charges and additional premium tax charge and all Indebtedness.
Hartford will pay the Cash Surrender Value of the Policy within seven days of
receipt by Hartford of the written request or on the effective surrender date
requested by the Policy Owner, whichever is later. The Policy will terminate on
the date of receipt of the written request, or the date the Policy Owner
requests the surrender to be effective, whichever is later. For a discussion of
the tax consequences of surrendering the Policy, see "Federal Tax
Considerations," page 22.
If the Policy Owner chooses to apply the surrender proceeds to a payment
option (see "Other Matters -- Payment Options," page 16), the contingent
deferred sales charge will not be imposed to the surrender proceeds applied to
the option. In other words, the surrender proceeds will equal the Cash Surrender
Value without reduction for the contingent deferred sales charge. However, the
additional premium tax charge, if applicable, will be deducted from the
surrender proceeds to be applied, and amounts withdrawn from Option 1, Option 5
or Option 6 will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge, if
applicable.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
While the Policy is in effect, a Policy Owner may elect, by written request,
to make partial withdrawals from the Cash Surrender Value. The Cash Surrender
Value, after partial withdrawal, must at least equal Hartford's minimum amount
rules then in effect; otherwise, the request will be treated as a request for
full surrender. The partial withdrawal will be deducted pro rata from each
Sub-Account, unless the Policy Owner instructs otherwise. The Face Amount will
be reduced proportionate to the reduction in the Account Value due to the
partial withdrawal. Partial withdrawals in excess of the Annual Withdrawal
Amount will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge and any
additional premium tax charges. See "Deductions and Charges -- Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge," page 11, and "Deductions and Charges -- Premium Tax
Charge," page 12. For a discussion of the tax consequences of partial
withdrawals, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page 22.

If the Insured is living on the "Maturity Date" (the anniversary of the
Policy Date on which the Insured is age 100), on surrender of the Policy to
Hartford, Hartford will pay to the Policy Owner the Cash Surrender Value. In
such case, the Policy will terminate and Hartford will have no further
obligations under the Policy. (The Maturity Date may be extended by rider where
approved, but see "Federal Tax Considerations -- Income Taxation of Policy
Benefits," page 22.)
LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
The Policy will remain in effect until the Cash Surrender Value is
insufficient to cover a Deduction Amount due on a Monthly Activity Date.
Hartford will notify the Policy 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 Policy 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 Policy dies during the Grace Period, the Death
Proceeds payable under the Policy will be reduced by the Deduction Amount(s) due
and unpaid. See "Policy Benefits and Rights -- Death Benefit," page 12.
If the Policy lapses, the Policy Owner may apply for reinstatement of the
Policy by payment of the reinstatement premium (and any applicable charges)
shown in the Policy. A request for reinstatement may be made within five years
of lapse. If a loan was outstanding at the time of lapse, Hartford will require
repayment of the loan before permitting reinstatement. In addition, Hartford
reserves the right to require evidence of insurability satisfactory to Hartford.
CANCELLATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
An applicant has a limited right to return a Policy for cancellation. If the
Policy is returned, by mail or personal delivery to Hartford or to the agent who
sold the Policy, to be canceled within ten days after receipt of the Policy to
the Policy Owner (a longer free-look period is provided in certain cases),
Hartford will return to the applicant, within seven days, the greater of
premiums paid for the Policy or the sum of (1) the Account Value on the date the
returned Policy is received by Hartford or its agent and (2) any deductions
under Policy or by the Funds for taxes, charges or fees.
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the Policy is in effect, it may be exchanged, during the first 24
months after its issuance, for a non-variable flexible premium adjustable life
insurance contract offered by Hartford (or an affiliated company) on the life of
the Insured. No evidence of insurability will be required. The new contract will
have, at the election of the Policy Owner, either the same Coverage Amount as
under the exchanged Policy 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 Policy. If a Policy loan was outstanding, the entire loan must be
repaid. There may be a cash adjustment required on the exchange.
SUSPENSION OF VALUATION,
PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
Hartford will suspend all procedures requiring valuation (including
transfers, surrenders and loans) on any day a national stock exchange is closed
or trading is restricted due to an existing emergency, as defined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or on any day the Securities and Exchange
Commission has ordered that the right of surrender of the Policies be suspended
for the protection of Policy Owners, until such condition has ended.
LAST SURVIVOR POLICIES
The Policies are offered on both a single life and a "last survivor" basis.
Policies 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 Policies 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. See the last survivor illustrations in "Appendix B,"
page 28.
2. To qualify for simplified underwriting under a last survivor Policy, both
Insureds must meet the simplified underwriting standards.
3. For a last survivor Policy to be reinstated, both Insureds must be alive on
the date of reinstatement.
4. The Policy provisions regarding misstatement of age or sex, suicide and
incontestability apply to either Insured.
5. Additional tax disclosures applicable to last survivor Policies are provided
in "Federal Tax Considerations," page 22.
OTHER MATTERS
VOTING RIGHTS
In accordance with its interpretation of presently applicable law, Hartford
will vote the shares of the Funds at regular and special meetings of the
shareholders of the Funds in accordance with instructions from Policy Owners (or
the assignee of the Policy, 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 Policy Owner is determined by dividing the Policy Owner's
interest in each Sub-Account by the net asset value of the applicable shares of
the Funds. Hartford will vote shares for which no instructions have been given
and shares which are not attributable to Policy Owners (i.e., shares owned by
Hartford) in the same proportion as it votes shares for which it has received
instructions. However, if the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any rule
promulgated thereunder should be amended, or if Hartford's present
interpretation should change and, as a result, Hartford determines it is
permitted to vote the shares of the Funds in its own right, it may elect to do
so.
The voting interests of the Policy Owner (or the assignee) in the Funds will
be determined as follows: Policy Owners may cast one vote for each full or
fractional Accumulation Unit owned under the Policy 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 Policy
Owner has taken a loan secured by the Policy, amounts transferred from the Sub-
Account(s) to the Loan Account in connection with the loan (see "Policy Benefits
and Rights -- Policy Loans," page 13) will not be considered in determining the
voting interests of the Policy Owner. Policy Owners should review the Funds
prospectus accompanying this Prospectus to determine matters on which
shareholders may vote.
Hartford may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities,
disregard Policy Owners' voting instructions if such instructions require that
the shares be voted so as to cause a change in the sub-classification or
investment objective of one or more of the Funds or to approve or disapprove an
investment advisory contract for the Funds.
In addition, Hartford itself may disregard Policy Owners' voting
instructions in favor of changes initiated by a Policy Owner in the investment
policy or the investment adviser of the Funds if Hartford reasonably disapproves
of such changes. A change would be disapproved only if the proposed change is
contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities. If Hartford
does disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the
<PAGE>
16 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
reasons for such action will be included in the next periodic report to Policy
Owners.
STATEMENTS TO POLICY OWNERS
Hartford will maintain all records relating to the Separate Account and the
Sub-Accounts. At least once each Policy Year, Hartford will send to Policy
Owners a statement showing the Coverage Amount and the Account Value of the
Policy (indicating the number of Accumulation Units credited to the Policy in
each Sub-Account and the corresponding Accumulation Unit Value) and any
outstanding loan secured by the Policy as of the date of the statement. The
statement will also show premium paid, and Deduction Amounts under the Policy
since the last statement, and any other information required by any applicable
law or regulation.
LIMIT ON RIGHT TO CONTEST
Hartford may not contest the validity of the Policy after it has been in
effect during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Issue Date. If the
Policy is reinstated, the two-year period is measured from the date of
reinstatement. Any increase in the Coverage Amount as a result of a premium is
contestable for two years from its effective date. In addition, if the Insured
commits suicide in the two year period, or such period as specified in state
law, the benefit payable will be limited to the Account Value less any
Indebtedness.
MISSTATEMENT AS TO AGE AND SEX
If the age or sex of the Insured is incorrectly stated, the Death Benefit
will be appropriately adjusted as specified in the Policy.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
The surrender proceeds or Death Proceeds under the Policies may be paid in a
lump sum or may be applied to one of Hartford's payment options. The minimum
amount that may be applied under a payment option is $5,000, unless Hartford
consents to a lesser amount. Under Options 2, 3 and 4, no surrender or partial
withdrawals are permitted after payments commence. Full surrender or partial
withdrawals may be made from Option 1 or Option 6, but they are subject to the
contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable. Only a full surrender is
allowed from Option 5. A surrender from Option 5 will also be subject to the
contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.
Hartford will pay interest of at least 3 1/2% per year on the Death Proceeds
from the date of the Insured's death to the date payment is made or a payment
option is elected. At such times, the proceeds are not subject to the investment
experience of the Separate Account.
The following options are available under the Policies (Hartford may offer
other payment options):
OPTION 1 -- Interest Income
This option offers payments of interest, at the rate Hartford declares, on
the amount applied under this option. The interest rate will never be less than
3 1/2% per year.
OPTION 2 -- Life Annuity
A life annuity is an annuity payable during the lifetime of the payee and
terminating with the last payment preceding the death of the payee. This option
offers the 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 annuity payments if he died before the date of the third annuity payment,
etc.
OPTION 3 -- Life Annuity with 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain
This annuity option is an annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
payee with the provision that payments will be made for a minimum of 120, 180 or
240 months, as elected. If, at the death of the payee, payments have been made
for less than the minimum elected number of months, then the present value (as
of the date of the payee's death) of any remaining guaranteed payments will be
paid in one sum to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated, unless other
provisions have been made and approved by Hartford.
OPTION 4 -- Joint and Last Survivor Annuity
An annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the payee and a
designated second person, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the
survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the survivor.
Based on the options currently offered by Hartford, the payee may elect that the
payment to the survivor be less than the payment made during the joint lifetime
of the payee and a designated second person.
It would be possible under this option for a payee and designated second
person to receive only one payment in the event of the common or simultaneous
death of the parties prior to the due date for the second payment and so on.
OPTION 5 -- Payments for a Designated Period
An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected, which may be
from five to 30 years. Under this
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
option, you may, at any time, request a full surrender and receive, within seven
days, the termination value of the Policy as determined by Hartford.
In the event of the payee's death prior to the end of the designated period,
the present value (as of the date of the payee's death) of any remaining
guaranteed payments will be paid in one sum to the beneficiary or beneficiaries
designated unless other provisions have been made and approved by Hartford.
Option 5 is an option that does not involve life contingencies.
OPTION 6 -- Death Proceeds Remaining with Hartford
Proceeds from the Death Benefit left with Hartford. These proceeds will
remain in the Sub-Accounts to which they were allocated at the time of death,
unless the beneficiary elects to reallocate them. Full or partial withdrawals
may be made at any time.
VARIABLE AND FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS: When an annuity is effected, unless
otherwise specified, the surrender proceeds or Death Proceeds held in the
Sub-Accounts will be applied to provide a variable annuity based on the pro rata
amount in the various Sub-Accounts. Fixed annuities options are also available.
YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHETHER THE ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS AMONG SUB-ACCOUNTS OF THE
SEPARATE ACCOUNT FOR YOUR ANNUITY PAYMENTS ARE BASED ON THE INVESTMENT
ALTERNATIVE BEST SUITED TO YOUR RETIREMENT NEEDS.
VARIABLE ANNUITY: The Policy 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 Policy
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 Policy.
The amount of the first monthly variable annuity payment is divided by the
value of an annuity unit (an accounting unit of measure used to calculate the
value of annuity payments) for the appropriate Sub-Account no earlier than the
close of business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the day on which the
payment is due in order to determine the number of annuity units represented by
the first payment. This number of annuity units remains fixed during the annuity
payment period and in each subsequent month the dollar amount of the variable
annuity payment is determined by multiplying this fixed number of annuity units
by the current annuity unit value.
LEVEL VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS WOULD BE PRODUCED IF THE INVESTMENT RATE
REMAINED CONSTANT AND EQUAL TO THE A.I.R. IN FACT, PAYMENTS WILL VARY UP OR DOWN
AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN RELATIVE TO THE A.I.R.
FIXED ANNUITY: Fixed annuity payments are determined by multiplying the
amount applied to the annuity by a rate (to be determined by Hartford) which is
no less than the rate specified in the fixed payment annuity tables in the
Policy. The annuity payment will remain level for the duration of the annuity.
Hartford will make any other arrangements for income payments as may be
agreed on.
BENEFICIARY
The applicant names the beneficiary in the application for the Policy. The
Policy Owner may change the beneficiary (unless irrevocably named) during the
Insured's lifetime by written request to Hartford. If no beneficiary is living
when the Insured dies, the Death Proceeds will be paid to the Policy Owner if
living; otherwise to the Policy Owner's estate.
ASSIGNMENT
The Policy may be assigned as collateral for a loan or other obligation.
Hartford is not responsible for any payment made or action taken before receipt
of written notice of such assignment. Proof of interest must be filed with any
claim under a collateral assignment.
DIVIDENDS
No dividends will be paid under the Policies.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
Hartford intends to sell the Policies in all jurisdictions where it is
licensed to do business. The Policies will be sold by life insurance sales
representatives who represent Hartford and who are registered representatives of
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO") or certain other independent,
registered broker-dealers. Any sales representative or employee will have been
qualified to sell variable life insurance contracts under applicable federal and
state laws. Each broker-dealer is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all are members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") serves as Principal
Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the Separate Account. Both
HESCO and HSD are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hartford Life Insurance Company.
The principal business address of HESCO and HSD is the same as that of Hartford.
The maximum sales commission payable to Hartford agents, independent
registered insurance brokers, and other registered broker-dealers is 7.0% of
initial and subsequent premiums. From time to time, Hartford may pay or permit
other promotional incentives, in cash or credit or other compensation.
Broker-dealers or financial institutions are compensated according to a schedule
set forth by HSD and any applicable rules or regulations for variable insurance
compensation. Compensation is generally based on premium payments made by
policyholders or contract owners. This compensation is usually paid from the
sales charges described in this Prospectus.
In addition, a broker-dealer or financial institution may also receive
additional compensation for, among other things, training, marketing or other
services provided. HSD, its affiliates or Hartford may also make compensation
arrangements with certain broker-dealers or financial institutions based on
total sales by the broker-dealer or financial institution of insurance products.
These payments, which may be different for different broker-dealers or financial
institutions, will be made by HSD, its affiliates or Hartford out of their own
assets and will not effect the amounts paid by the policyholders or contract
owners to purchase, hold or surrender variable insurance products.
Hartford may provide information on various topics to Policy Owners and
prospective Policy 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
Policies and the characteristics of, and market for, such alternatives.
SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
The assets of the Separate Account are held by Hartford. The assets of the
Separate Account are kept physically segregated and held separate and apart from
the General Account of Hartford. Hartford maintains records of all purchases and
redemptions of shares of the Fund. Additional protection for the assets of the
Separate Account is afforded by Hartford's blanket fidelity bond, issued by
Aetna Casualty and Surety Company, in the aggregate of $50 million, covering all
of the officers and employees of Hartford.
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL
SINCE THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY ACCORDING
TO THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE POLICY OWNER INVOLVED, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE MAY BE
NEEDED BY A PERSON, EMPLOYER OR OTHER ENTITY CONTEMPLATING THE PURCHASE OF A
POLICY DESCRIBED HEREIN.
It should be understood that any detailed description of the federal income
tax consequences regarding the purchase of these Policies 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 's understanding of existing Federal
income tax laws as they are currently interpreted.
TAXATION OF HARTFORD AND
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is taxed as a part of Hartford which is taxed as a life
insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, the Separate Account will not be taxed as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income
and realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account (the underlying
Funds) are reinvested and are taken into account in determining the value of the
Accumulation Units (see "Policy Benefits and Right -- Account Value," on
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 23
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
page 12). As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are
automatically applied to increase reserves under the Policy.
Hartford does not expect to incur any federal income tax on the earnings or
realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon this
expectation, no charge is currently being made to the Separate Account for
federal income taxes. If Hartford incurs income taxes attributable to the
Separate Account or determines that such taxes will be incurred, it may assess a
charge for such taxes against the Separate Account.
INCOME TAXATION OF POLICY BENEFITS
For federal income tax purposes, the Policies 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 Policy Owner is generally not taxed on
increments in the contract value until the Policy is partially or completely
surrendered. Section 7702 limits the amount of premiums that may be invested in
a Policy that is treated as life insurance. Hartford intends to monitor premium
levels to assure compliance with the Section 7702 requirements.
During the first fifteen Policy 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 Policy.
The Maturity Date Extension Rider allows a Policy Owner to extend the
Maturity Date to the date of the Insured's death. If the Maturity Date of the
Policy is extended by rider, Hartford believes that the Policy 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 Policy 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 Policy Owner should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the possible
adverse tax consequences resulting from an extension of the scheduled Maturity
Date.
LAST SURVIVOR POLICIES
Although Hartford believes that the last survivor Policies 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
Policy does not meet the specified computational rules for the "seven-pay test"
under Section 7702A(c). Therefore, the Policy 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 Policy to be treated as a modified
endowment contract if no additional premiums are paid and there is no change in
the death benefit as the result of the exchange.
A contract that is classified as modified endowment contract is generally
eligible for the beneficial tax treatment accorded to life insurance. That is,
the death benefit is excluded from income and increments in value are not
subject to current taxation. However, loans, distributions or other amounts
received from a modified endowment contract during the life of the Insured will
be taxed to the extent of any accumulated income in the contract (generally, the
excess of account value over premiums paid). Amounts that are taxable
withdrawals will be subject to a 10% additional tax, with certain exceptions.
All modified endowment contracts that are issued within any calendar year to
the same Policy 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 Policy Owner's estate for purposes of federal estate tax if the last
surviving Insured owned the Policy. If the Policy Owner was not the last
surviving Insured, the fair market value of the Policy would be included in the
Policy Owner's estate upon the Policy 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.
The federal estate tax is integrated with the federal gift tax under a
unified rate schedule and unified credit which shelters up to $625,000 (1998)
from the estate and gift tax. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 gradually raises
the credit over the next eight years to $1,000,000. In addition, an unlimited
marital deduction may be available for federal
<PAGE>
24 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Policy Owner (whether or not he or she is an Insured) transfers
ownership of the Policy 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 Policy. 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 Policy
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 Policy is not treated as
a life insurance contract, the Policy 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 Policy Owner must agree to pay the tax due for the period during which the
diversification requirements were not met.
Hartford monitors the diversification of investments in the separate
accounts and tests for diversification as required by the Code. Hartford intends
to administer all contracts subject to the diversification requirements in a
manner that will maintain adequate diversification.
OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS IN THE
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
In order for a variable life insurance contract to qualify for tax deferral,
assets in the segregated asset accounts supporting the variable contract must be
considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the variable contract
owner. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued several rulings which
discuss investor control. The IRS has ruled that certain 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 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 Policy Owner could be considered the owner of
the assets for tax purposes. Hartford reserves the right to modify the
contracts, as necessary, to prevent Policy 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
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 25
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
specific taxpayer. In the TAM, among other things, the IRS concluded that an
employee was subject to current taxation on the excess of the cash surrender
value of the policy over the premiums to be returned to the employer. Purchasers
of life insurance policies to be used in split dollar arrangements are strongly
advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser to determine the tax treatment
resulting from such an arrangement.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
If any amounts are deemed to be current taxable income to the Policy Owner,
such amounts will be subject to federal income tax withholding and reporting,
pursuant to the Code.
NON-INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP OF POLICIES
In certain circumstances, the Code limits the application of specific tax
advantages to individual owners of life insurance contracts. Prospective Policy
Owners which are not individuals should consult a qualified tax adviser to
determine the potential impact on the purchaser.
OTHER
Federal estate tax, state and local estate, inheritance and other tax
consequences of ownership, or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Policy Owner or beneficiary. A tax adviser should be
consulted to determine the impact of these taxes.
LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT
ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal
income tax consequences to life insurance purchasers that are U.S. citizens or
residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be
subject to U.S. federal income tax and withholding on taxable distributions from
life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In
addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes
that may be imposed by the purchaser's country of citizenship or residence.
Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser
regarding U.S. state, and foreign taxation with respect to a life insurance
policy purchase.

Account is a party.

APPENDIX A
SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR POLICIES PURCHASED IN NEW YORK
If the Policy is purchased in the State of New York, the following provisions
of the Prospectus are amended as follows:
In the Special Terms subsection of the Prospectus, the definition of Account
Value is deleted and the following definition is substituted:
ACCOUNT VALUE: The current value of Accumulation Units plus the value of the
Loan Account under the Policy. In the case of a Policy Owner who purchases the
Policy in the State of New York (the "New York Policy Owner") and who elects to
transfer into the Fixed Account, Account Value is the current value of the Fixed
Account plus the value of the Loan Account under the Policy.
The following definition is added:
FIXED ACCOUNT: Part of the General Account of Hartford to which a New York
Policy Owner may allocate the entire Account Value.
The definition of Loan Account is deleted and the following definition is
substituted:
LOAN ACCOUNT: An account in Hartford's General Account, established for any
amounts transferred from the Sub-Accounts or, if a New York Policy Owner, from
the Fixed Account for requested loans. The Loan Account credits a fixed rate of
interest of 4% per annum that is not based on the investment experience of the
Separate Account.
The following is added to the Prospectus as a separate section following the
section entitled "The Separate Account":
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
THAT PORTION OF THE POLICY RELATING TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 ("1933 ACT") AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT
REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
("1940 ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED ACCOUNT NOR ANY INTERESTS THEREIN
ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF THE 1933 ACT OR THE 1940 ACT,
AND THE DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE
STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURE ABOUT
THE FIXED ACCOUNT MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF
THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS REGARDING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF
DISCLOSURE.
Under the circumstances described below under the heading "Transfer of
Entire Account Value to the Fixed Account," New York Policy Owners may transfer
no less than the entire Account Value to the Fixed Account. Account Value
transferred to the Fixed Account becomes part of the general assets of Hartford.
Hartford invests the assets of the General Account in accordance with applicable
laws governing the investment of insurance company general accounts.
Hartford currently credits interest to the Account Value transferred to the
Fixed Account under the Policy at the Minimum Credited Rate of 3% per year,
compounded annually. Hartford reserves the right to credit a lower minimum
interest rate according to state law. Hartford may also credit interest at rates
greater than the minimum Fixed Account interest rate. There is no specific
formula for determining the interest credited to the Account Value in the Fixed
Account.
The following language is added to the section of the Prospectus entitled
"Deductions and Charges -- Administrative Charge," page 11:
No Administrative Charge is deducted from Account Value in the Fixed
Account.
The following language is added to the section of the Prospectus entitled
"Deductions and Charges -- Mortality and Expense Risk Charge," page 11:
No Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is deducted from Account Value in the
Fixed Account.
The following separate sections are added to the section of the Prospectus
entitled "Policy Benefits," page 12:
TRANSFER OF ENTIRE ACCOUNT
VALUE TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT
New York Policy Owners may transfer no less than the entire Account Value
into the Fixed Account under the following circumstances: (i) during the first
18 months following the Date of Issue, (ii) within 30 days following a Policy
Anniversary, or (iii) within 60 days following the effective date of a material
change in the investment policy of the Separate Account which the New York
Policy Owner objects to.
A TRANSFER TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT MUST BE FOR THE ENTIRE ACCOUNT VALUE AND
ONCE THE ACCOUNT VALUE HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 27
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIXED ACCOUNT, IT MAY NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE TRANSFERRED BACK TO THE
SEPARATE ACCOUNT.
For New York Policy Owners who elect to invest in the Fixed Account,
Hartford will transfer the entire Account Value from the Separate Account to the
Fixed Account on the Monthly Activity Date next following the date on which
Hartford received the transfer request. The Account Value in the Fixed Account
on the date of transfer equals the entire Account Value; plus the value of the
Loan Account; minus the Monthly Deduction Amount applicable to the Fixed Account
and minus the Annual Maintenance Fee, if applicable. On each subsequent Monthly
Activity Date, the Account Value in the Fixed Account equals the Account Value
on the previous Monthly Activity Date; plus any premiums received since the last
Monthly Activity Date; plus interest credited since the last Monthly Activity
Date; minus the Monthly Deduction Amount applicable to the Fixed Account; minus
any partial surrenders taken since the last Monthly Activity Date and minus any
Surrender Charges deducted since the last Monthly Deduction Date. On each
Valuation Date (other than a Monthly Activity Date), the Account Value of the
Fixed Account equals the Account Value on the previous Monthly Activity Date;
plus any premiums received since the last Monthly Activity Date; plus any
interest credited since the last Monthly Activity Date; minus any partial
surrenders taken since the last Monthly Activity Date and minus any surrender
charges deducted since the last Monthly Activity Date.
DEFERRED PAYMENTS
Hartford reserves the right to defer payment of any Cash Surrender Values
and loan amounts which are attributable to the Fixed Account for up to six
months from the date of request. If payment is deferred for more than ten days,
Hartford will pay interest at the Fixed Account Minimum Credited Interest Rate.

APPENDIX B
ILLUSTRATIONS OF BENEFITS
The tables in Appendix B 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 -- Taxes Charged Against the Separate Account,"
page 11).
The "Premium Paid Plus Interest" column of each table shows the amount which
would accumulate if the initial premium was invested to earn interest, after
taxes of 5% per year, compounded annually.
Hartford will furnish upon request, a comparable illustration reflecting the
proposed insureds age, risk classification, Face Amount or initial premium
requested, and reflecting guaranteed cost of insurance rates. Hartford will also
furnish an additional similar illustration reflecting current cost of insurance
rates which may be less than, but never greater than, the guaranteed cost of
insurance rates.

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 and liabilities of the Bond
Fund Sub-Account, Stock Fund Sub-Account, Money Market Fund Sub-Account,
Advisers Fund Sub-Account, Capital Appreciation Fund Sub-Account, Mortgage
Securities Fund Sub-Account, Index Fund Sub-Account, International Opportunities
Fund Sub-Account, Dividend and Growth Fund Sub-Account, International Advisers
Fund Sub-Account, Small Company Fund Sub-Account and MidCap Fund Sub-Account
(constituting Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account Five) (the
Accounts) as of December 31, 1997, and the related statement of operations for
the year then ended and statements of changes in net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended (except for the MidCap Fund Sub-Account which
reflects the period from inception, July 15, 1997, to December 31, 1997 and for
the Small Company Fund Sub-Account which reflects the year ended December 31,
1997 and the period from inception, August 9, 1996, to December 31, 1996). These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Account's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Bond Fund Sub-Account,
Stock Fund Sub-Account, Money Market Fund Sub-Account, Advisers Fund
Sub-Account, Capital Appreciation Fund Sub-Account, Mortgage Securities Fund
Sub-Account, Index Fund Sub-Account, International Opportunities Fund
Sub-Account, Dividend and Growth Fund Sub-Account, International Advisers Fund
Sub-Account, Small Company Fund Sub-Account and MidCap Fund Sub-Account
(constituting Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account Five) as of
December 31, 1997, the results of its operations and the changes in its net
assets for each of two years in the period then ended (except for the MidCap
Fund Sub-Account which reflects the period from inception, July 15, 1997, to
December 31, 1997 and for the Small Company Fund Sub-Account which reflects the
year ended December 31, 1997 and the period from inception, August 9, 1996, to
December 31, 1996) in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997
1. ORGANIZATION:
Separate Account Five (the Account) is a separate investment account 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. The Account consists of forty-one
sub-accounts. These financial statements include twelve sub-accounts which
invest solely in Hartford Mutual Funds (the Funds). The thirteen sub-accounts
which invest in Dean Witter Select Dimensions Portfolios and the sixteen sub-
accounts which invest in Putnam VT Funds are presented in separate financial
statements. Both the Company and the Account are subject to supervision and
regulation by the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut and the
SEC. The Account invests deposits by variable life contractholders of the
Company in the Funds as directed by the contractholders.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the
Account, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the investment company industry:
a) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS -- Security transactions are recorded on the trade
date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of investments sold is
determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend and capital gains income
are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains income represents
dividends from the Funds which are characterized as capital gains under tax
regulations.
b) SECURITY VALUATION -- The investment in shares of the Funds are valued at
the closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate Fund as
of December 31, 1997.
c) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The operations of the Account form a part of, and
are taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as an
insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, no federal
income taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the Account.
d) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could
vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates.
3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT
AND RELATED CHARGES:
In accordance with the terms of the contracts, the Company makes deductions
for mortality and expense undertakings, cost of insurance, administrative fees,
and state premium taxes. These charges are deducted through termination of units
of interest from applicable contract owners' accounts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Hartford Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Hartford Life
Insurance Company (the "Company") and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, 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,
1997. These consolidated financial statements and the schedules referred to
below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in Index to
Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules are presented for the purpose of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part
of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic 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 financial statements
taken as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
These consolidated financial statements include Hartford Life Insurance
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"), ITT Hartford Life and
Annuity Insurance Company ("ILA") and ITT Hartford International Life
Reassurance Corporation ("HLRe"), formerly American Skandia Life Reinsurance
Corporation. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life and
Accident Insurance Company ("HLA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life,
Inc. ("Hartford Life"). Hartford Life is a direct subsidiary of Hartford
Accident and Indemnity Company ("HA&I"), an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford
Financial Services Group, Inc. ("The Hartford"). On February 10, 1997, Hartford
Life filed a registration statement, as amended, with the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to an Initial Public Offering ("IPO") of the
Hartford Life's Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to the IPO on May 22, 1997,
Hartford Life sold to the public 26 million shares at $28.25 per share and
received net proceeds of $687. Of the proceeds, $527 was used to retire debt
related to Hartford Life's outstanding promissory notes and line of credit with
the remaining $160 contributed by Hartford Life to HLA to support growth in its
core businesses.
On December 19, 1995, ITT Industries, Inc. (formerly ITT Corporation)
("ITT") distributed all the outstanding shares of capital stock of The Hartford
to ITT stockholders of record on such date. As a result, The Hartford became an
independent, publicly traded company.
Along with its parent, the Company is a leading insurance and financial
services company which provides (a) investment products such as individual
variable annuities and fixed market value adjusted annuities, deferred
compensation and retirement plan services and mutual funds for savings and
retirement needs; (b) life insurance for income protection and estate planning;
and (c) employee benefits products such as group life and group disability
insurance and corporate owned life insurance.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements present the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Company. All material intercompany
transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates
have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the
basis of generally accepted accounting principles which differ materially from
the statutory accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory
authorities.
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 most
significant estimates include those used in determining deferred policy
acquisition costs and the liability for future policy benefits and other
policyholder funds. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates,
management believes the amounts provided are adequate.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information
to conform to the current year presentation.
(B) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In December 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 97-3 "Accounting by Insurance
and Other Enterprises for Insurance Related Assessments". This SOP provides
guidance on accounting by insurance and other enterprises for assessments
related to insurance activities. Specifically, the SOP provides guidance on when
a guaranty fund or other assessment should be recognized, how to measure the
liability, and what information should be disclosed. This SOP will be effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Adoption of SOP 97-3 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
On November 14, 1996, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a
consensus on Issue No. 96-12, "Recognition of Interest Income and Balance Sheet
Classification of Structured Notes". This EITF issue requires companies to
record income on certain structured securities on a retrospective interest
method. The Company adopted EITF No. 96-12 for structured securities acquired
after November 14, 1996. Adoption of EITF No. 96-12 did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities"
which is effective for transfers and servicing of financial
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996.
This statement established criteria for determining whether transferred assets
should be accounted for as sales or secured borrowings. Subsequently, in
December 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of Effective Date of
Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125", which defers the effective date
of certain provisions of SFAS No. 125 for one year. Adoption of SFAS No. 125 is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of". This statement establishes accounting standards for the impairment of
long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to
those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. Adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not
have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
The Company's cash flows were not impacted by these changes in accounting
principles.
(C) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues for universal life-type policies and investment products consist of
policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration and surrender
charges assessed to policy account balances and are recognized in the period in
which services are provided. Premiums for traditional life insurance and
disability policies are recognized as revenues when they are due from
policyholders.
(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 and
mortality assumptions appropriate at the time the policies were issued. Health
reserves, which are the result of sales of group long-term and short-term
disability, stop loss, Medicare Supplement and individual disability products,
are stated at amounts determined by estimates on individual cases and estimates
of unreported claims based on past experience. Liabilities for universal
life-type and investment contracts are stated at policyholder account values
before surrender charges.
(E) POLICYHOLDER REALIZED CAPITAL GAINS AND LOSSES
Realized capital gains and losses on security transactions associated with
the Company's immediate participation guaranteed contracts are excluded from
revenues and deferred over the expected maturity of the securities, 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) INVESTMENTS
The Company's investments in fixed maturities include bonds and commercial
paper which are considered "available for sale" and accordingly are carried at
fair value with the after-tax difference from cost reflected as a component of
Stockholder's Equity designated "Net unrealized capital gains (losses) on
securities, net of tax". Equity securities, which include common and
non-redeemable preferred stocks, are carried at fair values with the after-tax
difference from cost reflected in Stockholder's Equity. Policy loans are carried
at outstanding balance which approximates fair value. Net realized capital gains
and losses, after deducting pension policyholders' share, are reported as a
component of revenue and are determined on a specific identification basis.
The Company's accounting policy for impairment requires recognition of an
other than temporary impairment charge on a security if it is determined that
the Company is unable to recover all amounts due under the contractual
obligations of the security. In addition, for securities expected to be sold, an
other than temporary impairment charge is recognized if the Company does not
expect the fair value of a security to recover to cost or amortized cost prior
to the expected date of sale. Once an impairment charge has been recorded, the
Company then continues to review the other than temporarily impaired securities
for appropriate valuation on an on-going basis.
During 1996, it was determined that certain individual securities within the
investment portfolio supporting the Company's block of guaranteed rate contract
business written prior to 1995 ("Closed Book GRC") could not recover to
amortized cost prior to sale. Therefore, an other than temporary impairment loss
of $88, after-tax, was recorded.
(G) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses a variety of derivative instruments including swaps, caps,
floors, forwards and exchange traded financial futures and options 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. The Company
does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. The
Company's accounting for derivative 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", AICPA SOP 86-2,
"Accounting for Options" and various EITF pronouncements. Written options are
used, in all cases in conjunction with other assets and derivatives, as part of
the Company's asset and liability management strategy. Derivative instruments
are carried at values consistent with the asset or liability being hedged.
Derivative instruments used to hedge fixed maturities or equity securities are
carried at fair value
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
with the after-tax difference from cost reflected in Stockholder's Equity.
Derivative instruments used to hedge other invested assets or liabilities are
carried at cost.
Derivative instruments must be designated at inception as a hedge and
measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an on-going basis. The
Company'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. Derivative
instruments 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. Consistent with industry
practice, synthetic instruments are accounted for like the financial instrument
it is intended to replicate. Derivative instruments which fail to meet risk
management criteria, subsequent to acquisition, 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 investment of future receipt of product cash flows are deferred and, at
the time of the ultimate investment purchase, reflected as an adjustment to the
cost basis of the purchased asset. Gains or losses on futures used in invested
asset risk management are deferred and adjusted into the cost 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 net investment income over the remaining
asset life.
Open forward commitment contracts are marked to market through Stockholder's
Equity. Such contracts are accounted for at settlement by recording the purchase
of the specified securities at the previously committed price. Gains or losses
resulting from the termination of 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 option. 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 investment 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 net investment income. 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 capital gain or loss.
Premiums paid on purchased floor or cap agreements and the premium received
on issued cap or floor 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. Changes in the spot rate of instruments designated
as hedges of the net investment in a foreign subsidiary are reflected in the
cumulative translation adjustments component of Stockholder's Equity. Cash flows
from futures, options, and swaps, accounted for as hedges, are included with the
cash flows of the item being hedged.
(H) SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
The Company maintains separate account assets and liabilities 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
policyholders. Separate accounts reflect two categories of risk assumption:
non-guaranteed separate accounts, wherein the policyholder assumes the
investment risk, and guaranteed separate account assets, wherein the Company
contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the
policyholder.
(I) DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Policy acquisition costs, which include commissions and certain underwriting
expenses associated with acquiring business, are deferred and amortized over the
estimated lives of the contracts, generally 20 years. Generally, acquisition
costs are deferred and amortized using the retrospective deposit method. Under
the retrospective deposit method, acquisition costs are amortized in proportion
to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges,
investment, mortality and expense margins. Actual gross profits can vary from
management's estimates resulting in increases or decreases in the rate of
amortization. Management periodically updates these estimates, when appropriate,
and evaluates the recoverability of the deferred acquisition cost asset. When
appropriate, management revises its assumptions on the estimated gross profits
of these contracts and the cumulative amortization

(J) DIVIDENDS TO POLICYHOLDERS
Certain life insurance policies contain dividend payment provisions that
enable the policyholder to participate in the earnings of the life insurance
subsidiaries of the Company. The participating insurance in force accounted for
55%, 44%, and 41% in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively, of total insurance in
force.
3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On February 10, 1997, Hartford Life filed a registration statement, as
amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, relating to the IPO of
Hartford Life's Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to the IPO on May 22, 1997,
Hartford Life sold to the public 26 million shares at $28.25 per share and
received proceeds, net of offering expenses, of $687. Of the proceeds, $527 was
used to retire debt related to Hartford Life's promissory notes outstanding and
line of credit. The remaining $160 was contributed by Hartford Life to HLA to
support growth in its core businesses. The 26 million shares sold in the
Offering represent approximately 18.6% of the equity ownership in Hartford Life
and approximately 4.4% of the combined voting power of Hartford Life's Class A
and Class B Common Stock. The Hartford owns all of the 114 million outstanding
shares of Class B Common Stock of Hartford Life, representing approximately
81.4% of the equity ownership in Hartford Life and approximately 95.6% of the
combined voting power of Hartford Life's Class A and Class B Common Stock.
Holders of Class A Common Stock generally have identical rights to the holders
of Class B Common Stock except that the holders of Class A Common Stock are
entitled to one vote per share while holders of Class B Common Stock are
entitled to five votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of Hartford
Life's stockholders.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity investments at
December 31, 1997 by estimated maturity year are shown below. Expected
maturities differ from contractual maturities due to call or prepayment
provisions. Asset backed securities, including MBS and CMO's, are distributed to
maturity year based on the Company's estimates of the rate of future prepayments
of principal over the remaining lives of the securities. These estimates are
developed using prepayment speeds provided in broker consensus data. Such
estimates are derived from prepayment speeds experienced at the interest rate
levels projected for the applicable underlying collateral and can be expected to
vary from actual experience.

Sales of fixed maturities, excluding short-term fixed maturities, for the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 resulted in proceeds of $4.2
billion, $3.5 billion and $4.8 billion, gross realized capital gains of $169,
$87 and $91, gross realized capital losses (including writedowns) of $176, $298
and $72, respectively. Sales of equity security investments for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 resulted in proceeds of $132, $74 and $64,
gross realized capital gains of $12, $2 and $28 and gross realized capital

(F) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Excluding investments in U.S. government and agencies, the Company has not
invested in the securities of a single issuer in amounts greater than 10% of
stockholder's equity at December 31, 1997.
(G) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company utilizes a variety of derivative instruments, including swaps,
caps, floors, forwards and exchange traded futures and options, in accordance
with Company policy and in order to achieve one of three Company approved
objectives: to hedge risk arising from interest rate, price or currency exchange
rate volatility; to manage liquidity; or, to control transactions costs. The
Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage market risk through four
principal risk management strategies: hedging anticipated transactions, hedging
liability instruments, hedging invested assets and hedging portfolios of assets
and/or liabilities. The Company does not trade in these instruments for the
express purpose of earning trading profits.
The Company maintains a derivatives counterparty exposure policy which
establishes market-based credit limits, favors long-term financial stability and
creditworthiness, and typically requires credit enhancement/credit risk reducing
agreements. Credit risk is measured as the amount owed to the Company based on
current market conditions and potential payment obligations between the Company
and its counterparties. Credit exposures are quantified weekly and netted, and
collateral is pledged to or held by the Company to the extent the current value
of derivatives exceed exposure policy thresholds.
The Company's derivative program is monitored by an internal compliance unit
and is reviewed by senior management and Hartford Life's Finance Committee.
Notional amounts, which represent the basis upon which pay or receive amounts
are calculated and are not reflective of credit risk, pertaining to derivative
financial instruments (excluding the Company's guaranteed separate account
derivative investments), totaled $6.5 billion and $9.9 billion ($4.6 billion and
$7.4 billion related to the Company's investments, $1.9 billion and $2.5 billion
on the Company's liabilities) at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The table below provides a summary of derivative instruments held by the
Company at December 31, 1997 and 1996, segregated by major investment and
liability category:

(1) Inverse floaters are variations of collateralized mortgage obligations
("CMO's") for which the coupon rates move inversely with an index rate such as
the London interbank offered rate ("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, the Company uses a variety of derivative instruments,
primarily interest rate swaps, caps and floors.
(2) As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, over 44% and 39% , respectively, of
the notional futures contracts expire within one year.
(3) As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, over 16% and 42%, respectively, of
foreign currency swaps expire within one year; the balance matures over the
succeeding 9 years.
(4) Deferred gains and losses on anticipatory transactions are included in
the carrying value of fixed maturities 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, 1997, the Company had $0 deferred gains and
losses. At December 31, 1996, the Company had $0.9 in net deferred gains for
futures, interest rate swaps and purchased options of which $2.0 was basis
adjusted in 1997.

5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosure about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of fair value information of
financial instruments. For certain financial instruments where quoted market
prices are not available, other independent valuation techniques and assumptions
are used. Because considerable judgment is used, these estimates are not
necessarily indicative of amounts that could be realized in a current market
exchange. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments from disclosure,
including insurance contracts.
For cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, policy loans,
mortgage loans and other liabilities, carrying amounts on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets approximate fair value.
Fair value for fixed maturities and marketable equity securities are based
upon quoted market prices. Fair value for securities that are not publicly
traded are analytically determined. These amounts are disclosed in Note 4 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments, including swaps, caps,
floors, futures, options and forward commitments, is determined using a pricing
model which is validated through quarterly comparison to dealer quoted prices.
Amounts are disclosed in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fair value for partnerships and trusts are based on external market
valuations from partnership and trust management.
Other policy claims and benefits payable fair value information is
determined by estimating future cash flows, discounted at the current market
rate.
The carrying amount and fair values of the Company's financial instruments
at December 31, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

</TABLE>
6. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
The Company maintained separate account assets and liabilities totaling
$69.1 billion and $49.7 billion at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
which are reported at fair value. Separate account assets are segregated from
other investments and net investment income and net realized capital gains and
losses accrue directly to the policyholder. Separate accounts reflect two
categories of risk assumption: non-guaranteed separate accounts totaling $58.6
billion and $39.4 billion at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, wherein
the policyholder assumes the investment risk, and guaranteed separate accounts
totaling $10.5 and $10.3 billion at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
wherein the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account
value to the policyholder. Included in the non-guaranteed category were policy
loans totaling $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Net investment income (including net realized capital 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 were $699, $538 and $387 in 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The guaranteed separate accounts include fixed market value
adjusted individual annuity and modified guaranteed life insurance. The average
credited interest rate on these contracts was 6.52% at December 31, 1997. The
assets that support these liabilities were comprised of $10.2 billion in fixed
maturities as of December 31, 1997. The portfolios are segregated from other
investments and are managed to minimize liquidity and interest rate risk. In
order to minimize the risk of disintermediation associated with early
withdrawals, fixed MVA 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 $119 in
carrying value and $3.0 billion in notional amounts as of December 31, 1997.

7. INCOME TAX
Hartford Life and The Hartford have entered into a tax sharing agreement
under which each member in the consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return will
make payments between them such that, with respect to any period, the amount of
taxes to be paid by the Company, subject to certain adjustments, generally will
be determined as though the Company were filing separate Federal, state and
local income tax returns.
As long as The Hartford continues to beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, at least 80% of the combined voting power and 80% of the value of
the outstanding capital stock of Hartford Life, the Company will be included for
Federal income tax purposes in the affiliated group of which The Hartford is the
common parent. To the extent allowed by law, it is the intention of The Hartford
and its subsidiaries to continue to file a single consolidated Federal income
tax return. The Company will continue to remit (receive from) The Hartford a
current income tax provision (benefit) computed in accordance with such tax
sharing agreement. The Company's effective tax rate was 36%, 35% and 32% in
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Income tax expense is as follows:

</TABLE>
Income taxes paid were $9, $189 and $162 in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The Company had a current tax payment of $27 due to The Hartford
at December 31, 1997 and a tax refund due from The Hartford of $72 at December
31, 1996.
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,
1997 was $37.
8. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT AND SAVINGS PLANS
(A) PENSION PLANS
The Company's employees are included in The Hartford'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. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an
amount between the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the maximum amount that
can be deducted for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Generally, pension costs
are funded through the purchase of the Company's group pension contracts. The
cost to the Company was approximately $5, $5 and $2 in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
The Company also provides, through The Hartford, certain health care and
life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. A substantial portion of
the Company's employees may become eligible for these benefits upon retirement.
The Company'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. The Company has prefunded
a portion of the health care and life insurance obligations through trust funds
where such prefunding can be accomplished on a tax effective basis.
Postretirement health care and life insurance benefits expense, allocated by The
Hartford, was immaterial to the results of operations for 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
The assumed rate in the per capita cost of health care (the health care
trend rate) was 8.5% for 1997, 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,
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the effect will be amortized over the average future service of covered
employees.
(B) INVESTMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN
Substantially all employees of the Company are eligible to participate in The
Hartford's Investment and Savings Plan. Under this plan, designated
contributions, which may be invested in Class A Common Stock of Hartford Life or
certain other investments, are matched, up to 3% of compensation, by the
Company. The cost to the Company for the above-mentioned plans was approximately
$2 in 1997.
9. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
During the second quarter of 1997, Hartford Life adopted the 1997 HLI
Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, options granted may be either
non-qualified options or incentive stock options qualifying under Section 422A
of the Internal Revenue Code. The aggregate number of shares of Class A Common
Stock which may be awarded in any one year shall be subject to an annual limit.
The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock which may be granted under
the Plan in each year shall be 1.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares
of Hartford Life Class A Common Stock and treasury stock as reported in the
Annual Report on Hartford Life's Form 10-K for the preceding year plus unused
portions of such limit from prior years. In addition, no more than 5,000,000
shares of Class A Common Stock shall be cumulatively available for awards of
incentive stock options under the Plan, and no more than 20% of the total number
of shares on a cumulative basis shall be available for restricted stock and
performance shares.
All options granted have an exercise price equal to the market price of
Hartford Life's stock on the date of grant and an option's maximum term is ten
years. Certain nonperformance based options become exercisable upon the
attainment of specified market price appreciation of Hartford Life's common
shares or at seven years after the date of grant, while the remaining
nonperformance based options become exercisable over a three year period
commencing with the date of grant.
Also included in the Plan are long term performance awards which become
payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals achieved over a three
year period.
During the second quarter of 1997, Hartford Life established the HLI
Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). Under this plan, eligible employees of
Hartford Life and the Company may purchase Class A Common Stock of Hartford Life
at a 15% discount from the lower of the market price at the beginning or end of
the quarterly offering period. Hartford Life may sell up to 2,700,000 shares of
stock to eligible employees. Hartford Life sold 54,316 shares under the ESPP in
1997.
10. REINSURANCE
The Company cedes insurance to other insurers, including its parent HLA, in
order to limit its maximum loss. Such transfer does not relieve the Company of
its primary liability. The Company also assumes insurance from other insurers.
Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the
Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and
monitors concentration of credit risk.
Net premiums and other considerations were comprised of the following:

Net premiums and other considerations...... $ 1,637 $ 1,705 $ 1,487

</TABLE>
The Company ceded approximately $76, $100 and $101 of group life premium in
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing $33.6 billion, $33.3 billion and
$32.3 billion of insurance in force, respectively. The Company ceded $339, $318
and $320 of accident and health premium to HLA in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The Company assumed $89, $101 and $103 of premium in 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively, representing $8.2 billion, $8.5 billion and $8.5 billion
of individual life insurance in force, respectively, from HLA.
Life reinsurance recoveries, which reduce death and other benefits,
approximated $158, $140 and $220 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had reinsurance recoverables of $5.0
billion from Mutual Benefit Life Assurance Corporation ("Mutual Benefit"),
supported by assets in a security trust of $5.0 billion (including policy loans
and accrued interest of $4.5 billion). 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 the Company as sole beneficiary. The
Company has no other significant reinsurance-related concentrations of credit
risk.
11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions of the Company with HA&I and its affiliates relate principally
to tax settlements, reinsurance, insurance coverage, rental and service fees,
payment of dividends and capital contributions. In addition, certain affiliated
insurance companies purchased group annuity contracts from the Company to fund
pension costs and claim annuities to settle casualty claims. Substantially all
general insurance expenses related to the Company, including rent and employee
benefit plan expenses, are initially paid by The Hartford. Direct expenses are
allocated to the Company using specific identification, and indirect expenses
are allocated using other applicable methods. Indirect expenses include those
for corporate areas which,
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
depending on type, are allocated based on either a percentage of direct expenses
or on utilization. Indirect expenses allocated to the Company by The Hartford
were $34, $40, and $45 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Management believes
that the methods used are reasonable.
The rent paid to Hartford Fire for space occupied by the Company was $7 in
1997, and $3 in 1996 and 1995. The Company expects to pay annual rent of $7 in
1998 and 1999, respectively, $12 in 2000 and 2001, respectively, $13 in 2002 and
$87 thereafter, over the remaining term of the sublease, which expires on
December 31, 2009. Rental expense is recognized over a level basis over the term
of the sublease and amounted to approximately $9 in 1997 and $8 in 1996 and
1995.
12. STATUTORY RESULTS
The domestic insurance subsidiaries of Hartford Life prepare their statutory
financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed by the
State of Connecticut Insurance Department. Prescribed statutory accounting
practices include publications of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners ("NAIC"), as well as state laws, regulations, and general
administrative rules.

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

</TABLE>
A significant percentage of the consolidated statutory surplus is
permanently reinvested or is subject to various state regulatory restrictions
which limit the payment of dividends without prior approval. The total amount of
statutory dividends which may be paid by the insurance subsidiaries of the
Company in 1998 is estimated to be $144.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
(A) LITIGATION
The Company is involved in pending and threatened litigation in the normal
course of its business in which claims for monetary and punitive damages have
been asserted. Although there can be no assurances, management, at the present
time, does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising from such pending
or threatened litigation will have a material effect on the financial condition
or operating results of the Company.
(B) GUARANTY FUNDS
Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state
insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance
companies to policyholders and claimants. Recent regulatory actions against
certain large life insurers encountering financial difficulty have prompted
various state insurance guaranty associations to begin assessing life insurance
companies for the deemed losses. Most of these laws do provide, however, that an
assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's solvency
and further provide annual limits on such assessments. A large part of the
assessments paid by the Company's insurance subsidiaries pursuant to these laws
may be used as credits for a portion of the Company's insurance subsidiaries'
premium taxes. The Company paid guaranty fund assessments of approximately $15,
$11 and $10 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, of which $4, $5, and $6 were
estimated to be creditable against premium taxes.
14. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company, along with its parent, sells financial products such as fixed
and variable annuities, retirement plan services, and life and disability
insurance on both an individual and a group basis. The Company divides its core
businesses into three segments: Annuity, Individual Life Insurance, and Employee
Benefits. The Company also maintains a Guaranteed Investment Contracts segment,
which is primarily comprised of guaranteed rate contract business written prior
to 1995 and a Corporate Operation. The Annuity segment offers individual
variable annuities and fixed market value adjusted annuities, deferred
compensation and retirement plan services, mutual funds, investment management
services and other financial products. The Individual Life Insurance segment
sells a variety of individual life insurance products, including variable life,
universal life, interest-sensitive whole life, and term life policies. The
Employee Benefits segment sells group insurance products, including group life,
group short and long-term disability and corporate owned life insurance, and
engages in certain international operations. The Guaranteed Investment Contracts
segment sells a limited amount of guaranteed investment contracts and contains
Closed Book GRC. Through its Corporate Operation, the Company reports items that
are not directly allocable to any of its business segments. Included in the
Corporate Operation are unallocated income and expense and certain other items
not directly allocable to any segment. Net realized capital gains and losses are
recognized in the period of realization, but are allocated to the segments
utilizing durations of the segment portfolios.

REPRESENTATION OF REASONABLENESS OF FEES
Hartford Life Insurance Company ("Hartford") hereby represents that the
aggregate fees and charges under the Policy are reasonable in relation to the
services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks
assumed by Hartford.
UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic
information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or
regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to
authority conferred in that section.
UNDERTAKINGS AND REPRESENTATIONS AS REQUIRED BY RULE 6e-3(T)
1. Separate Account Five meets the definition of "Separate Account" under
Rule 6e-3(T).
2. Hartford undertakes to keep and make available to the Commission upon
request any documents used to support any representation as to the
reasonableness of fees.
UNDERTAKING ON INDEMNIFICATION
Under Section 33-772 of the Connecticut General Statutes, unless limited by
its certificate of incorporation, the Registrant must indemnify a director
who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director of the
corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with
the proceeding.
The Registrant may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding
because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding
if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. Conn.
Gen. Stat. Section 33-771(a). Additionally, pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat.
Section 33-776, the Registrant may indemnify officers and employees or agents
for liability incurred and for any expenses to which they become subject by
reason of being or having been an employee or officer of the Registrant.
Connecticut law does not prescribe standards for the indemnification of
officers, employees and agents and expressly states that their
indemnification may be broader than the right of indemnification granted to
directors.
The foregoing statements are specifically made subject to the detailed
provisions of Section 33-770 et seq.
Notwithstanding the fact that Connecticut law obligates the Registrant to
indemnify only a
<PAGE>
director that was successful on the merits in a suit, under Article VIII,
Section 1 of the Registrant's bylaws, the Registrant must indemnify both
directors and officers of the Registrant for (1) any claims and liabilities
to which they become subject by reason of being or having been a directors or
officers of the company and legal and (2) other expenses incurred in
defending against such claims, in each case, to the extent such is consistent
with statutory provisions.
Additionally, the directors and officers of Hartford and Hartford Securities
Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") are covered under a directors and officers
liability insurance policy issued to The Hartford Financial Services Group,
Inc. and its subsidiaries. Such policy will reimburse the Registrant for any
payments that it shall make to directors and officers pursuant to law and
will, subject to certain exclusions contained in the policy, further pay any
other costs, charges and expenses and settlements and judgments arising from
any proceeding involving any director or officer of the Registrant in his
past or present capacity as such, and for which he may be liable, except as
to any liabilities arising from acts that are deemed to be uninsurable.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act of

RE: SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
FILE NO. 33-83654
Dear Sir/Madam:
I have acted as General Counsel to Hartford Life Insurance Company (the
"Company"), a Connecticut insurance company, and Hartford Life Insurance
Company Separate Account Five (the "Account") in connection with the
registration of an indefinite amount of securities in the form of modified
single premium variable life insurance contract (the "Contracts") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. I have examined such documents (including the Form S-6 Registration
Statement) and reviewed such questions of law as I considered necessary and
appropriate, and on the basis of such examination and review, it is my
opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing as a stock
life insurance company under the laws of the State of Connecticut and is
duly authorized by the Insurance Department of the State of Connecticut to
issue the Contracts.
2. The Account is a duly authorized and validly existing separate account
established pursuant to the provisions of Section 38a-433 of the
Connecticut Statutes.
3. To the extent so provided under the Contracts, that portion of the assets
of the Account equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with
respect to the Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out
of any other business that the Company may conduct.
4. The Contracts, when issued as contemplated by the Form S-6 Registration
Statement, will constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations of
the Company.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form S-6
Registration Statement for the Contracts and the Account.
Sincerely,
/s/ Lynda Godkin
