This Prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase
Director Life. Please read it carefully.
Director Life is a modified single premium variable life insurance policy. It
is:
X Modified single premium, because you make one single premium payment, and
under certain limited circumstances, you may make additional premium
payments.
X Variable, because the value of your life insurance policy will fluctuate with
the performance of the underlying funds.
At purchase, you allocate your payments to "Sub-Accounts" or subdivisions of our
Separate Account, an account that keeps your life insurance policy assets
separate from our company assets. These Sub-Accounts then purchase shares of
mutual funds set up exclusively for variable annuity or variable life insurance
products. These funds are not the same mutual funds that you buy through your
stockbroker or through a retail mutual fund. They may have similar investment
strategies and the same portfolio managers as retail mutual funds. This life
insurance policy offers you funds with investment strategies ranging from
conservative to aggressive and you may pick those funds that meet your
investment style.
The following Sub-Accounts are available under the Policy:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
AND RISKS
BENEFITS OF YOUR POLICY
FLEXIBILITY -- The policy is designed to be flexible to meet your specific
life insurance needs. You have the flexibility to choose your premium payment,
settlement options and investment options.
RIGHT TO EXAMINE -- For a limited time, usually 10 days after you receive
your life insurance policy, you may cancel it without paying a surrender charge.
A longer period maybe provided in certain states.
CASH VALUES -- Your policy has a cash value. The value of your policy will
fluctuate with the performance of the underlying funds.
DEATH BENEFIT -- You designate a beneficiary who will receive the Death
Benefit if you die while the policy is in force. The policy pays a minimum Death
Benefit, called the "Face Amount." The actual Death Benefit may be larger than
the Face Amount if the underlying funds of the policy perform well.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS -- Your policy offers a choice of investment options. You
may transfer money among your investment options, subject to the restrictions
described in this prospectus and the funds' prospectuses.
SURRENDERS -- At any time, you may surrender all or part of your policy.
Each year you may surrender the greater of up to 10% of your premium payments or
100% of your Account Value minus premiums paid without being charged a surrender
charge. (See "Risks of Your Policy" below)
LOANS -- You can take a loan on the policy. Your policy provides for two
types of cash loans. Your policy secures the loans. Loans may not exceed 90% of
the policy's cash value.
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS -- You may choose to receive surrender or death benefit
proceeds over a period of time by using one of our settlement options.
WHAT DOES YOUR PREMIUM PAYMENT PAY FOR?
Your premium payment pays for insurance coverage, it acts as an investment
in the Sub-Accounts, and it pays for sales charges, premium taxes and
administrative fees.
RISKS OF YOUR POLICY
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE -- The value of your policy will fluctuate with the
performance of its underlying funds. Your investment options may decline in
value, or they may not perform to your expectations. Your policy values in the
Sub-Accounts are not guaranteed.
UNSUITABLE FOR SHORT-TERM SAVINGS -- The policy is designed for long term
financial planning. You should not purchase the policy if you will need your
premium payment in a short time.
RISK OF LAPSE -- Your policy could terminate if the value of the policy
becomes so low that it cannot support the policy's monthly charges and fees. If
this occurs, we will notify you in writing. You will then have a 61-day grace
period to pay additional amounts to prevent the policy from terminating.
LOANS -- Taking a loan from your policy may increase the risk that your
policy will terminate, may have a permanent effect on the policy's Account
Value, and may reduce the death benefit proceeds.
SURRENDER AND PARTIAL SURRENDERS -- You may have to pay tax on the money you
take out and, if you take money out before you are 59 1/2 you may have to pay a
federal income tax penalty.
TRANSFER LIMITATIONS -- We reserve the right to limit the size of transfers
and to limit the number and frequency of transfers among your investment
options.
ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES -- Under current tax law, your Beneficiaries will
receive the Death Benefit free of federal income tax. However, you may be
required to pay federal income tax if you receive any loans, surrenders or other
amounts from the policy, and you may also be subject to a 10% federal income
penalty tax if you take money out prior to age 59 1/2.

The Sub-Accounts are subdivisions of our separate account, called Separate
Account Five. The Separate Account was established to keep your life insurance
policy assets separate from our company assets. The investment performance of
the Separate Account is independent from the investment performance of
Hartford's other assets. Hartford's other assets are utilized to pay our
insurance obligations under the policy. Your assets in the Separate Account are
held exclusively for your benefit and the

benefit of other policy owners and may not be used for any other liability of
Hartford. Separate Account Five was established on July 25, 1994 under the laws
of Connecticut.
THE FUNDS
All of the Funds are sponsored and administered by Hartford Life Insurance
Company. HL Investment Advisors, LLC ("HL Advisors") serves as the investment

investment company. The shares of each Fund have been divided into Class IA and

We do not guarantee the investment results of any of the underlying Funds.

to different risks. These risks and the Funds' expenses are more fully described

conjunction with this Prospectus before investing.
The Funds may not be available in all states.

MIXED AND SHARED FUNDING -- Shares of the Funds may be sold to our other
separate accounts and our insurance company affiliates or other unaffiliated
insurance companies to serve as the underlying investment for both variable
annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, a practice known as
"mixed and shared funding." As a result, there is a possibility that a material
conflict may arise between the interests of policy owners, owners of other
policies or owners of variable annuity contracts with values allocated to one or
more of these other separate accounts investing in any one of the Funds. In the
event of any such material conflicts, we will consider what action may be
appropriate, including removing the Fund from the Separate Account or replacing
the Fund with another underlying fund. There are certain risks associated with
mixed and shared funding, as disclosed in the Funds' prospectus.
VOTING RIGHTS -- We are the legal owners of all Fund shares held in the
Separate Account and we have the right to vote at the Fund's shareholder
meetings. To the extent required by federal securities laws or regulations, we
will:
- - Notify you of any Fund shareholders' meeting if the shares held for your
policy may be voted.
- - Send proxy materials and a form of instructions that you can use to tell us
how to vote the Fund shares held for your policy.
- - Arrange for the handling and tallying of proxies received from policy owners.
- - Vote all Fund shares attributable to your policy according to instructions
received from you, and
- - Vote all Fund shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same
proportion as shares for which instructions have been received.
If any federal securities laws or regulations, or their present
interpretation, change to permit us to vote Fund shares on our own, we may
decide to do so. You may attend any Shareholder Meeting at which shares held for
your policy may be voted. After we begin to make annuity payouts to you, the
number of votes you have will decrease.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
The deductions or charges associated with this policy are subtracted,
depending on the type of deduction or charge, from premium payments as they are
made, upon surrender or partial surrender of the policy, on the Policy
Anniversary Date or on a monthly pro rated basis from each Sub-Account
("Deduction Amount").
Deductions are taken from premium payments before allocations to the
Sub-Accounts are made.
Deduction Amounts are subtracted on the Policy Date and on each Monthly
Activity Date after the Policy Date to cover charges and expenses incurred in
connection with a policy.
Each Deduction Amount will be subtracted pro rata from each Sub-Account so
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 "Lapse and Reinstatement".
The deductions and charges associated with your policy are listed below.
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. The
guaranteed cost of insurance charge is a guaranteed maximum monthly rate,
multiplied by the Coverage
<PAGE>
8 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amount on the Policy Date or any Monthly Activity Date. A table of guaranteed
maximum 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. For standard risks, the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rate is 100%
of the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Unismoker, Sex Distinct Age Last
Birthday Mortality Table (1980 CSO Table). Substandard risks will be assessed a
higher guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rate that will not exceed rates
based on a multiple of the 1980 CSO Table. The multiple will be based on the
insured's substandard rating. Unisex rates may be required in some states.
Your Coverage Amount is first set on the date we issue your policy and then
on each Monthly Activity Date. The Coverage Amount is the Face Amount minus the
Account Value. There is a Minimum Coverage Amount. It is a stated percentage of
the Account Value of the policy determined on each Monthly Activity Date. The
percentages vary according to the attained age of the Insured.
EXAMPLE:
Face Amount = $100,000
Account Value on the Monthly Activity Date = $30,000
Insured's attained age = 40
Minimum Coverage Amount percentage for age 40 = 150%
On the Monthly Activity Date, the Coverage Amount is $70,000. This is
calculated by subtracting the Account Value on the Monthly Activity Date
($30,000) from the Face Amount ($100,000), subject to a possible Minimum
Coverage Amount adjustment. This Minimum Coverage Amount is determined by taking
a percentage of the Account Value on the Monthly Activity Date. In this case,
the Minimum Coverage Amount is $45,000 (150% of $30,000). Since $45,000 is less
than the Face Amount less the Account Value ($70,000), no adjustment is
necessary. Therefore, the Coverage Amount will be $70,000.
Assume that the Account Value in the above example was $50,000. The Minimum
Coverage Amount would be $75,000 (150% of $50,000). Since this is greater than
the Face Amount less the Account Value ($50,000), the Coverage Amount for the
Policy Month is $75,000. (For an explanation of the Death Benefit, see "Death
Benefit and Policy Values".)
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.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE -- For assuming mortality and expense
risks under the policy, we deduct monthly from Sub-Account Value a charge equal
to an annual rate of 0.90%. The mortality and expense risk charge is broken into
charges for mortality risks and for expense risks:
MORTALITY RISK -- The mortality risk we assume is that the cost of insurance
charges specified in the policy will be insufficient to pay claims. We also
assume a risk that the Death Proceeds will exceed: (1) the Coverage Amount on
the date of death; and (2) your policy's Account Value on the date we receive
written notice of death.
EXPENSE RISK -- The expense risk we assume is that expenses we incur in
issuing and administering your policy will exceed the administrative charges.
We may profit from the mortality and expense risk charge and may use any
profits for any proper purpose, including any difference between the cost we
incur in distributing the policies and the proceeds of the Surrender Charge. The
mortality and expense risk charge is deducted while the policy is in force,
including the duration of a settlement option.
TAX EXPENSE CHARGE -- During the first ten years of your policy, we deduct a
monthly charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% from your Account Value. This
tax expense charge compensates us for certain expenses including:
(1) Premium taxes imposed by various states and local jurisdictions.
A premium tax deduction of 0.25% of the Account Value is deducted over ten
Policy Years and approximates our average expenses for state and local premium
taxes. 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, we do not expect to make
a profit from this deduction.
(2) The cost of the capitalization of certain policy acquisition expenses under
Section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code.
During your first ten Policy Years, we deduct a charge of 0.15% of Account
Value. This charge helps reimburse us for the approximate expenses we incur from
federal taxes we pay under Section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code.
UNAMORTIZED TAX CHARGE -- During the first nine Policy Years, an Unamortized
Tax charge is imposed on surrender or partial surrenders. The Unamortized Tax
charge is shown
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 9
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
below, as a percentage of amount surrendered, during each Policy Year:

7 0.75%
8 0.50%
9 0.25%
10+ 0.00%
</TABLE>
After the ninth Policy Year, no Unamortized Tax charge will be imposed.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE -- The annual maintenance fee is a flat fee that is
deducted from your Account Value to reimburse us for expenses relating to the
maintenance of the policy. The annual $30 charge is deducted on a Policy
Anniversary or when the policy is fully surrendered if the Account Value at
either of those times is less than $50,000. We reserve the right to waive the
annual maintenance fee under other conditions.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE -- We will deduct a monthly administrative charge from
Sub-Account Value equal to an annual rate of 0.25%. This charge compensates us
for expenses incurred in the administration of the Separate Account and the
policy.
SURRENDER CHARGE -- We may charge you a Surrender Charge when you surrender
amounts invested in your policy. We assess a Surrender Charge on amounts
surrendered in any Policy Year that exceed the greater of 10% of the premiums
you have paid into your policy or 100% of your Account Value minus premiums
paid. If the amount you paid has been in your policy:
X For Policy Years 1, 2 and 3, the charge is 7.5%.
X For Policy Years 4 and 5, the charge is 6%.
X For Policy Years 6 and 7, the charge is 4%.
X For Policy Years 8 and 9, the charge is 2%.
X For Policy Years 10 and beyond, the charge is 0%.
In determining the Surrender Charge, any surrender or partial surrender
during the first ten Policy Years will first come from premiums paid and then
from earnings. If an amount equal to all premiums paid has been withdrawn, no
Surrender Charge will be assessed on the remaining Account Value.
The Surrender Charge is imposed to cover a portion of the sales expense
incurred by us in distributing the Policies. This expense includes commissions,
advertising and the printing of prospectuses.
CHARGES AGAINST THE FUNDS -- The Separate Account purchases shares of the
Funds at net asset value. The net asset value of the Fund shares reflects
investment advisory fees and administrative expenses already deducted from the
assets of the Funds. These charges are described in the Funds' prospectuses
accompanying this Prospectus.
YOUR POLICY
POLICY RIGHTS
POLICY OWNER, OR "YOU" -- As long as your policy is in force, you may
exercise all rights under the policy while the Insured is alive and a
beneficiary has not been irrevocably named.
BENEFICIARY -- You name the beneficiary in the application for the policy.
You may change the beneficiary (unless irrevocably named) during the Insured's
lifetime by written request to us. 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
You may assign your policy as collateral for a loan or other obligation.
Until you notify us in writing, we are not responsible for any payment made or
action taken. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment.
STATEMENTS TO POLICY OWNERS -- We will send you a statement at least once
each year, showing:
(a) the current Account Value, Cash Surrender Value and Face Amount;
(b) the premiums paid, monthly deduction amounts and any loans since your last
statement;
(c) the amount of any Indebtedness;
(d) any notifications required by the provisions of your policy; and
(e) any other information required by the Insurance Department of the state
where your policy was delivered.
LIMIT ON RIGHT TO CONTEST -- During the Insured's lifetime, we may not
contest the validity of the policy after it has been in force for two years from
the date we issue the policy. 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 payment is contestable for two years from its effective
date. In addition,
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if the Insured commits suicide within two years from the date we issue the
policy, or such period as specified in state law, the benefit payable will be
limited to the Account Value minus 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.
POLICY LIMITATIONS
DIVIDENDS -- No dividends will be paid under the policy.
TRANSFERS OF ACCOUNT VALUE -- While the policy remains in force, and subject
to our transfer rules then in effect, you may request that part or all of the
Account Value of a particular Sub-Account be transferred to other Sub-Accounts.
We reserve the right to restrict the number of these 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 us toll free
1-800-231-5453. Transfers by telephone may be made by the agent of record or by
an attorney-in-fact pursuant to a power of attorney. Telephone transfers may not
be permitted in some states. Hartford, its agents or affiliates will not be
responsible for losses resulting from acting upon telephone requests reasonably
believed to be genuine. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that
instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. The procedures we follow for
transactions initiated by telephone include requirements that callers provide
certain information for identification purposes. All transfer instructions
received by telephone are tape-recorded. We will send you a confirmation of the
transfer within five days from the date of any transfer.
It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of all confirmations and to
promptly advise us of any inaccuracies within 30 days of receipt.
CHANGES TO POLICY OR SEPARATE ACCOUNT
SUBSTITUTIONS, ADDITIONS, OR DELETIONS OF FUNDS -- We reserve the right,
subject to any applicable law, to make certain changes to the Funds offered
under your policy. We may, in our sole discretion, establish new Funds. New
Funds will be will be made available to existing policyholders as we determine
appropriate. We may also close one or more Funds to additional payments or
transfers from existing Sub-Accounts.
We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any of the Funds for any
reason and to substitute shares of another registered investment company for the
shares of any Fund already purchased or to be purchased in the future by the
Separate Account. To the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the "1940 Act"), substitutions of shares attributable to your interest in a
Fund will not be made until we have the approval of the Commission and we have
notified you of the change.
In the event of any change, we may, by appropriate endorsement, make any
changes in the policy necessary or appropriate to reflect the modification. If
we decide that it is in the best interest contracts owners, the Separate Account
may be operated as a management company under the 1940 Act or any other form
permitted by law, may be de-registered under the 1940 Act in the event such
registration is no longer required, or may be combined with one or more other
Separate Accounts.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT TAXES -- Currently, there is no charge for federal income
taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account. However, we reserve the
right to make such a charge in the future. Charges for other taxes, if any,
attributable to the Separate Account may also be made.
OTHER BENEFITS OF YOUR POLICY
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 policy 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 "Statement of
Additional Information."
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. The younger Insured's attained age is used to calculate the Minimum Death
Benefit to ensure that the policy continues to qualify as life insurance.
6. Additional tax disclosures applicable to last survivor policies are provided
in "Federal Tax Considerations."

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PREMIUMS
APPLICATION FOR A POLICY -- To purchase a policy you must submit an
application to us. A policy will be issued only on the lives of Insureds age 90
and under who supply evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Acceptance is
subject to our underwriting rules and we reserve the right to reject an
application for any reason. If your application for a policy is rejected, then
your initial premium payment will be returned along with an additional amount
for interest, based on the current rate being credited by us. Other than those
described in this prospectus, no change in the terms or conditions of a policy
will be made without your consent. Generally, the minimum initial premium we
accept is $10,000. We may accept less than $10,000 under certain circumstances.
Your policy is effective after we receive all outstanding delivery
requirements and receive your initial premium. The date your policy becomes
effective is called the Policy Date. This date is the date used to determine all
future cyclical transactions on your policy. The Policy Date may be prior to, or
the same as, the date your policy is issued ("Issue Date").
If your Coverage Amount is over then current limits established by us, we
will not accept your initial premium payment with your application. In other
cases where we receive the initial payment with the application, we will provide
fixed conditional insurance during underwriting according to the terms of
conditional receipt established by us. 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, then on policy delivery we will require a
sufficient payment to place the insurance in force.
PREMIUM PAYMENTS -- You pay a single premium and, subject to restrictions,
additional premiums. You may choose a minimum initial premium of 80%, 90% or
100% of the Guideline Single Premium (based on the Face Amount).
UNDERWRITING RULES OF YOUR POLICY
- - Under current underwriting rules, which are subject to change, if you are
between ages 35 and 80, you may be eligible for simplified underwriting
without a medical examination if you meet simplified underwriting standards.
- - If you are below age 35 or above age 80, or do not meet simplified
underwriting eligibility, full underwriting applies, except that substandard
underwriting applies only in those cases that represent substandard risks
according to customary underwriting guidelines.
Your policy allows for additional premium payments so long as the additional
premiums do not cause the policy to fail to meet the definition of a life
insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Code. The amount and frequency of
additional premium payments will affect the Cash Value and the amount and
duration of insurance. We may require evidence of insurability for any
additional premiums that increase the Coverage Amount. Premiums, which do not
meet the tax qualification guidelines for life insurance under the Internal
Revenue Code, will not be applied to your policy.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS -- Within three business days of receipt of your
completed application and your initial premium payment at our Home Office, we
allocate your entire premium payment to the Money Market Sub-Account.
We will then allocate the Account Value in the Money Market Sub-Account to
the Sub-Accounts according to the premium allocations you specify in your policy
application. The allocation is made upon the expiration of the right to examine
policy period, or the date we receive the final requirement to put the policy in
force, whichever is later.
ACCUMULATION UNITS -- The premiums you allocate to the Sub-Accounts are used
to purchase Accumulation Units in such Sub-Accounts. We determine the number of
Accumulation Units of each Sub-Account by dividing the amount of premium you
have allocated to the Sub-Account by the accumulation unit value of that
particular Sub-Account.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES -- The accumulation unit value for each Sub-Account
varies to reflect the investment experience of the applicable underlying Fund.
To determine the current accumulation unit value, we take the prior Valuation
Day's accumulation unit value and multiply it by the Net Investment Factor for
the Valuation Period then ended.
The Net Investment Factor is used to measure the investment performance of a
Sub-Account from one Valuation Day to the next. The Net Investment Factor for
each Sub-Account equals:
- - The net asset value per share of each Fund held in the Sub-Account at the end
of the current Valuation Period; divided by
- - The net asset value per share of each Fund held in the Sub-Account at the
beginning of the Valuation Period.
You should refer to the Funds' prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus for
a description of how the assets of each Fund are valued, since these
determinations have a direct bearing on the Accumulation Unit Value of the Sub-
Account and therefore the Account Value of a policy.
<PAGE>
12 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All valuations in connection with a policy, will be made on the date your
request or payment is received by us before the close of the New York Stock
Exchange on any Valuation Day at our Home Office. Otherwise a valuation will be
made on the next date which is a Valuation Day.
ACCOUNT VALUE -- Each policy has an Account Value. There is no minimum
guaranteed Account Value. A policy's Account Value equals the policy's value in
all of the Sub-Accounts and any amounts in the Loan Account.
The Account Value of your policy is related to the net asset value of the
Funds to which your have allocated your premiums. The Account Value on any
Valuation Day is calculated by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units by
the Accumulation Unit Value and then totaling the results for all the
Sub-Accounts. The Account Value of a policy changes on a daily basis and is
computed on each Valuation Day. Therefore, your Account Value varies to reflect
the investment performance of the underlying Funds, the value of the Loan
Account and the monthly Deduction Amounts.
SUSPENSION OF VALUATION, PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS -- We will suspend all
procedures requiring valuation (including transfers, surrenders and loans) when:
(a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed;
(b) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted by the SEC;
(c) the SEC permits and orders postponement; or
(d) the SEC determines that an emergency exists to restrict valuation.
DEATH BENEFITS AND
POLICY VALUES
DEATH BENEFIT -- While in force, your policy provides for the payment of the
Death Proceeds to the beneficiary when the Insured under the policy dies. You
must notify us in writing as soon as possible after the death of the Insured.
The Death Proceeds payable to the beneficiary equal the Death Benefit less any
loans outstanding.
We will pay interest of at least 3 1/2% per year on the Death Proceeds from
the date of the Insured's death to the date payment is made or a settlement
option is elected. At such times, the proceeds are not subject to the investment
experience of the Separate Account.
The Death Benefit equals the greater of:
(1) the Face Amount; or
(2) the Account Value multiplied by a specified percentage.
The percentage varies according to the attained age of the Insured and is
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. This is illustrated in the following examples:
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 we would pay to the
beneficiary.
In Example B, the death benefit is $100,000, i.e., the greater of $100,000
(the Face Amount) or $85,000 (the Account Value of $34,000, multiplied by the
specified percentage of 250%).
DEATH BENEFIT POLICY PROCEEDS -- Proceeds from the Death Benefit left with
us 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 surrenders may
be made at any time.
All or part of the Death Proceeds may be paid in cash or applied under a
Settlement Option.
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS -- The surrender proceeds or Death Proceeds under your
policy may be paid in a lump sum or may be applied to one of our settlement
options. The minimum amount that may be applied under a settlement option is
$5,000, unless we consent to a lesser amount. UNDER SETTLEMENTS OPTIONS LIFE
ANNUITY, LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120,180, OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN AND JOINT
AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY, NO SURRENDER OR PARTIAL SURRENDERS ARE PERMITTED
AFTER PAYMENTS START. FULL SURRENDER OR PARTIAL SURRENDERS MAY BE MADE FROM THE
INTEREST INCOME SETTLEMENT OPTION, PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD SETTLEMENT
OPTION OR THE DEATH BENEFIT POLICY PROCEEDS, BUT THEY ARE SUBJECT TO THE
SURRENDER CHARGE, IF APPLICABLE. THERE MAY BE ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR
PARTIAL SURRENDERS FROM PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD SETTLEMENT OPTION.
PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR TAX ADVISOR BEFORE REQUESTING A PARTIAL SURRENDER.
The following settlement options are available under your policy:
OPTION 1 -- INTEREST INCOME -- This option offers payments of interest, at
the rate we declare, on the amount
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
applied under this settlement option. The interest rate will never be less than
3 1/2% per year.
OPTION 2 -- LIFE ANNUITY -- Death Proceeds are used to purchase a variable
annuity where we make annuity payments as long as the annuitant is living. When
the annuitant dies, we stop making annuity payments. A payee would receive only
one annuity payment if the annuitant dies after the first payment, two annuity
payments if the annuitant dies after the second payment, and so forth.
OPTION 3 -- LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120, 180 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN -- We
make monthly annuity payments during the lifetime of the annuitant but annuity
payments are at least guaranteed for a minimum of 120, 180 or 240 months, as you
elect. If, at the death of the annuitant, annuity payments have been made for
less than the minimum elected number of months, then the beneficiary can either
receive the present value (as of the date of the annuitant's death) of the
remaining payments in one sum or continue annuity payments for the remaining
period certain.
OPTION 4 -- JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY -- We will make annuity
payments as long as the annuitant and joint annuitant are living. When one
annuitant dies, we continue to make annuity payments until that second annuitant
dies. The annuitant may elect that the payment be less than the payment made
during the joint lifetime of the annuitants. When choosing this option, you must
decide what will happen to the annuity payments after the first annuitant dies.
Under this option, it is possible for an annuitant and joint annuitant to
receive only one payment in the event of the common or simultaneous death of the
annuitants prior to the date of the second payment.
OPTION 5 -- PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD -- We will make annuity
payments for the number of years that you select. You can select between 5 years
and 30 years. Under this option, you may, at any time, request a full surrender
and receive the Cash Surrender Value of your policy.
VARIABLE AND FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS -- When the settlement option you select
involves an annuity, unless you specify otherwise, the surrender proceeds or
Death Proceeds provide a variable annuity. Fixed annuity options are also
available.
VARIABLE ANNUITY -- Your policy contains tables indicating the minimum
dollar amount of the first monthly payment under a variable annuity for each
$1,000 of value of a Sub-Account. Your first monthly payment varies with the
annuity option chosen and specific parameters chosen by you. 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 assumed investment rate is the investment return
used to calculate subsequent variable annuity payments.
We determine the total first monthly variable annuity payment by multiplying
the Death Proceeds (expressed in thousands of dollars) in 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 your first monthly variable annuity payment is divided by the
value of an annuity unit 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. This determines 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 assumed investment rate. Payments will vary
up or down as the investment rate varies up or down relative to the assumed
investment rate.
FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS -- You will receive equal fixed annuity payments
throughout the annuity payment period. We determine fixed annuity payment
amounts by multiplying the amount applied to the annuity by an annuity rate. The
annuity rate is set by us and is not less than the rate specified in the fixed
payment annuity tables in your policy.
Hartford will make any other arrangements for income payments as may be
agreed on.
BENEFITS AT MATURITY -- 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 us, we will pay you the Cash Surrender Value. In such case, the
policy will terminate and we 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."
CHARGES AND POLICY VALUES -- Your policy value decreases due to the
deduction of policy charges. Policy value may increase or decrease depending on
investment performance. Fluctuations in your Account Value may have an effect on
your Death Benefit. If your policy lapses, your policy terminates and no Death
Benefit will be paid.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAKING WITHDRAWALS FROM
YOUR POLICY
SURRENDERS -- While your policy is in force, you may, without the consent of
the beneficiary (provided the designation of beneficiary is not irrevocable),
fully surrender your policy. Upon surrender, you receive the Cash Surrender
Value determined as of the day we receive your request or the date requested by
you, whichever is later. The Cash Surrender Value equals the Account Value less
any Surrender Charges and any Unamortized Tax charge and all Indebtedness. We
pay the Cash Surrender Value of the policy within seven days of our receipt of
your written request or on the effective surrender date requested by you,
whichever is later. Your policy will terminate on the date of our receipt of the
written request, or the date you request the surrender to be effective,
whichever is later. For a discussion of the tax consequences of surrendering
your policy, see "Federal Tax Considerations".
If you choose to apply the surrender proceeds to a settlement option, the
Surrender 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 Surrender Charge. However, any Unamortized Tax
charge, if applicable, will be deducted from the surrender proceeds to be
applied. In addition, amounts you withdraw from the Interest Income settlement
option, the Payments for a Designated Period settlement option or the Death
Benefit Policy Proceeds are subject to any applicable Surrender Charge.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS -- While your policy is in force, you may elect, by
written request, to make partial surrenders from the Cash Surrender Value. The
Cash Surrender Value, after partial surrender, must at least equal our minimum
amount rules then in effect; otherwise, the request will be treated as a request
for full surrender. The partial surrenders will be deducted pro rata from each
Sub-Account, unless the you instruct otherwise. The Face Amount will be reduced
proportionate to the reduction in the Account Value due to the partial
surrender. Partial surrenders in excess of the greater of 10% of premiums or
100% of Account Value less premiums paid will be subject to the Surrender Charge
and any Unamortized Tax charges. For a discussion of the tax consequences of
partial surrenders, see "Federal Tax Considerations".
RIGHT TO EXAMINE -- You have a limited right to return your policy for
cancellation. You may deliver or mail the policy to us or to the agent from whom
it was purchased any time during your free look period. Your free look period
begins on the day you get your policy and ends ten days after you get it (or
longer in some states). In such event, the policy will be rescinded and we will
pay an amount equal to the greater of the premiums paid for the policy less any
Indebtedness or the sum of: i) the Account Value less any Indebtedness, on the
date the returned policy is received by us or the agent from whom it was
purchased; and, ii)any deductions under the policy or charges associated with
the Separate Account. If your policy is replacing another policy, your free look
period and the amount paid to you upon the return of your policy vary by state.
RIGHT TO EXCHANGE -- 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 policy offered by us (or an affiliated
company) on the life of the Insured. No evidence of insurability will be
required. The new policy will have, at your election, 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. The exchange is subject to adjustments in payments and
Account Values to reflect variances, if any, in the payments and Account Values
under this policy and the new policy.
LOANS
AVAILABILITY OF LOANS -- At any time while the policy is in force, you,
without the consent of the beneficiary, (provided the designation of beneficiary
is not irrevocable) may borrow against the policy by assigning it as sole
security to us. Two types of cash loans are available. Any new loan taken
together with any existing Indebtedness may not exceed 90% of the Cash Value.
The minimum loan amount that we will allow is $25.00.
The proceeds of a loan will be delivered to you within seven business days
of our receipt of the loan request.
Unless you specify otherwise, all loan amounts will be transferred pro rata
basis from each Sub-Account to the Loan Account. The difference between the
value of the Loan Account and the Indebtedness will be transferred on a pro-rata
basis from the Sub-Accounts to the Loan Account on each Monthly Activity Date.
If total Indebtedness equals or exceeds the Account Value of the policy on
any Monthly Activity Date, we will give you written notice that, unless we
receive an additional payment within 61 days to reduce the aggregate outstanding
loan(s) secured by the policy, the policy may lapse. See "Lapse and
Reinstatement."
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."
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 15
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOAN REPAYMENTS -- You can repay all or any part of a loan at any time while
your policy is in force. The amount of your policy loan repayment will be
deducted from the Loan Account. It will be allocated among the Sub-Accounts in
the same percentage as premiums are allocated. Any outstanding loan at the end
of a grace period must be repaid before the policy will be reinstated.
EFFECT OF LOANS ON ACCOUNT VALUE -- A loan, whether or not repaid, has a
permanent effect on your Account Value. This effect occurs because the
investment result of each Sub-Account applies only to the amount remaining in
such Sub-Accounts. The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect on
your Account Value 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, your Account Value will not increase as
rapidly as it would have had no loan been made. If the Sub-Accounts earn less
than the Loan Account, then your Account Value will be greater than it would
have been had no loan been made. If not repaid, the aggregate amount of the
outstanding Indebtedness will reduce the Death Proceeds and the Cash Surrender
Value otherwise payable. For a discussion of the consequences of obtaining a
loan against the policy see "Federal Tax Considerations."
CREDITED INTEREST -- Any amounts in the Loan Account will be credited with
interest at an annual rate of 4.0%. The annual rate for Preferred Loans is 6%.
POLICY LOAN RATES -- The loan interest rate that we will charge on all loans
is 6% per annum.
LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
LAPSE -- Your policy will remain in force until the Cash Surrender Value is
insufficient to cover the Deduction Amount due on a Monthly Activity Date. We
will notify you of the default in writing, warning you that your policy is in
danger of terminating.
GRACE PERIOD -- Your policy provides a 61-day 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 "Death Benefits and Policy Values."
REINSTATEMENT -- If your policy lapses, you may apply for reinstatement of
the policy by payment of the reinstatement premium shown in the policy and any
applicable charges. A request for reinstatement may be made within five years of
lapse. If a loan is outstanding at the time of lapse, we require repayment of
the loan before permitting reinstatement. In addition, we reserve the right to
require evidence of insurability satisfactory to Hartford.
The Account Value on the reinstatement date will reflect:
(a) the Cash Value at the time of termination; plus
(b) Net Premiums derived from premiums paid at the time of reinstatement; minus
(c) the Monthly Deduction Amounts that were due and unpaid during the Policy
Grace Period; plus
(d) the Surrender Charge at the time of reinstatement.
The surrender charge is based on the duration from the original policy date
as through the policy has never lapsed.
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL
Since federal tax law is complex, the tax consequences of purchasing this
policy will vary depending on your situation. You may need tax or legal advice
to help you determine whether purchasing this policy is right for you.
Our general discussion of the tax treatment of this policy is based on our
understanding of federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. A
detailed description of all federal income tax consequences regarding the
purchase of this policy cannot be made in the prospectus. We also do not discuss
state, municipal or other tax laws that may apply to this policy. For detailed
information, you should consult with a qualified tax adviser familiar with your
situation.
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 "Premiums - Account Value"). As a result, such
investment income and realized capital gains are automatically applied to
increase reserves under the Policy.
<PAGE>
16 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Policy 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.
A contract that is classified as modified endowment contract is eligible for
certain aspects of 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 policy (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 includable 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 includable
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 $650,000 (1999)
from the estate and gift tax. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 gradually raises
the credit over the next seven years to $1,000,000. In addition, an unlimited
marital deduction may be available for federal
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, as adjusted for inflation. 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
The Code requires that investments supporting your policy be adequately
diversified. Code Section 817 provides that a variable life insurance contract
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. If a contract is not treated as a life insurance contract, the
policy owner will be subject to income tax on annual increases in cash value.
The Treasury Department's diversification regulations 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 the
case of government securities, each government agency or instrumentality is
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 still comply within a reasonable period and avoid
the taxation of contract 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.
We monitor the diversification of investments in the separate accounts and
test for diversification as required by the Code. We intend to administer all
policies 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 separate accounts supporting the contract must be considered to be
owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. It is unclear under
what circumstances an investor is considered to have enough control over the
assets in the separate account to be considered the owner of the assets for tax
purposes.
The IRS has issued several rulings discussing investor control. These
rulings say that certain incidents of ownership by the policy owner, such as the
ability to select and control investments in a separate account, will cause the
policy owner to be treated as the owner of the assets for tax purposes.
In its explanation of the diversification regulations, the Treasury
Department recognized 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, guidance has
yet to be issued. We do not know if additional guidance will be issued. If
guidance is issued, we do not know if it will have a retroactive effect.
Due to the lack of specific guidance on investor control, there is some
uncertainty about when a policy owner is considered the owner of the assets for
tax purposes. We reserve the right to modify the policy, as necessary, to
prevent you from being considered the owner of assets in the separate account.
TAX DEFERRAL DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD
Under existing provisions of the Code, except as described below, any
increase in an Owner's Investment Value is generally not taxable to the Policy
Owner unless amounts are received (or are deemed to be received) under
<PAGE>
18 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Policy prior to the Insured's death. If the Policy is surrendered or
matures, the amount received will be includable in the Policy Owner's income to
the extent that it exceeds the Policy Owner's "investment in the contract." (If
there is any debt at the time of a surrender, then such debt will be treated as
an amount distributed to the Owner.) The "investment in the contract" is the
aggregate amount of premium payments and other consideration paid for the
Policy, less the aggregate amount received previously under the Policy to the
extent such amounts received were excluded from gross income. Since this Policy
is a modified endowment contract, partial withdrawals (or other such amounts
deemed to be distributed) from the Policy constitute income to the Policy Owner
for Federal income tax purposes.
LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASED FOR USE
IN SPLIT DOLLAR ARRANGEMENTS
On January 26, 1996, the IRS released a technical advice memorandum ("TAM")
on the taxability of life insurance policies used in certain split dollar
arrangements. A TAM, issued by the National Office of the IRS, provides advice
as to the internal revenue laws, regulations, and related statutes with respect
to a specific set of facts and a specific taxpayer. In the TAM, among other
things, the IRS concluded that an employee was subject to current taxation on
the excess of the cash surrender value of the policy over the premiums to be
returned to the employer. Purchasers of life insurance policies to be used in
split dollar arrangements are strongly advised to consult with a qualified tax
adviser to determine the tax treatment resulting from such an arrangement.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
If any amounts are deemed to be current taxable income to the 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.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material legal proceedings pending to which the Separate
Account is a party.
OTHER MATTERS
LEGAL MATTERS -- Legal matters in connection with the issue and sale of
modified single premium variable life insurance Policies described in this
Prospectus and the organization of Hartford, its authority to issue the Policies
under Connecticut law and the validity of the forms of the Policies under
Connecticut law and legal matters relating to the federal securities and income
tax laws have been passed on by Lynda Godkin, Senior Vice President, General
Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Hartford.
YEAR 2000
IN GENERAL -- The Year 2000 issue relates to the ability or inability of
computer hardware, software and other information technology (IT) systems, as
well as non-IT systems, such as equipment and machinery with imbedded chips and
microprocessors, to properly process information and data containing or related
to dates beginning with the year 2000 and beyond. The Year 2000 issue exists
because, historically, many IT and non-IT systems that are in use today were
developed years ago when a year was identified using a two-digit date field
rather than a four-digit date field. As information and data containing or
related to the century date are introduced to date sensitive systems, these
systems may recognize the year 2000 as "1900", or not at all, which may result
in systems processing information incorrectly. This, in turn, may significantly
and adversely affect the integrity and reliability of information databases of
IT systems, may cause the malfunctioning of certain non-IT systems, and may
result in a wide variety of adverse consequences to a company. In addition, Year
2000 problems that occur with third parties with which a company does business,
such as
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 19
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
suppliers, computer vendors, distributors and others, may also adversely affect
any given company.
The integrity and reliability of Hartford's IT systems, as well as the
reliability of its non-IT systems, are integral aspects of Hartford's business.
Hartford issues insurance policies, annuities, mutual funds and other financial
products to individual and business customers, nearly all of which contain date
sensitive data, such as policy expiration dates, birth dates and premium payment
dates. In addition, various IT systems support communications and other systems
that integrate Hartford's various business segments and field offices. Hartford
also has business relationships with numerous third parties that affect
virtually all aspects of Hartford's business, including, without limitation,
suppliers, computer hardware and software vendors, insurance agents and brokers,
securities broker-dealers and other distributors of financial products, many of
which provide date sensitive data to Hartford, and whose operations are
important to Hartford's business.
INTERNAL YEAR 2000 EFFORTS AND TIMETABLE -- Beginning in 1990, Hartford
began working on making its IT systems Year 2000 ready, either through
installing new programs or replacing systems. Since January 1998, Hartford's
Year 2000 efforts have focused on the remaining Year 2000 issues related to IT
and non-IT systems in all of Hartford's business segments. These Year 2000
efforts include the following five main initiatives: (1) identifying and
assessing Year 2000 issues; (2) taking actions to remediate IT and non-IT
systems so that they are Year 2000 ready; (3) testing IT and non-IT systems for
Year 2000 readiness; (4) deploying such remediated and tested systems back into
their respective production environments; and (5) conducting internal and
external integrated testing of such systems. As of December 31, 1998, Hartford
substantially completed initiatives (1) through (4) of its internal Year 2000
efforts. Hartford has begun initiative (5) and management currently anticipates
that such activity will continue into the fourth quarter of 1999.
THIRD PARTY YEAR 2000 EFFORTS AND TIMETABLE -- Hartford's Year 2000 efforts
include assessing the potential impact on Hartford of third parties' Year 2000
readiness. Hartford's third party Year 2000 efforts include the following three
main initiatives: (1) identifying third parties which have significant business
relationships with Hartford, including, without limitation, insurance agents,
brokers, third party administrators, banks and other distributors and servicers
of financial products, and inquiring of such third parties regarding their Year
2000 readiness; (2) evaluating such third parties' responses to Hartford's
inquiries; and (3) based on the evaluation of third party responses (or a third
party's failure to respond) and the significance of the business relationship,
conducting additional activities with respect to third parties as determined to
be necessary in each case. These activities may include conducting additional
inquiries, more in-depth evaluations of Year 2000 readiness and plans, and
integrated IT systems testing. Hartford has completed the first third party
initiative and, as of early 1999, had substantially completed evaluating third
party responses received. Hartford has begun conducting the additional
activities described in initiative (3) and management currently anticipates that
it will continue to do so through the end of 1999. However, notwithstanding
these third party Year 2000 efforts, Hartford does not have control over these
third parties and, as a result, Hartford cannot currently determine to what
extent future operating results may be adversely affected by the failure of
these third parties to adequately address their Year 2000 issues.
YEAR 2000 COSTS -- The costs of Hartford's Year 2000 program that were
incurred through the year ended December 31, 1997 were not material to
Hartford's financial condition or results of operations. The after-tax costs of
Hartford's Year 2000 efforts for the year ended December 31, 1998 were
approximately $3 million. Management currently estimates that after-tax costs
related to the Year 2000 program to be incurred in 1999 will be less than $10
million. These costs are being expensed as incurred.
RISKS AND CONTINGENCY PLANS -- If significant Year 2000 problems arise,
including problems arising with third parties, failures of IT and non-IT systems
could occur, which in turn could result in substantial interruptions in
Hartford's business. In addition, Hartford's investing activities are an
important aspect of its business and Hartford may be exposed to the risk that
issuers of investments held by it will be adversely impacted by Year 2000
issues. Given the uncertain nature of Year 2000 problems that may arise,
especially those related to the readiness of third parties discussed above,
management cannot determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000
related problems that could arise will have a material impact on Hartford's
financial condition or results of operations.
Hartford is in the process of developing certain contingency plans so that
if, despite its Year 2000 efforts, Year 2000 problems ultimately arise, the
impact of such problems may be avoided or minimized. These contingency plans are
being developed based on, among other things, known or reasonably anticipated
circumstances and potential vulnerabilities. The contingency planning also
includes assessing the dependency of Hartford's business on third parties and
their Year 2000 readiness. Hartford currently anticipates that internal and
external contingency plans will be substantially complete by the end of the
second quarter of 1999. However, in many contexts, Year 2000 issues are dynamic,
and ongoing assessments of business functions, vulnerabilities and risks must be
made. As such, new contingency plans may be needed in the future and/or existing
plans may need to be modified as circumstances warrant.

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 Glossary of Special Terms section 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

of the Fixed Accumulation Feature plus the value of the Loan Account under the
policy.
The following definition is added:
FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE: 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 Accumulation Feature 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 "Separate Account Five":
THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE
THAT PORTION OF THE POLICY RELATING TO THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE IS NOT
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 ("1933 ACT") AND THE FIXED
ACCUMULATION FEATURE IS NOT REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 ("1940 ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED
ACCUMULATION FEATURE 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 ACCUMULATION FEATURE HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE STAFF OF THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE FIXED ACCUMULATION
FEATURE MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL
SECURITIES LAWS REGARDING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF DISCLOSURE.
Under the circumstances described under the heading "Transfer of Entire Account
Value to the Fixed Accumulation Feature." New York Policy Owners may transfer no
less than the entire Account Value to the Fixed Accumulation Feature. Account
Value transferred to the Fixed Accumulation Feature 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 Accumulation Feature 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 Accumulation Feature interest rate.
There is no specific formula for determining the interest credited to the
Account Value in the Fixed Accumulation Feature.
The following language is added to the section of the Prospectus entitled
"Charges and Deductions -- Administrative Charge":
No Administrative Charge is deducted from Sub-Account Value in the Fixed
Accumulation Feature.
The following language is added to the section of the Prospectus entitled
"Charges and Deductions -- Mortality and Expense Risk Charge":
No Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is deducted from Sub-Account Value in
the Fixed Accumulation Feature.
The following separate sections are added to the section of the Prospectus
entitled "Your Policy":
TRANSFER OF ENTIRE ACCOUNT VALUE TO THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE -- New
York Policy Owners may transfer no less than the entire Account Value into the
Fixed Accumulation Feature 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.
<PAGE>
22 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A TRANSFER TO THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE MUST BE FOR THE ENTIRE ACCOUNT
VALUE AND ONCE THE ACCOUNT VALUE HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE FIXED ACCUMULATION
FEATURE, 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 Accumulation
Feature, Hartford will transfer the entire Account Value from the Separate
Account to the Fixed Accumulation Feature on the Monthly Activity Date next
following the date on which Hartford received the transfer request. The Account
Value in the Fixed Accumulation Feature 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 Accumulation Feature and minus the
Annual Maintenance Fee, if applicable. On each subsequent Monthly Activity Date,
the Account Value in the Fixed Accumulation Feature 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 Accumulation
Feature; 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 Accumulation Feature 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
Accumulation Feature 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
Accumulation Feature Minimum Credited Interest Rate.

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.

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 Policies 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 affiliates of Hartford. The principal business address of
HESCO and HSD is the same as that of Hartford.
The following table shows officers and directors of HSD:

Robert A. Kerzner Executive Vice President
Lynda Godkin Senior Vice President, General Counsel
and Corporate Secretary, Director
Peter W. Cummins Senior Vice President
David T. Foy Treasurer
George R. Jay Controller
</TABLE>
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.
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 the 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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT CHARGES
UNDERWRITING PROCEDURES -- To purchase a policy you must submit an
application to us. Generally, the minimum initial premium we accept is $10,000.
A policy will be issued only on the lives of insureds age 90 and under who
supply evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Acceptance is subject to our
underwriting rules and we reserve the right to reject an application for any
reason. No change in the terms or conditions of a policy will be made without
your consent.
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. The
guaranteed cost of insurance charge is a guaranteed maximum monthly rate,
multiplied by the Coverage Amount on the Policy Date or any Monthly Activity
Date. A table of guaranteed maximum 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. For standard risks, the guaranteed maximum cost
of insurance rate is 100% of the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary
Unismoker, Sex Distinct Age Last Birthday Mortality Table (1980 CSO Table).
Substandard risks will be assessed a higher guaranteed maximum cost of insurance
rate that will not exceed rates based on a multiple of the 1980 CSO Table. The
multiple will be based on the insured's substandard rating. Unisex rates may be
required in some states.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 7
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS, ACCOUNT VALUES
AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES
The tables illustrate the way in which a Policy 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 preferred
Policy. The illustrations for the last survivor preferred Policy 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 Policy 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 Policy
Years. They would also differ if any Policy loan were made during the period of
time illustrated.
The tables reflect the deductions of current Policy charges and guaranteed
Policy 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 Policy Year take into account an average daily charge equal to an annual
charge of 0.62% 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 annual charge of 0.62% described above) of -0.62%,
5.38% and 11.38%, respectively.
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 "Changes to Policy or Separate Account -- Separate Account Taxes").
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 statements of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life Insurance Company Separate Account Five (Bond Fund, Stock Fund,
Money Market Fund, Advisers Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, Mortgage Securities
Fund, Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Dividend and Growth Fund,
International Advisers Fund, Small Company Fund, MidCap Fund, Growth and Income
Fund, Global Leaders Fund, and High Yield Fund) (collectively, the Account) as
of December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations and the
statements of changes in net assets for the periods presented. 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 Account as of December 31,
1998, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets
for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT FIVE
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
1. ORGANIZATION:
Separate Account Five (the Account) is a separate investment account within
Hartford Life Insurance Company (the Company) and is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Both the Company and the Account are
subject to supervision and regulation by the Department of Insurance of the
State of Connecticut and the SEC. The Account invests deposits by variable life
contractholders of the Company in various mutual funds (The Funds) as directed
by the contractholders.
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 is
accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains income represents those
dividends from the Funds which are characterized as capital gains under tax
regulations.
b) SECURITY VALUATION -- The investments 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, 1998.
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:
Deduction and Charges -- Certain amounts are deducted from the Contracts, as
described below:
a) COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE -- In accordance with terms of the contracts,
the Company makes deductions for costs of insurance to cover the Company's
anticipated mortality costs. Because a policy's account value and death benefit
may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may also vary.
b) MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES -- The Company will make deductions at
a maximum annual rate of 0.90% of the Contract's value for the mortality and
expense risks which the Company undertakes. These expenses are included in
surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying statements of
changes in net assets.
c) TAX EXPENSE CHARGE -- If applicable, the Company will make deductions at
a maximum rate of 4.0% of the Contract's value to meet premium tax requirements.
An additional tax charge based on a percentage of the Contract's value may be
assessed to partial withdrawals or surrenders. These expenses are included in
surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying statements of
changes in net assets.
d) ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE -- The Company will make deductions to cover
administrative expenses at a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the Contract's
value. These expenses are included in surrenders for benefit payments and fees
on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.
e) ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE -- An annual maintenance fee in the amount of $30
may be deducted from the Contract's value each contract year. However, this fee
is not applicable to contracts with values of $50,000 or more, as determined on
the most recent contract anniversary. These expenses are included in surrenders
for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying statements of changes in net
assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Hartford Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related Consolidated Statements of Income, Changes in Stockholder's Equity and
Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998.
These Consolidated Financial Statements and the schedules referred to below are
the responsibility of Hartford Life Insurance Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1998 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 the 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 ("Hartford Life Insurance Company" or
the "Company"), Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (ILA) and 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). Pursuant to an initial
public offering (the "IPO") on May 22, 1997, Hartford Life sold 26 million
shares of Class A Common Stock 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 outstanding promissory notes and line of credit with
the remaining $160 contributed by Hartford Life to HLA to support growth in its
core businesses. Hartford Life became a publicly traded company upon the sale of
26 million shares representing approximately 18.6% of the equity ownership in
Hartford Life. 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, HLA, the Company is a leading financial services and
insurance 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 disability insurance
that is directly written by the Company and is substantially ceded to its
parent, HLA, and (d) corporate owned life insurance.
2. SUMMARY OF 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 November 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on
Issue No. 98-15, "Structured Notes Acquired for a Specific Investment Strategy".
This EITF issue requires companies to account for structured notes acquired for
a specific investment strategy, as a unit. Affected companies that entered into
these notes prior to September 25, 1998 are required to either restate prior
period financial statements to conform with the prescribed unit accounting model
or disclose the related impact on earnings for all periods presented and
cumulatively over the life of the instruments had the registrant accounted for
the structure as a unit. Based upon recently prescribed current generally
accepted accounting principles for such types of transactions entered into after
September 24, 1998, there was no additional earnings impact to the Company
related to combined structured note transactions. As of December 31, 1998, the
Company does not hold any combined structured notes.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The new standard establishes
accounting and reporting guidance for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. The standard requires, among
other things, that all derivatives be carried on the balance sheet at fair
value. The standard also specifies hedge accounting criteria under which a
derivative can qualify for special accounting. In order to receive special
accounting, the derivative instrument must qualify as either
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES F-7
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a hedge of the fair value or the variability of the cash flow of a qualified
asset or liability. Special accounting for qualifying hedges provides for
matching the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with
the recognition of the corresponding changes in value of the hedged item. SFAS
No. 133 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
Initial application for Hartford Life Insurance Company will begin for the first
quarter of the year 2000. While Hartford Life Insurance Company is currently in
the process of quantifying the impact of SFAS No. 133, the Company is reviewing
its derivative holdings in order to take actions needed to minimize potential
volatility, while at the same time maintaining the economic protection needed to
support the goals of its business.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". The SOP provides
guidance on accounting for the costs of internal use software and in determining
whether the software is for internal use. The SOP defines internal use software
as software that is acquired, internally developed, or modified solely to meet
internal needs and identifies stages of software development and accounting for
the related costs incurred during the stages. This statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 and is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. The objective of this statement is to report a measure of
all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other
economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Comprehensive
income is the total of net income and all other nonowner changes in equity.
Accordingly, the Company has reported comprehensive income in the Consolidated
Statements of Changes in Stockholder's Equity.
In December 1997, the AICPA issued 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.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information". The new standard requires public
business enterprises to disclose certain financial and descriptive information
about reportable operating segments in annual financial statements and in
condensed financial statements of interim periods. Operating segments are
components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in
deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. SFAS No. 131 also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 in 1998.
For additional information, see Note 13.
On November 14, 1996, the 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 FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" which is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial 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. Adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1996, Hartford Life Insurance 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. 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 investment products and universal life-type policies consist of
policy charges for policy administration, cost of insurance and surrender
charges assessed to policy account balances and are recognized in the period in
which services are provided. Premiums for traditional life insurance policies
are recognized as revenues when they are due from policyholders.
<PAGE>
F-8 HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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.
Liabilities for universal life-type and investment contracts are stated at
policyholder account values before surrender charges.
(E) INVESTMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance 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 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. 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. Net realized capital gains
and losses, excluding those related to immediate participation guaranteed
contracts, 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 additional impairment, if necessary.
(F) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance 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. Hartford Life Insurance 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 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. For a discussion
of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
issued in June 1998, see (b) Changes in Accounting Principles.
Derivative instruments must be designated at inception as a hedge and
measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Hartford
Life Insurance Company's correlation threshold for hedge designation is 80% to
120%. If correlation, which is assessed monthly and measured based on a rolling
three month average, falls outside the 80% to 120% range, 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
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES F-9
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
(G) SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintains separate account assets and
liabilities which are reported at fair value. Separate account assets are
segregated from other investments. Separate accounts reflect two categories of
risk assumption: non-guaranteed separate accounts, wherein the policyholder
assumes the investment risk and rewards, and guaranteed separate account assets,
wherein the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account
value to the policyholder.
(H) 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, usually 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
charges, 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 for the books of business are
re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to income.
Acquisition costs and their related deferral are included in the Company's
other expenses as follows:

(I) DIVIDENDS TO POLICYHOLDERS
Certain life insurance policies contain dividend payment provisions that
enable the policyholder to participate in the earnings on that participating
block of business. The participating insurance in force accounted for 71%, 55%
and 44% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, of total insurance in force.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity investments as
of December 31, 1998 by estimated maturity year are shown below. Expected
maturities differ from contractual maturities due to call or prepayment
provisions. Asset backed securities, including mortgage backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations, 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, 1998, 1997 and 1996 resulted in proceeds of $3.2
billion, $4.2 billion and $3.5 billion, gross realized capital gains of $103,
$169 and $87, gross realized capital losses (including writedowns) of $131, $176
and $298, respectively. In 1996, gross realized capital losses includes an other
than temporary impairment of $137 related to the Company's block of guaranteed
investment contract business written prior to 1995 which could not recover to
amortized cost prior to sale. Sales of equity security investments for the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 resulted in proceeds of $35, $132 and $74
and gross realized capital gains of $21, $12 and $2, respectively, and no gross
realized capital losses for all periods.
(F) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk
in fixed maturities of a single issuer greater than 10% of stockholder's equity.
(G) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Hartford Life Insurance 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.
Hartford Life Insurance 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.
Hartford Life Insurance Company's derivative program is monitored by an
internal compliance unit and is reviewed by senior management and Hartford
Life's Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. 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 $6.2 billion and $6.5 billion ($3.9 billion and $4.6 billion related to
the Company's investments, $2.3 billion and $1.9 billion on the Company's
liabilities) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The tables below provide a summary of derivative instruments held by
Hartford Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, segregated by

(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, 1998 and 1997, approximately 5% and 44% ,
respectively, of the notional futures contracts expire within one year.
(3) As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, approximately 11% and 16%,
respectively, of foreign currency swaps expire within one year.
(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. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had no
deferred gains for interest rate swaps. During 1998, $1.5 in deferred gains were
basis adjusted.

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS 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. Hartford
Life Insurance Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating
the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
Fair value for fixed maturities and marketable equity securities
approximates those quotations published by applicable stock exchanges or
received from other reliable sources.
For policy loans, carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Fair value for other invested assets primarily consist of partnerships and
trusts that are based on external market valuations from partnership and trust
management as well as mortgage loans where carrying amounts approximate fair
value.
Other policyholder funds fair value information is determined by estimating
future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate.
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 periodic comparison to dealer quoted prices.
The carrying amount and fair values of Hartford Life Insurance Company's
financial instruments as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

5. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Hartford Life Insurance Company maintained separate account assets and
liabilities totaling $90.3 billion and $69.1 billion as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively, which are reported at fair value. Separate account assets,
which are segregated from other investments, reflect two categories of risk
assumption: non-guaranteed separate accounts totaling $80.6 billion and $58.6
billion as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, wherein the policyholder
assumes the investment risk, and guaranteed separate accounts totaling $9.7 and
$10.5 billion as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, wherein Hartford
Life Insurance Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or
account value to the policyholder. Included in non-guaranteed separate account
assets were policy loans totaling $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, 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 and other revenues were $908, $699 and $538
in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The guaranteed separate accounts include
fixed market value adjusted (MVA) individual annuity and modified guaranteed
life insurance. The average credited interest rate on these contracts was 6.6%
and 6.5% as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The assets that support
these liabilities were comprised of $9.5 billion and $10.2 billion in fixed
maturities as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 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 $40 and $119 in carrying value and $3.5 billion and
$3.0 billion in notional amounts as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

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 1999 is estimated to be $168.
Hartford Life Insurance Company and its domestic insurance subsidiaries
prepare their statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting
practices prescribed by the State of Connecticut. Prescribed statutory
accounting practices include publications of the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners, as well as state laws, regulations, and general
administrative rules.
7. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Hartford Life Insurance Company's employees are included in the 1997
Hartford Life, Inc. Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan"), which was adopted during
the second quarter of 1997. 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 million
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 Hartford
Life, Inc. 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 121,943 and
54,316 shares under the ESPP in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The weighted
average fair value of the discount under the ESPP was $13.80 per share in 1998
and $9.63 per share in 1997.

8. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT AND SAVINGS PLANS
(A) PENSION PLANS
Hartford Life Insurance 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 $6 in 1998 and $5
in both 1997 and 1996.
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 1998, 1997 and 1996.
The assumed rate in the per capita cost of health care (the health care
trend rate) was 7.8% for 1998, decreasing ratably to 5.0% in the year 2003.
Increasing the health care trend rates by one percent per year would have an
immaterial impact on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the
annual expense. To the extent that the actual experience differs from the
inherent assumptions, the effect will be amortized over the average future
service of 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 Hartford Life Insurance Company for the above-mentioned
plan was approximately $4 and $2 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
9. REINSURANCE
Hartford Life Insurance 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:

</TABLE>
The Company ceded approximately $128, $76 and $100 of group life premium to
HLA in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing $38.4 billion, $33.6
billion and $33.3 billion of insurance in force, respectively. The Company ceded
$383, $339 and $318 of accident and health premium to HLA in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The Company assumed $82, $89 and $101 of premium in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively, representing $7.4 billion, $8.2 billion and $8.5
billion of individual life insurance in force, respectively, from HLA.
Life reinsurance recoveries, which reduce death and other benefits,
approximated $97, $158 and $140 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
Hartford Life Insurance Company has no significant reinsurance-related
concentrations of credit risk.
10. 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 own 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. It is the intention of The
Hartford and its non-life subsidiaries to file a single consolidated Federal
income tax return. The life insurance companies will file a separate
consolidated federal income tax return. The Company's effective tax rate was
35%, 36% and 35% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

</TABLE>
Hartford Life Insurance Company had a current tax payable of $65 and $64 as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
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, based on current tax law,
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, 1998 was $104.
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, 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 $47, $34 and $40 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Management believes that the methods used are reasonable.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
(A) LITIGATION
Hartford Life Insurance 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, at the
present time the Company does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising
from such pending or threatened litigation, after consideration of provisions
made for potential losses and costs of defense, will have a material adverse
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. Part of the assessments
paid by the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to these laws may be used as
credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes. The Company paid guaranty
fund assessments of approximately $9, $15 and $11 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, of which $4, $4 and $5, respectively, were estimated to be
creditable against premium taxes.
(C) LEASES
The rent paid to Hartford Fire for space occupied by the Company was $7 in
both 1998 and 1997 and $3 in 1996. Future minimum rental commitments are as
follows:

Rental expense is recognized on a level basis over the term of the primary
sublease, which expires on December 31, 2009, and amounted to approximately $9
in both 1998 and 1997 and $8 in 1996.
(D) TAX MATTERS
Hartford Life's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the
Internal Revenue Service. Hartford Life is currently under audit for the years
1993 through 1995, with the audit for the years 1996 through 1997 expected to
begin during early 1999. Management believes that adequate provision has been
made in the financial statements for items that may result from tax examinations
and other tax related matters.
(E) INVESTMENTS
As of December 31, 1998, Hartford Life Insurance Company held $71 of asset
backed securities securitized and serviced by Commercial Financial Services,
Inc. (CFS) of which $50 were included in the Company's general account and $21
in the Company's guaranteed separate account. In October 1998, the Company
became aware of allegations of improper activities at CFS. On December 11, 1998,
CFS filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As of December
31, 1998, CFS continues to service the asset backed securities, which remain
current on payments of principal and interest, however, the Company does not
expect to recover all of its principal investment. Based upon information
available in the fourth quarter 1998, the Company recognized a $25, after-tax,
writedown related to its holdings in CFS of which $18 was related to the
Company's general account assets. The ultimate realizable amount depends on the
outcome of the bankruptcy of CFS and these estimates are therefore subject to
material change as new information becomes available. The Company is presently
unable to determine the amount of further potential loss, if any, related to the
securities.
13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", during the fourth quarter of
1998. This statement replaces SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of
a Business Enterprise", and establishes new standards for reporting information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
This statement requires that the reportable operating segments be based on the
Company's internal operations. On this basis, Hartford Life Insurance Company's
segments represent strategic operations which offer different products and
services as well as serve different markets.
Hartford Life Insurance Company is organized into three reportable operating
segments which include Investment Products, Individual Life and Corporate Owned
Life Insurance (COLI). Investment Products offers individual variable annuities,
fixed market value adjusted (MVA) annuities and fixed and variable immediate
annuities, mutual funds, deferred compensation and retirement plan services,
structured settlement contracts and other special purpose annuity contracts.
Individual Life sells a variety of life insurance products, including variable
life, universal life, interest-sensitive whole life and term life insurance.
COLI primarily offers variable products used by employers to fund non-qualified
benefits or other post-employment benefit obligations as well as leveraged COLI.
The Company includes in "Other" corporate items not directly allocable to any of
its reportable operating segments as well as certain employee benefit products
including group life and disability insurance that is directly written by the
Company and is substantially ceded to its parent, HLA.
The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2.
Hartford Life Insurance Company evaluates performance of its segments based on
revenues, net income and the segment's return on allocated capital. The Company
charges direct operating expenses to the appropriate segment and allocates the
majority of indirect expenses to the segments based on an intercompany expense
arrangement. Intersegment revenues are not significant and primarily occur
between corporate and the operating segments. These amounts include interest
income on allocated surplus and the amortization of net realized capital gains
and losses through net investment income utilizing the duration of the segment's
investment portfolios. The Company's revenues are primarily derived from
customers within the United States. The Company's long-lived assets primarily
consist of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred tax assets from within
the United States. The following table outlines summarized financial information
concerning the Company's segments. The information for 1997 and 1996 has been
restated to conform to the 1998 presentation.
