                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Travelers Variable Life Insurance Separate Account One ("Separate Account
One") is a separate account of The Travelers Life and Annuity Company
("Travelers Life"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Travelers
Insurance Company, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc.,
and is available for funding certain variable life insurance contracts issued
by Travelers Life.  Separate Account One is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a unit investment trust.

Participant premium payments applied to Separate Account One are invested in
one or more eligible funds in accordance with the selection made by the
contract owner.  As of December 31, 1995, the eligible funds available under
Separate Account One are: Zero Coupon Bond Fund Portfolio Series 1998, Zero
Coupon Bond Fund Portfolio Series 2000 and Zero Coupon Bond Fund Portfolio
Series 2005 of The Travelers Series Trust; Alliance Growth Portfolio, American
Capital Enterprise Portfolio, TBC Managed Income Portfolio, Smith Barney High
Income Portfolio, Smith Barney International Equity Portfolio, Smith Barney
Income and Growth Portfolio, Smith Barney Money Market Portfolio, Putnam
Diversified Income Portfolio, MFS Total Return Portfolio and AIM Capital
Appreciation Portfolio of Smith Barney/Travelers Series Fund Inc.; and Total
Return Portfolio of Smith Barney Series Fund.  All the funds are Massachusetts
business trusts except for Smith Barney/Travelers Series Fund Inc. which is
incorporated under Maryland law.  Smith Barney/Travelers Series Fund Inc. and
Smith Barney Series Fund are managed by Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management
Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc.  Not all
funds are available in all states.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by Separate Account One in the preparation of its financial
statements.

SECURITY VALUATION.  Investments are valued daily at the net asset values per
share of the underlying funds.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.  The operations of Separate Account One form a part of
the total operations of Travelers Life and are not taxed separately.  Travelers
Life is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").  Under existing federal income tax law, no taxes
are payable on the investment income of Separate Account One.  Separate Account
One is not taxed as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the
Code.

OTHER. 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.

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date.

2.  INVESTMENTS

Purchases and sales of investments aggregated $1,966,533 and $151,311,
respectively, for the period ended December 31, 1995.  Realized gains and
losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified-cost basis.
The cost of investments in eligible funds was $1,815,224 at December 31, 1995.
Gross unrealized appreciation for all investments at December 31, 1995 was
$2,633.  Gross unrealized depreciation for all investments at December 31, 1995
was $1,689.

3.  CONTRACT CHARGES

Insurance charges are paid to Travelers Life for the mortality and expense
risks assumed by Travelers Life.  These charges are equivalent to 0.90% of the
average net assets of Separate Account One on an annual basis.  This charge
will be reduced to 0.75% for any calendar year that follows a calendar year in
which the average participant's net fund growth rate (as described in the
prospectus) is 6.5% or greater.

Administrative fees are paid to Travelers Life for administrative expenses
incurred by Travelers Life. This charge is equivalent to 0.40% of the average
net assets of Separate Account One on an annual basis.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Owners of Variable Life Insurance Contracts of
     The Travelers Variable Life Insurance Separate Account One:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The
Travelers Variable Life Insurance Separate Account One as of December 31, 1995,
and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the
period October 10, 1995 (date operations commenced) to December 31, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our
procedures included confirmation of shares owned as of December 31, 1995, by
correspondence with underlying funds.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Travelers Variable Life
Insurance Separate Account One as of December 31, 1995, the results of its
operations and the changes in its net assets for the period October 10, 1995
(date operations commenced) to December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
