   * These values reflect investment results using current cost of
     insurance rates, administrative fees, and Mortality and Expense
     Risk rates.

  ** These values reflect investment results using guaranteed cost of
     insurance rates, administrative fees, and Mortality and Expense
     Risk rates.

     These values reflect Current Front-End Sales Loads of 4% and
     Guaranteed Front-End Sales Loads of 6% in all years. The
     surrender charge effective in any year can be determined by
     subtracting the cash surrender value from the account value.

     The Death Benefit may, and the Account Values and Cash Surrender
     Values will differ if premiums are paid in different amounts or
     frequencies.

     THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RESULTS SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED A REPRESENTATION OF
PAST OR FUTURE INVESTMENT RESULTS. ACTUAL INVESTMENT RESULTS MAY BE MORE OR LESS
THAN THOSE SHOWN. THE DEATH BENEFIT, ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR
A POLICY WOULD BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE SHOWN IF ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN
APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY AVERAGE 12% OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, BUT ALSO FLUCTUATED
ABOVE OR BELOW THAT AVERAGE FOR INDIVIDUAL POLICY YEARS. THE DEATH BENEFIT,
ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD ALSO BE DIFFERENT FROM
THOSE SHOWN, DEPENDING ON THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS MADE TO THE SEPARATE
ACCOUNTS AND THE RATES OF RETURN OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT IF THE ACTUAL RATES OF
INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY AVERAGED 12%, BUT VARIED ABOVE OR
BELOW THAT AVERAGE FOR THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE THAT
THIS HYPOTHETICAL RATE OF RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED
OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.

Item 29.  Persons Controlled By or Under Common Control with the Depositor or
          Registrant

          Filed herewith as Exhibit(s).

Item 30:  Indemnification

         Sections 33-770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the Connecticut General
         Statutes ("CGS") provide that a corporation may provide indemnification
         of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent.
         Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(e) of CGS regarding
         indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS regarding
         indemnification of officers, employees and agents of Connecticut
         corporations. These statutes provide, in general, that Connecticut
         corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the
         extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly provides
         otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents
         against "liability" (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment,
         settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with
         respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred
         with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant
         to Section 33-775 that the party seeking indemnification has met the
         standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a court has
         determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section
         33-774. Under Section 33-775, the determination of and the
         authorization for indemnification are made (a) by the disinterested
         directors, as defined in Section 33-770(3); (b) by special counsel; (c)
         by the shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an
         officer, agent or employee of the corporation, by the general counsel
         of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of directors
         may specify. Also, Section 33-772 provides that a corporation shall
         indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or
         otherwise against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection
         with a proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of
         the corporation. In the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the
         corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer,
         agent or employee was adjudged liable on the basis that he received a
         financial benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is
         limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
         proceeding against the corporation to which the individual was named a
         party.

         Under the Depositor's bylaws, the Depositor must indemnify both
         directors and officers of the Depositor for (1) any claims and
         liabilities to which they become subject by reason of being or having
         been directors or officers of the Depositor and (2) legal and other
         expenses incurred in defending against such claims, in each case, to
         the extent such is consistent with statutory provisions.

         Section 33-777 of CGS specifically authorizes a corporation to procure
         indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who was a
         director, officer, employer or agent of the corporation. Consistent
         with the statute, the directors and officers of the Depositor and
         Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO") are covered under a
         directors and


<PAGE>

         officers liability insurance policy issued to The Hartford Financial
         Services Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
         Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
         persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
         otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
         Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
         public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
         In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
         (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
         by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
         successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
         such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
         securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
         of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
         submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
         indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
         and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
