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 0% 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 0%, 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company
Separate Account VL II and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account VL II (Bond Fund,
Stock Fund, Money Market Fund, Advisers Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund,
Mortgage Securities Fund, Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Dividend
and Growth Fund, Growth and Income Fund, International Advisers Fund, Small
Company Fund, MidCap Fund, Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, Fidelity VIP
Overseas Portfolio and Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager Portfolio) (collectively,
the Account) as of December 31, 1999, 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,
1999, 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 VL II -- HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

1.  ORGANIZATION:

Separate Account VL II (the Account) is a separate investment account within
Hartford Life and Annuity 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). Realized gains and losses on
the sales of securities are computed on the basis of identified cost of the fund
shares sold. 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, 1999.

C)  UNIT TRANSACTIONS -- Unit transactions are executed based on the unit values
calculated at the close of the business day.

D)  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.

E)  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:

A)  DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES FROM THE ACCOUNT VALUE -- On the policy date and on
each subsequent monthly activity date, the Company will deduct from the Account
an amount to cover mortality and expense risk charges, cost of insurance,
administrative charges and any other benefits provided by the rider. These
charges, which may vary from month to month in accordance which the terms of the
contracts, are deducted through termination of units of interest from the
applicable contractholders' accounts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account VL II and to the

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of

Emerging Growth, Utilities Growth and Income, Vista, and Voyager sub-accounts),
(collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1999, 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,
1999, and the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for
the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL II -- HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999

1.  ORGANIZATION:

Separate Account VL II (the Account) is a separate investment account within
Hartford Life and Annuity 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
policyowners of the Company in the various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed
by the policyowners.

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). Realized gains and losses on the
sales of securities are computed on the basis of identified cost of the fund
shares sold. Dividend and capital gains income is accrued as of the ex-dividend
date. Capital gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are
characterized as capital gains under tax regulations.

B) SECURITY VALUATION -- The 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, 1999.

C) UNIT TRANSACTIONS -- Unit transactions are executed based on the unit values
calculated at the close of the business day. All unit transactions are executed
at fair value.

D) 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.

E) 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:

A) COST OF INSURANCE -- In accordance with terms of the policies, the Company
assesses deductions for costs of insurance charges 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 charges may also vary.

B) MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE -- The Company, as issuer of variable life
policies, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and, with respect to
the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of 0.80% of the Account's average
daily net assets. These charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments
and fees on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

C) ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES -- The Company assesses a monthly administrative
charge to compensate the Company for administrative costs in connection with the
policies. This charge covers the average expected cost for these services and
varies based on the face amount of the underlying policy, among other factors.
These charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the
accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

D) DEDUCTION OF ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE -- Annual maintenance fees are deducted
through termination of units of interest from applicable policyowners' accounts,
in accordance with the terms of the policies. These charges are reflected in
surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying statements of
changes in net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(STATUTORY BASIS)
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)

(Unaudited)

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

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Hartford Life and Annuity
Insurance Company (the Company) have been prepared in conformity with statutory
accounting practices prescribed by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners and the Connecticut Department of Insurance. Certain information
and note disclosures which are normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with statutory accounting practices have been condensed
or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management,
these statements include all adjustments which were normal recurring adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with statutory accounting
practices. For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 1 of
Notes to Financial Statements in Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company's
1999 statutory basis financial statements.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to
conform to the current year classification of transactions and accounts.

2. INVESTMENTS:

In October 1998, the Company became aware of allegations of improper activities
at Commercial Financial Services Inc. (CFS), a securitizer and servicer of asset
backed securities. On December 11, 1998, CFS filed for protection under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code and, in June 1999, CFS ceased operations. In August
1999, the Company sold all of its CFS holdings recognizing a $36, after tax,
realized capital loss.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
              ----------------------------------------------------

To the Board of Directors of
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company:

We have audited the accompanying statutory balance sheets of Hartford Life and
Annuity Insurance Company (a Connecticut Corporation and wholly owned subsidiary
of Hartford Life Insurance Company) (the Company) as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the related statutory statements of operations, changes in capital and
surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1999. These statutory financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
statutory financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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.

The Company presents its financial statements in conformity with statutory
accounting practices as described in Note 2 of notes to statutory financial
statements. When financial statements are presented for purposes other than for
filing with a regulatory agency, auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States require that an auditors' report on them state whether they are
presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The accounting practices used by the Company vary from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States as explained and quantified
in Note 2.

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter discussed in the preceding
paragraph, the statutory financial statements referred to above do not present
fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999.

In our opinion, the statutory financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity
with statutory accounting practices as described in Note 2.

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

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the "Company") is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company ("HLIC"), which is an indirect
subsidiary of Hartford Life, Inc. ("HLI"). HLI is indirectly majority owned by
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. ("The Hartford"). On February 10,
1997, HLI filed a registration statement, as amended, with the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to the initial public offering of HLI Class A
Common Stock (the "Offering"). Pursuant to the Offering on May 22, 1997, HLI
sold to the public 26 million shares, representing approximately 18.6% of the
equity ownership of HLI.

In 1998, the Company changed its name to Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
Company from ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company.

The Company offers a complete line of fixed and variable annuities, as well as
variable, universal and traditional individual life insurance.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statutory basis financial statements of the Company were
prepared in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and
the State of Connecticut Department of Insurance. Certain reclassifications have
been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year
presentation.

Current prescribed statutory accounting practices include accounting
publications of the NAIC, as well as state laws, regulations and general
administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass
accounting practices approved by state insurance departments. The Company does
not follow any permitted statutory accounting practices that have a material
effect on statutory surplus, statutory net income or risk-based capital.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory 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 reported periods. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include those used
in determining the liability for aggregate reserves for future benefits and the
liability for premium and other deposit funds. Although some variability is
inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are
adequate.

STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES VERSUS GAAP

Statutory accounting practices and generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") differ in certain significant respects. These differences principally
involve:

(1) treatment of policy acquisition costs (commissions, underwriting and selling
    expenses, etc.) which are charged to expense when incurred for statutory
    purposes rather than on a pro-rata basis over the expected life and gross
    profit stream of the policy for GAAP purposes;

(2) recognition of premium revenues, which for statutory purposes are generally
    recorded as collected or when due during the premium paying period of the
    contract and which for GAAP purposes, for universal life policies and
    investment products, generally only consist of charges assessed to policy
    account balances for cost of insurance, policy administration and
    surrenders. When policy charges received relate to coverage or services to
    be provided in the future, the charges are recognized as revenue on a
    pro-rata basis over the expected life and gross profit stream of the policy.
    Also, for GAAP purposes, premiums for traditional life insurance policies
    are recognized as revenues when they are due from policyholders;

(3) development of liabilities for future policy benefits, which for statutory
    purposes predominantly use interest rate and mortality assumptions
    prescribed by the NAIC which may vary considerably from interest and
    mortality assumptions used under GAAP;

(4) providing for income taxes based on current taxable income only for
    statutory purposes, rather than establishing additional assets or
    liabilities for deferred Federal income taxes to recognize the tax effect
    related to reporting revenues and expenses in different periods for
    financial reporting and tax return purposes or required under GAAP;

(5) excluding certain assets designated as non-admitted assets (e.g., negative
    Interest Maintenance Reserve, and past due agents' balances) from the
    balance sheet for statutory purposes by directly charging surplus;

(6) the calculation of post retirement benefits obligation which, for statutory
    accounting, excludes non-vested employees whereas GAAP liabilities include a
    provision for such employees; statutory and GAAP accounting permit either
    immediate recognition of the liability or straight-line amortization of the
    liability over a period not to exceed 20 years. For GAAP, The Hartford's
    obligation was immediately recognized, whereas for statutory accounting, the
    obligation is being recognized ratably over a 20 year period;

                                      F-6
<PAGE>
(7) establishing a formula reserve for realized and unrealized losses due to
    default and equity risk associated with certain invested assets (Asset
    Valuation Reserve) for statutory purposes; as well as the deferral and
    amortization of realized gains and losses, caused by changes in interest
    rates during the period the asset is held, into income over the remaining
    life to maturity of the asset sold (Interest Maintenance Reserve) for
    statutory purposes; whereas on a GAAP basis, no such formula reserve is
    required and realized gains and losses are recognized in the period the
    asset is sold;

(8) the reporting of reserves and benefits net of reinsurance ceded for
    statutory purposes; whereas on a GAAP basis, reserves are reported gross of
    reinsurance with reserve credits presented as recoverable assets;

(9) the reporting of fixed maturities at amortized cost for statutory purposes,
    whereas GAAP requires that fixed maturities be classified as
    "held-to-maturity," "available-for-sale" or "trading," based on the
    Company's intentions with respect to the ultimate disposition of the
    security and its ability to affect those intentions. The Company's bonds
    were classified on a GAAP basis as available-for-sale and accordingly, those
    investments and common stocks were reflected at fair value with the
    corresponding impact included as a separate component of Stockholder's
    Equity; as well as the change in the basis of the Company's other invested
    assets, which consist primarily of limited partnership investments, which is
    recognized as income under GAAP and as a change in surplus under statutory
    accounting; and

(10) statutory accounting calculates separate account liabilities using
    prescribed actuarial methodologies, which approximate the market value of
    separate account assets less applicable surrender charges. The separate
    account surplus generated by these reserving methods is recorded as an
    amount due to or from the separate account on the statutory basis balance
    sheet, with changes reflected in the statutory basis results of operations.
    On a GAAP basis, separate account assets and liabilities are held at fair
    value.

As of and for the years ended December 31, the significant differences between
Statutory and GAAP basis net income and capital and surplus for the Company are
as follows:

AGGREGATE RESERVES FOR FUTURE BENEFITS AND LIABILITY FOR PREMIUM AND OTHER
DEPOSIT FUNDS

Aggregate reserves for payment of future life, health and annuity benefits were
computed in accordance with applicable actuarial standards. Reserves for life
insurance policies are generally based on the 1958 and 1980 Commissioner's
Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables and various valuation rates ranging from 2.5%
to 6%. Accumulation and on-benefit annuity reserves are based principally on
individual annuity tables at various rates ranging from

2.5% to 8.75% and using the Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method
("CARVM").

The Company has established separate accounts to segregate the assets and
liabilities of certain life insurance and annuity contracts that must be
segregated from the Company's general assets under the terms of its contracts.
The assets consist primarily of marketable securities and are reported at market
value. Premiums, benefits and expenses of these contracts are reported in the
statutory basis statements of operations.

An analysis of Annuity Actuarial Reserves and Deposit Liabilities by Withdrawal
Characteristics as of December 31, 1999 (including general and separate account
liabilities) is as follows:

INVESTMENTS

Investments in bonds are carried at amortized cost. Bonds that are deemed
ineligible to be held at amortized cost by the NAIC Securities Valuation Office
("SVO") are carried at the appropriate SVO published value. When a reduction in
the value of a security is deemed to be unrecoverable, the decline in value is
reported as a realized loss and the carrying value is adjusted accordingly.
Short-term investments consist of money market funds and are stated at cost,
which approximates fair value. Common stocks are carried at fair value with the
current year change in the difference from cost reflected in surplus. Mortgage
loans, which are carried at cost and approximate fair value, include investments
in assets backed by mortgage loan pools. Other invested assets are generally
recorded at fair value.

The Asset Valuation Reserve ("AVR") is designed to provide a standardized
reserving process for realized and unrealized losses due to default and equity
risks associated with invested assets. The AVR balances were $4,935 and $21,782
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Additionally, the Interest
Maintenance Reserve ("IMR") captures net realized capital gains and losses, net
of applicable income taxes, resulting from changes in interest rates and
amortizes these gains or losses into income over the life of the bond or
mortgage sold. The IMR balance as of December 31, 1999 is an asset balance of
$981 and is reflected as a component of non-admitted assets in Unassigned Funds
in accordance with statutory accounting practices. The IMR balance as of
December 31, 1998 is a liability balance of $452 and is reflected as an other
liability. The net capital (losses) gains transferred to the IMR in 1999, 1998
and 1997 were $(1,255), $852 and $(719), respectively. The amount of income
(expense) amortized from the IMR in 1999, 1998 and 1997 included in the
Company's Statements of Operations, was $178, $(207), and $(85), respectively.
Realized capital gains and losses, net of taxes, not included in the IMR are
reported in the statutory basis statements of operations. Realized investment
gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis.

CODIFICATION

The NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles in March
1998. The proposed effective date for this statutory accounting guidance is
January 1, 2001. It is expected that Connecticut, the Company's domiciliary
state, will adopt these accounting standards and, therefore, the Company will
make the necessary accounting and reporting changes required for implementation.
The Company has not yet determined the impact that these new accounting
standards will have on its statutory basis financial statements.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments: fair value of bonds, short-term
investments, common stock, and other invested assets approximate those
quotations published by the NAIC; policy loans and mortgage loans carrying
amounts approximates fair value; and fair value of liabilities on deposit funds
and other benefits is determined by forecasting future cash flows and
discounting the forecasted cash flows at current market rates.

4. REINSURANCE:

The Company cedes insurance to other insurers in order to limit its maximum
losses. Such transfer does not relieve the Company of its primary liability to
the policyholder. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result
in losses to the Company. The Company reduces this risk by evaluating the
financial condition of reinsurers and monitoring for possible concentrations of
credit risk.

The Company cedes significant portions of its variable annuity business written
since 1994 to RGA Reinsurance Company ("RGA"). Certain core annuity products
were excluded from this reinsurance arrangement beginning in the second quarter
of 1999 and, as such, the amounts ceded to RGA have declined significantly.

In 1995, The Hartford was "spun-off" from ITT Industries, Inc. and became its
own, autonomous entity. In conjunction with this spin-off, the assets and
liabilities of Lyndon Insurance Company (Lyndon) were merged into the Company.
The statutory net assets contributed to the Company as a result of this
transaction were approximately $112 million and were reflected as an increase in
Gross Paid-In and Contributed Surplus at December 31, 1995. This amount was
approximately $41 million lower than the value of net assets contributed on a
GAAP basis.

The majority of the business written in Lyndon was assumed from an unaffiliated
insurer. In 1998, this unaffiliated insurer recaptured the inforce blocks of
business it had been ceding to the Company through Lyndon. In conjunction with
this commutation transaction, the Company transferred statutory basis reserves
of $26,404. Additionally, the Company received fair value consideration for the
bonds it transferred which exceeded the statutory statement value of these
assets by $25,622. As a result of this activity, the Company recognized a
pre-tax gain from this transaction of $52,026 in its 1998 Statements of
Operations.

There were no material reinsurance recoverables from reinsurers outstanding as
of and for the years ended, December 31, 1999 and 1998.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Transactions between the Company and its affiliates, relate principally to tax
settlements, reinsurance, insurance coverages, rental and service fees, capital
contributions and payments of dividends. 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 benefit
plan expenses, are initially paid by The Hartford. Direct expenses are allocated
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.

The Company has also invested in bonds of its affiliates, Hartford Financial
Services Corporation and HL Investment Advisors, Inc., and common stock of its
subsidiary, Hartford Life, LTD.

For additional information, see Notes 4, 6, and 8.

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

The Company 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 HLI, the Company
will be included for Federal income tax purposes in the affiliated group of
which The Hartford is the common parent. The Hartford and its non-life
subsidiaries filed a single consolidated Federal income tax return for 1998 and
1997 and intend to file a separate consolidated Federal income tax return for
1999. The life insurance companies filed a separate consolidated Federal income
tax return for 1998 and 1997 and intend to file a separate consolidated Federal
income tax return for 1999. Federal income taxes (received) paid by the Company
for operations and capital gains (losses) were $(8,815), $25,780, and $(14,499)
in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The effective tax rate was (73)%, 27%, and
(28)% in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

7. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS AND SHAREHOLDER DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS:

The maximum amount of dividends which can be paid to shareholders by Connecticut
domiciled insurance companies, without prior approval, is generally restricted
to the greater of 10% of surplus as of the preceding December 31st or the net
gain from operations for the previous year. Dividends are paid as determined by
the Board of Directors and are not cumulative. No dividends were paid in 1999,
1998 or 1997. The amount available for dividend in 2000 is approximately
$60,855.

8. PENSION, RETIREMENT, AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:

All employees that work for The Hartford's life insurance companies are included
in The Hartford's non-contributory 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 Hartford'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 group
pension contracts sold by affiliates. The costs that were allocated to the
Company for pension related expenses were $762, $1,045 and $840 for 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

Employees of The Hartford's life insurance companies are also provided, through
The Hartford, certain health care and life insurance benefits for eligible
retired employees. The contribution for health care benefits depends on the
retiree's date of retirement and years of service. In addition, this benefit
plan has a defined dollar cap, which limits average company contributions. The
Hartford 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 to the Company was not material to the results of operations
for 1999, 1998 or 1997.

The assumed rate in the per capita cost of health care (the health care trend
rate) was 7.1% for 1999, 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.

Substantially all of The Hartford's life insurance companies' employees 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 HLI or certain other investments, are matched to a limit of 3% of
compensation.

9. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS:

The Company maintains separate account assets totaling $44.9 billion and $32.9
billion as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Separate account assets
are segregated from other investments and reported at fair value. Separate
account liabilities are determined in accordance with prescribed actuarial
methodologies, which approximate the market value less applicable surrender
charges. The resulting surplus is recorded in the general account statement of
operations as a component of Net Transfers to Separate Accounts. The Company's
separate accounts are non-guaranteed, wherein the policyholder assumes
substantially all the investment risk and rewards. Investment income (including
investment gains and losses) and interest credited to policyholders on separate
account assets are not separately reflected in the statutory statements of
operations.

Separate account management fees, net of minimum guarantees, were $493 million,
$363 million, and $252 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and are
recorded as a component of fee income on the Company's statutory basis
Statements of Operations.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

  (a) LITIGATION

The Company is involved in pending and threatened litigation in the normal
course of its business in which claims for alleged economic and punitive damages
have been asserted. Some of these cases have been filed as purported class
actions and some cases have been filed in certain jurisdictions that permit
punitive damage awards disproportionate to the actual damages incurred. 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,
will have a material adverse effect on the statutory capital and surplus 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 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 $523, $1,043 and $1,544 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively, of
which $318, $995, and $548 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively were estimated
to be creditable against premium taxes.

  (c) TAX MATTERS

The Company's Federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"). The Company's 1997 and 1996 Federal income tax returns
are currently under audit by the IRS. As of March 31, 2000, the audit was in its
initial stage and no material issues had been raised.

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 death benefit options,
investment options, and premiums you pay.

DEATH BENEFIT -- While the policy is in force and when the last surviving
insured dies, we pay a death benefit to your beneficiary. You select one of
three death benefit options:

x  LEVEL OPTION: The death benefit equals the current Face Amount.

x  RETURN OF ACCOUNT VALUE OPTION: The death benefit is the current Face Amount
   plus the Account Value of your policy;

x  RETURN OF PREMIUM OPTION: The death benefit is the current Face Amount plus
   the total of your premium payments, however, it will be no more than the
   current Face Amount plus $2.5 million.

The death benefit is reduced by any money you owe us, such as outstanding loans,
loan interest, or unpaid charges. You may change your death benefit option under
certain circumstances. You may increase or decrease the Face Amount on your
policy under certain circumstances.

DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE -- Generally, your death benefit coverage will last as
long as there is enough value in your policy to pay for the monthly charges we
deduct. Since this is a variable life policy, values of your policy will
fluctuate based on the performance of the underlying investment options you have
chosen. Without the Death Benefit Guarantee your policy will lapse if the value
of your policy is insufficient to pay your monthly charges. However, when the
Death Benefit Guarantee feature is in effect, the policy will not lapse,
regardless of the investment performance of the underlying funds.

When you apply for the policy you choose what percentage of the total face
amount that is covered by the Death Benefit Guarantee. The Death Benefit
Guarantee period is the maximum number of policy years that the Death Benefit
Guarantee is available on the policy. The Death Benefit Guarantee period is
individualized based on the issue ages, sexes and risk classes of the insureds
and is provided in the policy. In order to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee
feature, the cumulative premiums paid into the policy, less withdrawals and
indebtedness, must exceed the Cumulative Death Benefit Guarantee Premium. The
Death Benefit Guarantee is not available in the states of Maryland or New
Jersey.


INVESTMENT CHOICES -- You may invest in up to 9 different investment choices
within your policy, from a choice of 35 investment options and a Fixed Account.
You may transfer money among your investment choices, subject to restrictions.


PREMIUM PAYMENTS -- You have the flexibility to choose how you pay premiums. You
choose a planned premium when you purchase the policy. You may change your
planned premium, or pay additional premium any time, subject to certain
limitations.

RIGHT TO EXAMINE YOUR POLICY -- For 10 days after you receive your policy, you
may cancel it without paying a sales charge. A longer period is provided in some
states.

WITHDRAWALS -- You may take money out of your policy once a month, subject to
certain minimums. (See "Risks of Your Policy," below).

LOANS -- You may take a loan on the policy. The policy secures the loan.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS -- You or your beneficiary may choose to receive the proceeds
of the policy over a period of time by using one of several settlement options.

OPTIONAL COVERAGE -- You may add other coverages to your policy. See "Your
Policy -- Other Benefits."

WHAT DOES YOUR PREMIUM PAY FOR?

Your premium pays for three things. It pays for life insurance coverage, it acts
as an investment in the Sub-Accounts, and it pays for sales loads and other
charges.

RISKS OF YOUR POLICY

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE -- The value of your policy will fluctuate with the
performance of the investment options you choose. 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 the
premium payment in a short time period.

RISK OF LAPSE -- Your policy could terminate if the value of the policy becomes
too low to support the policy's monthly charges. 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.

WITHDRAWAL LIMITATIONS -- You are limited to one withdrawal per month.
Withdrawals will reduce your policy's death benefit, and may be subject to a
surrender charge.

TRANSFER LIMITATIONS -- We reserve the right to limit the size of transfers and
remaining balances, and to limit the number and frequency of transfers among
your investment options and the Fixed Account.

LOANS -- Taking a loan from your policy may increase the risk that your policy
will lapse, will have a permanent effect on the policy's Account Value, and will
reduce the death proceeds.

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

ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES -- You may be subject to income tax if you receive any
loans, withdrawals or other amounts from the policy, and you may be subject to a
10% penalty tax. Under certain circumstances (usually if you prefund future
benefits in seven years or less), your policy may become a modified endowment
policy under federal tax law. If these circumstances were to occur, loans and
other pre-death distributions are includable in gross income on an income first
basis, and may be subject to a 10% penalty (unless you have attained age
59 1/2). You should consult with a tax adviser before taking steps that may
affect whether your policy becomes a modified endowment policy. See "Taxes."

(1) With respect to the Mid-Cap Equity Portfolio, the expense information shown
    in the table above has been restated to reflect the current fees. Prior to
    December 31, 1999, the investment adviser, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
    Advisors, Inc., assumed all expenses of the Portfolio and waived the
    compensation provided for the Portfolio in its management agreement with the
    Fund.



(2) With respect to the High Yield, Mid-Cap Value, Emerging Markets Debt,
    Emerging Markets Equity, Active International Allocation and Fixed Income
    Portfolios, the investment advisers have voluntarily agreed to waive their
    investment advisory fees and to reimburse certain expenses of the Portfolios
    if such fees would cause their respective "Total Fund Operating Expenses" to
    exceed certain limits. The expense ratios for the Active International
    Allocation Portfolio and Technology Portfolio are annualized. Including
    these reductions, it is estimated that "Management Fees", Other Expenses and
    "Total Fund Operating Expenses" for the Portfolios would have been as
    follows:

(3) With respect to the Strategic Stock Portfolio and the Enterprise Portfolio,
    the investment adviser, Van Kampen Asset Management, Inc. has voluntarily
    agreed to waive its investment advisory fees and to reimburse the Portfolios
    if such fees would cause their respective "Total Fund Operating Expenses" to
    exceed those set forth in the table above. Including in the aforementioned
    reductions, it is estimated that "Management Fees", "Other Expenses" and
    "Total Fund Operating Expenses" for the Portfolios would be:

(4) The Fund's Class 2 distribution plan or "Rule 12b-1 Plan" is described in
    the Fund's prospectus. While the maximum amount payable under the Fund's
    Class 2 Rule 12b-1 Plan is 0.35% per year of the Fund's average daily net
    assets, the Board of Trustees of Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance
    Products Trust has set the current rate at 0.25% per year through at least
    April 30, 2001.



(5) On February 8, 2000, a merger and reorganization was approved that combined
    the assets of the Franklin Small Cap Fund with a similar fund of the
    Templeton Variable Products Series Fund, effective May 1, 2000. On
    February 8, 2000, fund shareholders approved new management fees, which
    apply to the combined fund effective May 1, 2000. The table shows restated
    total expenses based on the new fees and assets of the fund as of
    December 31, 1999, and not the assets of the combined fund. However, if the
    table reflected both the new fees and the combined assets, the fund's
    expenses after May 1, 2000 would be estimated as: Management Fees 0.55%,
    Distribution and Service Fees 0.25%, Other Expenses 0.27%, and Total Fund
    Operating Expenses 1.07%.

    amount. Other expenses are estimated. The manager and administrator have
    agreed in advance to waive or limit their respective fees and the manager to
    assume as its own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the fund so
    that total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed 0.75% for the
    current fiscal year. After December 31, 2001, the manager and administrator
    may end this arrangement at any time. Without this reduction Total Fund

These ratings apply to Hartford's ability to meet its obligations under the
Contract. The ratings do not apply to the Separate Account or the underlying
Funds.


SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL II

The Sub-Accounts are subdivisions of our separate account, called Separate
Account VL II. The Separate Account exists to keep your life insurance policy
assets separate from our company assets. As such, 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 may not be used for any other liability of
Hartford. Separate Account VL II was established on September 30, 1994 under the
laws of Connecticut.


THE PORTFOLIOS



The underlying investment for the Contracts are shares of the portfolios or
funds of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Select Dimensions Investment Series, The
Universal Institutional Funds, Inc., Van Kampen Life Investment Trust, American
Funds Insurance Series, MFS-Registered Trademark- Variable Insurance Trust-SM-,
and Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, all open-ended
management investment companies. The underlying portfolios or funds
corresponding to each Sub-Account and their investment objectives are described
below. Hartford reserves the right, subject to compliance with the law, to offer
additional portfolios with differing investment objectives. The portfolios may
not be available in all states.



We do not guarantee the investment results of any of the underlying portfolios
or funds. Since each underlying portfolio has different investment objectives,
each is subject to different risks. These risks and the portfolio's expenses are

of Additional Information. The Funds' prospectuses should be read in conjunction
with this Prospectus before investing.



MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER SELECT DIMENSIONS INVESTMENT SERIES:



MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO -- Seeks high current income, preservation of capital and
liquidity by investing in the following money market instruments: U.S.
Government securities, obligations of U.S. regulated banks and savings
institutions having total assets of more than $1 billion, or less than
$1 billion if such are fully federally insured as to principal (the interest may
not be insured), repurchase agreements and high grade corporate debt obligations
maturing in thirteen months or less.



DIVERSIFIED INCOME PORTFOLIO -- Seeks, as a primary objective, to earn a high
level of current income and, as a secondary objective, to maximize total return,
but only to the extent consistent with its primary objective, by equally
allocating its assets among three separate groupings of fixed-income securities.
Up to one-third of the securities in which the Diversified Income Portfolio may
invest will include securities rated Baa/BBB or lower. See the Special
Considerations for investments for high yield securities disclosed in the Fund's
prospectus.



BALANCED GROWTH PORTFOLIO -- Seeks to provide capital growth with reasonable
current income by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 60% of its
total assets in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies which have
a record of paying dividends and, in the opinion of the Investment Manager, have
the potential for increasing dividends and in securities convertible into common
stock, and at least 25% of its total assets in investment grade fixed-income
(fixed-rate and adjustable-rate) securities such as corporate notes and bonds
and obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and
its instrumentalities.



UTILITIES PORTFOLIO -- Seeks to provide both capital appreciation and current
income.



DIVIDEND GROWTH PORTFOLIO -- Seeks to provide reasonable current income and
long-term growth of income and capital by investing primarily in common stock of
companies with a record of paying dividends and the potential for increasing
dividends.



VALUE-ADDED MARKET PORTFOLIO -- Seeks to achieve a high level of total return on
its assets through a combination of capital appreciation and current income, by
investing, on an equally-weighted basis, in a diversified portfolio of common
stocks of the companies which are represented in the Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index.

HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


GROWTH PORTFOLIO -- Seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in
common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks issued by domestic
and foreign companies.



AMERICAN OPPORTUNITIES PORTFOLIO -- Seeks long-term capital growth consistent
with an effort to reduce volatility, by investing principally in common stock of
companies in industries which, at the time of the investment, are believed to be
attractively valued given their above average relative earnings growth potential
at that time.



MID-CAP EQUITY PORTFOLIO -- Seeks long-term capital growth by investing
primarily in equity securities of medium sized companies (that is, companies
whose equity market capitalization falls within the range of companies
comprising the S&P 400 Index).



GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO -- Seeks to obtain total return on its assets primarily
through long-term capital growth and, to a lesser extent, from income, through
investments in all types of common stocks and equivalents (such as convertible
securities and warrants), preferred stocks and bonds and other debt obligations
of domestic and foreign companies, governments and international organizations.



DEVELOPING GROWTH PORTFOLIO -- Seeks long-term capital growth by investing
primarily in common stocks of smaller and medium-sized companies that, in the
opinion of the Investment Manager, have the potential for growing more rapidly
than the economy and which may benefit from new products or services,
technological developments or changes in management.



THE UNIVERSAL INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS, INC.:



HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO -- Seeks above-average total return over a market cycle of
three to five years by investing primarily in high yield securities (commonly
referred to as "junk bonds"). The Portfolio also may invest in investment grade
fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds
and mortgage securities. The Portfolio may invest to a limited extent in foreign
fixed income securities, including emerging market securities. The Investment
Adviser may use futures, swaps and other types of derivatives in managing the
Portfolio.



MID-CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO -- Seeks above-average total return over a market cycle
of three to five years by investing in common stocks of companies with
capitalizations in the range of companies included in the S&P MidCap 400 Index
(currently $500 million to $6 billion). The Portfolio purchases stocks that
typically do not pay dividends. The Investment Adviser analyzes securities to
identify stocks that are undervalued, and measures the relative attractiveness
of the PortfolIo's current holdings against potential purchases.



EMERGING MARKETS DEBT PORTFOLIO -- Seeks high total return by investing
primarily in fixed income securities of government and government-related
issuers and, to a lesser extent, of corporate issuers located in emerging market
countries. The Investment Adviser seeks high total return by investing in a
portfolio of emerging market debt that offers low correlation to many other
asset classes. Using macroeconomic and fundamental analysis, the Investment
Adviser seeks to identify developing countries that are undervalued and have
attractive or improving fundamentals. After the country allocation is
determined, the sector and security selection is made within each county.



EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY PORTFOLIO -- Seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in equity securities of issuers in emerging market
countries. The Investment Adviser seeks to maximize returns by investing in
growth-oriented equity securities in emerging markets. The Investment Adviser's
investment approach combines top-down country allocation with bottom-up stock
selection. Investment selection criteria include attractive growth
characteristics, reasonable valuations and managements with a strong shareholder
value orientation.



FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO -- Seeks above-average total return over a market cycle
of three to five years by investing primarily in a diversified mix of dollar
denominated investment grade fixed income securities, particularly U.S.
Government, corporate and mortgage securities. The Portfolio ordinarily will
maintain an average weighted maturity in excess of five years. The Portfolio may
invest opportunistically in non-dollar denominated securities and below
investment grade securities; and it may use futures, swaps and other types of
derivatives in managing the Portfolio.



ACTIVE INTERNATIONAL ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO -- Seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing primarily in accordance with country and sector
weightings determined by the investment adviser in equity securities of non-U.S.
issuers which, in the aggregate, replicate broad-market indices. The Investment
Adviser seeks to maintain a diversified portfolio of international equity
ecurities based on a top-down approach that emphasizes country and sector
selection and weighting rather than individual stock selection. The Investment
Adviser capitalizes on the significance of country and sector selection in
international equity portfolio returns by over and underweighting countries
based on three factors: (i) valuation; (ii) fundamental change; and
(iii) short-term market momentum/technicals.



TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO -- Seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing
primarily in equity securities of companies that the Investment Adviser expects
will benefit from their involvement in technology and technology-related
industries. The Investment Adviser seeks to identify significant long-term
technology trends and invest primarily in companies the Investment Adviser
believes are positioned to benefit materially from these trends.



VAN KAMPEN LIFE INVESTMENT TRUST:



STRATEGIC STOCK PORTFOLIO -- Seeks an above average total return through a
combination of potential capital appreciation and dividend income, consistent
with the preservation of invested capital. Under normal market conditions, the
Portfolio's investment adviser seeks to achieve the investment objectives by
investing in a portfolio of high dividend yielding equity securities

of companies included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average or in the Morgan

AMERICAN FUNDS GLOBAL GROWTH FUND -- Seeks long-term growth of capital by
investing primarily in common stocks of issuers domiciled around the world.

capital by investing primarily in equity securities of smaller companies located
around the world that typically have market capitalizations of $50 million to
$1.5 billion.

primarily in common stocks which demonstrate the potential for appreciation.



AMERICAN FUNDS GROWTH-INCOME FUND -- Seeks growth of capital and income by

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, and of owners of
other contracts whose contract values are 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 prospectuses for the Funds.


VOTING RIGHTS -- For Sub-Accounts in which you have invested, we will notify you
of shareholder's meetings of the Funds purchased by those Sub-Accounts. We will
send you proxy materials and instructions for you to vote the shares held for
your benefit by those Sub-Accounts. We will arrange for the handling and
tallying of proxies received from you or other policy owners. If you give no
instructions, we will vote those shares in

the same proportion as shares for which we received instructions.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES -- Hartford has entered into agreements with the
investment advisers or distributors of many of the Funds. Under the terms of
these agreements, Hartford provides administrative services and the Funds pay a
fee to Hartford that is usually based on an annual percentage of the average
daily net assets of the Funds. These agreements may be different for each Fund
or each Fund family.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT

You may allocate amounts to the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is not a part
of the Separate Account, but is a part of our general assets. As such, the Fixed
Account (and this description of the Fixed Account) is not subject to the same
securities laws as the Separate Account.

The Fixed Account credits at least 3.5% per year. We are not obligated to, but
may, credit more than 3.5% per year. If we do, such rates are determined at our
sole discretion. You assume the risk that, at any time, the Fixed Account may
credit no more than 3.5%.

The Fixed Account is not available in New Jersey or Texas.

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUM

Before your premium is allocated to the Sub-Accounts and/or the Fixed Account,
we deduct a percentage from your premium for a sales load and a premium tax
charge. The amount allocated after the deductions is called your Net Premium.


FRONT-END SALES LOAD -- We deduct a sales load from each premium you pay. The
current sales load is 4% of premium. The maximum sales load under the policy is
6% of premium.


PREMIUM TAX CHARGE -- We deduct a premium tax charge from each premium you pay.
The premium tax charge covers taxes assessed against us by a state and/or other
governmental entity. The range of such charge generally is between 0% and 4%.

DEDUCTIONS FROM ACCOUNT VALUE

MONTHLY DEDUCTION AMOUNTS -- Each month we will deduct an amount from your
Account Value to pay for the benefits provided by your policy. This amount is
called the Monthly Deduction Amount and equals the sum of:

- the charge for the cost of insurance;

- the monthly administrative charge;

- the mortality and expense risk charge;

- any Face Amount increase fee;

- any charges for additional benefits provided by rider;

Each Monthly Deduction Amount will be deducted pro rata from the Fixed Account
and each of the Sub-Accounts. The Monthly Deduction Amount will vary from month
to month.

COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE -- The charge for the cost of insurance equals:

- the cost of insurance rate per $1,000, multiplied by

- the amount at risk, divided by

- $1,000.

On any Monthly Activity Date, the amount at risk equals the Death Benefit less
the Account Value on that date, prior to assessing the Monthly Deduction Amount.

Cost of insurance rates will be determined on each policy anniversary based on
our future expectations of such factors as mortality, expenses, interest,
persistency and taxes. The cost of insurance rates will not exceed those based
on the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (ALB), Male or
Female, Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last birthday (unisex rates may be
required in some states). A table of guaranteed cost of insurance rates per
$1,000 will be included in your policy, however, we reserve the right to use
rates less than those shown in the table. Substandard risks will be charged
higher cost of insurance rates that will not exceed rates based on a multiple of
1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (ALB), Male or Female,
Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last birthday (unisex rates may be required in
some states) plus any flat extra amount assessed. The multiple will be based on
the insured's substandard rating.

Any changes in the cost of insurance rates will be made uniformly for all
insureds of the same issue ages, sexes, risk classes and whose coverage has been
in-force for the same length of time. No change in insurance class or cost will
occur on account of deterioration of the insureds' health.

Because your Account Value and death benefit may vary from month to month, the
cost of insurance may also vary on each Monthly Activity Date. The cost of
insurance depends on your policy's amount at risk. Items which may affect the
amount at risk include the amount and timing of premium payments, investment
performance, fees and charges assessed, rider charges, policy loans and changes
to the Face Amount.

MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE -- We deduct a monthly administrative charge from
your Account Value to compensate us for issue and administrative costs of the
policy. During the first 5 years of the policy, the charge is $30 per month.
After 5 years, the charge is $10 per month. In New Jersey, this charge is $30
per month for all years.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE -- We deduct a mortality and expense risk
charge each month from your Account Value. There are two components to the
mortality and expense risk charge. Part of the charge is assessed according to
your Account Value attributable to the Sub-Accounts, and the other part is
assessed based on the initial Face Amount of your policy. The mortality and
expense risk charge each month is equal to the sum of (a) and (b) where

(a) equals:

- the monthly accumulated value mortality and expense risk rate; multiplied by

- the sum of your accumulated values in the Sub-Accounts on the Monthly Activity
  Date, prior to assessing the Monthly Deduction Amount.

and

(b) equals:

- the monthly mortality and expense risk rate per $1,000; multiplied by

- the initial Face Amount; divided by

- $1,000.


During the first 10 years, the current and maximum accumulated value mortality
and expense risk rate is 1/12 of 0.75% per month. Thereafter, the maximum is
1/12 of 0.60% per month. After the 10th policy year, the current accumulated
value mortality and expense risk rate is 1/12 of 0.50% per month on the first
$1,000,000 of accumulated value in the Sub-Accounts plus 1/12 of 0.25% per month
on the accumulated value in the Sub-Accounts that exceeds $1,000,000. The
maximum rate is 1/12 of 0.60% per month.


During the first 10 years, the Face Amount mortality and expense risk rate per
$1,000 of initial Face Amount is individualized based on issue ages and death
benefit guarantee, and is provided in the policy. In Maryland and New Jersey
this charge is individualized based on issue ages and initial Face Amount and is
provided in the policy. Thereafter, there is no charge.

The mortality and expense risk charge compensates us for mortality and expense
risks assumed under the policies. The mortality risk assumed is that the cost of
insurance charges are insufficient to meet actual claims. The expense risk
assumed is that the expense incurred in issuing, distributing and administering
the policies exceed the administrative charges and sales loads collected.
Hartford may keep any difference between the cost it incurs and the charges it
collects.

FACE AMOUNT INCREASE FEE -- We deduct a dollar amount from your Account Value
for an unscheduled increase of the Face Amount on your policy. We deduct the fee
each month for twelve months after the increase. The fee is 1/12 of $1.00 per
month per $1,000 of unscheduled increase in the Face Amount. The fee will not be
less than 1/12 of $500 per month, but will not exceed 1/12 of $3,000 per month.
This fee compensates us for underwriting and processing costs for such
increases.

RIDER CHARGE -- If your policy includes riders, a charge applicable to the
riders is made from the Account Value each month. The charge applicable to these
riders is to compensate Hartford for the anticipated cost of providing these
benefits and is specified on the applicable rider. For a description of the
riders available, see "Your Policy-Supplemental Benefits."

SURRENDER CHARGE -- During the first 9 policy years, surrender charges will be
deducted from your Account Value if:

- you surrender your policy;

- you decrease the Face Amount to an amount lower than it has ever been; or

- you take a withdrawal that causes the Face Amount to fall below the lowest
  previous Face Amount.

The amount of surrender charge is individualized based on your issue ages,
sexes, insurance classes, duration, Face Amount and Death Benefit Guarantee
Amount. In Maryland and New Jersey the Death Benefit Guarantee amount is not
taken into account in the determination of the Surrender Charge. The charge
compensates us for expenses incurred in issuing the policy and the recovery of
acquisition costs. Hartford may keep any difference between the cost it incurs
and the charges it collects. For partial surrender charges applicable to a
decrease in the Face Amount or withdrawal, see "Unscheduled Increases and
Decreases in the Face Amount." The amount of surrender charge varies by policy
year and equals a percentage times the sum of two components: the sales
surrender charge and the underwriting surrender charge. The sales surrender
charge equals the Death Benefit Guarantee Premium. In Maryland and New Jersey
the sales Surrender Charge is based on the initial Face Amount. The underwriting
surrender charge equals $1 per $1000 of initial face amount, but is at least
$500 and no more than $3000.

The percentage by policy years is as follows:

CHARGES FOR THE FUNDS

The investment performance of each Fund reflects the management fee that the
Fund pays to its investment manager as well as other operating expenses that the
Fund incurs. Investment management fees are generally daily fees computed as a
percentage of a Fund's average daily net assets as an annual rate. Please read
the prospectus for each Fund for complete details.

CONTRACT RIGHTS

POLICY OWNER, OR "YOU" -- As long as your policy is in force, you may exercise
all rights under the policy while either of the insureds is alive and no
beneficiary has been irrevocably named.

BENEFICIARY -- You name the beneficiary in your application for the policy. You
may change the beneficiary (unless irrevocably named) while either of the
insureds is alive by notifying us in writing. If no beneficiary is living when
the last surviving insured dies, the death benefit will be paid to you, if
living; otherwise, it will be paid to your estate.

ASSIGNMENT -- You may assign your policy. Until you notify us in writing, no
assignment will be effective against us. We are not responsible for the validity
of any assignment.

STATEMENTS -- We will send you a statement at least once each year, showing:

- the current Account Value, Cash Surrender Value and Face Amount;

- the premiums paid, monthly deduction amounts and any loans since your last
  statement;

- the amount of any Indebtedness;

- any notifications required by the provisions of your policy; and

- any other information required by the Insurance Department of the state where
  your policy was delivered.

CONTRACT LIMITATIONS

ALLOCATIONS TO SUB-ACCOUNTS AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT -- You may allocate amounts to
a maximum of nine (9) Sub-Accounts, or eight (8) Sub-Accounts and the Fixed
Account.

TRANSFERS OF ACCOUNT VALUE -- You may transfer amounts among the Fixed Account
and the Sub-Accounts subject to a charge described below. You may request
transfers in writing or by calling us at 1-800-231-5453. Transfers by telephone
may be made by your agent of record or by your attorney-in-fact pursuant to a
power of attorney. Telephone transfers may not be permitted in some states. We
will not be responsible for losses that result 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 requiring
callers to provide certain identifying information. All transfer instructions
communicated to us by telephone are tape recorded.

You may make one transfer per calendar month free of charge, excluding any
transfers made pursuant to your enrollment in the Dollar Cost Averaging Program.
Each subsequent transfer in excess of one per calendar month will be subject to
a transfer charge of up to $25. We reserve the right to limit at a future date
the size of transfers and remaining balances and to limit the number and
frequency of transfers.

TRANSFERS FROM THE FIXED ACCOUNT -- Except for transfers made under the Dollar
Cost Averaging Program, any transfers from the Fixed Account must occur during
the 30-day period following each policy anniversary, and, if your accumulated
value in the Fixed Account exceeds $1,000, the amount transferred from the Fixed
Account in any policy year may not exceed 25% of the accumulated value in the
Fixed Account on the transfer date.

DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS -- We may defer payment of any Cash Surrender Values,
withdrawals and loan amounts which are not attributable to the Sub-Accounts for
up to six months from the date of the request. If we defer payment for more than
30 days, we will pay you interest.

CHANGES TO CONTRACT OR SEPARATE ACCOUNT

MODIFICATION OF POLICY -- The only way the policy may be modified is by a
written agreement signed by our President, or one of our Vice Presidents,
Secretaries, or Assistant Secretaries.

SUBSTITUTION OF FUNDS -- We reserve the right to substitute the shares of any
other registered investment company for the shares of any Fund already purchased
or to be purchased in the future by the Separate Account provided that the
substitution has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CHANGE IN OPERATION OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT -- The operation of the Separate
Account may be modified to the extent permitted by law, including deregistration
under the securities laws.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT TAXES -- Currently, no charge is made to the Separate Account
for federal, state and local taxes that may be allocable to the Separate
Account. A change in the applicable federal, state or local tax laws which
impose tax on Hartford and/ or the Separate Account may result in a charge
against the policy in the future. Charges for other taxes, if any, allocable to
the Separate Account may also be made.

OTHER BENEFITS

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM -- You may elect to allocate your Net Premiums
among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account pursuant to the Dollar Cost
Averaging (DCA) program. If you choose the DCA program, your Net Premiums will
be deposited into the Hartford Money Market Sub-Account or the Fixed Account.
Amounts will be transferred monthly to the other investment choices in
accordance with your premium allocation instructions. The dollar amount will be
allocated to the investment choices that you specify, in the proportions that
you specify. If, on any transfer date, your Account Value allocated to the
Dollar Cost Averaging program is less than the amount you have elected to
transfer, your DCA program will terminate.

You may cancel your DCA election by notice in writing or by calling us at
1-800-231-5453. We reserve the right to change or discontinue the DCA program.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   19
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The main objective of a DCA program is to minimize the impact of short-term
price fluctuations. The DCA program allows you to take advantage of market
fluctuations. Since the same dollar amount is transferred to your selected
investment choices at set intervals, the DCA program allows you to purchase more
accumulation units when prices are low and fewer accumulation units when prices
are high. Therefore, a lower average cost per accumulation unit may be achieved
over the long term. However, it is important to understand that the DCA program
does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS -- The following supplemental benefits are among the
options that may be included in a policy by rider, subject to the restrictions
and limitations set forth therein.

- LAST SURVIVOR YEARLY RENEWABLE TERM LIFE INSURANCE RIDER -- While the rider is
  in force, we will pay the term life insurance amount upon receipt of due proof
  of death of both insureds, subject to the conditions stated in the rider. This
  rider is only available in Maryland and New Jersey.

- LAST SURVIVOR EXCHANGE OPTION RIDER -- We will exchange your policy for two
  individual policies on the life of each insured, subject to the conditions
  stated in the rider.

- ESTATE PROTECTION RIDER -- We will pay a term insurance benefit upon receipt
  of due proof of the last surviving insured's death while your policy and rider
  are in force, subject to the conditions stated in the rider.

- YEARLY RENEWABLE TERM LIFE INSURANCE RIDER -- While the rider is in force, we
  will pay the term life insurance amount upon receipt of due proof of death of
  the designated insured, subject to the conditions stated in the rider.

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS -- Proceeds under your policy may be paid in a lump sum or
may be applied to one of our four settlement options. The minimum amount that
may be placed under a settlement option is $5,000 (unless we consent to a lesser
amount), subject to our then-current rules. Once payments under the Second
Option, the Third Option or the Fourth Option begin, no surrender may be made
for a lump sum settlement in lieu of the life insurance payments. The following
payment options are available to you or your beneficiary. If a payment option is
not selected, proceeds will be paid in a lump sum. Your beneficiary may choose a
settlement.

FIRST OPTION -- INTEREST INCOME

Payments of interest at the rate we declare (but not less than 3.5% per year) on
the amount applied under this option.

SECOND OPTION -- INCOME OF FIXED AMOUNT

Equal payments of the amount chosen until the amount applied under this option
(with interest of not less than 3.5% per year) is exhausted. The final payment
will be for the balance remaining.

THIRD OPTION -- PAYMENTS FOR A FIXED PERIOD

An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected, which may be from
one to 30 years.

FOURTH OPTION -- LIFE INCOME

- LIFE ANNUITY -- An annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
  annuitant and terminating with the last monthly payment due preceding the
  death of the annuitant.

- LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN -- An annuity providing monthly
  income to the annuitant for a fixed period of 120 months and for as long
  thereafter as the annuitant shall live.

The policy provides for guaranteed dollar amounts of monthly payments for each
$1,000 applied under the four payment options. Under the Fourth Option, the
amount of each payment will depend upon the age of the Annuitant at the time the
first payment is due. If any periodic payment due any payee is less than $200,
we may make payments less often.

The table for the Fourth Option is based on the 1983a Individual Annuity
Mortality Table, set back one year and with a net investment rate of 3.5% per
annum. The tables for the First, Second and Third Options are based on a net
investment rate of 3.5% per annum. We may, however, from time to time, at our
discretion if mortality appears more favorable and interest rates justify, apply
other tables which will result in higher monthly payments for each $1,000
applied under one or more of the four payment options.

Other arrangements for income payments may be agreed upon.

BENEFITS AT MATURITY -- The scheduled maturity date is the last date on which
you may elect to make premium payments. Unless you elect to continue the policy
beyond this date, the policy will terminate and any Cash Surrender Value will be
paid to you.

If elected, the policy may continue in force after the scheduled maturity date
if (a) the policy was in force on the scheduled maturity date; and (b) the owner
of the policy (including any assignee of record) agrees in writing to this
continuation.

At the scheduled maturity date:

- the death benefit will be reduced to the Account Value;

- the Account Value, if any, will continue to fluctuate with investment
  performance

- any loans will continue to accrue interest and become part of Indebtedness

- no future Monthly Deduction Amounts will be deducted

- no further premium payments will be accepted.

All additional benefits provided by rider will deem to have terminated at the
scheduled maturity date.

Otherwise, the policy will terminate on the scheduled maturity date.

CLASS OF PURCHASERS

REDUCED CHARGES FOR ELIGIBLE GROUPS -- Certain charges and deductions described
above may be reduced for policies

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
issued in connection with a specific plan, in accordance with our rules in
effect as of the date the application for a policy is approved. To qualify for
such a reduction, a plan must satisfy certain criteria, i.e. as to size of the
plan, expected number of participants and anticipated premium payment from the
plan. Generally, the sales contacts and effort, administrative costs and
mortality cost per policy vary, based on such factors as the size of the plan,
the purposes for which policies are purchased and certain characteristics of the
plan's members. The amount of reduction and the criteria for qualification will
be reflected in the reduced sales effort and administrative costs resulting
from, and the different mortality experience expected as a result of, sales to
qualifying plans. We may modify, from time to time on a uniform basis, both the
amounts of reductions and the criteria for qualification. Reductions in these
charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person, including the
affected policy owners invested in Separate Account VL II.

PREMIUMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

APPLICATION FOR A POLICY -- To purchase a policy you must submit an application
to us. Within limits, you may choose the initial Face Amount. Policies generally
will be issued only on the lives of insureds between the ages of 20 and 85 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. The minimum initial premium is the amount required to keep the
policy in force for one month, but not less than $50.

Your policy will be effective on the policy date only after we receive all
outstanding delivery requirements and the initial premium payment. The policy
date is the date used to determine all future cyclical transactions on the
policy, such as Monthly Activity Date and policy years.

PREMIUM PAYMENT FLEXIBILITY -- You have considerable flexibility as to when and
in what amounts you pay premiums under your policy.

Prior to policy issue, you choose a planned premium, within a range determined
by us. We will send you premium notices for planned premiums. Such notices may
be sent on an annual, semi-annual or quarterly basis. You may also have premiums
automatically deducted monthly from your checking account. The planned premiums
and payment mode you select are shown on your policy's specifications page. You
may change the planned premiums, subject to our minimum amount rules then in
effect.

After the first premium has been paid, your subsequent premium payments are
flexible. The actual amount and frequency of payment will affect the Account
Value and could affect the amount and duration of insurance provided by the
policy. Your policy may lapse if the value of your policy becomes insufficient
to cover the Monthly Deduction Amounts. In such case you may be required to pay
additional premiums in order to prevent the policy from terminating. For details
see, "Lapse and Reinstatement."

You may pay additional premiums at any time prior to the scheduled maturity
date, subject to the following limitations:

- The minimum premium that we will accept is $50 or the amount required to keep
  the policy in force.

- We reserve the right to refund any excess premiums that would cause the policy
  to fail to meet the definition of life insurance under the Internal Revenue
  Code.

- We reserve the right to require evidence of insurability for any premium
  payment that results in an increase in the death benefit greater than the
  amount of the premium.

- Any premium payment in excess of $1,000,000 is subject to our approval.

ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS -- The initial Net Premium (and any additional
Net Premiums received by us before the end of the right to examine period) will
be allocated to the Hartford Money Market Sub-Account on the later of the policy
date or the date we receive your premium payment.

We will then allocate the Account Value in the Hartford Money Market Sub-Account
to the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts according to the premium allocation
specified in your policy application 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.

You may change your premium allocation upon request in writing. Subsequent Net
Premiums will be allocated to the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts according
to your most recent written instructions as long as the number of investment
choices does not exceed nine (9), and the percentage you allocate to each
Sub-Account and/or the Fixed Account is in whole percentages. If we receive a
premium payment with a premium allocation instruction that does not comply with
the above rules, we will allocate the Net Premium pro rata based on the values
of your existing investment choices.

You will receive several different types of notifications as to what your
current premium allocation is. Each transaction confirmation received after we
receive a premium payment will show how a Net Premium has been allocated.
Additionally, each quarterly statement summarizes the current premium allocation
in effect for your policy.

ACCUMULATION UNITS -- Net Premiums allocated to the Sub-Accounts are used to
credit accumulation units to such Sub-Accounts.

The number of accumulation units in each Sub-Account to be credited to a policy
(including the initial allocation to the Hartford Money Market Sub-Account) and
the amount to be credited to the Fixed Account will be determined, first, by
multiplying the Net Premium by the appropriate allocation percentage in order to
determine the portion of Net Premiums or
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   21
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

transferred Account Value to be invested in the Fixed Account or the
Sub-Account. Each portion of the Net Premium or transferred Account Value to be
invested in a Sub-Account is then divided by the accumulation unit value in a
particular Sub-Account next computed following its receipt. The resulting figure
is the number of accumulation units to be credited to each Sub-Account.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES -- The accumulation unit value for each Sub-Account
will vary to reflect the investment experience of the applicable Fund and will
be determined on each Valuation Day by multiplying the accumulation unit value
of the particular Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Day by the net
investment factor for that Sub-Account for the Valuation Period then ended. The
net investment factor for each of the Sub-Accounts is equal to the net asset
value per share of the corresponding Fund at the end of the Valuation Period
(plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions paid by
that Fund in the Valuation Period then ended) divided by the net asset value per
share of the corresponding Fund at the beginning of the Valuation Period.

All valuations in connection with a policy, (i.e. with respect to determining
Account Value, in connection with policy loans, or in calculation of death
benefits, or with respect to determining the number of accumulation units to be
credited to a policy with each premium payment other than the initial premium
payment) will be made on the date the request or payment is received by us at
the National Service Center, provided such date is a Valuation Day; otherwise
such determination will be made on the next succeeding date which is a Valuation
Day.

ACCOUNT VALUES -- Each policy will have an Account Value. There is no minimum
guaranteed Account Value.

The Account Value of a policy changes on a daily basis and will be computed on
each Valuation Day. The Account Value will vary to reflect the investment
experience of the Sub-Accounts, the interest credited to the Fixed Account and
the Loan Account, and the Monthly Deduction Amounts, Net Premiums paid, and any
withdrawals taken.

A policy's Account Value is related to the net asset value of the Funds
associated with the Sub-Accounts, if any, to which Net Premiums on the policy
have been allocated. The Account Value in the Sub-Accounts on any Valuation Day
is calculated by, first, multiplying the number of accumulation units in each
Sub-Account as of the Valuation Day by the then current value of the
accumulation units in that Sub-Account and then totaling the result for all of
the Sub-Accounts. A policy's Account Value equals the policy's value in all of
the Sub-Accounts, the Fixed Account, and the Loan Account. A policy's Cash Value
is equal to the Account Value less any applicable surrender charges. A policy's
Cash Surrender Value, which is the net amount available upon surrender of the
policy, is the Cash Value less any Indebtedness. See "Accumulation Unit Values,"
above.

We will pay death proceeds, Cash Surrender Values, partial withdrawals, and loan
amounts allocable to the Sub-Accounts within seven days after we receive all the
information needed to process the payment, unless the New York Stock Exchange is
closed for other than a regular holiday or weekend, trading is restricted by the
Commission or the Commission declares that an emergency exists.

DEATH BENEFITS AND POLICY VALUES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEATH BENEFIT -- Your policy provides for the payment of the death proceeds to
the named beneficiary upon receipt of due proof of the death of the last
surviving insured. Your policy will be effective on the policy Date only after
we receive all outstanding delivery requirements and the initial premium
payment. You must notify us in writing as soon as possible after the death of
either insured. The death proceeds payable to the beneficiary equal the death
benefit less any Indebtedness and less any due and unpaid Monthly Deduction
Amount occurring during a grace period. The death benefit depends on the death
benefit option you select, the minimum death benefit provision, and whether or
not the Death Benefit Guarantee is in effect.

DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS -- There are three death benefit options: the Level Death
Benefit Option ("Option A"), the Return of Account Value Death Benefit Option
("Option B") and the Return of Premium Death Benefit Option ("Option C").
Subject to the minimum death benefit described below, the death benefit under
each option is as follows:

- Under Option A, the current Face Amount.

- Under Option B, the current Face Amount plus the Account Value on the date we
  receive due proof of the last surviving insured's death.

- Under Option C, the current Face Amount plus the lesser of: (a) the sum of the
  premiums paid; or (b) $2.5 million.

DEATH BENEFIT OPTION CHANGES -- You may change your death benefit option. You
must notify us of the change in writing. You may change Option C or Option B to
Option A. If you do, the Face Amount will become that amount available as a
death benefit immediately prior to the option change. You may change Option A to
Option B. If you do, the Face Amount will become that amount available as a
death benefit immediately prior to the option change, reduced by the
then-current Account Value. Any resulting decrease in the Face Amount may be
subject to a partial surrender charge.

MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT -- Your policy has a minimum death benefit. We will
automatically increase the death benefit so that it will never be less than the
Account Value multiplied by the minimum death benefit percentage for the then
current year. This percentage varies according to the policy year and each
insured's issue age, sex (where unisex rates are not used) and insurance class.

EXAMPLES OF MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT:

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

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 Indebtedness, constitutes the death proceeds payable 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%).

UNSCHEDULED INCREASES AND DECREASES IN FACE AMOUNT -- At any time after the
first policy year, you may request in writing to change the Face Amount. The
minimum amount by which the Face Amount can be increased or decreased is based
on our rules then in effect.

We reserve the right to limit the number of increases or decreases made under a
policy to no more than one in any 12 month period.

All requests to increase the Face Amount must be applied for on a new
application and accompanied by your policy. All requests will be subject to
evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Any increase approved by us will be
effective on the Monthly Activity Date shown on the new policy specifications
page, provided that the Monthly Deduction Amount for the first month after the
effective date of the increase is made. Each unscheduled increase in Face Amount
is subject to an increase fee of 1/12 of $1 per $1,000 of each increase per
month for the first twelve months from the effective date of each increase. This
amount will not be less than 1/12 of $500 but not greater than 1/12 of $3,000.

A decrease in the Face Amount will be effective on the Monthly Activity Date
following the date we receive your request in writing. The remaining Face Amount
must not be less than that specified in our minimum rules then in effect. If
during the surrender charge period, you decrease your Face Amount to an amount
lower than it has ever been, a partial surrender charge will be assessed.

The surrender charge assessed will be:

- the surrender charge applicable to the then current policy year, if any;
  multiplied by

- the percentage described below.

The percentage will be determined by:

- subtracting the new Face Amount from the lowest previous Face Amount; and

- dividing that difference by the lowest previous Face Amount.

The surrender charge assessed will be deducted from your Account Value on the
Monthly Activity Date on which the decrease becomes effective. We will also
reduce the surrender charges applicable to future policy years and provide you a
revised schedule of surrender charges.

CHARGES AND POLICY VALUES -- Your policy values decrease due to the deduction of
policy charges. Policy values may increase or decrease depending on investment
performance; investment expenses and fees reduce the investment performance of
the Sub-Accounts. Fluctuations in your account value may have an effect on your
death benefit. If your policy lapses, the policy terminates and no death benefit
will be paid.

MAKING WITHDRAWALS FROM YOUR POLICY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SURRENDER -- Provided your policy has a Cash Surrender Value, you may surrender
your policy to us. In such case you may be subject to a surrender charge, see
"Surrender Charge." We will pay you the Cash Surrender Value. Our liability
under the policy will cease as of the date of your request for surrender,or the
date you request to have your policy surrendered, if later.

WITHDRAWALS -- One withdrawal is allowed per calendar month. Withdrawals may be
subject to a surrender charge, see "Surrender Charge." You may request a
withdrawal in writing. The minimum withdrawal allowed is $500. The maximum
partial withdrawal is the Cash Surrender Value, minus $1000. If the death
benefit option then in effect is Option A or Option C, the Face Amount will be
reduced by the amount of any partial withdrawal. Unless specified, the
withdrawal will be deducted on a pro rata basis from the Fixed Account and the
Sub-Accounts. You may be assessed a charge of up to $10 for each partial
withdrawal.

RIGHT TO EXAMINE A POLICY -- 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.

LOANS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AVAILABILITY OF LOANS -- At any time while the policy is in force, you may
borrow against the policy by assigning it as sole security to us. Any new loan
taken together with any existing Indebtedness may not exceed the Cash Surrender
Value on the date we grant a loan. The minimum loan amount that we will allow is
$500.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   23
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless you specify otherwise, all loan amounts will be transferred on a pro rata
basis from the Fixed Account and each of the Sub-Accounts to the Loan Account.

If total Indebtedness equals or exceeds the Cash Value on any Monthly Activity
Date, the policy will then go into default. See "Lapse and Reinstatement."

PREFERRED INDEBTEDNESS -- If, at any time after the tenth (10th) policy
anniversary, your Account Value exceeds the total of all premiums paid since
issue, a portion of your Indebtedness may qualify as preferred. Preferred
Indebtedness is charged a lower interest rate than non-preferred Indebtedness,
if any. The maximum amount of preferred Indebtedness is the amount by which the
Account Value exceeds the total premiums paid and is determined on each Monthly
Activity Date.

LOAN REPAYMENTS -- You can repay all or any part of a loan at any time while
your policy is in force and either of the insureds' is alive. The amount of your
policy loan repayment will be deducted from the Loan Account. It will be
allocated among the Fixed Account and Sub-Accounts in the same percentage as
premiums are allocated.

EFFECT OF LOANS ON ACCOUNT VALUE -- A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a
permanent effect on your Account Value. This effect occurs because the
investment results of each Sub-Account will apply only to the amount remaining
in such Sub-Accounts. In addition, the rate of interest credited to the Fixed
Account will usually be different than the rate credited to the Loan Account.
The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect on your Account Value
is likely to be. Such effect could be favorable or unfavorable. If the Fixed
Account and the Sub-Accounts earn more than the annual interest rate for funds
held in the Loan Account, your Account Value will not increase as rapidly as it
would have had no loan been made. If the Fixed Account and 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. Additionally, if not repaid, the
aggregate amount of the outstanding Indebtedness will reduce the death proceeds
and the Cash Surrender Value otherwise payable.

CREDITED INTEREST -- Any amounts in the Loan Account will be credited with
interest at an annual rate of 3.5%.

INTEREST CHARGED ON INDEBTEDNESS -- Interest will accrue daily on the
Indebtedness at the policy loan rate. Because the interest charged on
Indebtedness may exceed the rate credited to the Loan Account, the Indebtedness
may grow faster than the Loan Account. If this happens, any difference between
the value of the Loan Account and the Indebtedness will be transferred on each
Monthly Activity Date from the Fixed Account and Sub-Accounts to the Loan
Account on a pro rata basis.

POLICY LOAN RATES -- The table below shows the interest rates we will charge on
your Indebtedness.

LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the first policy year, the policy will go into default on any Monthly
Activity Date on which the Account Value less Indebtedness is not sufficient to
cover the Monthly Deduction Amount.

During the second policy year, the policy will go into default on any Monthly
Activity Date on which the Account Value less Indebtedness less 1/2 of the
surrender charge for the second policy year is not sufficient to cover the
Monthly Deduction Amount.

During the third policy year and thereafter, the policy will go into default on
any Monthly Activity Date if the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover
the Monthly Deduction Amount.

If the policy goes into default, we will send you a lapse notice warning you
that the policy is in danger of terminating. That lapse notice will tell you the
minimum premium required to keep the policy from terminating. This minimum
premium equals the amount to pay three Monthly Deduction Amounts as of the day
the policy grace period began. That notice will be mailed both to you on the
first day the policy goes into default, at your last know address, and to any
assignee of record.

GRACE PERIOD -- We will keep your policy in force for the 61 day period
following the date your policy goes into default. We call that period the policy
Grace Period. However, if we have not received the required premiums (specified
in your lapse notice) by the end of the policy Grace Period, the policy will
terminate unless the Death Benefit Guarantee is in effect. If the last surviving
insured dies during the Grace Period, we will pay the death benefit.

DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE -- The policy will remain in force at the end of the
policy Grace Period as long as the Death Benefit Guarantee is available, as
described below.

The Death Benefit Guarantee is available as long as:

- the policy is in the Death Benefit Guarantee Period; and

- on each Monthly Activity Date during that period, the cumulative premiums paid
  into the policy, less Indebtedness and less withdrawals from the policy, equal
  or exceed an amount known as the Cumulative Death Benefit Guarantee Premium.

The Death Benefit Guarantee Period is determined at issue, based on each
insured's age, sex and risk classification. Some states may limit the maximum
length of the Death Benefit Guarantee Period. In Massachusetts, the maximum
length of the Death Benefit Guarantee Period is five (5) years. The Cumulative
Death Benefit Guarantee Premium is the premium required to maintain the Death
Benefit Guarantee.

If the Death Benefit Guarantee is available and you fail to pay the required
premium as defined in your lapse notice by the end of
<PAGE>
24                                   HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the policy grace period, the Death Benefit Guarantee will then go into effect.
The policy will remain in force, however:

- all riders will terminate;

- the Death Benefit Option becomes Level;

- the Face Amount will be reduced to the Death Benefit Guarantee Amount; and

- any future scheduled increases in the Face Amount will be canceled.

The Death Benefit Guarantee Amount is the amount selected by you at the time you
apply for the policy. It is the death benefit while the Death Benefit Guarantee
is in effect.

As long as the policy remains in default and the Death Benefit Guarantee is
available, the Death Benefit Guarantee will remain in effect on each subsequent
Monthly Activity Dates. You may be required to make premium payments to keep the
Death Benefit Guarantee available, as described above.

If during the Death Benefit Guarantee Period, the Face Amount is decreased below
the current Death Benefit Guarantee Amount, the Death Benefit Guarantee Amount
will become the new Face Amount. A new monthly Death Benefit Guarantee Premium
will be calculated. We will send you a notice of the new Monthly Death Benefit
Guarantee Premium, which will be used in calculating the Cumulative Death
Benefit Guarantee Premium in subsequent months.

DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE GRACE PERIOD -- If, on each Monthly Activity Date during
the Death Benefit Guarantee Period, the cumulative premiums paid into the
policy, less Indebtedness and less withdrawals from the policy, do not equal or
exceed the Cumulative Death Benefit Guarantee Premium on that date, a Death
Benefit Guarantee Grace Period of 61 days will begin. We will mail to you and
any assignee a notice. That notice will warn you that you are in danger of
losing the Death Benefit Guarantee and will tell you the amount of premium you
need to pay to continue the Death Benefit Guarantee.

The Death Benefit Guarantee will be removed from the policy if the required
premium is not paid by the end of the Death Benefit Guarantee Grace Period. You
will receive a written notification of the change and the Death Benefit
Guarantee will never again be available or in effect on the policy. If the Death
Benefit Guarantee was in effect, the policy will terminate at the end of the
Death Benefit Guarantee Grace Period.

REINSTATEMENT -- Unless the policy has been surrendered for its Cash Surrender
Value, the policy may be reinstated prior to the maturity date, provided:

- the insureds alive at the end of the grace period are also alive on the date
  of reinstatement;

- You make your request in writing within five years from the date the policy
  lapsed;

- You submit to us satisfactory evidence of insurability;

- any policy Indebtedness is repaid or carried over to the reinstated policy;
  and

- You pay sufficient premium to (1) cover all Monthly Deduction Amounts that are
  due and unpaid during the Grace Period and (2) keep your policy in force for
  three months after the date of reinstatement.

The Account Value on the reinstatement date will reflect:

- the Cash Value at the time of termination; plus

- Net Premiums derived from premiums paid at the time of reinstatement; minus

- the Monthly Deduction Amounts that were due and unpaid during the policy Grace
  Period; plus

- the Surrender Charge at the time of reinstatement.

The surrender charge will be based on the duration from the original policy date
as though the policy had never lapsed.

TAXES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 "Accumulation Unit Values"). As a result, such
investment income and realized capital gains are automatically applied to
increase reserves under the policy.

Hartford does not expect to incur any federal income tax on the earnings or
realized capital gains attributable to the Separate
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY                                   25
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 -- GENERALLY

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 policy 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.

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 life insurance policy will meet the Section 7702
definition of a life insurance contract.

Hartford also believes that any loan received under a policy will be treated as
Indebtedness of the policy owner, and that no part of any loan under a policy
will constitute income to the policy owner. A surrender or assignment of the
policy may have tax consequences depending upon the circumstances. Policy owners
should consult a qualified tax adviser concerning the effect of such changes.

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 Last Survivor Exchange Option Rider permits, under limited circumstances, a
policy to be split into two individual policies on the life of each of the
Insureds. A policy split may have adverse tax consequences. It is not clear
whether a policy split will be treated as a nontaxable exchange or transfer
under the Code. Unless a policy split is so treated, among other things, the
split or transfer will result in the recognition of taxable income on the gain
in the policy. In addition, it is not clear whether, in all circumstances, the
individual policies that result from a policy split would be treated as life
insurance policies under Section 7702 of the Code or would be classified as
modified endowment contracts. The policy owner should consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the possible adverse tax consequences of a policy split.

The Maturity Date Extension Rider allows a policy owner to extend the Maturity
Date to the date of the death of the last surviving insured. If the Maturity
Date of the policy is extended by rider, Hartford believes 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.

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 contract value is generally not taxable to the owner unless
amounts are received (or are deemed to be received) under the policy prior to
the Insured's death. If there is a total withdrawal from the policy, then the
surrender value will be includible in the owner's income to the extent that the
amount received exceeds the "investment in the contract." (If there is any debt
at the time of a total withdrawal, 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 under the policy previously to the extent such amounts
received were excludable from gross income. Whether partial withdrawals (or such
other amounts deemed to be distributed) from the policy constitute income to the
owner depends, in part, upon whether the policy is considered a modified
endowment contract for federal income tax purposes.

MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS

Code Section 7702A applies an additional test, the "seven-pay" test, to life
insurance contracts. 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 described in Section 7702A(c). A modified
endowment contract ("MEC") is a life insurance policy that either:
(i) satisfies the Section 7702 definition of life insurance, but fails the
seven-pay test of Section 7702A or (ii) is exchanged for a MEC. A policy fails
the seven-pay test if the accumulated amount paid into the policy at any time
during the first seven policy years exceeds the sum of the net level premiums
that would have been paid up to that point if the policy provided for paid-up
future benefits after the payment of seven level annual premiums. Computational
rules for the seven-pay test are described in Section 7702A(c).

If the policy satisfies the seven-pay test at issuance, distributions and loans
made thereafter will not be subject to the MEC rules, unless the policy is
changed materially. The seven-pay test will be applied anew at any time the
policy undergoes a material change, which includes an increase in the Face
Amount. In addition, if there is a reduction in benefits under the policy within
the first seven years, the seven-pay test is applied as if the policy had
initially been issued at the reduced benefit level. Any reduction in benefits
attributable to the nonpayment of premiums will not be taken into account for
purposes of the seven-pay test if the benefits are reinstated within 90 days
after the reduction.

A policy that is classified as a MEC 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, if the policy is classified as a MEC, then withdrawals from
the contract will be considered first as withdrawals of income and then as a
recovery of premium payments. Thus, withdrawals will be includible in income to
the extent the contract value exceeds the investment in the contract. The amount
of any loan (including unpaid interest thereon) under the contract will be
treated as a withdrawal from the contract for tax purposes. In addition, if the
owner assigns or pledges any portion of the value of a contract (or agrees to
assign or pledge any portion), then such portion will be treated as a withdrawal
from the contract for tax purposes. Taxable withdrawals are subject to an
additional 10% tax, with certain exceptions. The owner's investment in the
contract is increased by the amount includible in income with respect to such
assignment, pledge, or loan, though it is not affected by any other aspect of
the assignment, pledge, or loan (including its release or repayment).

Generally, only distributions and loans made in the first year in which a policy
becomes a MEC, and in subsequent years, are
<PAGE>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
taxable. However, distributions and loans made in the two years prior to a
policy's failing the seven-pay test are deemed to be in anticipation of failure
and are subject to tax.

Before assigning, pledging, or requesting a loan under a policy that is a MEC,
an owner should consult a qualified tax adviser.

All MEC policies that are issued within any calendar year to the same policy
owner by one company or its affiliates are treated as one MEC policy for the
purpose of determining the taxable portion of any loan or distribution.

Hartford has instituted procedures to monitor whether a policy may become
classified as a MEC after issue.

ESTATE AND GENERATION-SKIPPING TAXES

When the last surviving Insured dies, the Death Proceeds will generally be
includible in the policy owner's estate for purposes of federal estate tax if
the last surviving Insured owned the policy. If the policy owner was not the
last surviving Insured, the fair market value of the policy would be included in
the policy owner's estate upon the policy owner's death. The policy would not be
includible in the last surviving Insured's estate if he or she neither retained
incidents of ownership at death nor had given up ownership within three years
before death.

The federal estate tax is integrated with the federal gift tax under a unified
rate schedule and unified credit which shelters up to $675,000 (for 2000) from
the estate and gift tax. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 gradually raises the
credit over the next six years to $1,000,000. In addition, an unlimited marital
deduction may be available for federal estate and gift tax purposes. The
unlimited marital deduction permits the deferral of taxes until the death of the
surviving spouse.

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.

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 qualified tax adviser
should be consulted to determine the impact of these taxes.

LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NON-RESIDENT 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.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL II was established as a separate account under Connecticut
law on September 30, 1994. The Separate Account is classified as a unit
investment trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SERVICES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS -- Title to the assets of the Separate Account is held by
Hartford. The assets are kept physically segregated and are held separate and
apart from Hartford's general corporate assets. Records are maintained of all
purchases and redemptions of Fund shares held in each of the Sub-Accounts.

EXPERTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS -- The audited financial statements included in
this registration statement have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP,
independent public accountants, as indicated in their reports with respect
thereto, and are included herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as
experts in giving said reports. Reference is made to the report on the statutory
financial statements of Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company which states
the statutory financial statements are presented in accordance with statutory
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners and the State of Connecticut Insurance Department, and
are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The principal business address of Arthur Andersen LLP is One Financial Plaza,
Hartford, Connecticut 06103.

ACTUARIAL EXPERT -- The hypothetical Policy illustrations included in this
Statement of Additional Information and the registration statement with respect
to the Separate Account have been approved by Thomas P. Kalmbach, FSA, MAAA,
Actuary for Hartford, and are included in reliance upon his opinion as to their
reasonableness.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO") serves as principal underwriter
for the policies and will offer the policies on a continuous basis. HESCO is
controlled by Hartford and is located at the same address as Hartford. HESCO is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").

The policies will be sold by salespersons who represent Hartford as insurance
agents and who are registered representatives of HESCO or certain other
registered broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with
HESCO.

During the first Policy Year, the maximum sales commission payable to Hartford
agents, independent registered insurance

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
brokers, and other registered broker-dealers, is 45% of the premium paid up to a
Target Premium, and 5% of any excess. In Policy Years 2 through 10, such sales
commission will not exceed 5.5% of premiums paid. Thereafter, agent commissions
will not exceed 2% of premiums paid. Sales commissions may be less for premiums
attributable to Supplemental Face Amount. Additionally, expense allowances may
be paid. A sales representative may be required to return all or a portion of
the commissions paid if the Policy terminates prior to the Policy's second
Policy Anniversary.

Broker-dealers or financial institutions are compensated according to a schedule
set forth by HESCO and any applicable rules or regulations for variable
insurance compensation. Compensation is generally based on premium payments.
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. HESCO, its affiliates or Hartford may also make compensation
arrangements with certain broker-dealers or other financial institutions based
on total sales by the broker-dealer or financial institution of insurance
products. These payments, which may be different for broker-dealers or financial
institutions, will be made by HESCO, its affiliates or Hartford out of their
assets and will not effect the amounts paid by the policy owner to purchase,
hold or surrender variable insurance products.

The following table shows officers and directors of HESCO:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CHARGES

SALES LOAD -- The maximum sales load under the policy is 6% of premium in order
to cover expenses related to the sale and distribution of the Policy.

REDUCED CHARGES FOR ELIGIBLE GROUPS -- Certain charges and deductions described
above may be reduced for policies issued in connection with a specific plan, in
accordance with our rules in effect as of the date the application for a policy
is approved. To qualify for such a reduction, a plan must satisfy certain
criteria, i.e. as to size of the plan, expected number of participants and
anticipated premium payment from the plan. Generally, the sales contacts and
effort, administrative costs and mortality cost per policy vary, based on such
factors as the size of the plan, the purposes for which policies are purchased
and certain characteristics of the plan's members. The amount of reduction and
the criteria for qualification will be reflected in the reduced sales effort and
administrative costs resulting from, and the different mortality experience
expected as a result of, sales to qualifying plans. We may modify, from time to
time on a uniform basis, both the amounts of reductions and the criteria for
qualification. Reductions in these charges will not be unfairly discriminatory
against any person, including the affected policy owners invested in Separate
Account VL II.

UNDERWRITING PROCEDURES -- To purchase a policy you must submit an application
to us. Within limits, you may choose the initial Face Amount. Policies generally
will be issued only on the lives of insureds between the ages of 20 and 85 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 rates will be determined on each policy anniversary based on
our future expectations of such factors as mortality, expenses, interest,
persistency and taxes. For preferred and standard risks, the cost of insurance
rate will not exceed those based on the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary
Mortality Table (ALB), Male or Female, Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last
birthday (unisex rates may be required in some states). A table of guaranteed
cost of insurance rates per $1,000 will be included in your policy, however, we
reserve the right to use rates less than those shown in the table. Special risk
classes are used when mortality experience in excess of the standard risk
classes is expected. These substandard risks will be charged a higher cost of
insurance rate that will not exceed rates based on a multiple of 1980
Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table (ALB), Male or Female,
Nonsmoker or Smoker Table, age last birthday (unisex rates may be required in
some states) plus any flat extra amount assessed. The multiple will be based on
the insured's substandard rating.

INCREASES IN FACE AMOUNT -- At any time after the first policy year, you may
request in writing to change the Face Amount. The minimum amount by which the
Face Amount can be increased is based on our rules then in effect.

We reserve the right to limit the number of increases or decreases made under a
policy to no more than one in any 12 month period.

All requests to increase the Face Amount must be applied for on a new
application and accompanied by your policy. All requests will be subject to
evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Any increase approved by us will be
effective on the Monthly Activity Date shown on the new policy specifications
page, provided that the Monthly Deduction Amount for the first month after the
effective date of the increase is made. Each unscheduled increase in Face Amount
is subject to an increase fee of 1/12 of $1 per $1,000 of each increase per
month for the first twelve months from the effective date of each increase. This
amount will not be less than 1/12 of $500 but not greater than 1/12 of $3,000.

ILLUSTRATION OF DEATH BENEFITS, ACCOUNT VALUES
AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES

The following tables illustrate the way in which a Policy operates. They show
how the Death Benefit, Account Values and Cash Surrender Values 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 illustrations assume the
following: (a) a male, preferred non-nicotine, age 55, and a female, preferred
non-nicotine, age 55, with $1,000,000 of Face Amount, a Death Benefit Guarantee
Amount of $500,000, and a premium of $10,000.00 paid in all years; (b) a male,
preferred non-nicotine, age 55, and a female, preferred non-nicotine, age 55,
with $1,000,000 of Face Amount, a Death Benefit Guarantee Amount of $1,000,000,
and a premium of $20,000.00 paid in all years.

The Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash 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 was 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, Account
Values and Cash Surrender Values would change if current Cost of Insurance
charges change.


The amounts shown for the Death Benefits, Account Values and Cash Surrender
Values as of the end of each Policy Year take into account an average daily
charge equal to an annual charge of 1.09% 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 1.09% average daily charge) of
-1.09%, 4.91% and 10.91%, respectively.


In addition, the Death Benefits, Account Values and Cash Surrender Values as of
the end of each Policy Year take into account the front-end sales load, premium
tax charge (assumed to be 1.75% in these illustrations), Cost of Insurance
charge, monthly administrative fee, and mortality and expense risk charge.

The hypothetical returns shown in the tables are without any tax charges that
may be allocable 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%, 6%, 12%, respectively, to cover any tax
charges.

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 Insured's age and 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 and Annuity Insurance Company
Separate Account VL II and to the Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account VL II (Bond Fund,
Stock Fund, Money Market Fund, Advisers Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund,
Mortgage Securities Fund, Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Dividend
and Growth Fund, Growth and Income Fund, International Advisers Fund, Small
Company Fund, MidCap Fund, Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, Fidelity VIP
Overseas Portfolio and Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager Portfolio) (collectively,
the Account) as of December 31, 1999, 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,
1999, 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 VL II -- HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

1.  ORGANIZATION:

Separate Account VL II (the Account) is a separate investment account within
Hartford Life and Annuity 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). Realized gains and losses on
the sales of securities are computed on the basis of identified cost of the fund
shares sold. 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, 1999.

C)  UNIT TRANSACTIONS -- Unit transactions are executed based on the unit values
calculated at the close of the business day.

D)  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.

E)  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:

A)  DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES FROM THE ACCOUNT VALUE -- On the policy date and on
each subsequent monthly activity date, the Company will deduct from the Account
an amount to cover mortality and expense risk charges, cost of insurance,
administrative charges and any other benefits provided by the rider. These
charges, which may vary from month to month in accordance which the terms of the
contracts, are deducted through termination of units of interest from the
applicable contractholders' accounts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account VL II and to the
Owners of Units of Interest therein:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account VL II (Asia Pacific
Growth, Diversified Income, The George Putnam Fund of Boston, Global Asset
Allocation, Global Growth, Growth and Income, Health Sciences, High Yield,
Income, International Growth, International Growth and Income, International New
Opportunities, Investors, Money Market, New Opportunities, New Value, OTC &
Emerging Growth, Utilities Growth and Income, Vista, and Voyager sub-accounts),
(collectively, the Account) as of December 31, 1999, 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,
1999, and the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for
the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL II -- HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999

1.  ORGANIZATION:

Separate Account VL II (the Account) is a separate investment account within
Hartford Life and Annuity 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
policyowners of the Company in the various mutual funds (the Funds) as directed
by the policyowners.

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). Realized gains and losses on the
sales of securities are computed on the basis of identified cost of the fund
shares sold. Dividend and capital gains income is accrued as of the ex-dividend
date. Capital gains income represents dividends from the Funds which are
characterized as capital gains under tax regulations.

B) SECURITY VALUATION -- The 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, 1999.

C) UNIT TRANSACTIONS -- Unit transactions are executed based on the unit values
calculated at the close of the business day. All unit transactions are executed
at fair value.

D) 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.

E) 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:

A) COST OF INSURANCE -- In accordance with terms of the policies, the Company
assesses deductions for costs of insurance charges 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 charges may also vary.

B) MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE -- The Company, as issuer of variable life
policies, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and, with respect to
the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of 0.80% of the Account's average
daily net assets. These charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments
and fees on the accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

C) ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES -- The Company assesses a monthly administrative
charge to compensate the Company for administrative costs in connection with the
policies. This charge covers the average expected cost for these services and
varies based on the face amount of the underlying policy, among other factors.
These charges are reflected in surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the
accompanying statements of changes in net assets.

D) DEDUCTION OF ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE -- Annual maintenance fees are deducted
through termination of units of interest from applicable policyowners' accounts,
in accordance with the terms of the policies. These charges are reflected in
surrenders for benefit payments and fees on the accompanying statements of
changes in net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(STATUTORY BASIS)
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)

(Unaudited)

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

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Hartford Life and Annuity
Insurance Company (the Company) have been prepared in conformity with statutory
accounting practices prescribed by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners and the Connecticut Department of Insurance. Certain information
and note disclosures which are normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with statutory accounting practices have been condensed
or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management,
these statements include all adjustments which were normal recurring adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with statutory accounting
practices. For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 1 of
Notes to Financial Statements in Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company's
1999 statutory basis financial statements.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to
conform to the current year classification of transactions and accounts.

2. INVESTMENTS:

In October 1998, the Company became aware of allegations of improper activities
at Commercial Financial Services Inc. (CFS), a securitizer and servicer of asset
backed securities. On December 11, 1998, CFS filed for protection under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code and, in June 1999, CFS ceased operations. In August
1999, the Company sold all of its CFS holdings recognizing a $36, after tax,
realized capital loss.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
              ----------------------------------------------------

To the Board of Directors of
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company:

We have audited the accompanying statutory balance sheets of Hartford Life and
Annuity Insurance Company (a Connecticut Corporation and wholly owned subsidiary
of Hartford Life Insurance Company) (the Company) as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the related statutory statements of operations, changes in capital and
surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1999. These statutory financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
statutory financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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.

The Company presents its financial statements in conformity with statutory
accounting practices as described in Note 2 of notes to statutory financial
statements. When financial statements are presented for purposes other than for
filing with a regulatory agency, auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States require that an auditors' report on them state whether they are
presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The accounting practices used by the Company vary from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States as explained and quantified
in Note 2.

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter discussed in the preceding
paragraph, the statutory financial statements referred to above do not present
fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999.

In our opinion, the statutory financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity
with statutory accounting practices as described in Note 2.

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the "Company") is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company ("HLIC"), which is an indirect
subsidiary of Hartford Life, Inc. ("HLI"). HLI is indirectly majority owned by
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. ("The Hartford"). On February 10,
1997, HLI filed a registration statement, as amended, with the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to the initial public offering of HLI Class A
Common Stock (the "Offering"). Pursuant to the Offering on May 22, 1997, HLI
sold to the public 26 million shares, representing approximately 18.6% of the
equity ownership of HLI.

In 1998, the Company changed its name to Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
Company from ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company.

The Company offers a complete line of fixed and variable annuities, as well as
variable, universal and traditional individual life insurance.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statutory basis financial statements of the Company were
prepared in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and
the State of Connecticut Department of Insurance. Certain reclassifications have
been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year
presentation.

Current prescribed statutory accounting practices include accounting
publications of the NAIC, as well as state laws, regulations and general
administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass
accounting practices approved by state insurance departments. The Company does
not follow any permitted statutory accounting practices that have a material
effect on statutory surplus, statutory net income or risk-based capital.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory 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 reported periods. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include those used
in determining the liability for aggregate reserves for future benefits and the
liability for premium and other deposit funds. Although some variability is
inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are
adequate.

STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES VERSUS GAAP

Statutory accounting practices and generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") differ in certain significant respects. These differences principally
involve:

(1) treatment of policy acquisition costs (commissions, underwriting and selling
    expenses, etc.) which are charged to expense when incurred for statutory
    purposes rather than on a pro-rata basis over the expected life and gross
    profit stream of the policy for GAAP purposes;

(2) recognition of premium revenues, which for statutory purposes are generally
    recorded as collected or when due during the premium paying period of the
    contract and which for GAAP purposes, for universal life policies and
    investment products, generally only consist of charges assessed to policy
    account balances for cost of insurance, policy administration and
    surrenders. When policy charges received relate to coverage or services to
    be provided in the future, the charges are recognized as revenue on a
    pro-rata basis over the expected life and gross profit stream of the policy.
    Also, for GAAP purposes, premiums for traditional life insurance policies
    are recognized as revenues when they are due from policyholders;

(3) development of liabilities for future policy benefits, which for statutory
    purposes predominantly use interest rate and mortality assumptions
    prescribed by the NAIC which may vary considerably from interest and
    mortality assumptions used under GAAP;

(4) providing for income taxes based on current taxable income only for
    statutory purposes, rather than establishing additional assets or
    liabilities for deferred Federal income taxes to recognize the tax effect
    related to reporting revenues and expenses in different periods for
    financial reporting and tax return purposes or required under GAAP;

(5) excluding certain assets designated as non-admitted assets (e.g., negative
    Interest Maintenance Reserve, and past due agents' balances) from the
    balance sheet for statutory purposes by directly charging surplus;

(6) the calculation of post retirement benefits obligation which, for statutory
    accounting, excludes non-vested employees whereas GAAP liabilities include a
    provision for such employees; statutory and GAAP accounting permit either
    immediate recognition of the liability or straight-line amortization of the
    liability over a period not to exceed 20 years. For GAAP, The Hartford's
    obligation was immediately recognized, whereas for statutory accounting, the
    obligation is being recognized ratably over a 20 year period;

                                      F-6
<PAGE>
(7) establishing a formula reserve for realized and unrealized losses due to
    default and equity risk associated with certain invested assets (Asset
    Valuation Reserve) for statutory purposes; as well as the deferral and
    amortization of realized gains and losses, caused by changes in interest
    rates during the period the asset is held, into income over the remaining
    life to maturity of the asset sold (Interest Maintenance Reserve) for
    statutory purposes; whereas on a GAAP basis, no such formula reserve is
    required and realized gains and losses are recognized in the period the
    asset is sold;

(8) the reporting of reserves and benefits net of reinsurance ceded for
    statutory purposes; whereas on a GAAP basis, reserves are reported gross of
    reinsurance with reserve credits presented as recoverable assets;

(9) the reporting of fixed maturities at amortized cost for statutory purposes,
    whereas GAAP requires that fixed maturities be classified as
    "held-to-maturity," "available-for-sale" or "trading," based on the
    Company's intentions with respect to the ultimate disposition of the
    security and its ability to affect those intentions. The Company's bonds
    were classified on a GAAP basis as available-for-sale and accordingly, those
    investments and common stocks were reflected at fair value with the
    corresponding impact included as a separate component of Stockholder's
    Equity; as well as the change in the basis of the Company's other invested
    assets, which consist primarily of limited partnership investments, which is
    recognized as income under GAAP and as a change in surplus under statutory
    accounting; and

(10) statutory accounting calculates separate account liabilities using
    prescribed actuarial methodologies, which approximate the market value of
    separate account assets less applicable surrender charges. The separate
    account surplus generated by these reserving methods is recorded as an
    amount due to or from the separate account on the statutory basis balance
    sheet, with changes reflected in the statutory basis results of operations.
    On a GAAP basis, separate account assets and liabilities are held at fair
    value.

As of and for the years ended December 31, the significant differences between
Statutory and GAAP basis net income and capital and surplus for the Company are
as follows:

AGGREGATE RESERVES FOR FUTURE BENEFITS AND LIABILITY FOR PREMIUM AND OTHER
DEPOSIT FUNDS

Aggregate reserves for payment of future life, health and annuity benefits were
computed in accordance with applicable actuarial standards. Reserves for life
insurance policies are generally based on the 1958 and 1980 Commissioner's
Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables and various valuation rates ranging from 2.5%
to 6%. Accumulation and on-benefit annuity reserves are based principally on
individual annuity tables at various rates ranging from

2.5% to 8.75% and using the Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method
("CARVM").

The Company has established separate accounts to segregate the assets and
liabilities of certain life insurance and annuity contracts that must be
segregated from the Company's general assets under the terms of its contracts.
The assets consist primarily of marketable securities and are reported at market
value. Premiums, benefits and expenses of these contracts are reported in the
statutory basis statements of operations.

An analysis of Annuity Actuarial Reserves and Deposit Liabilities by Withdrawal
Characteristics as of December 31, 1999 (including general and separate account
liabilities) is as follows:

INVESTMENTS

Investments in bonds are carried at amortized cost. Bonds that are deemed
ineligible to be held at amortized cost by the NAIC Securities Valuation Office
("SVO") are carried at the appropriate SVO published value. When a reduction in
the value of a security is deemed to be unrecoverable, the decline in value is
reported as a realized loss and the carrying value is adjusted accordingly.
Short-term investments consist of money market funds and are stated at cost,
which approximates fair value. Common stocks are carried at fair value with the
current year change in the difference from cost reflected in surplus. Mortgage
loans, which are carried at cost and approximate fair value, include investments
in assets backed by mortgage loan pools. Other invested assets are generally
recorded at fair value.

The Asset Valuation Reserve ("AVR") is designed to provide a standardized
reserving process for realized and unrealized losses due to default and equity
risks associated with invested assets. The AVR balances were $4,935 and $21,782
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Additionally, the Interest
Maintenance Reserve ("IMR") captures net realized capital gains and losses, net
of applicable income taxes, resulting from changes in interest rates and
amortizes these gains or losses into income over the life of the bond or
mortgage sold. The IMR balance as of December 31, 1999 is an asset balance of
$981 and is reflected as a component of non-admitted assets in Unassigned Funds
in accordance with statutory accounting practices. The IMR balance as of
December 31, 1998 is a liability balance of $452 and is reflected as an other
liability. The net capital (losses) gains transferred to the IMR in 1999, 1998
and 1997 were $(1,255), $852 and $(719), respectively. The amount of income
(expense) amortized from the IMR in 1999, 1998 and 1997 included in the
Company's Statements of Operations, was $178, $(207), and $(85), respectively.
Realized capital gains and losses, net of taxes, not included in the IMR are
reported in the statutory basis statements of operations. Realized investment
gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis.

CODIFICATION

The NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles in March
1998. The proposed effective date for this statutory accounting guidance is
January 1, 2001. It is expected that Connecticut, the Company's domiciliary
state, will adopt these accounting standards and, therefore, the Company will
make the necessary accounting and reporting changes required for implementation.
The Company has not yet determined the impact that these new accounting
standards will have on its statutory basis financial statements.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments: fair value of bonds, short-term
investments, common stock, and other invested assets approximate those
quotations published by the NAIC; policy loans and mortgage loans carrying
amounts approximates fair value; and fair value of liabilities on deposit funds
and other benefits is determined by forecasting future cash flows and
discounting the forecasted cash flows at current market rates.

4. REINSURANCE:

The Company cedes insurance to other insurers in order to limit its maximum
losses. Such transfer does not relieve the Company of its primary liability to
the policyholder. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result
in losses to the Company. The Company reduces this risk by evaluating the
financial condition of reinsurers and monitoring for possible concentrations of
credit risk.

The Company cedes significant portions of its variable annuity business written
since 1994 to RGA Reinsurance Company ("RGA"). Certain core annuity products
were excluded from this reinsurance arrangement beginning in the second quarter
of 1999 and, as such, the amounts ceded to RGA have declined significantly.

In 1995, The Hartford was "spun-off" from ITT Industries, Inc. and became its
own, autonomous entity. In conjunction with this spin-off, the assets and
liabilities of Lyndon Insurance Company (Lyndon) were merged into the Company.
The statutory net assets contributed to the Company as a result of this
transaction were approximately $112 million and were reflected as an increase in
Gross Paid-In and Contributed Surplus at December 31, 1995. This amount was
approximately $41 million lower than the value of net assets contributed on a
GAAP basis.

The majority of the business written in Lyndon was assumed from an unaffiliated
insurer. In 1998, this unaffiliated insurer recaptured the inforce blocks of
business it had been ceding to the Company through Lyndon. In conjunction with
this commutation transaction, the Company transferred statutory basis reserves
of $26,404. Additionally, the Company received fair value consideration for the
bonds it transferred which exceeded the statutory statement value of these
assets by $25,622. As a result of this activity, the Company recognized a
pre-tax gain from this transaction of $52,026 in its 1998 Statements of
Operations.

There were no material reinsurance recoverables from reinsurers outstanding as
of and for the years ended, December 31, 1999 and 1998.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Transactions between the Company and its affiliates, relate principally to tax
settlements, reinsurance, insurance coverages, rental and service fees, capital
contributions and payments of dividends. 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 benefit
plan expenses, are initially paid by The Hartford. Direct expenses are allocated
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.

The Company has also invested in bonds of its affiliates, Hartford Financial
Services Corporation and HL Investment Advisors, Inc., and common stock of its
subsidiary, Hartford Life, LTD.

For additional information, see Notes 4, 6, and 8.

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

The Company 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 HLI, the Company
will be included for Federal income tax purposes in the affiliated group of
which The Hartford is the common parent. The Hartford and its non-life
subsidiaries filed a single consolidated Federal income tax return for 1998 and
1997 and intend to file a separate consolidated Federal income tax return for
1999. The life insurance companies filed a separate consolidated Federal income
tax return for 1998 and 1997 and intend to file a separate consolidated Federal
income tax return for 1999. Federal income taxes (received) paid by the Company
for operations and capital gains (losses) were $(8,815), $25,780, and $(14,499)
in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The effective tax rate was (73)%, 27%, and
(28)% in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

</TABLE>

7. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS AND SHAREHOLDER DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS:

The maximum amount of dividends which can be paid to shareholders by Connecticut
domiciled insurance companies, without prior approval, is generally restricted
to the greater of 10% of surplus as of the preceding December 31st or the net
gain from operations for the previous year. Dividends are paid as determined by
the Board of Directors and are not cumulative. No dividends were paid in 1999,
1998 or 1997. The amount available for dividend in 2000 is approximately
$60,855.

8. PENSION, RETIREMENT, AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:

All employees that work for The Hartford's life insurance companies are included
in The Hartford's non-contributory 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 Hartford'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 group
pension contracts sold by affiliates. The costs that were allocated to the
Company for pension related expenses were $762, $1,045 and $840 for 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

Employees of The Hartford's life insurance companies are also provided, through
The Hartford, certain health care and life insurance benefits for eligible
retired employees. The contribution for health care benefits depends on the
retiree's date of retirement and years of service. In addition, this benefit
plan has a defined dollar cap, which limits average company contributions. The
Hartford 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 to the Company was not material to the results of operations
for 1999, 1998 or 1997.

The assumed rate in the per capita cost of health care (the health care trend
rate) was 7.1% for 1999, 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.

Substantially all of The Hartford's life insurance companies' employees 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 HLI or certain other investments, are matched to a limit of 3% of
compensation.

9. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS:

The Company maintains separate account assets totaling $44.9 billion and $32.9
billion as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Separate account assets
are segregated from other investments and reported at fair value. Separate
account liabilities are determined in accordance with prescribed actuarial
methodologies, which approximate the market value less applicable surrender
charges. The resulting surplus is recorded in the general account statement of
operations as a component of Net Transfers to Separate Accounts. The Company's
separate accounts are non-guaranteed, wherein the policyholder assumes
substantially all the investment risk and rewards. Investment income (including
investment gains and losses) and interest credited to policyholders on separate
account assets are not separately reflected in the statutory statements of
operations.

Separate account management fees, net of minimum guarantees, were $493 million,
$363 million, and $252 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and are
recorded as a component of fee income on the Company's statutory basis
Statements of Operations.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

  (a) LITIGATION

The Company is involved in pending and threatened litigation in the normal
course of its business in which claims for alleged economic and punitive damages
have been asserted. Some of these cases have been filed as purported class
actions and some cases have been filed in certain jurisdictions that permit
punitive damage awards disproportionate to the actual damages incurred. 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,
will have a material adverse effect on the statutory capital and surplus 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 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 $523, $1,043 and $1,544 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively, of
which $318, $995, and $548 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively were estimated
to be creditable against premium taxes.

  (c) TAX MATTERS

The Company's Federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"). The Company's 1997 and 1996 Federal income tax returns
are currently under audit by the IRS. As of March 31, 2000, the audit was in its
initial stage and no material issues had been raised.

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

          Filed herewith as Exhibit 1.7.

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 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.
