1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hartford Life
Insurance Company and subsidiaries ("Hartford Life Insurance Company" or the
"Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life and Accident Insurance
Company (its parent), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life, Inc., have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures which are normally
included in financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to those rules and regulations, 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. For a
description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in Hartford Life Insurance Company's 1999 Form
10-K Annual Report.

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

(b) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In October 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities - a Replacement of SFAS No. 125". SFAS No. 140 carries forward most
of SFAS No. 125's provisions without amendment. However, it revises criteria for
accounting for certain transfers of financial assets and the reporting and
disclosure requirements for collateral arrangements. SFAS No. 140's disclosure
requirements must be applied for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
The other provisions of SFAS No. 140 apply prospectively to transactions and
commitments occurring after March 31, 2001. Implementation of the accounting
provisions of SFAS No. 140 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on Issue
No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Certain
Investments". This pronouncement requires investors in certain asset-backed
securities to record changes in their estimated yield on a prospective basis and
to evaluate these securities for an other-than-temporary decline in value. This
consensus is effective for financial statements with fiscal quarters beginning
after December 15, 2000. While the Company is currently in the process of
quantifying the impact of EITF No. 99-20, the consensus provisions are not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.

In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", which amended SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133
established accounting and reporting requirements for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. SFAS No.
133 requires, among other things, that all derivatives be carried on the balance
sheet at fair value. SFAS No. 133 also specifies hedge accounting criteria under
which a derivative can qualify for special accounting. SFAS No. 138 amended SFAS
No. 133 so that for interest rate hedges, a company may designate as the hedged
risk, the risk of changes only in a benchmark interest rate. Also, credit risk
is newly defined as the company-specific spread over the benchmark interest rate
and may be hedged separately from, or in combination with, the benchmark
interest rate. Initial application of SFAS No. 133, as amended, for Hartford
Life Insurance Company will begin January 1, 2001. Implementation of SFAS No.
133, as amended, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations. However, the FASB's Derivative
Implementation Group continues to deliberate on multiple issues, the resolution
of which could have a significant impact on the Company's expectations.

Effective January 1, 2000, Hartford Life Insurance Company adopted Statement of
Position (SOP) No. 98-7, "Accounting for Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts
That Do Not Transfer Insurance Risk". This SOP provides guidance on the method
of accounting for insurance and reinsurance contracts that do not transfer
insurance risk, defined in the SOP as the deposit method. Adoption of this SOP
did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results
of operations.

2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

(a) LITIGATION

Hartford Life Insurance Company is involved in pending and threatened litigation
in the normal course of its business in which claims for alleged economic and
punitive damages have been asserted. Although there can be no assurances, at the
present time the Company does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising
from such pending or threatened litigation, after consideration of provisions
made for estimated losses and costs of defense, will have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition or operating results of the Company.

(b) TAX MATTERS

Hartford Life, Inc.'s federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the
Internal Revenue Service. Hartford Life, Inc.'s 1996-1997 federal income tax
returns are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service.

                                      F-5
<PAGE>
Management believes that sufficient provision has been made in the financial
statements for issues that may result from tax examinations and other tax
related matters for all open years.

During the second quarter of 2000, Hartford Life, Inc. reached a settlement with
the Internal Revenue Service with respect to certain tax matters for the
1993-1995 years. This settlement resulted in a $24 tax benefit being recorded in
Hartford Life Insurance Company's second quarter results of operations.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Hartford Life Insurance Company is organized into three reportable operating
segments which include Investment Products, Individual Life and Corporate Owned
Life Insurance (COLI). Investment Products offers individual fixed and variable
annuities, retirement plan services and other investment products. Individual
Life sells a variety of life insurance products, including variable life,
universal life, interest sensitive whole life and term life insurance. COLI
primarily offers variable products used by employers to fund non-qualified
benefits or other post-employment benefit obligations as well as leveraged COLI.
The Company includes in "Other" corporate items not directly allocable to any of
its reportable operating segments, as well as certain group benefit products
including group life and disability insurance that is directly written by the
Company and is substantially ceded to its parent.

The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Hartford Life Insurance Company's
1999 Form 10-K Annual Report. Hartford Life Insurance Company evaluates
performance of its segments based on revenues, net income and the segment's
return on allocated capital. The Company charges direct operating expenses to
the appropriate segment and allocates the majority of indirect expenses to the
segments based on an intercompany expense arrangement. Intersegment revenues are
not significant and primarily occur between corporate and the operating
segments. These amounts include interest income on allocated surplus and the
allocation of net realized capital gains and losses through net investment
income utilizing the duration of the segment's investment portfolios.

The following tables present summarized financial information concerning the
Company's segments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (MD&A) addresses the financial condition of Hartford Life Insurance
Company and subsidiaries ("Hartford Life Insurance Company" or the "Company") as
of September 30, 2000, compared with December 31, 1999, and its results of
operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared with the equivalent periods in 1999. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the MD&A included in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K Annual
Report.

Certain statements contained in this discussion, other than statements of
historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These statements are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and include estimates and assumptions related to economic,
competitive and legislative developments. These forward-looking statements are
subject to change and uncertainty which are, in many instances, beyond the
Company's control and have been made based upon management's expectations and
beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on the

                                      F-6

Company. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in
accordance with management's expectations or that the effect of future
developments on Hartford Life Insurance Company will be those anticipated by
management. Actual results could differ materially from those expected by the
Company, depending on the outcome of certain factors, including the possibility
of general economic, business and legislative conditions that are less favorable
than anticipated, changes in interest rates or the stock markets, stronger than
anticipated competitive activity and those described in the forward-looking
statements.

</TABLE>

Hartford Life Insurance Company has the following reportable segments:
Investment Products, Individual Life and Corporate Owned Life Insurance (COLI).
The Company reports in "Other" corporate items not directly allocable to any of
its segments, as well as certain group benefits business, including group life
and disability insurance that is directly written by the Company and is
substantially ceded to its parent, Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company
(HLA).

Revenues increased $73, or 9%, and $51, or 2%, for the third quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the equivalent
1999 periods. The increases in revenues were primarily attributable to growth in
the Investment Products segment which was, for the most part, due to higher fee
income related to the individual annuity operation which is directly
attributable to increased assets under management. Additionally, for the third
quarter the COLI segment's revenues increased primarily due to fees generated
from strong sales. Partially offsetting the growth in the nine month period was
a decline in the COLI segment's revenues primarily due to the declining block of
leveraged COLI business.
Expenses increased $44, or 6%, for the third quarter, while expenses for the
nine month period decreased $63, or 3%, as compared to the equivalent prior year
periods due to the factors described above.

Net income increased $29, or 29%, and $114, or 42%, for the third quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the
equivalent 1999 periods primarily driven by increases in net income across each
of the Company's reportable segments for the nine months. The Company also
reported a benefit related to the settlement of certain federal tax matters of
$24 for the second quarter of 2000 (see Note 2(b) of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements). This benefit, along with an $8 benefit related to state
income taxes in the first quarter of 2000, resulted in $32 of tax benefits for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Partially offsetting the increase for
the nine month period, the Company realized $29 of net realized capital losses,
primarily as a result of portfolio re-balancing. Excluding the tax items and the
net realized capital losses, net income increased $111, or 41%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000.

Revenues in the Investment Products segment increased $54, or 12%, and $145, or
10%, for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000,
respectively, as compared to the equivalent 1999 periods, primarily due to
higher fee income in the individual annuity operation. Fee income generated by
individual annuities increased $58, or 22%, and $149, or 19%, for the respective
third quarter and nine month periods, as related account values grew
$14.7 billion, or 19%, from September 30, 1999. This substantial growth was
mostly due to strong individual annuity sales (including $8.5 billion for the
first nine months of 2000) and equity market appreciation.

Due to the continued growth in this segment, particularly the individual annuity
operation, expenses increased $37, or 9%, or $111, or 9%, for the third quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the
equivalent 1999 periods. These increases were primarily driven by amortization
of deferred policy acquisition costs, which grew $24, or 23%, and $61, or 20%,
for the respective third quarter and nine month periods and other expenses which
increased $9, or 10%, and $43, or 17%, over the respective prior year levels.
The segment's operating expenses as a percentage of average assets under
management declined slightly for the third quarter and nine months ended versus
the respective prior year periods.
Net income increased $17, or 25%, and $34, or 15%, for the third quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the
equivalent 1999 periods, primarily due to the growth in revenues associated with
the increase in assets under management across the entire segment. Additionally,
the Investment Products segment continued to maintain its profit margins related
to its primary businesses thus contributing to the segment's earnings growth.

</TABLE>

The slight decrease in revenues and expenses in the Individual Life segment is
primarily due to HLA's December 1, 1999 recapture of an in force block of
individual life insurance previously ceded to the Company. (For a discussion of
the recapture, see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
Hartford Life Insurance Company's 1999 Form 10-K Annual Report.)

Excluding the recapture described above, revenues in the Individual Life segment
increased $16, or 13%, and $53, or 15%, for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the equivalent 1999
periods. This increase in revenues is attributable to higher fee income
associated with the growing block of variable life insurance. Fee income
increased $13, or 15%, and $53, or 22%, for the respective third quarter and
nine month periods, as variable life account values increased $918, or 44%, and
variable life insurance in force increased $9.7 billion, or 46%, from
September 30, 1999.

Excluding the recapture described above, expenses increased $14, or 13%, and
$47, or 15%, for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000,
respectively, as compared to the equivalent 1999 periods. The increases in
expenses were primarily due to a $4, or 9%, and $12, or 8%, increase in
benefits, claims and claim adjustment expenses for the respective third quarter
and nine month periods and other expenses which increased $7, or 40%, and $16,
or 29%, over the respective prior year levels. These increases were associated
with the growth in this segment as indicated above. Additionally, for the nine
month period, amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs increased $15,
or 19%, primarily associated with the growth in this segment's variable
business. Excluding the recapture described above, net income increased $2, or
12%, and $6, or 13%, for the respective periods, primarily due to the higher fee
income as year-to-date mortality was essentially in line with prior year.

</TABLE>

COLI revenues increased $18, or 8%, for the third quarter ended September 30,
2000, from the respective prior year period, while for the nine month period,
revenues decreased $87, or 13%. The revenue increase in the third quarter was
primarily due to an increase in fee income of $22, or 19%, associated with
strong sales of $2.5 billion in the third quarter 2000.

For the nine month period, revenues decreased primarily due to a decline in net
investment income of $59, or 18%. This decline was primarily due to the
leveraged COLI block of business, as related account values decreased $786, or
14%, as a result of the downsizing caused by the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996.

Expenses increased $16, or 8%, for the third quarter, while expenses for the
nine month period decreased $92, or 14%, respectively, as compared to the
equivalent prior year periods due to the factors described above.

Net income increased $2, or 29%, and $5, or 25%, for the third quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the equivalent
prior year periods. The increase was primarily attributable to the variable COLI
business where account values increased $3.5 billion, or 29%, as well as
increased earnings associated with a block of leveraged COLI business recaptured
in 1998. (For a discussion of the MBL Recapture, see the Capital Resources and
Liquidity section in Hartford Life Insurance Company's 1999 Form 10-K Annual
Report.)

REGULATORY MATTERS AND CONTINGENCIES

NAIC PROPOSALS

The NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (SAP) in
March 1998. The effective date for the statutory accounting guidance is
January 1, 2001. Hartford Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries'
domiciliary state has adopted the SAP and the Company will make the necessary
changes required for implementation. The Company has not yet determined the
impact that the SAP will have on the statutory financial statements of Hartford
Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries.

DEPENDENCE ON CERTAIN THIRD PARTY RELATIONSHIPS

Hartford Life Insurance Company distributes its annuity and life insurance
products through a variety of distribution channels, including broker-dealers,
banks, wholesalers, its own internal sales force and other third party marketing
organizations. The Company periodically negotiates provisions and renewals of
these relationships and there can be no assurance that such terms will remain
acceptable to the Company or such service providers. An interruption in the
Company's continuing relationship with certain of these third parties could
materially affect the Company's ability to market its products.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

For a discussion of accounting standards, see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
