THE TRAVELERS VARIABLE PRODUCT SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
INVESTMENT ADVISORY COMMENTARY AS OF JUNE 30, 2000

MARKET AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

Stocks declined in the second quarter of 2000, leaving many of the major indexes
down for the first half of the year as investors debated potential rate
increases by the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed"). Volatility continued to be a
major theme with both the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA") (1) and the
Nasdaq Composite Index ("NASDAQ")(2) registering record one-day point losses.
The breadth of the declines affected a wide range of stocks including many
small- and large- capitalization company stocks, growth stocks and value stocks.
(Growth stocks are shares of companies with historically strong and relatively
predictable earnings growth rates. Value stocks are shares of companies that are
believed to be undervalued but have good longer-term business prospects.)
Momentum investing and dot.com stocks were out of favor, replaced in many cases
by a renewed interest in companies that many investors believed may provide real
earnings and had strong financials.

Concerns about higher interest rates peaked in mid-May, when the Fed raised
interest rates an additional 50 basis points (3). The specter of rising rates
was a catalyst for the weak performance of all of the major indexes during the
period. The DJIA, which is made up of Old Economy companies, declined 8.44%
during the reporting period. (The Old Economy represents more established,
"blue-chip" companies.) The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500 Index") (4) of
large-company stocks fell 0.43%, the Standard and Poor's MidCap 400 Index (5)
("S&P MidCap 400 Index") of medium-size company stocks and the Russell 2000
Index (6) of small-company stocks advanced 8.97% and 3.04%, respectively, for
the six months ended June 30, 2000.

For the sixth consecutive time in the last year, the Fed acted to raise interest
rates in May to slow the U.S. economy, increasing the federal funds rate by 50
basis points to 6.5%. (The federal funds rate is the interest rate that banks
with excess reserves at a Fed district bank charge other banks that need
overnight loans. The fed funds rate, as it is called, often points to the
direction of U.S. interest rates.) The increase of the target overnight interest
rate marked its highest level in nine years and reflected Fed actions intended
to address risks of an economy with higher inflationary pressures.

The Fed continued to stress its concern that there is a disparity in the growth
of demand and potential supply, which may foster inflation and jeopardize the
economy's performance. In theory, higher rates may potentially hurt stocks,
because slower growth often hinders profits at the same time that alternative
investments become more attractive. Accordingly, many interest-rate sensitive
stocks experienced price declines after the recent decision.

In June, many investors were relieved after the Fed left interest rates
unchanged during its latest policy meeting. Although the central bank noted that
inflation risks persist, the decision was made against more interest rate
increases was ruled out for the time being. Generally, monetary policy takes
time to filter through the economy and the full effect of higher interest rates
may not be felt for months.

(1) DJIA is a price-weighted average of 30 actively traded blue-chip stocks. An
investor cannot invest in an index.
(2) The NASDAQ is a market value-weighted index that measures all domestic and
non-U.S. based securities listed on the NASDAQ stock market. An investor cannot
invest directly in an index.
(3) A basis point is 0.01% or one one-hundredth of a percent.
(4) The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization measure of 500 widely held
common stocks. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.
(5) S&P 400 Midcap Index is a market-value weighted index, consisting of 400
domestic stocks chosen for market size liquidating and industry group
representation.
(6) Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies
in the Russell 3000 Index

                                  STOCK ACCOUNT
                             FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES

The Travelers Growth and Income Stock Account for Variable Annuities ("Account
GIS") is managed by the Travelers Asset Management International Company, LLC
("TAMIC") with the Travelers Investment Management Company ("TIMCO") serving as
subadvisor. Account GIS is managed to provide diversified exposure to the
large-company segment of the U.S. equity market. Stock selection is based on a
quantitative screening process favoring companies that are able to grow earnings
above consensus expectations and offer attractive relative value. In order to
achieve consistent relative performance, we manage Account GIS to mirror the
overall risk, sector weightings and growth/value style characteristics of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P 500"). The S&P 500 is a value-weighted
equity index comprised primarily of large-company stocks.

For the six months ending June 30, 2000, Account GIS achieved a total return of
-0.3%, before fees and expenses, in line with the S&P 500 return of -0.4%. Net
of fees and expenses, Account GIS's total return of -1.2% for the first half of
2000 was comparable to the -1.0% median return for variable annuity stock
accounts in the Lipper Growth & Income category. On a trailing twelve month
basis as of June 30, 2000, Account GIS had a total return of 8.2%, net of fees
and expenses, well ahead of the Lipper Growth & Income median of 0.6%. A
discussion of portfolio performance in each of the first two quarters of 2000 is
presented next.

During the first quarter of 2000, stock selection was most favorable in the
Financial Services, Producer Durables and Utilities sectors and slightly adverse
in the Technology and Health care sectors.

In the Financial Services sector, falling long-term rates helped bank and
brokerage stocks. Our overweight positions in Merrill Lynch & Co., Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter & Co., Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. and Chase Manhattan
Corp., which serve to offset the underweight restriction in Citigroup, all
performed quite well. Avoiding Associated First Capital which experienced
disappointing operating performance in its loan origination business and AON
Corp. which failed to meet consensus expectations for fourth quarter earnings
also helped us.

In the Producer Durables sector, Tyco International Ltd. continued to rebound
from the controversy surrounding its accounting practices in the treatment of
mergers and acquisitions. By the end of the first quarter, Tyco International
Ltd. had recovered most of the nearly -50% loss from the previous high
established in September 1999. PerkinElmer, Inc. was also a strong performer
with positive earnings and revenue momentum generated from its line of
telecommunications products.

In the Utilities sector, our emphasis on telecommunications companies such as
Nextel Communications, Inc. and Sprint Corp.-PCS Group continues to payoff.
Nextel Communications, Inc. launched its worldwide cell phone service with
several new joint ventures in the first quarter and Sprint Corp.-PCS Group
continued to increase its penetration in the digital wireless market.

In the Technology sector, we were hurt by our picks in the software industry.
BMC Software Inc. notified investors on January 5 that it was going to
significantly miss the consensus earnings forecast of 53 cents/share due to an
unexpected slowdown in North American sales. Other mainframe software stocks
such as Compuware Corp. sold off in sympathy. Our performance was hurt by small
overweight positions in both stocks.

In the Healthcare sector, we lost ground from being underweight in better
performing stocks such as Pfizer, Inc. and Guidant. Performance was also
hindered by Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp., the hospital giant, which reported
earnings in line with expectations but fell sharply as it failed to match the
above-average operating results of other major hospital companies.

At the beginning of the second quarter, market volatility spiked up
significantly. Value stocks dominated early in the quarter and growth stocks
staged a strong recovery towards the end of the quarter. Stock selection hurt
relative performance in the Consumer Discretionary and Utilities sectors, was
favorable in the Producer Durables sector and remained mixed in the other
sectors.



                                      -4-

Higher interest rates and gasoline prices began to take their toll on retail
stocks in the Consumer Discretionary sector. Our overweight position in Circuit
City Stores, Inc. performed poorly as the company indicated that a slowdown in
major appliance sales and a shift in the overall merchandise sales mix would
result in lower profit margins. Other retail stocks which did not fare well in
the second quarter included Lowe's Cos., Inc., Sears, Roebuck & Co. and Target
Corp. Stores.

In the Producer Durables sector, PerkinElmer, Inc. continued its strong
performance with positive earnings and revenue momentum generated from its line
of telecommunications products. The big story in this sector, however, was
Corning, Inc. which took the unusual step of guiding earnings estimates for the
current fiscal year higher as it encounters unprecedented demand for its high
tech products such as high-speed optical fiber and cable and LCD flat-panel
display glass. Corning, Inc. rose by nearly 40% in the second quarter as its new
focus on technology applications propels it into a higher earnings growth orbit.

In the Utilities sector, our emphasis on telecommunications companies such as
Nextel Communications, Inc., Sprint Corp.-PCS Group and CenturyTel, Inc. did not
pay off for the first time in several quarters. The Nasdaq sell-off in April and
May had a negative effect on these higher-growth, higher price-to-earnings
stocks and contributed adversely to performance.

The near term outlook for the stock market relies heavily on monetary policy.
The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") has indicated a hawkish bias in its promise to
monitor inflationary developments closely. Economic data reported between now
and the next Fed meeting in August will determine if we experience another rise
in short term rates.

In our disciplined approach to stock selection, we screen our research universe
of over 1,000 large cap securities for companies that offer improving earnings
fundamentals at discounted stock valuations. A small sample of our current
holdings is presented here to illustrate our investment approach. In the
technology sector, we are emphasizing Oracle Corp. in the software industry and
Micron Technologies, Inc. in the semiconductor industry as they offer strong
earnings growth at reasonable valuations. As discussed above, Corning, Inc.
represents our biggest active position in the diversified manufacturing group.
Merck & Co, Inc. and Pfizer Inc. are our core plays in the health care sector.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Travelers Growth and Income Stock Account for Variable Annuities
     ("Account GIS") is a separate account of The Travelers Insurance Company
     ("The Travelers"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.,
     and is available for funding certain variable annuity contracts issued by
     The Travelers. Account GIS is registered under the Investment Company Act
     of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment
     company.

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

     SECURITY VALUATION. Investments in securities traded on a national
     securities exchange are valued at the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time price
     of the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the period;
     securities traded on the over-the-counter market and listed securities with
     no reported sales are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and
     asked prices or on the basis of quotations received from a reputable broker
     or other recognized source.

     Short-term investments for which a quoted market price is available are
     valued at market. Short-term investments for which there is no reliable
     quoted market price are valued at amortized cost which approximates market.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade
     date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income
     is recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts are amortized to
     interest income utilizing the constant yield method.

     FUTURES CONTRACTS. Account GIS may use stock index futures contracts as a
     substitute for the purchase or sale of individual securities. When Account
     GIS enters into a futures contract, it agrees to buy or sell a specified
     index of stocks at a future time for a fixed price, unless the contract is
     closed prior to expiration. Account GIS is obligated to deposit with a
     broker an "initial margin" equivalent to a percentage of the face, or
     notional value of the contract.

     It is Account GIS's practice to hold cash and cash equivalents in an amount
     at least equal to the notional value of outstanding purchased futures
     contracts, less the initial margin. Cash and cash equivalents include cash
     on hand, securities segregated under federal and brokerage regulations, and
     short-term highly liquid investments with maturities generally three months
     or less when purchased. Generally, futures contracts are closed prior to
     expiration.

     Futures contracts purchased by Account GIS are priced and settled daily;
     accordingly, changes in daily prices are recorded as realized gains or
     losses and no asset is recorded in the Statement of Investments. However,
     when Account GIS holds open futures contracts, it assumes a market risk
     generally equivalent to the underlying market risk of change in the value
     of the specified indexes associated with the futures contract.

     OPTIONS. Account GIS may purchase index or individual equity put or call
     options, thereby obtaining the right to sell or buy a fixed number of
     shares of the underlying asset at the stated price on or before the stated
     expiration date. Account GIS may sell the options before expiration.
     Options held by Account GIS are listed on either national securities
     exchanges or on over-the-counter markets and are short-term contracts with
     a duration of less than nine months. The market value of the options will
     be based on the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time price of the New York Stock
     Exchange, or in the absence of such price, the latest bid quotation.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. When Account GIS enters into a repurchase agreement
     (a purchase of securities whereby the seller agrees to repurchase the
     securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price), the repurchase price
     of the securities will generally equal the amount paid by Account GIS plus
     a negotiated interest amount. The seller under the repurchase agreement
     will be required to provide to Account GIS securities (collateral) whose
     market value, including accrued interest, will be at least equal to 102% of
     the repurchase price. Account GIS monitors the value of collateral on a
     daily basis. Repurchase agreements will be limited to transactions with
     national banks and reporting broker dealers believed to present minimal
     credit risks. Account GIS's custodian will take actual or constructive
     receipt of all securities underlying repurchase agreements until such
     agreements expire.

              NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED

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

     OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

2.   INVESTMENTS

     The aggregate costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments
     (other than short-term securities), were $260,774,172 and $262,257,379,
     respectively; proceeds from sales of direct and indirect U.S. government
     securities were $1,220,475, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. There
     were no cost of purchases from direct and indirect U.S. government
     securities for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Realized gains and
     losses from investment security transactions are reported on an identified
     cost basis.

     Account GIS placed a portion of its security transactions with brokerage
     firms which are affiliates of The Travelers. The commissions paid to these
     affiliated firms were $58,687 and $58,130 for the six months ended June 30,
     2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively.

     At June 30, 2000, Account GIS held 22 open S&P 500 Stock Index futures
     contracts expiring in September, 2000. The underlying face value, or
     notional value, of these contracts at June 30, 2000 amounted to $8,074,550.
     In connection with these contracts, short-term investments with a par value
     of $460,000 had been pledged as margin deposits.

     Net realized gains (losses) resulting from futures contracts were
     ($1,107,891) and $3,444,687 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and the
     year ended December 31, 1999, respectively. These losses are included in
     the net realized gain from investment security transactions on both the
     Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The
     cash settlement for June 30, 2000 is shown on the Statement of Assets and
     Liabilities as a receivable for variation on futures margin.

3.   CONTRACT CHARGES

     Investment management and advisory fees are calculated daily at annual
     rates which start at 0.65% and decrease, as net assets increase, to 0.40%
     of Account GIS's average net assets. These fees are paid to Travelers Asset
     Management International Company, LLC ("TAMIC"), an indirect wholly owned
     subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. Pursuant to a subadvisory agreement between
     TAMIC and The Travelers Investment Management Company ("TIMCO"), an
     indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc., TAMIC pays TIMCO a
     subadvisory fee calculated daily at annual rates which start at 0.45% and
     decrease, as net assets increase, to 0.20% of Account GIS's average net
     assets.

     Insurance charges are paid for the mortality and expense risks assumed by
     The Travelers. Each business day, The Travelers deducts a mortality and
     expense risk charge which is reflected in the calculation of accumulation
     and annuity unit values. This charge equals, on an annual basis, 1.0017%
     for contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983 and 1.25% on an annual basis for
     contracts issued on or after May 16, 1983. Additionally, for certain
     contracts in the accumulation phase, a semi-annual charge of $15 (prorated
     for partial years) is deducted from participant account balances and paid
     to The Travelers to cover administrative charges.

     On contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983, The Travelers retained from
     Account GIS sales charges of $12,359 and $25,099 for the six months ended
     June 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively. The
     Travelers generally assesses a 5% contingent deferred sales charge if a
     participant's purchase payment is surrendered within five years of its
     payment date. Contract surrender payments include $298,388 and $296,975 of
     contingent deferred sales charges for the six months ended June 30, 2000
     and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively.

4.   NET ASSETS HELD ON BEHALF OF AN AFFILIATE

     Approximately $21,343,000 and $22,919,000 of the net assets of Account GIS
     were held on behalf of an affiliate of The Travelers as of June 30, 2000
     and December 31, 1999, respectively. Transactions with this affiliate
     during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31,
     1999, were comprised of participant purchase payments of approximately
     $91,000 and $761,000 and contract surrenders of approximately $1,401,000
     and $2,546,000, respectively.

NOTES

(A)   Non-income Producing Security.

(B)   Par value of $460,000 pledged to cover margin deposits on futures
      contracts.

(C)   As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, it is
      Account GIS's practice to hold cash and cash equivalents (including
      short-term investments) at least equal to the underlying face value, or
      notional value, of outstanding purchased futures contracts, less the
      initial margin. Account GIS uses futures contracts as a substitute for
      holding individual securities.

 (D)  At June 30, 2000, net unrealized appreciation for all securities was
      $276,467,422. This consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation
      for all securities in which there was an excess of market value over cost
      of $314,737,857 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all
      securities in which there was an excess of cost over market value of
      $38,270,435.

                                  THE TRAVELERS
                              QUALITY BOND ACCOUNT
                             FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES

The Travelers Quality Bond Account for Variable Annuities ("Account QB") had a
gross return of 0.69% for the second quarter; versus 1.69% for the Lehman
Intermediate Government/Corporate Index (The Lehman Government/Corporate Bond
Index is a combination of publicly issued intermediate and long-term U.S.
government bonds and corporate bonds). Account QB underperformed it's benchmark
by 100 basis points. For the six months ended, Account QB has returned 2.48%,
and the benchmark 3.22%, resulting in respective underperformance of 74 basis
points. The fund was hurt by exposure to financial (FINOVA Capital Corp.) and
retail (Saks, Inc.) companies that had some earnings surprises this past
quarter.

Treasury yields in the 1-10 year range fell in the second quarter and the
inversion became slightly less extreme, with two-year yields ending at 6.36%
(down 13 basis points) and thirty-year yields at 5.90% (up 6 basis points). The
10-year treasury yield was essentially flat at 6.02%. A slide in yields that had
begun in January bottomed in early April, as the market became concerned about
the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") actions, continued corporate and consumer
borrowing demand and earnings stability. The ten-year yield rose from under
5.80% at that point to over 6.50%, where it hovered for most of May until it
appeared that the Fed's latest, 50-point, hike was sufficient in braking on the
economy. The 10-year yield then fell back to just north of 6.00%.

Corporate yields rose more than treasuries due to credit concerns resulting from
higher rates. Thirty-year A-quality spreads widened from 200 to 250 in May
before retracing most of the widening. On signs of a cool economy,
investment-grade spreads tightened uniformly for the first time this year in
June, but remain near historic peaks. Yields on 10-year Baa bonds closed at
around 8.20%.

After three quarters of economic growth over 5%, it appears that the second
quarter will see a number south of 4%. While the second quarter has shown
cyclical weakness in recent years, there are good reasons to believe that the
Fed's tightening stance has caused a true braking of a speeding economy. The
Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators fell in May. Among signs
of slower growth released this past month were decreased auto sales, a lower
consumer confidence figure, concern over bank loan portfolio quality, and
corporate earnings concern not just in high-tech areas but in retail markets
like clothing and electronics. For these reasons, the finance and retail sectors
were especially hit with concentrated concern in the quarter. Yankee and utility
bonds lead the corporate issues this quarter and for the year. Due to some
credit concerns and spread widenings that have been proportional to risk, AAA
quality bonds have outperformed lower-quality counterparts this quarter and
year-to-date.

Issuance in the investment-grade corporate bond market remains significantly
lower than that of 1999, due partly to both pre-Y2K funding and higher borrowing
costs. The combination of a tight monetary policy and high debt ratios among
both corporations and consumers could exacerbate an otherwise small slowdown in
economic activity. We are not overly concerned about a hard landing at this time
and believe that the next two months leading up to the August FOMC meeting will
shed important light on the lagging effects of the six rate hikes made in the
last year.

We believe that the recent snap-back in corporate spreads will continue in the
second half of the year, thereby neutralizing most of the overreaction we've
seen to some sub-sectors of corporate issues.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Travelers Quality Bond Account for Variable Annuities ("Account QB") is
     a separate account of The Travelers Insurance Company ("The Travelers"), an
     indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc., and is available for
     funding certain variable annuity contracts issued by The Travelers. Account
     QB is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
     diversified, open-end management investment company.

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

     SECURITY VALUATION. Investments in securities traded on a national
     securities exchange are valued at the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time price
     of the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the period;
     securities traded on the over-the-counter market and listed securities with
     no reported sales are valued at the mean between the last-reported bid and
     asked prices or on the basis of quotations received from a reputable broker
     or other recognized source.

     When market quotations are not considered to be readily available for
     long-term corporate bonds and notes, such investments are generally stated
     at fair value on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service.
     These valuations are determined for normal institutional-size trading units
     of such securities using methods based on market transactions for
     comparable securities and various relationships between securities which
     are generally recognized by institutional traders. Securities, including
     restricted securities, for which pricing services are not readily
     available, are valued by management at prices which it deems in good faith
     to be fair.

     Short-term investments for which a quoted market price is available are
     valued at market. Short-term investments for which there is no reliable
     quoted market price are valued at amortized cost which approximates market.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade
     date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and
     discounts are amortized to interest income utilizing the constant yield
     method.

     FUTURES CONTRACTS. Account QB may use interest rate futures contracts as a
     substitute for the purchase or sale of individual securities. When Account
     QB enters into a futures contract, it agrees to buy or sell specified debt
     securities at a future time for a fixed price, unless the contract is
     closed prior to expiration. Account QB is obligated to deposit with a
     broker an "initial margin" equivalent to a percentage of the face, or
     notional value of the contract.

     It is Account QB's practice to hold cash and cash equivalents in an amount
     at least equal to the notional value of outstanding purchased futures
     contracts, less the initial margin. Cash and cash equivalents include cash
     on hand, securities segregated under federal and brokerage regulations, and
     short-term highly liquid investments with maturities generally three months
     or less when purchased. Generally, futures contracts are closed prior to
     expiration.

     Futures contracts purchased by Account QB are priced and settled daily;
     accordingly, changes in daily prices are recorded as realized gains or
     losses and no asset is recorded in the Statement of Investments. However,
     when Account QB holds open futures contracts, it assumes a market risk
     generally equivalent to the underlying market risk of change in the value
     of the debt securities associated with the futures contract.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. When Account QB enters into a repurchase agreement
     (a purchase of securities whereby the seller agrees to repurchase the
     securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price), the repurchase price
     of the securities will generally equal the amount paid by Account QB plus a
     negotiated interest amount. The seller under the repurchase agreement will
     be required to provide to Account QB securities (collateral) whose market
     value, including accrued interest, will be at least equal to 102% of the
     repurchase price. Account QB monitors the value of collateral on a daily
     basis. Repurchase agreements will be limited to transactions with national
     banks and reporting broker dealers believed to present minimal credit
     risks. Account QB's custodian will take actual or constructive receipt of
     all securities underlying repurchase agreements until such agreements
     expire.

              NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)- CONTINUED

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

     OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

2.   INVESTMENTS

     The aggregate costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments
     (other than short-term securities) were $31,941,095 and $37,905,255,
     respectively; the costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of direct and
     indirect U.S. government securities were $16,932,311 and $35,170,116,
     respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Realized gains and
     losses from investment security transactions are reported on an identified
     cost basis.

3.   CONTRACT CHARGES

     Investment management and advisory fees are calculated daily at an annual
     rate of 0.3233% of Account QB's average net assets. These fees are paid to
     Travelers Asset Management International Company, LLC, an indirect wholly
     owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.

     Insurance charges are paid for the mortality and expense risks assumed by
     The Travelers. Each business day, The Travelers deducts a mortality and
     expense risk charge which is reflected in the calculation of accumulation
     and annuity unit values. This charge equals, on an annual basis, 1.0017%
     for contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983 and 1.25% on an annual basis for
     contracts issued on or after May 16, 1983. Additionally, for certain
     contracts in the accumulation phase, a semi-annual charge of $15 (prorated
     for partial years) is deducted from participant account balances and paid
     to The Travelers to cover administrative charges.

     On contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983, The Travelers retained from
     Account QB sales charges of $3,110 and $7,024 for the six months ended June
     30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively. The Travelers
     generally assesses a 5% contingent deferred sales charge if a participant's
     purchase payment is surrendered within five years of its payment date.
     Contract surrender payments include $85,184 of contingent deferred sales
     charges for the year ended December 31, 1999. There were no contingent
     deferred sales charges for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

4.   NET ASSETS HELD ON BEHALF OF AN AFFILIATE

     Approximately $301,000 and $310,000 of the net assets of Account QB were
     held on behalf of an affiliate of The Travelers as of June 30, 2000 and
     December 31, 1999, respectively. Transactions with this affiliate during
     the six months ended June 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999,
     were comprised of participant purchase payments of approximately $14,000
     and $105,000 and contract surrenders of approximately $28,000 and $249,000,
     respectively.

                                  THE TRAVELERS
                              MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT
                             FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES

During the six months ended the economy showed its first signs of a possible
slowdown in the second quarter, as the June employment report implied the
economy may have lost some of its forward momentum. The unemployment rate
remains at 4.0%, and it is estimated that real Gross Domestic Product growth for
the second quarter will be 3.6%, down from 5.5% in the first quarter. Although
temporary factors may be behind recent economic data pointing to a slowing
economy, evidence for a more fundamental deceleration has gained credibility
recently based on a fading of the wealth effect, temporarily depressing real
incomes, and the tightening of credit availability.

The six months ended with the 30-year Treasury Bond yield at 5.90% and the
federal funds rate at 6.50%. The 30-year Treasury Bond yield was up 7 basis
points from the March 31 level of 5.83% and down 58 basis points from year-end.
The May 16th meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") resulted in
an increase of the federal funds rate by 50 basis points, while leaving the rate
unchanged in the June 28 meeting. The federal funds rate is up 100 basis points
from the beginning of the year. Currently, the FOMC is maintaining an inflation
bias. If economic strength persists, the Federal Reserve Board once again may
have to tighten interest rates.

The strategy in management of The Travelers Money Market Account for Variable
Annuities short-term assets will be to maintain the current average life for
maturities at 45 days. At June 30, 2000 the asset size of the portfolio was
$155.1 million, with an average yield of 6.64%.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Travelers Money Market Account for Variable Annuities ("Account MM") is
     a separate account of The Travelers Insurance Company ("The Travelers"), an
     indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc., and is available for
     funding certain variable annuity contracts issued by The Travelers. Account
     MM is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
     diversified, open-end management investment company.

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

     SECURITY VALUATION. Short-term investments for which a quoted market price
     is available are valued at market. Short-term investments for which there
     is no reliable quoted market price are valued at amortized cost which
     approximates market.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade
     date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and
     discounts are amortized to interest income utilizing the constant yield
     method.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. When Account MM enters into a repurchase agreement
     (a purchase of securities whereby the seller agrees to repurchase the
     securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price), the repurchase price
     of the securities will generally equal the amount paid by Account MM plus a
     negotiated interest amount. The seller under the repurchase agreement will
     be required to provide to Account MM securities (collateral) whose market
     value, including accrued interest, will be at least equal to 102% of the
     repurchase price. Account MM monitors the value of collateral on a daily
     basis. Repurchase agreements will be limited to transactions with national
     banks and reporting broker dealers believed to present minimal credit
     risks. Account MM's custodian will take actual or constructive receipt of
     all securities underlying repurchase agreements until such agreements
     expire.

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

     OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

2.   CONTRACT CHARGES

     Investment management and advisory fees are calculated daily at an annual
     rate of 0.3233% of Account MM's average net assets. These fees are paid to
     Travelers Asset Management International Company, LLC, an indirect wholly
     owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.

     Insurance charges are paid for the mortality and expense risks assumed by
     The Travelers. Each business day, The Travelers deducts a mortality and
     expense risk charge which is reflected in the calculation of accumulation
     and annuity unit values. This charge equals, on an annual basis, 1.0017%
     for contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983 and 1.25% on an annual basis for
     contracts issued on or after May 16, 1983. Additionally, for certain
     contracts in the accumulation phase, a semi-annual charge of $15 (prorated
     for partial years) is deducted from participant account balances and paid
     to The Travelers to cover administrative charges.

     The Travelers assesses a 5% contingent deferred sales charge if a
     participant's purchase payment is surrendered within five years of its
     payment date. Contract surrender payments include $141,476 and $191,288 of
     contingent deferred sales charges for the six months ended June 30, 2000
     and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively.

3.   NET ASSETS HELD ON BEHALF OF AN AFFILIATE

     Approximately $3,381,000 and $3,431,000 of the net assets of Account MM
     were held on behalf of an affiliate of The Travelers as of June 30, 2000
     and December 31, 1999, respectively. Transactions with this affiliate
     during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31,
     1999, were comprised of participant purchase payments of approximately
     $448,000 and $2,249,000 and contract surrenders of approximately $575,000
     and $2,377,000, respectively.
