The Company's financial statements are audited by Arthur Andersen LLP,

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholder and Board of Directors of HL Funding Company, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of HL Funding Company, Inc. as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of income (loss),
stockholder's equity and cash flows for the year then ended and for the period
from inception, February 8, 1993, to December 31, 1993. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 HL Funding Company, Inc. as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended and for the period from inception, February 8,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
HL Funding Company, Inc. (HLFC) is a corporation formed in the state of
Connecticut on February 8, 1993. HLFC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford
Life Insurance Company (HLIC). All of the outstanding shares of HLIC are
ultimately owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company (Hartford Fire), which is
owned by ITT Hartford Group, Inc., a subsidiary of ITT Corporation (ITT). On
March 26, 1993 HLFC issued 100 shares ($1 par) of stock to HLIC for $1,000 per
share. On May 28, 1993, and September 30, 1994, additional capital
contributions of $99,900 and $650,000, respectively, were made by HLIC.
HLFC offers and administers programs whereby participants obtain life insurance
coverage from HLIC and Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company. Under the
programs, insurance premiums are paid on behalf of participants through a series
of loans from HLFC. Loans to participants are secured by participants'
ownership in shares of regulated investment companies. Premium loans receivable
are funded with proceeds from a loan arrangement with HLIC. Programs can be up
to ten years in length. Upon program conclusion, loan balances and accrued
interest become due.
The administrative costs of issuing and maintaining the programs are expected to
be offset by: a) fees charged to program participants; b) interest charged to
participants for insurance premium loans to the extent that the interest charged
exceeds the cost to HLFC of obtaining funds to finance the programs; and c)
interest income earned on investments held by HLFC. Through December 31, 1994,
three programs were sold.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
REVENUES AND EXPENSES -
Interest and fees from investments and premium loans receivable are recognized
as revenue when earned. Expenses, which are primarily allocated from
affiliates, are recognized when incurred.
ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS -
Organizational costs include software development and are amortized over a three
year period.
INVESTMENT IN HARTFORD LIQUID ASSET TRUST -
Investment in Hartford Liquid Asset Trust is considered a cash equivalent.
NOTE 3 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
HLIC provides administrative services to HLFC, including use of its facilities
and personnel, and allocates a portion of its expense to HLFC.
F-7
HLFC invested the capital contributions in the Hartford Liquid Asset Trust.
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the purpose of the Trust is to
invest funds in a less costly manner in assets which achieve a high level of
current income as well as maintain liquidity and preserve capital. The Trust
investments are restricted to cash and investments having a stated maturity
date of 12 months or less from the date of purchase. Interest earned by the
Trust is allocated to each participant based on their pro-rata share of
principle contributions.
HLFC's funds for financing the programs are currently obtained through a
promissory note agreement with HLIC. The agreement allows HLIC to advance to
HLFC funds in an amount of up to $7,000,000. The interest rate for the note is
equal to the 90 day LIBOR plus 125 basis points. The rate was 6.75% at
December 31, 1994.
NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Premium loans receivable and intercompany loan payable amounts reflected in the
balance sheet approximate fair value.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
HLFC is included in ITT's consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return and remits
to (receives from) ITT a current income tax provision (benefit) computed in
accordance with the tax sharing arrangements between ITT and its subsidiaries.
The effective tax rate in 1994 and 1993 approximated the U.S. Statutory tax rate
of 35%. The provision (benefit) for income taxes was as follows:
1994 1993
---------- ----------
Current $(115,288) $162
Deferred (16,002) -
---------- ----------
$(131,290) $162
---------- ----------
---------- ----------
The deferred tax asset at December 31, 1994, was due to expenses capitalized for
tax purposes until the start of business of HLFC. Income taxes paid were $162
and $0 in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
