HL FUNDING COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
Note 1 - Organization

HL Funding Company, Inc. (HLFC or the Company) was formed in the State of
Connecticut on February 8, 1993 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Life
Insurance Company (HLIC). On July 15, 1996, a reorganization took place and
the outstanding stock of HLFC was contributed to Hartford Financial Services
Corporation (HFSC) by HLIC. HFSC is a wholly owned subsidiary of 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.
(The Hartford). (Prior to December 19, 1995, The Hartford was a wholly owned
subsidiary of ITT Corporation. On December 19, 1995, ITT Corporation
distributed all of the outstanding shares of The Hartford to ITT Corporation
shareholders).

HLFC administers programs whereby participants have obtained life insurance
coverage from HLIC and Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company, an
affiliate of HLIC. 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

In January, 1997, management of the Company initiated an informal plan to
terminate the Company's program. The participants were notified of
management's intent to terminate the program and were given the following
options; (1) selling enough shares of registered investment companies to pay
back the premium loan, (2) use of life insurance policy cash value (or some
portion of it) to pay back the premium loan, (3) some combination of (1) and
(2) and (4) use of other personal assets to pay back the premium loan.
Pursuant to the Company's plan to terminate the program, the Company
discontinued offering new contracts effective January 1, 1997. At December
31, 1996 there were seventeen active programs. Eleven programs were
terminated between January and June 30, 1997.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to
conform to current year presentation.

Revenues and Expenses
In accordance with managements' plan to terminate the program, no participant
related revenues or expenses were recognized or recorded during the period from
January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997 (the period). Additionally, operating
expenses were not allocated to the Company from affiliates during the period.

Organizational Costs
Organizational costs are amortized over three years; amortization expense
continued to be recognized during the period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include an investment ($198,167 and $341,722 as of June 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively) in Hartford Liquid Asset Trust (see
Note 3).

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 - Transactions with Affiliates

HLIC provides administrative services to HLFC, including use of its
facilities and personnel. In accordance with plans to terminate the program,
HLIC did not allocate administrative expenses to HLFC during the period.

HLFC invests a portion of its assets in Hartford Liquid Asset Trust, a short
term investment pool of liquid securities, in which companies of the The
Hartford participate. 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 principal contributions.

Pursuant to the pending termination of the program, HLFC discontinued
issuance of new participant programs as of January 1, 1997. HLFC's funds for
financing existing programs were obtained through a promissory note agreement
with HLIC. The agreement allowed HLIC to advance to HLFC funds in an amount
up to $7,000,000. The interest rate for the note equals the 90 day LIBOR
rate plus 1.25 %, and the note is payable on demand.

Note 4 - Income Taxes

From inception of the Company through December 19, 1995, HLFC was included in
the consolidated filing of ITT Corporation. For the period December 20 - 31,
1995, HLFC participated in the consolidated filing of The Hartford's U.S.
Federal income tax return and received from The Hartford current income tax
benefits computed in accordance with the tax sharing arrangements between The
Hartford and its subsidiaries. Subsequent to the spin-off of The Hartford from
its former parent, ITT Corporation, HLFC will not be included in the
consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return of The Hartford and accordingly
since December 31, 1996, HLFC will file as a member of a separate non-life
consolidated group with its immediate parent, HFSC. The effective tax rate in
1997 and 1996 approximated the U.S. Statutory tax rate of 35%. The provision
(benefit) for income taxes was as follows:

June 30, 1997 December 31, 1996
------------- -----------------
Current $ ( 3,869) $ (78,490)
Deferred 1,920 3,840
----------- -----------
$ ( 1,949) $ (74,650)
----------- -----------
----------- -----------

As of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the deferred tax asset was primarily
due to organizational expenses capitalized for tax return purposes until the
start of business of HLFC. Income taxes paid were $0 in 1996 and 1995.

Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, interest, fees and tax receivable, premium loans
receivable and intercompany loan payable amounts reflected in the balance sheet
approximate fair value.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

Operating Results

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, HL Funding Company, Inc. (the Company)
had a net loss of $3,618 compared to a net loss of $78,541 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. Pursuant to the Company's plan to terminate the program,
operating results for the period January 1 through June 30, 1997 reflect
discontinuance of recognition of revenues and expenses associated with the
program and discontinuance of operating expenses allocated to the Company by
affiliates. The only expense recognized during the period was amortization
related to organization costs. The prior year period's net loss was primarily
attributable to net operating expenses of the Company exceeding short-term
interest and program income.
