REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of The Hartford Investment and Savings Plan as of December 30, 1997 and December
31, 1996, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the period from January 1, 1997 to December 30, 1997 and the year
ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements and the schedules referred
to below are the responsibility of the Plan Administrator. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules 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 net assets available for benefits of The Hartford
Investment and Savings Plan as of December 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the period from January 1,
1997 to December 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules on pages F-13
through F-17 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

THE HARTFORD INVESTMENT AND SAVING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., ("The Hartford" or the "Company",
formerly ITT Hartford Group, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ITT Corporation ("ITT" which was renamed ITT Industries, Inc.). On
December 19, 1995, ITT distributed all of the outstanding shares of The Hartford
to ITT shareholders of record in an action known herein as the "Distribution".
In such Distribution, holders of common stock of ITT, including ITT Investment
and Savings Plan for Salaried Employees ("ITT Plan"), received one share of ITT
Destinations, Inc. (renamed "ITT Corporation") common stock, one share of ITT
Industries, Inc. common stock and one share of The Hartford common stock for
each share of ITT common stock held. Shares in each of The Hartford, ITT
Corporation, and ITT Industries, Inc. are held in separate funds. (In February
1998, ITT Corporation was acquired by Starwood Hotels and Lodging and the ITT
Corporation Company Stock Fund changed to the Starwood Stock Fund. Both the ITT
Industries and Starwood Stock Funds will be terminating on September 1, 1998.)
Through the date of the Distribution, eligible employees of the Company
participated in the ITT Plan. Subsequent to the Distribution, the Company
established The Hartford Investment and Savings Plan (the "Plan", formerly ITT
Hartford Investment and Savings Plan) for the benefit of eligible employees of
The Hartford. The accounts of employees who had participated in the ITT Plan
were transferred to the Plan.
Information with regard to eligibility, contributions, distributions, vesting,
trustees, withdrawals, restoration, loans, fund redistribution and definitions
of all capitalized terms are contained in the Plan's information document, which
has been distributed to the participants.
In 1997, the Plan year end was changed from December 31 to December 30.
General
- - -------
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time and some
part-time employees of the Company who have six months or more of service and
who have attained age 19. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
Contributions
- - -------------
Plan members may generally elect to save 2% to 16% of base salary. Members may
designate their savings as before-tax, after-tax or a combination of both.
Members who are highly compensated employees may be limited to less than 16% due
to the operation of certain tests required under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the "Code"), as amended.
An amount equal to 50% of a member's Basic Savings is matched by the Company.
Basic Savings are contributions which are not in excess of the first 6% of base
salary. Member's savings in excess of 6% of base salary are supplemental savings
that are not matched by Company contributions. In addition, the Company
allocates .50% of base salary to the Floor Company Contribution Account of each
eligible employee. Matching Company contributions and Floor Company
contributions are invested in The Hartford Company Stock Fund, or for employees
of Hartford Life, Inc. ("Hartford Life" or "HLI"), the holding company parent of
The Hartford's significant life insurance subsidiaries, Hartford Life Company
Stock Fund.
Effective December 31, 1997, the Company guaranteed a fixed minimum contribution
(based on a percentage of the amount of employer contributions normally made)
that represents the employee salary deferral contributions and matching
contributions for the subsequent Plan year. If actual contributions are less
than the guaranteed fixed minimum amount at the end of the Plan year, then an
additional matching contribution would be made to the participants.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Administrative Costs
- - --------------------
The Trust, as defined by the Plan, pays for the administrative expenses of the
Plan up to 0.25% of the market value of Trust assets. The Company continues to
pay Plan administrative expenses which are not paid by the Trust.
Member Accounts
- - ---------------
Each member's account is credited with that member's contributions and
allocations of (a) the Company's contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and is
charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on
member earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a member
is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from that member's vested
account.
Vesting
- - -------
Vesting in the Company-matched contributions begins one year after employment at
20% and increases 20% each consecutive year until the fifth consecutive year of
employment when 100% is vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing statement, a
member becomes fully vested in such member's Company contribution account upon
retirement, disability, death, or upon reaching age 65, or the complete
discontinuance of Company contributions or upon termination of the Plan.
Investment Options
- - ------------------
Contributions of member savings are invested in any one or more of the funds
listed below (with the exception of ITT Corporation and ITT Industries Company
Stock), in multiples of 1%, as elected by the member. During 1997, the Plan
added eight new investment options as noted below. Except with respect to

Industries Company Stock Funds.

1997.
Participant Loans
- - -----------------
Members may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 to a maximum
equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balances.
Loan transactions are treated as transfers to (from) the investment fund from
(to) the loan fund. Loan terms range from one to five years, or up to 15 years
for the purchase of a primary residence. The loan is secured by the balance in
the member's account and bears interest at the prime rate (as published in the
Wall Street Journal) plus 1%. The interest rate is determined quarterly.
Payment of Benefits
- - -------------------
On termination of service due to death, disability, retirement, or other
reasons, members may elect to receive either a lump sum amount equal to the
value of the vested interest in their respective accounts or, subject to certain
conditions, annual installments over a period not greater than twenty years.
Members may also elect to defer distributions subject to certain conditions.
Forfeitures
- - -----------
Forfeitures of the nonvested portion of any member's Company contributions are
applied to reduce future Company contributions. Forfeitures were immaterial for
the period from January 1, 1997 to December 30, 1997 and the year ended December
31, 1996.
F-10
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under ERISA requires management of the plan to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Plan investments, except group annuity contracts, are reported at fair value.
The fair value of the underlying common stock of The Hartford Company Stock
Fund, Hartford Life Company Stock Fund, ITT Industries Company Stock Fund and
ITT Corporation Company Stock Fund are based on quoted market prices. Interests
in mutual funds and pooled investment funds are valued at the redemption price
established by the trustee or the investment manager of the respective fund.
The Plan has also entered into numerous group annuity contracts primarily with
insurance carriers. These contracts, which are classified as part of the Stable
Value Fund, are fully benefit responsive and are included in the financial
statements at contract value, which approximates fair value. Contract value
represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less Plan
withdrawals and administrative expenses. As of December 30, 1997, the estimated
fair value of the group annuity contracts was $255,238. The average yield and
weighted average crediting interest rate on these contracts was 6.54% and 6.09%,
respectively, for the period from January 1, 1997 to December 30, 1997, and
6.59% and 6.18%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1996. Crediting
interest rate resets are generally made quarterly for synthetic contracts and
are reset based on formulas which may use market value, book value, duration and
yield. A synthetic group annuity contract is an investment contract that
simulates the performance of a traditional group annuity contract through the
use of financial instruments. A key difference between a synthetic group annuity
contract and a traditional group annuity contract is that the Plan owns the
assets underlying the synthetic group annuity contract. Traditional group
annuity contracts have fixed crediting interest rates.
NOTE 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX
In 1997, the Company filed with the Internal Revenue Service a request for a
formal determination that the Plan is qualified and that the Trust established
under the Plan is tax-exempt. On February 25, 1998, a favorable determination
was received from the Internal Revenue Service as to the tax-qualified status of
the Plan.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the Plan's financial
statements. The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is
currently being operated in compliance with applicable provisions of the Code
and other applicable law, and there have been no amendments, changes or events
which have occurred which could affect the Plan's qualified status.
NOTE 5. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to suspend, reduce, or partially or completely discontinue its
contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, the trust agreement and the
Trust hereunder subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination
of the Plan or partial termination or complete discontinuance of contributions,
the interest of affected members shall automatically become nonforfeitable.

end of the Plan year, but not yet paid as of that date.
NOTE 7. PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are held in funds managed by Bankers Trust Company, the
Trustee, as defined by the Plan, and certain subsidiaries of The Hartford. Fees
paid by the Plan for Trustee and investment management services provided by
Bankers Trust Company amounted to $589 and $595 for the period from January 1,
1997 to December 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, respectively.
Fees paid by the Plan to certain subsidiaries of the Company for investment
management services, the issuance of group annuity contracts and print services
amounted to $98 and $26 for the period from January 1, 1997 to December 30, 1997
and the year ended December 31, 1996, respectively. In addition, certain Plan
investments are shares of The Hartford common stock and Hartford Life common
stock. Since The Hartford is the Plan Sponsor, these transactions qualify as
party-in-interest transactions.
