ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On October 18, 1996, ITT Hartford Group, Inc., the parent company of
Hartford Life Insurance Company, issued the press release set forth as Exhibit
99 hereto.
Certain of the statements contained in the press release (other than
statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are made based upon management's expectations and belief concerning
future developments and their potential effect upon ITT Hartford and Hartford
Life Insurance 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 ITT Hartford and Hartford Life Insurance Company will be those
anticipated by management. Actual results could differ materially from those
expected by ITT Hartford and Hartford Life Insurance Company, depending on the
outcome of certain factors, including (i) future social, economic, legal or
legislative developments that may affect ITT Hartford's ultimate remaining
liability for environmental and asbestos claims, and changes in methodologies
for estimating that liability, (ii) significant changes in interest rates, (iii)
changes in mortality, morbidity, investment, persistency and expense experience
and (iv) increased competition, particularly price competition, reducing product
margins on ITT Hartford's and Hartford Life Insurance Company's businesses.
