AETNA LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc.)
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include Aetna Life Insurance and
Annuity Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aetna Insurance Company
of America and Aetna Private Capital, Inc. (collectively, the "Company").
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc. ("HOLDCO"). HOLDCO is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc., whose ultimate parent is
Aetna Inc. ("Aetna").
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and are unaudited. Certain
reclassifications have been made to 1996 financial information to conform
to the 1997 presentation. These interim statements necessarily rely heavily
on estimates, including assumptions as to annualized tax rates. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of
results for the interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of
a normal, recurring nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes as presented in the Company's 1996
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain financial information that is normally
included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, but that is not required for
interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted.
2. Future Application of Accounting Standards
Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, was
issued in June 1996 and provides accounting and reporting standards for
transfers of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities.
FAS No. 125 is effective for 1997 financial statements; however, certain
provisions relating to accounting for repurchase agreements and securities
lending are not effective until January 1, 1998. Provisions effective in
1997 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations. The Company does not expect adoption of this
statement for provisions effective in 1998 to have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.
FAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, was issued in June 1997 and
establishes standards for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of financial statements.
Comprehensive income encompasses all changes in shareholder's equity
(except those arising from transactions with owners) and includes net
income, net unrealized capital gains or losses on available for sale
securities and foreign currency translation adjustments. As this new
standard only requires additional information in a financial statement,
it will not affect the Company's financial position or results of
operations. FAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997, with earlier application permitted. The Company is
currently evaluating the presentation alternatives permitted by the
statement.

(A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc.)
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
2. Future Application of Accounting Standards -continued
FAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, was issued in June 1997 and establishes standards for the
reporting of information relating to operating segments in annual financial
statements, as well as disclosure of selected information in interim
financial reports. This statement supersedes FAS No. 14, Financial
Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise, which requires reporting
segment information by industry and geographic area (industry approach).
Under FAS No. 131, operating segments are defined as components of a
company for which separate financial information is available and is used
by management to allocate resources and assess performance (management
approach). This statement is effective for year-end 1998 financial
statements. Interim financial information will be required beginning in
1999 (with comparative 1998 information). The Company does not anticipate
that this standard will significantly impact the composition of its current
operating segments, which are consistent with the management approach.
3. Financial Instruments
The Company engages in hedging activities to manage interest rate and price
risks. Such hedging activities have principally consisted of using
off-balance sheet instruments such as futures and forward contracts and
interest rate swap agreements. There were no such contracts or agreements
open as of June 30, 1997.

4. Severance and Facilities Charges
In the second quarter of 1996, the Company was allocated severance and
facilities reserves from Aetna to reflect actions taken or to be taken to
reduce the level of corporate expenses and other costs previously absorbed
by Aetna's property-casualty operations.
In the third quarter of 1996, the Company established severance and
facilities reserves in the Financial Services and Individual Life Insurance
segments to reflect actions taken or to be taken in order to make its
businesses more competitive.
Activity for the six months ended June 30, 1997 within the severance and
facilities reserves (pretax, in millions) and positions eliminated related
to such actions were as follows:
Reserve Positions
----------------------------- --------- ---------
Balance at December 31, 1996 $ 47.9 524
Actions taken (1) (17.1) (121)
--------- ---------
Balance at June 30, 1997 $ 30.8 403
----------------------------- --------- ---------
(1) Includes $8.9 million of severance-related actions and $6.3 million of
corporate allocation-related actions.
The Company's severance actions are expected to be substantially completed
by March 31, 1998. The corporate allocation actions and vacating of certain
leased office space are expected to be substantially completed in 1997.
5. Related Party Transactions
Effective December 31, 1988, the Company entered into a reinsurance
agreement with Aetna Life Insurance Company ("Aetna Life") in which
substantially all of the nonparticipating individual life and annuity
business written by Aetna Life prior to 1981 was assumed by the Company.
Effective January 1, 1997, this agreement has been amended to transition
(based on underlying investment rollover in Aetna Life) from a modified
coinsurance to a coinsurance arrangement. As a result of this change,
reserves will be ceded to the Company from Aetna Life as investment
rollover occurs and the loan previously established will be reduced.

6. Litigation
The Company is involved in numerous lawsuits arising, for the most part, in
the ordinary course of its business operations. While the ultimate outcome
of litigation against the Company cannot be determined at this time, after
consideration of the defenses available to the Company and any related
reserves established, it is not expected to result in liability for amounts
material to the financial condition of the Company, although it may
adversely affect results of operations in future periods.
7. Dividends
On June 27, 1997, the Company paid a $5.3 million dividend to HOLDCO. The
additional amount of dividends that may be paid by the Company to HOLDCO in
1997 without prior approval by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of
Connecticut is $65.8 million.

Independent Auditors' Review Report
The Board of Directors
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Aetna
Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows for
the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. These condensed consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity
Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 4,
1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, is fairly
presented, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

respectively, for the same periods a year ago, for annuity premiums on
contracts converting from the accumulation phase to payout options with
life contingencies.
(2) Excludes net unrealized capital gains of $318.0 million and $154.8 million
at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
(3) Includes $6,142.9 million and $3,772.3 million at June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, of assets invested through the Company's products in
unaffiliated mutual funds.
(4) June 30, 1997 includes the transfer to the Company of $950.3 million of
assets under management related to business previously written by an
affiliate.
Overview
The Company's net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997
increased 24% and 12%, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago.
Excluding net realized capital gains, results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997 increased 21% from the same periods a year ago. Such increases
reflected an after-tax severance and facilities charge of $9.1 million allocated
to the Company
(12)
by Aetna in the second quarter of 1996 (see Note 4 of the Condensed Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). Excluding realized capital gains and the
second quarter 1996 severance and facilities charge, earnings for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased 5% and increased 8%, respectively, from
the same periods a year ago, reflecting improved earnings from the financial
services segment offset by lower earnings from the life insurance segment.
Assets under management, excluding the amount related to business previously
written by an affiliate, increased by 22% primarily due to continued business
growth through deposits and appreciation in the stock market.
Of the $11.9 billion and $11.4 billion of fixed annuity assets under management
at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, 24% were fully guaranteed and 76% were
experience rated. The average annualized earned rate on investments supporting
fully guaranteed contracts was 7.8% and 7.9% and the average annualized earned
rate on investments supporting experience rated contracts was 8.0% and 8.1% for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The average
annualized credited rate on fully guaranteed contracts was 6.7% and 6.7% and the
average annualized credited rate on experience rated contracts was 5.9% and 6.1%
for each of the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
resulting annualized interest margins on fully guaranteed contracts were 1.1%
and 1.2% and on experience rated contracts were 2.1% and 2.0% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
The duration of the investment portfolios supporting the Company's liabilities
is regularly monitored and adjusted in order to maintain an aggregate duration
that is within 0.5 years of the estimated duration of the underlying
liabilities. For additional information regarding the Company's asset/liability
management practices please see the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(1) Includes $13.7 million and $30.1 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997, respectively, and $12.3 million and $32.3 million,
respectively, for the same periods a year ago, for annuity premiums on
contracts converting from the accumulation phase to payout options with
life contingencies.
(2) Excludes any effect of the corporate severance and facilities charge
recorded in the second quarter of 1996 which is not directly allocable to
the segment.
(3) Excludes net unrealized capital gains of $40.3 million and $145.8 million
at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
(4) Includes $6,017.6 million and $3,717.1 million at June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, of assets invested through the Company's products in
unaffiliated mutual funds.
(5) June 30, 1997 includes the transfer to the Company of $950.3 million of
assets under management related to business previously written by an
affiliate.
Net income in the financial services segment for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997 increased 21% and 11%, respectively, compared to the same periods
a year ago. Excluding net realized capital gains, results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 increased 16% and 23%, respectively, when compared to
the same periods a year ago. Second quarter and year-to-date earnings reflect
increased charges assessed against policyholders and net investment income
primarily from increased assets under management partially offset by increased
amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. Assets under management,
excluding the amount related to business previously written by an affiliate,
increased primarily due to continued business growth through deposits and
appreciation in the stock market. Earnings also reflect lower operating expenses
resulting from cost savings associated with previous restructurings.
