HL FUNDING COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 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 Hartford Financial Services Group
(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.
Thirteen programs were terminated between January and September 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 management's plan to terminate the program, no participant
related revenues or expenses were recognized or recorded during the period from
January 1, 1997 through September 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 ($228,520 and $341,722 as of September
30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively) in Hartford Liquid Asset Trust
(see Note 3).
6
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 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 files 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:
September 30, 1997 December 31, 1996
------------------ -----------------
Current $ ( 3,868) $ (78,490)
Deferred 2,880 3,840
---------- ----------
$ ( 988) $ (74,650)
---------- ----------
---------- ----------
As of September 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
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996
Operating Results
- -----------------
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, HL Funding Company, Inc. (the
Company) had a net loss of $1,834 compared to a net loss of $109,716 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. Pursuant to the Company's plan to
terminate the program, operating results for the period January 1 through
September 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.
