REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Plan Administrator and Members of
The Hartford Investment and Savings Plan
Hartford, Connecticut
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Hartford
Investment and Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 2006 financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of
December 31, 2006 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of
Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. Such schedule
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2006 financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in
relation to the basic 2006 financial statements taken as a whole.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2006 the Plan changed its method of
accounting for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to conform to FASB Staff Position
AAGINV-1 and SOP94-4-1: Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain
Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health
and Welfare and Pension Plans and, retrospectively, adjusted the 2005 financial statement for the
change.

THE HARTFORD INVESTMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
($ in thousands)
Note 1. Description of the Plan
The following description of The Hartford Investment and Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided for
general information purposes only. Members should refer to the Plan Document for more complete
information.
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries
(collectively, The Hartford or the Company) provide investment products, life insurance, group
benefits, automobile and homeowners products, and business and property-casualty insurance to both
individual and commercial customers in the United States and internationally. The Plan Sponsor,
Hartford Fire Insurance Company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Hartford.
Information with regard to eligibility, contributions, distributions, vesting, trustees,
withdrawals, loans, fund redistribution and definitions of all capitalized terms are contained in
the Plan Document, which is available to members on the Fidelity Net Benefits website.
Plan Changes
See Note 9 for a general description of amendments made to the Plan Document during the year ended
December 31, 2006.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all full-time and part-time
employees of the Company who have attained age 18 (see Note 9). The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The Trust, as defined in the Plan Document, is the aggregate funds held by the Trustee, State
Street Bank and Trust Company, under the trust agreement established for the purposes of this
Plan.
Contributions
Plan members may elect to save a percentage of their base salary and may designate their savings as
before-tax, after-tax or a combination of both. Generally, savings may be elected based on 1% to
30% of base salary (see Note 9). Members who are highly compensated employees may have
contribution limits of less than 30% due to the operation of certain tests required under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
Basic Savings are contributions which are not in excess of the first 6% of a members base salary.
For members who have completed at least six months of service, an amount equal to 50% of a members
Basic Savings is matched by the Company (Matching Company contribution) (see Note 9). Members
savings in excess of 6% of base salary are supplemental savings that are not matched by the
Company. In addition, for employees who have completed at least six months of service, the Company
contributes 0.5% of highly compensated eligible employees base salary and 1.5% of all other
eligible employees base salary (Floor Company contribution) to each employees Floor Company
contribution account. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, highly compensated employees are
employees whose prior year earnings are equal to or exceed $100 and $95 per annum for 2006 and
2005, respectively. An employee becomes eligible for Floor Company contributions after reaching
the age of 18 and completing six months of service, regardless of whether the employee elects to
participate in the Plan (see Note 9).
Administrative Costs
The Trust pays certain administrative expenses of the Plan up to 0.25% of the market value of Trust
assets. Expenses not paid by the Trust are borne by the Company.
F-4
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
($ in thousands)
Member Accounts
Each members account is credited with that members contributions and allocations of (a) the
Companys contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and is charged with an allocation of administrative
expenses. Allocations are based on member account balances, as defined in the Plan Document. The
benefit to which a member is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from that members vested
account balance.
Vesting
Members are 100% vested at all times with respect to employee and Floor Company contributions and
earnings thereon. Vesting in Matching Company contributions begins after one year of service at
which time members are 20% vested. The vesting increases 20% each consecutive year until the fifth
anniversary of service at which time the members are 100% vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing
statement, a member becomes fully vested in such members Matching Company contribution account
upon retirement (for certain members), disability, death, reaching age 65, or upon the complete
discontinuance of Matching Company contributions or termination of the Plan.
Investment Options
As of December 31, 2006, contributions of member savings and Company contributions may be invested
in any of the twenty investment options of the Plan (see Note 9) in multiples of 1%, as elected by
the member (member directed investments).
Certain investment options are parties-in-interest with The Hartford. See Notes 3 and 8 for
further discussion.
Member Loans
Members may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $0.5 to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50 or
50% of their vested account balances. Loan transactions are treated as transfers between the
investment funds and 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 members account
and bears interest at the prime rate in the 3-month calendar quarter in which the loan originates
(as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1% and is fixed for the term of the loan. Principal
and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions.
Payment of Benefits
On termination of service due to death, disability, retirement, or other reasons, members or their
designated beneficiaries may elect to receive either a lump sum amount equal to the value of the
vested interest in their respective accounts, annual installments over a period not greater than
thirty years (subject to certain conditions), or annual installments over the recipients
life expectancy and may be paid in cash or stock distributions. Members or their designated
beneficiaries may also elect to defer distributions subject to certain conditions.
Forfeitures
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $302 and $0, respectively.
These forfeitures are applied to reduce future employer contributions. During the year ended
December 31, 2006, employer contributions were reduced by $228 from forfeitures.
Note 2. Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the Department of Labors Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under ERISA.
F-5
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
($ in thousands)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management of the Plan to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including mutual funds, company stock and
investment contracts. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as
interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities, it is possible that changes in the values of investment securities
may occur in the near term.
The Plans investments are stated at fair value. The fair value of the common stock of The
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. is based on quoted market prices. Mutual funds and pooled
temporary investment funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year
end. The Stable Value Fund includes synthetic and traditional guaranteed investment contracts (the
GICs) whose underlying investments are stated at fair value. Fair value of the underlying
investments is determined by the issuer based on the replacement cost methodology for the synthetic
GICs and the discounted cash flow methodology for the traditional GICs. Member loans are valued at
their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are
recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are
recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Adoption of New Accounting Guidance
The financial statements reflect the retroactive adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment
Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants (the AICPA) Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and
Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP) for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. As required
by the FSP, the statements of net assets available for benefits present investment contracts at
fair value and include an additional line item to adjust fully benefit-responsive contracts from
fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is
presented on a contract value basis in accordance with the FSP and is, therefore, consistent with
the prior year presentation. The adoption of the FSP did not impact the net assets available for
benefits at December 31, 2005 (see Note 4).
Payment of Benefits
Benefits paid to members are recorded when distributed (see Note 7).
Contributions
Employee and employer contributions are recorded in the period during which the Company makes
payroll deductions from members compensation.
Note 3. Investments
Investments of the Plan consist of common stock of the Company, various investment funds (including
index and mutual funds managed by the Company and pooled temporary investment funds managed by the
Trustee), group annuity contracts issued by unaffiliated insurers that are held by an investment
fund sponsored by the Company, and loans receivable from members.

Note 4. Investments in Group Annuity Contracts
The Plan has entered into numerous traditional and synthetic group annuity contracts with
unaffiliated insurance carriers. A synthetic group annuity contract is an investment contract
through an issuers guarantee of a specific interest rate (the wrapper contract) and a portfolio of
financial instruments that are owned by the Plan. The 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 and traditional group annuity contracts have fixed
crediting interest rates. The synthetic GIC contracts include underlying assets which are held in a
trust owned by the Plan and utilize a benefit-responsive wrapper contract managed by Deutsche Asset
Management. The fair value of the benefit-responsive wrapper contract was zero at December 31, 2006
and 2005. The contract provides that participants execute Plan transactions at contract value.
These contracts are fully benefit-responsive and are included in the financial statements at fair
value (see Note 2). Fully benefit-responsive contracts provide for a stated return on principal
invested over a specified period and permit withdrawals at contract value for benefit payments,
loans, or transfers. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus
earnings, less Plan withdrawals and administrative expenses. Certain events such as Plan
termination or a Plan merger initiated by the Plan Sponsor may limit the ability of the Plan to
transact at contract value or may allow for the termination of the wrapper contract at less than
contract value. The Plan Sponsor does not believe that any events that may limit the ability of the
Plan to transact at contract value are probable.
The relationship of future crediting rates and the adjustments to contract value reported on the
statements of net assets available for benefits are provided through the mechanism of the crediting
rate formula. The difference between the contract value and the fair market value of the
investments of each contract is periodically amortized into each contracts crediting rate. The
amortization factor is calculated by dividing the difference between the fair market value of the
investments and the contract value by the duration of the bond portfolio covered by the investment
contract. Key factors that could influence future crediting rates
include, but are not limited to, Plan cash flows, changes in interest rates, total return performance of the
fair market value bond strategies underlying each synthetic GIC contract, default or credit
failures of any of the securities, investment contracts, or other
F-7
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
($ in thousands)
Note 4. Investments in Group Annuity Contracts (continued)
investments held in the fund and the initiation of an extended termination of one or more synthetic
GIC contracts by the manager or the contract issuer. The interest rates are reset quarterly based
on market rates of other similar investments, the current yield of the underlying investments and
the spread between the market value and contract value, but the rate can not be less than zero.
The contract issuer is not allowed to terminate any of the traditional and synthetic GICs and
settle at an amount different from contract value unless there is a breach of the contract which is
not corrected within the applicable cure period. Actions that will result in a breach include, but
are not limited to, material misrepresentation, failure to pay synthetic GIC fees, or any other
payment due under the contract, and failure to adhere to investment guidelines.

Note 5. Federal Income Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated March 23, 2004
that the Plan and related Trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However,
the Company and the Plan Administrator believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
Note 6. Plan Termination
Although the Company 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 or partial termination of the Plan or complete discontinuance
of contributions, the interests of affected members automatically become fully-vested.

($ in thousands)
the Plan held 8,386,891 shares and 9,443,348 shares of common stock of The Hartford with a
cost basis of $340,813 and $372,332, respectively. During the year ended December 31,
2006, the Plan recorded dividend income from The Hartfords common stock and mutual funds of
$129,788.
Note 9. Plan Amendments
Effective January 1, 2006, the following changes were made to the Plan:
|
|
|
PLANCO Financial Services LLC employees that participate in the Plan became eligible for
Matching Company contributions and Floor Company contributions. |
|
|
|
|
The minimum eligibility age to participate in the Plan, as well as to receive Floor
Company contributions, was lowered from age 19 to age 18. |
|
|
|
|
The minimum percentage of base salary designated for before-tax savings was lowered from 2% to 1%. |
In addition, the following changes were made to the Plan in 2006:
|
|
|
Beginning June 15, 2006, six individual Target Retirement Funds were made available as investment options. |
|
|
|
|
Effective September 1, 2006, the Stock HLS Fund and the Advisers HLS Fund were no longer
available as investment options. The Capital Appreciation HLS Fund and the Vanguard Target
Retirement Date Funds were determined as default funds to which assets from the Stock HLS
Fund and Advisers HLS Fund would be transferred, respectively, should participants not
designate another fund. |
|
|
|
|
Effective September 1, 2006, no more than 10% of future contributions and fund transfers
can be directed to The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. Stock Fund. |
|
|
|
|
Effective September 1, 2006, the default investment option for Plan members that have
not made an investment election is the Target Retirement Fund nearest to the Plan members
expected retirement date (the Company assumes this to be age 65).
